Naziml Pasha's Death.

Constantnople, Jan. 24.-Nazim Pasha, the commander of the Turkish army, received his death wound while expostulating with crowd of demon strators for having become embroiled in conflict at the grand vizierate. The official version of the affray, which is termed 8 "regretable incl dent,r was issued tonight.
 When the demonstrators, it says, headed by Enver Bey, one of the leaders of the Young Turk party pene- trated the grand vMierate in an aJ- tempt to enter the council chamber, they were stopped by Fafiz Bey aide de camp to the grand vizier who, drawing his revolver, fired shot at them The aide de camp of Maxim rasha also fired at the crowd, his bullet striking Mehmed Nedjif, one Of the demonstrators. The demonstra- tors thereupon replied and Nazim's aide de camp was instantly killed.
 Nazim Pasha. who was i'll the coun. oil chamber, heard the shots and rushed outside. Facing the demon strators, he upbraided them. calling them ill-mannered CUTS While he was speaking, a buiiet cut short his remarks and he fell dead.

 At one time when Fox was ushe~ ed into the room and saw Miller, play, it was reported to him thai the big wealthy snowman" was something like $11,000 winner. but that such sum was not unusual for him to be winner or loser, so large was his play
 Fox and his counsel, John Hickey leave today for Terre Haute and In dianapolis, and will be gone abou, two weeks. There was a report that they were going elsewhere than to Indiana, and for the purpose of being prepared to identify some men who were about to be arrested, but this report was denied. It probably would not have been acquiesced in had it been true, as it would spoil the plans.
 Attorney Hickey, speaking for both himself and Fox, said that they were pleased with what they had accom- plished, and that they would be back just as soon as possible and remain then until the cases were disposed or T rather like to visit here" said Attorney Hickey, "and for my part you may say that I am to spend all the time here l can like the re- sort fine, and would be glad to visit here even if had no particular busi- ness mission"

DEMOCRATS NOW CONTROL SENATE
TENNESSEE ELECTION GIVES BALANCE OF POWER TO DEM
 ocRATlc PARTY.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Democratic control of the next senate. which be- came a certainty when John K. Shields was elected by the Tennessee Legislature Thursday. now rests at the minimum strength of AS, exactly one half of the membership of the senate. Democratic leaders disap. pointed in the recent loss of Senator GardneTs seat in Maine, now are hopefully watching Illinois, New Ham 3shire. West Virginia and Wy oming in the belief that democratic senator may be added to the lists from some one oT these states.
 The control of the senate, if no further democratic additions are made, will be so narrow as to make action on many contested problems, and on tariff legislation matter of constant doubt. With Vice President Marshall's vote to rely upon in the case of tie, the democrats will have control of the senate organization, and of general senate affairs. It is recognized however, that on many matters of general legislation divis- ions within the party may reduce the democratic majority to the vanish ing point.
 The fight against Senator Warren in Wyoming, the contest to upset Senator Falls recollection in New Mexico, and the effort to make some arrangement that will give the demo crats at least one of the two places to be filled in Illinois, are now hold7 ing attention of the party leaders Democratic control after March 4 will be strengthened by the division within republican ranks and the pres. ence of at least two progressives, Senators Clapp and Poindexter. on the republican side of the chamber.

POWERS BLAMED FOR
 MURDER OF PASHA
REPRESENTATIVES, OF TURKEY ARE BITTER OVER THE CIV
 ING UP OF ADRiANOPLE.

London, Jan. 24.--"The blood oi Nazim Pasha' said the leader of the Turkish peace delegation here today lis on the heads of the European powers. Their unfair and precipitate attempt to force Turkey into the sur render of Adrianople has born its evitable fruit"
 The Turkish plenipotentiary said events of yesterday were to be ex' pected by any one who knows Tur. key
 The Ottoman spokesman pointed out that only two of the European ambassadors i'll London, know through experience, what Turkey really is. These are Paul Cambon French ambassador and Marquis Di Francavila, Italian ambassador Both of these, according to the Turks, tried to dissuade their col leagues from driving the Turks to ex- tremities. The Italian ambassador used this expression: If we force Turkey to give up Adrianople and her Aegean islands the Turks will turn into wild animals"
 Osman Nizami Pasha declared:
 Not both the allies and the pow CTS have had taste of what Turkey Is capable of doing, of what resist ance she is able to offer and what sacrifices she is ready to endure Nothing is more dangerous than Q wounded lion."

ROOSEVELT WANTS 4
 MINIMUM WAGE BILL
LETTER CAUSES STIR AMONG STRIKING GARMENT WORK
 FRS IN EASTERN STATES.

