The Department OF ate has just receive
from Min Terrell report, dated july
o. which throws some light on the report
iaphed from ConstantiI ople lew ua'S
ago saying that American citizens had peen

this case. says that numerous Armen'auS
were arrested. as 1t was said there was ht'ie
doubt that Garabed was murdered py 'nem.
Among those ARE ted was naturalizeu
Amer can citizen, who had teen student Nv

Sent Up For Forging Tickets.

James M. Davis of Fishkill, n. Y, has
just been convicted of forging New York
Central ~ Hudson River Railroad tick
cts, and sentenced by Judge Cullen to
five months Imprisonment in the Albany
penitentiary, lie has already spent sew
en- months in the Duchess county Jail,
awaiting trial. About a year ago, Davis
and relative named Seward Vert, were
arrested for forging New York Central
tickets. After indictment, Vert pleaded
guilty and was duly sentenced. Davis
stood trial and was convicted. The fOrg-
ing and manipulation of railroad tickets
by dishonest persons has given the tray
cling public, as well as the railroads, a
great deal of annoyance, and has been
the cause of great deal of loss to the
railroads.
There seems to be growing feeling
that the recommendation of the Inter
State Commerce Commission, that Ma
tional law be enacted, prohibiting the
sale of railroad tickets by unauthorized
persons, should be acted upon by Con
gress. 1t would seem that, as railroad
companies can be and are held response
bic for the acts of their agents, this is
only reasonable requirement. In Eng
land and in Canada laws of this charac-
ter are in force, and the forging of rail
road tickets is unknown there.-Albany
