Henry Ford, the manufacturer OF
the Ford, who is building a gigantic
new plant at Detroit, is laying great
stress on the use of vanadium steel
in the manufacture of automobiles.
Mr.. Ford claims that the use of this
steel will reduce materially the run
ming expense of a car, as we'll as the
maintenance cost. Mr. Ford bases his
opinions on the assumption that the
great reduction in weight of the car,
by the use of this new steel. will lessen
the weight on the tires and conse-
quently increase their life. He also
believes that this reduction of weight
will reduce the consumption of gaso-
line and in that manner also be
great saving to the motorist
According to Mr.. Ford, the tests
which the government has been MAX
ing lately on the qualities of this steel
have proved that it is much lighter

1t was inadvertently stated
in Mondays Robesonian that the
case against Will Edwards, who
was arrested Saturday night for
appropriating money given him
by the firm of Caldwell & Car
lyle to pay. freight bills, had been
compromised. The money was
replaced and it was desired that
the matter be dropped, but that
was of course beyond the author
ity of Mayor Rowland, before
whom the matter came up Mon
day, so Edwards was bound to
court in a bond in the sum of
500, which was given by his
father, Mr.. Ben Edwards.

NEW RULER IN TURKEY.
Abdul Hamid Dethroned and
His Brother Proclaimed Sui

Constantinople Dispatch. 9th.
The reign of Abdul Hamid II.
ended today with his deposition
and the accession of his brother,
Mehemed Reschaad Effendi as
Mehmed ", a variation of
'Mahmet," it being considered
inappropriate to assume the pre-
else name of the prophet. Meh-
med V. is the thirty-fifth sover-
eign of Turkey, in male descent,
of the House of Osman, the found
Ell of the empire, and is the
twenty-ninth Sultan since the
conquest of Constantinople.
The two houses of Parliament,
meeting as a national assembly
in the forenoon, approved the de-
cree of deposition, which was
read by the Sheik-Ul-Islam, chief
of the Ulemas and Supreme
Judge on ecclesiastical questions.
The document recited that Abdul
Hamid's acts were contrary to
the sacred law, and set forth a
long list of crimes, the whole
making a terrible indictment.
The assembly chose Mehemed
Reschaad as Sultan and appoint
ed committees to notify
the dethroned sovereign anC
his successor of it's action. The
firing of 101 guns announced tt
the waiting people that a new
Sultan had been proclaimed.
The ceremonies connected will
the transfer of the power wer,
simple. The newly chosen ruler
came from his palace in gatal;
through streets, lined will
troops and cheering thousands
and took the oath at the Wa
Office. He then proceeded t
the Parliament and later wen
to the Dolmabagtsche palace a
head of the empire, where TO
so many years he had practical
ly been a prisoner.
Martial law was relaxed to
night and the people gave them
selves over to celebrating tn
victory of the Young Turks
party and the end of Abdl
Hamid's reign. Many builc
ings were illuminated, an
thousands of rounds were fire
by the soldiers for joy. Gene
al good humor prevails every
where.
