ARMENIAN CHIEFS
HAD DEATH POWER
Written Constitution of
Hunchakist Society Be-
ing Translated.
Hoped to Find Evidence
That Will Reveal Lead
erS' Names.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Armenian stu
dents are completing as rapidly ds posi-
BILE translation OF the HunChakist So
ciety's written constitution which fell
into District Attorney Jerome's hands
yesterday. The document has as yet
been partly rendered, and it is believed
the remaining sections will prove quite
as startling as those already translated
The document is already known TO
give the leaders Of the various sections
the power of life and death not only
over their own members but over out
siders who incur their enmity. While
IL is provided that the 'Dasnabads.' or
leaders of the sections. must secure au-
thority from their superiors before or
dering assassinatiOns except in cases OF
emergency It Is believed they have
usually reported their actions to the
society's supreme council. While there
has been at no time any doubt that the
Hunchadsts were acting along a regu-
larly outlined campaign. New York au-
thorities were surprised to find that
there was a written constitution.
The investigators Of the organization
doings are hopeful In particular that the
translation may reveal the idenutles OF
the section leaders and the society su-
preme head in this country. While IL IS
believed that the latter Is already
known. evidence Is yet lacking 10 con-
meet him with the case. .
Evidence Of the written constitution
may be supplemented within the next
few days by complete coIIesslon -l.,.Ii LIoiii

TEN YEARS GROWTH
OF PENNA. RAILROAD

PHILADELPHIA. Aug 6--An indi-
cation Of the enormous industrial de-
velopment in this country in the last
ten years is shown IN figures just com
piled by the Pennsylvania, which COM
pare the capacity OF its freight yards OF
then and today.
Ten years ago the yards on IN" Penn
sylvania had a capacity OF 1O,Ssl cars,
While since then these yards have been
enlarged to the extent of holding 30.'2i
cars. an increase of nearly 20V per cent.
The necessity for the enlargement OF
these Yards and for the construction OF
new ones can be seen from the fact that
the Pennsylvania hauled 30 per cent
more freight In 1906 than In 1904. The
Increase in the freight mileage Of 3d.
0O0, 600 shows the ease OF transportation
made possible by the enlarged yards,
