Armenians Butchered and
Their Women Frightfully
Maltreated.

Tarsus, Asiatic Turkey. May 4.-Au-
thentic details of the actrocities COM
mitted by fanatical Mohammedans in
this district are now coming in with
sickening abundance. The worst par
ticulars cannot be mentioned but there
is no doubt that 10000 lost their lives
and many persons were wounded.
Some put the death list as high as 25,-
900. Many villages containing from
five to six hundred inhabitants are act
ually wiped out and of one town Of A.
600 people only 100 left. nearly all wo-
men and children. The same thing
with farms in the fertile valley. Even
Greeks and Syrians were struck down,
whole families burned in the homes
and the girls and women mal-treated
and carried to the harems. In one
place hundred Armenians surrender
ed. They were taken in an open field
and shot down. The young Turks
around Tarsus are today trading
Armenian girls for horses and repeat
ing rifles. Never has there been evi-
denced such desire to kill as has been
seen the last ten days. In many in
stances the victims were brought out
and shot, the bystanders clapping their
hands at each succeeding murder. In
the meantime the Moslems are pastur.
ing horses and cattle In the green
crops of thir Armenian victims.
Massacres Continue.
Adana, May 4,---Adana is still law
less. More people were killed yes
terday. Thirty thousand are dead in
Adana province as the result of the
massacres and thirty-five thousand
homeless refugees are wandering in
the Vilayet.

BUFFALO" JONES
WANTS TO MOVE
Will Bring His Herd and Flock to the
Pajarito Cliff Dwelling Park,
It is Announced.

Buffalo" Jones, will bring his heard
of So buffalo and flock of 1000 Persian
sheep to Santa Fe, if present nego.
tiations succeed and there is every in
dication that they will be put through
very shortly. Outside of few buffalo
in Yellowstone Park and at Banff, Can
ada, Buffalo Jones has corralled the
only survivors of the once numerous
race. His Persian sheep, too, are the
finest in the world Both buffalo and
sheep are at Garden City, Kansas, at
present, but under proclamation issued
by President Roosevelt before he went
out of office, Buffalo Jones may
place the buffalo on forest reserve
and his present plan is to bring them
to the .Jemez Reserve and to place
the sheep on the Ramon Vigil grant,
for which permission has been grant
ed by the Ramon Land and Lumber
Company The herd and flock are to
be an additional attraction for visitors
to the Pajarito Cliff Dwelling park,
twenty miles west of Santa Fe. Only
one difficulty stands in the way. When
the herds were moved to Garden City,
the people of that place, subscribed
$700 to the stock of the company which
Jones formed for the raising and hand
ling OF the animals. This must in
justice be returned to the people of
Garden City. who desire to give up
their stock in the concern. and this
amount must be raised before the
transfer can be made. There should be
no trouble, however. for as an attrac-
ton the buffalo and Persian, sheep will
prove great drawing card. Judge A.
J. Abbott Of this city. and B. s. Phil
lips of the Ramon Vigil grant, are
friends Of Buffalo Jones and he has
written them in the matter. Jones
Is at present on lecturing tour.

SAYS ALFALFA
CROP IS SHORT
High Winds Have Affected Crops In
the MesiIIa Valley Adversely
Says oscar c. Snow.

