NAZIM WASHA SHOT TO DEATH
IN HIS OFFICE.
? ? i
YOUNG TURKS TO FIGHT
After Much Disorder and Kxcitement
In Constantinople Their Party ,
Captured the Government After
Killing Nazim Pasha, Former Com- <
mander of the Turkish Army. ,
Fighting occurred at several places
in Constantinople on Saturday morn- ,
ing. A dozen or more persons have
been wounded and many arrests have
been made. Great public excitement
has followed the killing of Nazim
Pasha, tho former war minister and
commander of the Turkish array, who
was shot during public demonstrations
in Constantinople Friday night.
Talaatt Bey, the new minister of
the interior, informed the European
embassies that all measures necessary
to insure the security of the
city had been taken. He also addressed
circulars to the provincial
governors, explaining the reasons for
the change in the government, and
calling upon people to lend their moral
and material aid to the government.
"We are determined," he
said, "to defend the interests of the
country, now face to face with the
prospect of a resumption of hostilt
ties.''
Enver Hoy, who has taken such a
prominent part in the overthrow of
Kiamil Pasha's cabinet, is the popular
hero of the day.
Nazim Pasha's death ,by a shot
from the revolver of Envoy Hey or
Talaatt /Hey is believed to have been
accidental. The two officers, in order
to protect themselves from the
fire of Nazim's aide de camp, who had
shot at them from a window, drew
their revolvers and emptied them at
him. A bullet struck and killed Nazim
Pasha who was seated inside the
room.
Tho scene outside the offices of the
Grand Vizier when the leaders of the
Young Turk party arrived mere m
the afternoon was <ery dramatic.
There was a considerable crowd present
and great enthusiasm was manifested
when some one unfurled a flag
and waved it.
The excitement became tense when
Enver, mounted on a white charger,
came in view, accompanied by seveial
Turkish staff officers. As he dismounted
before the door and made
his request for an audience with me
Grand Vizier, the gates closed as
though automatically. The cammandant.
of Constantinople himself stood
on guard and refused to allow any
one to enter except Enver Bey and
Talaatt Bey.
Accompanied by the oommancian?,
they walked straight to the council
chamber, where most of the ministers
v,ere gathered and without prelim
i .anes caiiea upon me cuDinei w respn
from office. The demand seemed
to be more or less expected, for
Kiamil Pasha immediately sat down
and wrote out his resignation. Enver
Hey took it and proceeded to the
Sultan's palace amid the cheers of
the crowd.
The Sultan at first, was disinclined
to accept the resignation as genuine,
but after sending a messenger to the
Grand Vizierate and obtaining confirmation,
he called for Mahmoua
Shefket. Pasha and promptly appointed
liiin Grand Vizier.
\aziir. Pasha's Death.
Nazim Pasha, the commander of
the Turkish army, received his death
wound while expostulating with a
crowd of demonstrators for having
become embroiled in a conflict at the
Grand Vizierate. The official version
of the affray, which is termed a
"regrettable incident," was issued
Friday night.
When the demonstrators, it. says,
headed by Enver Hey. one of the
leaders of the Young: Turks' party,
penetrated the Grand Vizierate in an
attempt to enter the Council chamber
they were stopped by Fafiz Bey,
aide-de-camp to the Grand Vizier,
who, drawing his revolver, fired a
shot at them. The aide-decamp of
Nazim Pasha also fired at the crowd,
his bullet striking Mehmed Nedjif,
one of the demonstrators. The demonstrators
thereupon replied and
Nazim's adie-de-camp was instantly
killed.
Nazim Pasha, who was in the
Council chamber, heard tbo shots
and rushed outside. Facing the demonstrators
he upbraided them, calling
them ill-mannered curs. While
he was speaking a bullet cut short
his remarks and he fell dead.

of Nazim was unpremeditated, and
much mkrolted, but under the circumstances,
unavoidable. They say
the Unionists bore no ill-will toward
Nazim, wlioso open and soldierly
charach r made him respected oven
by his political opponents. All the
old ministers were set at liberty Friday
and permitted to return to their
homes.

FLURRY IN THE HOUSE
SENATOR TILLMAN ASKED TO
PROVE CHARGES.
In Reference to Corrupt Influence of
Railroad Attorney on the Legislature.
The House on Thursday passed 'Mr.
Rembert's resolution asking Senator
Tillman to submit proof of his
charge that a certain railroad attorney
controlled the general assembly,
contained in the Senator's reply to a
special message from the governor.
The Senator's reply has not yet been
rnnH In Ihfi hntlRA.
W. A. James of Lee, suggested
that the Senator's charges of corruption
concerned only the members of
the house who had been re-elected.
Mr. Wyche of Newberry opposed
the adoption of the resolution on the
grounds that it was of no interest
to the people of tho State, being a
mere squabble. Mr. Moore of Abbeville
advocated the passage of the
resolution.
Mr. Stevenson of Chesterfield called
to the attention of tho house that
tho message of tho governor which
"started tho row" had been reportod
by tho house, judiciary committee
and that it would be well to dispose
of both senate's resolution and the
report of tho committee. The judiciary
committee recommended that
tho governor's message urging restriction
of newspapers and Senator
Tillman's reply to it be printed in
the journal. The house agreed to
tho committee's recommendation.
Mr. Ashley of Anderson advocated
the adoption of Mr. Rembert's resolution.
Mr. Rembert's resolution was
adopted 011 an aye and nay vote of 7 4
to 3 8.
Mr. Wyche of Newberry moved to
reconsider the motion whereby the
house agreed to 'Mr. Rembert's resolution.
He said that the journal of
the house should not be used for political
spite and vituperations. Mr.
Rembert moved to table the motion
and the house agreed to do so, but
after a deal of parliamentary manoeuvering
the debate was bogun
again.
Mr. Nicholson of Greenwood paid
that while the house seemed eager to
resent criticism by Senator Tillman,
it had not been so sensitive of criticism
by the governor. He said that
the house should go slow before t
made any demands on the senior Senator.
He said there was nothing in
the language of the Senator which
said that the legislature had been
corrupted.
The house refused to reconsider
the vote whereby the Rembert resolution
was agreed to.
GRUESOME DISCOVERY.
Body of a Woman Was Removed
From Grave in Cemetery.
A Chattanooga dispatch says intense
excitement prevailed in that
city Monday as a result of a gruesome
discovery in Sorest Hill cemetery,
the most popular burial ground
of the city. Early visitors discovered
near one of the driveways the
body of a woman lying on top of a
grave which had been opened during
the night. The corpse was that of
Mrs. Carl Scherer, who died in St.
Elmo on Christmas day. Ghouls had
opened the grave some time during
Saturday night, removed the body,

