CoNsTANTiNoPLE IN TURMOIL
AND WAR MINISTER is SAID
TO HAVE FLED.
VIRTUAL ANARCHY EXISTING
Young Turks Demand Dismissal Of
Two Of Sultan's Ministers
Uprising and Massacre
ls Threatened.

Contantinople, Turkey.-Two hat
surrounding the house of parliament,
demanding the dismissal of Grand
vizier Hilmi Pasha, president of the
Chamber of Deputies, and of Ali RIA
Pasha, minister OF war.
The march of the troops from their
house Of parliament caused intense
excitement throughout the city and
many shops we're closed. The streets
became deserted. 1t was at first
feared that the soldiers intended at.
lacking the cabinet.
Representatives Of the Sultan are
parleying with the soldiers, but the
latter are insistent in their demands,
fraught with the gravest possibilities
and the outcome is declared to be
to the new regime.
Young Turks Foment Trouble.
The outbreak is due to the long.
standing trouble between the Young
Turks, who control parliament, and
the Liberals, who have been incensed
ever since the summary dismissal Of
former Grand Vizier Kiamii Pasha,
who was their leader, and the ap.
pointment to the post of Mimi Pasha,
recognized as a mere tool of the
Young Turks.
The immediate cause of the SOL
diers' mutiny is the governments in
oltl;t,, 60. n thnn, ,,n1ncc ~ die.
misses a horde of the useless officials
with which the Young Turks have
hedged the new regime.
The government is thus between
two dilemmas. The dismissal of the
supernumerary officials would be ac-
companied by the gravest consc-
quences, inasmuch as the civil gov
eminent is almost nonexistent
Virtual Anarchy.
The Young Turks are so fearful Of
too much government in the new
scheme of freedom that virtual an.
archy exists under their rule The
Liberals demand a strong centraliza.
ton and are consequently accused of
seeking a return of despotism.
The clash between the Young Turks
and the Liberals has brought shout a
reign of lawlessness and inter-racial
outbreaks that makes the present sit
uation the most alarming that has
confronted Turkey since the revolu-
ton.
If the uprising Of the troops sue
ceeds, a massacre is declared to be
imminent.
Liberals are believed to have insti-
tuted the outbreak by the argu-
ment that parliament violated the
| constitution in passing the Austro-
| Turkish agreement which accepted
| the cessation to Austria of Turkish
territory, though the vote by which
this was accomplished was not of the
| required two-thirds majority.
Minister Reported Fleeing.

Freight Train Wrecked

Santa Fe freight train No. 34, east bound, jumped the track near Davenport, seven miles east of Williams, about 5 o'clock Thurs day morning, derailing nine cars and tearing up considerable track. The wrecked cars were on the bed of the railroad, but the trucks were twisted and bent into all shapes. The wrecking crew was called from Winslow, and the work of clearing away the wreck was soon under way, but it was not until 4 o'clock in the evening the track was made passable for traffic.
 Trains 4 and s, east bound, both heavily loaded with excursionists bound for the City of Mexico from Los Angeles, were held here all day, while two sections of No. 7, loaded with excursionists bound for California, and No. 1. were tied up at Bellemont.
 No one was injured in the wreck.

Organize for Protection

A number of the business men of Williams met at the city hall last Monday evening for the purpose of forming an organization to be known as the Business Mems Pro- tective Association of Williams. Ed Hamilton was elected chairman and Ben F. Sweetwood secretary and treasurer, and these two gen. tlemen were empowered to appoint com mittees, that on finance being comprised of Jo Atwood, Patrick Grove and Wm. Satori. The ob- ject of the association is to safe guard the interests of it's members and present united front to any legislation inimical to the business in which members are engaged. The passage of the local option law and other legislation adverse to the saloon interests prompted the formation of the association. But business and professional men generally are eligible to membership and invited to join, the promoters of the movement asserting that the interests of each are so entertwined, :, that the injury of one concerns all. Another meeting will be held next Monday evening, when rules will be adopted and other details of the organization perfected.

STATEHOOD AGAIN DEFERRED

The hopes entertained for state hood by the people of Arizona have vanished like a dream of things that were. After years of weary waiting, and when the prize seemed to be within our grasp, the boon of statehood was refused because of the corruption that permeates the politics of New Mexico.
 There was no accusation what ever made against the federal off, cials of Arizona. Governor Kib- bey's administration has been with out blemish, and the same is true of the other territorial officials. While political contests in Arizona have at times been bitter, never, from its earliest history. has the charge been made that the territory was controlled by a machine or that its affairs were ever manipu- ulated in the interest of a ring. We have been singularly free from public scandal.
 The reason for the abandonment of consideration of the statehood bill was the receipt of telegrams by members of the committee on ter ritories from prominent citizens of New Mexico, refecting upon the character of the people in control of the politics of the territory; stat ing that 60 per cent of the voters were Mexicans and half of them illiterate. Charges were also made of land frauds and that some of the territorial officials were standing in with the grafters.
 The statehood matter will now lay over until the regular session of congress. next fall. It's hard lines, surely, that Arizona should be punished for the sins of New Mexico, but, under the circum- stances, there is nothing left for us to do but grin and bear it.

would place Winslow, the largest town in Navajo county, in Coco nino county. The Argus adds that it has not learned who the packers of the movement are or their rea- sons for desiring to be tackled onto Coconino county.
 THE NEWS hardly believes that the desire of residents of Winslow and vicinity for annexation to this county will be gratified, at least at this session of the legislature, but it shows excellent judgment on their part in wishing to become part of Coconino-the best county in the territory-and we do not believe that there would be any objection on the part of our people to taking the strip in question under our pro- tecting wing.

Woman Suffrage and Prohibition

"Just grant the women the right to vote at local option elections, and it sounds the death knell of the saloons in Arizona, to dead, moral certainty" said prominent business man of Williams, in dis cussing the woman suffrage bill that was introduced in the legisla- ture last week.
 THE NEWS does not agree with the author of the remarks above quoted. In the states of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho. where women are privileged to vote at all elections, prohibition has made but little headway. while in the south. ern states, where the ballot is ex. clusively in the hands of male voters, the saloon has, except ir some of the larger cities, been put almost completely out of business

speaketh to the wife of her neigh

Thou knowest that bear thee

of no consequence, yet feel / that

Saphira, the wife of Annanias-
hath said of thee that thou art
extravagant and wasteful of thy
husbands substance, that thou
dost not cook much food for thy
