Hepburn UphOIdS The Interstate Commerce
 LaW As H NOzV Stands

Colonel Hepburn believes that the law as it stands today is in most respects strong enough to guard the interests of shippers What it needs is enforcement, and he believes that if the body was en- be enabled to catch up with it's work. Par ticularly does he doubt the wisdom of converting it into court.
 ''I have always contended,' said he, that the commission should be kept as far as possible from the idea that 1t Is a court. It should be primarily what it's name indicates 1t is-a commission. It's duties should be in the main administra- tive. At timeg 1t has to hear and decide cases, of course"
 He takes the view that to have the ad- minstrative and the quasi-judicial func- tions separated, with one body admins tering and the other passing judgment. might lead to confusion to working at cross-purposes and to weakening of government regulation.
 Touching on the supreme court decision in the COT = case, Colonel Hepburn said he t .Sr the interpreta- ton was just abe s at Congress ex- pected when the 2 n was passed. He thinks it was ne ~ intention of Con- gress to extend <s prohibition against railroads carryD v \ or the coal of cor porations in WI co icy had stock inter est. Consequ < 2 he thinks Congress will be slow e t anything in the na- ture of the Co ments just introduced in the Senat {, S House, extending pro- hibitions of ,mmodities clause.

STORY OF ATROCITIES
 COMMITTED BY MOSLEMS

Latakia, Asiatic Turkey, May That the casualties of Kessab were not greater is due to the fact that many women and children left the town the night before iis destruction and found refuge in the surrounding country or in the Caladran valley The men of Kessab remained be- hind to fight 1t out with the Turks who began gathering for the attack. The fight ing began at daylight on April 22
 The Turkish assailants divided into two bands. One attacked the towns and some pursued the women. Some of the women fugitives were not able to keep up and hid in caves by the way. Whether they are safe or not is not known. Others escaped up step path over the mountains to Bedroozovet, a village further to the south. Although BedroozoVet is a Moslem community, the people received the Ar menian women kindly and hid them from the passing Turks.

Washington, May 7.-(Special. .)-Former Representative W. P. Hepburn of Iowa, once chairman of the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce. be- lieves that Congress will be slow to change the interstate commerce law in such fashion as to give the administra- tive functions now exercised by the commission to some other department of the government Hepburn's name is at tached to the rate law. and no man in Washington is more familiar with the legislation relating to trade between states.
 Just now the administration is giving a good deal of attention to the question of amending the law and one plan which the President is seriously considering Is to turn over to the department of com merce and labor the administrative func- tions of the commission, leaving that body only quasi-judicial duties
 None of the plans which have been called to my attention is entirely satis- factory, said Colonel Hepburn. q can see that serious trouble might arise if the administrative duties of the commission were turned over to another body. Some thing will have to be done to remedy the present situation. The commission Is to- day months behind in it's work. In my opinion it should be enlarged. I think that plan should be tried first"

BRITISH TRADE IN
 IRON AND STEEL

Washington, May 7.-Pools among bar. makers, rail pools and other combinations or third of a century's steadiness in the quantity of native iron ore mined. and the variation in values of such products are among the matters threshed in a re. port on the condition of British iron and steel industries submitted by J. M Pen. per, special agent of the bureau of man. ufactures.
 The values of ore are in a gradually low. erlnB scale The report quotes figures on the cost or the production of pig iron in the leading manufacturing districts rang Ing from $9. 92 on the east coast to s13 4s per ton for the Bessemer ore hematite ot the west coast. The ultimate cost per ton of British steel in Bessemer works and auxiliary blast furnaces, he states to be S23S5 for steel ingots and SIS. 49 for steel rails.
 MT. Pepper places the cost of the pig iron in this manufacture at s135O. Wages are given as follows:
 Per ton of pig iron, $1 O6; per ton of in- gots, 6sc; per ton of rails $1 66
 A difference of opinion exists between British manufacturers of iron and steel as to the future of the industry, but thev are not worried over the possibility of inc industry disappearing through the ex haustion of the natural resources of sum ply.

