THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1908. OF PROMINENT FIGURES IN GOULD CONSPIRACY CASE. FOR FALSEHOOD ALTERATION SA District Attorney Claims to Have More Evidence Against Mrs. Teal. SCHOOL MANY GIRLS TO TESTIFY Two Members of "Mimic World" Chorus Among Those Said to Have Been Approached in Gould Conspiracy Case. NEW YORK, July 30. SpeciaJ.) Allcs Flemlnu, encouraged by the advice of Richard MeCabe, her fiance, and emblt tfred by the treatment she has received ince her confinement In the Tomb on the charge of being a party to the plot to furnish false testimony to aid Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould In obtaining a divorce from her husband, Frank Jay Oould, has given to Assistant District Attorney Hart the names of two other women, said to be members of the chorus in "The Mimic "World," now at the Casino, who are al leged to have been approached by Mrs. Ben Teal and offered financial Induce ments to give false testimony concerning slicked relations between Mr. Oould and ' Bessie De Voe. the actress, as would entitle Mrs. Gould to obtain a divorce. The preliminary hearing of Mrs. Teal and her alleged fellow conspirators was concluded last Tuesday night. At that time Magistrate Corrigan announced that he would render his decision Friday, in timating that he would hold the defen dants for trial. It is said the two chorus girls refused to go Into the scheme and gave as a reason their fondness for Bessie De Voe. The Information is piling up In the District Attorney s office, it Is said, which establishes that Mrs. Teal was the head Instructress in the school for the manu facture of false testimony. Mabel Mac Causlan's story of how she was induced to sign a false statement by Mrs. Teal has not been contradicted In any way except by the denial of Mrs. Teal, and It is contended by Mr. Hart that the strong est possible corroboration of the testi mony of MJss MacCauslan lies in the fact that the Incriminating statement made by licr, "with original notes fcmltted to have been written by Henry 8. Mouseley. a private detective, and dictated by Mrs.. Teal, were found In Mouseley's pocket when he was arrested. Blanche Hale's statement, wrung from her by Mr. Hart, Is In direct corrobora tion of the charge that Mrs. Teal tried to Induce this young woman, a hairdresser of the Hotel Lincoln, to give false testi mony for money, and corroborates Miss MacCauslan's testimony as to the nature of the attack to be made upon Mr. Gould's conduct to aid Mrs. Gould In her suit for divorce. Subpenas have been issued for the two chorus girls, whose names are withheld in the District Attorney's office for Judi cial reasons. It Is said in the District Attorney's of fice that the number of persons ap proached by Mrs. Teal, as alleged, with the proposition to testify against Mr. Gould will make It difficult for her .to sus tain the defense as outlined by Lawyer Blumenthal, that Mrs. Teal was Induced to go Into this scheme through the de signs of Miss MacCauslan. the 18-year-old girl, to make herself famous as a wit ness In an Important divorce suit and lay the foundation for a successful career upon the stage.

TURKS IN TURMOIL Dissatisfaction Among Liber als at Sultan's Delay. WANT NEW MINISTRY Situation Is Badly Muddled and De velopments Cannot Be Foreseen. Master Hand Is Directing Semi-Revolutionary Move. CONSTANTINOPLE. July 30. Al though ' the demonstrations In the streets of Constantinople over the granting of a constitution have prac tically ceased, there are signs of much dissatisfaction among the liberal ele ment at the delay In the reconstruc tion of the Ministry. Scenes of the wildest description continue in the cafes, where officers and civilians em brace each other and express their delight at the ending of the tyrannical regime. The situation still lacks clearness. and It is Impossible at present to fore cast the next development with any degree of certainty. The Toung Turks are masters of Constantinople, and the European provinces, and except in the f t h t directing hand of the movement is still invisible and unknown. A noteworthy incident in the popular manifestations at last Sunday, which at the time escaped notice. Is the fact that the military college was surrounded by troops In order to prevent the stu dents from leaving that Institution. The people manifested their resentment at this precaution, whereupon the troops were withdrawn and the students moved about freely. The only Incident of today has been a noisy demonstration of artiHery offi cers and soldiers at the Porte, where the men gathered apparently clamoring for promotion. As a matter of fact, the object of this demonstration was hostil ity toward Zekkl Pasha, grand master of the artillery, whose withdrawal was requested. Zekkl Pasha was hooted while going to the Porte. Two hundred army officers have ar rived at Adrlanople from Salonika to replace the doubtful officers of the sec ond army corps. Seliiu Pasha's Cowardice. It has become known that Sellm Mel hamed Pasha, minister of mines and forests, was assisted in getting out of the country by "the good offices of the Italian embassy, and this fact has pro duced a bad Impression among the lib eral Turks. The escape of Sellm Pasha is regarded as an act of cowardice, in that he abandoned his sovereign at a critical juncture, a course which, it Is held, testified to his guilty conscience. Italians explain that the embassy was not aware that Sellm Pasha meditated flight. He requested the use of the embassy launch, to embark his son Nihad. who was coming to Rome to take the post of first secretary In the Ottoman embassy, and made use of the boat to get away. They say further that had Sellm Pasha applied for the protection of the Italian flag on the ground that his life was in danger, he could not have been refused. The whole Melhamed family Is exceedingly unpopular, espe cially Tenjib, who has not been seen for several days. The constitutional party is anxious to call them to ac count for many alleged reprehensible deeds In enriching themselves. Some of the foreign Ambassadors are blamed for the protection and friendship ex tended to the Melhameds, without which, it is argued, they never could have attained the position and influ ence they did. Two of Selim Pasha's daughters married German officers, while a third is the wife of an Italian officer. . No further, news has been received of the fate of Habib Melhamed, who while trying to escape from the coun try was arrested by Toung Turkey of ficers under Mustapha Pasha. Accord ing to advices from Salonica, Isken der Melhamed was condemned to death by the Young Turk Committee, but this sentence subsequently was suspended. message received by the Turkish Consul General was as follows: Inform all fugitive Turkish citizens In New York City and in all the United States. In cluding political fugitives, without repard to race or nationality, whether Greek. Armenian, Turkish or Albanian, that after the prodmul sation of a constitution for the Turkish Em pire, his Majeety. the Sultan, upon request of the government, has granted general am nesty, and all political fugitives may go back to Turkey . after having the necessary pass ports verified at the office of the Turkish Consul-General, 89 Pearl street. New York City. The reading of the announcement to a number of his countrymen by the Consul General was greeted with cheers. Mundjl Bey said. I regard, this as the most Important step forward that has yet been taken, insofar as It relates to Turkish citizens In the United States. Thero are some 400.000 Turkish citi zens in this country and more than 200,000 of these are political fugitives, men who have often longed to return to their old homes, but have feared to do so. These men may now go back to their country without fear. The amnesty appplles to political, not criminal, refugees. I am sure that those who have offended politically, and have sought an asylum in this country, will now return and help in the work of constructing a united nation. Turkey will now be as free as the United States. Bharlty, If 1 mistake not. there will be a Turkish Ambassador at Washington. Our aim will be to main tain then closest relations wltli the United States, as Indeed is natural, since the con ditions of citizens of this country will be our ideal for citizenship in Turkey.

