THE NEW YORK TIMES. MONDAY, 'AVUtL TRUTH ABOUT THE BAKU MASSACRES I- Full Details of the Slaughter Iron Local Sources. fiEARLY 2,000 LIVES LOST innenlia and Mussulman Notibles Unite to Stop Bloodshed Convincing Arraignment of the Russian Authorities. i LONDON. AprtI 1.

Heretofore but gtarre details and generalisations have appeared In the preaa of Western Ej- 1 rope and of the United State cohcern-I jjH the massacres which took place la iBaku. in the Caucaaua. on Feb. 19. 20.

JL 22. and 23 last. The following letter from 11. F. B.

Lynch of the Athe-aauera Club, published In The London Times of April 1. gives a mass of material concerning the massacres obtained from leoal sources: So many persons in this country are interested in the oil Industry of Baku that the recent massacre In that city, by which, according; to an of flcial itatrmect in the jHouse of Common, nearly 2.O0O persona Host; their lives, can scarcely be regarded at one of those horrors at a distance which from time to time send a transient thrill anong the readers of newspapers. (But. while we have been placed in posses ion of the outward facts of the case, I am not aware tnat any light has yet been thrown upon the origins of the tragedy. (Having more than once been In Baku and traveled extensively In the adjacent coun tries, my first feelings were those of surprise, approaching astonishment, that an Jlnterneclne feud should have developed betwten.

the Mussulman and the Armenian inhabitants. This Is what we were given to u.iortand by the Russian official accounts. 1 threw them aside, saying to myself: No, that does not sound likely." And I waited for further Information. I had satisfied myself during my travels in the Caucasus and in both Russian and Turkish Armenia that most of the talk which we so often hear of Christians and Mohammedans flying at each others' throats was either inspired by interested parties or had its origin in long past times when such spontaneous fanaticism did no doubt exist. At the present day it Ias seldom any origin in fact, the tendency being both In Russia and Turkey for the Christians and the Mussulmans to be drawn together in opposition to the existing Government.

Thus a priori one looked with suspicion on the Russian of-rficlal statement. The accounts which I have now received jppear to merit the widest publicity. They to show that we are face to face iwtth a second Kishineff. the Armenians In this case taking the place of the Jews. The Jews have many and powerful friends In Europe men of their own race occupying positions of great Influence.

This ad-vantage is not shared by the Armenians; but the sense of justice which animates our own press will. I feel sure, mete out to them equal measure wjien they are the victims In the aame or similar circumstances. Moreover. It Is becoming apparent that the tragedy at Baku is destined to take its place as an event of wcrld-wiae and historical throwing a flood of light not only upon the proceedings of the existing regime in Russia, but also upon the relations of Christians end Mussulmar.s throughout the East. Let the accounts now speak for themselves.

even; the censor nodded. The Baku newspaper, Bakinskia Isves-lla, whkh. like all other Russian newspapers of the Caucasus, is published under the supervision of the censor, writes as follow in a leading article under date lYb. Thr horror that have taken place in the middle of Baku during the last four days are incrscribable. Even the famous Turkish massacres in Armenia fade be-llo the savage lacchanalia in our midst, hire in tile pattsions of homicide, outrage, arson.

plunder were let loose. The most elementary human rights were ruthlessly suppressed, and there appeared to he no iower In he land willing to stand 'in in their defense. What was It that evoked tills slaughter and civil war two races which were living together iii K-rfeel peace? There was no social or economic jealousy between them. no i aversion, and no religious hatred. One couUl adduce a whole fcries of facts to prove this proposition, some Of them during the very course of the four Bartholomew's days when the slaughter a full progress.

AVe are thrown ttk upon poln teal considerations: and it is In this region alone that we shall be able to find tht key to the true cause of an occurrence in which the actors Improved upon the part played at Kishineff. A careful and impartial public inquiry can "lone unveil th actual contrivers of the trasedy. It mas not altogether unforeseen. We can ourselvi.a state that rumors of an intrigue in this direction reached us nearly a month ago, soon after the tragio venia in St. Petersburg.

