that the five leading powers have
agreed that representation by any Rus

yesterdays game with Detroit. Babe"

his turn at practice this morning. Ruth
said he felt confident of exceeding
"Socks" Seybold's American league rec
ord, and added that "Buck" Freeman's
world record for the major leagues of 25
homers would be the particular aim Of
his batting ambition for the rest Of the
season.
Ruth's long distance hitting has scored
him home runs on every grounds in the
American league this season His total
for the year is considerably greater than
10, the spring training season having
been marked by one series of six CON
secutive home runs off his bat. Amer
lean league pitchers appear unable to
stop him, the big pitcher and outfelder
having made scoring drives off balls knee
high and over his head alike

"PARBOILED" GREEKS
AND TURNED THEM OUT
HALF CLAD INTO COLD
That Is Charge Against Turkish Officials
Who Are Accused of Decimating
Greek Population Along the
Black Sea Coast.

New York, July 30.-Charges that
Turkish officials decimated the Greek
population along the Black sea coast,
100000 men, women and children living
between Sinone and 0rdou, without the
shedding Of blood but by 'parboiling"
the victims in Turkish baths and turning
them half clad out to die of pneumonia
or other ills in the snow of an Anato-
liam winter, are made in letter from
DIR. George Il. White, representative of
the American committee for relief in the
near East, made public here to-day.
Sinope was the birthplace of the phi
losopher Diogenes, Dr. White recalls, and
0rdou is just beyond Cape Jason, which
is still preserved in memory of the Ar
gonauts and the Golden Fleece. The let
ter, written to Prof. j. p. Xendes, Sec
rotary of the Greek relief committee
here, described the new method of rid
ding the land of its inhabitants which,
it said, was somewhat different from
that employed by the Turks against the
Armenians.
The worst of the crimes laid to the
Turks, according to DR.. White, were com
mitted in the winters of 1916 and 1917,
when orders were issued for the deporta-
tion of the Greeks along the Black sea
coast. The people, he wrote, were crowd
ed into the steam rooms of the baths in
Chorum under the pretense of sanitary
regulations" and after being tortured for
hours were turned out of doors into snow
almost nee-deep, and without lodging or
food. Their garments, which had been
taken from them for fumigation, were
lost, ruined or stolen. Most of the VIC
tins, ill-clad and shivering, contracted
tuberculosis and other pulmonary dis
eases and died in swarms" on the way
to exile, the letter declared
DIR. White said that in the province of
Bafra, where there were more than 90
900 village Greeks, now less than 1900
survive and every Greek settlement has
been burned. The number OF orphans,
including some Armenian and Turkish
children, in the entire district, it was
said, aggregated $4,000. Since the armi-
stice, the doctor wrote, many Of the de-
portees have been returning to their
ruined homes.

LEE FooN's ALIBI

From the Portland Oregonian.
 Whatever else the prying police and prosecutors may say aGout him, they
 are compelled to admit that Lee Foor
 is an ingenious cuss. They must also
 admit that the willy oriental pulled one
 from the clouds in police court, and
 got away with it in big league style Lee a studious looking disciple of Confucius, stood with solemn mien as
 he answered the police court roll on a charge of having lottery tickets in his possession.
 Police testified that they had raided Foon's quarters in the Chinese section
 and procured an ample supply of lottery tickets, which they had found in his
 room. Other paraphernalia used for lot teries also was procured The evidence seemed conclusive. Court attaches nat
 urally figured Lee Foon didn't have a chance.
 And then Lee Foon offered his testi-
 mony These not lottery tickets" was
 his first astonishing statement Judge Rossman grew interested. He
 moved down from the bench and stood
 at Foon's side in the prisoners dock.
 What are they, then? inquired the
 court.
 They pages torn from Chinese school book" quickly answered the bland and
 unsmiling Foon.
 Well, what does this say? inquired
 the court, as he selected an alleged lot tery ticket at random and handed it to Foon for translation. Tt say, see the cat" was the quick retort. which was slmost drowned in the storm of laughter that swept over the courtroom.
 Well" muttered the court, as he shook his head in a perplexed manner "Pll admit that lottery tickets should in time educate people that it's a losing gambling game, but this is the first from Chinese schoolbook" And so dumbfounded was the court ! at Lee Foon's alibi that he permitted
 the prisoner to go his way minus the
 usual fine.
 | If he, comes before me again on the
 same charge he'll probably plead that | he's professor of economies III une col l lege' of come-ons." said the court as Lee Foon patted his happy way back to 1 China town.

x H Judge Sharpe's Death Shock to Alabama

ID IRMINGHAM had no more es- G0 teemed or lovable citizen than Judge H. A. Sharpe, senior circuit judge of Jefferson county, and from 1898 to 1904 associate justice of the supreme court of Alabama, who passed away yesterday after brief illness.
 As counsellor at law the deceased stood among the foremost, and on the bench he was very model of poise and judicial temperament. In dis pensing justice he was clear-visioned and unflinching without the least de- gree of harshPess.
 Quiet and courteous in manner ,his fine social qualities were widely. re- marked, and his keen wit and gentle humor made him a charming com panion. His personal friends were bound to him by hoops of steel and it is not too much to say that he was without an enemy in all this county
 A iurist of singular acumen what
