Little Parks Permitted To
Grow Weeds Instead OF
Shrubbery
WORKMEN STORE TOOLS
ON NEGLECTED GROUND
Civic Improvement Leagues
Are Suggested AS Remed-
ial Measure

A number OF citizens In the north
ern part of the city are said to be
highly incensed over the action OF the
workmen engaged in laying the pave
ment in Wooster avenue and are
blaming the city officials as well for
permitting the use of the little point
of land between Wooster avenue and
North Main street as a repository for
curbstones, paving blocks, wagons
and scrapers while not in use
This little plot of ground was prob
ably originally intended for park,
which would add immensely to the
beauty of the city and also add many
dollars to the value of the property in
the vicinity II 1t were improved. How
ever, the spot was never improved,
excepting for one summer, probably
because the city had no money and
the residents in that section lacked an
organization to go ahead and com
plete the improvement they started.
The fact that the ground was not
actually converted into beauty spot,
however, has no weight with indig-
,nant citizens, who complain that the
use of It as feeding ground Tor
horses and storage for paving para
phernalia cannot but render 1t un-
slightly.
,eRAtsEi PROPERTY VALUES
There are number of these little
points" OF land In different sections
OF Mt. Vernon and public spirited ciii-
zens who have love for the beautiful
and a desire to improve the appear
ance of Mt. Vernon both for that rea-
son and possibly because of the in
creased value II would bring to prop
critics In the vicinity of the plots, feel
that they could well be turned to n
profit and q pleasure at the same
time by the iudicious expenditure of
little time and money, either by the
city itself or by the residents Of the
sections In which these plots are lo'
Gated, or by cooperation of the city
and the residents
II would be comparatively easy
matter to clean mp these tracts, re
moving rubbish and weeds, start
grass on the bare spots and secure q
few hardy shrubs and ilowerine
plants on them, with the inevitable
result that the spot which Is now an
eyesOre or nearly so by reason of neg
lect. would at once make homes IN
that section more desirable and more
pleasant.

OF TURKEY,
MOHAMMED V, DIES
Seated on the Throne in 1909, After SO
Years Imprisonment by His
Brother, Abdul Hamid.

AMSTERDAM, July 5-Mohammed
V Sultan of Turkey died at Z O'Clock
Monday night, says a Constantinople
despatch received here today by way
of Vienna.
Mohammed V acceded to the throne
of Turkey on April 81, 1909, after he
had suffered Imprisonment for thirty
three years, the victim of the ambitions
Of his willy and scheming brother, Alb
dul famid, who wanted his own son.
Prince Burhan Edine, to succeed him
Mohammed was the thirty-fft SOW
cIeign of Turkey in direct descent of
the house of Osman the founder of the
empire. Though it effectively effaced
the crafty Abdul Hamid, the upheaval
in politics in Turkey in 1909. which
seated Mohammed on the throne of his
ancestors, suddenly brought into the
light a weak and sickly man, whose
hand in the government was destined
never to be strong.
Five minutes after the fetwa for the
dcthronement of Abdul arrived at the
Parliament House on April 81, 1909 Mo
manned was declared Sultan. He
emerged from the royal palace at Con
stantinople ruler who had no expert
cnce in the affairs of the government,
with practically no education for his
new duties, enlightment having been
denied him by his brother.
The fetwa which deposed Abdul,
drawn up by an eminent official, who
gave the fateful decision which the
Sheik al Islam confirmed, declared
Abdul guilty on three counts. 1t de-
clared that he had squandered the
wealth of the country, had broken laws
and burned the books of the Sheriat
and had spilled blood and committed
massacres

OUR SHIP LOSSES
MADE UP IN A DAY
Fourth s Launchings Overlook U-Boat
Destruction, According to Secre-
taTy Daniels.

