mobs. The inhabitants are almost
wholly Armenians and only those who

escaped with their lives. The torch

scarcely a building remains. Mes.

There Is the highest authority today
for the statement that the Young
Turks intend eventually to courtmar-

the Young Turks would hardly care
to take this action unless they had

ChInk Witness for Government Isn't
In Its Employ.

/ A rare thing occurred In the trial
of two Chinese, before Commissioner
Finney, Thursday morning, in that the
government produced Chinese, not a
government official, as a witness for
the prosecution. Moy Hee and Ho
Long are accused of being in the
country unlawfully and the hearing
was on the testimony In this regard.
Moy Hee testified that he is a mer-
chant and connected with the Sing
Lung -eeu- of Chicago which deals IN
Chinese goods. The government pro-
duced Moy Sing, who has been man
ager Of the Sing Lung Co. for II years
to prove that Moy Hee never had any
connection with the store. Ho Long
presents the usual claim OF having
been born in San Francisco.

BLOOD FLOWS FREELY
IN A MONTANA TOWN
Hungarian StabS ROumanian
and Is Killed by a
Policeman.

appears TO have had It's origin IN jeaI-

the serious wounding Of another and the
slight wounding OF Policeman O'Neill.
who shot the man who was killed.
Three Roumanians were accosted on
the street by Michael Papp. a Hungar-
ian, with the remark that one Hungar-
ian could easily lick the three. The
others sneered at his remark, and he
drew knife and stabbed John Nalgo. one
of the trio. in the back The wound is
serious, but not necessarily fatal. Imme-
diately Papp started on the run for his
home.
John Stole, another Of the trio. hunted
up a policeman and conducted Patrolman
NJ. j: ONeill to the home Of Papp with
the intention OF having him arrested,
When they entered. Papp hit Stole. but
other room. ONeill followed, telling him
that he was under arrest. AS soon as
O'Neili entered the back room. which was
dark, the door closed behind him. He
grappled with the man and then Papp
shot; sending bullet through the lobe
of O'Neills ear and making flesh wound
above The policeman drew his revolver
and, guessing where TO FIRE, he sent a
stantly. A coroners inquest was held
this evening and the jury held that
O'Neill was justified In killing Papp.
Back OF the tragedy there is story
OF jealousy and mistaken identity. Prev
ious to coming to Great Falls, the Papps
had conducted a boarding house at Leth-
bridge, and a man named Tudor was the
star boarder, Papp was jealous and Mrs
Papp told him about Tudor's advances
Later they moved 10 this country, the
Papps coming TO Great Falls and Tudor
going 10 work in the coal mines at
Stocliett. near here. 4 short time ago
the Papps had Tudor arrested on one of
his visits here on the charge OF carrying
concealed weapons. and he was only re-
Gently released.
Last evening Tudor. Stole and COM
panlon came in from Stockett, and the
latter two We're standing with Nalgo
when attacked by Papp. Naso is about
the same build as Tudor, and in the
darkness 1t Is thought that Papp mis-
took him for the man who had aroused
his jealousy, as neither Mrs. Papp nor
any one else knew OF any reason why
he should attack Nalgo.

TOBACCO MEN OBJECT
TO INCREASED TAX
1t Is Pretty Certain, However,
That Senate viii Make
the Increase.

WASHINGTON, July 4-Proposi-
tions OF increases in the internal taxes
on all forms of manufactured tobacco
have brought veritable hornets nest
about the heads of the senate commit:
tee on finance. The committee decided
today that it would have to barken to
tho demands, and although an amend
ment fixing the rates of increases had
been prepared for introduction in the
senate on Tuesday, kilograms have
been sent out telling the tobacco manu-
facturers they Will be given n hearing
before n subcommittee at 10 o clock
tomorrow. 1T was not until last FRI
day that it became evident that an in
crease Of taxes on tobacco might be
recommended.
That the tobacco men are right in
their conjecture that tho president ia
vors an increase in the tobacco taxes
seems TO be borne out by the fact that
Director Edana Burand of the census
bureau, formerly assistant commission
er OF corporations, has been in indi
vidual consultation with the members
Of the subcommittee OF the finance com
mittee who are considering the VarI
Gus tobacco amendments.
Mr., Burand told members OF the
finance committee that the profits of
the tobacco trust are inordinate, and
that the independents are just as able
to bear an increased tax.
Members Of the finance committee
were asked today whether it was true
that President Taft had advocated the
advance in the tobacco rates. They
declined to discuss the question.
Another estimate Of the increased
revenues that would be produced by the
increases in tobacco taxes ms proposed
by the Beverjdge amendment was re-
ceived by the senate committee today
from the internal revenue commission.
If no decrease in consumption is occa-
stoned by the proposed increase, the
Beveridge amendment would raise
about 100000 in excess Of the
amount no wcoIlected.
This amount is said to be greater
than the administration desires to draw
from the tobacco industry, and it is
likely, therefore, that the rate pro
posed may be lowered, especially that
on cigars. Tho tax may then BE ex-
pected to produce from sl2 900 900 to
S15,00O,000 in excess Of the present
revenue from tobacco.
