WILL ENFORCE DRY LAW

New York. Oct. 29.-Two men were
shot tonight in the first raid in this
city made by Federal revenue agents
acting under provisions of the
yolstead act. The officials entered a
crowded saloon in Forty-Second
street and in the ensuing scuffle the
shooting occurred
This raid was followed by others,
all of which were confined to the
white Light" district They were
directed by Col. G. l.. Peter, super
yising internal revenue agent for the
New York district, from his head
quarters in the customs house.
The shooting in the Forty-Second
street saloon is said to have occurred
when a revenue agent started to
make an arrest Both men injured
received flesh wounds and were held
as material witnesses. They gave
their names as Thomas Toomey of
Newport, N H., and Edward Delea Of
New York.
Six men were arrested, including
the owner, the bartender and the
two wounded men. The owner, John
y Brien ana the bartender, Mlcnael
Cotter, were held as Federal prison
ers on charges Of yiloation of the
wartime prohibition act. A sub
poena was served later on another
man whom the agents allege was in
the saloon. He was ordered to ap.
pear before the United States attor-
ney tomorrow.
When three men entered the saloon
and announced that they were rev
enue agents, free-for-all fight
started. No one seemed to know Iex-
actly why.
One of the agents drew revolver
and fired five shots At the first a
scramble for safety began. Patrons
rushed for the doo.s others leaped
over the bar some hid under
tables The agents then gathered in
those arrested and took them TO a
police station.
Many saloons throughout the city
were dark tonight and others fol
lowed suit when they heard of the

EXPERIENCE IN TURKEY
Story of Hardships Told BY Rev.
Henry w. Wineate


Rev. Henry w Wingate, whose wife
is cousin of Mrs. w. H. Bradford
was in Turkey and recently the Port
land, Oregon, Press and Times hac
the following interesting account o
Mr. Wingate's experiences:
Six weeks of actual hunger during
which they tasted meat not more than
once a week at the most, and were un
able to buy, beg or borrow such a
| thing as coffee, were experienced by
! Rev. Henry w. Wingate and his wife
missionaries recently returned from
Turkey. These were perhaps the only
genuine hardships the Wingates en-
countered, for Mr.. Wingate in an H.
Eliminating interview with The Press
! fails to reckon as hardships such mere
trifles as journeying to Constantinople
| from Cesarea under guard, travelling
via freight car, and being subjected to
constant searches to discover whether
they had by chance concealed any
documents which might be considered
detrimental to the Turks
The average person might disagree
with Mr.. Wingate and might consider
that the three years the Wingates
spent in war-ridden Turkey could very
well be accounted three solid years of
hardship.
In discounting his own ills however,
Mr. Wingate is moved to compare his
experiences with the experiences of
thousands and hundreds of thousands
of Armenians whose horrible fate the
world so we'll knows, and he right
ly says: "After all, what does a little
cold and hunger matter? In the main
we were very comfortable
Naturally a man who has been near
ly 29 years in Turkey, and who was
there for three solid years of the re-
cent war, is excellently equipped to
tell the actual state of affairs in the
Morammedan empire, and what Mr..
Wingate says by no means disposes the
person who is talking with him to
feel very kindly towards the Yong
Turks.
On one point Mr.. Wingate differs
with many of the speakers who have
dilated on the woes of the Armenians
The majority of these speakers have
been prone to refer to the Armedians
as a submissive race. Mr. Wingate
says that this is not entirely true, and
says it by way of championing them.
for he apparently does not hold it an
evidence of virile manhood to accept
without repining such i'll treatment as
the Turks thrust upon the Armenians
even prior to the war.
"As a matter of fact" Mr.. Wingate
said, there has been a great deal of
unrest in the Armenian sections OF
Turkey even prior to the outbreak of
the war because the young Turks
who when they came into power had
made certain promises to the Armen-
ians which amounted practically to
putting them on plane of equality
with the Turks, failed to keep the
faith The Armenians had greeted
the advent of the young Turks with
enthusiasm because they felt that it
meant a tightening of their burdens,
but when they discovered that the
same old expressions were to go on
they formed revolutionary parties in
certain sections.

less systematic deportation of the
Armenians which was a feature of the
