Indianapolis Winner in 2 Honrs,
Half Record Time Four In Na
tional Race Still In Air.
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.

ADMITS KILLING RUM.
NEGRO SIGNS CONFESSION AND

Clande Edmonds, Manacled to Jap

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

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.

SORE BESET
Soldiers Deprive Massacre
Refugees of Best Supplies.
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.

Pickpockets Secure $120 as
Crowd Leaves Cars.
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.

the criticisms were ttue of the older
universities. 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."
