May Go to Scene.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 23. The No
voe Vremya today published a dispatch
from a correspondent who has Just com
pleted a perilous trip from Tabriz, Per
sia, to Urumiah, through a country
ewarming with pillaging Kurds. He de
clares that Urumiah Is now completely
surrounded by Kurds, who are ravaging
the villages on all sides up to the gates
of the town. The sound of firing Is con
stantly heard. The missionaries at Uru
miah have held a meeting and sent out to
their respective countries a statement of
the critical position in which they find
themselves.
Turkish regular troops are close behind
the raiding Kurds. Two battalions of ; in
fantry, two squadrons of cavalry and a
battery of artiliery have occupied vil
lages three miles from Urumiah, and Bix
flays ago one battalion of Infantry and
five batteries of the Si-th division of cav
alry went into camp in the region around
Bujbulant to settle the dispute between
Turkey and Persia.
It 1b declared at the Foreign Office here
that Russia has made continual represen
tations to the Porte about the situation,
but without result up to the present time.
Russia has not yet decided upon any
more aggressive steps.

WASHINGTON, June 23. William F.

the missionaries at Urumiah are anxious
to have him come to tne latter place. Mr.

the officials of the American Legation at
Constantinople regarding the matter and.
If he can be of any particular service to
the missionaries, there will be no objec
tion to his going.
The Porte has again repeated assur
ances to the American Government of Its
Intention to protect our missionaries so
far as lies In its power. The Kurds, no
mads as they are, have long been a seri
ous proposition for the Turkish govern
ment to deal with, and their pillaging on
frequent occasions has threatened to lead
to serious internal troubles.

CANCELS STAKE EVENTS
Friends of Measure Use Strenuous
Tactics to Scrape Together Ma
jority of Two Votes-Absen-tees
Brought to Time.
BATON ROUGE, La., June 23.-After
a campaign lasting several months, the
close of which was mar.:ed by a bitter
fight, the so-called Locke anti-racetrack
gambling bill was this afternoon
passed by the Louisiana State Senate.
The bill passed the House several
weeks ago, and now only requires the
signature of the Governor to become
law. There seems no doubt Governor
Banders will sign the bilL
The vote was 21 to 19. It required
the entire 21 votes to get the bill
through the Senate and the last 24
hours before its passage were marked
by a desperate and finally successful
effort to muster the necessary
strengtn. One Senator was found to
be suffering from some form of poi
soning and another who had commit
ted himself In favor of the bill did not
show up. Several physician b were put
to work on the ailing member and two
New Orleans reporters were sent scur
rying In a high-power automobile
through the Louisiana marshes on a
90-mile trip after the absent one.
Both of these Senators were finally
gotten on the floor and added to the
19 already present, made the 21 votes
necessary to carry the bill. A minute
or so- previous to the final passage of
the bill a lively and somewhat bitter
Brighton Beach Racing Association
Hit by New Law.
NEW TORK, June 23. The Brighton
Beach Racing' Association, it is stated
tonight, has decided to cancel all of its
stake events for this year. The purses
for these events amount to nearly
$200,000. This action was made neces
sary, it Is said, by the great decline in
the daily attendance at the racetracks
since the anti-betting laws went into ef
fect. The mid-Summer meeting of 22 days
will be held at Brighton Beach as
planned, with over-night sweepstakes to
take the place of the stakes.