Hon. Oscar G.. Snow Of the Mesilla
valley, member Of the Territorial
Beard of Water Commissioners, and
of the board of trustees of the Terri
torial Asylum for the Blind at Ala
mogordo, who is In the city today,
was given the following interview in
the Ell Paso Herald of yesterday
Oscar c. Snow, the largest alfalfa
rancher in the Mesilla Valley, who
was in Ell Paso Sunday en- route to
Alamogordo to attsnd-a meeting OF
the directors of the Blind Asylum,
stated that the reports that the al
falfa crop in the Mesilla Valley this
year would be heaviest in the history
of the valley were erroneous. Mr..
Snow, who knows all about alfalfa
and then some, says that the first
cutting this year is not going to be
paying one, as 1t is ragged and will
not run more than from 1000 to 1900
pounds to the acre.
The blooms are from to in.
ches high he said in speaking Of the
forage crop, and the terminal buds
are frozen so that the production Is
going to be the lightest in years at
first cutting. The reports from the
valley that the first crop of hay would
be a record breaker were unfound-
ed, for the hay looks pretty ragged
just now and it Will not run over
1900 pounds to the acre and there is
no hope for the two tons to the acre
crop that has been reported.
" The second crop of hay, how
ever, should be dandy one, for the
land will be rested up from the fail
ure of the primary crop to fully de-
velop and the second cutting should
run up in money.
"Mr. Snow gives as the reason for
the poor crop of hay, the high winds
that have been blowing this spring.
He says that this has done more to
retard the growth of the plant than
anything else and he has had to re-
plant his oat crop and other cereals
that were growing before this time
last year. I planted oats and wheat
last year on April 6th,' he said in
speaking of the late spring. This
year ! had to replant as late as the
goth and these crops are going to
be almost a month later this year
than they were last

EXPRESS RATES ARE
GREATLY REDUCED
Cooperation Commissions order No.
203, Reducing Express Rates,
Appealed 10 Supreme Court.

A great many Oklahoma shippers
are constantly complaining about the
present excessive express rates.
MIR. J. e. Love, chairman of the cor
poration commission says:
THE commission. last year, pro-
posed substantial reduction in ex-
press rates, and last winter gave
the express companies and others con
cerned, exhaustive hearings, consum-
ing several weeks time.
On May 26th, 1909, the commission
issued it's order No. 2O3, which reduc.
ed all express rates between points
in the state of Oklahoma approximate
ly twenty-five per cent. The order was
made so as to 90 into effect on August
1, 1909.
On July 26th. the express companies
operating in Oklahoma apk sisd from
said order to the supreme court OF the
state Of Oklahoma. and made suspend
ing bonds to supersede the order pend
ing the appeal.
The commission included provisions
ia each bond requiring monthly re-
ports. under oath, showing for each
and every shipment between points in
the state date of shipment, name and
postofiee address Of shipper and con
signee. name of point or origin and
destination full description of articles,
weight and rate Of charge. and the
amount collected in excess OF the
rates made by the commission. In
case the supreme court sustains the
order of the commission, all these over
collections viii be refunded to the citi-
zens paying same The report will be
carefully checked by trained men EN-
ployed By the commission
In order to guarantee these reports
and refunds, bonds were required as
follows.
Wells-Fargo & Co ........ 5000, 10000
United States Express Co. 100000
American Express Co. ... S5,O00O0
Pacific Express Co. ..... 4,500Ov
Total bonds two hundred seventy
two thousand, FIVE hundred dollars
About five thousand copies of the
opinion and order 2O3 have ben mail
ed 70 citizens throughout the state. but
II appears very little publicity has re-
suited therefrom, in fact, the commits
sion is receiving complaints every day
concerning express rates. It is very
essential that all the people should
know the present status Of the case.

Guthrie. Okla. oct. 1.-The eorpor.
alton commission has Just issued their
docket for the October term contain
ing forty-slx cases set down for hear
ing. These cases cover a wide range
OF subjects.
One Of the most important cases Is
complaint hled by T. w Wardwell
OF Oklahoma city against All the rail
roads doing business IN the state Of
Oklahoma and asking that the rail-
road companies be required to furnish
seats In the pullman cars free OF
charge to passengers when the day

passengers cannot get seats
Another case of Importance Is a

Is the owner of new opera house
and claims that they win not connect
his opera house with the city lighting
system,
A case which is OF more Importance
to an the people of the state, one
which eceets the interests of almost
every citizen of the state is proposed
order No. 81. in which the corporation
commission win seek to promulgate
all Of the telephone rates of the whole
state

mulgate the telephone rates for the
whole state IL viii insure that the
rates viii be equitable and that the
people in one part Of the state will
pay no more. according to the serv-
ices performed than the people in any
other part OF the state.
OF course Il is to be expected that
this proposed order will be vigorously
contested by the stronger telephone
companies It is likely that most OF
the mutual telephone companies will
gladly assent to this arrangement