We ourselves have not the slightest doubt that the massacre waa organised by the same blood-guilty persons who planned the butchery at KishinefT. From many Indications which have appeared in the newspapers of Baku It appears certain that Immediately after the first outbreak In St. Petersburg rumors were circulated by mysterious agents among the Mussulman throughout the Caucasus, and especially In Baku. the effect that the Armenians were arming themselves with the object of Wisacrlng the Mussulmans; and similar sinister fears were equally spread among the Armenians about the Mussulmans. As a result nervous suspicion was engen-red between the two races.

On Feb. 19 -'A Mussulman named Babaeff. who was filiated to several wealthy and Influential jlohi mimed an families exercising a hold upon the most Ignorant Fectlon of tho Mussulmans of Baku, was shot dead In close proximity to the Ar-Pnnin church. It has been Impossible discover who fired the shot, Russian authorities, without any. evidence or proof, gave out' thit the flme had been committed by order of lhe Armenian Revolutionary Committee.

But such an act was obviously opposed tn the fundamental policy of that committee, which is mainly directed toward the amelioration of the condition Of the Armenians In Turkey. It is true thi t. as result of the suppression by the Government of tha Armenian Usaaj school and. tha confiscation of the Armaiaa Church, all ths Intelligent Armenians' of the Caucasus are in sympathy with the committee and have organised In every town and village societies for the preservation if the national existence ln Russia. But both the Georgians and the Mussulman have all been deprived of their lights by the Russian Government In a greater or lesser degree, and for this reason the new Armenian organization had as Its principal object the propagation among the Tartars and the Georgians of a sentiment of common brotherhood.

The Georgians have already been robbed of their schools, and the service in their churches Is performed In the Ruesian language. The Tartars a few years sgo were deprived of the properties of their mosques. The common grievances of these various peoples have natumly drawn them together, and, while they eschew separation from Russia, they make common, cause with the Russian Liberals." The newspaper then proceeds to give an account bf the massacre in the following terms: From the windows of our office we overlook the -feverish movements of the crowd to the accompaniment -of deafening discbarges of firearms. Wreaths of light smoke issue from the windows of the Tartar Hotel, and shot after shot whlxxes into the crowd. On the opposite pavement an Armenian la running for his life.

He falls, gets up, and runs on again. More shots from the hotel. We hold our breath and keep our eyes fixed on the scene. A picket of Cossacks' are standing fifty paces away. A posse of soldi rs approaches.

We expect to see them surround the hotel from which the shots proceed. But no! They mlrch away, while the Cossacks remain where they were. "What is that movement In the distance? Men running. On they come, all Tartars, brandishing berdans, revolvers, and swords. They pass close to the picket of Cossacks, who never stir.

They fire on every unarmed Armenian they can see, shouting hurrah 'to they paaa out of sight. Close on these comes a crowd of their fellow-countrymen armed to the teeth. They approach the Cossacks, enter Into friendly conversation with them, and then follow in the footsteps of the first band. More reports, and more victims rolling over in sight of the Cossacks. We wonder where we are.

Is this our Russia? WOMEN AND CHILDREN BURNED. This graphic account would equally apply to the events of Baku during four whole days. Hundreds of; Armenians were killed, and. equally, a large number of Tartars fell at the hands of the Armenians. One Armenian well-known petroleum magnate Is said to have killed no less than sixty Tartars while fighting for his life and the lives or his family.

Hia house was set on fire, and he. with his wife and children, perished ln the flames. Many womerkand children were burned alive or cut to Meanwnue, en the veryvflrst day of the massacre, the Armenian and Mussulman notables had been in communication with the Governor through, tha telephone. They had petitioned him for permission to make a Joint procession through the town in the endeavor to stop lurther bloodshed. Telegrams were arriving from all the towns in the Caucasus, in which Tartar and Armenian notables and priests Jointly urgeUthe representatives of both nations in uaku to put a stop to this fratricidal slaughter.

