Market street last night presented
a background for a kaleidoscopic dis

like the big municipal celebration.
The opportunity to throw aside con

led many a youthful maid to put aside
the hampering skirts and don the
loose-fitting, comfortable and panta
letted Tama-Tama costume. The oc

winter there was a shortage of
work in Emporia, Kan. The Rev. J. H.
J. Rice took the matter up with his
wealthy congregation. He announced
that if persons who had dead trees
on their property would notify him,
he would send men to cut and chop
the wood for fuel. As police judge
Mr. Rice made arrangements with tfte
city <o haul the wood to the homes of
the men who did the work, or to those
who would buy the wood. The pro
ceeds went to the workers and a "la
bor problem" in Emporia was solved.
Mr. Rice is emphatic in his dec
laration that he is only doing his
duty. His theory in regard to his
church is that it is his opportunity to
serve the community. Mr. Rice holds
that the church is an instrument of
righteousness which should not de

BROWN'S DECISION
AND ITS EFFECTS
Thousands of Youngsters Will
Be Able to Keep on Work
ing For the Present
The announcement of Attorney Gen
eral Brown that outstanding employ
ment certificates will be valid after
January 1 next affects 50,000 child
worker in Pennsylvania. More than
20,000 of that number nre employed
in Philadelphia.
If the certificates had been pro
nounced invalid, between 25,000 and
30,000 of the child workers would
have been required to return to the
regular grades In tho public schools
which they were attending when they
obtained their certificates. It is esti
mated that in such event 12,000 chil
dren woudl have returned to the al
ready crowded schools in Philadel
phia. The return of these children
to the schoolroom would have been
necessary because they could not have
complied with the provisions of the
new law that they must have passed
the sixth grade before obtaining an
employment, certificate.
The announcement of the Attorney
General will simplify the whole sit
uation for the schools, the employers
and the children. The school authori
ties can now devote all their energies
toward preparing for the establish
ment of continuation schools, knowing
.lust how many children they will have
to prepare to accommodate in such
schools. Employers can plan their
business, knowing that/ they can de
pend upon the continued service of
their present juvenile workers. Their
business will be continued without dis
turbance of present conditions, beyond
the necessity of sending their child
workers to continuation classes eight
hours per week. TTnder the new law
juvenile workers between the ages of
It and lt> may be employed nine
hours daily, but not more than fifty
one hours a week.
An important effect, of the an
nouncement of the Attorney General
will be that no distress will be caused
in families who have been largely de
pendent upon the earnings of children
between the ages of 14 and 16 years.
Many inquiries regarding the
phases of the subject have been made
to the State Department of Labor and
Industry and the definite as.yu-ance
given by the Attorney General will
make possible the giving of accurate
answers to these questions.
If there should develop an unusually
large demand for employment, cer
tificates under the present law before
the first of the year, steps will be
taken by the State Department of
Public Instruction to prevent any
abuse that may arise as a result of
the Attorney General's decision.

