RELIGIOUS ZEAL OF ORTHODOX MOHAMMEDANS
 MAY SAVE THE SULTAN
Especial from United Press1

Sa1Onica, April Elf Sultan Abdul Hammid retains the throne, it will be due to the religious zeal of the Ortho- dox Mohammedans as much as to any other cause. The abdication of the Sultan is impossible under the Moslem faith. If his retirement becomes nec- sary it can be done only by his depo- mental incompetency. The more rad ical of the Young Turks see no bar in these provisions and are in favor of deposing Abdul but the Orthodox Mo hammedans, who are in the large ma jority, are now reported to be weaken- ing and seriously threatening the strength of the invading army.
 There is no question but that the Young Turks can carry the day but the Conservatives in their ranks pro- fess to see grave danger of future in ternationaI disorders and civil war if the religious tenetS of the Orthodox Mohammedans are assailed by the de- position of Abdul.
 The Sultan has been quick to take advantage of this new development and the soldiers to stand by the Moslem faith. That he is being partially sue cessful is shown by the fact that Grand Vizier Tewfik Pasha, War Minister Edhem Pasha and Maxim Pasha, lead CT of the troops in Constantinople, have recalled their resignations under the Sultan'S plea and are again in office. Hundreds of the Reactionaries in the capital fearing that the end of the old regime is at hand, are fleeing from Constantinople. Apprehension is felt regarding Mehemmid Effindi, the Sul-

Washington. April 21-Although the Daughters of the American Revolution to-day turned their attention to the subject of the conservation of Natural resources most of them were intent on the big fight for the office of presi- dent nt-generaI, which will be decided to- morrow.

Her election will be rat1- fled before the Congress tomorrow Mrs. Sternberg defeated the adminis- tration candidates by vote of two to one.
 Many of the state delegations held meetings last night and this morning and an attempt was made by the managers of Mrs. William Cummings Story and Mrs. Matthew T.

 Whether Mrs. Mclean. president general intended to slight Mrs. Story last night when she refused to allow the New York candidate to make her report as state regent of New York is the lievliest topic of gossip to-day

iStratford Health Officer De clares That No More Schools Will Be Closed Measles Are Prevalent.
Especial to the Farmer )

Stratford, April 21.-As much has been said about the outbreak of scar 1etS fever in Stratford, it is desirable to know the exact situation. At this time there are families in the Wash ington school district who are quar- antined by reason of their children having the fever. One family quar- antined in the center or high school district, and two in the Sedgwick dis trict
 In an interview with Dr. Lewis, the Health officer, this morning, he said: ! There have been no new cases report ed since Saturday; with one exception the little Anderson boy-all the cases
 have been light. The Washington school was closed as a matter of pre- caution, for a couple of weeks, as much as to allay the fears of the par ents as for any other purpose" .Dr. Lewis says the outbreak of scar let fever is not confined to Stratford, but there is a good deal in Milford, and
 considerable in Bridgeport The dan ger of contag1on arises from being ex- posed during the 'peeling" stage. It often happens the attack is so light parents do not know one oi their chil- to play with other children the disease is communicated. There is no inten- tion of closing the high or center school. or any other school in town
 It appears there nave been many
 cases of measles. This disease is re- garded by some as not requiring the attention of a physician. Dr. Lewis
 thinks it is quite probable slight cases of scarlet fever have been mistaken
 fer measles, and in this way the dis
 e. sse has been spread. As all the fam
 iI1es where scarlet fever has appeared
 have been quarantined. the Health of-
 ficer considers that the danger of an
 epidemic has passed and that very
 soon the disease will have been stamp
 ed out. The number of children who

 The executive mansion has been be- sieged with inquiries all day long as to the Governors condition but. as there has been no change, the physicians have issued no formal bulletins and the next one issued will either an nounce a change for the better or his death.

LIBRARY BILLS IN

CBy our Staff Corres.)

Hartford, April 21.-The bill to give the directors of the Bridgeport Public Library building the right of eminent domain was taken from the calendar, ir1 the Senate this morning, and pass ed without opposition This is the measure that Senator Thomas Arnold held up last week for examination. It does not appear that he found any thing to object to, as he made no re- mark when Senator Barnum of the committee on Interpretations moved the adoption of the report and the passage of the bill. Senator Barnum explain ed the provisions of the bill, which have already been given in these dis patches, and the vote was unanimous The bill will now go to the House. where it is also likely to be passed without opposition.
 In the House this morning the sec end measure in which the Bridgeport Public Library is interested, the bill to give the directors self perpetuating g powers, subject to confirmation by the Common Council, was starred for ac- tion on the calendar. but owing to the lengthy debate on the public utilities commission bill it was not reached and it goes over until tomorrow. There does not appear to be any opposition to the bill and it will probably go through.
