 MAY TAKE HOLD

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l

ONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 23.A crisis in the Turks affairs came today with dramatic suddenness. Grand Vizier Kamil Pasha and the Ottoman cabinet resigned and Mahmoud Schefket Pa sha, formerly minister of war and com mander of the constitutional army, which enthroned Manned V., as Sul- tan, was appointed grand vizier.
 Yesterday the grand council pro- nOunced in favor of peace, at almost any price. Today a vast crowd drawn from all classes declared in favor of war. rather than peace without Adri- anople And because the crowd was backed by the general public opinion, the government surrendered and re- linquished office, making way for the same men whom popular movement brought to the top after the revolution in 1908 and 1909
 The council of ministers met shortly before noon and gave final shape to it's note accepting the proposals of the powers About o'clock people from all quarters began to gather at the front gate of the grand vizierate. En- yer Bey. one of the leaders of the young Turks. who is identified with the campaign in Trpoli and Nadje Bey a prominent unionist, arrived about this time and were deputed to inform the cabinet that it must retire. Enver Bey soon issued from the vizierate and announced he held the resignation Ot Kiamil Pasha, which he was taking to the palece This was greeted with tremendous cheering which was franti- cally renewed an hour and d half later when he returned from the palace with an edict appointing Mahmoud Shefket Pasha. grand vizier.
 While awaiting the return of Envel Bey, the enthusiasm of the crowd was kept at fever pitch by speeches and waving of banners. In the meantime Talaat Bey assumed provisiOnalFy the portfolio of the ministry of the interior and Izzet Pasha, that of war.
 In an interview with Talaat Bey he said the movement had not been plan ned. but was the out come of the popu- lar feeling, owing to the attitude of the government with regard to Adrianople If AdrianOple is abandoned, it is saiC disturbance will break out over the length and breadth of the empire.

"TwO Old COnfederates'-I.

When those 1.-TWO Old Confeder-
ates," Col. Tom Booker and Capt
Tony Miller, assisted by Polk
Miller's Old South Quartette OF
genuine Virginia negroes, come to
the Opera House on September 16, the
people of this town will have an op-
portunity to hear one of the most de-
lightful and unique entertainments
e-er presented on any stage.
There is no other combination OF
entertainers in the world like this
Col. Booker and Capt. Miller are both
old time Virginia gentlemen who
served under General Robert E. Lee
When they surrendered with him al
Appomattox Court House, they laid
down their muskets and went back
home to find their old plantations
stripped of everything in the way ot
worldly possessions, but they went
to work like real men to make the
best possible use of the limited op-
portunities before them, and they
have succeeded.
These two old heroes have started
out on their present campaign with
banjos under their arms instead OF
muskets on their shoulders, and they
are capturing everybody they meet
They tell some very humorous stor'
les of the old times in the south, play
the "Old Virginia Reel' and the
"Arkansaw Traveller" in way thai
makes it hard for those in the audi
ence to keep their feet still, and wheI
they turn loose that quartette o1
earthquakes, those four Virginia
negroes, who, as one critic has said
look like farm hands, and sing like
Carusos,' in such songs as "Old Dar
Tucker" "Shoutin Moaners," "The
'Huckelberry Picnic," to say nothing
of Dear Old Dixie it fairly thrills
the blood.
Every old Confederate or Unior
soldier within miles of this town will
be on hand for this entertainment
You could not keep them away
School children will be on hand In
abundance, for this entertainment
appeals to both young and old. Those
who fail to attend will miss a never
to-be-forgotten treat.
Reserved seats are on sale at 35 and
so cents.

FRED III. KNAPP'S NEW ROTARY
HUSkER.
Was Demonstrated Here Wednesday
Does Work of over % Men
Knapp Husker Company Be-
ing Organized,

A number of prominent men inter-
ested in the cannery business and
otherwise witnessed the work of the
Knapp Rotary Husker at the Knapp
plant Wednesday afternoon.
The machine which will revolution
ize the husking of green corn is now
installed i'm the Smith -Yingling Can
merry for actual work.
Quantities of green corn rush
through the machine with great rapid
ity and series of rapidly revolving
rubber rollers slip the husks and
corn silk off the ear so rapidly that
the action is almost impossible to fol-
low with the eye.
1t is estimated that the machine will
do the work of 25 or 80 hand huskers
and no human hands touch the corn
during the husking operation.
A new corporation, known as the
Knapp Husker Company, is being Or
ganiZed under the laws of this State
with a capital stock of $150,000 divid-
ed into $4,000 preferred and 100000
common stock. The preferred stock
is to pay seven per cent accumulative
dividend and participate with the
common stock up to ten per cent.
AS the Knapp labelling and boxing
machines are used all over the world
and because of the fact that Mr.
Knapp is we'll known to the Gamers
everywhere it is predicted that the
demand for the husking machines
will be very great.
Those who witnessed the working
of the machine expressed themselves
as highly surprised at it's great speed
and efficiency as the husks were peel
ed off SO rapidly that the eye could
scarcely follow the motion.
| The machines will be leased out on
royalty basis, yielding continuous
profit instead of being sold outright.
There are several remarkable features
about the husker from a business
point of view. The great cost of for
eign patents, which most machinery
concerns are forced to take out, is
eliminated, as corn is indigenous
chiefly to the United States and Can
ada Great saving is also made by
the fact that all machines will be
made of the same size for cannery
use Thus the cost of special pat
terms, castings, parts, supplies, draw
| ings and engineering features is re-
! duced to a minimum.
! This, the most recent addition to
the industries of Westminster is by
many regarded as one of the most i'm
portant because of the fact that corn
is one of the greatest commodities
and labor is getting more and more
scarce every year.
From an inventors point of view
the company will prove highly attrac-
tive inasmuch as the preferred stock
will have to pay an accumulated divi-
dend of seven per cent before the
common stock receives anything. On
; ly twenty-five hundred shares at the
par value of ten dollars each will be
disposed of at this time.
Outside interests were represented
at the demonstration of the machine
but Mr. Knapp has decided to invite
the people of Westminster and Carroll
county to have the first choice. A
bonus of common stock will be given
to those who subscribe early. This
bonus will not be offered to any one
subscribing for stock after a certain
date, which will be determined at the
| first directors meeting.
