C, FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1909. PRICE 5 CENTS THE MARKET MEN MAKE SPLENDID BEG NN NGTQDAY Base Boards Knocked From Under Stalls and Long Hidden Filth Removed A CRUSADE FOR HEALTH Following the Opening Gun of th'J Campaign for a Cleaner City Mar ket House the Market Men Begin to Clean Vp Tilings Step m the Right Direction-Friends of Health "Will Fight it Out on This Line if It Takes AH Summer" A Word to the Market Men. Tills morning at an early hour un usual activity was manifest at the city market. Men were seen at work sweeping out din and dusty corners. Old shoes, overshoes, bones, scraps, dirt, filth of all kinds, was being rudely ousted from retreats long oc cupied in peace and quiet. At the .stalls which were buiit close down to the floor (and there were several of thorn) the base-boards were being torn away, so that the floor could be washed decently. The Times yester day called attention to the fact that the stalls were so constructed that flushing was an impossibility and the removal of these base-boards is , a great improvement. The Evening Times is heartily in favor of selling the old market house because it believes that it would be an Utter impossibility to ao .renovate it as to make it sanitary or even half way decent, The structure is an un safe, disreputable old eye-sore and has no nlace in these urneresaive times. .' . "' ''..' ' v A Word to Market Men. The fact remains, however, that the building is the city market house and will so remain for several months. Even if the people of Ral eigh vote to 'sell It, it will be several months before the sale can be effect ed and a new one erected.. What are the people of Raleigh to do in the meantime? If they sit down and with folded hands tamely allow the stall keepers in the market house to deal out steak, fish, etc.; laden with bacteria and dirt, they will do it with their eyes wide open. The Times dislikes to advertise to the world the fllthltiesB of' Raleigh's market house, but in the interests of the public health the white light of publicity Is going to be turned on that sore on the body politic not once, nor twice, hut every day until conditions im prove. Like the immortal Grant, The Evening Times is "going to fight It out along this line if it takes all summer." It realizes the fact that perfect cleanliness and the best san itary management cannot be had in the present market house; but there Is one thing dead certain conditions ran be Improved and a much higher degree of cleanliness attained despite the fact that the structure is unlit fur market purposes. The floors could be kept clean; the blocks could be kept free from the thick coating of coagu lated blood and decaying meat scraps; the counters could be wash' ed occasionally; the, woodwork around the Btalls could be kept paint ed and free from its present coat of grease, blood and dirt; the men who handle the meat might be required to wear clean aprons and wash their hands occasionally. Is it too much to ask of you, Mr. Market Man? The Times is no trouble-maker. I, has no desire to hurt the bustne?! of any man. There Is only a slncert desire on the part of The Times t serve the people. Their welfare is its highest consideration and it Is fot them that this crusade for cleanllnesr Is Marled. The start made by the market house people this morning is a goof one. ' If they will keep It up Th Times will have nothing but good t nay of them. If they don't the peo jilo will hqar of it. Bear in mind, Mr Market Man et al, that The Evenin; Times has been commissioned by thf people to safeguard in every way their health and look after their welfan and that this paper is going to bi faithful to the duties Imposed upon it. If the market house Is not cleaned uj and kept In better condition the peo pie are' going to know about It. II necessary to "call names' In order tr secure cleanliness it will be done without the slightest hesitancy.

