The accident happened on the road
between Manchester and Manchest-

Office of Dr.. ]. l.. Lovejoy. 1t IS
probable that the boys skull Is frac-

other injuries.
1t seems that as the auto ap-
preached the boy he was riding in a
zigzag manner along the road with
his hands away from the handlehar
and just as the automobile was op-
posite he lost control of the bicycle
and lunged' into the side of the auto

Los Angeles Man Describes
Atrocities In Asia Minor
AMERICANS AMONG SLAIN
Put Out of the Way, Declares
Knapp, Because They
Knew Too Much

London, July S.-Americans are be
ing secretly murdered by the Turks
In Asia Minor, and reports then cir
culated that they died Of typhus and
other diseases. according to J. Her
bert Knapp. civil engineer OF Los
Angeles, who arrived In London yes
terday from Constantinople after
three years in the Turkish interior
Knapp went to Turkey principally to
investigate the death at Diabekir ol
his brother George Z. Knapp, who
the Turks reported had died suddenly
OF typhus. He declares that his own
Investigation, supported by affIday4
its on file with the American consul
at Bagdad. convinces him that his
brother was executed by shooting.
THE Turks hated my brother, .
said Knapp. because he knew too
much about the massacre OF Christi
ans which was then In progress. II
was generally reported that he had
died from poisoning after drinking a
cup OF Turkish coffee handed to him
by prominent Turkish Official but
am confident from testimony given
by those who lived near the scene OF
his death, that he was deliberately
murdered.
II believe also that Miss Annie
Allen OF Auburndale, Mass, Miss
Charlotte Ely, OF Elmira. N. Y, and
other Americans who died in Turkey
recently, met their deaths at the
hands Of the Turks, although in each
case it was made to appear that
death was due to natural. causes"
Knapp recounted the story OF Miss
Allen who. he said. was sent tC
Kharput by the Near East relief &c
investigate the causes for the ex
pulsion of Maj. Yowell, DR.. Mark
Ward and others, and who was offer
described as the unofficial American
ambassador to Angora."
Miss Allen had learned enough In
Kharput. continued Knapp, to sat
isfy her that the Greek deportees
were being systematically starved tC
death and exposed to all kinds Of
mistreatment to accomplish this end
THE Turks laid their plans care
fully" continued Knapp. Ever,
conceivable obstacle was placed II
her way so that she couldn't reaci
Angora to tell her tale OF Turkish
! eXcesses.
After days and days of travel OF
horseback and suffering the mos
intense exposure, she perished from
exhaustion and typhus soon after ar
| irving at Siyas,
Il am fairly representative
American professional man. am coo
and dispassionate in my Judgment
but I've come to know the Turk in
diyldually and as a governing OF

Jazz Tunes are Barred.

Hominy, Okla, July S-lndians OF
the tribes making Oklahoma reserva-
tlons their homes are gathering here
for the intertribal dances, the guests
of the Osages. Daily dances are. held
during the meeting and the tribesmen
exchange gifts in much the manner Of
friendly tribes of 150 years ago, but in
setting OF munificence created by
the wealthy hosts.
The Osages, artistcrats of al abor-
igines, drive up In expensive automo-
biles, many piloted by chauffeurs.
Members of this tribe receive quart
eIly payments for the government Of
around $1,000 each, accruing to them
from oil and gas development in Os-
age lands. The Poncus. Otes and Paw
ness, who are just coming into their
share OF oil wealth, still arrive on
horseback, in surreys and few in
small motor cars.
The daily dances are kept sacred
from modern influences, and while
the tribesmen wear silk shirts and top
hats, no Jazz tunes are permitted in
this festival.
