inner door when he was interrupted and
placed under arrest by Special Policeman
T. J. Hanley, a private watchman on duty
in the reighborhood. Mr.. Hanley had no

patrol wagon. In court today he entered a

DIR. HAMLIN'S STATEMENT.
Said to Be a Mistake by Secretary
Olney.

The Secretary of State this afternoon au-
thorized the statement that the assertion
made by DIR. Cyrus Hamlin that American
women in Haskeui fed from massacre not
finding protection under the American flag
Is entire mistake: that the flag was
neither furied nor insulted at that point,
aHG that not American man or child
as at Haskeui during tie massacre.
Equally untrue, he says. is the statement
recently made in New York by Miss Grace
kimball that only the English flag is re-
spected in Turkey. During the massacre
at ConStantinople, the secretary says she
hurried by other flags and found protec-
ton urder her own flag, and the escort of
the American consul general.
She passed through the street where men
were being killed by mobs and went safe
ly under our flag up the Bosphorus
