ballot resulted In a deadlock. which
threatened to become permanent, as
each candidate had received less than
800 votes. On the second ballot DR..

became evident that the east as well
as the far west was lending Its support
to the two other candidates.
At this juncture DR.. McEwan took
the floor and said that In the inter-
ests Of harmony and in order that the
business OF the assembly might pro-
coed with greater dispatch, he would
withdraw. On the next ballot DR.. Nc
Evans strength went to Dr. Barley
and he received far more than the

BLAME ARMENIANS FOR
MURDER OF AMERICANS
Messages From Asia Minor Show
Clearly Inquiry Into Massacre 10
"WhiteWash Afford"

WhtteWaoh Afford."
CONSTANTINOPLE May 21.-Mes-
sages today from the commission
sent to Asia Minor TO investigate the
recent massacres there indicate clear
ly that not only will the report be a
"whitewash" as far as the Mohamme-
dams are concerned, but that II will
actually place the blame for the kill
Ing OF nearly 10000 Christians upon
the Armenian population.
The messages admit that the Chris
tian victims will exceed $4,000 and
that entirep rovinces are now facing
starvation as a result of the wanton
destruction of property, out they say
that the existence OF an Armenian So
ciety has been discovered, the pur-
pose OF which was to throw of the
rule of Turkey. This made 1t neces-
sary, the dispatches say, for the au-
thorities and the Mohamedan popu.
lstion to deal with the Armenians IN
the severest manner.
It Is conceded that the Turks acted
with excessive cruelty. inasmuch as 1t
Is impossible to prove that the Ar
menian society had membership OF
more than sixty.
The wounding OF British Vice Consul
Richard Daughty.Wylie at Mersina,
who was shot during the rioting, Is
declared by the commission to have
been done by the maddened Armen-
fans.
The investigators are now seeking
to lay the blame for the killing OF the
two American missionaries, Rogers
and Maurer upon the same people. de-
spite the fact that letters from fellow
workers OF the dead missionaries pos
itively stated that they were shot by
the Moslem mobs.
