Roman characters. Only Turkish characters can be used here- After In signs and advertisements. Tho Mine order applies to druggist pre scriptions. The order became effective yester day, and Constantinople arose today to find herself the greatest labyrinth of mystery in the world. All Signs Taken Down. Two thirds of the populace are Greeks, Armenians, Jews and natives of other countries. They have a slight speaking knowledge of the Turkish tongue, but know little of the printed characters. " Strangers found It diffi cult to get about, and the average citi zen could not tell from its sigh wheth er a building harbored a hotel or stable. The 'removal of the European lan- gaage signs continued all day yester day, several thousand men being em ployed. No line of. business was ex empted. Even doctors and lawyers "were compelled to take down their brass plates and substitute Turkish characters or go without. Most of the foreign professional men who could not read their own name, printed' in Turk ish, chose the latter course. American firms were hard hit. Stand ard Oil, the Singer Sewing Machine company and typewriter concerns had thousands of signs and advertisements all over the city painted in English end western European languages. In come instances they saved their signs lay obliterating the English words aid leaving only pictures of sewing ma chines or typewriters on their posters The pharmacists made vain efforts to. convince the government that the carrying out of the order would en danger the health of the community. They pointed out that all medical for jnulas had their basis in the Latin languages, and said it would be Impos sible to overturn the precedents -01 Centuries, The government lnvnea me pharmacists to keep the prescriptions and their notue laDeia in lurMon vr go out of business.

COMPANY CLAIMS TITLE TO SEA SH0R (Continued From Page One) h-county was carved and the tide and marsh lands involved extend along the coast of the greater portion of that county. It has been assumed that the rail road company owned the tide and marsh lands below the meander line fixed by the government in the Ya quina and Alsea bays and other inlets along the coast, but not until recently did anyone tave an idea that the rail road company claimed the ocean beach waterfront along the entire coast line of Lincoln county south of Otter Rock. Knowledge .that the railroad company claims this frontage came to light when a short time ago the company presented to. theassessor of Lincoln county plats of th Newport beach for filing for assessments purposes. Not , knowing what to do with the plats, the assessor put the matter up to the state tax commission for ad vice, and the tax commission has re ferred the matter to Attorney General Brown for an opinion. State Xand Board Enjoined. In' 1911 the state land board under took to sell a small piece of water frontage, a parcel of less than two acres, on Alsea bay, and the railroad company brought suit for an injunction against the board. The state attacked the validity of the original grant, al leging that the legislature had no power to give away the public's Inter est in tide lands on navigable waters: Circuit ' Judge Galloway sustained the contention of the state land board and denied the injunction. The case was appealed to the state supreme court, which reversed the' lower court. Oswald West', then governor, sought to have the case carried to the United States supreme court, but It was thrown out on the ground that no fed eral question was involved. legislature Passed Hew Act. The 1913 legislature passed an act providing that the ocean beach shall be a public highway, but if the rail road company's claim is sustained the beach along most of Lincoln county will Be no public highway.

The railroad com pany is now cfaiming all these low lands and the present holders are up In arms, ready to fight for the prop erty scone of them have held for many years. There, are about 75 land owners on Yaquina bay and about as many on the Alsea 1 who are affected. On Ya quina bay and .river, about 1800 acres are. involved and about 1200 acres-on the Alsea bay and river. Some of this is considered the best hay and dairying land In that part of the country. Yaquina Klrsr XtanOa Involved. On the Yaquina river the - tide ex tends as far back as Elk City, a dis tance of 12 miles. Some of the land, it is said, overflows once during tne summer, "usually during a high tide in July, and five or six times in the -winter. It has been farmed a good many rears. The railroad company .is now listing It for assessment in the com pany's name. On the Alsea bay ana river the tide runs back to Tidewater, a distance of about eight miles up the river.' Illustrating the extent to which Lin coln county is bottled up and delivered into the hands of the railroad company. an instance of a tew years ago is cited. A boat line was established, ' running into Newport, ab soon as the compe tition began to be felt, the railroad company forced a discontinuance ' of the boat line by taking from the line all boat landtegs.

He and Thomas Bilyeu, in ventor of the. cashier company's origi nal models, were the only two of the seven men on trial to take the stand. The remainder, apparently through legal strategy, were kept in the back ground, and for each Jn turn Menefee made some exonerating statement. The case may not go to the Jury until the middle of next week. - Directed Verdict Sought. Immediately after Reames today had said "The government will rest," the several attorneys for the defendants arose and asked for a directed verdict of not guilty and Judge Bean dis missed the Jury, until Monday- after noon at 2 o'clock when arguments be fore It are scheduled to commence, "The evidence is all in." said the court to the -Jury. T;jwant you to re serve your Judgment in this case un til the arguments are all made and you receive the instructions of the court." It was then announced that argu ments for a directed verdict would be made only fbr Defendants O. E. Ger nert. B. F. Bonnewell and H. M. Tod, indicted salesmen. ' Later Attorney Martin Pipes asked for and received permission to arguVon the motion this afternoon for Bilyeu. No arguments, it was agreed, would be offered on the motion as It concerned Menefee, Oscar Campbell, vice president" and director, and F. M. LeMonn? "former stock sales manager. Arffuments Presented for Agents. J. J. Fitzgerald, representing Bonne weli andTodd, was the first to argue on th motion, for a directed verdict. After reviewing the charges in tne In dictment, he argued that they had no knowledge of the inside affairs of the company, because they were exclusive ly engaged In the sale of stock in the field, and had put In only dno day prior to their employment In confer ring with Menefee and other officials of the concern. All information concerning patent rights, financial affairs and progress of the company in development of ma Chines, originated 'and came through superior officers, he said, and on such information they relied. The sals of the Menefee private stock to Todd and Todd's work in retailing it in 1913, he declared, was a private arrange ment and could not be construed as a part of a conspiracy, if such existed. Bonnewell" s similar action In the sale of stock privately owned by LeMonn and others, he said, could not be con strued as. having had-any connection with the operations of the company. Zn Behalf of Osrnsrt. Noon adjournment found Robert-Ma-gulre completing his argument for O. E. "Gernert. He declared the evidence against Gernert was of such character that it could have been brought, against the office stenographers with equal force. He pointed out that Gernert had nothing to do with the patents, adver tisements of financial statements of the concern, but did rely on them for what information he imparted to peo ple to whom he sold stock.
