TURKS RAID PERSIAN TOWN
Seventy.eight People Killed, In
Guiding Many Christians.

Teheran, Persia, Aug. 6.-The in
cursions of Turkish troops across the
northwest frontier of Persia, which
for some time had been in allegiance,
have again broken out. A serious raid
has occurred near Urumiah, 5000
Turkish troops, with artillery, having
crossed the frontier and destroyed the
village of Mavaneh. Seventy-eight
persons, of whom sixty were women
and children, mostly Christians, were
killed. Subsequently the Turks drove
small force of Persian troops from a
nearby camp and instituted them
selves in it. According. to an unofi-
cial report large body of Persian
cavalry subsequently joined the Turk
ish invaders and the combined force
is said to be threatening the town Of
Urumiah, twelve miles west of Lake
Urumiah and sixty-four miles from
Tabriz. Urumiah, which has pop
ulation estimated between 10000 and
$4,000 persons, including many Chris
tians, is noted as a center OF mission
airy activity and is the seat of the
Fiske seminary for girls and of Uru-
miah college. It is considered prob
able that Russia and Great Britain
will be appealed to and bring pressure
to bear upon Turkey with the view of

Justice, especially In the case Of
George Kestner, q Russian bookbinder,
around whose neck q mob had tied a
rope when the police reached the
scene in force. It is noteworthy that
the other man. attacked, Louis Con-
conela,. was innocent Of any attempt at
crime and indicates how readily a
mistake can be made in time of public
agitation or excitement.
The police are bending every effort
to give adequate protection and to
further this end 1000 plain clothes
men have been scattered about the
city,, particularly in the congested
quarters, the scene of most of the as
saults.
The first organized body to take up
the question is the Central Federated
union, which has appointed commit
tee to call on the mayor with de-.
mand that he take action that will
put stop upon the attacks on chill
dren. It was stated that II the city
authorities do not quickly stop the
crimes Governor Hughes will be ap-
pealed to. A negro delegate spoke at
the meeting at which the committee
was appointed In praise Of the quick
Justice" of THE South. This is sig
niflcant Of the feeling that exists in
some quarters. Another suggestion
made at the meeting was that unless
the attacks were quickly stopped the
governor should call out the militia.

STANDARD OIL EARNINGS
Profits in Twenty.four Years
at Least $790,000,0 900.

Washington, Aug. 6.-signiacant
revelations are made public in re-
port submitted to President Roosevelt
by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
of corporations, concerning the opera
lions of the Standard Oil company.
Commissioner Smith says:
"The Standard Oil company Is re.
sponsible for the course Of prices OF
petroleum and it's products during the
last twenty-five years. The Standard
has consistently used it's power to
raise the price Of oil during the last
ten years.
"The increase in annual profits of
the Standard from 1896 to 1904 was
over $27,000,000. The total dividends
paid from 1882 to 1906 were 1851, 922,-
9O4, averaging thus 24.15 per cent per
year. The dividends, however, were
much less than the total earnings.
The entire net earnings of the Stand
ard from 1882 to 1906 were at least
$3.50, 100000 and possibly much more.
z THE enormous profits have been
based on an investment worth at the
time Of its original acquisition not
more than SIS, 100000.
'.The history Of this great industry
Is history of the persistent use of
the worst industrial methods, the ex-
action OF exorbitant prices from the
consumer and the securing of Excess
sive profits for the small group Of
men who over long series Of years
have thus dominated the business"

OFFICIALS NOT WORRIED.
Pay No Attention to Threat OF Cana.
q dian Adventures.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The state de-
partment officials are not in the least
concerned over the reported intention
of Captain Young and his party of
Canadians to raise the British flag
over Isle Royale, In Lake Superior.
They point out that the treaty Of 1912
expressly names the channel between
Isle Royale and the Canadian main
land as marking the international
boundary at that point in Lake Su-
perior. 80 that there could be no ques-
tion as to the American title OF the
island. Moreover the state depart
ment has never heard that the Cana
dian government ever challenged that
title. The island is favorite sum-
mer resort for people from Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul, In the Unit
ed States, and from the larger towns
of Manitoba, in Canada. II Captain
Young trespasses on any privately
owned property he will, Of course, be
dealt with according to the laws Of
Michigan, which exercises jurisdiction
over the island.

Der and the lawyers associated with

ton of the litigation arising from the
enactment of the new railway laws in

ference Is to- determine just what
course the state will pursue in deal
ing with the Southern Railway, the
license of which was revoked last
week because 1t transferred a civil
suit from the state courts to the fed
eral court. It Is understood that
wholesale arrests may follow the con-
ference, in which event matters will

is made that Governor Conner will, if
necessary, use the militia to enforce
the states edict. It is also said that
he may call an extra session of the
legislature; to take steps to place the
Southern Railway into a .receivership

In the official health bulletin Just

Chicago an Adamless Eden. Dr.. Ev-

death rate in Chicago for twenty
years and particularly in the last
seven months, when three members Of
the stronger sex died for every two
of the fairer. DR.. Evans makes the
startling statement that during the
first seven months of 1907 in Chicago
about $4,000 men sucCumbed, as COM
pared to 5000 women. =" +
He says that in the last year the
ratio Of difference in the death rate
between men and women has been 30,
as against less than 10 per cent twenty
years ago. ...-E.--..- RI. -.
The cause for this is attributed by
