EMIGRANTS MASSACRED BY
TURKS

Bucharest, May 2t-Since the entry
Of the Russians into Trebizond- it is
possible to lift the veil which hither-
to has shrouded the fate of the Ar
menian population of that city.
The Russian troops found all the
Armenian houses plundered and most
ly in ruins. They had been pillaged
by the Turks, the authorities inter-
posing no opposition.
The department of Armenians was
carried out in accordance with in
structions from Constantinople. About
300 of the leading families received
the order to prepare for emigration
and purchased wagons to transport
their property, but four days after
their departure, all the wagons were
brought back to the town. The emf
grants had been massacred and their
property plundered.
Other groups, each of several hun
dred families, followed This process
was continued for some time Event
ually, however, new methods were
adopted, The police entered the
houses of the remaining Armenians
and forcibly expelled them. They
were driven through the streets aud
the houses were locked up. The whole
Armenian population of Trebizond,
numbering 10000. was thus enter
tanned
At Erzerum, where the Armenian
population is estimated to have been
$4,000, practically the same program
was carried out.

WORLDLY ADJUSTMENTS"

Saratoga Springs, y. Y, May I'll
The so-called worldly amusements'
and their relation to members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church probably
will oyershadow in importance the
majority Of the proposals to be pre-
scented to the general conference dur
ing the fourth week of the quadren-
NAL session which begins tomorrow.
Two definite propositions will be
submitted, one from the majority of
the committee on the state of the
church which favors the retention of
the present prohibition against card
playing, dancing and going,
and another from the minority of the
same committee which will ask that
the paragraph be eliminated, and that
the position of the church as opposed
to these amusements be made clear by
other means.
The rule of the church now provide
expulsion as a penalty for members
who engage in these diversions.

MEXICAN GIRLS MAKE GOOD SER.
WANTS

In the June Womans Home Com
panion a writer says:
Miss Tarbell's article in the Feb
ruary Companion on The Household
Boycott is especially interesting to
New Mexico readers, because the plan
she suggests, i. e., workers to live at
home and to work certain definite
hours, with extra pay for extra time,
is the custom in this part of the coun-
try. Our maids are almost all the
children of the original Mexican set
tiers of this section. Owing to the
Latin-American standards of chaper-
onage, even the peon families greatly
prefer that the daughters are in their
own homes at night. Fully two-thirds
f the Mexican maids live at home. A
very common arrangement is work
from a. m. TO noon week days, to
IL a. m. Sundays, the usual wage two
dollars and fifty cents; or the maid
may remain till 2 p m. and receive
three dollars a week. with one or two
meals at the home of the employer.
They are poor cooks, but excellent
housewUrkers, clean, neat, quick and
respectful. and more dependable than
the average in other parts of the coun-
try. Indeed, barring only certain sec
tions in the South, there is no part Of
the United States where as good do
nestle workers may be obtained for
the same wages, or where the girls
themselves are equally contented with
their work. attribute this to the
system"

MOOSE
Running in Circles-Old Guard Saws
Wood ~ Hughes Boom Mounts
Oregon Primary n BLOW
To AntIered Herd.

Chicago, Ill.,, May 21-lts Justice
Hughes against the field That is con-
ceded by the advance guard to the Re
publican National Convention. The
Supreme Court Justice either will be
nominated on an early ballot or the
party Is likely to be split wide open,
says the Chicago correspondent Of the
New York Herald.
/ This is based on the assumption that
Hughes will accept. There is no au-
thoritative word yet that he will.
There is no intimation that he will
mot His failure to forbid the use Of
his name, now that the Oregon pri-
maries have unquestionably entered
him in the race, is taken by the poll
ticians as a definite indication that he
is willing to be the nominee Of his
party, providing he is selected as the
party's and not the bosses choice.
The Oregon primary was the blow
that almost killed father" from the
Bull Moose point of view.
MOOsers Running In Circles
The Progressives are running
around in circles. The Republican
Old Guard is saving wood II In trv-
ing desperately to stem the Hughes
tide II thinks perhaps it may do so.
| Il has some fears that II started too
late. 1t is up against" a proposition
such as it never before faced
In addition to the popular sentiment
for Hughes, which has been reported
from many quarters, the Old Guard is
confronted with an almost hysterical
desire on the part of the state organi-
cation to win in November. And those
Organization say, hestitatingly In
some instances, that they feel con-
fdent Hughes could pull them through
They are skeptical about the others.
The Old Guard is glad the Bull
Moose lost in Oregon. 1t is sorry
Hughes could not have lost there, too.
In the opinion of the politicians
here-and it is just 10 days before the
Iconvention-the Oregon primary IL
the most significant and important
feature of the pre-convention cam
lpaign.
Staked Everything on Cummins
The Progressiyes staked everything
on Senator Cummins. They worked
indefatigably to prevent the indorse-
ment of Hughes.
The PrOgressives here hate the Old
Guard, but they do underestimate its
strength. In fact, they believe, as
things now stand. they cannot bring
about the nomination of Roosevelt UNI
less they soften the antagonism OF
Barnes, CRANE, Penrose and a few
lother men whose names are reason
ably well known In political circles.
The Progressives have faint hopes
of convincing those men in the next
two weeks that Roosevelt is the only
man who can carry the country and
insure the election of a Republican
Senate. In this they are not likely to
get very far, for the reason that the
Old Guard, the party deacons, believe
that Roosevelt wuld be buried under
an avalanche of German and old-fash-
toned Republican votes.

an early decline that resulted from
lower quotations at Liverpool and
from favorable weather for the do

responsible for the rallying.
Opening prices. which ranged from
Y to Is lower. with July at 1.02h to
1.o2% and September at 1.o4A to 1.O4es.
were followed by an upturn to well
above yesterdays finish.
Corn Sways With Wheat.
Corn swayed with wheat. The
weather was against the bulls, but
selling was only of a scattered sort.
After opening Y to Y lower, the mar
ket recovered the losses and scored
some gains.

shown.
Provisions rose with hogs. The re-
ceipts at the yards here were less

market opened steady today at de.

the same brokers who were the heavy
early sellers yesterday. The latest
idea appeared to be that this selling
was for continental account, rather
than in liquidation of local or southern
long lines. and there may have been
some scattered liquidation on the ia
vorable view of weather conditions and
the talk of diminishing activity In the
