THE 3IORNIXG OREGONIA FRIDAY,' JULY 24, 1908. -SULTAN HESITATES TO EMPLOY FORCE Instructs Commanders to Use Money and Soft Words at Monastir. ADHERES TO HIS CUSTOM Constantinople Explains Inactivity of Government tn Disaffected Dis trict Loyalty of the Entire Army Is In Doubt. CONSTANTINOPLE. July 23. The in activity of the Turkish miltary authori ties, in the Monastir district, against the revolutionary uprising under the guid ance of the Young Turks, is explained by the fact that the orders issued from Con stantinople to the military commanders are to proceed cautiously and endeavor to win over the insurgents by promises of money and promotions, according to the Sultan's way of dealing with malcontents. Serious doubts are entertained regard ing the loyalty of the garrisons in the Monastr district. It is feared that the commencement of operations will be the signal for a general revolt in the army. It is believed here that the movement will ultimately result in an uprising which will compel a change in the present sys tem of government. There Is no truth in the report that the Sultan has granted a constitution for the sake of quieting the malcontents. REALLY DEMAND ABDICATION Young Turkey Cannot Expect Sultan to Grant Parliament. LONDON, July 23. Details received here of the crisis which has arisen in Turkey through the infection of a large section of the army with young Turk ish sympathies are still somewhat ob scure, but it is evident that the Sultan has been driven to adopt strong meas ures to meet the difficult situation. The present crisis appears to have been the result of general discussion. A body of the Sultan's troops in the Mon astir district, discontented with their pay. bad food and clothing, have .fallen under the influence of the Younsr Turkey propaganda and mutinied. The leading features of the Young Turkey movement are a demand for a constitu tional government and opposition to any European interference on the ground that it would mean the ultimate separation of Macedonia from the Otto man empire. As it is admittedly hopeless to ex pect the Sultan to grant parliamentary rule Young Turkey's demand is really for the abdication of the Sultan to pave the way for the Inauguration of the constitution. The adherents of the Young Turkey faction are scattered "among "air "classes of tradesmen and officials and the movement evidently is making great headway, although at the present time It lacks a strong leader. During the past week numerous as sassinations of officers under 'suspicion of being Informers to the Young Turks have been . reported from Macedonia, while Greek outrages against Bulga rians tend to strengthen the reform -movement, because the Bulgarians are likely to make common cause with the Young Turks. GOULD PL0J THICKENS Another Young Woman Says Mrs. Teal Approached Her. NEW YORK, July 23. With another witness found who alleges she was ap proached with a proposal to give false ev idence against Frank J. Gould, the young millionaire who Is being sued for divorce by Mrs. Helen Kelley Gould, evidence of an amazing plot swiftly accumulated. The District Attorney's office promises yet more startling revelations than those al ready made public. The now witness Is Miss Blanche Hale, a hairdresser, who lives at the Hotel IJn coin and has a number of fashionable patrons. j Miss Hale has been examined by a representative of the District Attorney's oftice and is said to have disclosed details to a proposition very similar to that to which Miss Mabel MacCausland, the young milliner's apprentice, made affi davit. The latter's statement resulted An the arrest of Mrs. Ben Teal. Miss Julia Fleming and Detective Henry 9. Mousley, who were charged with subornation of perjury in an alleged attempt to secure evidence against Frank J. Gould, which would enable Mrs. Helen Kelley Gould to secure a divorce and large alimony. misrepresenting a job near Sellwood.

