Armenia, investigating the reports of Turk

Armenian refugees early in the year, the
village of DjeIligoozan was the scene OF a
hendish outbreak of ferocity on the part Of
Turks and Kurds. tt was stated that from
one hundred to three hundred men, women
and children were bayoneted by the Turkish
soldiers and their bodies thrown into pit
while many of the victims were still alive.
In order to destroy the evidence of this
massacre, ii was added, the soldiers poured
petroleum the bodies and set fire to the

INDIANA OIL NOW 81
PRODUCT OF THE OHIO FIELD ALSO
TAKES A TUMBLE.
Price of Credit Balances Reduced by
the Standard Company to $2.25-
Little or No Speculation.

LIMA, O., April 20.--The Lima oil market
dropped ten cents to-day in common with
the Eastern markets, Tiona oil dropped
from $40 to s. per barrel. Pennsylvania
dropped to $225. Corning to $40, and New
Castle and GAINESVILLE to 81. Lima dropped
from s1.27 to SLY for North Lima oil and
from SIPS to $1.15 for South Lima oil, and
Indiana dropped back to 81. The decline has
had the effect of rushing a large amount
of oil into the Standard lines all over the
Lima field, producers being anxious to sell
at the present figure they fear it will
not go any higher. The belief is general
throughout the oil field that the advance
in Lima oil will stay and that the price will
be in the neighborood of 81 from now
This belief is what has stimulated drilling
throughout the field. The rapid decline in
stocks in Pennsylvania, the producers argue,
is what caused the advance 1t is q ract
that the Standard company has not erected
any IS, coo barrel tanks in this field for
several years and the belief is that the
majority of the several hundred tanks dis
tributed over the Lima field are empty,
their contents having been used to run the
big refinery here as well as the Standards
big works at Clean, N. Y, and Cleveland.
A year ago before the production of the
field was great as at present the Stand
ard often turned it's lines into tanks before
they were completed. The work of drilling
goes on with the same briSkneSs as before,
operators and producers being confident
Lima oil will remain around Tue 81 mark.