The Government put difficulties ln the way of such a procession, until the Shelkh-ul-Islam the religious head of the Mohammedans In Russia came over from TUUs and personally prevailed upon the local authorities to provide him with an escort of Cossacks while he was proceeding to gather the priests and notables together. When he had assembled them the question arose whether a request should be made for troops to accompany the procession. But the discussion was cut short; by the Mohammedan Cadi, who said: Gentlemen, it seems to me to be a crime even to consider this question when our timet Is so short. Every minute Is dear, and we must go at once and without an escort even if It should cost us our lives." i This counsel was adopted, and the procession made Its way without incident to the spot where most blood had been shed. Then the Shelkh-ul-Islam addressed the multitude in words which have appeared in all the Baku Fellow Mohammedans! blood freeses in my veins when I think of the punishment that Is awaiting you at the Judgment seat of God.

Yox have shed tae Innocent blood of your own brothers, the Armenians. Perfidious and abominable accusations have instigated, you to lift your hands against your brother Armenians, who are in no way guilty. You have forgotten the brotherly relations which you have had with them for a long period, and. like wild beasts, you have rushed upon your peaceful brothers, and hundreds of families have been left orphans. Awake from your stupor! Cut off your left hand with your r'ght and let ycur right hand perish.

Recognize that it Is our enemies who have triumphed that they have at last succeeded in destroying those brotherly relations which have so long existed between the two neonles. But no. We must not allow them the full measure of their triumph. Stretch forth brotherly hands to the Ar menians. Repent your crimes, and.

to gether with the Armenians, console and assist the orphans whose fathers and brothers have fallen. I am firmly convinced that the horrors which have taken place here in Baku between you and the Armenians will be the last for centuries to come. Live together them In brotherhood, and God will bless you." A SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT. The last words of the Shelkh-ul-Islam were drowned by the sobs of the crowd. The Tartars threw down their firearms and went over to the Armenians in tears Then followed a significant incident.

A memorial service for the victims was held In the courtyard of the Armenian cathedral In Tlflis. There, perhaps for the. first time in history, were seen the Mufti and the Bhelkh-ul-Islam with their mollahs and thousands of Mohammedans participating in a Christian service. The total number of those present, according to the Tlflis newspapers, was about 4.1.000. On the balcony waa standing the Catholikos of the Armenians, that noble face and venerable figure which I have endeavored In my book to make familiar te Errl'eh readers.

At his one elbow stood the iluftl. and at the other the Shlekh-ul-Islam. Mufti made the following speech: I We are all brothers, descended from the same Adam. If we now confess different religions, that is no reason why we should be enemies. Our fathers and forefathers lived side by side In perfect friendliness.

must follow their exempli s. 1 have lived long among the Ar-" rs-nlan and have discovered nothing bad in thm. nor have they, received any bad trtalmert from us. should It otherwise now? We have One enemy, and against him Tartars am. Ar menians must oe unnea in umcr 10 prevail.

It 1 that enemy who brought on this madness, and. therefore, let him be accursed. But let u. be united and mutually assist one another." This speech has" also -appeared In the newspapers of the' Caucasus. The Shelkh-ul-Islam in hie oration spoke of wily spirit jthafc inspired the Baku Mohammedans to perpetrate these shameful and uttered his cure upon He appealed to the peo ple to swear that they would not listen to the Devil." whereupon Armenians.

Mohammedans, and Georgians about 4.1.M people exclaimed with one voice. We wear not to listen to the Devil." The Mufti and the Sheikh then Invited the Armenian Bishops to make speeches In their mosques. jThe Bishops accepted the Ihvitatiou. but refrained from alluding to the Spirit of Darkness or the DeviL which Is a well -understood pseudonym of the Russian Government1. I now propose to adduce some further evidence, which at all events, that.

