| The refusal of the Sultan of Turkey tC
allow Consul Jewett to accompany the
Turkish commission for the purpose of in
vestigating the Armenian massacres only
goes to show what has been presumed by
many all along, that the Sultan didn
wish to have tie United States represented
upon the commission. There is sus-
picion, too, that the President was aware
| before he authorized Consul Jewett to
| go on this mission, that the Sultan would
| refuse to permit it. This would relieve
| the President from the blame of having
made no attempt in the interests of hu-
manity to discover the real truth about
what appears to have been one Of the most
horrible series of outrages perpetrated
since history began. If Consul Jewett
had accompanied the commission we
should not, perhaps, have been Obliged to
take our information colored by inter
ested Investigators. There can be little
doubt but what the outrages would never
have been perpetrated had not the Turkish
officials believed that the European powers
were so situated politically, that they
would not care to impose the just penal
ties for the outrages. 1t is within the
power ard it is also within the range of
their self imposed duty for England and
Russia to lay aside their grasping policy
sufficiently to enable them to put beyond
the power Of the unspeakable Turk, y
possibility for repetition of the atrocities
of Bulgaria and Armenia. The amount
of diplomacy used in influencing the Sui
tan to ask our government to participate
in the investigation, it is difficult to esti-
mate. 1t would have been in many respects
bad precedent for this country TO have
accepted that invitation There is little
doubt but what the invitation was ex-
tended in the belief that it would not be
accepted, but that if it was the precedent
so established would inure to the benefit
of the European powers. AS it is now
should the proposed investigation appear
to have been palpable whitewash our
government will have no opportunity to
protest should it be disposed to do so.

An Alabama widow was awarded
$40, 900 damages in q suit brought against
the Western Union Company on the
ground that her husbands murder re-
suited from the failure of a Western Union
messenger to deliver message sent to
him. The federal court has just set aside
the verdict as excessive The case is one
Of the most peculiar in the annals OF
crime. Robert C. Ross the man killed,
was shot last February by the four
brothers of Miss 4 nnie SHELTON, she hav-
ing told them that Ross had wrought her
ruin. The plan was to kill Ross on ride
across the country. A friend learning OF
the plot telegra phed him not to go.
Judge John B. Tolley of the ninth Ju-
dicial circuit court, and brother in-law
Of the Skeletons, ascertaining what had
been done telegraphed not to deliver
the message. 1t was not delivered and
Ross was killed by the brothers as
planned. Then Miss SHELTON declared
that Ross was innocent of the crime, that
she accused him to conceal the identity OF
her betrayer.