"Helen" Brewster, second baseman on the Chicago "ladies" baseball team, pulled out a plug of tobacco while holding down his sack in the fifth inning of the game with Salem today, and bit off a chunk of the prepared weed that would have astounded even Napoleon Lajoie or Hans Wagner. The game was fast and exciting from the time that sweet "Blanche" Orie. another mean man in women's garb, toed the plate at the beginning of the match with gracefulness that would have aroused envy among such back-timers as Lillian Russell and "Divine Sarah," until the last ball was thrown. The score at the finish of the game was 6 to 4 In favor of the Mascul.ne Molly Coddles from Salem. One of the largest crowds in the. history of the city saw the game, which was played on the Tri-CIty League grounds. HER NAME WAS M'KIXVEY Mrs. Teal Not Blood Relation of Late Captain Oilman. Mrs. Ben Teal, who is charged in con nection with the alleged conspiracy against one of the Gould family, is a for mer Portland girl. She was not born here, but came to this city with her mother when only 9 years of age. She lived here a number of years. She was Eleanor McKinney when she came to Portland. Her father A. E. Mc Kinney. who was the manager of the Gil man estate, was twice married. His first wife was the mother of Eleanor Gil man. The girl at that time lived in a little town in Illinois, and as soon as the step-mother learned of the former mar riage of her husband she urged that the daughter be brought to this city. Her father was a prominent insurance man of this city and had charge of the Oilman estate. It is charged against him that he wrecked the estate. and his friends allege that he was tn no way re sponsible. .Mrs. Teal is about 35 years of age and lived In this city for a number of vears. Shortly after the arrival of her father here, some 25 years ago. he marrted Miss Ida Oilman, a daughter of Captain Gil man, one of the pioneers of this city. It was after they had been married for a year or more that Mrs. McKinney learned of her husband's daughter In Il linois. She Insisted on her being brought to this city and the girl, when she ar rived here, was adopted by Mrs. McKin ney. It was In this way that a confusion In her name has appeared in various newspapers. The girl was quite a figure in this city and was known by many of the older resi dents here. She was marrted to one of James J. Hill's secretaries and has come into prominence since that time.

ROOSEVELT WILL KEEP ON (Continued From First Page.) Alton road, that his attention had not been called to any such rate by any j-erson or by the examination of any document, and that it was his understanding and belief, based on what he xv as told by one Holland, tariff clerk for the Alton, that th rate over the Alton road was 6 cents and that such rate had been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission. Following is the testimony of Bo grardus before Judge Landls as taken from page 423 of the printed record: The witness, in response to questions by counsel for the defendant, was permitted by the court, over the objection of counsel' for the United States that the evidence was in competent and immaterial and merely the conclusions of witness and not the facts, to testify as follows: "During the years I have mentioned. 1001 05. I did not see anything at out an 18-cent per hundred rate on oil over the Chicago & Alton Railroad between Whltlnc ani East St. Louis in any tariff whatever. My atten tion had never in any way been called to such a rate by any human being, or by the examination of ar;- document of any kind or character or otherwise. During the pe riod of time mentioned. It was my under standing and belief that this fl-cent rate, re garding which I have testified, wa filed with the Interstate Commerce Commslon That understanding and belief was ba.ed on what I was told In the Chicago A Alton office tfy Mr. Hollands. "During all that period of time In con nection with their shipment of oil over the Chicago & Alton Railway by the Standard Oil Company of Indiana as its representative in that particular work. I had no inten tion to violate any lawfully established rate of the Chicago & Alton Railway Company. During all that time I believed absolutely that I was shipping oil under a lawfully established and filed rate Issued by the Chi cago & Alton Railroad Company." The papers also print an excerpt from the record that shows that where Judge Grosscup states that Judge Landis re ferred to the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey as "no virgin" offender. Judge Landis really referred to "the defendant," namely, the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. The two points given, it is believed, will form the groundwork of the pe tition for a rehearing.

GROSSCUP EAGER TO RETIRE Hastened Decision That He May Re sume Law Practice. CHICAGO, July 23. Judge Peter S. Grosscup's early . retirement from the Federal bench was the reason given and generally accepted today (or the quick decision of the Federal Court of Appeals In the Standard Oil case. The report was to- the effect that the judge desired to clear up his docket so that he could resign and practice law as soon as possible. That the Judge has been anxious for some time to leave the bench and return to private prac tice has been known to his close friends. The bench' has nothing more to offer him In the way of honors, the work has become Irksome, and the pay Is unquestionably small compared with what he could earn at the bar. espe cially In corporation law. It Is now asserted In. legal a,nd business circles that he may be able to get out this Summer or early Autumn so that his successor can take hold when the court opens In October.

We recognize that the presence of repre sentatives of the United States and France among us testifies to the growth of the spirit of friendship between nations. On that spirit the progress of humanity largely de pends and, I hope and believe, true progress will express Itself more and more in years to come. The high ideal of universal peace and brotherhood may be far from realisa tion, but every act that promotes harmony among nations points the way toward Its at tainment. This celebration Is such an act, for It appeals to Canada, to the British Em pire and to the civilized world. I therefore, rejoice to be here, to take part with you during these memorable days in paying homage to Champlain and doing honor to Quebec. Great Historic Pageant.