In the opinion bf many competent local observers, the Russian Government not only took no steps to prevent the massacre, but has come under the suspicion of having connived at It. ACCOUNT: OF AN OFFICIAL. A Justice oi the Peace writes to the Kovoe Obosrenle as foIloSe: "In company with my colleagues M. and Dr. Ch.

I could see from the windows of my house, at a little distance from us. a crowd of Tartars in the act of setting fire to the houses of friends of ours. We telephoned to the police station of the Third District, aud received the answer, Really! Where are these bouses Now, the police station is only a short distance away from the houses In question." The Baku branch of the Russian Imperial Technical Society held a meeting In the Town Hall, which was attended by over 2.000 persons of different nationalities and social positions. The following resolutions were passed: 1 No racial or religious animosity exists between the Mahommedan and Armenian populations. This is proved by the peaceful and neighborly relations which have.

sibsist3d bet them far many years; by the fact that they often conduct business in common, pnd also by the many Incidents which occurred during the massacre of protsctlon given by Ma-hommedans to Armenians. (2) "The fact that the massacre commenced simultaneously ln different parts of the town, coupled with the further fact that so many of the Tartar participants were armed with berdans, rifles, and forces upon us the conviction that (a) the ignorant Mohammedan mob commenced and continued the massacre in the confidence of Impunity, (b) the massacre was preceded by preparatory work, and (O that it was guided ffby a hand experienced in police work. This supposition is confirmed by the almost Instantaneous stoppage of the massacre as if by word of command. (3) The police and military at the disposal of the authorltlea were quite adequate to stop the disturbances when they commenced. (4) The facts made public at this meeting, and which could be certified by the evidence of many witnesses of undoubted credibility, show conclusively that the police not only failed to take any measures to stamp out the disturbances, not only refrained from placing any obstacles In the way of the ruffians and murderers, but either remained Inactive or Instigated and encouraged them.

It can even be proved that the police took part in the pillage and murder. i It has been established by this meeting: that the local administration incited the local Mohammedan population against the Armenians, declaring that the Armenians were enemies of the Czar, and ascribed to them a desire to massacre the Mohammedans. This propaganda had been taking place long before the massacre, but was conducted with special vigor during the period immediately preceding It. This fact is probably explained by the fear of the authorities that the events ln St. Petersburg would find an echo in Baku.

6.) This meeting, therefore, places on record Its belief that the Baku massacre is a repetition of the massacre of Kishineff. excelling the latter only by the number of its victims. (7.) "The public conscience demands an unprejudiced trial which would disclose the real authors of the tragedy. It will not be satisfied by an Inquiry con ducted by Government officials. The in activity of the authorities has convinced the people that thene same authorities Intentionally encouraged the massacre.

On the other "hand, the authorities plead that they had not an adequate number of soldiers. It is. however, certain that they did not take any steps whatever to make use of the soldiers whom they had at their disposal, and this inactivity on their part encouraged he crowds. We consider, therefore, that only a public trial conducted by Impartial persons will satisfy the public. In our capacity as persons to whom property of great value and thousands of workmen with their families are intrusted, we.

members of this society, call for such a public in which the Government must be not the judge, but thj defendant." AUTHORITIES HELD TO ACCOUNT. The following is the resolution passed by the managers and engineers of the oil springs: We, the undersigned managers and engineers of the Bibl RHaat oil springs and factories, who nre in rlo-'c and daily relations with the working ilisaes. hereby testify that the massacre Tvhich took place In Baku from the 19th to the td of February among the Arv.cnlans and Tartars cannot be ascribed tc- racial animosity. It was. witfcout doubt, due to an internal Influence.