New York, Jan 24--Coincident with an authoritative assurance that every effort is being made to end the garment workers strike tomorrow night, sending l50,000 men and wom- en back to work Monday. Theodore Roosevelt today made public letter n which he announces that the leg lslative committee of the Progressive party will present to the state legis- lature bills aimed to create minimum wage boards in the garment trades. Col Roosevelt's letter was written to Michael Sharp, a Progressive as semblyman
 A promise of such boards Is fea- ture of the protocol agreed upon re- gently between waist and dress opera 'i~~- and their employers under which thousands of strikers resumed work. Today hundreds more of independent operatives announced their intention ot accepting it's terms tomorrow.
 Besides approving the protocol, Col Roosevelt urges a state legislative inquiry into labor conditions in the several garment trades as a means of bringing about necessary legislation. His letter describes the labor situa- ton as he found it during his tour ot the garment making districts this week. The colonel takes issue with certain manufacturers who object to the protocol and declares for "the right of collective bargaining" or unionsm for operatives.
 The assurance that the general strike bids fair to be determined this week was given by Thomas A Rick ert of Chicago. president of the United Male Garment Workers of America. He said that representatives of the interests involved have agreed on plans of arbitrating general differen- ces and "the only question with the union is what they can get in the way of an immediate concession in order to induce the strikers to return to their work. This We hope to reach tomorrow night"

PRESIDENT TAFT
 GRANTS PARDONS
DEPENDENCY OF WIFE, CHILD AND BLIND MOTHER GETS
 MEMPHIS MAN PARDON.

Washington, Jan. 24-Varied ap- peals for mercy for federal prison CTS ranging from the call of depend ent families for support to the hero Ism of convicts, excited the sympathy or President Taft who today granted two pardons and five communications Of sentences. He restored the civil rights of six ex-convicts and denied clemency to nine prisoners.
 The dependency for support of a wife, child and aged blind mother moved the president to commute to 10 months in the penitentiary the heavy sentences of Ferd Keller. 2l. convicted at Memphis of two viola tlons of the oleomargarine laws. Under this modification of his two sentences totaling eight and a half years imprisonment. he will be re- leased about February 2. Fines az gregating $6,300 and costs are remit ted by the president

 Much regret is felt over the shoot ing of Maxim Pasha.
 All the old ministers were set at liberty today and permitted to re- turn to their homes.
 Fafiz, the aide de camp of the for mer grand vizieT, who fired the first shot in yesterdays affray, was a companion of Maj. Tahar, who start cd the mutiny at Monastir last sum- mer, which led to the resignation of the cabinet of Said Pasha. Views held in ofilcial circles with regard to the situation between Tur- key and the Balkan allies may be set forth as follows
 The Turkish government does not desire a resumption of hostilities but the European powers are even less anxious to witness a renewal of the war, owing to the danger of possible complications in Europe. Turkey realizes her condition of financial penury, but this condition Is chronic to her and means always can -e found for keeping afloat.
 On the other hand, from a military standpoint, Turkey is in a better con dition than ever to wage war with advantage, especially as the govern ment believes the forces of the allies are near the point of exhaustion. nevertheless, the porte would prefer to avoid further bloodshed, if this is honorably possible and the possessi on of Adrianople by the allies is not in sisted on.
 Official circles are confident that no coercive measures by the powers need be apprehended or threats of isolated action by Russia taken very seriously owing to the possibility oi such action bringing about European complications. Under these circum- stances it is felt here that the allies may come to realize that Adrianonle is not indispensable to their well-be- ing, and especially when they observe that it is the determination of the entire nation to fight rather than 70 surrender the holy city.

STRIKE SHORT LIVED.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-One hundred garment workers were out on strike for two hours in Chicago today. The timely arrival of a telegram frors New York saying peace was in sight, probably prevented 10000 other work CTS from joining the strikers and sent the 100 back to work.
 It was in five west side shops where the garment workers found New York work on their tables that the walk-out occurred. When the clothing was discovered the men left, basing their action on an order given the locals that they might strike when they felt justified.

INDICATIONS ARE THAT MISSES. SlPPI WILL REACH STAGE OF
 FORTY FEET AT MEMPHIS
TRAINS RUN THROUGH WATER
People Living Back of the Levees Are Moving to Higher Ground-New Madrid, Mo-, and West Hick-
 man, Ky, Are Flooded.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 24--Officials of the St. Francis leyee board and oi the United States engineers office here, whose jurisdiction extends along the Mississippi river from New Madrid, Mo, to the mouth Of the White river, south of Helena, Ak, expressed the opinion today that the predicted forty-foot stage at Mem phis would not seriously effect the levees in this district and that even a fortytwo foot stage would cause but little concern. As a precaution- ary measure, however, patrols were established along the river banks to. day.
 Predictions that the river here will reach forty feet were made by the United States weather bureau to- day. Previous estimates were that the maximum would not exceed 53 feet, but continued rains over che upper valleys caused revised predic- ton. The crest is expected to pass here within week.
 At ' o'clock tonight the stage was 37.3.
 Practically all unprotected low lands, which include more than fifty thousand acres of table land is now under water.
 At Big Lake in southeastern Mis- souri, the water is running through a four hundred foot gap in the leve' which was left open after a sewer had been constructed and flooding the lowlands. South of Birds Point, op- posite Cairo, the trains of one rail. road are being run through water.
 A portion of New Madrid, Mo, is reported inundated and the greater part of West Hickman, Ky, Is flood. ed. At Paducah back water" is spreading over the lower section oI the town. One public school has been temporarily closed and street ear traffic is impeded.
 It was reported today that several negroes had been drowned near Big Lake, but this report had not been confirmed tonight. Practically all of those who made their homes outside the levees have moved to higher ground.
