TARTARS BENT ON WIPING OUT
THE ARMENIANS
REGARD THEM AS PARASITES
Refinery Owners Correctly Predicted
Present Outbreak, but Russian
Government Forbade organiz-
Ing for Self Defense
REGARD THEM AS PARASITES
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 8.-The
first and principal cause for the disor-
ders at Baku is the hatred felt for the
FaArmenians.r This feeling is of long
standing and is never absent. The
Armenians have been detested as para
sites Of the Mohammedan and other
populations in the Caucasus and for
several years the Russian authorities
have had much difficulty in restraining
the Tartars from cruel and bloody re-
prisals.
The Armenians understood the situa-
ton, and, aware of their danger, armed
themselves. The Baku massacres
showed how we'll they could defend
themselves. This was evidenced again
in the last seven days by the large
number of Tartars killed in the rioting.
The Tartars, however, seem bent on
exterminating the Armenians by kill
ing them and destroying their villages,
homes and churches. The Armenians
have the upper hand in commerce and in
industry. This superiority gals the
Tartars and increases their hatred,
This outbreak was predicted almost
to a day three months ago, but the
government forbade the refinery own
ers to organize private militia for the
protection of their property.
The losses are so great that they will
be felt all over Russia. The need of
crude and refined oil will be felt in
industry, in transportation and in every
household.

AMERICA AND RUSSIA
ARE AS SIAMESE TWINS
Witte Considers Them the Worlds
Two Great Countries

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-"America and
Russia are almost like the far-famed
Siamese twins" said Sergius Witte, the
Russian peace envoy, in an interview
published today by the Herald.
1.-The two great countries of the
world" he continued. ARE Russia and
the United States. They are the two
great countries of the world because
they both produce men and material.
This is the secret of any nations sue
cess.
IT do not care to speak about the
past trouble or future results. That
is a matter which is entirely diplomatic
and official, but 1 do feel the very great
kindness of the American people outside
of all official relations. We came here
as friends and were received as guests.

Balakhan was completely burned out
after the Tartars had plundered it of
everything valuable, and, although shot

occurred at the Balakhan hospital,
where thousand Armenians and
workmen gathered. General Shirinkin
sent a detachment of artillery with
three guns to the scene, and the COM

the crowd to surrender. The latter re-

shots which killed one Of the gunners.
The commander of the troops there

The first discharge of three guns mis-

but the second discharge sent the shells
crashing into the hospital, where they
exploded, killing an immense number
of men and wrecking the building. The
maddened crowd charged the guns and
captured them after deluging the gun

of which c. w. Fleming was the chair
man.
Browsing Begins
Elks' hall was the immediate destina-
ton and there the hungry herds
browsed upon a repast peculiar to
Elks, and the best part was that it was
continuous. All during the afternoon
the tables were kept piled with eatables
and drinkables and the rooms were
crowded with men bent on striking a
death blow to dull care.
None but former Fire Chief Walter S.
Moore would have been equal to the
task Of supplying the demand for
tickets to the various events of the
celebration and even he was forced to
close his window several times during
the afternoon and cry out for mercy.
In the evening there was the theater.

Chef Matt Everhardy the barbecue will
be given.
In the evening there will be high
jinks' and the Elks will seek their
homes at "OO' o'clock. That is all that
is known of the evening performance
and probably all that ever will be
known by the uninitiated.
