(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Atlanta, May 22 Stating that the
firemen's strike situation at Thom
son, on the iieorgia Railroad, is most
critical, and beyond his control, the
sheriff of McDufTy county has tele
graphed Governor Sniitih that sympa
thizers of the striking firemen are
hoarding Georgia Railroad trains and
forcibly ejecting the negro firemen
and compelling the side-tracking of
trains at that point.
Governor Smith, It is understood,
may call out the state troops to pre
serve order at Thomson. Governor
Smith, who is at Fitzgerald, has been
In telegraphic communication .'. ..with
Attorney-General Hart In regard to
the strike. The chief executive still
adheres to the opinion that the
trouble should be settled by arbitra
tion and to thU end he suggested to
Judge Hart today that he go to Au
gusta and consult with General Man
ager ScoU of the Georgia Railroad.
Judge Hart will probably start for
Augusta this afternoon.
A serious phase of the strike de
veloped today when it became known
that uneasiness had arisen in the
ranks of the engineers of the Geor
gia Railroad because of the personal
danger to which they are subjected
In driving their engines. Trains have
been stoned all along the line nnd en
gineers have found it difficult to
protect themselves from violence.
This, It Is said, may lie followed by
the engineers declining to take out
locomotives manned by non-union
firemen.
Following the receipt of a telegram
from F. A. Burgess, assistant granu
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers, in which he stated
that trains have been stoned and the
safety- of engineers jeopardized, Gen
eral Manager Scott last night made a:;
appeal to Governor Smith to take
vigorous measures to protect the en
; gineers. '
Mr. Scott has submitted the mat
ter of the differences of the road and
its firemen to the interstate commerce
commission and the commissioner of
labor at Washington, constituting a
hoard of mediation as provided in the
Krdman net.
Senator Bacon, replying to General
Manager Scott's roo,iiesl that ho exert
his influence with the posloffleo de
partment to have some action taken
by the government, declines to Inter
vene nnd expresses the hope that the
trouble might; he permanently re
lieved by withdrawing negro compe
' tit Ion w ith whlto firemen.

THE NEW SULTAN
WILL PROTECT
THE CHRISTIANS
Leaders in the Massacre at
Adana Will Pay Severe
Penalty
MANY WILL BE HANGER
Sultan Has Already Signed Thirty
live Death Warrants and Others
Are in Course of Preparation To
day Wants to Show the Outside
World That Christians Will be
Protected During His Reign His
Policy Indicates That the Penalty
of Death Will be Visited Vpon All
Concerned in the Massacre of
Christians.
(By Cable to The Times)
Constantinople, May 22 Me
bemnied V today gave orders for
wholesale executions as a result of
lhe investigation of the royal com
misison into the massacre at Adana
and adjacent communities. The sul
tan has already signed thlrty-flve
death warrants and others are in the
course of preparation today.
While punishment is being meted
out to the ringleaders in tho recent
slaughter of Armenians and othPr
Christiansthe conditions about
Adana are becoming appalling. With
the oncoming of warmer weather
there is increasing danger that a ter
rible plague will descend upon the
community, destroying by disease
thousands who escaped the sword.
The -wives and daughters of Ar
menians are still being detained in
the households of influential Moham
medans who defy all orders to give
them up. The Armenian patriarch
has begged Hilmi Pasha to give Im
mediate instructions to have the wo
men and girls liberated. This he has
promised to do,
While it was believed that the
leaders in the massacre might escape
punishment it is now apparent that
severe measures will be visited upon
them.
The convictions of the new sultan
against the wholesale public execu
tions in Constantinople have been
offset here by his desire to show the
outside world that the Christians of
his realm will be protected during
his reign. It is indicated by his pol
icy that the penalty of death will be
visited upon every one found guilty
of implication' 'in this massacre.
The conditions in Adana have be
come so fearful that immediate
measures must be; taken. Twenty
thousand refugees aro gathered out
side the city in a big camp, some of
them sleeping in the open air and
living upon such food as they can get
by begging. Starvation is staring
the .community' in the face; disease is
breaking' out rapidly and there Is a
grave scarcity of medicines and phy
sicians. Supplies have been prom
ised and It is promised that the sit
uation will be relieved within a week.
