PUTS END TO TROUBLES
AGED GERMAN STRUGGLES VAIN
LY AGAINST ADVERSELY.
Commits Suicide Near Spot Where His
Wife Was Killed by a Train
Home and Savings Gone.

Cleveland O.-SWinging among the
branches of a tree within a stones
throw of the scene of an accident that
the dead body of John Thoma, an
aged farmer was found near Corlett
station yesterday.
With the suicide has come to light
the pathetic story of broken-hearted
old man, struggling in vain under
weight of grief and misfortune, until
physical endurance could withstand
the pain no longer.
Thoma had lived for years in the
neighborhood of Corlett station, grow
ing old, happy and contented with
the wife who had been at his side
through years OF labor in his adopted
country. Eighteen months ago the
sudden accidental death of his wife
Frustrated the old man.
For months he did not rally, wan
dering aimlessly about his little farm,
trying vainly to pick up the broken
thread of his former peaceful life.
Business became a thing beyond his
grasp, and gradually misfortune after
misfortune robbed him of the savings
of lifetime.
Thus broken, hopeless and weary,
his mind seemed at times to wander
and neighbors noted and spoke pity
ingly of the wreck of their once pros
porous friend. Unable to bear his
burden longer, the old man wandered
on Wednesday to the scene of his
wife's sudden death and there ended
the great trouble.

Monument to LonqfeIIow.

The occasion was the more notable
because of the presence of members of
the diplomatic corps, men dstn-
guished in letters, and by practically
all of the living relatives of the poet.
The statue is located in a small tri-
angular parking at the intersection of
Connecticut and Rhode Island avenues.
Chief Justice Fuller of the supreme
court of the United States presided
at the unveiling exercises. The statue
was presented to the city by Brainard
II. Warner, treasurer of the Longfel-
low National Memorial association, and
was accepted by Attorney General
Wickersham, President Taft being un-
able to attend.

OVER 10000 PEOPLE
KILLED IN TARSUS
ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY FA-
NAUTICAL MOHAMMEDANS
ARE SICKENlNG.
MANY VILLAGES WIPED OUT
An lnsensate Orgy of Lust and Vio-
lence in the Name of Race and
Religion Which Lasted
Ten Days.

Tarsus, Asiatic Turkey.-Authentic
details of the atrocities committed by
the fanatical Mohammedans in the
villages and farms in this district are
now coming in to Tarsus with sicken-
ing abundance. The worst particulars
of these narratives cannot be men
toned, but they set forth without
doubt that at least 10000 persons lost
their lives in this province and some
estimates place the total casualty list
at 25,000. Villages like Osmanieh,
Bazsche, Hamadieh. Kara. Kristian,
Keoy and Kezolook were actually
wiped out.
Slaughter Unsparing.
Each of these places had populations
of from 500 to 900 people In one
town of 1000 people there are less
than 100 left, nearly all women and
children. 1t was the same thing with
the hundreds of -chiftliks, or farms,
that dot this wide and fertile plain.
The slaughter was unsparing; even
Greeks and Syrians were struck down
with the Armenians. Entire families
were burned to death in their homes.
Hundreds of girls and women were
rems. where the women were sepa-
rated from the men.
Terrible Deeds of Turks.
The correspondent was informed
that at one place party of 100 Ar
menians surrendered to the soldiers.
The prisoners were taken to an open
field, where the women were ordered
to stand apart from the men. Every
one of the men was then shot. In
many cases they were done to death
with their women clinging to them,
trying to save their lives A large
number of women were wounded be-
cause of their persistence.
Sixty men who were brought down
into this district from Hadjin are now
held as slaves. Young Turks around
Tarsus are today trading Armenian
girls among each other for horses and
modern repeating rifles. The entire
10 days seem to have been an insen-
safe orgy of lust and violence in the
name of race and religion.
Adana Still Lawless.
Adana, Asiatic Turkey.-Adana is
still lawless. More people have been
killed in the city. There are 10000 dead
in Adana province as result of the
massacres, and $4,000 homeless and
penniless refugees are wandering in
the vilayet. The deaths in Adana city
alone are estimated at $500. Adana
is terrorized by 1000 soldiers, who
are looting, shooting and burning. No
respect is paid to foreign properties
Both the French schools have beel
destroyed, and it is feared that the
American school, commercial and mis-
sionary interests in Adana are totally
ruined.

WIFE MURDERER is GUILTY
Boston Man, After Killing His Spouse,
Puts Her Dismembered Body
In a Trunk.

Cambridge, Mass.-Chester S. Jor-
dan was found guilty in the first
degree on a charge of numbering his
wife, by jury in the Middlesex coun-
ty superior court yesterday. The ver-
dict was returned after the jury had
deliberated more than 10 hours.
Jordan was charged with having
killed his wife in quarrel at their
home in Somerville. The womans
dismembered body was found in a
trunk which Jordan had taken to a
Boston lodging house. The suspicious
of a cab driver that the trunk had been
stolen led to the discovery of its con-
tents. The defense was "epileptic in
sanity" and the testimony of medical
experts was one of the features of the
trial.

A Frank Opinion,

Once youth thought it his solemn
duty to learn something about Henry
James. So, to the great admiration
of his frivolous friends, he picked up
"The Wings of the Dove" and disap-
peared into its pages.
Two weeks later he was thinner, but
still at it, when one of the afore-men-
toned frivolous friends came into the
room, and, for the first time showed
interest.
Say" he observed, "is The Wings
of the Dove a collection of short
stories or one long story?"
The deliver into James glanced up
from the pages.
"One darned long story" he replied,
throwing his whole soul into the
words.
