Stallings reconstruct a hopeless tail
ender back in 1909. He was superseded
by Lou Criger an active catcher, in
1910. Later Farrell assumed his old
duties when Hal Chase was appointed TO
the management. He was coach and
scout for McAleer's worlds champions

day the appointment of Mark Roth. the
well known baseball writer. to the office

Turkey Denies Violence
Has Been Suffered By
Christians at Urumiah

The grand vizier of Turkey, in con-
versation with Ambassador Morgen-
theu. has denied reports of violence at
Urumiah to American missionaries and
to Christian refugees. He declares there
is no foundation for the reports. De-
malls were made also by the Turkish
war office.
This information was cabled today to
the States Department by Ambassador
Morgenthau.
1t is stated that at the request of
Ambassador Morgenthau instructions
will be sent to Urumiah that violence
is to be prevented. The Turkish regular
troops were due to arrive at Urumiah
last Saturday.
Another cable from Ambassador Nor
genthau says the Turkish government
has decided to postpone enforcement of
the new regulations as to educational
institutions of foreign powers until
September. The purpose then is to put
them under the Jurisdiction of the
Turkish government. The ambassador
is in conference with the heads of the
American colleges, and it Is reported to
the State Department a satisfactory
adjustment is likely.

Schemes to Get Arms
From u. S. Frustrated
Plots Nipped in Bud by Order From Secretary Gar

Rifles Stored Thr roughout Country.

Plots and schemes of foreign gov
ernments and American spectators to
buy the Krag- -Jorgenson rifles in the
arsenals of the United States were
nipped in the bud by an order of Sec
retary OF War Daniels issued some
weeks ago. This order prevents the
sale of any of the unusued rifles in
the arsenals OF the Government while
the European war lasts.
1t has long been known that the
United States had stored at Rock
Island and other arsenals several hun
dred thousand rifles of the Krag -Jor-
genson pattern. These are the rifles
used by the regular army prior to the
adoption of the modern Springfield
magazine rife. Until the war broke
out. the Government sold these rifles
to individuals II convinced they were
wanted for a legitimate purpose.
But when the war broke out. for

TWO WOMEN SUFFER
DOUBLE INSANITY
Chicago AIienists Exhibit Deep
Interest in Rare and Pecu-
liar Case.

CHICAGO. March 29.-Local alienists
and medical circles today exhibited
deep interest in the cases OF Mrs.
Clara L. Kittredge and Miss Mary l..
Stephens, whose wealthy brother was
expected to arrive here today from
Springfield. Mass.
Physicians have diagnosed the cases
as double insanity" one of the rar-
est and most peculiar mental diseases
known to medical science.
Mrs. Kittredge and Miss Stephens
came here six months ago to study
mental healing. Since that time,
friends OF the women say, they have
spent hours daily on their studies.
The mental strain. according to
physicians, proved too much. Satur-
day night the women, scantily clad.
dashed from their apartment. They
were with difficulty persuaded to re-
| turn to their home.
Trained nurses were in charge of
them when they again became sud
denly violent. They were removed to
a city institution for observation.
Police Physician Frank Bastall and
DR.. Leonard s. Wood diagnosed the
| cases as double insanity"

.REVERSES DECISION
ON ANACOST|A ROAD
Court of Appeals Acts on the
Commissioners Petition for
Condemnation of Land.

The action OF the lower court in dis
missing a second petition of the Dis
trict Commissioners for the condemna-
ton OF a strip of land for the opening
or road along the .Anacostia river
from the southwest corner OF the
grounds of the Government Hospital for
the Insane to Giesboro Point. near the
western terminus of Memphis street,
was reversed by the Court OF Appeals
today and the cause remanded for fur
ther proceedings not inconsistent with
the opinion.
Proceedings were instituted under an
act OF May 1O 1910, but the petition
sought the condemnation OF land 100
feet beyond Giesboro Point. A verdict
awarding damages amounting to &1,-
367.19 and assessing benefits in the sum
of $5,0i5.62 was returned by the com
mission on June 10, 1912. Because
s26,5O8.22 in damages was awarded for
the 1000 feet beyond Giesboro Point
and the Commissioners doubted their
right In the proceedings. the first peti-
ton was dismissed before Judgment
was entered, and a second petition was
filed
The Washington steel and Ordnance
Company, Floyd E. Davis, Isadore T.
Young, Richard T. Wilson. the United
States Realty Company, and Emily s.
Watts objected to the filing of the sec
ond petition, and the abandonment of

order preventing sales Of arms or am
munition.
1t is declared innumerable syndicates
have been formed for the purpose of
speculatlng in arms. General Crozier, in
n statement, said the department had
been approached by "innumerable spe-
culators who were anxious to turn the
Kras rifles over to the warning nations
and that the pressure was so great Sec
retary Garrison issued an order against
selling arms or ammunition.
According to one story, n beautiful
New York woman was Interested In a
plan to seli guns to Russia, and there
were many others.
Deals of seven figures We're contem-
plated and representatives of one con-
Germ sent a certified check for 81 .UcC
here and laid II before a high official
to be applied on arms and ammunition
but this Government would not permit
itself thus to be involved in so bald q
violation Of the spirit Of neutrality.
Back Of the Governments action in re-
fusing to sell the Krag rifles in large
numbers is another reason. IT is this
that the rifles are good weapons Of the
modern magazine type, and in case OF
war they night be invaluable.
