TURKEY WARNED
TO CEASE ARME:
MAN MURDERS
Friendly Relations Between People
of Two Countries is Declared
Threatened.
MUST STOP THE MAssACRES
Officials Say Message Does Not Con-
tain Possibility of an Immed-
late Break.
MUST STOP THE MASSACRES

Washington, D. c., Oct. 5.-Am-
bassador Morgenthau at Constanti-
nople was instructed by cable last
night to inform the Turkish minis
ter of foreign affairs that public SEN
timent in the United States was so
stirred by reports of the Armenian
atrocities that unless the massacres
by Turks ceased friendly relations
between the American people and
the people of Turkey would be
threatened.
Officials made it clear that this
message, though it's Importance was
by no means minimized, did not
threaten an immediate break in d.
plomatic relations. Turkey already
has let it be known that she will not
permit interference by any foreign
power with her so-called Armenian
policy" AS American life or prop
erty has not been affected the Unit
ed States government, without sub
hitting an official protest, merely
informs Turkey of the effect contin-
ued Armenian atrocities would
have upon the American people.
Secretary Lansing said yesterday
that no representations had been
made to Germany regarding the
treatment of the Armenians by the
Turks. 1t was learned, however,
that Ambassador Morgenthau had
reported that the German embassy
at Constantinople had filed protest
on this subject with the Turkish for
eign Office. An announcement some
time ago stated that the state de-
partment had asked Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
here, to bring the matter to the at
tention of his foreign office. +

ager of the wet organization, claim
ed his side had been victorious by
from 5000 to 10000 majority. The
Rev. George B. Stafford, at the head
of the dry forces, said:
There has been the most shame
less violation of law by the vets
wagon load after wagon load of lille
gal voters having been taken to the
polls. If not more than 5000 of
those fellows had been run in on us,
we would have won."
During the day charges of fraud
were freely made by both sides and
much bitterness was shown at the
polling places. Three men were ar
rested charged with violating the
corrupt practices act. It was said
by the police these men were en-
ployes of a brewing company and
that they were distributing "wet"
handbills.
Most Of the population of Henne-
pin county is within the city bound
airy, but as there are saloons in all
the villages the drys waged their
fight vigorously everywhere.
Minneapolis, with a population of
more than $4,000 is said to be the
the largest city in the country to
test the prohibition issue by ballot.

Completes First Year.

The Sewer Pipe plant and COM
pany located at Great Falls, Mont,
with which organization Warren Ov-
erpack of this city was actively con-
nected, has just completed it's first
year. The plant is rapidly nearing
completion and is valued at $780,
900. 1t is in nearly all respects
similar to the National Sewer Pipe
plant of this city with a capacity for
turning out sewer pipe which will
about. equal the one located here.
Friends of the company say, howev-
ever, that within two years the
plants capacity will be doubled. At
present the company is engaged in
the manufacture of building blocks,
fire bricks, face bricks and fire
proofing blocks. AS yet no sewer
pipe has been turned out. The clay
of the region is adapted to the max
ing of pottery and the company have
secured a line of molds for the maxi
ing of toys and many really beauti-
full articles of pottery. The results
from this venture will be on the
market for the Christmas trade and
will no doubt fill the demand for
such articles, many of which former
~ were imported from different
European countries.

he company, is at this time on
