Sculptor Submits Designs For
Statue For Audubon Park
at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, April 2S.-Alexan-
der Doyle, the well known sculptor, OF
New York, yesterday submitted to the
design committee of the Jefferson Da-
Wis Monument Association a design
of what promises to be one of the most
imposing monuments in the city. A
miniature counterpart, in plaster, was
presented by Mr.. Doyle to the COM
mittee as being one or more adapted to
give a correct idea Of the real ap
pearance of the monument than any
sketch could be. The design was
shown in one of the rooms of the
st. Charles Hotel, where Mr.. Doyle
is stopping.
This same artist will present to-
day before a committee of the Beau
regard Monument Association an
equestrian statue of General Beaure'
gard, a tentative contract having
been entered into by the artist and
the Beauregard Monument Associa
ton.
The design submitted yesterday OF
the monument to President Davis
met with universal approval from
the members of the committee pres
ent. There were several of these
however, who were not able to at
tend, and in the absence of a quorum
General Eshleman, the chairman o
the committee, said that the desig1
could not be formally accepted. l
is pretty generally understood, how
ever, that this will follow, as tn,
design is magnificent one.
The design shown represents Presi
dent Davis in the Hall of Fame, an
when completed the whole structure
including the statue of Fame at tn
pinnacle, will be thirty-five feet high.

History of Abdul Hamid.

For thirty-three years Abdul Ham,d
H., thirty-fourth sultan of the otto
man empire, held the powers of Eu-
rope at bay. With consummate skill
he maintained most of his empire in
tact from foreign encroachment. Yes
terday he was deposed as sovereign
of Turkey by his own people, whose
demand for constitutional government
he thought he could circumvent.
Last July the sultan was compelled
by the Young Turks party to grant
a constitution to the empire and sew
eral months later Turkey entered foi
the second time in her history upon

an era Of popular government April
13 there broke out at Constantinople
a military revolt against parliament
and the cabinet. This movement has
been generally ascribed to the ma
chinations of the sultan. The Young
Turks answered this attempt upon
popular representation and govsin
ment by assembling the third army
corps, firm in their support of their
political aspirations, outside Constan-
tinople. and on the morning of April
"a they entered the capital. In the
fighting which followed about 1000
men were killed or wounded The
Young Turks were successful and i'm
mediately assumed complete control
OF the city. The next step in the
striking events that have followed
each other with such rapidity was the
deposition of the ruler of the empire.
Abdul Hamid was born Sept %
1912. In spite of his long reign, lit
tie is known of his personal charac>
ter. His predecessors had been AL
tocrats, but he is described as having
brought on Turkey degree of despot-
ism such as the country has not ex'
perienced in many generations. He
lived within the precincts Of the i'm.
perial palace of Yildiz, shut off from
his subjects by triple line of walls,
in mortal fear of his life. The Ar
menian massacres of 1895 and 1896
were laid at the door of the sultan,
but whether he directly fostered them
is not known.
Yet Abdul Hamid has performed
some valuable services to his country
in preventing the partition of his do
mains in Europe among the powers
He took the Turkish army, disogau
lied and useless, and made OF it 0
strong fighting force. He organized
an educational system, permitted 6
daily press in Constantinople anc
gave munificently to the Nussulmaf
charities.
Mehemmed Rechad Effendi, young
er brother of Abdul Hamid, was borl
November 3, 1874, and is legally, ant
according to theh Mussulman law, tn
successor to Abdul Hamid. Up t.
the granting of the constitution las
July, Mehemmed Reschad Effend
lived in practical captivity in plac
on the shores of the Bosphorus. H
was surrounded by household con
posed Of creatures of the sultan, VIII
spied upon his every action. He wa
not allowed to leave the extensiv
palace grounds without the permis
sion of the sultan. Four years ag
he was reported as dying from canoe
of the throat, but he recovered 1roI
his illness and since the advent
popular government last year he ha
enjoyed a degree of personal ibert
hitherto unknown to him.

HE DEVOTES Three
HOURS TO MEASURE
Bailey Is Interrupted Time and Again
BY Members Who Want Authorities
Under Heavy Guard and Begs to Be
Measure Named.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Careful-
ny reviewing incidents with the franz
tng of the constitution, for the pur-
pose of laying foundation for his ar
gument for income tax, Senator Bal
ley today resumed his speech begun in
the Senate yesterday. He discussed
the nature of direct taxation, and
said that question had never been
satisfactorily settled by the Cont
mental Congress, by the Federation
that followed, nor by the Constitu-
tonal Convention. He said it was a
matter of regret that trainers of the
Constitution did not satisfactorily de-
fine what direct tax was.
Reviewing one case after another
Mr.. Bailey quoted from court opin-
ions and other authorities to substan-
tiate his contention respecting the
constitutionality of an income tax. He
then departed for time from his pure
ly legal argument, and launched into
a denunciation of men, who, he said,
resist the income tax as inquisitorial
and calculated to make the United
States nation of liars"
r, "That this tax is inquisitorial,' said
=, Mr.. Bailey "is true, but not more SO
llfhan any other tax. To compel me to
tell the source of my income as is
done in the state in which l live, Is
as inousitorial as to compel me 70
tell the amount of my income.
"The curiosity of the State assessor
is such that he not only compels you
to file an inventory of your own prop
erty, but requires you to file an inven
to,v of vour wife's ornaments. Every
fax must be inquisitorial, because
otherwise the honest men would pay
If and the dishonest men would escape
it,"
He then took up the plea that sucf
fax would make us a nation O.
liars and said:
~ will not insult the American
neople by repeating that charge, bu
will repel it as an unwarranted re
u Election upon our people. l do no
7 think a self-respecting American citi
zen will lie to escape the payment o
tax and if l should find a man whit
was committing perjury to escape
tovation. I would favor disfranchis
ing him. 1t may be that rich men will
tell a lie to avoid paying an income
tax but I will not say so, although
some of them say it of themselves.
