FOREIGN MINERS
PURCHASING ARMS
One Man, Shot Two Days Ago,
Succumbs.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 10.-The
feeling of bitterness engendered
among the foreign speaking miners
Of Minersville, when three OF their
countrymen were shot by the state
police during riot, was further in
tensified late yesterday when Mich
ael, one of the trio, died.
That trouble is brewing is appar-
ent from the number of firearms be-
ing purchased by naturalized for
eigners. Several dealers in Miners
vile have practically sold out and
there is also a big demand for fire.
arms in Pottsville.
Captain Wilhelm OF the state po-
lice says there is no way to stop the
sale unless martial law is declared
and the situation does not warrant
such step at present.
Officers Of the state police fear an
attempt may be made to lead their
men into an ambushade along some
of the mountain roads. They believe
the naturalized foreigners are dis
tributing firearms to their country

MASSIE &C.
CUSED ALLEN
Dying Words Hold Sid Allen
Responsible for
Death.
BANDITS HAVE A FRIEND
Hope That Court Be Shot Up Brings
One Before Judge
Staples.


Wytheville, Va, May 0.-"Tm dy-
ing; I'm dying. Sid Allen did it,"
Judge Massie's first words as he
fell mortally wounded during the
pistol battle that killed four others
in the Hillsville court house on
March IA were repeated yesterday at
the trial of Floyd Allen, one of the
men charged with the five murders.
Daniel Thomas, countryman,
who was first to reach the dying
Judge, detailed the scene and fight.
Sid Allen has not been captured.
One other incident, though it oc-
Cured outside the court room,
touched the days proceedings with
the dramatic. Campbell Crowder, a
friend of the Aliens, was talking
with some witnesses on the court
house green when he exclaimed:
II hope the Aliens will shoot up
this court worse than the one at
Hillsville."
Crowder was Immediately taken
before Judge Staples, who told him
that any more such talk would mean
a term in Jail. The man had been
drinking, but the incident served as
a reminder that the Allen gang is
not without friends.
The defense continued yesterday
its plan of building up evidence to
disprove the prosecutions charge
that the Aliens Matched a conspiracy
to shoot up the Hillsville court and
came prepared to do the work 1t
has been alleged that they even
wore metal breastplates to protect
them against the fire of the defend
ants.
Jack Allen, kinsman of all the
gang, denied on the stand yesterday
that he had taken a steel breast
plate from his brother Floyd before
detectives had arrested him.
Other testimony intended to fav-
or Allen seemed to be shaken on
dissemination. Witnesses were
sworn to testify that the first shoot
ing came from the court officers.
One of these, however, admitted that
the first two shots came from where
he had seen Sidna and Claude AL
len standing. Five men of Carroll
county swore that prior to the
shooting they had heard no Ill of
any of the Aliens. Floyd Allen was
on trial for a felony when the shoot
ing took place.

Constantinople, Turkey, May 10.
The movement for the emancipa-
tion of Turkish women which under
the regime of the Young Turks
gained considerable momentum has
now received a serious setback.
Encouraged by the Young Turks,
women permitted themselves great
er liberty of movement and in a
short time after the inauguration OF
the new regime it was no uncom-
mon thing to see husbands and
wives riding in the same carriage.
A woman's club with member
ship from the best Moslem families
was formed and courses of lectures
and literary evenings We're given
under its auspices. Education for
girls received attention and school
for girls under the patronage of the
president of the chamber was found
ed, while funds were provided for
training teachers.
The problem of the veil was in
fluenced by the prevailing liberal
tendencies and in a short time, al
though no one ventured to discard it
entirely, it was so attentuated in
many cases as to be little better
than an apology for veil. Many
women while in the European quar-
ter of the city wore the veil flung
back over their heads.
These reforms were not received
with good grace by the more con-
sentative Turks, who not only re-
gard their women as without souls,
but object to any exhibition what
ever of their bodies.
This profund distrust soon react
ed on the government and the
Young Turks attitude toward their
women folks aspirations was
strengthening the opposition and
especially lending point to the ar
gument that they were not true be-
levers.
Nothing did more to add to the
prestige Of the conservative Turks
than the charge that the Young
Turks were no longer good Moslems.
To vindicate their conformity
with the teachings of the prophet it
was necessary for the reformers to
become reactionaries so far as the
women were concerned, so orders
were issued that no Turkish woman
was to appear in public wearing a
thin veil; she must not loiter in
front of European shops; and she
must not enter such places except
under special circumstances.
The women were warned, in
short, to make themselves as incon-
spicuous as possible in public on
pain of arrest and punishment. Un-
der this new rule several Moslem
women of evil reputation have been
arrested and exiled.
