YOUNG TURKS
FACE BIG GUNS
Old Regime in Control and
is Ruling With an Iron
Hand
HUNDRED KILLED OR
HURT DURING RI0TlNG
(By Bysantius Moschopoulous. Staff

(By Bysantius Moschopoulous, Staff
Correspondent of the United Press.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 14.-(By
mail to Philippopolis, Bulgaria, April
15)-The new ministry of Tewfik
Pasha, the grand vizier is today in
complete control Of the city and is run
ming things with an iron hand Machine
guns are in readiness TO suppress any
attempt at a counter-move instigated
by Young Turks or their sympathizers.
Discomfort over Tewfik Pasha's ap-
pointment has already cropped out,
however, and his tenure of office Is in
secure. Tewfik is not believed to be
strong enough to meet the present
needs of his position.
A rigid censorship on all kilograms
was re-established today, which neces-
STATED the sending of this message to
Philippopolis before it could be cabled.
Even the use of the mails is fraught
with danger, as the government Is fear
full Of plots beng effected through mail
communication between the Young
Turks leaders who have fed and their
sympathizers who remain in the city.
There are indications that the gov
ernment will re-establsh the old sys-
tenn of espionage. with its accompany
ing murders and crimes, in its desper-
ate efforts TO ferret out the enemies
of the new regime. The spy system
was abolished at the time the consti-
tuition was granted.
The casualties in Tuesdays uprising
are -ar heavier than heretofore re-
ported. Scores Of seriously wounded,
are being cared for in private houses,
and for this reason it is hard to get
an accurate estimate of their number.
1t is certain that fully hundred per-
sons. were killed or injured.
The revolt constitutes a triumph for
the priests and fanatical masses over
the educated upper classes, who were
chiefly responsible for the recent con-
stitutional victory The Moslem hordes
have considered the sweeping changes
OF last summer as a Christian victory
and now that Mohammedism has been
established there is immipent danger
of a religious warfare.
Gravest apprehension stl exists over
tine fate of the constitution. The cab
met at its first SESSION ssued a state
ment that the Constitution would be
adhered 10 both in spirit and letter,
but the people are far from being as
sured

When Tons of Sand En-
veIoped Workmen

One man was killed. another taken to
the hospital and third came near losing
his life as a result OF a cave-in OF earth
at Twenty-sixth and Market streets to-
day
The dead man Is Richard Anderson, col
ored. aged about 60 years, OF No il20
French street. He was smothered to death.
Nathaniel Butler. also colored, aged AZ
years, OF Ninth and woodlawn avenue.
was taken to the Delaware Hospital but
he Is not seriously hurt.
James Logue, Jr. son Of Contractor
James Logue. OF Twenty-seventh and Tat
nall streets had Z narrow escape from
meeting the same fate as Anderson.
The cavern occurred at sand pit. The
men were taking sand from a hole nine
feet deep when the bank oaved in upon
them.
Buried Under Sand.
Anderson saw the dirt when Il began 20
loosen and started to run to the other end
OF the hole. to get out, but he was too
late When about half way he was caught
by tons OF earth and completely buried.
Young Logue was at the upper end OF
the hole and Butler was near him. These
two were covered TO their armpits when
the FIRST slide occurred The next one CON-
pletely covered Logue.
Immediately following the cave-in. David
White. colored. employed at the sand pit
who had Just crawled out OF the hole. hur.
riedly summoned help and in few mo-
ments half dozen men we're In the hole
digging out the unfortunates.
Young Lokue could be heard talking un-
der the loose earth and the searcher'
quickly located him and had him safely
out Of the hole In a short time. Butler wal
also taken out about the same time.
Search For Anderson.
Just where Anderson fell the searcheri
we're unable TO tell and Il was probably 9
half hour before he was found. He wal
buried in the deepest part OF the excava
tion and several holes were dug before h'
was located.

THREE BURIED BY CAVE-IN,
ONE MAN LOSES HIS LIFE

While the searchers we're at work tha
Phoenix ambulances and DR.. oliver J.
Gray were summoned When the latter
arrived Anderson had been taken out of
the hole and upon examining him the
physician pronounced the man dead Both
ambulances arrived shortly afterward and
one Of them conveyed Butler to the hos
pitsi
AS Anderson was dead there was no use
for the other wagon and it returned to
Its quarters. Anderson's body was later
removed TO the morgue.
The dead man is survived by two chill
dren His wife died about year ago. He
had been In the employ Of Contractor
Loguo for several years.
Many Tons Of Earth Fell.
Il is estimated that between FIVE and
ten tons Of earth fell on the men. How
young Logue escaped is a mystery For
tunately by his presence OF mind. he lead
the scarchers to where he lay buried by
talking loudly. lie was also seen when
partly covered by the first slide and lit
tie difficulty was experienced in reaching
him.
Anderson was covered by at least fve
feet OF earth. He was smothered to death.
Contractor Logue was on the scene
shortly after the accident and was much
effected by the death OF Anderson. He
says he cannot understand how the bank
could have caved-in. His men have trouble
sometimes IN trying to MI the holes by
prying the banks with Instruments. He
says he has had many holes dug for sand
and this Is the first time an accident oc-
CURED.
Large Crowd Gathered.
A large crowd was attracted to the scene
OF the accident and Market street. at
Twenty-sixth was blocked with wagons
for several hours. A small boy appeared
on the top OF the bank which had caved
in and thrill went through the crowd
Get away from that bank" several
men shouted AT the same time, and the
boy, badly frightened ran as fast as his
legs could carry him away from the place.
Hundreds looked at Andersons body as
Il lay near the hole covered with several
coats OF fellow employees and then gazed
into the excavation and the three holes
mado by the men who searched for the
three buried men.

