immigration Commissioner
Accused of Thwarting
Government Plans.
STATE AGENTS
QUIT IN DISGUST
His Methods Said to Have Para
lyzed Distribution of
Aliens.
By JAMES HAY, Jr.

1t developed today that one OF the
reasons why Robert Watchorn is to
leave the Government service is that.
as Commissioner of immigration at New
York. he did much to thwart and nullify
the endeavors of the Department of
Commerce and Labor to distribute immi-
grants in States and Territories where
they might find suitable occupation.
In taking this course. Mr. Watchorn
went directly against the immigration
act Of 1907, which provides in most
specific terms that every facility for
the furnishing Of information TO aliens
about opportunities for work should
be afforded.
Not only did he do much which hindered
the work of Terence V Powderly, chief
of the division OF information, but he
went so far as 10 make the labor Of
state immigration agents, stationed at
New York, practically ineffective by de-
nying them free access to aliens COM
ing to Ellis Island. The results of
these tactics are considered by this
Administration and Secretary Nagel as
disastrous to the movement to distrib-
ute immigrants in the country districts
instead CT allowing them TO remain in
large cities

TRIAL FOR GOOPERS
Motion of Carmack's Slayers

NASHVILLE, April 27.-Judge Hart
has overruled the motion for a new
trial for Duncan E. Cooper and his son,
Robin Cooper. convicted CT murder in
the second degree in killing Senator
Carmack. and given twenty years in
the penitentiary. The decision viii be
appealed.
The bonds OF the Coopers were con-
;aued and It is not expected the case
sHin reach the Supreme Court before
some time late next fail.
In the meanwhile, both Of the Coope-s
are going on an extended trip for rest,
while there IS a rumor here that Robin
Cooper will be married soon.
Today's decision was expected. as
Judge Hart had practically ruled on all
OF the points raised by the attorneys
for the CCopers at one time or another
during the progress OF the trial.
The de- -ton Of Judge Hart was as
follows:
1.-The motion IN the case Of the State
Cooper, being before this court for dis
Dosal. all matters submitted TO me by
the attorneys for both sides have been
carefully investigated. After examin-
ing the grounds alleged Tor error on
which ] have been asked to set aside
the verdict of the jury heretofore rem
dered, the court - constrained TO rule
that it sees no reason of valid and
legal nature why II should not stand,
and II Is hereby ordered that the YER
dict stand. and the motion to set It
aside is overruled."
Formal sentence was at once waived
bv both the defendants, and Judge An
derson asked for a stay OF judgment
pending a conference Of the attorneys.

BODY OF SUICIDE
FOUND BY A DOG
GeorgeBurdette Hangs Him
self to Limb Near
Glen Echo.

The persistent barking OF a pet dog
aroused the curiosity Of Mrs. Robert
n. Onutt, while she was working in
her garden near Glen Echo this morIi-
ing, and following the dog. who con-
tinued to run into the woods and back
again, Mrs. Offutt was led to the dead
body Of George Burdette. a farmer
living in the neighborhood. which was
hanging to the limb of a beech tree.
Mr.. Burdette disappeared from his home
between Concord and Glen Echo sun
day morning.
Mrs. OfUtt returned and notified tRe
Coroner Austin. who cut the body dewn.
An autopsy was performed. and it was
found that Mr.. Burdette's neck had
been broken. 1t was evident, not only
from this fact but from the condition
Of the bark on the tree, that Mr.. Bur
dette had climbed the tree. fastened
the rope first around the limb and then
around his neck, and jumped.
Mr. Burdette disappeared from his
home, which was situated on a small
farm owned by him, last Sunday morn
ing eaten his breakfast. He told no
body where he was going or even that
he was going away. A searching party
was organized. bCt no trace of Mr.
Burdette could cs found. The spot
where Mrs. Offutt found the body to-
day is about half a mile from the Bur
dette farm.
Mr. Burdette was about sixty-Svs
years old and is survived by his wife.

TROUBLE IN STORE
FOR NEW REGIME
Millions of Orthodox Moham-
medans in Asia Minor Will Re-
sent the Deposition.
CoNSTANTINOPLE, April 27.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27.
The Sultan has been deposed.
A salute of 1ol guns has just been
fired in honor of the new Sultan.
This is the official salute.
Abdul's dethronement is the joint
work of the national assembly,
which secretly voted in favor of his
deposition, and religious edict by
the Sheik-ul-lslam- approving and
legalizing the deposition.
The deposed Sultan will be re-
moved from the Yildiz Kiosk today.
Immediately following the deposi-
ton of Abdul Hamid, his brother,
Mehemmed Rechad Effendi, was
proclaimed the new Sultan amid
scenes of the widest enthusiasm.
"The tyants have fallen; hail to
Rechad," was the cry which was re-
peatedly sounded through the streets.
Enthronement in Progress.
The ceremony Of lSechad's enthrone-
ment is now I'm progress.
The sheik-ul-Islam, who is the head
OF the DIohammedan church. based his
decree approving OF the deposition on
the ground that Abdul had violated the
MosIem religion by many inimical acts
ana therefore it was not an irreligious
act to dethrone him.
The secret session OF the national as
sembiy, which began at noon yesterday.
was resumed today. Its discussion OF
AbduI's fate practically amounted to
= trial OF the Sultan. as he was under
charges corresponding 10 an impeach-
ment. The charges were that his su-
premscy was harmful TO tho church,
contrary to the sacred law, and oppos-
ed 10 the best interests Of the Turkish
people
As far as is known, Abdul is still un-
der guard at the Yildiz Kiosk. His fu-
ture is unknown. IL a. certain that he

mated at s9o,O0O.OoO. and his life is con-

Joy in ConstantinopIe
Despite the JOY in the city over Alb
durs downfall. it is certain the country
will not unanimously approve OF to
days action and civil war IS probable.
The millions OF orthodox Mohammedans
will resent the deposition. In Asia
Minor. especially. the danger Of a re-
volt far surprising the last ten days
is imminent.
Today's action is almost wholly po-
Hticsl in it's significance. At sunrise
tomorrow. unless unforeseen cfrcuTn-
stances intervene. the formal and re-
ligious ceremony will take place ac-
cording 10 the old Turkish custom. At
this ceremony the proclamation official
ly announced by parliament today will
be read. and the new reign will date