NEW YORK, July Addresses by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels and Sec
retaTy of Labor Wilson and Senator j
Hamilton Lewis and other members OF
congress featured the Fourth of July cell
ebration of the Tammany society yes
terday.
Secretary Daniels, discussing Amer
ica's holiday shiplaunehing accomplish
ments, said a greater tonnage in vessels
slid down the ways yesterday than Ger
many had succeeded in destroying of
American ships SINCE the European war
began. Secretary Wilson, paying a trib-
ute to the American workingman who
build these ships. said he was 'the most
efficient workman existing anywhere"
One of the first things the department
of labor had to do after the United
States entered the war. Secretary Will
son said, was to defeat the German prop
aganda among American workingmen
that the conflict was a capitalistic one.
1T must be said to the credit of the
American wage worker that very few of
them have been led astray by false doc
trines that have been preached to them. >
Secretary Wilson alluded to great
stories Of the efficiency of the Germans !"
THAT efficiency" he said, lis principally
and was principally an advertising eff
cheney. There never was a time in the
history of Germany and the United
States when the American workingman
was not the superior in efficiency to the
much advertised Tueton. Taken by and
large, our workers produce approximate
ly four times as much per day, per month
and per year as the workers who are in
Germany. Our people, whether
they are of the workers or of the others,
will not end this struggle until there Is
no longer the remotest possibility of the
power of an autocrat being imposed on
the people of the United States"

SKILLED RECITAL
BY ORGANIST CRAM
Renditions Given Hearty Commenda-
tion by Good Sized Audience
Selections of Quiet Order.

The organ recital by Frank NJ. Cram
Wednesday evening was well attended
and received hearty commendation, 1t
was difficult proposition for the organ
ist to arrange program of American
organ music, owing to the paucity of
really desirable compositions by native
organists. The selections were especially
meritorious, however, and the organist
gave them very skilled rendering.
The suite by Demarest was a charm
ing thing and the Sunset division was
very appropriate, coming as it did just
at dusk.
The selections were. for the most part.
on the quiet order, and while appealing
most strongly to the musical sense of
the audience did not provoke enthusiasm
as Is frequently the case when the rendi-
tion shakes the windows with deafening
vibrations of tone
Mr.. Cram gave a brilliant rendering of
The Carlton by Faulkes, which was
repeated in response to an emphatic en-
core.
1t is greatly to be hoped that Brattle-
boro may be favored during the summer
with more of these recitals.

100 VOLUNTEER FOR
HAVING ON SUNDAY
But County Agent Says Situation Is
Not Serious Enough Yet So That
Farmers Hay Sundays.

With view of meeting the call for farm
help issued by the county bureau recently
board of trade officials offered this morn
ing to mobilize a contingent of 100 vol
unteer workers to help in the hay fields
of this locality Sunday Although appre-
ciative of the spirit that prompted the
offer County Agent A. w. Sweeton said
that the help situation was not yet so bad
that many of the farmers found it neees-
sary to do their haying on Sunday, and
that in any event he doubted his ability
to utilize so many volunteers
A considerable number of men whose
business requires their time six DAYS a
week have expressed their willingness to
do what they can toward helping on the
farms any Sunday throughout the summer

APPEALS TO ENDICOTT.
Sec. Baker Wants Strikes Ended Which
Are Delaying War Plans.

BOSTON, July 5.-Seeretary of War
Baker today asked Henry c. Endicott,
executive manager of the state commit
tee on public safety, to endeavor to end
strike of textile operatives at Lowell,
MANCHESTER, \. H., and Pawtucket, r. l.,
in order that soldiers who were being
sent to France might be properly
equipped.
In his message to Mr. Endicott, who
had been requested by the United Tex
tile Workers of America to arbitrate diff
ferences over wages, Mr.. Baker said:
will you be good enough to use your
good offices to- adjust disputes between
employers and textile workers in Lowell,
Mass, Manchester, \. H.. and Pawtucket
r. l., in order that soldiers who are SO
rapidly being sent to France may be
properly equipped! 1t is vital that a
maximum production in the New Eng
land textile industries be resumed at the
earliest possible date
The suggestion of Mr. Endicott as ar
arbitrator was made by the executive
committee of the textile union and ap
proved by the general council at meet
| ing in Lowell today.
