Special to The Herald.
PASADENA. July 23.-At it's meeting
this morning there was presented to the
city council an application by the Pacific
Electric Railway company for a double
track franchise on Colorado street in the
business district of the city. This is the
result of a petition to the company several
weeks ago asking for double tracks to be
put down in the congested portion of Colo
RADIO street. There is said to be some
opposition to the double tracking, which
will come out before the franchise comes
up for final action. Some method of re-
lieving the congestion on this street is
imperative, but just how it should be done
Is the question.

Armenian PRIEST HELD
FATHER LEVONT MARTooGES.
SIAN INDICTED IN NEW YORK.
PROBE FOR MURDER EVIDENCE
Central Figure in Conspiracy Which
Had for Its object the BlackmaiIng
of Wealthy Armenians-Hope to Sc
cure Confession from Slayer.

New York, Aug. -Four indiCt.
ments now lie against Father Levont
Martoogessian, the Armenian, who, it
is alleged, some times laid aside his
priestly robes to practice eXtortion
and blackmail. The priest is just now
the central figure in the conspiracy
which the district attorney seeks to
prove had tor its object the robbery
of wealthy Armenians and led to the
murder of the rug merchant Tavshan'
| jian, and others who refused to be
| financially bled.
From the slayer of Tavshanjian, Be-
| hos HampartzoOmian as he is known
here, the police hope to secure a con
| fession establishing that the youth
unwittingly was the agent of black.
mailing terrorists. A trunk which
Hampartzoomian had in Lowell has
| been brought here and its contents may
throw some light on the investigation.
| Once the assassin is convinced that he
was more of a tool than a patriot, the
police expect him to make disclosures
that will make easy the wiping out OF
dangerous gang.
OF the three additional indictments
against Martoogessian brought in by
the grand jury, two charge attempted
robbery, as did the original indict
ment, and one alleges eXtortion. The
latter charges that the priest was re
spoasible for at least one of the black
mailing letters which quickly followed
the death of the rug merchant.
The letter was mailed in New York
on the afternoon of July %, the day
that Tavshanjian was shot. 1t was
written in red ink, in the Armenian
language, and was signed by the sym
Dol of the terrorists, three hands witt
daggers uplifted, poised above a rec
heart. The letter is as follows:
Death Warrant-The executives OF
the Constantinople Armenian Revolu
tionary Terrorists' organization con
denim to death Haroutian Gulbenkian
Gulabi Gulbenkian and Patrick Gul
benkian, the three brothers who en-
| tirely have deaf ears to all appeals
for national freedom. Our executive
board, having given its decision tc
Haroutian and Gulabi Gulbenkian ir
America, gives them twenty-foul
hours time to decide between theil
dut. and DEATH"
The letter is dated: Constantine
pie, June q, 1907"
Following the letter Is a postscript
also in red ink, which reads as fol
lows:
Although neither prison nor hang
ing can prevent us from fulfilling oul
duty to the end, it is necessary tina
you should know. If you betray thi!
letter or cause harm to one hair or
the heads Of one of us. against tina

Before this letter came HaroutiaI
Gulbenkian, who is the accusing wit
ness against the priest, had received
Matchmaking letter demanding $25,
900, but had not complied with tn,
demand.
