PHILLIPPOLIS, BULGARIA, July 31.
A political revolution has broken out in
Constantinople and fighting has been go
ing on for nineteen hours between rival
factions, according to cipher dispatches
received here today.
Scores have been killed in rioting In the
native section of the Ottoman capital.
The rioting factions are led by army of
ficers and this outbreak is believed to be
the first step in a general revolution
hlnied to cause the downfall of the pres
ent sultan.
The Turkish government is exercising
the strictest censorship over the telegraph
lines, and, therefore, all information that
comes as to the real situation in Constan
tinople has to be sent in code.
A revolution has been plotted for sev
eral months by the committee of union
and press, the executive body of the
Young Turks.” Leaders have secretly
sent couriers to the provincial branches
ordering preparations for al! to be ready
"to shed blood.”

WANTS ELECTRIC
BOARD ABOLISHED
Turner, Condemned by City
Officials, Says He Had Right
to Give Towers Permit.
City Electrician R. C. Turner, In a
written communication to council to
day. urged that the board of electrical
control be abolished, declaring It to be
"merely an ancient and honorable body
which seldom meets and acts only for
the purpose of condemning the present
city electrician, who Is elected by ths
people and has the Interest of the peo
ple at heart.”
Turner said two of the members of
the board, R. M. Clayton, chief of con
struction, and W. B. Cummings, fire
chief, were ministerial officers like him
self, and that they had no right to crit
icise the actions and policies of his of
fice. He said that Chief Cummings was
"sore on him” because he (TTirner) had
Insisted that the Star Electric Com
pany be given a full opportunity to bld
on the city’s new fire alarm system.
Instead of giving the contract for $50,-
000 to the Gamewell company without
any delay. He said that his action
would save the city $20,000. ■
Sent Protest to Board.
Turner first submitted his communi
cation to the board of electrical con
trol at a special meeting today, called
as the result of the meeting yesterday
when the board revoked a permit is
sued to the Central Georgia Transmis
sion Company by Mr. Turner to erect a
68,000-volt electric power line on Hill
street and Milton avenue. Members
of the board declared that he had Is
sued the permit absolutely without au
thority.
Among the assertion# made in his
statement are the following: That he
continually grants such permits with
out having them questioned; that the
privilege of erecting such high powe’’
lines has been granted to the Georgia
Railway and Power Company and that
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany has built some suoh high tension
lines without any permit.
Sanders McDaniel, representing the
transmission company, urged the board
to reconsider Its action of yesterday
and give his company authority to con
tinue the construction of its line.
The board postponed action to give
the company an opportunity to adjust
the matter with the protesting property
owners.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
FOR EXAMINATION OF
ELEVATOR OPERATORS
Elevator boys in all of the public
buildings in Atlanta will be required to
stand an examination before a city of
ficial and receive licenses before they
are allowed to run an elevator. If the
recommendations of the public safety
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
are carried out by the.city council.
The public safety committee of the
Chamber of Commerce was recently or
ganized at the suggestion of several
members who believed that there ought
to be some group of men In Atlanta
who wguld be on the lookout for public
safety. They will recommend In strong
est terms to council the passing of an
ordinance requiring elevator boys to be
examined and licensed, and thus pre
venting the hiring of Incompetent ones.
In making their report to the executive
committee of the chamber, the fact that
recently several serious accidents in
elevators have been caused by impa
tience and carelessness on the part of
the elevator operators was pointed out.
BIRDS NOW SINGING
RAGTIME. SCIENTIST
SAYS IN A LECTURE
CHICAGO. July 31.—Henry Oldys,
formerly of the United States biologi
cal survey, in a lecture in the Uni
versity of Chicago which is causing
comment today, said that birds are pos
sessed of an esthetic sense similar to
that of the human being.
“Birds dance in the air, do ‘High
land flings’ and the more sedate evolu
tions with the most perfect rhythm,”
said Oldys. “They sing a ‘bjrd rag*
time’ and at other times snatches of
song which greatly resemble our grand
opera. There is a blackbird that has a
song almost parallel to a Wagnerian
opera: the. robin is best In so-called
popular songs, while the wood thrush
sings a song of four distinct verses.”
The speaker closed with the state
ment that birds sometimes copy from
man, and that man could learn a great
deal by copying from the bird.
