BY A MISSIONARY

ScnOOl TO say th1L the only nope OF
safety to any Americans seemed to be
to return to the school, staying there
alone separated from the Armenians. He
declared that we were powerless TO save
the Armenlans. After we left the school
Miss Wallace, Mr. Chambers and n
young Armenian preacher attempted to
cross the street from Miss Wallace s to
the school. Just at this time a mob
rushed around the corner The infu-
rated Turks recognized the preacher as
an Armenian and although Mr.. Cham
bers threw his arms about him they
shot him dead Not single Armenian
shouting as Mr.. Chambers dragged the
body of the murdered preacher into the
building
Confusion Is Great,
Miss Webb related how Mr.. Trow.
bridge persuaded four Zabties to 90
with him TO the government house to
demand protection.
Two OF them deserted him on the way,
declaring they were afraid of being
killed by assassins. Everything was
confusion at the government house and
after long delay a detachment of $50
troops was dispatched to their relief
In concluding her narrative, Miss
Webb SAYS:
''The British consul sent message
TO the governor on Friday that if this
thing was not stopped he would de.
mand of the government and the com
mander of the troops a satisfactory ex-
planation Whether or not they were
powerless to stop the dreadful work be-
fore this / do not know, but any way
it was then stopped"

Willie WHITLA
STILL MISSING.
Few Developments in Sharon
Kidnapping Case.
CONFLICTING STATEMENTS

According to Detectives a Fourth Let
ter Has Been Received From the
Abductors, but the Father of the
Boy Denies This and Says He Has
Discharged the Police and Private
"sleuths" in His Employ
Sharon, Pa, March 49, Conflicting
statements issued by detectives and
Mr.. Whitla greatly confused newspa-
per men at work on the kidnapping
case.
According to the detectives fourth
letter has been received from the alb
ductors and their capture, they al
lege, is only a matter of a few hours.
Although this statement from detec-
tives was made Immediately following
a conference with Mr. Whitla and
while the officers were still in Mr.
Whitla's Office the missing lads
father the next instant called the
newspaper men into his private office
and told them he had discharged al
the detectives and in the future did
not desire or want the services of the
police.
When the detectives and MT
Whitla were told of the statements
made by each other apparently all
were surprised.
Detective Perkins of Pittsburg is
responsible for the assertion that
fourth letter has been received by
Mr.. Whitla from his boys captors.
The letter, he says, is postmarked
Cleveland, O. He further said a de-
tective has been sent to Cleveland.
In his statement Mr.. Whitla says
there are absolutely no new develop
ments in the case All he wants, he
says, is to get into communication
with the abductors and he has dis
charged all the police and detectives
in his employ. Mr.. Whitla also con
veys the information that he has Of
fered no reward, nor does he intend
to do SO. All that he wants, he says,
is the boy and he is willing to deal
with the kidnappers and pay the $10,-
600 ransom at any time. In conclu-
sion the statement is to the effect that
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitla are holding up
as well under the circumstances as
could be expected. E. u.
I. So far nothing has been heard from
the three squads of state constabulary
who are engaged in running down
clues III this vicinity and Ohio.

IN HOTEL LOBBlES
The Hippodrome Popular.

The Hippodrome, recently transformed into a vaudeville theater, is one of the most spacious and one of the best ap- pointed show houses in the country. It not only has large seating capacity but its seats are comfortable and every appointment of the building, including ventilation and electric fans, is admira- ble.
 A well-known citizen who attended the performance last night said:
 ''The hippodrome is a distinct credit cents (matinee 5 cents) and it is hard to see how the management can make it pay at those prices. But large crowds have been present at each performance and if such audiences continue the box office end will turn out all right.
 Not only did I find the bill morally clean. but the house and the service are indicative of good taste and refreshingly modern. I took especial interest in the Morrette sisters, because they are Birm- ingham girls. They have a headliner place on the programme and sustain their parts we'll In private life the Morrette sisters are the Misses Harms, daughters of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Harms They are aged respectively 10 and ', and brighter or more engaging children have never seen on the stage. They have recently returned from a successful two months tour. Their mother, who is one of Birmingham's best known and most esteemed amateurs, always travels with them, of course, and to her training is due, no doubt, their grace of motion and their clever stunts

Five Hundred Men and Their Money

The new 300 club to be organized under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce is to be no doubt a money making corporation, and this is an ex- cellent feature of the plan. The sum of $500,000 is to be gotten together in the course of ten years, and this mon- ey is to be used in subscribing for stocks in new industries. In this way the 800 club would become a holding company, but it would be a very use- full and beneficial holding company The hope is that 1t will be we'll man. aged and that it will in turn earn and pay good dividends.
 The plan is business-like and the formation of the new city broadens it's plan and purposes It inspires greater efforts. It calls for renewed activity in securing new industries, and when one is secured it's location from Wy lam to East Lake, inclusive, need not matter, for all the valley will soon be in one city. The hope should be that an industry can be found that will fill the place soon to be vacated at Ensley of the wire and rod mill.
 This city has long needed a strong, well-mangaged company whose object is the securing of new industries, and the 800 club completely fills the bill The plan cannot be improved on. No gifts are anticipated, but subscriptions for stock in promising companies will be made and in that way many an industry can be induced to locate where all the railroads of the south east meet, and where there is fuel to burn at low prices.

