LATIN LETTERS ARE REPLACED

A Municipal Order In Con StantinopIe Requires That All Business and Other Signs Shall Be In Turk iSh Characters

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 26. - The municipal decree went forth a few days ago that printing in Latin characters on shop windows and signs should disappear. The order has forthwith been obeycd. Constan- tinople. which used to display in its cosmopolitan character as many for eien signs as native, is now innocent of anything which the foreigner can read Whatever inconvenience it in wolves to a large important element, the result is a great improvement in the looks Of the streets of the Otto man capital From many a building have been erased. painted away or removed the blatant Latin letters crying the names of wares of the oc- cupants. The streets present most unwonted appearance of neatness and responsibility.
 No Turkish lettering had ever been so conspicuous to the view as the Latin lettering and Turkish even when written large, has a picturesque aspect which no western language can claim.
 Besides it's foreign element Con stantineple has a large population of Armenians, Greeks and Jews, few of whom read Turllish though they speak it. Most signs and notices are there fore given in at least two of these other necessary langua ges as well as in Turkish and some western lan- guages. Signs in Armenian, Greek and Hebrew are allowed to stay pro vided they are not SO displayed as to dominate the Turkish letters.

 William Olander, secretary of the Lake Scamen's Union, tonight said that many other ships on the Great Lakes were as dangerous as the Eastland be- cause of faulty construction. He said that the Eastland was not properly designeI and he charged that the Unit ed States inspectors under Captain Westcptt of Detroit. chief of the lake district. played into the hands of the ship owners at the expense of sailors and passengers.
 He said this was shown by he fact that thirty-one ships passed by inspec- tors had sunk on the Great Lakes since 1905 several of them taking all on board to death. This statement and others of similar nature caused the investigators to decide to look into the conditions of all vessels issuing from the Chicago harbor.

 course.
 The "deteckative' was brought to
 the attention of the police chiefly
 by admiring owners of automobiles
 which had been stolen and recovered
 through the ingenuity of the youthful
 ''deteckative.'S The foregoing state
 ment is not as awkwardly and care

 is certain that the machines were re-
 covered through him and in some quarters it is suspected that they
 had been stolen by him in order that
 he might indulge in the joy of finding them and restoring them to their owners.
 The first machine upon which
 Nowell practiced was that of Deputy Land Commissioner F.. J. Trippel. who is rapidly forming the habit of having his automobile stolen. 1t was taken the last time last Friday night and was found somewhere in the country by Nowell. He has traced two other machines to their lairs and he has impressed their owners that he possesses some urcanny pow CT of tracking automobiles.
 The police had noticed the inves- tigating disposition of Howell but probably would not have paid much attention to him but for the fact that he had confided to the grateful owners that he was detective.
