ADMITS KILLING TWO BOYS.
CHEMIST coNFEssEs MURDERS
TO BUFFALO POLICE.
Biames His Downfall to Drink-con-
fesses Writing Postcards That
Led to Finding Of Body.

Buffalo, New York-District At
torney Dudley announced that ].
Frank Hickey, the chemist, had con-
fessed to the murder Of Joseph 10
sephs, and also to the killing of Frank
Krucke. a New York newsboy, who
was found strangled in Central park
10 years ago.
Hickey began his story calmly and
deliberately, but when he came to the
part of actually committing TIE muir
ders he broke down and wept.
Drink, drink, that's what caused
my terrible downfall" the man ex-
claimed as his frame shook with sobs.
i've stood it as long as 1 could, but
I've got to confess. Oh, the hell my
life has been since that time, when
late in the afternoon of October IL,
lured that little Syrian lad to his
awful doom.
"Yes, l wrote the postcards. l
wrote them mostly when l was drunk.
/ drank to try and get away from my
remorse, and for a time it seemed
that l would forget it, but in these
spells I used to become conscience
stricken, though in a different man
ner, and write the cards telling of my
state of mind"

YOUNG" TURKS OUSTED
CABINET ABRoGATES coNSTiTU-
TIoN AS UNSATISFACTORY.
Maxim Pasha Always Had Opposed
New Observation-Disclosures
Gradually Weeded Out.

Constantinople.-The cabinet de-
cided to abrogate the Turkish consti-
tuition, declaring that after nearly
four years trial it has proved wholly
unsatisfactory.
In the general excitement over the
war, Constantinople did not seem to
realize at first that the governments
announcement amounted to nothing
less than another revolution.
Preparations for the step had been
made very carefully. For days past
the authorities have been quietly
gathering in the Young Turkish lead
ers and taking them to, places of con-
tinement on the Asiatic side of the
Bosphorus. Constituencies in high
aamy posts have been weeded out
gradually and men who were known
to believe popular government poorly
adapted to Turkish requirements put
in their places.
Nazim Pasha, the minister of war
and active commander of the army,
has always opposed the Young Turks.
Enver Bey, the ablest man in the
Young Turkish organization, has been
in Tripoli since soon after the out
break of the wal with Italy.
The coup evidently was the result
of long, careful planning. Everything
indicated that the Absolutists had
been awaiting their opportunity for
months. The war with the Balkan
allies furnished this opportunity.
The Young Turks were wonderfully
clever as co~nspirators, but none of
them have administrative ability. In
stead Of devoting themselves to the
business of real reform when they
gained control of the government,
they played politics.
They were theorists, and each had
a different theory of government
which he insisted on trying.
