THE "prF MAssACRE..
Evidence Before the Armenian Com
mission of Turkish Atrocities.

Evidence Before the Armenian Com
mission Of Turkish Atrocities.
CONSTANTINoPLE, April 20.-The COM
mission which has been sitting at Moosh,
Armenia, investigating the reports of
Turkish atrocities, has heard a number of
witnesses. respecting the so-oalled pit mas
sacre. According to the stories told by GER
tain Armenian refugees early in the year,
the village Of DjeIegoozan was the scene
Of a devilish outbreak of ferocity upon the
part Of Turks and Kurds. 1t was stated
that from 100 to 800 men, women and chill
dren were bayoneted by the Turkish SOL
diery and their bodies thrown into a pit
at Djelegoozan while many of the victims
were still alive.
In order to destroy the evidence Of this
massacre, it was added, the soldiers poured
petroleum on the bodies and set fire to
them, and when this failed to destroy all
traces of the crime, the soldiers diverted a
in order to wash away the putrefying mass
of half burned bodies.
The evidence received by the commits
sion on this subject is SO conflicting that
the commissioners have decided to reserve
expressing their opinion ON the subject until
they have the opportunity OF paying per-
sonal visit 10 Djellegoozan, when attempts
will be made to locate the pit.
Apart from this mutter the represents
tives of the powers are convinced of the
necessity of drastic reforms, and base their
action In demanding that the Turkish gov
eminent inaugurate reform measures more
on their unsatisfactory conditions and bad
administration, Of Asia Minor than on the
result Of the commissions inquiry.

caused by the falling of pile of lumber.
Four boys were buried beneath the mass
of timber. Workmen and others about the
place were soon on hand removing the
lumber and in a few minutes one of the
boys was rescued.
He was terribly mashed and bruised and
may die The work of rescuing them was
continued, and it is feared that one or
more of them may have been killed.
The affair created considerable excite
ment and attracted large crowd.
The police reserves from the fourth pre-
cinct were soon on hand, and the officers
assisted in the work of removing the lunl-
Der, as well, as keeping back the crowd.
Later Developments.
Later investigation into the accident
showed the children consisted of two girls
and boy.
The girls were daughters of Thomas
Scott of 713 I street southwest. Grace

CIV EN- TO THE JURY
End of the Long rawn-0ut Dom Sanity
So Ss5s Inquiry.
Mr.. WwrthlnEton Finishes His Adj
lress-Ycsterdny's Trouble Re-
ferred to-An Early Verdict.

BY far the largest attendance since the
institution of the inquiry to determine
the sanity of Oliver P. Dom was present
today when Mr.. r. Ross Perry, of counsel
for the opponents to the petition, con-
cluded his address to the jury, which was
begun yesterday afternoon. All was calm
after the storm which ragged at the open
ing of the proceedings yesterday.
Just before resuming his seat at the con-
clusion of his address today Mr.. Perry
took occasion to remark that during the
progress of the inquiry he had found it
necessary to protest against what he con-
sidered unprofessional conduct on the part
of counsel on the other side. and as re-
suit of the same friendship of many
years standing had been sacrificed.
The occurrence would remain a sorrow to
him throughout life. so said Mr.. Perry, and
while he regretted it deeply he felt that he
had but fulfilled his duty.
Mr.. Worthington then took the floor and
stated that he regretted exceedingly that
matters having no bearing on the case
had been brought into it. 81 have lived
here for thirty years." continued Mr.. Wor-
Ellington. land practiced at this bar for
twenty-five years, and this Is the first time
in my life that have been charged with
fslsifying. 1 shall say nothing now OF
the matters which brought about the I'M
fortunate occurrence of yesterday. What
may hereafter say in relation to it will be
outside of a court of justice and not in the
presence of women. 1t was not enough
that should be assailed and women insult
ed by counsel on the other side, but you
jurors have also been assailed a dozen
times"
Mr.. Worthington then began his closing
address to the jury.
The attorney for the petitioners finished
speaking at seven, minutes before O'Clock
and tho jury then retired.

Doubts About the Alliance.
THE GORDON DIVORCE.
The Wife Given N Full VindicntiOn by
Judge Hagner.

Judge Hagner today granted Lydia &C.
neva Gordon divorce from Fulton r. Cor
don because of the husbands adultery.
Mrs. Gordon was also given the custody of
the infant child, James Howell Gordon, the
husband being taxed with the costs of the
suit. his petition for divorce being dis
missed by the court.
In disposing of the divorce case today
Judge Hagner declared that Mrs. Gordon
charge of adultery had not been disproven
by the husband. and he also held that the
charge Of indebtedness against Mrs. Cor
don had been completely negatived by the
testimony in the case she. and Mr.. Lester
having been shown to be wholly innocent.
On behalf Of Mrs. Gordon, Mr.. W. A
Johnson declared that the wife asked
neither support for herself or child from
the husband, although the court intimate
/ that the husband would, If desired by Mrs.
Gordon, be compelled to provide for the
maintenance of both.
Mr.. Edmund French, on behalf of the
husband asked the court to allow the child
to be visited by it's father, but Mr.. Johnson
objected, claiming that the little ones
father had repudiated it. and Judge Hag-
ner refused to make the desired order. Mr..
Lester was much congratulated upon his
second vindication by court of law in the
matter.

