ONE MAN AT HEAD.
General Schefket Central Figure in
Turkish Affairs.

Constantinople, May 18.-Muhmid
Turkish Constitutional forces, both on
land and sea, is the man most fre-
quently in the thoughts of those OBJ
serving or dealing with the confused
politics of the day in Turkey.
He is the one quiet figure upon
whom rests the preservation of order.
The civil branches of the government
look to him to impose their liberal rule
upon the empire and to deal promptly
with persons and factions dangerous to
the state.
The skill and celerity with which
General Schefket brought the third
army corps and part of the second
army corps before Constantinople and
occupied the capitol have amazed the
foreign military men here. Besides
those attached to the embassies, seven
officers came from Germany and five
British officers from Egypt to observe
the development of the campaign.
They have not ceased to discuss the de-
tails of the Constitutional commanders
arrangements.
'The army is merely an instrument
of civil pdwer," said General Schefket
today. "The army and l, as an officer
in it, derive our authority from the
national assembly. The army is fin
ger of parliament only, and works un-
der the will of the cabinet"
The general had an hours talk with
Hilni Pasha, the grand vizier. at the
conclusion of which he said: "The
grand vizier and l are in perfect &C
cord. We have distractions to over
come in our progress toward free and
stable institutions. l hope we will
rise above Them"

San Jose, CAL, May 15.-The whole
sale dismissal of professors and teach
ers at the University of the Pacific,
the big Methodist college here, prelim-
mary to complete reorganization of

NORMAL SCHOOLS DOWN.
Regents Executive Committee Says
Property Cannot Be Leased.

Regents Executive Committee Say:
Property Cannot Be Leased.
Salem Though the three state nor.
NAL schools will be permitted to con.
tinue under state supervision during
the summer, the executive committee
of the state board of normal school re-
gents has decided that none of the
equipment or buildings may be leased
for the purpose of conducting private
normal schools during the next two
years.
The property of the state at Weston,
Monmouth and Ashland will lie unused
until eventually sold under the hammer.
This action of the executive board is
taken in order that there can be no en-
tering wedge for the formulation of a
demand upon the Legislature two years
hence for maintenance funds from any
of the vicinities where the schools are
now located, and is in line with the
policy outlined by the board of regents
at its meeting soon after the legislature
adjourned last February, which policy
was reiterated by the board at its last
meeting.
One or two members of the board
were in favor of leasing the schools,
but all members of the executive COM
mittee, which includes Governor Ben
son, E. Hofer and Superintendent Ack-
erman, were unalterably opposed to it
on the ground that it was the intention
of the last legislature that the normal
schools in their present existence must
be entirely eliminated for the sake of
good government, and no hope must be
given any of the three communities
that their normal school may live.
The normal school matter will prob
ably be definitely settled by the people
at the next general election. If not,
the way will be open for the next
Legislature to create new schools and
place them at any point they may see
fit.

warning, and striking the small terri
tory described, wiped it out almost
completely. Frame houses were crusn-

inward, while others were toppled over
and carried from their foundations.
In some cases sides of buildings were
carried away, leaving the roof and a
few small articles to mark the site.
