REpUslIcAN CLUB LEAGUE
Many Delegates ON Hana-contelt foE 'hs
Presideney.


DETROIT, July i2.-Delegates TO the
National League of Republican clubs
convention did not come in very rapidly
by to.day's trains, but a large influx is
expected tonight. Elaborate prepar-
atiOns are being made at the audi
torium in the way OF decorations and
all the hotel lobbles are beginning to
assume holiday appearance.
The two leading candidates for pres
Ident OF the league have opened head
quarters at the two leading hotels re-
spectlvely. Marcus PollaslSy, the popu-
lar Chicago lawyer, who seems TO be in
the lead, has established himself at the
Russell house. and Leonard j. craw-
ford, OF Kentucky, close second dis
penser OF hospitality, at the Cadillac.
Mr.. crawford's friends are relying on
the recent change Of political sentiment
in Kentucky TO secure for him a good
many votes, and they are confidently
claiming that he will be elected. The
combination at the Kentucky head
quarters appears TO be Crawford,
Chaplin and omaha"-Crawford for
president. Ora E. Chaplin, of Chicago,
for secretary, and Omaha for the next
convention. 3Ir. Crawford was one OF
the attorneys for Walling and jackson,
who were convicted OF the murder OF
Pearl Bryan. He has been the Repub-
lIcan candidate for attorney general OF
Kentucky. and is one OF the leading
lawyers of the state.
Abont % Kentuckians are on the field
now and many more expected 10 help
boom Mr. Crawfod's candidacy. Among
the prominent blue grass men already
here are d. II. Stlne. president OF the
Kentucky state league; ID. N. Comin-
gore. Insurance commissioner OF Ken
lucky; Augustus Z. Wilson. OF Louis
VILE, prominent candidate for United
States senator when Deboe was elected,
and John W. Yerkes, national commit
teeman from Kentucky.
The candidacy OF Marcus Poiiasky Is
especially popular in Detroit and Mich
igan on account OF his long residence In
the state. His friends are claiming for
him the solid Michigan delegation. The
presidency and the location Of the next
convention are almost the only topics Of
interest discussed around the hotels in
connection with this convention. The
resolutions adopted will doubtless Be an
endorsement OF last years 81. Louis

held tomorrow at 10 o'clock.

PARIS, July l2.-Pere charmetant
director general OF the French mission In
the Levant, has received by way OF the
Caucasus and Tlfils report prepared by
n number of Armenian nOiables and
Gregoran bishops on the situation ln
Armenia
II took the messenger who had the
document In charge nearly three months
to set through the difficulties and dan.
gers along the Turkish frontier, which
was carefully guarded against all Ar
menlans. or Armenian sympathizers.
The report, which fills thirty printed
pages goes fully into the situation.
According to its authors. the Turks in
Armenia, fearing European interyen.
ton. have abandoned the old practices OF
wholesale massacre, but during the las,
year there have been clandestlne butch
cries and most terrible prosecutions, es-
peclally in the more remote provinces.
The Turks openly boast that they have
sworn to wipe out the whole Armenian
race.
The document recites in detail various
forms OF persecution. 1t appears that
the tax collectors seize the Inhabitants
IL they do not pay everything demanded.
Women are taken through the streets
with chains around their necks and kept
for days without food. In some cases
they are fastened to pillars, head down
wards. Freezing water Is thrown over
them, or they are beaten until the blood
runs. In other cases their hands are tied
behind their backs and then cats, first
made furious. are thrown upon their
bosoms. Often they are burned In varl-
GUS parts Of their bodies with red-hot
irons.
"All the highways are guarded 50 as
to prevent emigration. Not single day
passes without our hearing Of or Witness
ing somewhere within our unfortunate
provinces some acts Of fendish cruelty.
The Turks and Kurds enter the houses
Of Armenians In gangs. bind the men and
then outrage their wives, sisters and
daughters before their eyes"
The document concludes with the de-
spairing cry "our hope ia dying out. Goo
help US. May Europe have pity upon