The responsibility must largely be charged upon the authorities, who took aTirolutely no measure to put an end to the, slaughter. During these four days defcx-sless people were killed and houses were burned and pillaged under the very eves of the troops and police. Not only the soldiers not -use their armsj which they are so prompt to use against unarmed workmen on strike, but they did not even attempt to disarm or arrest the murderers. We ere convinced that the authorities had at their disposal during the period of the massacre sufficient troops to cope with the disturbance, and. as Russian cltl-sens.

we hereby demtnd a public Inquiry, to be fotlowed by a trial and severe pun-Uhment of the persons implicated. It should be noted that the tragedy was brought to an end. not by civil or military authority, but by a solmn procession of citizens, headed by the Russian, Armenian, and Mahommedan clergy. We are further-convinced that it would have been very easy to arrange for the passage of this procession on Feb. 20.

If the police authorities would only have given permission for the national representatives to meet together. In order to hold such a meeting it was only necessary to provide an escort of about ten Cossacks for a few hours. This assistance was requested, but was not given." A similar resolution was parsed by the Association of the Producer of Petroleum at Baku, at a meeting held on Feb. It states that: "The authorities suffered hundreds of defenceless people to be murdered In the streets and houses under the eyes of armed police and troops, the murders being followed by pillage and arson."

FOOD FIRST, THEN GOSPEL And He Doesn't Turn jAway Beats. Me-Aulty Mission Head Says Always Heara with Respect, Not for many months, has the attention of the Rockefeller Bibta Class been held so closely as by the talk given yesterday by S. H. Hadley, Superintendent of the old Jerry McAuley In Water Street. He opened hlsi hearers eyes by stories' of the drunkards converted and still being converted ln the mission.

After his lecture a letter from John D. Rockefeller, was read. His is not to return from Eurcpe for at least a month. Mr. Hadley began by saying that nowhere in the world was there so well-taught a city as New "fork, and that nowhere else did teachers get such a respectful I've seen all the lowest forms of life here." he said.

and I know. I've been ln dives and gambling houses and thieves and murderers' dens, and I've found that I always got a respectful hearing. I was never sneered at. I Down In Water Street we take In the toughs and the drunkards in fact, there are not very many of any other kind that come to us: if one of you came down there I wouldn't know what to do with you. We invite 'em al( In and they come; the lower down they want em.

We always have a are the more we table full of food, too. I've found that t'ne best way to get at a man's heart Is thq old familiar way-hit him in the stomach with a loaf of bread; then I can pra(y with, him after ward. i I I remember one man he was called Scotty the Bum who came in to a meet ing we had years agoi He had but two garments, and there was about a foot of space between them. iHe was the worst Water Street had everj seen, and none of the lodging houses would take him In. I got him in, though, and when asked all those who wanted to be converted to hold up their nanus Scottyj was the only one.

When got up to come forward he toppled over on his facc.j They picked him up. though, and he's been up ever since. He got a job, rose steadily, and three or four years ago he rodei at the head of of the finest laboring men ln New York ln the Labor Dayl parade. Of course, when they are reclaimed these men sometimes fall back again, and we have to begin all over. One of them will get a Job and start out all right but it's a hard job for him to keep a ten-dollar bill In his pocket.

I lived In saloons and in cheap lodging houses. One, after I had got 2ii0 or of crooked money, I set out on a big jag. I got delirium tremens and was dying. I was in thin fix when the change came. was sitting on a whisky barrel in the back room of a saloon on the corner ofj Third Avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street.

Maybe some of you don't believe In visions. Well, I saw lone that It came to me amid all the cursing and drinking in that saloon. I rushed In to the bar, where four young men were Just about to take their drinks, and told them I would never take another drink. said one them to me. If you want to keep up to that you'd better go to the police station and get locked up.

I took his advice, I went to East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Street Station on the run. and told the Captain to lock me up. He asked me and I told him why. 1 was put ln Cell No. 10.

