MUSIC RULES ATUNTA SOUTHERN MUSIC FESTIVAL HAD BRILLIANT OPENING, AUDIENCE OF 7,500 FIRST NIOHT. Atlanta.—The city all aflutter with flags and* gay decorationh welcomed the Great Southern Music f Festival before probably the largest and most brilliant assemblage which ever gath< ered in the south. The vast auditorium with its seat ing capacity of 7,500 was practically sold out. and in anticipation of the overflow, 1,000 chairs were hauled to the auditorium to be installed in the jpromenade in the event they were needed. Atlanta is truly the music center, of the south, for within the hospitable walls of the city were the most fa mous and brilliant of the songbirils, of the world, and an orchestra which has an international reputation. The artists were entertained at the homes of citizens. “It is a case of being almost killed with kindness,” said Mr. Martin, as he was about to leave lor luncheon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Victor L. Smith, who Were ente'/taining the artists, including Mrs. Farrar, Miss Farrar, Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Sfgnor Scotti, Madame Jomelli and Mille Schnitzer. ‘Tes,” echoed Signor Scotti, “we eat so much and go so much we can not sing,” and then they laughed in perfect harmony, so accustomed are they to appearing with each other. Following the luncheon the party were taken in automobiles to the country place of Mayor and Mrs. Maddox, just off the Peachtree road, one of the prettiest country places in the south, where >they were ^ven an elegant luncheon, followed by a twi light ride home. TURKISH MASSACRES / ■ —^— DETAILS OF BLOODYVVORK SHOCK THE IMAQIIS^ATION; ARMENIAN GIRLS SWAPPE6 FOR HORSES. Hofiimrta LsiW Buetsfi^ed. Washington.—^It has been many a day ^ since a decision of the supreme court of the United States has‘been received with so much interest as was manifested in the decision of that court in what are now known as tne “commodities clause,” cases affecting the anthracite coal carrying railroads. These cases had been decided by the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, fav orably to the railroads in that the clause of the Hepburn rate law, which prohibits interstate railroads from car rying commodities manufactured, mined or produced “^directly or indi rectly by the roads, was declared un constitutional and the general im pression had been that the decision would be afllrmed by the supreme court. i 13 Men Hanged by Turks. Constantinople.—Thirteen civilians and soldiers, sentenced by the military courts to death for murder, were hanged in different parts of Constan tinople. , Major Yussef, his son and three other men who killed the Syrian dep- iity, Emir Mohammed-Arslan, of the parliament, were executed on the spot where they committed the crime. Five others were hanged at the entrance of the ministry of war, and three men at the Stamboul end of the Galata bridge. Upon the breast of each crim inal had been pinned a larg6 placard in Turkish, setting forth the sentence of the court. Tarsus, Asiatic Turkey, May 5.— Authentic details of the atrocities committed "by the fanatical Mohazn* medans -in- the villages and farms in' this district are now coming into Tar sus with sickening abundance. The Worst particulars of these nar ratives cannot be mentioned, but they set forth without doubt that at least ten thousand lost their lives in this province, and some estimates place the total casualties at 25,000. The slaughter was unsparing, even Greeks and Syrians" were" struck down with the Armenians. Entire families were burned to death in their homes. Hundreds of girls and women were maltreated and carried off to the ha rems. The correspondent was informed that at one place a party of 100 Ar menians surrendered to the soldiers. The prisoners were taken to an open field, where the women were ordered tOi sta^d apart fr9m the raen. Every one of the men were then shot. In many cases they were done to death with their women clinging to them, trying to save their lives. A large number of women were wounded be cause of their persistence. Young Turks around Tarsus are trading Armenian girls for horses and modern repeating rifles. The entire ten days seem to have been an insen sate orgy of lust and violence in the name of race and religion. There are 30,000 dead in Adana province as a result of massacres and 35,000 homeless and penniless refu gees are wandering in the village. The deaths in Adana city alone are estimated at 6,500.

Ti,” that is, -ttie PosU, Telegraph and Telephones Employees* Association, threw down the gage of battle to the government by tram^prming itself in to a syndicate, or jifBion, under Uie. law of 1884, thus placing the asso- ciaUon on the same footing with work men’s unions, with ihe right to strike against the statie employer, as the workmen have the privilege of doing Against private employers. This defiance, which is nothing short of open revolt. Came as a sud den and sensational sequel of Pre mier Clemenceau’s failure to receive a deputation of postal employees, who c^led to present demands for the re demption of promises, which they claim the government made when the recent strike was declared off. The premier was ill and confined to his room, but the delegation pretended to believe that his indisposition was simulated. Their failure to be re ceived, however, ^rved as a pretext for springing th^ surprise they had secretly prepared, and within an hour the transformatiign of the association into a nationaf syndicate was an nounced, and ,the statutes of the or ganization officially filed in the city hall.
