 SEVERAL CANNES

Special from United Press.)
 South NorWalk, Oct. A mad dog ran amuck in tSVhistleville, this morn ing. af1d bit several dogs. The sub- urb is excited and parents are keeping children indoors. The mad dog es- caped and none of the other dogs have been found Armed with shotguns, a posse is looking for the animals.

PETERSBURG EXPRESS
 RECALLS OLD DAYS TO
 VETERANS IN HARTFORD.

One of the historical objects before which the old soldiers in Hartford passed yesterday was the celebrat- ed Petersburg Express used by the First Connecticut Artillery. Many a man has paused before it. Some of them have kept on pausing. It is an example or rather the way in which it was used, is an example of Yankee originality such as is fitting to be preserved on Capitol Hill. 1t stands near the corner of Trinity street and Capitol avenue, and is a grim remind CT. in plain sight of the State Library and Supreme Court building, that the fmmutable laws of justice rest, after all. as far as their immutability is concerned, on force properly direct ed.
 The force which this old mortar spOuted out into the atmosphere was expended in that memorable siege or Petersburg which helped to bring the war to a close. It was mounted on a flat platform railroad car, which had been reinforced and run on a curve of the railroad track on the right bank of the AppOmattox River. 1t was manned by Company G., First Connec- ticut Heavy Artillery, and was known far and wide as the Petersburg Ex- press"
 At the time that the gun was piac- ed in it's present location. the story of its mission was told as follows:
 'The method of mounting the pnor- tar the extreme weight of which, It. 00o pounds, rendered it unmanageable was conceived by Major-General 6ut- Ter. General Butler originated the idea of serving it upon a railroad car and ordered one made as an experi- ment The first car broke under the shocks. a second, prepared by the en- gineers in charge of the military rali- road answered it's purpose admirably; it consisted of an ordinary truck car, strengthened by additional beams tied strongly by iron rods covered by iron plating Fined with fourteen pounds of powder the motor recoiled upon the ear less than two feet and upon the track some ten Or twelve feet.
 a4The experiment was a decided sue cess. On one occasion three dffferT ent observers reported that sneh burst under the enemy's gun and blew it and its carriage entirely above the parapet On July 30, 1864, the mine on General, Burnside's front was sprung at 4:45 a. m., and a heavy artillery fire commenced and continued until 1e:3o a. m This mortar threw nine teen shells, doing good execution Tn Keeping back the enemy and protect qng our own Hanks from a murder ous fire of the enemy. Under cover of darkness this mortar was with drawn and sent to City Point. drawn by 1ocomtive on the railroad
 First Lieutenant L. w Jackson, one sergeant, two corporals and ten men belonging to Company G., had entire charge of this mortar that fg- ured so conspicuously in the Battle of the Mine before Petersburg"

URGES CONVICT PAROLE SYSTEM.
Believes Would Reclaim Many ConvictS
to Ranks of Good Citizens.

Yazoo City.-Dr, ]. c. Gathings, SUI
perintendent Of the %penitentiary, will
make an effort to establish the grade
and parole system for the conyicts OF
this state. The superintendent has been
giving the matter considerable study
since his appointment, less than a year
ago, and has the system pretty well
worked out in his own mind.
He realizes there is a difference in con-
victs, Just as there are in the various
walks of life, and believes such a system
would do more to reclaim violators OF the
law as good citizens than any other step
that could be taken. He proposes to ask
the legislature to enact the necessary
laws at the forthcoming session next
January, and hopes to have the new sVs-
tenn in operation before June, 1912.
While DR.. Gathing4 did not go into de-
tail in the matter his plan is to have
three grades-Nos. 1, 2 and B, Grade
No. l would be those convicts against
whom nothing has been charged since
going into the penitcntiary, while No. 2
would be the intermediate grade, and
No. 3 what would be known as bad men.

their own rooms. Pathetic tales o.
the murders are legion. Here Is one,
for instance, of a widow who has to
support a swarm Of little children, an
aged mother, and an idiot sister, and
who herself has no training for earn
ing a livelihood. The missionaries
have started industrial work among
the Armenians, and they have also
established an international hospital,
which is to be a permanent memorial
of the Adana massacre.
Surveying the Situation.
1t seems to me as If Remember
Adana" should be written on the mind
of the Young Turk party when it is
tempted to boast; and also before
the eyes Of all the statesmen and pub
llcists who have anything at all to do
with affairs in the Turkish empire.
There are some reasons why this
massacre may not easily be repeated,
but there are greater reasons why a
duplicate Of it may burst upon the
world at almost any time, For the
mind Of Islam has not changed.

President Barrett's Appeal to Farmers
Will Have Effect of Holding Up
Marketing Of Fleecy Staple.

Jackson.-Reports received by the
Farmers Warehouse Company Of this
city, which operates sixty-seven ware
houses over the state of Mississippi and
is the state selling agency of the Farm
ers' Union in the state, indicate that
the deterioration of the cotton crop in
the last thirty days has been most
startling and rapid.
The incessant rains, dense, rank,
weedy growth of the plant, and lack
of dry, sunshiny weather, is causing
the bolls matured and almost ready to
open, to rot and fall from the plant.
Then the plants are shedding at a great
rate. Additionally the weevils are most
active and virulent, more so than they
have ever been noticed in this territory
before, and reports from all sections are
to the effect that the weevils have pune
tured nearly all the available squares.
and are now going after the matured
bolls, a thing about which there has
heretofore been much controversy. 1t is
now an undenlable TACT, and bolls rlddled
with the weevil holes have been brought
into Jackson from several localities oil
Kinds and adjacent counties.
President G. R. Hightower of the
union, and also the Warehouse Company,
stated that he doubted, in view of thu
rapid deterioration of the crop, whether
it would equal that of last year now
At the outset of the season and up tc
the period the rains began the outlook
was most flattering, but since then cot
ION has shown a steady deterioration
which has increased as the season ad
vanced. He stated he had as yet heard
nothing official from National President
Charles H. Barrett of the Farmers
Union regarding a 13-cent minimum hold
ing movement,

