the scene, and Mr.. Gregory was re-
quested to return the sketch immedi-
.ately. 1t was sent back and with It
.a note that while it might answer in
some respects, more appropriate sub

APPEARS TO Be A
POLITICAL MURDER
President of Armenian Revolu-
tionary Society in Lon
don Is Killed.
MURDER ONE IN A SERIES
The Victim, Sagouni, Was Wealthy and
Conservative, and 1t Is Be-
t:ved Radicals Among His
People Are Guilty.

London, Oct. 29.-Sagatel Sagouni, the
president of the Armenian revolution
ary society in London, was murdered in
suburb at Nunhead late yesterday.
The crime created a sensation as it has
every appearance Of political char
acter and has been preceded by the
assassination Of other officials of the
same society on the continent. The
murderer, who was unknown, escaped.
Sagouni, who only returned to Lon
don yesterday after settling up the af-
fairs of an associate in Switzerland,
who was recently assassinated by stab
ping, was entering his residence when
man rushed across the road and fired
four shots at Sagouni in quick success
sion; the last bullet entering the region
of the heart. The murderer, who ap-
peared to be foreigner, fled.
Ihe only clues to the man in possess
sion OF the authorities are felt hat
and silver plated revolver, both made
IN New York, which he dropped in his
flight. The murdered man, who was a
mining engineer, became wealthy in the
caucasus. and devoted his money to
the Armenian cause. His society was
entlrely passive and opposed to vio-
lence, and it is thought this attitude in
splred the advanced section of the Ar
menlans with a desire for vengeance,
the latter claiming that Sagouni's So
ciety devoted funds to charity which
would have been better applied to vio-
lent remedies. Sagouni is said to have
moved to England from New York
early in 1902
Little Political Significance.
Boston, Oct. 27.-The murder of Sag
atel Sagouni, president of the Ar
menlan Revolutionary society in Lon
don, is not regarded as being of great
political significance by the Armenians
In this city, but rather as the result Of
bitter feeling which exists between
the two factions within the revolutions
airy party itself
In supporting this it was cited the
recent attempt to assassinate an Ar
menian editor, Peter Kuregian, in this
city by members Of the revolutionary
party said to hold socialistic views
which Kuergian opposed.
At the trial of the case an officer of
the party testified that members of the

HOLDS SPEED RECORD.
3atteship Missouri is the Swiftest Of
Her Class in the World,

Her Glass in the World.
Boston, Oct. 24.-With eather condi-
tons against her, the new battleship Mis-
souri,, steered by Captain Howse. proved
itself the best Of its class in the official
speed trial over the Cape Ann course.
Steaming over a course Of thirty
three nautical miles and return, the bat
tleship made the trial in hours, 80 min
uates, 241a seconds, an average speed of
1906 knots per hour, which, with tidal
corrections greatly in its favor, it's is be-
lieved, will advance the average speed to
1922, new worlds record for battle
ships of it's class.
The first part of the run was made
against a strong northwest breeze. which
kept down the speed to 1854 knots, but
coming back the conditions We're more ia
vorable and the thirty-three knots were
covered in hour, At minutes and 8 sec
onds, speed of 1916 knots per hour. The
big battleship at one time attained a
speed of 1878 Knots per hour. The con-
tract requirements call for IS knots, and
margin was very gratifying to the gov
ernment officials on board. The best pre-
vious record made by battleship in the
Missouri's class is that of the Maine,
sister ship, which was 1898 per hour.
The Missouri had on board the naval
trial board and number of naval officers
stationed in and near Boston. The wealth.
er was clear, but a stiff quartering breeze
blew from the northwest and roughed up
the water considerably.
The vessels marking the course were
stationed &C knots apart and the Mis-
souri's lowest elapsed time between any
two of the mark boats was twenty-one
minutes eight seconds, made on the home
ward leg, which makes its best actual
speed 1875 knots an hour. On the northern
leg the engine attained speed of 121 rev.
olutions a minute and the average for the
entire trial was III
At the conclusion of the speed test the
Missouri was tested as to it's steering abil-

The report of the liquid fuel board,

show the far-reaching benefit of a care
full, conscientious and extended expert

assured that when tine results of the
experiments are made known the ne
eessity ond advisability of conducting
extended investigation in other direc-

The report earnestly requests the de-
