ABDUL HAMID A MANIAC.
Former Sultan Loses His. Mind En
tirelyRemarkable Core . Pre-.
scribed.-' ' .;:"'- ; ; '; r.v;.'
Salonica, Sept. 20 Haunted by1 the
vision of his beautiful harem favor
ite, whom he slew Just before being
sent into exile, ex-Sultan Abdul
Hamid has become a raving maniac
and the guard over him was doubled
today to prevent him from commit
ting . suicide. The former sultan
roams through his villa muttering
and railing, allowing no one to ven
ture near him.
The most remarkable cure ever at
tempted has been prescribed for the
former ruler. A carpenter shop is
being constructed near his villa so
that be can employ himself at work.
Abdul frequently employed bis spare
time while sultan by doing wood cut
ting, and the workshop has been con
structed in order to offer his mind dis
traction. The days of Abdul Hamid
are apparently numbered. Broken in
mind, health and spirit he is living
an unhealthy life, frequently going
for days without eating or removing
his clothing. He imagines everyone
a spy and suspects the servants of
trying to poison him. His entourage
is constantly exposed to brutal treat
ment and the freaks of his bad hu
mor.
.ie former sultan's memory has
gone entirely, and, upon hearing the
name of Drilderu, his loyal follower
and former vizier, mentioned, he ex
claimed :
"That dog Is a spy."
A plan to release Abdul and at
tempt to reinstate him, in his former
power has been given up on account
of the feeble condition of his health
News of his death is expected at any
time.
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Will Devote Considerable Space to
the Interstate Commerce Law.
Washington, Sept. 20 In his mes
sage to congress In December, it was
learned today, the president will de
vote considerable space to the Inter
state Commerce law and the railroad
rate law. President Taft has re
quested the attorney general, Secre
tary Nagel, Commissioner Prouty and
Representative Townsend to consider
the features of the Interstate Com
merce act, the Sherman anti-trust act
and the railroad rate act with the
view ot preparing needed amend
ments so as to make those acts con
form to changed conditions. The
president is stalsfied that these acts
are far from perfect and that if en
forced as expected by some of the
courts, great hardship would follow
and much harm be done to legitimate
enterprises.
This legislation, it is asserted, will
be pushed by the president, and these
facts he will place in his message can
not but have a potent influence, It Is
believed, on the national law-makers.
