EYE WITNESS Tells
OF GREEK DEP0RTA-
TONS BY TURKS
Thousands Drop BY Wayside
Swords Beat Children.
BY r. A. WRAY,
N. S. staff Corresponde nt.)

London, Aug. ia ghostly
march - corpses" was the way a
returned traveller today described
the deportations of Greek Christ
Jams from Anatolia by the Turks.
The traveller is Ethel Thompson, Of
Boston, who has just returned from
the Near East where she was an
eye witness to the sufferings that
the Christians were compelled to
undergo.
"The whole thing was too CHASTITY
for adequate description. said Miss
Thompson. "The Greek men, wo-
men and children were herdcd to-
gether at the point of Turkish
swords and bayonets. Thousands
persisted by the wayside. ] saw
women who looked unhuman. | saw
800 children surrounded by Turkish
gendarmes who beat them with
their swords.
There were girls in the ranks
with faces disfgured and distorted
cut of all human shape. They had
mutilated themselves to spoil their
natural beauty and thus escape the
slave life of Turkish harem.
Dead bodies lined the road and
overhead flew an army Of vultures,
ready to feast upon the orgy of
death below"

WlIBURN GUILTY OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER
COST OF RAIL STRIKE.

10y international News Service
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE
cost of the railroad strike is
incaIulabIe, but staggering.
This was the opinion today of
government officials who sought
some comprehensive idea of how
much the strike is costing the
country.
The striking railway shopmen
have lost forty working days
since laying down their tools
on July I. Approximately AGO.
900 men are out, according to
union officials, and on a basis of
an eight hour day they have
lost 11a,ooo,0oo working hours.
At zoe an hour, this would have
Melted them $e9,6oo,ooo. What
the strike is costing railroads,
through impaired equipment,
loss Of business and strike
guards can only be matter of
conjecture.
What the strike is costing
shippers, particularly shippers
of perishables like fruit and veg
etabIes, also is problematicaI.
All authorities are agreed. how
ever, that 1t Is staggering.

Charles Town, Aug. 17.-John
Wilburn, youthful union mine work
er, of Blair. was found guilty Of
murder in the second degree last
night under the indictment charging
him with the murder of Deputy John
G. Gore, OF Logan county. during the
march of armed miners last Au-
gust. The jury, which had been
hearing the evidence in his case
since last Friday. was out fifty min
utes, returning at $40 with the YER
dict which was in the hands of the
foreman, L. T. Furr.
Wilburn showed no visible feeling
over the verdict. lie sat wits his
brother where he has sat throughout
the trial. The same stolid compos-
ure. sometimes approaching indif-
ference in appearance, was main
tanned while the jury filed in, was
polled and turned over the vcrdc,
to Clerk c. w. Conrad who read it
to the court. The verdict was not
in technically proper form but II
was revised and corrected by coun-
sci and reread to the jury which
again approved 1t. The usual mo-
ton to set aside the verdict and
grant new trial was made by
counsel for the defense before VIII
burn was returned to the Jail. No
argument was made on the motion
last night or this morning.
Father Under Same Verdict.
The Rev. James r. Wilbnrn, faith
cr of the defendant found guilty last
night, and also father of two other
Wilburn boys under Indictment for
the same offense, was found guilty
Of murder in the same degree on
June II and is at present in Jail
here awaiting ruling by the court
on a motion for n new trial.
A crowded court room awaited
the return of the jury last night.
Arguments, which also attracted n
crowd of auditors, occupied the en-.
tire afternoon yesterday, Attorney
A. NJ. Belcher closing for the state
shortly before o'clock. Court was
recessed Immediately thereafter UNI
til 7.30 when the jury took the in
dictment and retired to its room to
consider the case Fifteen minutes
later the jury bell rang and the
crowd became silent in expectation
Of seeing the jury return, but the
jury wanted only the instructions.
At $50 the bell rang again and the
Jury returned.
Sentence under the verdict last
night involves a penitentiary term
ranging from to Is years.
Witnesses Stranded Here.
The biggest problem today before
the court at its morning session in
connection with the trial Of the min
crs seemed to be that Of finding
some means Of returning seven
stranded defense witnesses to their
homes in southern West Virginia.
They were brought at the states eX-
pense for the trial OF John Wilburn.
The statute provides no means Of
returning witnesses so summoned.
The defense announced today thai
it had excused the witnesses and
would not need them for the Wal
ter Allen treason case that opens
on Monday, but it was added that
the Witnesses had no money Of their
own and 50 far no one had come

Meet Committee From Rail
Heads In Supreme Effort

indicated they believed their posi-
ton had become stronger through
the large number of new men that
have been taken on recently. On
the other hand, the strikers have
cOntended that the spread of spo-
radio walkouts from the shopmen to
the ranks of other railway unions
has greatly strengthened their hand.
A number Of rail men who have
quit work in sympathy, claimed that
equipment had become so run down
through lack of shop repairs that
they were afraid to continue at
work.
1t was expected that immediate,
ly after the meeting convened, the
representatives of the big four"
would hand in a set of proposals as
the basis for decisive negotiations
for settlement OF the strike.
After these had been digested
discussion was expected to follow
Whether the committee was prepar-
ed to submit counter proposals wa
not revealed. While the committee
has no power to make final deci
sion, it has wide authority.
1t was this same committee which
was appointed to draft the reply to
the second set of propositions made
by President Harding for settle
ment of the strike.
1t was reported that the bitumin-
Gus coal strike settlement reached
at Cleveland on a compromise basis
was exerting a good effect.

Brooding over conditions which
resulted from the railroad strike,
William Armstrong, aged forty-tiye
years, this morning shortly before
s o'clock committed suicide at his
home on South High street by TAX
ing a dose of carbolic acid. He was
found dead lying on the floor of his
bed room by his wife Mrs Blanche
Armstrong.
During the past few weeks, rela-
tives Of the suicide victim claim,
he has acted unusually queer at
times, and, in addition, recently
suffered a nervous breakdown. His
general health, however, had never
been seriously impaired.
The dead man had been employ
ed for six years by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company as an
oiler a Cumbo, and, when orders
came from heads of the union 10
strike he walked out with the re-
mainder of the workers at the
small railroad center.
According to well-founded re-
ports the deceased had worried con-
of the arrest of a strikebreaker
here few weeks ago. The latter,
when arrested, had a gun in his
automobile, and, since then, it is
understood, various people told
Armstrong that he was the one
who placed the weapon in the car.
This he denied but it worried him
nevertheless. He was further told
that such an act meant a term of
imprisonment and that increased
his worries.
This morning Mrs. Armstrong,
who is employed at the Interwov-
en- Mills, arose at the usual hour
and went to her duties. When She
left the house her husband was
still asleep. About an hour late. i.
/, Miss Nan Armstrong, >SIter Of
1.-THE deceased man, became frighten-
led because of the queer way her
llather had been acting of late,
