SOME FOOL TURKS WANT
ABDUL HAMID BACK AGAIN

Constantinople.-R the pre-
carious condition in which the Young
Turk regime is placed, the leaders of
the reform government are preparing
10 take strong repressive measures to
stamp out revolutionary plots through
out the empire.
Many members of the Isiahat revo-
lutionary committee are under arrest
and government agents are seeking
others known to have plotted murder
as well as insurrection. The reaction
aries are strongest in the northern
provinces and Albania is designate d
on the maps of the war department
with red ink to indicate that the Bal
kan provinces are hotbeds OF conspir-
acies against Hehmed V and that there
the strictest means must be taken to
stamp out revolt.
The Young Turks are temporarily
profiting by a division of their oppo-
nents. A great number of the older
reactionaries favor a return to the
throne of the decrepit Abdul Hamid.
The younger members of the revolu-
Jionary party favor the retention of
Mehmed, who they declare would be
satisfactory if surrounded by different
advisers.

ROUNDS OF PLEASURE
CLOSE IN (
IsIS

Paris.-Though Paris be threaten
ed with another flood and has not
had such a wet summer since 1866,
the season closes in a blaze of glory.
The Princess Murat has just given
an entertainment in the gardens of
her palace, which tor originality and
magnificence surpasses anything seen
in years. 1t almost seemed as though
this hostess had transferred the Olym-
pia and the Moulin Rogue to her
mansion.
In the salons the guests enjoyed the
celebrated Russian ballet, which
caused such a sensation all through
Europe, and which, believe, you will
have the pleasure of seeing in New
York next year A stage was erected
for these dancers just outside the ter
race with magnificent gardens and
park for a background. The fete cer-
tainly carried off the palm for or
iginality and splendor; and I do not
think any of other society ladies of
Paris will dispute my opinion.
The Countess de Tallyrand, former
ly Miss Cartes of New York, has also
given a splendid entertainment to
mark the closing of the season. of
which Prince Paul of Russia was the
guest of honor
The Countess Odin de Loubersac,
nee Miss Livermore of Boston, has re-
Gently given a ball in honor of the
Grand Duke George of Leuchtenberg;
and not to be outdone by these hos
tesses. the Princess d'Isenburg, who
was a Miss Mason before her mar
riage, the Countess Nostey, also an
American, wife of the Russian mill
tary attache; Mr.. and Mrs. Freder-
ick, all contributed brilliant social
functions to the dysng season. Mrs.
Frederick's dinner was in honor OF
the Duke of Sparta.
To Andre de Fouquieres and the
Marquise de Tallyrand-Perigord is the
distinction of having attended the
greatest number of social functions
in the season of 1919.
1t is to be regretted that Prince
Rodelin, the German ambassador, has
been recalled. He and his gracious
wife will be greatly missed next year
but it seems the latter, who is
Frenchwoman, mixed herself VI
some what too much in our politics

BABE BEAM BADLY
HURT IN RUNAWAY
THROWN FROM WAGON
AND LIGHTS ON HEAD
Well known Express Driver Victim
of Accidnt This Morning - New
Horse Proved Unmanageable-In-
jured Man VIII Recover.

Frank A. Beam, aged 10 years, and
known to everyone as Babe" was Sc
riously injured in a runaway accident
about o'clock this morning. The
extent of his injuries will probably
not be known before tomorrow.
Beam is in the employ of the Am
erican Express company and had
gone to the City livery stable to get
the horse and express wagon. "Old
George" the big sorrel horse which
has done duty for the Pacific and
Express companies at this place for
the past eight years, had been seized
with an attack of lockjaw which re-
suited in his death, Saturday night. A
new horse was therefore ordered, the
animal having arrived yesterday from
Portland.
Upon the arrival of Beam at the
stable the new animal was hitched
to the wagon and the driver started
down the incline to the street with his
rig. The horse had evidently never
been driven with an open bride for
when he saw the big covered wagon
coming behind him he started out
on the run. AS there was no brake
on the wagon the driver was unable
to check the speed of the frightened
steed. He managed, however, to keep
him in the street until Alta street
was reached when in making the turn
the wagon was capsized. Beam was
pitched to the street on his head,
while horse and wagon landed in a
heap.
Beam was rendered unconscious for
some time, but after being removed
to his home, 729 pohnson street, he
regained consciousness and at last re-
ports was resting easy.
The horse and harness escaped un-
