REPORT ABDICATION

Abdication of Sultan Cannot B Af

Constantinople. April 20. With the
Constitutional army steadily enveloping
his capital and demanding but head,
with a trarriaon un wiling to defend him,
and with a cabinet ready to surrender
to the demamia of the patriot army,
Sultan Abdul Hamid ia reported to
have abdicated and tied on a warship or

Russian embassy concerning the truth
of the rumor that the sultan waa umwr

a a all know edffcoi inesuiian a move

rumors.
The abdication of Abdul Hamid, how

and it appears that within a day or two
th Constiuttionalist. may accept as

the eldest son of the late sultan, who

displeased with Abdul Hamid a atti
tude.
Tha Constitutional forces sent out
small parties to reconnoiter thia after
noon, and at 7 o'clock in me evening
they were within sight of the gates of
Constantinople. They encountered no
resistance, nor does resistance seem
likely, unless it is at the palace. The
headquartera of the Constitutionalist
army ia at Dedegatich, and General
Husni Pasha s forces, wnicn now num
ber between 20,000 and 30,000, occupy
a range of hills about 20 mile, from
the capital.
LOEB AFTER SMUGGLERS.
Decline. Offer of 8260,000 to Drop
Government Inquiry,
Nw York. ADril 20. The smuggling
syndicate that first offered Collector of
the Port Loeb iuu,uuu 10 arop vne
irnvernmen t's investigation of the
smueelinitof "sleeper" trunk, con
taininir 155,000 wortn ol raris gowns
increased its offer today to $260,000,
according to Mr. Loeb,
"Tha amount now onerea me gov-
mment to droo the investigation and
ptobable prosecution is $260,000," said
Mr. Loeb. "The amount representa
what would be the penaltiea of fully
$200,000 above the appraised value of
the good.. All offers have been re
fused. We want the smugglers."
It is believed that worry over this
case so affected the mind of William
G. Bainbridee. confidential agent of
the United States Treasury department
in Paris, that he committed suicide.
The Treasury department had fully ap
proved Mr. Bainbridge . course in tne
case, but he left a note declaring he
was the victim of a plot.
Mr. Loeb's investigation shows that
the smuggled gowns had been made in
Pari, by famous designer, for many
women of social prominence and wealth
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Washington and that the reason for
offering such a large sum to suppress
the investigation was to shield the
women from unpleasant publicity.
Hecate Matter Serious.
Ottawa, Ont., April 20. The ques
tion as to jurisdiction over jiecate
straits on the Pacific coast of Canada,
between Queen Charlotte islands and
British Columbia, is likely to become
an active issue within a short time.
As these waters lie between two Cana
dian stretches of territory, the Domin
ion claims that they are as much her
exclusive property aa Long Island
sound ia the property of the United
States. The Hecate straiu are halibut
fisheries, and are resorted to by both
American and Canadian fishermen.

the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad, an
nounced tonight that in a few day. the
road would begin constructing branch
line, north and south from Melville,
Sask. The company will lose no time
in buildinc a through line from the
American boundary to Hudson bay,
thus providing the farmers of the Mid
dle state, with a short wheat route to
Eurote. He also announced the con
struction of several other branches
from the main line to the north.
Sultan Names Successor

RIGID LAWS TO GOVERN AERONAUTS.
A. L.o Stevens, Instructor of U. S.

Every day I am firmly convinced that
there should be government regulation
on ballooning. I have held thia theory
for some time, but the experience of

ago in the Sierra Madre mountain, ha
brought the need home to me more
stronifly than ever. The government
regulations should consist of licenses
for balloon pilots, ana laws within
which the pilot, should hav. to confine
themselves.
While I do not wish to reflect on this
aeronaut, I do wish to point out that
he i. only a case in point, Soma peo

