Constantinople, Jan. 28:-The
Young Turks today voted unanimous

The attempt to mdIzle the press Of
America by "railroading" Col. W. R,
Nelson, publisher of the Kansas City
Star, to jail for an alleged contempt
of court, does not set favorably in the
minds of the people In this case the
American public has witnessed Just
one of various incidents which dis
plays the seemingly constant increas-
ing arrogance of pompous judicial
system which is seadily encroaching
upon American freedom of speech,

sity of a judicial recall" system more
forcibly than this effort to Jail one

AUSTRIA SENDS
AN ULT|MATUM
King Nicholas is Given One
Week to Comply.
THE WAR is NEARING AN END.
Powers Have Practically Agreed With
Austria That Montenegro Shall
Not Keep seutari Even II
She Takes 1t.

London.-The developments of last
week appear to make the conclusion Of
the Balkan War a matter of only a
few days. Turkey having no hopes of
obtaining more money, has entrusted
her interests to the good offices of the
powers. and the allies have accepted

provisions to which the allies will like
ly object. The demand for indemnity
is vetoed and the powers stipulate that
hostilities must cease when their pro
posais are accepted.
1t appears improbable, however, that
the allies will refuse to settle on the
terms now offered, The war has come
practically to deadlock. Fighting on
the Tchatalja Lines has been inde

Russia is not blocking the Austrian

that Montenegro shall not keep Scutar

that that city shall be incorporated IL

TlLDEN AND ROOSEVELT
CASES THAT ARE SYNONYMOUS
IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
Both Regularly Elected, and Both
Counted Out Because Opponents
Controlled the Machinery and
Bitterness Was Great.

To The Star: You refer In this
mornings paper to Tilden as having
been elected president of the United
States. How do you make this out3
Didn't the electoral commission decide
that Hayes was eletced?-T. P.
Yes, Just as the Republican national
committee last June decided that Taft
was the choice Of his party for the
presidential nomination. The electoral
machinery was in the hands Of the
Republican organization. 1t did TTr.
actly what the Republican national
committee did last June in deciding
contests. That is, 1t threw out enough
Tilden votes in Florida and Louisiana
to give Hayes a majority. The Repub-
lican national committee did the same
thing last June in order to give the
Washington and Texas delegations to
Taft.
Tilden's election was generally con-
ceded by the Republican managers at
the outset. The idea of claiming the
election of Hayes was second
thought. 1t worked simply because
Tildens enemies controlled the ma
chinery and the bitterness was so
great that men of reputation allowed
partisan considerations to overcome
morality.
Now that the old time bitterness has
faded, the procedure of the Republi-
can national committee at Chicago
will help people to understand how
Tilden could have been counted out
with the assent OF men of standing in
the community.-Kansas City Star.

Mr.. Roosevelt is right, and time viii
be his justification. Given a mislead-
ing name when 1t was first set forth
at Columbus year ago, his propa-
ganda has suffered hard handicap.
Some laymen and papers have OPP
posed 1t because they have misunder-
stood It. The eminent lawyers who
have sounded the wild alarm against
II are those members Of the profes-
sion who ceased soon after their
stpSart days r. look upon law as q
science, and became he uasrs gehfs
OF big business. The teachers Of law,
the deans OF law schools, the scholars
who are devoted to law as science
these understand what Mr.. Roosevelt
has in mind. approve 1t, and are work
ing ardently to bring 1t about. This
one issue, the right Of the people to
pass finally on statutes which are held
by the courts to be unconstitutional
this alone is enough to maintain the
solidarity Of the Progressives as a
party. The Democrats may adopt the
Progressive party's humanitarian pro-
gram; the Republican party may
change Its spots, cleanse its southern
stables, and beg the departing sister
to return; but this fundamental issue
of the peoples rule can safely be left
out of 8 doors overnight.-Collier's

Tariff Likely to Be All.

President Wilson is reported to
favor making the tariff bill the chief
subject of consideration at the special
session of congress in April Such a
recommendation is within his power.
but congress can do as 1t pleases. It
is not restricted like some state legis-
latures to the subjects mentioned in
the call of the executive.
But the chances are that tariff leg
islation, with some attention in the
house, perhaps, to currency and to
loose ends left from the last admins
tration. will absorb about all the en-
ergy that congress has. By the time
1t gets through with the tariff it will
be in such a stage of exhaustion that
the members will be glad to forget
Washington for few weeks-if they
can.

tlon that he sis in position to prove"
that Madero was shot to death and
that Vice-President Suareg was stranB-
led in the National Palace on the night
Of February 23, and their bodies taken
to the prison in an automobile.
"The reported assault by the guard"
said Alcade, was merely farcical
ruse and a part of the plot If the
automobile was fired upon the guards
were only pouring lead into the dead
bodies of the President and Vice-Presi-
dent, who we're murdered in the palace
hours before.
Colonel Alcade described himself as
an intimate friend Of Madero. HIS
mission in this country, he said, would
be to expose the plot which brought
about the Diaz uprising and the deaths
of Madero and Suarez.

Omaha, Neb. = According to the
latest and most reliable information
from the storm area in the Middle
West, 228 persons were killed and 720
injured, the area of devastation ex-
tending from Missouri to Michigan,
while the damage will run into mil
lions.
BY far the greatest damage was
done in and near Omaha, through part
of which tornado wind swept Sun
day evening, throwing down many
substantial buildings, ripping off roofs
and sidings of hundreds of houses and
killing men, women and children by
the score.
More than 200 persons were killed
and 400 injured in this city, the tor
nado also demolishing 450 homes,
damaging hundreds of other build
ings and causing a monetary loss of
S6,000,000, according to reports avail
able vn.to late hour tonight from
the main path of the tornado in and
near Omaha.
Stricken As Never Before.
Most of the casualties were in
Omaha, which was stricken as never
before. Nearby towns in Nebraska
and across the Missouri river in Iowa
also suffered severely. Wires we're
snapped off in all directions and 1t
took many hours to gather and circu-
late news of the disaster.
Fire broke out in the debris of many
wrecked buildings in the Nebraska
metropolis, and these were menaces
for some time, as the fire companies
were hindered by fallen walls and
blockaded streets. A heavy rain fol
lowed the wind, however, and drench-
ed the hundreds of homeless persons
but also put out the flames.
1852 Residents OF Omaha Dead.
OF the 2O2 known dead within the
area covered by the storm 1872 were
residents of Omaha. The remaining
dead are scattered over a consider
able range of territory, Council Bluffs
reporting 10; Yutan, Neb., 18; Ber
lin, Neb., Z; Glenwood, Iowa, 8; Nicola
Iowa, 2, and Bartlett Iowa 8. The
same cities and towns report an ag
gregate Of 400 injured and 450 homes
demolished.
Perhaps 1900 persons are homeless
Aside from this, 5000 buildings were
more or less damaged, many of thess
being churches and school buildings
Eight of omaha's public schools were
wrecked.
