Constantinople, April ia mas
sacre of the Armenians is in progress
today ut Mersinn, a seaport of Asia
Minor, on the Mediterranean. En-
ragged Mt the murder of two Mostems
by the Armenians and the fact that
assassin was not apprehended, the
Mohammedan population of Mcrsina,
which counts a total of ten thousand
inhabitants, took the law into their
own hands and attacked the Armcn-
ian quarters and Christian commun-
itics of Mersina are appealing to the
consuls here for help.
The trouble Mt Mcrsina is i'll no
way connected with the political up
heaveI in Constantinople the last two
days. 1t involves recrudescence of
the Armenian question, which is IA

to do with internal politics in Turkey.

But he didn't. After long session,
lasting until six O'Clock, those partici-

ers of these corporations this morning.
at which meeting II. p. Baldwin, the
heaviest holder, will be present. Both
plantations have had prosperous years
and in both the assets have SO far
outrun the capitalization that some
equalization seems necessary.
The plantations form part Of the
holdings of the Maui Agricultural com.
pany, the assets of which are five and
a half million dollars and which in
the last season shipped twenty-nine
thousand tons of sugar. The Haiku
plantation, which represents n holding
of twelve thirty.ffths of the company,
is capitalized at only half a million,
and the Paia plantation, which holds
eighteen thirty.ffths of the shares of
the company, has a capitalization of
only three.quarters of n million. The
capitalization of the two combined is
only n million and quarter and their

Plans 10 Send an Expedition TO
Summit OF the Peak
Next Year.
AND AGAIN CHARGES BRIBERY
Insists That He Can Prove That
He Scaled the Mountain
as Claimed.
(By Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, October 16.-Doctor
Cook says he will send an expedition
next year to climb Mount Mckinley
and secure the records which he placed
on, the summit Of the peak when he
made the ascent. Should he produce
these records the doctor will be able
to refute the charges made by Barrill
and the photographer who accompanied
the Mount Mckinley expedition, to the
effect that the data concerning the
ascent, and the photographs, were
faxed by Doctor Cook.
Doctor Cook has not receded from
the stand which he took at the begin.
ming of the controversy and yesterday
he reiterated his belief that Barrill
received money to make the affidavit
that Mount Mckinley was not scaled
and that the claims of Cook are with.
out foundation.
The Cook-Peary controversy has more
OF less been lost sight Of in the recent
discussion as TO whether or not Mount
Mckinley was scaled by Doctor Cook.
The affidavit of Barrill has Occasioned
widespread discussion. Doctor Cook
appears TO be sincere In his determine.
tion to send an expedition TO the sum
NIT Of Mount Mckinley and he insists
that such an expedition will discover
records which he placed on the top OF
the mountain when he made the climb.

WILL CONFER ON
FOREST RESERVE
Public Meeting to Discuss
Reforestation of the
Kohala Lands.

A public conference Of great import.
ance is to be held in the throne room
of the Capitol on next Monday after.
noon, for the purpose of having dis.
cussed the matter of the proposed Ko-
hala forest reserve. The board Of agri.
culture and forestry issues an invita-.
ton for all interested in the subject TO
attend and take part in the confer
ence.
The proposal Of the board is to'have
set apart as Il forest reserve n tract in
Kohala approximating 27l60 acres,
Part Of this land is government leased
land, part public land and part is own.
ed by private individuals. 1t is all
mountain land and most Of IT was at
one time forested. But the forests are
gone now and the region is suffering
in consequence. IT IL the desire OF
the board to have the land reforested,
trees most suitable to the climate and
soil to be planted.
The question of setting this land
aside as forest reserve was proposed
as long ago as 1904, and has been dis
cusscd at intervals ever since, but no
agreement among the different parties
interested has yet been reached. 1T Is
hoped TO have the matter thoroughly
threshed out this time and some basis
of agreement found.