MRS. DUKE LANDS
 IN PRISON CELL

Chicago, August 31-Mrs. Alice Webb Duke, divorced wife of Brodie L. Duke, was arrested here tonight and spent ths night in a cell at the Harrison street station. Mrs. Duke was arrested on the complaint of an automobile company be- cause of her inability to pay $40 rent for a machine during the day.
 Before her arrest, Mrs. Duke created disturbance at the Palmer house, and in the criminal court building. At the Palmer house she demanded the best suit in the hotel and when asked to pay for it in advance, admitted she had no money, but said tomorrow she would have 5000. She then tried to send tele- grams to Governor Deneen of this state and other prominent men, but the tele- graph operators in the hotel refused to accept them unless paid for in advance.
 Later sine went to the criminal court building and told Assistant States At torney Day that relatives of her former husband were plotting to take her life. After leaving there she visited number of lawyers and business men and tried to interest them in plan to float a bond issue to save Turkey from bankruptcy. Mrs. Duke had been using hired auto mobile for all these trips and when the chauffeur demanded his money she de- clared she had none.

Harmony In the Greater City

In an excellent cooperative spirit the conference of Monday last con cluded to hold the get-together jubilee when the new city is an actual, living, throbbing fact. The day of jubilee will, therefore be after but near Jan- uary 1. This conclusion is no doubt wise, for it is always better to cele- brate what is done than what is to be.
 Much work remains to be done be- tween the present and the 1st day of January next, and the manner in which this work is accomplished will deter-, mine whether the new city is to be ushered in on New Years day with friction, or without 1t. If all sections of the new city are treated justly, it is safe to say there will be no friction. Each section should be just in it's ex- pectations and then even-handed jus tice should be handed out to all con cerned. A spirit of fairness, tolera- ton, respect for other sections, should prevail. Any attempt at machine building or political chicanery will be detected and surely punished by the people who desire nothing but fair play in the work of organizing the new city.
 No doubt preparations for big eel ebration are necessary, but these prep arations will become easy and feasible if we lay at once a basis of fair play and justice to all. This is the first requisite, and this work should be taken up without undue delay.

pEEpMEYERs IN CANADA.

From the Charlottetown CPrince Edward
 Island, Canada) Patriot.
 MT. Frank Deedmeyer, lately appointed United States consul at Charlottetown, has exhibited his exequatur to His Honor Lieutenant Governor McKinnon, and His Worship Mayor Prowse. This is most interesting document. and bears the sig nature and private seal of His Majesty King Edward VII and His Excellency Earl Grey. MT. Deedmeyer is now oc- cupying the American consulate in the Lowden property, on the Esplanade. and is in the full exercise or his consular duties We heartily welcome this ac- complished gentleman and his wife and family to our city. Charlottetown has been very fortunate in the splendid type of representatives who have occupied the United States consulate here, and 1t is not too much to expect that MT. Deedmeyer will prove a worthy successor to his es- timable predecessors and will further strengthen the national and social bond existing between the two greatest Eng lish-speaking countries in the world.

AMENDMENT PROPOSITION.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 This constitutional amendment propo- sition is, and 1t should be considered soley matter of policy. Democrats and republicans and men of any other polit- ical faith should be free to discuss and vote on it just as their conscience and judgment dictate. Men of any religious faith or denomination should be as free to vote as they please on this question as are the men who do not belong to any church or profess any religious faith. In our estimation 1t Is a grievous wrong to attempt to make it matter of re- ligion and attempt to dictate how mem bers of any church should vote. We want to see a fair and open fight made on what we consider a vital question, but we don't want 1t to be made either a party or religious question, for either will be dangerous and unwise.

 S. Any apparent violators who were not known to be of good character and reputation were to be accompanied to the precinct station, where the matter would be carefully inquired into by the officer in charge, and the proper action as specified by the common-sense policy taken.
 This system has been in use IS months, resulting in a decrease of 20,- S33 arrests below the record of 1907, and in a marked decrease of crime and of property stolen.
 Judge Feagins probation plan for negro boys, and drunkards, and misde- meanor cases, is fully set forth. He puts many of such cases on probation irstead of disgracing them and their families by putting them at work on the streets. The law permits him to do this. The probation officer has su- pervision over 80 men, who are earn ing a support for their families and who are in the meanwhile kept away from criminals. The so may become good citizens. There is a chance that they may, whereas under the old sys- tenn there was small chance indeed that they would. No system in the court records of the country is accom- plishing more, comparatively speak ing, than Judge Feagin's probation plan. But the inquiry naturally arises will we ever have another Judge Fea- gin?
