ARMENIANS
TERRORIZED
New York Officials Are
Investigating Evident
Revolution.
BY Associated Press.

New York, July 25.-Acting Dis
trict Attorney Smyth and an official
are doing their best to probe deeply
into the terroristic methods en-
ployed against wealthy Armenians to
force them to contribute to the anti
Turkish movement, being worked up
by certain of their fellow-countrymen
That these revolutionist Armenians
who it appears constitute the society
called Hunchakist, do not stop at MUIR
der, is proved by the shooting to
death on Monday of H. s. Tavsshan-
jain, the rich rug importer, in Union
Square. Messrs. Smyth and Mantry
have had several Armenians before
them and expect to examine others
today.
Every witness so far questioned
has besought the district attorneys
o..lce to Keep his name and the fact
of his presence in that officials Of
fee secret, so great is the fear among
Armenians of the Hunchakist. The
inquiry therefore is not public one.
1t has been learned that so bold is
the Hunchakist that in about an hour
after the murder of Tavshanjain,
threatening letters were mailed to at
least half dozen welEto-dO Armen-
ians. One such letter. it appears from
the pOsUmark, was mailed in the dis
trict bounded by Houston, Twentieth
street, the East river and Fourth ave
nue. District Attorney Smyth is sure
that this letter was written by an &C
complete of Bedros HampartZoomian,
who killed Tavshanjain. The recipient
of the letter was A Karaghensian, a
rug importer, whose brothers have
large business interests in CONSTANT
nople and Paris.
All the letters announce the death
of Tavshanjain and threaten the 9TH
ers with the same fate unless they
submit to blackmail already demand
ed The rich Armenians here are in
great fear of their lives. Conversant
with Eastern methods of justice, they
do not understand why the district
attorney does not throw into prison
a number of Armenians whose names
they have given the authorities.
Some of the threatened men are
even said to be considering a project
to raise a defense fund, hire a rival
society and exterminate all the black
mailers and murders. Others are
much less aggressive and counsel

Providence, r. L., July 25.-at be
came known here last night that
three prominent Armenians of this
city have been approached for money
by the Hunchakist society. The or
ganization Is was learned is divided
into two factions, with total mem
bership OF about one hundred, and
has been trying to get money out OF
the wealthy Armenians.
John Bezazian, member of the firm
of Bezazian Brothers, wealthy rug
merchants, admits that he was called
upon by members of the organization
and asked for money, but says that
he refused them.
Rev. Arpean Vartannian, the only
Armenian clergyman in the city, was
another to whom the appeal was
made, but he, too, refused. The third
one did likewise.
1t is plainly evident that the Arme-
mans have a dread of the Hunchakis-
and for that reason will not tell
much.

Antiquarians have put forth different
theories as to this. One states that

in England this was given three times
