tOpSCldl IIOIH OIIlSu IItSSl London, April 27.-A dispatch from Adana gives a graphic account of the
 rioting and massacres in that city de-
 tailed by Rev. Herbert Adams Gibbons
 a missionary from Hartford, Conn.,, as follows:
 Early last Wednesday. (ApriI 14th)
 while l was at the market" MT. Gib-
 bons says. '1 noticed that the Armen-
 ians were closing their shops and
 hurrying to their homes. An Armenian and a Turk had been killed during the night and the corpses were paraded through the street. The people became greatly unframed at the sight and crowds began to assemble, armed with revolvers. clubs. knives and axes
 By eleven o'~'~ok the rioting was getting under full spring. The mili- tary commander of Adana. was with me in the market. Had he the requisite courage. he might have suppressed the trouble in it's incipiency but whether he was a coward or in sympathy with the uprising, he permitted it to go on unchecked. He kept in hiding for two days.
 William Chambers. field secretary of the Y. M. c. A., and went to the tele- graph office to summon the British consul encountering the bodies of the slain at every step. Two Armenians were killed in the telegraph office be- fore our eyes. We made representa- IiChS tO lue dli Dul II0 Sdlu He COulu do nothing. Evidently he was afraid of his life.
 Later in the afternoon the situation grew decidedly worse The Armenians turned into fortresses. For two days they were able to beat off the attacks but the fanatics finally won the upper hand and Adana became a Hell. The bazaars were locked and set on fire. There was incessant shooting and burning in every section of the town. Moslems from the neighboring towns poured in to whet their appetites on the scenes of carnage.
 ''The Vali actually distributed arms to the riote1t5. alleging that they were Turkish reserves and were to be used in suppressing the uprising. Major Daughty-Wylie, the British vice-con- sul at Mersina commanded the Vali tt supply him with body of troops and went to the railroad end of the town where he succeeded in preventing the villagers from coming in to Adana- It was while engaged in this work that he was shot and seriously wounded.
 "On Thursday Daniel Miner Rogers and Henry Maurer, American mission aries. were killed under treacherous gave up the fight. The town is in a pitiable condition. Corpses lie scat tered everywhere and it is impossible ] to estimate the number of dead Graves are being dug in the Turkish They are little more than trenches into which the hundreds of victims are thrown.
 ''The condition of the refugees is l pitiable. Friday afternoon 25O rioters | calling themselves Turkish reserves | compelled the engineer of a train to | carry them to Tarsus where they burn | ed the Armenian quarter of the city | Their work was barbarious in the ex- | trame. Women and children and old | men as well as the cOmbatantS, were 1 slain and unspeaka ble outra ges com | mitted. Many buildings of historic in terest are destroyed

 SUES HUSBAND
 FOR PROPERTY
Real Estate and Automo- piles Attached to Satisfy
 Claim of $13O,OOO.
Is a Family Affair and Friends of the De fendant Feel Quite Sure That the Plaintiff Has Been III Advised.

Much surprise was manifested to- day when it became known that Mrs. Ella B. Ottman Setzer, wife of Der nard Setzer, had brought injunction proceedings against her husband to prevent his disposing of about $13000O worth of property which the plaintiff claims belongs to her and which is in the possession of her husband through power of attorney which she gave him in 1897 to manage her affairs.
 Considerable property in this city standing in the name of the defendant was attached to satisfy the claim and this morning a Packard touring car and an automobile runabout were ta- ken by Deputy Sheriff Doolan to fur ther satisfy the claim.
 Mrs. Setzer is now in New York city with her relatives and MT. Setzer is in this city. The latter stated to a Far mer reporter that he did not care to discuss the matter except to say that he had done nothing that he was ashamed Of
 A friend of MT. Setzer said this morning that he believed the matter would be settled up it is entirely a family affair in which he said Mrs. Setzer had apparently been advised by some of her relatives.
 Both husband and wife have inde- pendent fortunes, but that of the wife is said to run into the largest figures. They have a handsome home at 1O15 Fairfield avenue and have lived quite happily with their little son and daughter.
 It is understood that no suits of any other nature are contemplated hv Mrs. Setzer whose counsel are Stoddard, Marsh & Stoddard. MT. Setzer IS rep resented by Judge A. B. Beers.
 Mr Setzer is a shrewd business man and it is understood that he made mon ey in many of the things he undertook.

 In the papers filed in the office of the town clerk the defendant claims that when she was married in 1896, she had cash amounting to $10,00O and mort gages on New York real estate valu- ed at $9O, ,028.65-
 The Setzer family and the Ottman family are related, MT. Setzer being distant relative of his wife before mar riage.

