REBELS OF TURKEY
FLAUNT RED FLAGS
IN FACE OF SULTAN
The "Sick Man Of the East"
Trembling for His Life,
Grants Every Demand Made
by BloodythirSty Soldiers.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April Icon
stantinople is quieter this morning after
the exciting occurrences of yesterday
and business gradually is being resum-
ed. A majority OF the garrison, how
ever, still occupy positions in 'front.' OF
the chamber of deputies and the war Of
flee, where they await the formation OF
a new cabinet.
The night, however, was one of alarm
The troops celebrated the overthrow OF
the Young Turks by firing continuous
rifle volleys. This alarmed the entire
city. The people were ignorant of the
cause of the firing and thought fight
was going on.
The sultan has granted practically all
the demands of the riotous troops, name
ly. the adoption of the Sherio laws as
the basis for new laws; the dismissal OF
the grand vizier, the ministers of war
and marine, and Ahmed Ria, president
of the chamber, the latter to be replaced
by Ismail Renal. provisional leader OF
the liberal union; the removal from Con-
stantinople of Hussien Jahid, chief edi-
tor of Tanin, and of Rahmi and Javid,
deputies from Salonika; the appointment
of Zohrab. an influential member of the
liberal union. to be vice president of the
chamber of deputies, and finally, the re-
moval of the officers of the Salonika bat
talions of the chasseurs.
The casualties resulting from the riot
ing of yesterday include Nezim Pasha'
minister of justice in the late cabinet
who was mistaken for Ria Pasha, minis
ter of marine, and killed: Ria Pasha'
minister of marine, who was wounded
and Sadik Pasha, who was killed There
also were several casualties among the

Caused No Surprise

The events of yesterday surprised no
body i'm Constantinople An upheaval was
expected as a result of the recent deVei-
opments and the increasing dictatorial
methods of the Committee of Union anu
Progress.
The incentive to the movement appears
TO have emanated from the recently form
ed Mohammedan league. The efforts of
this organization were aided by general
order from the commander of the First
army corps, insisting that the troops must
fire when so ordered by their officers,
even upon theological teachers and stu
dents when these individuals participated
I'm demonstrations.
The issuance of this order iniamed the
popular opinion, and the soldiers. under
the direction of the non-commissioned
officers, revolted. They seized and bound
their commissioned officers. and marched
to the mosque of st. Sophia, where they
voiced the demands that since have been
acceded to.
Notwithstanding the absence of the
commissioned officers. the troops observed
splendid discipline. The deputies arriving
at the house of parliament were salut>
ed by them, a fact that showed the move-
ment was not hostile to the constitution.
There was a certain amount of desultory
firing during the day, but it mostly Went
into the air.
The Official Cabinet
The cabinet as definitely constituted is
as follows:
Grand Vizier-Tewfik Pasha.
Minister OF War-Elhem Pasha.
Minister of Marine-Vice Admiral Adj
joemin Pasha.
Minister of the Interior-Adil Bey.
Minister of Justice-Hesan Fehmi
Pasha.
Minister of Finance-Nury Bey.
The otter posts are filled by the pre-
vi01s inCumbents.
The old Turkish conservative religious
element appears to have obtained the
upper nand for the present. the rule of
the Young Turks Committee of Union and
Progress has been upset and many mem
bers of this committee have disappeared
from the scene of strife.

Baptist Young Peoples Union.

At the Baptist church in this
city last Sunday afternoon a
Young Peoples Union was or
ganized. There was large at
tendance of the young people
who attended this church and the
starting of the union seems to
have been very enthusiastic.
Harry Lair was elected presi-
dent; Douglas Johnson, secre-
tary; Beulah Speakman, editor.
All the young people of the city
are especially invited to attend
these services and take part
should they so desire. The time
of meeting has been set for four

The PANHANDLE VS.. BLACK LAND.
Comparison IF conditions in the Panhandle
with the Black Land" Belt.

/ Is there any difference be-
tween conditions in the Pan
, hmdle and the other portions of
Texas. is d question often
asked especially by those who
have either visited or lived in
what is comonly known as the
black land belt, but have not
sited the Panhandle.
To such we would emphati-
cally say, yes! as much so as be
/ tween the high-priced and worn.
out land of the north and east
and the low-priced and rich land
of the Hereford country.
We have no inclination TO de
cry or belittle the black land
belt" Of this great state, as it
has its uses and is a valuable as.
set to the resources Of the state
and nation, yet il IS the las
place one should one go in
search Of virgin soil which is
cheap in price and productive Of
bounteOuS crops Of all kinds
known to the temperate zone.
Those portions Of this great
state known as the North, East.
Central and South Texas are as
denssly populated and the prices
of land are as high as in the
thickly settled portions of the
north and east, yet a farmer can
produce no greater amount of a
given crop on a given acreage in
those sections than could the
same farmer derive from the
same acreage planted to the
same crop on the land contiguous
to Hereford, Many of the far
mers of the aforesaid sections of
Texas are becoming aware Of
this fact and are disposing Of
their holdings in those parts and
locating in this or other portions
Of the Panhandle. In fact, it is
no eyaggeratiOn TO state that
We're the owners of Panhandle
lands willing to exchange such
for land in the black land belt
on a basis Of recognized value for
value there would not be an acre
of tillable land in the Panhandle
but what would have another
owner within twelve months
As a matter of fact, there is
hardly a resident Panhandle
land owner who would trade his
Panhandle land on a basis of acre
for acre for land in the black
land belt and be compelled to go
into that district To reside.
Among some of the advan-
tages that are obtained in the
Panhandle that are not generally
found in other portions OF Tex Is

ROBIN GRATTAN is handsome bay
stallion, with dark points, stands 10 hands
and weighs 1,225 pounds; foaled 1902.
Bred by Mcneil Bros, Bowen, ILL.,
During the past history of the light
harness turf, different families have, ~
different years, says the Horse Review,
made some remarkable shOwings it
remained for the Grattan family in 1905,
to eclipse everything of that nature in turf
annals. 1t was a "Grattan year. from
start to finish and when the returns were
all in there was Just one universal verdict:
that nothing like it had ever been heard of
before
Had Grattan's fame as sire to rest
upon 1905 alone it would secure him place
among the greatest of progenitors. But it
is of no such sudden, spasmodic growth.
1t was established years ago, and has ever
since been steadily growing, like the snow
ball of the adage - growing, growing,
growing until now it has assumed such
proportions as to dwarf that of all but
scattering two or three other living stall