They feel said one OF them this morning.
that, they would have had a better show
for prompt redress of their grievances
had they taken the matter to the Police
Court and had one of the responsible Of
ficers of the company arrested on a'charge
of maintaining nuisance. -..-.-
This course may yet be pursued, as many
of the residents are growing very I'M
patient over the delay and feel that they
cannot afford to wait until the attorney
for the District has rendered his opinion
on the question of whether the company
has right under its charter to maintain
this station. 49,
Mr.. Booraem said this morning that this
subject was being discussed last evening
by several Of the residents In the presence
of a policeman. who said that he would
be only too glad to serve any warrant
that might be sworn out. but, the police
man added in a significant manner, the
hands of the police are tied; we can do

Rumored Legislative Interference
With New England.

Special Dispatct to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatct to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, April 20.-Lower prices in
London resulted in an irregular opening in
this mornings stock market and encour-
aged a moderate extension of the reaction
airy movement Prices were not permitted
to decline beyond fractional limits, how
ever, the preponderance of bullsh senti-
ment bringing out purchasers at every de-
cline and forcing final figures slightly above
those first recorded. The character of the
trading at the close of business encourages
belief in further improvement next week.
Railroad earnings will not reflect the i'm
provement now believed to be going on in
nearly all sections of the country until fall
but the street, recognizing this fact, is
willing to marke up prices now in anticipa-
ton Of the showing to be made toward the
end Of the year. At present none but the
best features Of the situation are reflected
in the markets action and whether in fact
or sentiment the trading element believe
strongly in the long side of the market.
F Rumors of legislative Interference with
New England's reorganization scheme were
circulated during the morning, but the
price of the stock was given support by
those recently interested in the advance
and was not allowed to recede from open
ing figures. The present difficulty arises
out Of a bill introduced into the Rhode
Island legislature restricting the capitalza-
ton of the company to $25,001 a mile. 1t is
said that the passage of this resolution,
which originated in the corporations COM
mfttee. would defeat the present plan OF
reorganization and seriously impair ter
minal facilities. The whole proceeding
bears the ear marks Of dissatisfied mi
nority clique, whose wishes as to the
future management Of the company have
not prevailed.
The Changers were the active feature of
the railway list. substantial gains being
made to initial figures In every instance
The short interest in this group has been
greatly reduced during the past week. and
1t will be interesting to note to what ex-
tent the street is willing to take risks on
the long side of this class of securities.
| Sugar was the only active feature OF the
industrial department, the lower priced Sc
curities being dull and steady around first
prices. Realizing sales in the stock named
forced the price down to los IS, but later
buying restored early figures.
The bank statement reflects a gain of
Sc, 10000 in lawful money, the bulk of
which comes through the suhtreasury. The
loans are practically unchanged, so that
the gain in cash is fully reflected in the
increased deposits. AS large portion of
the gain is carried to the surplus account

Press, under date of Honolulu, April 49,
Minister Thurston returned from WASH
ington this morning. Soon after his arrival
he was closeted with Foreign Minister
Hatch. The latter official in an interview
with the Associated Press correspondent,
stated that Minister Thurston had not
been recalled. As far as he sknew, the
American minister had not received any
notification of recall or at least he had not

Minister Hatch defends Mr.. Thurston's
course while at Washington, and is conf

Minister Thurston had not been intrusted
with any communications in regard to the
rial of the rebels, SO ii is quite impossible
for him to make public any news In adj
vance of Secretary Gresham's advices from
here.
In the matter of the cable enterprise. in
which it is alleged Mr.. Thurston took part.
this government defends his course also,
and does not see how any improperly

Mr.. Thurston may not return to Wash

Pardon of Ashford.
The councils held a meeting on the 18th
instant, when 1t was announced that the
government had decided to pardon v. Ash
ford. The executive was unanimously in
favor of granting Mr.. Ashford's pardon on
condition that he leave the country. never
to return.
The councils sanctioned this conditional
pardon. Ashford has been suffering from
an affection of the spine, which, unless he
went to different climate for treatment,
must sooner or later result fatally. During
his confinement he has not been treated as
a prisoner. except that he was kept under
surveillance Every attention had been paid

government would gladly Danish Mai. Sew

it is the belief that there will be a larger

largely remunerative last year. The report
shows that for the season of 1S34-5 the ex-

Canada was 6.935,29S pounds. About the
same amount was sent to Great Britain d.