body on the mound, the head resting
on a fresh wreath which had been
taken from a nearby grave. The
cemetery was closed ana a guard
placed at the gates while an investigation
was made. If there is any
clue to the miscreants the officials of
the cemetery refuse to make it public.
No one is willing to advance a
theory as to the motive for the
crime.

LITTLE CHILD'S BODY FOUND.
?
Chattooga Diver Gives up its Dead
and Solves Mystery.
A dispatch from Walhalla says the
mystery of the disappearance of the
little four-year-old child from the
Tine Mountain, Ga., section has been
solved.
Last. Monday week the littlo body
was washed to the banks of the
Chattooga river, and it was discovered
by people in that section, who,
though having given up active search
for the child, were still alert for any
clue that might lead to Its finding.
J. C. Powell, of the Russell section,
was in Walhalla Tuesday, and reported
the facts as above given. The
body, it is said, was in a fair state
of preservation, though it is now
three weeks since the child disappeared.
?
While the mystery of the whereabouts
of the child is cleared up, still
it. is cause for wonder and speculation
as to how the little one got in
to the river, as the cnattOOga is oetween
two and two and a half miles,
at its nearest point from the home
of the child's father, John Owens, *

GLAZE ELECTED JUDGE 4
? i I
HE WAS NOT A CANDIDATE FOE] I
THE HIGH HONOR. |] J I
Had Positively Declined to Allow the
Use of His Nmm for the Port*
Horn.
The following In connection with r
the election of Major W. L. Glace as
Judge of the First Circuit will be |
read with interest by his friends. It 11
ia from the Columbia Record and |
shows that Major Glaze was in no \ j
sense a candidate for the high and \
honorable position which has been
thrust upon him. We can corrob- .
orate every word the Record says
about the matter, as Major Qlaze
made the same statement to us the
night before he was elected. Here
is what The Record says:
W. L. Glaze was Wednesday elected
judge of the first judicial circuit
on tho third ballot. There were J:
four others in the race?Octavus
Cohen of Berkeley, E. J. Dennis of j
Berkeley, P. T. Hildebrand of Orangeburg
and M. S. Connor of St.
Georgo. The name ok Mr. Cohen
was withdrawn after the first ballot;
and those of Messrs. Hildebrand
and Connor after the second, leaving!
the third ballot between Messrs. Dennis
and Glaze. Of the 159 votes cast >
on tho ballot, Mr. Glaze received 87 i
votes and Mr. Dennis 72 a majority I
of 15 for Mr. Glaze. .ladgo Glaze
succeeds Judge Copes, who resigned.
Major W. L. <^\rz3 has been for
many years a pro. .'nont lawyer at
the Orangeburg baf\ He was for* ^
morly the partner oj the late Judge
Izlar in the firm of Jzlar, Glaze &
Hcrbort. Ho has been for many
years the senior of the firm of Glaze
& Herbert.
In spite of the very flattering election
by the general assembly when
he was not a candidate before that
body, and after positively declaring
that he would not be a candidate, nor
accept the position if offered to hitn,
there is yet some doubt about hla acceptance
of the judicial ermine, and
his friends have been able to secure
from him no more than a promise
that he will not now state that he will
not accept the election and serre the
state.
(Many friends, including those who
were urging and advocating the elec- j
tion of Mr. Octavus Cohen, have been
busy since the election in an effort
to persuade Major Glaze to accept, as (
they feel that in Major Glaze the
state would have an ideal judge.
Major Glaze is in the city for the
purpose of attending the meeting of
the state bar association, in which
ho is an active member. To a reporter
for The Record ho said that were
ho ten years younger, and in good
health, ho would have no hesitancy
in accepting the very great honor
that has been conferred on him, but
he doubts his physical ability to
stand the strain that would bo put
upon him in the judgeship. He recognizes
the duty of any son of the
State to respond to a call for service,
if he bo able to give it, and such A.
questions as these, rather than personal
inclination, govern and will
irovern him in this decision.
Tho joint assembly convened for
the election of judges, superintendent
of penitentiary and three directors v
of the same institution. a ?
Gen. James put in nomination for
judge of the first circuit the name ot
Octavus Cohen of Berkeley, which
was numerously seconded. Senator
Baney nominated E. J. Dennis of
Berkeley, with seconds from all
sides. Senator Lide placed in nomination
the name of P. T. Hlldobrand
of Orangeburg, which caused many
endorsements. Senator Gross of
Dorchester put in nomination the
name of iM. S. Connor of St. George,
and he was strongly seconded. On
ballot the name of W. B. Glaze of
Orangeburg was introduced by Senator
Carlisle of Spartanburg.
On tho first ballot 161 votes were
cast, 81 being necessary for election.
The result of tho ballot was as follows:
