Bucknam Pasha is the first Christian
who ever had actual command of thg
Turkish navy. He won the sultan
favor by his honesty. 1t used to b.
the system, it is said, for English shp-
builders to get as much money as pos
sible for ships as nearly worthless a~
the sultan's officers would accept Tie
sultan paid in one instance S1G5O.OOO
and got in return an iron tub filleG
with junk, the whole worth perhaps
100000. OF the money that went oul
of the sultan's purse his own officers
got $1,2O0,000 and the contractors pock-
eted the modest sum of S450.0OO.
While bringing one of those new
vessels around from the Atlantic
Bucknam made a big hit with Mo
hammedans by neglecting to salute the
French flag in Algerian waters. The
Ottoman government had never recog-
nized the French occupation of Alge-
ria, and no Turkish ship had ever put
into Algiers since the occupation.
A breakdown in his machinery late
one evening off the Algerian coast
obliged Bucknam to take refuge in the
port of Algiers, which by careful tim
ing he entered just before daybreak.
Three times the French commander
sent out word that he was ready to
return the Turkish salute. Bucknam's
guns did NOT boom. The port COM
mander came to the conclusion that
the habitual worthlessness of Turkish
Warships extended to the guns of this
vessel.
But the AIohammedans came out in
small boats sy the thousands to see
and touch the ship of the one great
free power still ruled by Islam's great
caliph. They kissed the ship, they
crowded her decks, they filed TASKS
from the sacred water that washed
her sides, and they prayed. From far
away in the interior faithful Mussul-
mans made a three days pilgrimage
Nv camel back.

ington and registered at hotels as 'R
ID. Bucknam, Constantinople." That
Is the way Bucknam Pasha, vice ad-
miral of the Ottoman navy, aid-de-
camp and naval adviser to the sultan,
puts himself down when he gets
among his old friends. The admiral
is, or was, an American. He has had
a career of real adventure. Twenty
seven years ago he was cabin boy on
q schooner on the great lakes.
Ransford d. Bucknam was born in
Nova Scotia in 1869, but his parents
almost Immediately moved to Maine.
At the age of fourteen he felt the call
ef the sea and followed it to the great
lakes, where he became cabin boy on Il
schooner whose skipper was her owner.
The captain and his wife took liking
10 the youngster
At sixteen Bucknam went from New
York as quartermaster of IL schooner
bound for the Pacific. When the little
vessel reached Manila the captain and
the mates died of cholera, and as the
boy was the only person left on the
craft who had studied navigation he
went before a special examining board,
a
captain at seventeen and brought his
vessel home.
Then followed many years on many
scenes, including more experiences on
the great lakes.
Captured Sutan's Fancy.
Bucknam had not made many trips
across the Pacific before he was asked
by the Cramps of Philadelphia to be-
come their nautical expert. When the
battleship Maine made her trial runs
he was in command of her, and when
the Cramps finished the Turkish
cruiser Mediidia he was assigned to
deliver her and sent to Turkey with
three months contract to train her
crew
The Turkish navy had been joke,
at least since the battle of Navarino.
Somehow Abdul Hamid took a fancy
to the American sailor and asked him
how he would like a job as naval ad-
wiser to himself at a princely salary.
Bucknam asked for long enough leave
to come home and get married. After
a hurried trip to San Francisco he re
ported to the sultan on April 10, 1904.
He started to put things shipshape SO
far as he could. 1t was not long be
fore the sultan made him a pasha and
admiral and conferred on him the order
of Osmanlieh and gave him a medal
for distinguished service.
Report has it that Bucknam saved
the sultan's life when an attempt wa,
made to assassinate Abdul Hamid sev,
eral years ago. While the sultan wa,.
returning to the Yildiz kiosk from the
Hamidieh mosque a bomb thrown into
the imperial escort killed scores o.
men and horses, rent the ground
thereabouts and shook neighbornp
buildings. Bucknam Pasha stepped t
the side of the sultan's carriage and
shouted that he would lop off any hand
that dared stretch forth toward the
sultan. He walked. sword in hand. be
side the carriage all the way to the
palace. This act Abdul Hamid never
forgot.

awaiting a final reply from Mr. Wright.
Witness stated he did not consider 1t
plain grating when he wanted Mr..
Wright to divide the profit on the in
surance in question, and added that he
could have passed the bill for the New
ark concern and that the State would
have beer liable. Later Mr.. SAMSON
stated that he did not authorize Howell
to prepare the policy which it was
stated Howell had written by mistake.
Witness did not consider, however,
that Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Howell had secured the desired infor-
nation for him, SAMSON, that Wright,
the Trenton insurance writer, should
have stood the cost.
Witness denied that his criticisms
of Herman, the steward of the school,
had followed a desire on his part to
favor his friends in Newark by plac-
ing the contracts there. His policy
was for competitive bidding il order
to a W the State. SAMSON did not
think he laid himself open to suspicion
in saying that in the placing of con-
tracts he would remember his friends.

JERSEY WATER
DECISION SAID
To FAVOR STATE
Sent to War Department and
Will Soon Be An
nOunCed.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-1t was as
certained at Judge Advocate General
Crowder's office by the STAR CORE
%spondent yesterday that a decision on
the legal complications i'll the Staten
Island water matter has been reached
and submitted to Secretary of War
Stimson.
While General Crowder would make
no authoritative statement as to the
findings it can be safely stated that the
decision will be wholly favorable to the
State of New Jersey.
No statement could be obtained from
the secretary of war except to h eff
feet that he now has all the papers
and documents in the controversy be-
fore him and that as soon as he has
examined them carefully he will make
public his decision in the matter.
Mr.. Mccoy, who has championed New
jerseys claims increasingly. and others
who have been more or less interested
all feel quite confident that the forth
coming decision will be a victory for
those who are determined to conserve
the water of the State.
A recent statement by the New York
city water commissioner Una tnefe was
plenty of water on Staten Island, that
q supply from New Jersey would be
useless and recommending that the CON
tract by that city with the Hudson
Water Company be ended was called
to the attention of the secretary. 1t
amply confirmed the statements that
had been submitted that there was no
lack of water or Staten Island and that
the water company and its crafty at
torneys were playing" the government
as a card in their INSCRIPTIONS game of
greed to seeuPe control OF the sources
of water supply in New Jersey. With
the termination of both contracts, that
with the wal department and that
with the city of New York, the farce
of the Hudson Water Company re-
ceiverships will doubtless be ended.

G. B. Warren, president of the Mich
igan Sugar Refining Company, denied
that any general sugar tariff sched-
ules were discussed with Mr.. Taft. He
said MIR. Taft had discussed the Philip
pine sugar concessions and had solicit
ed his aid in allaying opposition to
free sugar from the Philippines.
Mr.. Warren was asked how he ac-
counted for a statement made to the
ways and al committee of the

that to be the fact at that time" said
Mr.. Warren. HE had no access to the
stock books of the company, and the
stock held in my name for Mr.. Have
meyer and his associates was not trans
ferred to the names of American COM
pany officials until. after Mr.. Hathaway
had made his statement"