SITUATION IN PARIS IS
 STILL VERY STRAINED

Paris, May 7.-Both public sympathy and the law seemed today to be against the Posts Telegraph association which yes terday gave challenge to the govern ment by transforming itself into syndi- cate or union under the laws of 1884. This action placed the association on the same footing as the WorlSnens unions and was calculated to give it the right to strike against its employer, the state. The news papers this morning, with the exception of the extreme socialist organs, are un- sparing in their denunciation of the stand taken by teh association as an act Of re- bellion, and they urge the government to proceed with energy and crush the in surrection before the movement engulfs the other state employees.
 Evidence accumulates today that the formation of this union yesterday was on- ly the first step in far reaching plan of the general federation of labor to place the entire machinery of the government at its mercy. The laws of 1884 limit un- ions to professions and trades engaged in "competitive industry and the at torney general of the Republic is expected to decide summarly that the syndicate is illegal and order its dissolution.

Thompson May HOldKey
 To ALaban1a Judgeship
 Hn Message From T0ft
By PATTERSON sTEALEY.

that w. I. Grubb is the man slated at present for the Northern district ermne. Mir Thompson declines to discuss his long interview with the President. It is presumed that the Alabama situation was gone over thouoghlyi and in connec- ton with the Hundley case the President frankly stated that he believed he was in the right in deciding to make Judicial appointments without regard to the rec concentrations of his political advisers.
 MT Thompson's friends here claim that future appointments of an entirely po- litical nature will be largely in his con- trol, and that the Hundley case cannot be accepted as a fair example of how the other offices in the state are going. However there will be a fight over every big federal office and the postoffice pend ing and who will land the plums cannot be foretold accurately at this time. It Is also stated by Mir. Hundley's friends here that the appointment of MT Grubb will be fully satisfactory to them in view of the fact that MT Hundley has failed to secure a reappointment

As soon as this is done the organizers of the movement will be subject to heavy fines and Imprisonment if they persist in meeting.
 Several meetings of postal employees were held tonight, but the attendance was somewhat small. The speakers urged an active propaganda in the various beau- raus so that the strike would be an ov- erwhelming one when the moment for its commencement arrived
 The leaders in the movement have pla- carded Paris with a statement printed in big type, outlining their case against the government and appealing to public opin- ion for support.
 M. Barthou, the minister of public works declares that the government in the event of attempt being made to strike will instantly dismiss from the service any postmen who cease work. This action will be taken under the chamber of deputies ote of confidence on March g, last, during the strike of state em- ployes The resolution of confidence was drawn up to meet just such an eventuali- ty. it is said.
 The chamber of deputies is resolved not to tolerate the strike of state employees. It Is confident of the governments abil- ity to restore peace and order in the house services and approves of the dec laration of the government.

Kessab are Turkomans and so far as has been heard they have been friendly to the Armenians and have done all they could for the fugitives.
 At the conclusion of the fighting at kessab the Armenian men who were still alive drew off to the mountains leaving the old and sick behind them. The casual ty list at Kessab was heavy Fifteen men fuSitives from Kessab came in here yes- terday and thousands of others are arriv- ing by different routes. A French steamer brought 220O yesterday from northern ports. Each refugee has his recital of the calamity and death. The local governor Is giving the fugitives every possible care and in these acts of mercy he has been joined by the better class of Moham- medans.
 Not even the rabble has made any un- friendly demonstrations
 Everything was burned at Kessab, in- cluding the houses of the American mis- sion. This establishment was a sub-sta- ton of LatalSia. There were no Armenians at Kessab at the time of the saclxing of the town.

Washington, May 7.-tSpecial.)-Collec- tor J. o. Thompson of Birmingham left for home tonight, bearing with him, it is believed, here, a message from the President to Judge Oscar R. Hundley of the Northern Alabama district in forming him that he regretted that con ditions were such that he could not re- appoint him, In connection herewith, it is believed that the President will offer to MT. Hundley some other position in the government service. probably the diplomatic service. This will show that the President in declining to re-appoint MT Hundley judge, shows that he does not take this course for lack of conf- dence in him. and is ready to place at his disposal a position of honor under the administration. Collector Thompson, who with Postmaster General Hitchcock, was the guest of the President at dinner tonight is believed to have been informed that MT. Hundey Is out of the race and
