Documentary Evidence Supplied by
Committee Which Investigated
Massacres of Enforced Exiles.

NEW YORK, October 4.-Documen-
tary evidence of the atrocities inflicted
by the Turks upon the Armenians has
been made public by the committee
formed by Charles r. Crane, Cleveland
H. Dodge and others to investigate the
facts of the Armenian massacres and
which also is taking steps to aid suf-
ferers.
The committee states that the evil
dence was collected from sources that
are unquestioned as to the veracity and
authority of the writers, but that for
obvious reasons their names cannot be
given, and in most cases names of
towns and cities must be concealed.
Quotations are given in the commit
tees report from twenty-four sources,
some of which describe in detail in
stances where Armenians have been
put to death. women mistreated and
children slaughtered; of robbery. tor
ture and death by starvation, and of
terrible privations endured in long
marches to the desert regions to which
the Armenians have been eXiIed-

dam, just completed near Boise by the
United States reclamation service and
dedicated here today IS 34S.5 feet high,
measured from the low points of the
foundation to the top of its surmounting
crest, and is said to be the highest dam
in the world.
To anchor this structure it was neces-
sary to blast through s1.5 feet of volcanic
rock, down to solid granite Approx
mately 100000 yards of concrete. besides
large quantity OF steel and rock. were
used in the dams construction. the cost
being $500, 900 or 100000 under the
years ago.

Back of the dam the channel of the

adjacent to Boise and other towns In
what Is known as the Boise irriga ton
project. The installation Of the system
cost the government $4,000. 900, which is
to be repaid by settlers in twenty years
The water storage this year has saved
the crops on 100000 acres, the value OF
which is estimated to be about equal to
the cost Of the dam.
Device for Lifting Logs.
A feature Of the dam is a device at

in the river below for the convenience Of
saw mills. Loggers estimate that there
are 5000. 900, 600 feet of timber to be lifted

Instances of Brutality.

1.-The orders Of the commanders" says
the writer, may have been reasonably
humane; but the execution Of them has
been for the most part unnecessarily
harsh. and in many instances accompanied
by horrible brutality to women and chill
dren and to the sick and the aged. Whole
villages were deported at an hours notice,
with no opportunity to prepare for the
journey. not even, in some cases, to gather
the scattered members Of the family, SO
many little children were left behind"
Another writer tells of the cruel use of
the bastinado in a certain prison where
Armenians were held.
AT the time Of the Romans" he
writes, forty strokes were administered
at the very most in this place, however.
200, 900, 500 and even 500 strokes were
administered. A young man was beaten
to death within the space of five min
utes."

the bastinado and fire torture in the eff