That was the 'd of April, and on the same day every year I go back to the station and visit Cell No. lO. I have gone twenty times now. and it won't be many days before the twenty-first. I make It a point to go about the time the men are turning out so I can have a talk with them.

i "The next day I iwent down to the Jerry McAuley Mission, and from that day to this I've never had the taste for liquor. And I waa a drunkard for twenty-two years. Jerry McAuley died a year or two after that, and had the biggest civic funeral any man ever had in New York. When he founded his mission in Water Street he was ex-convict, ex-bum. ex- river pirate, ex-pretty nearly everything bad.

As I have aald. the men that come to us down there are nearly all drunkards. I tell men to come te me when they get out of prison. Once; a year I go up to Sing Sing and talk to the men In prison there. I When you get out.

I say to them, come to me. If you can't come sobee. then come drunk. Will you come? And they all answer, 'Yes: we'll Ar! they do come. too.

hundreds of "em. Trey Just say Sing Sing i to me, and that enough. I know the rest. I don't believe one out of a hundred comes there for salvation. They just come to get a night'a lodging, or something to eat, or to beat me out cf a quar-tr.

On one occasion I had Lusitess man say to me: Hadley. I hear you re the mcst beat man in New York." i I don't think so.f I answetd, for I don't call giving being There's plenty of opportunity for more work of this kind here in New York. The barrooms are full of the men we want to save, right this minute. They are young fellows, "lots of them who come here from the country, get Jobs; andf then go broke. The saloons open to them." The letter from Mr.

Rockefeller In part follows: I I have just taken- a two weeks automobile trip up into the mountains, and expect to go on another- toward Italy soon, perhaps going as far as Genoa and Pisa. I find that It will be impossible for me to return within less than a month. You never know how tired you are till vou stop, and recuperating takes a longer time than 1 thought it would." Mr. Rockefeller closed with an admonition to the clas to keep up Its good work. The class will meet next Sunday In the Fifth Avenue Baptist Churcn.

HE LANDS IN SUBWAY DITCH Fractured Dignity Causes Him to Plead Illness for Day Cow Lays Course for Staten Island. Peter Dumser. day watchman at the Barge Office, descended the stairs of the South Ferry elevated station promptly at 7 o'clock yesterday morning and beaded for his sea wall post. At the same moment 8am Swales of New Jersey, with a piebald muley cow ln tow, hove in eight making for the Statea Island Ferry entrance.

Dumser. with the same Indifference to danger that marked hie career through the civil war. luffed up and started to cross the cow's bows. The manoeuvre enraged the spotted cow so much that she tossed her hornless head high In the air and snorted. She did It so qutekly that towllne parted and before Swale could Interfere she had projected herself at Dumser.

Dumser Is a craft of some 300 pounds1 displacement, and his propellers didn't respond readHy to the frantic signals from his pilothouse. Dumser wouldn't say where the cow struck him. but tha push he got was so vigorous and well directed that he shot headforemost Into' the Subway excavation. He had only a few feet to fall; and received no Injury more serious than a compound fracture of his dignity. He had nothing to say when he got up ex cept that he was sorry for his hat.

The cow followed up her 'punishment of Dumser with a swift voyage of exploration through Battery Park, rudely awak-erting the late sleepers among the bench lodgers.

Completing the circle, she got around to Whitehall Street and tipped over an impertinent policeman who made signnla at her with liix night 'stick.

The fact that your business has gray hair is no argument against advertising. ti There are many manufacturers who seem to feel that because their business has been estab lished for many ears, and bears a high reputation, it needs no advertising. Gray hairs are honorable and a good name is a precious thing.

Nevertheless, in these hustling and irreverent days, 1 energetic young men, who have been taught the power of advertising, have a way of taking the business from the non-advertisers, no matter how old or respected they may be. I t. The only safe way is to adver tise, whether your business be old or young. There is nothing undignified about advertising. On the contrary, it is a legitimate and necessary method of diffusr ing the news about your goods.
