Pensacola Is Limit. INDIANAPOLJS. Ind.. June 6. Five of the nine balloons that started from this city Saturday in the National distance race ol the Aero Club of America and the endurance race of the Aero Club of Indiana have landed. These three landed today: The Chi cago, -with C. A. Coey and John Bennett, in the Indiana race, at Seottsville, Ky.; the Indianapolis, with Dr. Goethe Link and R. J. Irwin, in the Indiana race, at "Westmoreland, Term; the University of St. Louis, with John Borry and John McCullough, at Blanche, Tenn. Indiana Race Ended. These balloons landed last night: The ; Ohio, with Dr. H. W. Thompson and J. Blake, in the Indiana race, at Nashville, . Ind.; the Cleveland, with A. H. Morgan and J. H. . "Wadn, in the National race, near Columbus. Ind. All three of tha balloons In the Indiana race have landed. Four of those in 'the National race are yet in the air, sailing in a general southerly direction. It was reported, the Indiana has been disqualified in the National race by de fending to the earth for water and then proceeding on its Journey. A late mes sage, howewr, from Riot Fisher says: Message From the Indiana. "Sumner County, Tennessee. June 6. 5:10 P. M.) Out of water. Are sending down two 'buckets. Wo have a slow southwest breeze, which we may hang to." The Indiana endurance race was won by Dr. Link and R. J. Irvine, of the In dianapolis. They were in the air about 22 hours. The Chicago was second and the Ohio third. The record is 44 hours, held by Alfred Le Blanc, of France, who started in the international race from St. Louis October Zl. 1907, for the James Gordon Bennett cup. If the balloons still com peting in the National race now on con tinue south, they will have to land near Pensacola, 675 miles from Indianapolis, and therefore would have no chance of beating the record. AIRSHIP LINKS ARE PLANNED Routes Will Re Followed From Paris In Many Directions. PARIS, June 6.

Clande Edmonds, Manacled to Jap anese, Is Jailed to Await Trial for Murder. Claude Edmonds, a negro, under in dictment by the grand jury of Multno mah County for murder in the first de gree for killing L. o. Ruhl. the propri etor of a lodging-house at Seventh and C.lisan streets, a year ago last Decem ber, arrived In this city last night in VT..c"Btody of I-tlves Oraddock and MSUlett from Redding. Cal.. where he hud been apprehended by local police offi cers on the description and circulars sent hyths rtland police. Edmonds talked freely of the killing and made a confession in writing to the detectives in which he admits assaulting Ruhl. but in which he sets forth the plea of self defense. I confessed to striking Ruhl with my gun said -Edmonds Inst night at mid night after his arrival at the Police Sta tion. Ruhl had necusod me of being ntlmate with the Russell woman, and that led to a qimrrvl. He attacked me with a razor and to defend mvself I luirt to knock him ikwn with the butt of my cm. I was afraid of Ruhl. anv- .ow. He had attacked me with the razor before. He was jealous and thought I u 'ntorl'lrpi with his relations with the Russell woman." The police, however, maintain the the ory that robbery was committed at the time, and have evidence, they sav. which will undermine Edmonds' plea of self. rleten.se and show robbery as the motive Ruhl was known to have had a large sum of money about him just before the ar-sanK and this money was missing when he was found unconscious Accompanying Edmonds was a Japa nese. K. Ni.shi. who was taken into cus tody by the authorities In Sacramento. L. at the request of the Portland po lice on the charge of obtaining money tinder false pretenses.

MEASLES IS EPIDEMIC Crops Ripe, but None Dares Go Out to Harvest' Them Treachery of Turk Proved Relief Work Is Vnder Heavy Handicap. BEIRUT, Jtme 6. It la evident condi tions everywhere In Asia Minor are far from settled and that it will take time and a government much stronger than the present one to make It possible for people to go about their labors with safety. After the terrible massacres and the pillage and burning of Adana, a new vali and new troops were sent from Con stantinople. Much was expected of them, but they have done little to improve con ditions. The inefficiency of the government Is seen and felt everywhere. Six thousand troops and hundreds of officers swarm about Adana and eat up the best there is to be had. Relief committees are com pelled to send into the country for the commonest food staples. i Relief Work Slow. The work of relief at Adana is being pushed as far as means will allow. At present in the big camp are 14,800 per sons on the ration list, while 1400 more are drawing daily rations from the home of one of the missionaries. The unfor tunates have been herded together in rags and squalor, huddling under inade quate shelter to protect themselves from the heat, at night crowding together to protect themselves from the cold because of insufficient covering. Measles Is Epidemic. Under such conditions there are in this camp today hundreds of children with measles. In one hospital there are more than 500 wounded. Crops in the Adana region are ripe, and unless they are gathered soon famine inevitably will re sult. Guards to protect the people who have dared to venture out to gather their crops have time and again proved the treachery of the Turk. The farmers have been stabbed or shot down as soon as they came outside of the city limits. At Baghche it is reported recent events there showed Mohammedan fanaticism and hatred of the Armenian was even more intense than in the massacres of IS!. One-half the male population over 13 years old has been killed and Protestants suffered more in proportion than did the Gregorians. TURKEY MAKES STRONG DENIAI. Declares Victims of Massacres Will Not Number Over 4000. WASHINGTON, June 6. Emphatic de nial was entered today at the Turkish Embassy to reports that 20,000 or 30.000 persons had been killed in the recent troubles in Asiatic-Turkey. It was de clared unusual efforts were being made to punish those responsible for the disor ders. Deep regret was expressed that exaggerated reports had been printed in certain newspapers concerning the disor ders. In contradiction of the reports. It was stated in the last official news the victims would not exceed 4000. Not only had the Minister of the Interior asked for the appropriation of $150,000 to aid the victims, it was stated, but the gov ment. on its own responsibility, had sent J10.000 at once. Eollowing the examples set in the pun ishment of those responsible for the-outbreak in Constantinople April 13, another court-martial had been established in Adana, to try those responsible for the trouble. LODGE MEMBER HONORED Masons of Moro Present Postmaster Parry With Welcome Girt. MORO, Or.. June 6. (Special.) In rec ognition of the faithful service of Post master J. M. Parry in the Masonic Lodge of Moro. he was presented Friday night with a handsome gift, which was nothing less than an amount of money sufficient to defray ail the expenses incident to ac quiring the higher honors of Masonry as well as of the Mystic Shrine. Mr. Parry will go to Portland next week, where he will enroll in the regular class and re ceive the degrees of the Scottish Rites.

