Turkey May Shut Out All Greeks-- Making Registration. Constantinople, * * June 10.--A regis tration of all Greeks living in Turkey was begun to-day by the Turkish au- thorities; preparatory, it is said, to their expulsion. This action by the government is one of a long series of recent moves indicative of the increasing bitterness between Turkey and Greece, which, it is: generally believed, will speedily end in war. The Cretan disoute, it is ex- weted, will eventually be the pretext i war. The Greeks insist on having the island and the Turks will not give it up. It is admitted that the island is not worth much and that Turkey's control over it is merely nominal, but the surrender of even this slender claim would be fatal to the Young Turkish government's prestige with its own people.

The Chronicle says there are obvious difficulties in the way of the dukes ap- pointment, but there will be general satisfaction if the king and his minis- ters do not deem them insuperable. -------- AN INSANE WOMAN Swallows a8 Handful of Sharp Pins and Dies.

While there was no doubt the pins enused her death the doctors were anxious to ascertain actual facts and data, as the cuse is a most upusual one, HELD AS PRISONER COACH IN FUNERAL PROCESSION | gra PENNED 18, > ni -- And a Heavy Train Smashed Into it, Killing Three Persons and Fatal. ly Injuring s Fourth, Haverstraw, N.Y., June 10.--Rev.

Chicago, June 10.--Chargi has been defrauded of about $2,000,000 on repair work in four years, the [illinois Central Railroad company 'has filed suit in the circuit court for" an' accounting against four of its for- officers. The bill, which alle conspiracy to defraud, names the lowing men : Orlando 8. Kieth, former superinten- dent of transportation. Joseph E. Buker, former assistant superintendent of machinery. William Renshaw, former superinten- dent of machinery. John M. Taylor, storekesper, The bill against the four former department heads alleges that the men witered into a conspiracy in June, 1900, and that, from that date until April 1910, the railroad company was defrauded out of nearly $2,000,000. The defendants are alleged to have re- presented to the corporation that the company's repair work could be done more cheaply by independent concerns than at the railroads own shops. When contracts were given to certain independent concerns, the bill charges, the railroad company began paying a long series of large over-charges, from which certain superintendents are de- clared to have obtained thousands of dollars, that it ol- former general TO ISSUE DECREE: Madrid, June 10. -- "the Spanish government an- nounces an impending decree abolishing the article of the constitution which forbids non-Catholies worshipping publicly in Spain.

It is due to Premier Canalejas and other liberal statesmen who found King Alfonso sympathetic with the proposal.

Carter turned up in San Antonio the other day, after a mys- terious absence of twenty-five years, and, hunting up an old friend "Jack" McCarthy, made inquiries concerning Mrs. Carter and three children whom he desérted at the time of his disap- pearance. McCarthy's reply was that Mrs. Car- ter spd" Pwo of the children were liv- ing in Toronto, Canada, and the oth- er child, a daughter, was married to a wealthy mining 'man named Horace McMillen, and was living in Chicago. The deserted wife of Carter coming to believe herself - a widow, had re married several years ago, her second husband being T. T. Graves, a retired [business man of Toronto.

The Pullman porter told him that he had been put on the train by two men at San Antonio.

Went to Hear Ingersoll--Speaks as a Learner, Not as a Teacher--Want- ed Simply to Know the Truth. New York, June 10.~The Sun says: "I heard Ingersoll," wrote Goldwin Smith in a personal letter to the edi- tor of this newspaper. "He was ex- tremely clever, but he did little good, and has left little trace," Again, in sending one of the last of the remarkable series of personal let ters to the Sun in which he discussed during a period of several years the greatest problems that concern the human mind, the destiny of man, the changing standardy of religious faith, the immortality of the soul, Goldwin Smith said of that particular grticle: "¥ believe nothing willbe found in it impious by any man who does not hold--as no men of science, 1 suppose, do, and even Gladstone did not--by the inspiration and infallibility of Genesis, My special object, in fact, was rather to show before 1 went out of the workl that 1 was not without religion. . "1 feel that my state is still doubt ful, and 1 do not wish to go out of the world as a reputed enemy of re ligion. This leads me to address tc lyou one more letter--not a very long one,~and to feel that its appearance as early as it would be convenient to you ix on my own account to be de sired," This last letter was written afte the accident to Mr. Smith. There i surely no impropriety now in our pub- lishing these private explanations of his attitude toward the subjects he was discussing and the audience he was addressing. They show the urgency of Goldwin Smith's desive to be misunderstood by no man as regards the character of his quest. This is The dast paragraph of the article referred to. in the foregoing assage urging prompt publication : "Morality, by which man must live if he is a social being and society is to hold together, may well be taken lin fact, identified with pure and re tional religion. If-the author of man's nature is God, morality is the wor of God. Nor does this scem to ex clude a truly religious - frame of mind or even fraternity in 'spirit pious, Credo Quia impossible est is surely, when scrutinized, not an expression of rational piety, of piety likely to pre sent a firm foundation for character, or, perhaps, to be very acceptable to the God of Truth. HH this seems pre sumptuous, let me say ohce more that I speak as a learner, not as a teach- er, and that a man in extreme old age has little time left in which to learn." "No purpose but truth," is the only phrase that describes justly the animus of this departed intellect, so bonest, so crystal clear, so reverent, so dis- cerning, so gentle and humane. The estate of the late Goldwin Smith is »aid to amount to approximately 21,000,000. It 18 understood generous provision ia made in the will for the oli servants of tks Grange, some o whom have served for over thirty years. The oldest of these is the butler, Will jam Chinn, who has lived in the house for fifty-two years. Although not generally known, Gold- win Smith lived generously and gave still more gererously. He shaped out a policy of investing his money in the way of helping people in moderate circumstances to buy homes of their own. As a matter of principle, he many times lent people up to within $50 of the purchase price of the homes they were buyiug at extremely low rates of interast, und it is a matter of interest to know that he never lost a dollar through this generous philan- thropy. : The body will lie in state in the drawing room at the Grange this af- fernoon, when the general public will be permitted to see the remains. Al details for the funeral on Saturday have been completed. The service at Convocation Hall will be conducted by Kevs. R..J. Moore and Harrie Wal- lace.
