CONSTANTINOPLE. Turkey. April
17 ? The worst uprising of years is in
progress throughout all of Asia Minor.
From reliable sources it is learned
that more than 2.500 Christians have
been massacred at Adana and Mer
sina. The scenes attending these
massacres were horrible.
Mobs of infuriated Moslems swept
through the streets, slopping at the
houses of the Christians and calling
upon the to come out and surrender.
In most cases the Christians gave up
without resistance and were butch
ered in cold blood. Women and chil
dren were not spared. Many Women
were outraged.
In some cases the Christians die(
fighting. Many houses were burnec:
to dislodge the inmates.
Tne riots are spreading to the
smaller cities of Asia Minor and the
final death roll will be larje.
Many Europeans have been killec.
and in some cases foreign embass)
officials have been stacked.

and French war si* ips will be dis
patched to Constantinople.

liament is cxpected today.

Henry Kalem Accused Of
Slaying Wife? John Ka
lem Also Under Suspi
cion?Grime Supposedly
Committed To Obtain
$5,000 Life Insurance
(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
SEATTLE, Wash. April 17? Late
yesterday afternoon the body of Mrs.
Vandla Kalein, the wife of Henry Kal
i in. was found badly mangled near
(lie railroad tracks at Anburn, a small
town about twelve miles from Seattle.
After a thorough examination the
police were convinced that the woman
had been murdered and Henry Kalem
and her brother-in-law, John Kalem,
were promptly arrested and brought
to this city by Sheriff Hodge, charged
with the crime.
HAD MADE THREATS
I loth men protest their innocencc,
l>u* the detectives at work on the
I case are convinced of their guilt.
I Neighbors of the Kalems say that |
I Henry and ins wife were constantly
quarreling and that a few days ago
henry remarked that, ho would kill!
i'cr some day. He had a violent dis
position and was brutal when underl
the influence of drink. During the
last few days both of the Kalems
h.sve been drinking heavily.
Moth John and Henry Kaiem with
) t!;oir families were living on a small
i.mch near Auburn which they purch
ased about three weeks ago. Henry
sold his lodging house on Third ave-l
| iiue to buy the ranch.
KALEMS NEEDED MONEY
The Kalems were in financial dif
? ficulties and it is the theory of the
police that they killed the woman to
obtain the $."..000 for which her life
was insured and afterwards carried
!i' r body t.i the railroad tracks to1
make it appear that she had been
accidentally killed.
The police say Henry Kalem has
a bad record and that he was former
ly connected with a robbery of tho
Pacific Coast Steamship's safe at
Skagway.
The Kalenis formerly resided at
Skagway.
CAME TO SKAGWAY IN '97
John and Henry Kalcm came ' to
Sksgway in j897 and started a small
grocery store at Fifth and Broadway.
Tb'^y made iioney rapi.'ly and
q> f."v.il :jn.*;dotable prop ;rt <? in this
town. John Kalem sti'i owns tte
building occupied by Britt's drug atoro
and Ask's grocery.
Henry Kalem married while in this
town. His wife worked here as a
servant previous to her marriage.
Both the Kalems were hard drink
ers and were apt to be very brutal
when intoxicated. Henry In partic
ular had a violent temper, and is said
t. have frequently abused his wife.
John Kalem sold his grocery store
to C. VV. Ask almost three years ago
and moved to Seattle. He ran a but
cher shop there for some time but
was not very successful. Recent re
ports from below are to the effect
that the Kalems were hard pressed
financially ,and the domestic life of
both brothers was very unhappy.