Former Silk Importer Tells' the Gov ernment How It Is Done. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, April 23 The discov ery that Uncle Sam has been myster iously robbed by smugglers and the recent seizure of $52,000 wqrth of smuggled finery by customs inspect ors is all due, according to a high government official to information furnished to the government by Aus tin P.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, April 2:i--Goadod by what he terms "the 'reflexion" cast upon him by the tentative declara tions of his own alienist, Dr. L. S. Manson, that Captain '.Main's, now on trial -'in' Flushing lor his life is not now Insane, John F. Men tyre, senior counsel for the defense is today ser iously contemplating putting the army 'officer oil the stand as his own star witness. ; ; '1 feel now," said Mclntyre, "that 1 may have.-to do this, much as I re gret it. And mind you, I won't be re sponsible for what happens if this poor fellow is placed on the stand. "I say that he is as crazy as a loon; 1 said it at the last trial; 1 said it while preparing for this one and 1 say it now. "I dont' want to stand in the posi tion of taking part in the turning free upon the community of a lunatic.: "I tell you, I don't know what may happen at tiny moment. Captain Hains, I really believe, is just as like ly as not to jump at the foreman of the jury under the hallucination that he is 'Billy' Amis. "is a man who races toothpicks -for boats in his soup at the luncheon table a sane man?" The only explanation that can be given of the remarkable statements of Dr. Manson is that the alienist be came overenthusiastic about what, to him, seemed a marked Improvement in Captain Hains. He stated today that he did not intend to Convey the Impression in his interview that Hains was fully cured or anything like it. "I was misunderstood," he declar ed. "I said the defendant was not now suffering; .from the mania that induced him to murder and that he had lucid intervals." The trial was resumed today with seven jurors In the box. The morning session ended 'with out securing a single addition to t lie seven men already In the box. NO EASY TASK FDR THEREPUBLiCANS (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, April 23---Deveiop- ments thus far in the senate during the consideration of the tariff bill indicate that the republican will have no easy task in passing the measure. The protest of western republicans against the re-enactment of the Ding- ley rates which is practically what the Aldrich-Payne bill does, is trong, and there is trouble ahead for the leaders. This Is made evident by the attitude of such senators as Cum mins, Nelson, and Dolliver, whose criticism of the rates in the senate bill are quite as severe as those made by the: democratic minority. They take especial exception to the effort of New England senators to make the bill sectional by providing free raw material for New England factories and maintaining a higher protection upon their manufactured products. A similar criticism conies from the south. Protest Against Tariff. (By Leased Wlro to The Times) Chicago, April 23 A meeting has been called of the leather tanners, harness unit wboleHiita boot iiml shoe manufacturers, jobbers and 1'etallers for tomorrow at the Grand Pacific Ho tel, far the purpose of protesting gainst any tariff being, placed on hides. :--. ,..-.-.-. ;'.,'.' the sultan;df turkey will be RULER NO LONGER The National Assembly Votes to Depose the Repre sentative of Allah CONDITION IS CHAOTIC l!y a Vote' of 1:10 to ."( the Assembly I'luler the Protection of the Young Turk Troops Votes to Depose Abdul Humid News ltcccivcd With Great Rejoicing by the Young Turks.

Torn by internal strife; racked by the rioting of fallal ics, almost gov eranieiitless,. it. needed, only. the de velopments of Unlay to add to the completeness Of the confusion. It was late-today bofure. the flew.: became general that the assembly had secretly voted to depose the sul tan. The, session was held tit. Kan Stefuno -under the "'protection of the Young Turk army. The time when the deposition shall take place is un decided. The Sheilih-l'l-lslam is pre paring a fVttta on the subject, '-..Events here during the . last 21 hours pointed to the end of the reign of the sultan. Simultaneously with the report thai the' chamber of depu lles, ..'in session under the protection if the Macedonian troops al San Ste faho. has voted to "depose Abdul Humid' came the other one that the suit an had broken down under the collapse and had gone Insane. If the report of the sultan's mental condi tion is true it will open the way for his deposition. In this way his suc cessor would come to the throne in the-' same way as he himself did, for. Abdul Hainid succeeded Sultan 'Mu-' id V after he had been declared temporarily insane. The vote of the chamber at San Stel'ano is said to have been IS 6. to 50 in favor of depo sition.. This cannot be brought about. however, without the formality of the Sheikh-l'l-lslam's decision. This will ome in the way of a fetwa, or relig ious declaration. The next step' of' the parliament, it Is said, will be to protect. the life of tteichaud Effendl, the sultan's heir. He Is at present a prisoner of the sul tan in the Ylldiz kiosk. The sultan appeared upon the streets of Constantinople today and was greeted by the people with cries ;f adoration. With a mask-like countenance and his head sunk be tween his stooped shoulders he ack nowledged the salutations of the throng by curt nods.
