NEW INDICTMENTS
ARE RETURNED AGAINST AN AR
MENIAN PRIEST at NEW
YORK CITY.
Evidence AccumuIates Against the
Leader of a Society Accused of
Eytorton and Murder.

New York. - Four Indictments
now lie against Father Martoo-
gessian, the Armenian who, it is al
legged, sometimes laid aside his priest
ly robes to practice eXtortion and
blackmal. The priest is just now
the central figure in the conspiracy
which the district attorney seeks to
prove had for its object the robbery
of wealthy Armenians and led to the
murder of the rug merchant, Tavshan-
jan, and others who refused to be
financially bled.
From the slayer of Tavshanjian,
Bedros Hampartzoomian as he is
known here, the police hope to secure
a confession establishing that the
youth unwittingly was the agent of
blackmailing Terrorists. A trunk
which Hampartzcomian had in Low
ell, Mass, has been brought here
and its contents may throw light on
the investigation.
OF the three additional indictments
against Martoogessian brought in by
the grand jury Wednesday two charge
attempted robbery, as did the original
indictment, and one alleges eXtortion.
The latter charges that the priest was
responsible for at least one of the
blackmailing letters which followed
the death of the rug merchant.
The letter was mailed in New York
on July %, the day that Tavshanjian
was shot. 1t was written in the Ar
menian language, in red ink, and was

ed, poised above a red heart. The let
ter was sent to Gulabi Gulbenkian &
Co., of this city, and was as follows:

Of the Constantinople Armenian revo-
lutionary Terrorists' organization con-
denim to death Haroutian Gulbenkian,
Guiabi Gulbenkian and Patrick Gull

deaf ears to all appeals for national

ing given its decision to Haroutian

gives them "a hours to decide be-
tween duty and death.

tionary Terrorists' organization"
Before this letter came Haroutian
Gulbenkian, who is the accusing wit
ness against the priest, had received
blackmailing letter demanding $25,-
900, but had not complied with the de.
mand.
The sense OF the indictment is that
the priest either sent the quoted let.

WILD EXCITEMENT
Was Created by an Orators Effort
10 Stampede the Convention,
but lie was Unsuccessful.

Tulsa, l. T.-Gov. Frank Frantz
was Thursday night nominated by
acclamation for governor of the pro-
posed state of Oklahoma by the re-
publican state convention
During the afternoon session of the
convention clash that was followed
by a wild demonstration came when
J. S. MCGOWAN, of Snyder, Okla, in
speech argued against the naming of
a ticket and for the rejection of the
constitution. He captured the con-
Vention with his eloquence and finally
declared that the party could not af-
ford to name ticket under the new
constitution.
The delegates were swept off their
feet for moment, but the friends of
Gov. Frantz soon realized what they
believed was trap laid to gtampede
the convention against Frantz. Then
disorder ruled the gathering. Dele
gates Kissed and yelled for MCGOWAN
to sit down. The speaker attempted
to stick it out, but the convention was
against 1t.
Chairman Hamon tried to quiet the
convention, but without avail. Nc
Gowan's voice was lost in the cheers
for Frantz that followed. Then dele
gates rushed to the platform and
threatened the speaker, but he held
his ground. Delegates and party
leaders urged Hamon to stop Nc
Gowan.
At this point Frank Rush, Of Black
burn, carried a Pawnee county Frantz
banner to the platform and Jumped TO
the top of a press table. The wildly
excited delegates sprang to their feet
shouting for Frantz and state
ticket. Shouting men in every part OF
the convention tore loose their coun.
ty standards and rushed forward
Delegates left their seats and joined
in the rush while Hamon gazed upon
the tumult in establishment. Police
men went to the stage to prevent
| trouble, but their presence was not
needed. D. l.. Sleeper, of Tulsa
standing on q table, ultimately sue

HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.

strangers to q town form their
opinions as to it's people by the ap-
pearance of the business places and
the residences. In town where the
buildings are dingy and dirty, and the

there is a lack of enterprise. 1t pays
the business men of town to be care

A FIENDISH CRIME.
An 9-YearOId Girl Is Assaulted, Muir
dered and Mutiated by Some
Person Unknown.

New York. - The graveyard"
as the foreign populated neigh
borhood on First avenue between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets is
known locally, on Thursday gave up a
fresh crime, rivaling in atrocity the
mysterious butcheries of last week.
The latest discovered victim was an
S-year-old girl and like the two young
women murdered she had been
shockingly mistreated before death
and the body mutilated when life was
extinct.
The three murders are strikingly
similar. Last Thursday night a wo-
man was mangled in a boarding
house; the next morning the body of
woman who had been choked to
death was found in an areaway in
East Ninetleth street. Katie Pritsch-
Ter, daughter Of restaurant waiter
disappeared week ago yesterday
and was killed that night. A ribbon
placed about the throat and drawn so
tightly that it cut the flesh showed
how she died. Her body was found
yesterday.
At the coroner's direction, Gaetano
Rippolano, whose cobbler shop ad-
joins the girls home, was arrested
and asked to explain his absence from
his shop on last Friday. He estab-
lished the fact that he had spent the
day at Bristol, Conn. The girl is said
to have frequented Rippolano's place,
and search of the shop brought to
light mans shirt which bore red
stains. The cobbler was arraigned
and remanded to the coroner.

Small towns usually contain but few
expensive residences. 1t matters little
how inexpensively built residences are
If the buildings are kept well painted
and the yards neat and clean. This
is evidence of the good taste of the
people.
In many towns in country districts
there are bitching posts placed here
and there before the stores. 1t is gen
orally the case that where the hitch
ing post is found, unless the street is
well paved, there is a mud hole
Every town that is Incorporated
should have regulations as to the
placing of hitching posts indiscrimin-
ately in the streets. There should be
set aside some side street that is CON
venient to the business portion of the
town. where the farmers and others
can hitch their teams instead of in
front of the stores.

Nearly every small town has its
public park. 1t is often noticed that
these parks are little cared for. They
are public pastures and serve no good
purpose as places where the people
of the town can meet evenings for
social intercourse. People of towns
should take pride in keeping the pub
lie parks in good condition They can
be made beauty spots with but little
effort and expense.

Good sidewalks give the strangers
to a town a favorable impression of
the place, and also they are an advan-
tage in many ways and may prove
matter of economy through the pre-
vention of accidents that might give
cause for damage against the town
corporation.