WOMAN MAY BE IN GANG Passengers Arriving From Seattle Report Two Thefts and There Are Perhaps Others Crooks Here For Festival. Pickpockets, one of whom is believed to be a woman, went through the crowd last night on the incoming train from Seattle, due in Portland at 8:35 o'clock and with the skill of expert profession als filched pockefbooks from the appar ently safe recesses of trousers' pockets without even causing the slightest sus picion on the part of their victims. Sev eral people were victimized, and two re ported losses to the police aggregating J" ,E- Knowlton. a dental student of Seattle, lost J40 in gold and James Quinn, a merchant and the postmaster at Quinn s Landing, Wash., lost $80 in gold A number of others who were said to have been victimized for small amounts did not report their losses to the police. Police detectives, deputies from Sheriff Stevens office and the special detectives of the railroad company are now scour ing the cify for the thieves. All the officers admit that they are matched against the "real finished crooks" from the East, and they expect difficulty In apprehending them or preventing their operations in this city. The robberies last night occurred just as the train had pulled into the Union Bepot and the passengers crowded toward the coach doors to alight. Mr. Knowlton one of the victims, was carrying three suitcases and was so occupied with his baggage he did not notice the deft hand that plucked his purse from his hip Sfiw i. " ,he had stePPe,J upon tho platform he placed his luggage down to readjust his hold upon it and with the instinct of a traveler in a strange city felt to see if his money was safe. Dis covering his loss, he raised a cry of alarm and told other passengers he had been robbed. They gave him a boost and Knowlton climbed back into fhe coach ;rOU.? fa open wlndw. believing that the thief or thieves were still in the crowd. A very prepossessing looking woman, dressed in style, and accompa nied by a blase looking man. caught his attention, but he saw nothing directly to arouse his suspicion against them. These strange people disappeared in the crowd and the police think they may be the thieves. Mr. Knowlton is stopping at 4S4 Burn side street. Mr. Quinn and his - wife were on the coach platform at the same time as was Mr. Knowlton. The first intimation that he had been robbed came to him affer he was seated in a hotel bus and put his hand down for his pock etbook to pay the fare. His pocket was turned wrong side out. He is stopping at the Hotel Esmond. Both victims were entirely without other money and were obliged to telegraph to their homes for additional funds. Almost immediately after the report of the robberies Detective Sergeant Smith and others were at work on the, case but no trace of the pickpockets was found According to the police theory last night s train brought in the first consignment of the predicted horde of confidence people who are reported to be due in Portland this week to operate during the Rose Festival. Special pre cautions will be maintained by the po lice to detect and apprehend this class of people, but warnings will no doubt be issued to be cautious while in dense crowds, as it is only in crowds that these thieves work to advantage.

Dr. Schurman averred they totally misrepresented conditions in the newer universities like Cornell, Wisconsin, Nebraska and others found ed since the Morrill land grant act of 1862. These he characterized as the "people's" universities. He said: "Differing from the old universities, the people's Institutions were meant to minister to the intellectual life of all classes of citizens. They meet the de mands by providing for courses not only in letters and ancient discipline, but in science and the manifold appli cations of science to modern life. "Another difference between the older New England and New Jersey universities and Cornell and the state universities is, they are venerable in stitutions and consequently enjoy the prestige of age. They possess a social attractiveness which secures for them the sons of parents who desire for their children not so much Intellectual train ing and these acquisitions of knowl edge, as the advantageous social pres tige which comes from having pursued these objects. "Cornell, on the contrary, is a demo cratic institution in which 'social standing' cuts no figure and only a high standard of mental perfection is desired of its graduates."
