TURKEYS RULER A SICK MAN
Sultan Must Feel surdens of His High
Office Press Heavily Upon His
Shoulders.

The sultan OF Turkey, Mohammed
v, the head OF Islam and the thirty
sixth, ruler of the house of Osman, Is
sick. Once such report would bring
UP visions Of royal relatives mysteri-
ously poisoned, bowstrung or dropped,
bound and sacked, into the dark wa
ters Of the Bosporus, and OF fortune
tellers, wizards and exorcisers crowd
ing around the ailing sovereign's bed.
side. Now the people talk OF prospec-
tive heirs and Of regents, while the
sultan's Christian ally commends him
to Allah and sends his ablest physi-
clan.
When the young Turks lifted Ras-
child Efendi upon the throne from
which they had showed his brother,
Abdul Hamid, they dragged a man Of
sixty-tiye from palace where he had
been all his life scarcely more than q
prisoner. In years of inactivity his
body had grown big, big in width
breadth and length, burden for his
short legs. He was sick man then
On the Selaflik Fridays the chalky
paleness OF his heavy face and the
duliness OF his eyes were accumulated
by the troors Of young guardsmen in
brilliant uniforms and the officers in
glittering gold braid who surrounded
him. The picture had in it more Of
pathOs than imperialism
When he went to appeal to the 10y
atty OF the Albanians on the field Of
Kassovo, Macedonia, he was the first
Ottoman sovereign to visit his prov
ihces on mission Of peace. But the
Albanians, who had imagined the sui
tan had wings and few Of humanity's
frailties, were disappointed at the
sight OF the heavy, feeble man in a
black frock coat, and the mission
failed. He seemed to lack either the
knowledge or the physical force to
combat the shrewd politicians around
him, and he became merely a figure
head for the dominant party Of the
committee of union and progress.
Many things may happen with the
passing Of this sick man. He may be
the last Of the Osmanli to rule in Eu
rope; he may be the last to bear the
honors and title Of the caliphate But
he has been a part Of the almost for
lorn hope to restore the glories Of the
empire, and has lived to see q Turkish
army with munitions Of war and sup
plies making desperate and so far
successful attempt to hold the almost
sacred Dardanelless against great en-
,my.-New York Sun.

LAST APPEAL IS
MADE IN BEHALF Of
CHARLES BECKER
lry poumra JOURNAL srtelAl ls.sso wlnsl


New York. June 10.--The last APP
peal to the courts Of Kew York for the
life Of Charles Becker sentenced to
die in Sing Sing prison during the
week Of July ! 2, for the murder of
Herman Rosenthal. the gambler, was
made today when his counsel, Martin
#. Manton, forwarded to the court Of
appeals at Albany a brief on a motion
Tor the reargument of the case, A
copy was filed in the district attor
ney's office here.
The court Mr.. Manton claimed in
his brief, overlooked two facts of cap
ital importance to Becker which did
not appear in the first trial but were
established la the second trial by the
states principal witness, Jack Rose,
the informer.
The brief says that .nasmuch as
Rosenthal had threatened TO expose
Becker in q New York newspaper,
Becker must have known that an at
tack on Rosenthal at that time would
be attributed TO his agency. The ques-
ton that should have been presented
to the jury, states the brief was
whether Rose, who hired the. gunner,
was animated by a desire TO save his
own life, which was already imperiled,
according to his own testimony by
Roses representations to Jack Helg,
a gang leader, or If he engaged the
gnnmen at the Instance of Becker to
kin RosenthaL The only purpose Of
the crime IN the latter contingency,
Il Is argued, would have been to pre-
vent Roscnthal from doing something
which had alroady been done-that is
publish charges against Becker. and
from attempting something which he
could not accomplish, that Is Becker's
Indictment for bribery and his re-
moval from office.
