NUMBER OF VICTIMS
IS GROWING
LARGER
THIRTY THOUSAND KILLED IN
ARMENIAN MASSACRES-
AMERICANS IN DANGER.

Beirut, April PA conservative
estimate now places the number of
killed in the Armenian massacres in
Adana vilayet at from 10000 to 10000
At the town of Adana more than 100
girls are missing. 1t is known that 21
native pastors have been killed Fears
are entertained that other American
missionaries than those whose deaths
have been reported have been mur-
dered
There are 5000 refugees in Adana
and Tarsus and 5000 at Mersina
Marash and Aintavh are quiet, but
conditions at Hadjin are becoming
critical. A messenger dispatched for
relief by Miss Lambert, the American
missionary who two days ago sent an
appeal to Constantinople, has been
killed in the streets. A second mes
senger, a soldier, who was shot at, has
given assurances of the safety of the
Americans.
Conditions at Alexandretta are un-
changed. Beilan and Dortyole are
holding out. An appeal for help has
been issued from Latakia as the mob
is nearing that city and American
property is threatened. Antioch is
quiet, there being no Armenians left
in that town No disturbances have
occurred in Beirut tonight.

SHRUBB WINS RACE
FROM ST. YVES
ENGLISHMAN AGAIN PROVES
H'MskLF GREAT MIDDLE
DISTANCE RUNNER.

New York, April 24.-Alfred Shrubb
of Persham, England, once more
proved himself the greatest middle
distance runner in the business by de-
feating Henri st, Yves of France at
the American league grounds tonight.
At no time was the result in doubt.
When eight miles had been covered
Shrubb had a lead of two laps, and
this seemed to content him, for. he ran
the rest of the race at st. Yves side.
During the last two miles of the race
st. Yves made frantic efforts to over
take his rival, but to no avail.
Shrubbs time for the race, l hour,
26 minutes and IL seconds, was over
four minutes behind the professional
record and nearly six minutes behind
the amateur mark. This slow time was
due to the fact that the Frenchman
could not make him do his best dur
ing the last half of the race.

3: 33 As, held by the Brooklyn Manual
Training school, was reduced two
fifths of a second by the same insti-
tuition.

IDENTIFIES MAYBRAY
AS NJ M'CANN
WOMAN DECLARES PRISONER is
MAN SUPPOSED TO HAVE
BEEN MURDERED.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 24.-Claim-
ing to represent the British consul at
st. Louis in behalf of Lord Barring
ton, in the penitentiary for life for the
murder of James p. Mccain of ST
Louis, Miss Lillian Gates of St. Louis
created a sensation by appearing in
the United States marshal's office and
identifying James c. Maybray alleged
horse race promoter, as being McCann,
the victim of Darlington 1t developed
later in the day that Miss Gates was a
friend of harrington, that she had
made the same claim of other men,
and that she is engaged in an en-
deavor to get Darlington out of prison.
Later in the day &. A Deming of st.
Louis, a grain broker, appeared at the
federal Jail and examined Maybray.
Deming asserts that he knew McCann
in st. Louis, and while Maybray bore
strong resemblance, he could not
positively swear that they were one
and the same person. Police officials
here are inclined to doubt the woman's s
story.

iNTiMATlON THAT TEllERS' RE-
PORT is CHANGED CREATES
EXCITEMENT.
OPENS THE CONTEST ANEW
Difficulty at D. A. r. Convention Is
Finally Strengthened out by Re-
count of Ballots and the Discovery
of a Mistake-ResolutiSns Of Thanks
Adopted and Adjournment Taken.

Washington, April 24-The eigh-
teenth congress of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution came to a
close tonight. A suggestion, practical
ly accepted, that the report of the tell
ers who counted the recent vote had
undergone a change since 1t was sign
ed, threw the congress into state of
confusion and opened up anew the
contests between the insurgents and
the regulars over the offices.
The tellers last night informally an
nounced that Mrs. l.. B. Swormstedt
of the District of Columbia, the regu
lar, or administration candidate for
corresponding secretary general, had
come within one vote of a majority,
and therefore there was no election. 1t
also was stated that Miss Mary Will
cox of the District of Columbia, insur-
gent candidate for recording secretary,
had beaten her opponent, Mrs. Hodg-
kins, also of the District of Columbia,
securing 435 votes, an exact majority.
1t was this latter vote that gave rise
to much discussion, which hinged on
whether scattering votes had been in
cluded in the grand total, the vote of
Mrs. Hodgkins being 434. The situa-
tion was becoming so tense that at
suggestion of Mrs. Mclean the tellers
retired and recounted the vote. Mrs.
Elroy Avery of Ohio, chairman of the
tellers, reported that she had made an
error by according Mrs. Hodgkins ten
more votes than she deserved. The
tellers unified in vote of confidence,
and Miss Wilcox was declared elected
and balloting for corresponding sec
retary general began.
On the second ballot Mrs. Mabel G..
Swormstedt an administration candi-
date was declared elected to the office
of corresponding secretary general, re-
ceiving 1873 votes, defeating the candi-
date of the insurgents, Mrs. Eleanor I.
Thorne of the District Of Columbia,
who polled 1s1 votes. Just before final
adjournment all sorts of resolutions of
| thanks were adopted but the press
was omitted from mention. At this
juncture Mrs. Anna Benning, state re-
gent of Georgia, moved that apprecia-
| ton of the courtesies extended by the
| newspapers be shown by the congress
in the adoption of an appropriate reso-
| luton.
THANK the press? For what, for
what?" asked Mrs. Mclean sternly.
Mrs. Mclean refused a vote on the
motion and declined to recognize any
| one for that purpose. Final sessions
| of the congress resembled a love
| feast, the delegates forgetting for the
moment the bitterness that has char
acterized the contests for the different
offices.

ern shoe firm.

junction with eastern manufacturers of

Constantinople April 24.-The const-

Complete tranquility prevails in the
city at present, but anxious looks are
cast in the direction of the Yildiz, the
refusal of part of it's garrison to sub

situation. General Schefket is con-
centrating large forces near this
point Troops have been pouring in
since noon, and several batteries
have been planted on the neighboring
heights, but it is feared that the task
of capturing this well-guarded strong
hold may be extremely difficult ow-
ing to it's excellent defensive position
and the thoroughly preparedness OF
the garrison.
Easily Taken.
The other positions already cap
tured by the investing army were not
provided with artillery, which gave
the assailants an immense advantage,
since they were able to shell the bar
racks without reply from artillery
The Yildiz garrison not only possesses
artillery, but it is believed that the
neighborhood is mined. Apparently
General Schefket and the other lead
ers of the Saloniki troops are anxious
to avoid further bloodshed, hence
their desire to give the sultan and
his advisers ample time for considera
ton.
The sending forward of the advance
posts of the Saloniki army yesterday
afternoon to within two and one-hal1
miles of the palace foreshadowed the
attack on the city that began at