with.
The popular idea is that ail one has
to do to niuke an ascension is to jump
Into the balloon car, cut loose and wtwn
one is reaily to actm tnrow ui'i.",n,
the ear.d ballast. As a mattttr of fart
that much is not even the alphabet ol
air riding.
When I heard that tus experimenter
wa to make tne trip wiin u
of pas lenger and with so small an
amount of lallat in my oi l Ameri
ca," I predicted failure. Il should
be thankful that th escape was so suc
cessful. There are tome requirements
and some thrones controlling the as
cent and descent of balloon, just as
fixed aa those that govern temperature
or that of gravitation. A rerlam sitej
air ship, with so many ruble feet of
gas naturally can carry only so many
passengers exclusive of It bal.aau
There is a nicety in determining just
how many it can carry successfully. !
To be ecilic. a balloon with HO.ooo,
cubic feet of gas should start out with j
35 bags of ballast ami live paisengef.
Equipped in that manner ti e pilot need
fear no storm, and have no worry. He
just as safe as if he were sitting at
hia own fireside. When a storm come,
by throwing overboard some ballast he
can go almve it When th st Tm i
over, by lettingout. little gaa through
the eacajie valves he can descend safely
to the earth. When a balloon of thi
ixe, that i SO, 000 cubic feet, haa
thrown over all it ballast for one rea
son or another, except live bug, it
should drop to earth at once. To do
otherwise i to run a dangerous risk.
A law making thi nrrrsary would be
a great boon to the art an I practice of
ballooning. A bg carrying between
35,000 B'ld 40.000 cubic feet of gas
and two person beside the pilot
should drop to earth when the pilot ha
expended all the ballast save three
bags. If he dm not do to he i risk
ing live that he should not be allowed
to jeopardize.
I am in favor of government regula
tion. At the present time license can
be granted to pilots in this country by
the Aero club of America. There are
now 21 men holding these license. An
pplirant must make 10 successful ar
censions before he i granted the li
cense. These direction have to be
made before he i granted the license,
under the direction of other licensed
pilots, or after the applicant ha made
four or five so that he ran manage a
balloon, he must keep data of hia triiis.
This information has to be exact, and
be filed away. For instance, when the
applicant drops back to earth, say on a
man a farm, he ha to give the man'
name and where he lives, and who
hauled him back to town. Thi i o
that at any future time the authorities
may satisfy themselves that the trip
was really made and that it was a suc
cessful one in every way.
r ranee has a very creditable method
of licensing its balloon men. The li
censes are not governmental, thouth.
Each pilot, who ia going to make an
ascent, carrie in his pocket a little
book with his number and his photo
graph in it. If any one questions his
identity or his ability as a riBvijrator
he simply show the book wilh his
photo behind the IsenglanH.
I am in favor of government licens
ing and government regulation, rather
than that of state Jurisdiction. In this
way the laws would be uniform, and
all the air sailers of something near
equal ability. An applicant would not
have to go to Washington to make an
ascent by any means. He may make
the trip at uny place under the guid
ance of an accredited pilot.
liallooning is becoming more and
more popular. It is now more than a
craze. Its possibilities are attracting
a great many reckless people to have
the experience of seeing the earth slip
out from under them. Mere is where
the trouble comes. I will not say that
it is not right for a man to go up In a
balloon by himself. I think thut ia
more a matter of ethics, A person
may walk on a railroad where there i
a third rail. Ha does it knowing that
he I. taking his life in his hands, but
when he persuades other people to go
along with him, he risks their lives
without enough experience to get them
out of danger should anvthlntr

five bags of ballast while another
spend twenty. The latter spend all
hi tittia in traveling up and down,
making saw teeth, while ttw other sails
along in a comparatively taiht line.

to make a trip with a tieg nner who
say the danger is nothing, with the
man who says "Oh, I'm not afraid
I've trot the nerve." A a matter of
, fact when good sens I uswl, there is
no more danger than there l in an au
tomobil trip. Hut there i much po
tential danger. I am willing to make
the trip with a beginner who tays:
"Now I'm new at thia, and want you
to take the rudder. I don't know It
all."

shoulB be compulsory that equipment
for communication with the earth or

The U. S. army eorp with which I
have been connected ha uccfully
experimented with a Deforest li ttru

However, there I. a new sparkle and
wirele telephone of th radio variety
which weigh only 10 pounds and which
any balloonist ran safely carry. The
radio si ark less attachment doe away

a spark that may ignite the ga bag.
liallooning ha advanced so far now
that it i no longer extierimental, but
I a science. The throwing out of bal

to learn to handle a balloon properly.
Why, In the (lines of things, should a
beginner, one who has nothing to urge
him on except curiosity and daredevil
try, be allowed to risk other lives?
I think the license to beginner
j should be made reasonably hard to ol,
tain. And further, the law regulat
