TO ORGANIZE ARMENIANS
General BoyadjiGn, Head OF Hum
chakists. Arrires from Paris.

General Hempartzoum Boyadjian. president of
the EIunchakists. Armenian Revolutionary party
arrived in this city yesterday from Paris on the
steamship La Gascosne. His mission in this couh-
try is to organize his countrymen in the United
States as he has done In Egypt, into hghtins
force that some day he hopes viii be called upon
to do battle with their natural enemy the TURK
for their freedom from the rule of the Sultan
General Boyadjian. who is better known by the
sobriquet of ''Mourad,' meaning hope, was the
hero of Sassoun where he led the Armenian forces
in 1894 against the Basfibazouks and kurds, under
Zeki Pacna After bitter battle the ammunition
Of his followers became exhausted and Mourad'
was captured. The Turkish authorities sentenced
him TO death but through the intervention of Eng
land France and Russia the sentence was COM
muted to 1o1 years imprisonment.
For twelve years he a prisoner in the fort
ress Trpoli and. he explained last night at
the Park Avenue Hotel, the tortures he suffered
there often made him wish that the Turkish Off
cials had carried out the original sentence His
brother had been captured in battle and hanged
One form of torture to deny him permission to
speak to any This was observed for six years
The punishment meted TO him when he vio-
lated this order TO hang him from his toes.
About eighteen months ago the central committee
of the Hunchakists successfully plotted his escape
Through the help of some Arabs he got away in
2 boat at dead of night. He made his way to the
desert and thence TO Egypt. Before leaving Egypt
for Paris he organized his compatriots there
General Royadjian. who is large OF stature, looks
like the fighter his people say he is. He said he
was anxious have Americans understand that
the Armenian Revolutionary Party had nothing in
common with the sc-called Hunchakists. who in
the year have been responsible for at least two
murders and other crimes.
These men, he said through interpreter,
simply that name for the power it represents.
but wish to repudiate them. They do not belong
to US We are simply revolutionary party seek
ing liberty, which we hope TO bring about by
proper organization all the world"
The Armenians. OF whom there. are about six
thousand in New York will hold meet

Justice Sanders sitting in the 18th District Mu-
nicipal Court, in Madison street, dealt body blow
to the rent strikers yesterday by handling dis
possess cases wholesale. He announced that In

Immediately without a hearing, and more than
eight hundred orders were issued in this way. Be
fore considering the cases Justice Sanders warned
the LAWYERS for the defendants that he would have
a1y one trying TO delay matters by perjured de-
fences prosecuted. and would regard lawyers in
such cases as original offenders.

was a pitiful attempt that most of them made, for
they seemed TO realize that one Of their strongest
hopes had proved false
Great crowds swarmed about the court in Madi-
