CONSTANTINOPIJl May 1 Stephen
R. Trowbridge, a missionary who wit
nessed the killing of D. M. Rogers and
Henry Alaurer, fellow-missionaries at
Adana, has supplied an account of the
occurrence dated Adarra, April 24, to rep
resentatives of the Grand Vizier and has
written It out also for the mission board
at home. Mr. Trowbridge says:
"Firing and fighting began April M be
tween Moslems and Armenians, which re
sulted In a number of casualties on both
Bides. The next morning conflagrations
resulted from Incendiary Urea and had
spread to such an extent that we were
obliged to watch closely the building of
the girls' school and the residence of Wil
liam N. Chambers. Mr. Rogers was
guarding the home of Miss Wallace and
the dispensary across the street.
"All this time there had been no sign
of any effort on the part of the govern
ment authorities to stop the firing, the
pillaging and burning."
Mr. Trowbridge then tells of thv efforts
of himself, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Maurer
to save the school building.
"Mr. Maurer was using the erowbar
against a wall and I. higher up, was
pouring water on places catching fire.
Suddenly two shots rang out not more
than SO yards from where we were work
ing. ' "Mr. Rogers, who was In the street
bringing water, was mortally wounded.
He called to me by name and then fell
In the middle of the street. The other
bullet hit Mr Maurer in the left lung
near the heart and the crowbar fell from
his hands. He then climbed down the
ladder and collapsed at the side of Mr.
Rogers."
A little later, when British Vice-Consul
Daughty-Wylie. with 30 Turkish soldiers,
arrived, the neighborhood was deserted
and the murderers had fled.

MYSTERY MADE DEEPER
CONVICT SATS HE IS KIMMEL,
SUPPOSED DEAD MAN.
Adds Hew Complication to Insurance
Case by Saying Relative
Drugged Him.
ST. LOUIS, May 1. Another develop
ment in the strangest Insurance case in
legal history was revealed, today when
attorneys .for the New York Life In
surance Company filed , In the United
States Circuit Court the deposition of
a convict In the Auburn. N. Y., State
Prison. The convict, Andrew J. White,
declared he was George A. Kimmel,
cashier of the Farmers' State Bank of
Arkansas City, Kan., who disappeared
more than ten years ago.
. The witness tells a story of having
been drugged and imprisoned in a St.
Louis lodging-house for three weeks.
His identity as Kimmel is denied by
Klmmel's relatives, who are suing for
Insurance on his life.
Kimmel had been declared dead by
the St. Louis court, but the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals has de
clared the evidence insufficient and the
judgment against the Insurance com
pany was reversed. Shortly after in
suring his life for 925.000 in 1898 in
favor of his sister. Mrs. Edna K.
Bonnslet, lie disappeared from Arkansas
City.
The deposition consists of 700 type
written pages, throughout which ha
endeavors to Identify himself as Kim
mel. lie explains his disappearance by
declaring a relative was implicated in
embezzling 1100,000 from the Pacific
Express Company and that he had dam
aging evidence against this relative.
He declared the relative and others
caused him to be drugged and kept a
prisoner in St. Louis. After escaping
from -St. Louis, the convict says, he
went Kast. He was given a prison sen
tence for forgery.
The case will be retried here.
JOHN D. MISSES CHANCE
CANADIAN FINANCIERS GAIN
$4,100,000 IX DEAL.
Clever Bit of Eucliering Causes OH
Magnate to Sell Stock, Which
at Once Rises.
CHICAGO, May t (Special.) How John
D. Rockefeller was euchered out of J4.
100,000 by a group of Montreal financiers
Is a bit of gossip which floated around
today.
Long ago John D. took on 100,000 shares
of Wisconsin Central stock and 6000 of the
railway's bonds. He had his confidential
lieutenant, Frederick T. Gates, placed on
the directory. A receiver later on took
possession of the property, financial
stress was weathered, and finally the
road reached a stage where It was barely
breaking even.
Later the controlling element decided
to pay 4 per cent dividends on the stock.
John X. said he could not sanction this
seemingly reckless plan, and Gates was
told to dispose of the stock, which he
did after the market had been given
the stimulus of the 4 per cent dividend
information.
Once they had John D.'s certificates in
hand, the previously matured plan to
have the Canadian Pacific absorb the
struggling Wisconsin Central was put
into effect. Wisconsin Central soared,
and the Canadians cleaned up $4,100,000
in profits on the rise.

ATLANTA. Ga. May 1. The storm
which for three days has been sweep

was passing over the Atlantic Ocean
tonight. At least 200 were killed and
perhaps 400 injured. News of 34 more
deaths in Georgia were received today.
At Savannah the storm tore through
the old town, unroofed many houses
and destroyed much property.
Towns in North Carolina and Florida
suffered devastation. The casualty list
will be incomplete for several days.
Property worth probably several mil

in repairing their wires. With the over

may be secured.
II. has been years since the winds have
gathered so many victims. Tennessee,
sloping westward from the Virginia
Mountains to the dunes along the Mis

pivot upon and the list of GO dead In that
state seems to have been corroborated.
Arkansas, Alabama. Mississippi and
Georgia also suffered. "Word from Guth

were killed there, he only fatalities in

Louisiana and Texas seem to have been