The Consul-General said he would be surprised if at least 100,000 Turkish sub jects did not return to their native land within the next month or so. Of the 60, 000 Armenians and other mixed national ities In this country he estimated that 5000 at least would depart within a very short time. Of Turkish refugees he said there were none here, but a large colony had settled In the provinces. TOO EARLY TO FORM OPIXION Irishman Says- Uttle Bloodshed Was Caused by Revolution. WASHINGTON.' July 80. American Am bassador Irishman to Turkey, In a dis patch to the States Department regarding; recent events In Turkey and the procla mation of a constitution, says: "The change has been brought about with comparatively little bloodshed, al though It Is too early to determine whether the new ministry of the govern ment will run without conflict or disturb ance. The constitution is limited and Is the same as that granted at the beginning of the present reign. Changes In the min istry are taking place and efforts are be ing made to have some of the palaces entourage displaced." Mr. Irishman says the populace openly charge the palace camarilla with un scrupulousness. The dispatch adds that a general amnesty for political prisoners has been proclaimed and that the Imprisoned are being released. Swindler Gives Himself Vp. fEW ORLEANS, La.. July 30. Moses Schwartz, former president of the SchwarVs Iron Foundry Co., has sur rendered himself on a charge of obtain ing money under false pretences, and has been released under $10,000 bond. Schwartz's financial trouble came to light a few months ago, when he went to Honduras with William AdleT, for mer president of the State National Bank. They were shipwrecked In sight of the land they were headed for. Schwartz soon returned to New Or leans, but Adler Is still In Honduras. Fairbanks Takes Outing. .DETROIT, Mich., July 30.

Budd. of California, Who Died Yesterday. capital the feeling is anything but fa vorable to the Sultan. Even in Con stantinople disloyal crlts were heard duilng the recent street demonstra tions. At a banquet given In Seres to celebrate the re-establishment of the constitution, the Sultan was hooted, while the Christians at this place are beginning to entertain misgivings as to the sincerity of the professions of the Toung Turks. Hardly any news has been received from th Asiatlo provinces, and this is regarded as dis quieting. The Vail and the Military Commandant at Smyrna have been dis missed by the Young Turks, owing to their hostile attitude toward the con stitution. Forced to Quick Action. The Toung Turkey uprising toward the restoring of the constitution had been planned for September 1. the anniversary of the Sultan's accession to the throne, but the meeting at Reval between King Edward and the Emperor of Russia and the Imminence of the Anglo-Russian re form proposals precipitated matters and forced the Toung Turks to take action before this date, the object of the consti tutional party being to forestall this pro posal and render it superfluous. Every body has been greatly impressed with the perfect organVrntion of the movement and the absolute discipline In all ranks. The AMXESTT FOR ALL FUGITIVES Turkey May Take Back 200,000 From United States. NEW TORK. July 30.--The Sultan of Turkey, through the Turkish Consul-General in this city, Mundjl Bey, today pro claimed general amnesty to all political fugitives, regardless of race, in this coun try. This relates to about 200,000 Armen ians and others In the United States. The ALL MEN WHO SUCCEED IN THE commercial world point back with pride to the fact that they, early in life, opened an ac count with some strong bank, thereby establish ing a credit of untold value.
