TARSUS. Asiatic Turkey, May 3, Mon
day, via Constantinople, May 4. Dur
ing the recent massacres the Armenian
population of Kozolook was put to
death without mercy. Word that the
Mohammedans were killing 'Armenians
reached Kozolook before the actual at
tack on the place, and when the first
considerable party of Mohammedans ar
rived they found the Armenians well
armed and In good defensive positions.
The Mohammedans did not feel
strong enough to attack, so they gath
ered reinforcements until more than
1000 of them, well armed, surrounded
the village. The Armenians were of
fered protoctlon if they would give up
their arms. This the Armenians decid
ed to do after a long parley. Then,
under pretense of taking them to a
place of safety they were led out of the
village under escort to an open field.
Here the men were ruthlessly killed
and the women maltreated. A number
of Armenian girls were forced to marry
Turks.
The local authorities who promised to
give an equivalent of 6 cents a day to
each destitute person, gave only 4 cents
for a few days, and have now reduced
thelr donations to an equivalent of 2
cents.

I0WAN QUICK AT RETORT
Reminds, Senate of Responsibility to
Public Opinion and Shows No
Mercy In Assault on Wool
Duty's Beneficiaries.
WASHINGTON. May 4. At the ses
sion of the Senate today, 'Dolliver of
Iowa attacked the methods under which
protective tariff bills are formed, and
had a lively tlltwith Aldrich. Demo
cratic Senators remained silent. At times
the Republican debate threatened to be
come acrimonious, but the Iowa Senator,
was ever ready with a humorous reply,
which called forth laughter when angry
words seemed unavoidable.
Borah concluded his speech on the in
come tax, delivering an extended legal
argument to show .that there was ample
reason for believing that the Supreme
Court might reverse itself if the consti
tutionality of that tax should again be
presented to it.
A strong plea for the extension of the
protective tariff system to Jute wa.s made
by Bradley of Kentucky, who declared
that with the protective policy covering
products of his state, Kentucky would be
safely Republican in the future.
Responsible to Public Opinion.
"If I speak the truth," said Dolliver,
"If 1 deal with thingB as they are, I sug
gest to the Senator from Rhode Island
that It will not be an adequate answer to
reproach me with the errors of my youth
or to disparage me because in other years
I. followed without questioning the foot
steps of our party leaders."
Referring to a; recent exchange of words
In the Senate between himself and Aid
rich. Dolliver said:
"If the Senator from Rhode Island in
tends to humiliate me because of my
course in these -matters, dictated by po
litical conditions at . home.' he uninten
tionally pays me a compliment which I
sincerely, appreciate, because this Nation
has entered upon a new era of direct re
sponsibility on the part of Presidents and
Congresses alike to that enlightened pub
lic opinion which, ought -to be the real
government of the United States."
Referring to the several tariff acts that
have been passed, the Senator said:
"It Is possible that a man because he
voted for the Allison tinplate rate of 1889
and heard poor McKlnley dedicate the
first tinplate mill in America, can be
convlVed in this chamber, of treachery to
the protective tariff system, If he de
sires that schedule re-examined, after
seeing the feeble enterprise of 1830 grown

Greece, She Leaps and Twists,
Falling Exhausted Finally Be
fore Altar, Amid Applause.
NEW YORK, May 4. (Special.)-jfew
York society revived a pagan festivity
today in the name of charity. Every
seat was taken and many stood in the
aisles to witness the "Greek Pageant
and Bacchanalia." given at the Manhat
tan Trade School for Girls, the perform
ance being for the benefit of that insti
tution. Mrs. Arthur Scott Burden and
other prominent young society "matrons
were performers and the benefit was a
notable society event. Mrs. Burden's
wild bacchante dance was one of the
chief -features.
In a costume characteristic of ancient
Greece, with her arms bare, her legs in
flesh-colored silk stockings, a leopard
robe thrown over her shoulders, wearing
a short robe of purple and with clusters
of grapes caught In her hair from the
gold fillet that held back her brown
curls, Mrs. Burden's appearance was
thoroughly appropriate for this remark
able terpslchorean exhibition of the wor
ship at the altar of the god of wine. .
She was light of foot every second and
flitted back and forth with grace and
rapidity. Starting oft with gyrations
unlike all modern dancing and with, lit
tle resemblance to terpslchorean oddities
shown on the stage in recent years,' JUrs.
Burden went through a;. performance rfiat
meant the real' worship of Bacchus..'
With steps varying from slow,
rhythmic measures to excited leaps, she
represented the action of -wirfB'v.on" the
nerves. Finally she danced, apparently
tired, toward the altar, and fell there ln
a posture of extreme exhaustion. The
effect on the spectators was electrical
and their applause was enthusiastic.
Bacchus, represented by Albert Herter,
conducted the libation-iouring rite in his
temple, attended by his priests and
bacchantes. The pageant, which lasted
45 minutes, was artistically and brilliant
ly costumed and staged. A bazar and
tea followed. ' MiJt

Marrying to Please Parents, Chi
cago Girl Dies Showing Aver
sion for Husband.
CHICAGO, May 4. -(Special.) Mrs.
William Rudes, a bride of 36 hours, tore
a strip oft the skirt of her wedding
dress today, twisted It Into the sem
blance of a rope and hanged herself on
a clothes hook in the bathroom of her
new home.
After marrying to please her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Ingls, the 23-year-old
wife lived with her husband
but little over one day. She killed her
self without leaving a message. The
mystery that enshrouds the suicide Is
being investigated by the police.
When the husband, who is only 25
years old. found the body of his bride,
she had been dead more than an hour.
In the desperation of his grief it re
quired all the strength of several of his
friends to prevent him from taking his
own life.
Guests who had attended the wedding
said the bride, who was Miss Josephine
Ingis, seemed to take little Interest in
the ceremony. After the wedding din
ner she went with her husband to a
photograph gallery to have a picture
taken, but averted her head and would
speak to no one as she passed along.

The recent gigantic strides of "syndi

the leadership of the General Federation
