LATE ESTIMATES OF DEAD
Missionary at Adana Tells of All La
borers on One Farm Slain and
Bodies Piled Like Cord
wood for Burial.
COX5TAXTIXOPLE, April 30. Rev. TV
W. Pect, the representative here of the
American Board t of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions, who is managing the
work of relieving' the sufferers from the
massacres In Asiatic Turkey, has shipped
12 tons of flour and 150.000 pounds of rice
to Adana. Mr. Peet has received $1000
from the American Red Cross, $1100 from
the American Board of Missions and $2750
from the Society of Friends of Armenia,
and says he needs from (15,000 to $20,000
-more for his immediate requirements.
First Estimate Too Low.
A letter from Tarsus written by Dr.
Christie of Hartford. Conn., dated April
20, says: .
"1 estimated that there were 1000 dead
in Adana and Tarsus and 300 in neighbor
ing towns, but I begin to think this
estimate is too low for the country dis
tricts. Our banker. Shaker Boutros, for
example, lias farms tsoutheast of Tarsus
and had 81 men at work upon them, one
Creek and SO Armenians. The Greek
came in with the story that every one of
the eighty Armenians had been killed.
From Kosolock came a similar tale.
Dead Piled In Heaps.
"I never would have believed men ca
pable of such cruelties, the sight of which
I saw Saturday morning. As the train on
which 1 was riding moved through the
vineyards and the gardens this side of
Adana they reminded me of Shiloh, of
Corinth, of Vicksburg, of Atlanta. The
bodies were lying where they had fallen.
There was a heap of 10 or 20 piled up
like cord wood t suppose in. preparation
for burial. In Adana cartloads were
being dumped Into the river. In the long
street leading up from the station I
counted 30 in the quarter of a mile I
traversed over the city that had not been
removed.
"There were two whole days of bitter
street fighting, of massacres of the de
fenseless and of burnings. Our great,
strong city of Adana is now a thing of
the past."

MISSIONARIES REPORTED SAFE
Boston Hears Directly From Ameri-

BOSTON. April 30. A cablegram an
nouncing tlr, order has been restored

ORDER RESTORED AT MARASH
Missionaries at Ease After Recent
Slaughter ot Armenians.
MARASH, Asiatic Turkey, April 30.
The situation here has unproved and
the missionaries and the city are at ease.
During the early days of the outbreak
.Sf2 Armenian pastors were killed by the

ADD I'll ORDERED SLAUGHTER

tain that they could not have started

the penitentiary in connection with
the failure of the Bank of America
on, a conspiracy charge, wept as ne

further disgrace.
I am now a man of 65 years, said
he, "and this trouble has resulted in
taking from me all that I had as a
result of a life's work. My children
are all dead. If you grant me a par
don, the only thing I have left is to
resume the practice of law. ,
"I had no intention of wrongdoing:.
I was convicted in consequence of the
Inflamed public feeling existing at the
time of my trial. This was made In
tense by the failure of the Chicago
National Bank, of which John R. Walsh
S'as president. The conviction of Paul
. Stensland added to the feeling."
Smith, during his recital, read a let
ter from Mayor Busse, of Chicago, in

of Bleached Flour. -
WASHINGTON, April 30. Justice
Stafford, of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, today declined to
compel Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
to vacate his decision to Institute next
June prosecutions against manufacturers
and dealers in flour made according to
the bleached process.
The question whether Buch bleaching
violates the pure food law was not before
the court. The question decided was only
whether the Alsop Process Company, of
St. Louis, is entitled to mandamus to
compel the Secretary to change his opin
ion that the juice of nitrogen peroxide in
the bleaching of flour renders the product
unwholesome, deleterious to the con
sumer and a violation of the pure food
law.

MURDERER PAYS PENALTY
Antonio CIpollo Goes to Scaffold
Without Aid of Priest.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., April 30. An
tonio CIpollo was handed at Folsom
prison today for the murder on March
4 tf last year of Joseph Pirtano. He
was perfectly cool and refused to make
any statement. To those who were in
the room to witness the execution he
simply said as he mounted the scaffold:
"That's all right, boys."
He declined to see a priest, and de
clared he would go to his death with
out the sacraments of the church.
The murder for which Cipollo was
hanged was most brutal. He and" a
companion enticed Pirlano up the Sac
ramento River, stabbed him and threw
him into the water after robbing him.
Piriano's abdomen was literally ripped
to pieces.