CHINESE N NUMBERS
 LEAVING FOR ORIENT

Officials ait the Tucson immigration
 station are in receipt of about 200 bond certificates. sign.fying the mum Der of Chinamen leaving this section of the country during the past thirty or forty days for China, most of whom are going to their native country on a visit. This Is but one instance of the great exodus of the Chinese for the Orient during this season of the year. These are all Chinese residing in Mexico. each executing a $500 bond, which is in commission during their transit in this country.
 About 5000 Chinese bond certih cates are at present on file at Tucson. These date back as far as 1901, show. ing the great movement of Orientals in this portion of the southwest dur. Ing the past eight years. In speaking of this. J. J. Murphy. acting inspector in charge. said:
 An impression exists that China men, after having made a fortune in Mex co. send their money home. then cross into the United States for the purpose of being deported. so that their trip to China costs them noth- ing. This opinion is not correct. If the general public knew how stub. bornly the Chinese fight exclusion to keep out of the way of the officers, they would look at the thing different ly. The Chinese consider 1t a dis grace 10 be deported. and they frame up ali sorts of schemes in fighting the exclusion law. Eight thousand bond certificates during the past eight years do not signify that they are seeking deportation"

WOMAN JUDGE

 FR0MCEREM0NY
Judge Mary Cooper Says 0Id| Service is Hackneyed =
 Reforms Marriages

BEIIOIT, Kan. July 19.-So popular have become the marriage ceremon- ies performed by Probate Judge Mary H. Cooper. who, by the way, Is the only woman probate judge in the United States, 90 far as known, that it has become almost a fad in Mitch ell county for young women to insert the proviso that Judge Cooper shall offciate before they blushingly say "yes" to the pleadings of would-be benedicts.
 Judge Cooper's popularity has come about through the omission of the word "obey" when tieing the nuptiai knot.
 T attribute the great increase of marriages in this ofice," explained Judge Cooper today, ito an effort on my part to get away from the hack neyed. machine-like way in which civ Il ceremonies are generally perform ed
 T attempt to make the ceremonies as impressive as know how. Should A gfggling pair come before me, they are severely reproved and made to un- derstand that being joined in wedlock is most serious affair and not to be taken lightly
 ''Is your service different than most of the others."
 Yes. ! believe it differs slightly For instance, I have eliminated the word obey for the bride
 T ask the groom if he will love. cherish and keep her until separated by death. The bride is asked practi- eally the same thing. If either or both keep these promises, there is no need for the word obey
 If she doesn't love him she won't obey him. She might pretend to, but she won't
 And. by the way, this office doesn't believe in tips. It accepts only the legal fee for the license or the ceremony I presume there is nothing wrong in accepting additional money from an over-zealous, love-sat- urated bridegroom. but I believe that the law intends that I shall take no more than set forth in the statutes"
 After having been appointed by Gov. ernor Hoch to fill the unexpired term of her husband. who died in ofice, Mrs. Cooper was reelected by the largest majority of anyone on the ticket. even President Taft not ex. cepted.

SPURIOUS COIN WIDELY SPREAD
 OVER COUNTRY
Thought By Secret Service to
 Be Work of Gang Having z- Foreign Plant

NEW YORK. July 19-Counterfeit currency of the apparent face value of $1 1,000,0 900 or more has been scat. tered broadcast over the country. Uncle Sam is trying to run down the leaders in the biggest swindle of it's kind ever launched against the gov. ernment.
 Chief Flynn, head of the secret ser. vice in New York, is known as the coGnterfeiters' greatest foe and dis. covery of the present plot Is credited to him. His attention was first at. tracted two months ago by reports from his agents that spurious s2 bills were being circulated on the East Side.
 The number of bills of larger de- nomination were comparatively small and because of this Chief Flynn de duced that the counterfeiters were foreigners who planned to circulate their goods" among the poorer classes who seldom use big bills. Se- cret service agents were put oa watch on the East Side. in Harlem's Little Italy, in the Townsville section of Brooklyn and in nearby New Jersey towns.
 Although the facts hitherto ha -e been kept secret, forty arrests have been made in less than two months. This successful and wholesome rad. ing drove the more active of the counterfeiters out of New York and vicinity, but 1t was Chief Flynn's au. bition to discover the plant where the money was manufactured.
 q am satisfied now that the gang has it's factory in Italy" Chief Flyrn said today. Perhaps never before has a counterfeiting scheme on su-h a big scale been directed against tfe United States
 A drag net was set for all the well known counterfeiters in this country and this canvass proved that the plant was not in the United States. Tfe spurious bills are brought from abroad, and until the plot was dis covered New York was the distribut. ing point.
 The showers" as the crooks are known who place counterfeits in cir culation. purchased the currency freq dealers" at the rate of 35 cents In the face value of dollar. The cate with which the bills were imposed tn the poorer classes and the enormous profits attending the transactions as. count for the wide distribution of t-e currency.

work, and orders were given that no expense be spared. The price Of the estate was S100,000 and an equal sum has been spent for repairs and alter- ation:
 The newly modelled house contains about thirty-four rooms.Of the nine rooms on the first floor, two are finely appointed parlors on either side of the front hall. and third is bril- liantly furnished dining room
 Leading from the hallway is wide staircase of steel, on which are laad- ings at the second and third floors. Built into the walls at each landing .s a huge vault of steel.
 The house stands back from Bea- con street about 1000 yards. There is deep semi-circular driveway skirt ing the lawn, and the mansion is shaded by magnificent trees. Mrs. Eddy's private apartments are richly decorated. They are situated on .he southeastern corner of the mansion. Directly fin front of her boudoir is q noiseless electric elevator. on which she will be carried to and from the dining rooms and parlors on the first floor and to the third floor if occasion requires.
