THE STREETS OF ADANA,
ASIATIC TURKEY.

the pillage of the town. The fatali-
ties are said to be numerous. The
riots began last Wednesday and the
town of Adana has been burned and
many Christians killed in the streets.
The Moslems, having practically
wrecked the town. are said to have
now begun operations against the
Christians in the village. The foreign
consuls at Mersina have requested
that warships be sent to that port.
No definite information is obtained
as to the number of persons who lost
their lives in the fighting, though one
report says 60 Armenians were mas
sacred. Two American missionaries
are said to be among the dead. but
no names are given and the report as
to these is unconfirmed The British
vice consul at Mersina, Major Daugh-
ty-Wylie. is said to have been injured
during the trouble.
Later dispatches from Mersina say
that the massacres are spreading to
the vilayet of Adana. Disorders have
commenced at Tarsus, the little town
between Adana and Mersina noted as
the birthplace of the Apostle Paul.
and at noon yesterday many houses
there were reported to have been
burned. The number of victims at
Tarsus, according to dispatches, was
unknown.
1t is known that the regular district
meeting of the American missionaries
was due to be in session at Adana
and that Mr.. and Mrs. William Cham
bers, the Misses Elizabeth and Mary
G. Webb, Miss Wallace and Miss
Borel missionaries, were to have been
present there.

FOURTEEN RIOTERS EXECUTED
Attempt to Stop Religious Parade in
Mexican Town Is Followed
by Bloodshed.

Mexico City.-According to a dis
patch received yesterday the riot
ing which occurred at Velardena,
mining camp in Coahuila last Satur-
day, was more serious than at first
reported, 80 men being killed and
many injured. The trouble was in
stigated by Father Ramon Valenzuela,
parish priest, 1T is asserted who lies
in a hospital lowering between life
and death. Fourteen of the rioters
were executed by the government
troops and many were imprisoned.
Many Americans reside in Velardena,
as the camp is controlled by Amer
ican capital. The leaders of the mob
which was well organized, avoided
attacking Americans or destroying
American property.
The fighting occurred when the
Jefe politico of the town, an officer
corresponding to an American mayor
attempted to stop religious process
sion headed by the village priest, the
Mexican laws forbidding such parades.

Had Housed Some of the Coun-
try's Greatest Celebrities.

Asheville, n. Cor the once
beautiful Kenilworth Inn, that in
its day has housed some of the
country's greatest celebrities, nothing
remained last night but a pile of
charred and smoking ruins.
Despite the fact that the alarm was
sounded at 2:30 this morning when
all the guests were asleep, only one
person was injured, ex-senator Joseph
M. Gazzam of Pennsylvania, owner of
the hotel, who jumped from a third
story window in an effort to escape
and sustained internal injuries, the
outcome of which is doubtful.
All the out of town guests who es-
capped have been comfortably housed
in other hotels. The stories of es-
capes made in night attire are many.
One young woman walked all the way
into Asheville, three miles, barefooted
and wearing only night robe and XII
mona. Many of the guests, it is said,

mittee of Union and Progress and the

FIRE IN ROCHESTER, NY.
BUILDINGS AND HOUSES IN SEC
TioNS OF CITY DESTROYED.
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $500, 900
One Hundred Families Were Rendered
Homeless and Household Goods
Are Piled UP in Streets.

Rochester, N. Y. - Swept along
in the face of a 25-mile gale,
fire yesterday destroyed several sec
tions of the city and did damage es-
timated at 100000. For a time it
was thought that great portion of
the city would be swept, and aid was
summoned from Buffalo and Syracuse.
Generously and promptly the out of
town firemen with apparatus re-
sponded, but ere they reached the
scene the heroic work of the local
department and of volunteers had got
the flames under check and their as
sistance was not required. One hun
dred families are homeless and mill
tiamen are in the affected zones
guarding what little the people saved
of their household effects.
Mayor Eggerton has issued a call
for relief funds for these families.
Some of them are quartered in pre-
cinct houses and a large number are
spending the night in a public school.
A heavy rain set in at 6 o'clock last
night and while it helped in extin-
gushing the smouldering ruins, it was
hardship on the homeless, especially
those whose household effects are in
the open. Thieving. which started
early in the day, has been stopped by
the presence of militia.
The Palmer building. a four-story
brick structure devoted to manufac-
turing interests. at Main and Gibbs

Buildings which were destroyed in

Straight Falls.

Frank Gotch of Humboldt, Ia. last
night retained the worlds wrestling
championship by defeating Yussif
Mahmout of Bulgaria in straight falls
in a fast and furious match The
Bulgarian was as a child in the hands

Gotch won both falls with crotch
and half Nelson holds in eight min
utes and in nine minutes and ten sec

all the more notable inasmuch as he
did not use his toe hold in bringing
about the downfall of the powerful
foreigner, whose shoulders had not
hitherto been put to the mat in Amer
lea. GotCh was able to get almost
any hold he desired.
