Professor Minas Tcheras, editor of Ar
menia, in London, says he has letters from
Turkey telling Of more outrages. The
Turks have seized several parties of peas

the men and carried off the women. His

tured periodically with the bastinado and
hot irons, and during the recent cold wealth

FEDERAL SHIPPING LAWS
Four Mutinous Sailors VIII Contest
Their Legality
Legations That These Laws Are Unjust
Relics of the Barbarous Old
English Statutes

| SAN FRANCISCO, July lS.--One of the
most far-reaching legal battles ever in
stituted in the United States circuit court
was begun by Attorney W. H. Huston to-
day. II , took preliminary steps to contest
the federal shipping laws, which have for
generations been held as the absolute au-
thority over seamen.
The contest will be speedily carried to
the supreme court OF the United States,
because it involves the rights OF many
millions invested in shipping industries
on the one hand and the liberties. obli-
cations and social standing of the entire
seafaring population of America. and Of
sailors touching at American ports, on
tine other.
The suit in question is that by which
the four alleged mutineers OF the Arago.
who are now in the Alameda jail, seek
their liberty Oh the ground that they are
imprisoned under an old English law.
copied almost bodily into the federal
statutes in 1904 law which it is alleged
is contrary TO the genius of American in
stitutions and to the whole spirit OF mod
ern civilization. 1t involves the rights of
masters over servants, and back OF it is
contest between employers and en-
pioyees,a contest, the result OF which will
settle the status of nearly 100. 900 sailors
in America. The mutineers allege tnat
there is no validity nor justice III the
statute which confers on United States
marshals and other officers the right to
arrest them for refusing to do duty as
sailors. They allege that such statute
is tyrannical and unjust and that it is an
unlawful discrim ination against one class
OF the population-since men in o:her
gainful occupations cannot be imprisoned,
fined. impressed and coerced into service
for failure to comply with their con-
tracts. The shippers, on the contrary.
aliege that without some such restraint as
the law imposes, Byron's Dream of Dark
ness, wherein SHIPS sailorless. rotting on
the seas, would soon be realized; that
the American flag would soon be driven
from the sea in the era of chaos and pam
demonium that would ensue.
1t is the first time in American history
that court has been called upon to over
throw the admiralty and shipping laws
that, copied from ancient English tones,
have held undisputed sway over the men
who follow the sea for unbroken genera
tions.

mentarily expected.
