TURKEY TO ABOLISH
AMERICAN SCHOOLS
Old Established Institutions Will
Fall Under New Rule of Otto
man Empire.

NEW YORK. Sept 1.-THE report
from Rome that Turkey will abolish
American and other foreign schools.
beginning on the first of next month.
has created a sensation here.
There are 50O American schools in
Turkey, most of which are connected
with missions of various churches in
Constantinoplc. Syria, and other parts Of
the Ottoman empire Most of these in
stitutions were established under the
terms of the "capitulations," or special
privileges. English and French are
taught. and instruction given in the
elementary branches.
The two most important of the schools
are the Robert College. at CONSTANT
nople. and the Syrian Protestant School,
or American College, in Beirut Both
are independent of any missionary So
cicty. and intended to give higher
education than furnished at the mis-
sionary schools.
Many Turks who have afterward held
high positions in the country have been
students at these schools.
Robert College was establihed in 1853.
and has we'll equipped buildings near
Bebek, on the Bosporus. The Beirut
college was founded in 1866.
Under the old Turkish regime there
were a number of American schools In
Macedonia The most important of
these was the school at Monastir for
girls. which was for many Years under
presidency of Mr.. Clark, of Boston.

among children under years OF age,
and prevent great many. deaths
among adults from consumption.
This is the message of Nathan
Straus, the New York philanthropist,
who has established model milk sup
ply stations in New York and other
American cities, TO the people of
Georgia.
Mr.. Straus and Mrs. Strdus are at
the Georgian Terrace for visit with
friends in the South and to benefit
the health of Mrs. Straus. They ex-
pect to remain here about a week.
when they will go to New orleans
meet General Nelson A. Miles ana
proceed to California
Mr. Straus said he might extend
his stay in Atlanta. Later in the
week he expects to visit at Talbotton,
Ga, where he resided when boy.
Gives Advice From His Heart.
Il want the people of the South to
take what / have said about their
Hillh anu NdtVi supply " i1e'i - =
want them to profit by it," continued
Mr. Straus TOO much emphasis can
not be laid upon it. and if they will
follow my advice they will prof!
greatly.
Il have spent % years in purifying
the milk supply of New York Phila-
delphia and other cities in this coun-
try. / have seen the great results of
that publication and | know what
am talking about.
IF the Government OF this country
would spend just half as much in
purifying it's milk and other food
supplies. thereby preventing infant
mortality and adult mortality from
consumption, az It spends in building
an army and navy with which to kill
men, it could stamp out 95 per cent Of
these deaths.
Urges Diversifcation.
There is another thinr | want to
say to the people OF the South. They
should get away from the idea Of
raising nothing but cotton. They
should raise everything they possibly
cen-corn, wheat, vegetables. They
should give more time to stock-rais-
ing and the raising of pigs.
"As it is. they know little besides
their cotton, and that is not well for
their pocketboolts. II they raised
other farm products that they now
buy from other sections Of the coun-
try il would save them mueh money

RAILROAD
ATTACKS .
JUDGE
General MeIdrim and Accused
Jurist Nearly Clash as For
mer Testi6es. Il

SAVANNAH, Jan. 27.-Charg-
ing that Judge Emory Speer, by
his famous midnight order
wrecked the old Central Of Geor-
gia Railroad and Banking Com
pany, Col. A. r. Lawton, Vice
President Of the Central of Geor-
gia Railroad, to-day added to the
long list of accusations that have
been heaped on the Federal jurist
since the special Congressional
Committee last week began the
investigation into the judges
record on the bench of the Unit
ed States Court for the Southern
District of Georgia.
Colonel Lawton was closely
questioned by Representative F1tz-
henry as to the bankruptcy proceed
ings against the railroad and banking
company Instituted in March, 1892
He said the par value of it's total
stock then was $7.5Oo.0OO and it's mar
ket value better than sS.250,OOO. The
Central Of Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company, acting as a. hold
ing corporation controlling a number
Of subsidiary railroad lines, he said,
had been paying dividends for a num-
Der Of years, when. without notice,
Judge Speer appointed e. II. Alexan-
der, then president of the company,
as temporary receiver, and ten days
later, on March IA. 1892, made the re-
ownership permanent.
Destroyed Roads Credit.
The receivership was ordered by
Judge Speer, said Colonei Lawton.
because control of the property had
been acquired by New York syndi-
cate that was operating it to the ad-
vantage of the Richmond Terminal
Company which controlled the Rich
mond and Danvllle Railroad. Judge
Speer, he said, held that this control
was in violation Of the competitors
clause Of the Georgia Constitution:
that the directors were managing the
property in the interest of the Rich
mond Terminal Company instead of
the stockholders Of the Central of
Georgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany. The naming of the receiver
and the expenditure of the companys
funds under Judge Speer's orders,
Colonel IIawton declared, absolutely
destroyed the credit of the company
and wiped out the savings that per-
sons Of small means had put into
stock of the railroad
Colonel Lawton was followed to
the stand by General Peter w. Mel
drim, one of the most celebrated of
Southern attorneys, playmate during
boyhood and classmate at college with
Judge Speer.
Meldrim and Speer Clash.
General Meldrim picturesquely re-
lated an incident in the Greene and
Gaynor case when he said Judge
Speer insulted him, which brought
about the estrangement and since
that time they had not spoken.
During this narrative Judge Speer
made an lmpassioned plea to the
Congressional committee to protect
him from such attacks and General
Meldrim started from his chair to-
ward the seat occupied by Judge
Speer Chairman Webb had to
