ceived notices that unless they at once pay over large sums
of money to an Armenian blackmailing society, they will
meet with the same fate as the rug dealer killed last week.

lessness among the Armenians and t hat all efforts so far put
forth by the department have proven | unsuccessful on ac
count of the fact that the Armenians who know who the
assassins are will not divulge their names for fear they will
suffer assassination. In the Armenian quarter of the city
no women or children of the better class appear on the
streets as it is considered that they are unsafe.

US CHARTER IN ALABAMA
(Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan)
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 3? The
license under which the charter of the
Southern railroad was obtained in this
state has b>ea rsvoked. The revoc
ation was brought about under the Fed
eral l?w which provides that where a
railroad has been sued and removes its
ease from the state court to the federal
courts such action makes revocation
proper. The case grew out of a 9uit
iuvolvingr the "Jim Crow" law. The
effect of the revocation will cause com
plication, as the corporation is now an
outlaw and has no standing in the courts
of the state of Alabama.
