ARMENIAN MASSACRES
WORLD HORROR SAYS
CHURCH PRELATE

A. P. A. Service.
ROME, Nov. 30.—“We solemnly be
lieve that out of a total of a million
or more inhabitants of the provinces
of Lrebizond, Sivas, Mitlis, Diarbakir
and Kahr scarcely fifty thousand have
escaped.” These words reveal a trage
dy without parallel in war and also
they show that the fragmentary reports
which have reached the outside world
concerning the Armenian massacres
gave only the most vague glimpses of
the actual situation.
It was announced .by the Armenian
prelate who made this statement to
day that he has personal knowledge of j
the conditions in Armenia and is in i
receipt of official reports telling what j
has been suffered by the helpless Ar- i
menlans. Commander Agonino Gor- j
rieni, who was the Italian consul gen - j
eral at Treblzond for a period of over j
six years gave the world its first in- j
formation of the true conditions in j
Armenia and it was through him that i
the Interview was obtained with the j
Armenian church prelate whose words
ere quoted above.
Commander Gorrienl has transmitted
a report to the Holy See from which
the statement quoted is taken. He
declares that it is impossible to tell the
awful horrors that have been inflicted
i n the Armenian people who are ab
solutely helpless in the grasp of the
Tui ks.

EXTRADITION ORDER
FOR KRAUSE
A. P. A. Service.
SEATTLE, Nov. 30.—Following the ;
granting of an extradition order by j
Governor Lister on application of the
Alaska authorities Edward Krause, the
alleged murderer of William Christie,
is now on his way to Alaska in charge
of Deputy Marshal Frank Cook and
several guards.
The transfer of Krause from the
county Jail to the steamer Humboldt
was accomplished with the greatest
secrecy owing to a fear that some fur
ther attempt would be made to pre
vent the prisoner being returned to
the scene of his alleged crimes.
Krause was taken from the jail
shortly ’after four o’clock this morn
, ing and hurried away In a closed auto
; to pier ten where he was compelled
! to wait for some time the arrival of
'the Humboldt which pulled out from j
her berth at pier seven as If preparing
to head down the sound, but later put
In to pier ten and picked up the pris
oner and his custodians. This precau
j tion was taken by the officers because
^ of a fear that an attempt would be
; made at the eleventh hour to balk
! them of their contemplation through
| habeas corpus proceedings. Krause’s
I counsel accompanied him on the Hum
| boldt but was not allowed to see the
J prisoner until the vessel was on Its
■ way down the sound.
