ALLEGED DEAL WITH BYRNRS,
Whereby Counsel Golf Let the

Shown to Have Been Impossi-
ble-The Society's Attorney
Was Present and Active All
the Time.

ALBANY, n. Y, January LIN an
interview this evening with an Ascot
ated Press reporter, Senator Daxow said
be had no answer to make to the criti-
cisms upon the work of his committee
contained in DR.. Parkhursts manifesto.
Obviously the best reply was to point to
the record of the committee and It's re-
suits, and says:
'By their work ye shall know them. !"
Senator Lexow said he had too high
a regard for DR.. Parkhurst to believe
that he is actuated by any brtthe high
est and purest motives In what he says
or does.
But" continued Senator Lexow, sit
is strange indeed that when the
CRUCIAL POINT WAS REACHED
and Superintendent Byrnes was on the
stand, as every body knew he would be-,
last Saturday, nothing was suggested
that was not done. And yet this critl-
cism. Throughout the entire examina'
tiop Mr.. Moss stood at Mr.. Goff's side
and co-operated In the conduct OF the
INQUIRY. 1t is unnecessary TO add any
thing TO this"
The Senator then said: 'As to deal
between Counsel Goff and Byrnes, 1t Is
plain that one could not be effected un-
less through the co operation OF ma
iority of the committee acting In con-
junction with all the counsel. Inc
statement of this proposition is the best
refutation Of the charge.
LET anyone suggest question thst

made, an indictment that was not
brought, anything. In short, taat was

"To my mind the meat OF the state
ment is to br found in the declaration
that the Senate has uncovered all cor

Eastern Turkey, places the number OF
slaughtered Armenians at fully $4,000.
1t is written by q man in whom tho
highest confidence is placed ard por-
tions are too horrible TO repeat. The
writer, in part, says:
"The Armenians, oppressed by
Kurds and Turks. said we cannot pay
taxes to both Kurds and government.
Plundered and. oppressed by the
Kurds, they resisted them; there were
some killed. The false reports were
sent to Constantlpople that the Armen-
iaps were In arms In rebellion. Orders
were sent TO the Mushir at Erzengan.
TO EXTERsINATE THEM.
The orders read before the army col
lected in haste from all the chief tribes
of Eastern Turkey were: Whoever
spares men, women or children, Is dis
loyal.' The region was surrounded by
so diers, and 10000 kurds also are said
TO have been massed there. Then they
advanced upon the centre, driving In
the people like flock OF sheep. and
con tinued thus to ad vance for days.

shot down or butcher ed like sheep. Prob
ably when they were set upon In thls
way, some tried TO save their lives and
resisted Ia self defense. Many who
could. fed In all directions, but the ma
iorlty were slain. The most probable
estimate is $1,000 killed, 80 villages
pluudered, razed and burned.

TWENTY PER CENT.
Plate Glass Prices Will Fall With the New
Year-Result Of Failure TO Form a
Combination.

PITTsBURG, January with the
New Year will commence the war TO
the death between the plate glass man
ufacturers OF this country. A cut OF
20 per cent from existing prices will be
made by the Diamond Plate Glass Co.,
of Kokomo, Ind, and the Pittsburg
Plate Glass Company. The cut Is
caused by the recent conference In
Pittsburg OF plate glass manufacturers.
At this meeting an attempt was made to
form a com bination of the plate glass
interests but 1t finally fell through.
C. b. Mclean, OF the Pittsburg Plate
Glass Company, in speaking OF this
meeting, said:
1--WE were to increase our stock to
$40, 900, 600 and buy the other plants.
An agreement was finally reached and
these were the valuations: The Pitts
burg Plate Glass Company plant, S5,-
300, 900; the Diamond plants, So, 600, 900;
the Howard works. 100000, s0d the
Charleroi and Crystal plants, $1,000, 900
apiece.
Another meeting was held later In
Cleveland at which the Howard Plate
Glass Company refused to sell. although
the President had agreed TO take $780,
600 for the plant at the confer
ence. Consequently the combination
was declared off. We have been notified
that the Diamond Company would cut
the price Of plate glass 20 per cent. to-
morrow. We will make the same cut
and the price OF glass will be 29]3 cents
per square foot. The present price Is
about 80 cents. The effect OF this cut
is, that all the small plauts will have to
shut down. The only two that can az
ford to run are the Diamond and our
own. We cannot tell where this will
end. The price Of plate glass has been
coming down right along. Two years
ago IL was worth 50. 30 square foot. L
cannot predict what complications will
follow this reduction"

Senator Wilson of Hot Springs, n
of the very best legislators ever hon
ored by the confidence of South Da-
kota, called briefly Oh Monday. The
senator is not loaded with the common
jokes indicating u low standard ofcom-
mon sense among the states represen-
t~atives, but rather appears to regard
himself as having fallen into excellent
legislative company. President pro
tenn. of the senate and prominent on
it's appropriation committee, his freely
expressed opinion that there will be
fair appropriations for the state edu-
cational institutions has significance.
He proved an exceedingly interesting
practical adviser at the irrigation con-

Representative Dickover and Sena-
tor Wilson will receive the plaudits of
the great mass of taxpayers in Fall
River county for introducing bills
legalizing the taxes of 1889, 80, 81, 80
and '93 in this county. A goodly num-
Der of the grangers and small property
owners have paid their taxes for these
years, and now there is an effort being
made by those who own large land in
terests, through their attorney. to es-
cape paying their just proportion of
the expense of county government by
trying by some hook OF crook to find
some technical indiscrepancy in the
levy, assessment or equalization, by
which the taxes for those years may be
declared invalid by the court and they
may go scot free from taxation. 1t is
their fortune or misfortune to be over
loaded with valuable real estate, and
while it may be hard to pay up the tax
it is nevertheless just, as we are all
equal before the law. If Fall River
county's back taxes were paid up we
would be in better shape than any of
our neighbors. There is little doubt
but that the bills will pass and the
taxes legalized.
