vices from Titles state that General
Takaishvili recently summoned a con.
terence of the leaders of the Tartars
who have been engaged in the revolts.
He stated to them that government is
willing to forget what has happened
In the past and hopes in the future
the Tartars will be obedient.
The Tartars made promises to cease
their revolts and remain peaceful. but
ON the day after General Takaishvili
left the city the Tartars murdered
live rich Armcnians The Russian au.
thorities declined to punish the as.
sassins and their action created a

1t is believed that the refusal to

sistently demand reforms.

WASHINGTON. Oct 10 Several
traffic managers of Southeastern rail
roads testified before the Interstate
Commerce Commission today in the
private car inquiry as to the manner
Of handling fruit and pcrishablc pro.
ducts In their territory.
Most of them said they have en-.
tered into arrangements with private

A. +. Ellis, an Ice manufacturer, of
Augusta, Ga. submitted n contract his
company has to supply the Armour
car lines with ice and gave many de-
tails concerning the arrangement with
the private car line. He said ice was
paid for Mt $3.50 II ton.
A. G. Jackson, general freight agent

his road carried about 400 cars sea-
son of perishable goods and had con.
tract with the Armour car lines
which attended to the carrying of
fruits and vegetables. They attended
to tho refrigeration of the cars, al
though the railroad sometimes provid-
