PRAISE FOR MISSIONARIES
Consul at Harpmt Declares They
4ided Greatly an armenian Trouble.

Washington Jan 22-The State Department has
made public portions Of report recently made by
DR.. Thomas II. Norton, American Consul at Har-
put. Turkey. the results Of a tour Of investga-
tion made by him. under instructions from the
department. through the vilayets OF Btlis and
Van. which were the scenes in several months last
summer Of repeated attacks on and massacres of
Armenian Christians by the Kurds and other ele-
ances, attended by frightfu atrocities and savage
cruelty. resulted in death suffering and destitu-
ton.
The principal object Of the visit was for the bet
ter protection Of American interests there and the
timely arrival OF DIR. Norton IL is stated contrib
uted TO peaceful termination Of the troubles
No Americans were known to have been injured
DR.. Norton says Mush is practically an armored
camp, where Armenians are in constant terror
He estimates that in the Sassun district 1000
hves We're lost in last summers massacres includ-
ing 2In children. Several thousand refugees who
fed TO Mush forced 10 return TO their r,,ined
ViiiIages, Where the vilayet authorities made AN
;rl Tdlo~htce OF one cent day per capita for food
The question for the moment he saws is What "a
10 be done 10 save the surviving popuatton Of So q
sun. numbering 10000 more, from tile rss1,l.s oF
ihSunclent protection and insufficient food
he speaks OF the American schools and tps+it,,
ions, and says the missionaries have Tnuch nreS
uge. one salient fact says the consul ia tthat
the DeneYoience OF citizens OF the United States nos
oeonpished more than the efforts OF other nations
and moral welfare OF the Armenians and other
classes IN The inferior provinces. Tribute Is naid

workers. He says the tide of emigration is dirscf
ed almost exclusively TO America and that there
IS an increasing number OF American citixans who

Of study set out in the book.
A rising young author was recently made an
amused victim OF one of those remarks lone

an enthusiastic young woman, while visiting in
Dayton. Ohio, recently, met at a reception

Mr.. sharts's new book. "The Hills of Freedom"

And the next half hour she spent In explaining
The self-made man having had his say in his

that Mrs Self-Niade Man Should want to have

surprised, although non-committal as to our
other emotions, to learn that there is soon to be

Wife; Her Letters to Her Son" Charles Eustace
Merriman is the author and the volume will be

DRAwTENDER's SIDE OF THE STORY,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: noticed article in your paper to-day
headed Wouldn't Open Drawbrfdge Wide" Now
wish to state my side of this case. This captain
called for the bridge. 1 gave It to him as always
do. and swung it two-thirds open. AS he didn't
have anything IN tow he had lots OF room 10 ro
through but he stopped and backed up and swung,
his boat around with her stern toward the pier
and lay there. refusing 10 go through He made
me swing it four times before he would go through
1t was done because he was angry with me FOR
the selectmen As for traffic being held up for
several hours, there IS truth all in the state
ment- From the way your article read there was
much profanity. There nothing OF the kind

Paris, January 20.
The two most noteworthy books published this
week are. quite unusually devoted to lyrical
compositions. Lemerre is issuing "Poetes de
France ct de Bourbon" volume of clever
Parnassean verses, descriptive of the island of
Reunion. in the Indian Ocean, formerly called
lie Bourbon where the author. Maurice Olvalnt.
was at time French colonial magistrate.
The other volume OF verse mentioned is a book
Of popular. catching. youthful songs Of Mont
martre and the Latin Quarter by Xavier Puvas.
1t is entitled "Chansons des Enfants du Peuple"
The songs are bright and amusing. and the eu-
thor has had the good sense not to make mere
tricious concessions TO the transient frivolities
OF the cabarets. 1'hey are all set to music, and
are OF an essentially lyric quality. and at times
suggestive OF Baudelaire in their melancholy I'M

Cones Explains.

George B. Cones, of the Meade
Seward district, who introduced the
railway car fumigation bill, does not
look like a man who is out for a
graft, and he denies with consider
able indignation the current report
that his fumigation bill was intro
duced for the purpose of holding up
the Pullman company for passes, etc.
He says, 'sIn relation to the FUN
igation bill, which 1 introduced, will
say that it was not introduced for
the purpose of holding up or sand
bagging any railroad company or
anything of that kind. Any traveller
sees the necessity of such law.
which would save hundreds of lives
and thousands of dollars annually.
l am sorry it was turned down. 1t
seems the people have not yet real
lied the great necessity for it, or
there was too much pressure brought
to bear against it, but as this had no
effect, 1 presume the next best thing
was to kill it in the committee.
Topeka Journal.
This bill was introduced by Mr..
Cones at the request of the State
Board of Health, and we do not
think it right to infer that it was a
hold-up bill. No one in this county
would believe Mr.. Cones guilty OF
any matter of this kind. Georges
integrity has never been questioned
by anyone and we are sorry the idea
got out in Topeka that his fumigation
bill was a hold up. We believe Mr..
Cones is trying to be right and fail
on all legislation and that he will dc
what he thinks best for the people oi
this district.