American Missionaries Imprisoned
by Turkish Officials
Passports Taken, Property Violated and Rights to
Tell Consuls Denied
(By the Religious Rambler)
After many months, the facts have
at last got out of Turkey concerning
the "deportation" of Dr. and Mrs.
Floyd I. Smith and their baby, mis
sionaries of the American Board at.
Diarbekir; and the story is one that
in normal times would arouse the
American nation to a fighting pitch.
Hard on its heels comes the news
of the sudden and mysterious death
of another American board mission
ary, Mr. Knapp, at the same place.
There are intimations that he was
foully dealt with by the Turkish offi
cials, but no proof has as yet reach
ed America. So fjir as the facts
are known, Mr. Knapp reached Diar
bekir one night apparently in good
health, under military escort, en route
to Harpoot. The next morning the
officials announced that he was "seri
otusly ill" and, shortly after, that he
had died.
The sensational experiences of Dr.
Smith at Diarbekir give color to the
fear that Mr. Knapp has been mur
dered. What American missionaries
think of conditions in Turkey at pres
ent is clear from the simple fact that
all of them who c.ould do so have sent
their wives and children out of the
country; and American diplomatic
and consular officials have done the
same. Whether the churches of
America are to be called upon to
face another Boxer ma'dness, this time
in Turkey, remains to be seen. The
opinion of missionaries is that if, by
the sacrifice of a few American lives,
the irresistible Indignation of the
civilized world may be aroused over
the Armenian atrocities and an end
put to these, tho price paid would
be small.
More than one person in this coun
try is now In possession of the well
nigh incredible story of how an
American citizen was robbed of his
passport and denied his mail and all
right of appeal to his government,
and driven from his home, carried
across the desert under arrest and
put into a foul hole called a prison,
and, after further removal, imprisoned
again and tried by Turkish court mar
tial. Staggering as in the story, this
is its first publication, although read
ers of this column were Informed
months ago that the Smiths had been,
for reasons unknown, deported from
Diarbekir.
The scene of the first of the out
rages upon Dr. Smith is the ancient
Roman city of Amlda, now called
Diarbekir. As this city stands on a
great precipice overlooking the Tigris
river, and fronting toward the moun
tains of Persia, it has been a strategic
center for all the conflicts that have
raged over this classic region since the
days of Sargon the Great, of Assyria.
Babylon, Persia, Greece, Borne. Islam
and the Crusader, have fought for
Diarbekir: and its "big mosque" was
originally one of the most beautiful
churches of antiquity.
Kurd, Armenian and Arab con
verge in Diarbekir. There is also a
Jewish settlement in the city. Im
portant as the walled city is, the
American board has for years had
only one representative in It, a mis
sionary physician and his family.
There are no other missionaries of
any name, and no consular representa
tive except a British vice-consul, who
had'to leave when Turkey and Britain
declared war.
The archives of the consulate were
turned over to the American mis
sionary, but as the Turks tried to get
them a British missionary woman
•who 'was passing through took the
responsibility tor burning them, to
keep them out of Turkisn hands.
American Representative slain
Because it is so remote a spot, the
Turkish officials seem to have felt free
to go to lengths of high-handedness
that are never dreamed of in the rela
tions between nations.
A British subject, named Albert
Atkinson, was sent to Diarbekir and
imprisoned. He carried a paper from
the American Consul General at Con
stantinople, Hon. G. Bie Pavndl, say
ing that he was under American pro
tection. He implored the missionary's
help, but the latter could do nothing.
Atkinson was kept In prison for a long
time and then killed.
The local agent of the Singer Sew
ing Machine Company, an Armenian,
was tortured and slain. Matosslan,
the representative of the Standard Oil
Company, wan reported dying in
prison, and when the American mis
sionary called on him he was refused
admission, as were also members of
the man's family. "Let him die like a
dog," said the guard > and he did die,
that same afternoon.
The Gregorian bishop was terribly
and fatally tortured. At first his
heard was burned off, as an insult-
Then later his fingers were pulled off,
his teeth knocked out, two holes
knocked In his skull, kerosene poured
on the body and the match applied.
Even members of parliament were
not safe. An Armenian deputy return
ed from Constantinople and gave him
self to urging Armenians to comply
with every Turkish regulation, such as
the giving up of arms. But both he
and his son were slain, enroute to
Bitlis.
A thousand Christians were put
aboard goatskin rafts, bound for Mosul
by the ancient Ninevah. Not one ar
rived. Of the tortures of the Chris
tians this is not the place to speak.
It was for ministering to victims of
Moslem atrocities that the American
missionary. Dr. Floyd O. Smith, who
has now safely reached Switzerland,
was called to account. He did not seek
them out; they brought their wounds
to the humble little dwelling which
serves alike as residence, dispensary
and hospital. Some twenty villagers
from Karabash, three hours' distant,
survivors of a massacre; came afoot to
the American doctor. Gunshot
wounds, amputations at the wrist, long
gashes in the neck, from attempted
decapitation, knife, sword and ax
wounds; several noses, and one case
with the side of the skull cut away
by an ax, and the brain protruding.
Seventy-five per cent, of the wounded
were women and children.
According to the Moslems, Dr.
I E ST HOP AGENCY I
other day a man said to us, "Great s|
Scott, everybody in Harrisburg must read M
Hj your Want Ad Page. About a week ago, 1 had g?
'jflj some furniture in the house for which I had Kt
no further use and put a Want Ad in the
j|| TELEGRAPH to see if I couldn't sell some sgj
fi|p of it. Well, sir, I could have sold a carload ga

furniture, an old "stove, or perhaps a carpet g?
or two? Turn 'em into cash, the Want Ad

Smith should have permitted no such
Christian gatherings at his home. Ha
was guilty, also, as he freely told
them, of possessing four revolvers, for
the protection of his wife and baby,
and household. Also, by arrange-'
ment with other missionaries, he had
arranged a "code" whereby innocent
phrases were made to report whatever
news might develop, as, "All well."
"Conditions improving," "Trying to
leave; government refuses guard."
"Massacres begun; foreigners in ex
treme danger," "Notify embassy," etc.
These most ordinary and natural pre
cautions were the sum total of Dr.
Smith's "offenses," as developed at th«
courtmartial, and at various examina
tions during the long period he was
under arrest.
There is not space to tell the story
in detail. The premises were seized
and searched and all documents taken.
Whether a single stick or Instrument
or medicine bottle will be recoverable
is doubtful. On the journey to tlio
coast with his wife and baby Dr.
Smith was seriously ill. At Urfa ha
was refused permission to lodge with
the American missionaries.
On the morning of July 4, Dr. Smith
was put into a small, dirty, dark, sultry
room at Aleppo, filled with vermin
and occupied by fifteen native prison
ers. Of course, no food Is supplied to
prisoners by the Turkish government, i
After this celotjatlon of "the glorlouaf
Fourth," Dr. Swith was released from/
prison, but not from custody, by an
American appeal to DJenial Pasha,
commander in chief.
When on July 20, he tried to leave
Beirut by the United States warship
Des Moines, he was again put into
prison for three days, along with two
score other prisoners. Then followed
the courtmartial and final acquittal.
Is it any wonder that. American
Christians are praying these days for
"the churches which are in Asia?"
