SULTAN LETS H|LM| GO
ACCEPTS RESIGNATION OF HIS
GRAND VIZIER.
Hakka Bey, Ambassador to Rome,
May Be Invited to Form
New Cabinet.

CONSTANTINOPLE, December D.
The sultan today accepted the resignation
of Hilmi Pasha, the grand vizier. The
Turkish press attributes the retirement
of Hilmi Pasha to differences between the
ministry which resigned last night and
the committee OF union and progress over
the general policy of the government
and to the reports from Bagdad Of public
discomfort because Of the existing mo.
nopoly OF navigation.
It Is currently reported that Hakks
Bey, ambassador to Rome, has been in.
vited to form a new cabinet. but some
doubt that he would accept the RESPONSE
bility Is expressed.
Whole Cabinet Resigns.
The whole Turkish cabinet resigned last
evening following the resignation OF Hilmi
Pasha.
More than once recently there have
been attempts in the chamber to over
turn the ministry.
1t IL believed that the committee OF
union and progress has decided upon a
change in the ministry because 1t has
arrived at the conclusion that the ac-
cusations against the former grand vizier.
Kiamii Pasha. which caused his resigna-
ton, were unjust.
It is understood that the committee ia
vors the appointment Of Tawfk Pasha.
the present ambassador at London, as
grand vizier but II is not unlikely that
Kianil Pasha will return to power.
Hilmi Pasha Succeeded Kiamil.
Hilmi Pasha was appointed grand vizier
by the sultan on the resignation OF
Kiamil Pasha. February IA. the present
year. and the new cabinet was consti-
tuted May 5. Soon after its formation
the chamber OF deputies and the senate,
with scarcely a dissenting voice, voted
confidence in the ministry, after the gov
ernment's policy was explained. This
policy included the enforcing of econo-
mics to meet the financial deficit and the
eradication of the causes which led to the
Adana outbreaks.
The committee OF union and progress,
which was the moving force in the over
throw of Sultan Abdul Hamid. has, since
the change in administration occurred.
retained a firm grip on the governmental
machinery. There have been rumors
since the early part OF September that
the cabinet would resign or be forced out
Of oface. More recently the committee
demanded the resignation OF the minister
of public works, and this demand was
complied with.
There has been much active opposition
also In the chamber to the grand vizier,
whose program did not satisfy the wishes
Of the Young Turks.

HIT 0Lc0TT BILL.
Commissioners Oppose School
inspection Plan.
HAVE FAITH IN TEACHERS
District Officials Do Not Approve Eff
fort to Provide. Corps of Medi-
cal Inspectors.

| The District Commissioners have found
many objections to the Olcott bill to
make certain changes in the medical in
spection of school children. The bill
sought to provide for corps of about
| fifty medical inspectors which should mot
rely upon principals or teachers to select
the children in need of medical inspection
or treatment One OF the inspectors
should be a physician. to be paid at the
rate of $50 a year, and there would be
a head nurse at $500. Also the bill called
for all committee and board meetings OF
the board of education to be open to the
public under pain of stopping all dis
bursements from school appropriations.
The board meetings at present are public,
the committee meetings are not.
Inspectors Would Be Too Few.
III it is Intended the Commissioners
wrote to Chairman Samuel w. Smith OF
the House District Committee, Ito pre-
vent principals or teachers from selecting
children In need Of medical inspection or
treatment the bill should not be enacted
unless it be amended so as to increase
very largely the number of medical in
spectors SO as to add very large
corps of school nurses to the medical IN
spection service"
The Commissioners base this on the
ground that the teacher who looks her
charges over at roll call knows good
deal about their condition. There is one
teacher to forty or fifty scholars and
the bill would allow an inspector to 1.WO
scholars, making it an impossible task
for the inspector to get around to each
scholar every morning. The teachers. the
Commissioners say, are very well 9ual-
flied to point out sick children and in
asmuch as the inspectors now rely on
the teachers information to some extent.
the Commissioners see no reason to
sweep aside this system.
AS for getting a head physician for
$50 a year the Commissioners believe
that there Is no competent physician who
is going to devote all his time to this
school inspection work at that figure; and
unless he did devote his entire time to
the work the Commissioners believe he
could in no way perform satisfactory
service.
Bill Not Ineligible.
AS for the nurse who shall have a
diploma from an accredited school OF
nursing. the Commissioners say the bill is
satisfactory SO far as 1t goes, but the
number Of nurses provided should be
much greater than the number mentioned
in the bill, and the term accredited school
Of nursing il the bill be passed. should
be defined so as to make the bill intel
lig1ble.'' -,