PARK AND POLICE
BOARDS TO MEET
Spirited Discussion in Park
Commission Over the Chief
Black Matter
Mr.. BELL WANTED 1T
UP TO ATTORNEY GENERAL

Incensed at the peculiar position in
which the park commissioners have been
placed by the failure Of the Police Com
missioners to act upon the report sub
mitted by the park board as to Chief
Blacks connection with the Surrick as
sault case, Park Commissioner Jerome =.
Bell at the park commissioners meeting
yesterday afternoon unsuccessfully moved
that committee be appointed to consult
with the Encouragement as to Chief
Blacks interest in the case. The motion
was lost by vote of . to 3.
After the motion of Mr.. Bell had
been lost the commission adopted
motion made by Samuel Bancroft, Jr.,
to the effect that the executive COM
mittee be instructed to confer with
the Police Commissioners about the
matter, and to report back in writing
to the Park Commissioners at their
next meeting. The discussion yester-
day was precipitated by the action of
the Police Commissioners in not taking
up charges against Chief Black in con-
nection with the Surrick case decently.
At that time the Chief said the reports
rejecting upon his official actions were
a ''lie," and that he was not guilty.
Park Commissioner Bell at the meet
ing yesterday afternoon brought up the
subject again by moving that a COM
mittee be appointed to make state
ment to Attorney General Gray con-
cerning the Surrick case and the al
legged activities of Chief Black in it..
Mr.. Bell exhibited a document which
he said he understood to be the ORR
ginal report of the Surrick case made
by Patrolman Ley to Chief Black
which report was said to have been
rejected and another later framed and
signed by Officer Ley. The original
report, it is understood, told of the
identification of SurriclS by the girl for
assaulting whom in the park Surrick
was later convicted and sentenced.
Second Mr.. Bells Motion.
Mr.. Bells motion was seconded by
Commissioner William G. MendinhalL
Commissioner Joseph L. Carpenter,
Jr., thought the Park Board had done
its duty, even If the Police Commis-
sion did not care to take up the mat
ter. Mr.. Bell then explained his posi-
tion at length. He said that Chief
Black had been a good officer, but
there we're reports going around lately
that demanded investigation. If they
were true the good of the service de-
manded that they should be looked
into, and if they were untrue they
should be inquired into in order that
Chief Black might be set right. Mr..
Bell said he had no personal reason
for his stand other than a sense of
Justice to the Park Board composed

NOTED ENGLISH HUNTER
JOINS THE PARTY

(By Warrington Dawson, STAFF Correspon-
dent Of the United Press, Aboard the
Steamer Admirably
ADEN, April 15-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, aboard the German steamer
Admiral. arrived here at 10 o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Roosevelt landed immedi-
ately after the steamer docked and re-
ceived an enthusiastic welcome.
At Mr. Roosevet's request the recep-
ton by the British authorities was wholly
unofficial in character. The whole town
had evidently been awaiting the ex-Presi-
dents coming and his drive through the
city was the occasion for a demonstration
OF such warmth as Is rarely seen in this
part OF the world.
Kermit Roosevelt. after brief stop in
the city. joined DR.. Mears and DR.. I.oring,
the Smithsonian Institute scientists. in a
bird hunting expedition. They recognized
the present stop as the only opportunity
they would have to secure Asiatic speci-
mems for the institste.
Colonel Roosevelt is greatly elated over
the promise given him by F. c. selous.
the famous English big game hunter, TO
join Mr.. Roosevelt, when he arrives at
Nairobi.
Selous is a passenger on the Admiral
and while It was expected that he would
be with the Roosevelt party during a part
Of the African hunt. his promise to do so
was not received until just before Alden
was reached.
Selous win remain with the party during
its stay in the Mai Rohi region. and II
Colonel Roosevelt's entreaties have the
desired effect, he may remain with the
hunting expedition indefinitely. selous Is
an Englishman who has spent most OF
his life in hunting big game in Africa.
and he and the Colonel were IN almost Con.
stant conversation during the trip through
the Red Sea.
For a man who has never been in
Africa, Mr.. Roosevelt knows more about
the country than any man / ever saw"
Selous declared. 1T is hard to imagine q
more enthusiastic sportsman and it viii
be a delight to hunt with such man."
The trip through the Red Sea was with
out incident though the historic associa-
tons greatly interested Mr.. Roosevelt. 4
spirit of the utmost good fellowship pre-
walls among the passengers and Mr..
Roosevelt is simply "one of the boys" as
much so as he ever was in his ranch days.
