trict court by the State of Kansas

ton 1t is also charged that H. M.
Waring, representing the Insurance
Union, sent a telegEam.to S. o. Martin,
national vice president, asking him to
come to Topeka for a conference.
Hopkins charges that Martin ac-
cepted an offer of 5000 to go out and
work for the merger. and influence the
members of the order to support same.
He also alleges that Walen F.. Shaw,
national secretary of the Sons, and
Daughters of Justice, accepted an Of
fer OF $1,000 and a position as state
manager at $500 per month If he
would work for the merger among the
members of the order.
In making these offers Hopkins
charges the Insurance union exceeded
its power and should be prohibited
from doing business in Kansas and
that a receiver be appointed to take
charge of it's affairs.
Judge James A. Mcclure today Is
sued a temporary restraining order

Armenians in Bloody Conflict
With Turks and Tartars.
Christians and Moslems Break
Out in New Hate Wave.
SOVIET ABARDOHS DRIVE
Reds Find Followers of Moham-
med Against Communism.
Refugees and Starving Tartars
Are Pillaging One Another.
tBz the Associated Press,


Ertvan, Armenia, Oct. 9.-Armenia
has plunged into new warfare against
bands of Turks and Tartars. Her
army, commanded by General Seboo
is estimated at $4,000 men, who for
the most part have been Bconscripted
since, last spring. Ali are able bodied,
their ages running from IT to As years.
The reason for the fighting is the
fact that the interests of the Armenians
and the Moslems here, cannot be re-
conciled. A Bolsheviki mission has
been here since the conference at
Baku of representative nations in
Caucasia> and trans-Caucasia but the
Armenians are afraid to go Bolsheviki,
fearing they may be subjected to the
same disorders that occurred at Baku
recently.
Soviet Quits Plan.
The only concrete. result of the con-
ference has been q decision by soviet
agents to discontinue present attempts
to forcibly communize Isiamic coun-
tries and they are combining them
selves to. propaganda, which is .prin-
cipally anti Britain.
Tartars and Persians have been at
lacking Armenia for the purpose of
esta blishing a corridor from Baku to
Angora, in Asia Minor. Armenia is in
the same miserable condition Of her
neighbors.- Her population is living
from hand. to mouth and has devel-
oped a sort of Gypsy psychology.
Thousands of refugees are always
on the march, and prey upon starv-
ing bands of Tartars who also prey
upon each other. Twenty-nine Ameri-
cans are engaged in the work of feed
ing rs, 900 orphans in Armenia, having
their center of supplies at Alexan-
