Young Turks Are Arresting
Opponents Right and Left.
ALL EUROPE is MUCH Al ARMED
The Powers Are Sending War
Vessels to the Scene.
Italy Is Especially Disturbed
by the Conditions.

London, JAN 25.-Constantinople is
practically in a state of siege accord
ing to dispatches received today by the
peace delegates of the allies.
The Young Turks fearing that the
reins of power may again escape from
their hands are said to be arresting
their political adversaries right and
left searching houses and clubs and
confiscating documents. They hope In
this way to break up the opposition.
The allies express the opinion that
under these circumstances any excess
may be expected.
With this prospect in view the
European powers are sending war ves-
sells to reinforce the ordinary guard
ships stationed at Constantinople.
Italy is especially alarmed over the
return to power of the Young Turks
who were inexorable during the Libyan
war. The U. S. ambassador at Con-
stantinople William Rockhill during
the negotiations for the conclusion of
peace between Italy and Turkey, de-
scribed Djavid Bey, now head of the
committee of union and progress as
an irreconcilab1e. Djavid Bey declared
that Turkey would fight in Tripoh as
long as she possessed a single soldler-
The position of the 5000 Italian resi-
dents of Turkey is now regarded as so
precarious that Italy has dispatched to
Constantinople two of her best cruisers,
the San Marco and Pisa, and the gun
boat Archimede, which is prepared to
land 500 blue jackets. At the same time
the admiralty has ordered the entire
Italian squadron now stationed in the
Grecian archipelago to hold itself in
readiness.
The remainder of the italian fleet is
at laramie within easy call.

Kansas Justice Makes Address to X. II.

the supreme court of Kansas, spoke to
the students of the University in chanel
on the Recall of Judges" Il ALWAYS

swer1ng the many inquiries as to nv
stand on the recall of judges said
Judge Mason, ''since there are so MANY
different ways in which the question
can be asked. In case L am asked if T

Judges, answer in the affirmative but
If asked if L believe in the recall of

L fully believe that this agitation
that has been on for some time con-
cerning the judiciary will continue and
will result in legislation both state and
national that will make it possible TO
remove unworthy or incompetent Judges
from the bench by a faster and reader
method than the present system of i'm
parchment. The final determination
of the matter lies somewhere between
two extremes, that of a slow process
of impeachment whereby it IS prac-
tically impossible to remove a jlld dge
and the remedy suggested by some
that of popular vote on judicial de-
cisions. I do not believe that the time
will ever come when the final decision
is essentially unfair and impractical A
Judge having made a judicial decision
that was more or less unpopular would

FRANK JApor'''S SPEECH

Ceremonies.
Told Good Story on Governor
Hodges at Prison.

Sitting by Governor Hodges" said
Frank farrell, who responded to a
toast at the Masonic banquet last
night, reminds me of the first time
saw the governor. He was only
state senator then. He was called to
Leavenworth to inspect the peniten-
tiary, and 1 had to go down and write
it up-met the governor for the first
time. The warden, by way of giving
a special treat to the prisoners had
collected seven or eight hundred of
them in the assembly hall, and, in an
offhand way, requested the senator to
address them. Mr.. Hodges wasn't as
proficient in politics then as he is now.
He was plainly somewhat embarrass-
ed, and hesitated a minute. My fell
low citizens he began. That didn't
sound right, and he commenced again.
My fellow convicts-.' By that time
the prisoners were smiling. Mr..
Hodges dropped his formal manner,
and smiled, too. Well, don't know
exactly how to address you, boys he
amended, but I'm mighty glad to see
SO many of you here"

winter reunion of the Scottish Rite
bodies of the valley of Topeka, was
attended by about three hundred
members, and was a success in every

young man favored it-but he hadn't

He Gives Injection Which In
stantIy Kills Sufferer.
BANKER BURNS TO DEATH
Relief Refused Him Because OF
Chance to Live.
Dead When ReScuerS at Last
Released Him.

Mckinney, Tex, Jan. 25.-It be-
came known today that a physician
working with the rescuers among the
burning wreckage of the Mississippi
dry good store ended the life of a
young man who was pinioned and
burning Another man, an aged
banker, begged for a similar release
from agony, but it was denied him.
Fifty men were working in fren-
" of effort to release E. n. Presley,
a clerk, who was found caught be-
tween two timbers that could not be
was the physician.
Somebody shoot me-, the sufferer
was begging repeatedly.
His feet barred of shoes by the fire,
We're naked among the Goals. Pres
ley caught sight of the physician, who
came close to his side.
Cant you do anything, doctor!"
pleaded Presley.
There is nothing 1 can do" said
the physician.
Then can't you, can't you do some
thing-to end it?'
You know I can't do that" the
doctor said. Don't ask that, man. "
The young man shrieked his agony
The physician grew pale.
Injection Ends Pain.
Perhaps this hypodermic-' he
began. And he applied the needle.
The injection was so strong that Pres
ley died a moment later in a convul-
sion.
In another part CT the wrecllage
was Leslie Bush, a banker, 81 years
old. He, too, was pinioned and beg
ging for death. But there seemed
chance in a thousand to rescue him
alive. His means grew fainter as the
rescuers worked. Finally they got
him out. He was dead.
In the closed banks and schools
and business houses and in the hushed
streets, such stories were being told
today. Surviving employees of the
dry goods firm were telling of the
building-hOw badly decayed and
shaky it had become, how they had
all been expecting a collapse, hoping
to be outside when it came.
Some persons were condemning the
surgeon who helped the dying clerk.
Others were praising him. He him
self was alone, not caring to talk.
The city is preparing for funerals.
