Dspesed Sultan to Be Tried.
1t is officially announced that Abdul
Hamid, the deposed sultan, has been
ordered TO appear before a military
court martial at Salonlki to answer
charges of conspiracy and high trea-
son. 1t is expected that sentence of
death viii be passed upon him.
Search parties are engaged in the
grounds of the Yildiz kiosk digging for
treasure supposed to have been buried
by Abdul Hamid
The police have made numerous
selxures Of arms, ammunition and
bombs which were TO have been used
in fanatica outbreak which General
Echefkets timely occupation of the
city prevented.
Mehammsd Appears In Public.
Mohammed ". the new sultan, clad
in a khaki uniform and accompanied
by a suit of half dozen officers of
his household, drove through Constan-
tinople to and from the Mosque Of st.
Sophia for prayer.
The simplicity of this Selamlik was
in strong contrast to the pomp with
which Abdul Hamid WAS wont to go
and say his prayers. There were no
masses of troops shouting homage in
chorus to an accompaniment Of crash
ing bands, and the simplicity Of the
function was taken as an evidence of
the democratic tendencies of the new
ruler.
For the first time the subjects of
Mohammed V. had good chance to
look at him. They saw stout, happy
looking old gentleman, who seemed to
be enjoying the occasion as much as
any one in the immense holiday crowd.

and bruised by the cogs. Z
Funderach was fifty-fye years old

The two wheelbarrow men had
just left the building to get mora
clay when Funderach either had an
attack of vertigo or slipped and fell
into the pan. One of his legs caught
in the grinders while the man. franz
tic with pain, shrieked for assistance.
John Stumpf, another employe, was
just coming to the lower floor on a

fast in the grinder, made a heroic
effort to reach the lever to stop the

removed from the cogs. Coroner
Ferd Garretson was notified and. af-
ter viewing the body, removed it to