Henri Gresslt, the Savage advance
man, who, it is claimed, is the per.
feet ~sartorial gem Of his profession,
sailed yesterday N the Cretic for
Mediterranean points on a five weeks
pleasure trip. At 9 o'clock yesterday
morning Barney Reilly decided to 20
along. They had to hurry, but they
caught the ship. Quite pompously
Henri went abroad. Barney followed
him in anything but a pompous man
ner.
A few moments before the moorings
were cast off Henri, talking to an.
other passenger, said:
my man and 1 had to hurry to
get here in time"
Barney heard him. He knew he
was that man." and he wasn't ex-
actly pleased. Stepping UP to Henri
he asked:
Where did you tell me you're to be
head waiter when you return to New
York;"
Henri turned away, drew a pink silk
handkerchief from his sleeve and
mopped his brow.-New York Tele'

The Christian community, which rep
resents many denominations Of the
older churches, stand solidly together
in a conviction of a possible repeti-
ton Of the massacres At Adana I
had an interview with the leaders Of
the orthodox Greek church, the Greek
Catholic church, the Armenian Cath
ole church, the Gregorian Armenian
church and the old Syriac church, and
they were a unit in declaring that the
attitude Of Islam toward Christians
has not changed, and that the worst
is still possible, although they have
confidence in the good intentions Of
the present Governor. Even the Rev.
w. N. Chambers, the American Board
missionary, who has been the fore
most figure in events subsequent to
the massacres, and is easily the lead
er of the community, is under the
same cloud of depression. Small won
der, when he recalls the murdered
friends who died Is his arms, and the
bodies which he rescued from mutila-
ton.
The argument for the possibility
of another massacre lies in the fact
that there has been no change in the
minds of the people. The Moslems
have not been made over. by the pun
ishment of an inconspicuous few of
their number. They still look upon
the Christians with antipathy. The
village Moslem children cry at their
Christian playmates: Il am going tt
get that dress when we kill you"
A Crop Of Orphans.
! The aftermath Of the massacres is
the multitude of orphans, each with a
story as individual and as tragic as If
his were the only story of sorrow in
the land. l have met many at Tarsus,
where 5000 Armenians refugeed in
the American school, so that only two
hundred we're slain. l saw a little
boy Of 7 or 8, whose father and broth
ers had been killed before his eyes.
l asked how he escaped. With a sig
nihcant gesture he answered: II lay
among the dead; that is, he had
fallen down as if slain and had wait
ed until the murderers left.
The mission schools are over.
whelmed with these orphans. In Adana
they are SO thick in one Of the
schools, which the missionaries hope
may one day be made larger, that
they sleep on the floor sc closely that
the teachers must pick their way
among their bodies in order to reach

Their back than the indubitable fact
that the one line Of division which
marked the massacre was the line
Of religion. 1t was Islam raising the
sword against Christianity. The
Sheriat was the bond that held to-
gether the m~urderers' legions. The
power Of the hodjas and mollahs var
the machinery chiefly used in organ
izing the m~assacres. The one great
weapon left in Abdul Hands hands
was his Office as Caliph, "the Com
mander Of the Faithful" So, to con-
found the plans Of the Young Turks,
and to invoke foreign Intervention, he
gave the command to strike. Only
the power Of the Young Turks pre-
vented similar massacres in many
places, This Is a chapter mostly un-
written. Sometimes it was a force
full governor who prevented the full
fllment Of orders from Constantine
pie. In one case it was a Young Turk
military officer, who, upon receiving
news Of the plan, went into the pres
ence Of the Governor and said: I
want you to understand that If there
is to be a massacre here, 1t will begin
with you"
In Adana, strangely enough, most Of
the Christians still blame the Young
Turks for at least a measure Of re-
sponsibllity. They say that the Young
Turks wanted to give a lesson to the
turbulent Armenians and Macedo-
mans. They point out that the worst
massacre occurred nine days after the
first, the Christians having been dis
armed in the interval. The Salonica
soldiers they charge with participant
ing in the Staying Of the Christians.
There are some things that cannot
easily be explained about the massa-
ere, If the New Regime Is to be &C.
quilted Of all responsibility, yet there
is no doubt, whatever agencies con
tributed, the real power of the mas.
sacre lay in the ineradicable hatred
for Christians on the part of the fol
lowers Of the Prophet.
viii There Be Another2
When l asked the Minister Of the
Interior in Constantinople, Talaat
Bey, If there could be another massa,
ere, he lifted up his hands and cried
God forbid" The Sheikh III Islam
assured me positively, and he was
speaking as the religious head Of
Islam in the Turkish government
that such a thing could not occur
again. The enlightened and strong
handed governor Of this province
Djemal Bey, gave me his word that
there would be no more massacrei
in the region Of which he has since
taken charge. No assurance could b.
more positive than these I have aat
from the highest quarters.
None the less, in the interior of thu
country the people feel otherwise

heard of sufficient complaint on the
new order OF things which recently went
into effect in the discontinuance OF Sun
day carrier delivery. When the sub
ject was first preached there was con-
siderable objection raised, but this was
not serious enough to deter the officials
from taking the new step. 1t was simply
