S. Vice Consul Kept in Prison Many Days Without Food. Salontki, Dec. 20. (By Associated Tress.) Turkey's hostility towards! relief of Armenian and Syrian refu gees during the war is strikingly illust ated by the experiences of Charles A. Dana, former executive secretary of the Armenian relief committee at Beirut and Constanti nople, and Dr. William S. Nelson, former American vice consul at Tripoli, Syria. Both were represen tatives of the Fresbyterian mission board and were thrown into jail by the Turks and kept without food or water ror many days. They have just arrived here, after a week's jour ney from Constantinople. I Thirty-two Frozen to Death. I "On November 19, 1917, after all the records and correspondence of the Presbyterian board were seized by the Turkish police at Beirut, I was imprisoned tor a week and then ordered to leave the city, without any explanation being given," Mr. Dana told the correspondent. "With my wife and child I started for Con stantinople, traveling in open cars and filthy cattle trains, exposed to the bitter weather. "At Karaman our train was stalled for three days and nights. We had no food or means with which to keep warm un a plain covered with two feet of snow and in a temperature below zero. Thirty-two persons on our train were frozen to death. "I offered $2,000 for a camel trans port to Konia, a journey of three hours. This was declined as not be ing sufficient. My wife and child have not recovered yet from the ter rible ordeal. Put in Secret Prison. "After living in Constantinople six months I was thrown into a secret prison at Stamboul with 30 criminals, some of whom were chained to the wra!ls. Neither food nor water was procurable. Afterwards I was sent to the military prison, where I was kept until September 3, my cellmates being an insane Turk and an Egyp tian spy. The mad man tried twice to cut my throat while I was asleep. "Most of the time I was without food except for a crust of black bread. Often I was denied water. Finally, I was released through the efforts of the naval attache of the German embassy, who said he knew my imprisonment was an act of re prisal to punish me for having aided persecuted Armenians. "The Turkish authorities refused to return the mission board's records or to state the grounds for my im prisonment. I intend to proceed against the Ottoman government for false imprisonment and the mis treatment I suffered." Receipts were Cattle.

In stockers and feeders there was very little doing bat fleshy and good quality steers were nominally steady and the medium and light stuff both steers and cows hard to move at prices anywhere from 2550o lower for the week.

The Commercial Bulletin tomorrow will say: "Everything In the wool trade has been subordinated to the government wool auc tions. The first sale of foreign wools showed a desire on the manufacturers part for the best fine stapled wools and also for the best medium wools, the for mer being off about 5 per cent for Aus tralian and the best medium South Amer ican wools about 10 per cent off from government Issue prices. "The second day's sale waa entirely of domestic wools. Quarter blood wools were keenly sought, but In light supply and brought about Issue prices on the average. Three-eighths staple wools were off 10 and half blood 10 and 15 from Issue prices. Fine and fine medium staple territories were off 12 to IS and fine a-' fine medium clothing woola, 15 to 20 per cent from mill Issue prlcea. Dealers bought very little. Poor woola were ne glected and withdrawals heavy. "The goods auctions have shown strength for best fabrics this week and the manufacturers are considered to be figur ing for immediate business, rather than for forward business. The foreign mar kets report little change." New York Coffee. New York. Dec. 20.

Notable strength In the corn market resulted today largely from widespread rains, which threatened further serious hindrance to the crop movement. Prices, althouch unsettled at the finish, were l'46c net higher, vTlth January, $1.39 1.39, and May, $1.36 1. 36. Oats closed c up. and provisions at an advance of 40S0c. Upward swings began In the corn market right at the opening, and there was no Important reaction until Just be fore the close. Profit-taking by lonss appeared to be wholly responsible for the late setback. Throughout the rest of the day attention focussed most of the time on the fact that country roads were be coming Impassible owing to wet weather and continued mild temperatures and that receipts, therefore, promised to re main small. Other bullish factors were the removal of milling restrictions, Hoo ver's plan to use German ships to carry food to Europe, and the refusal of li cense to Import corn from Argentina to th United States. Oat sympathized with the strength of corn. Shipping- demand, however, was slow and export bids were under a work ing basis. Provision were lifted chiefly by the bulge In grain. It waa said that on the advance packers bought ribs. Cash quotations: Corn No. 2 yellow, nominal; No. 3 yellow, nominal No. 4 yellow, $1.471.47. Oats No. 3 white, 7172c; stand ard, 72734c.

New York, Dec. 20. Metals Unchanged, FINANCIAL New York, Dec. 20 Stocks recorded their fifth successive setback of the week today, decline! being resumed after an Ir regular opening; In which a few leaden showed temporary strength, probably on shor covering. Tho additional liquidation and bearish ocKresslon were attributed to Increasing slsns of dissatisfaction more parllcularly affecting the railroads and general Indus tries. This waa exemplified by Mr. Mc- ilno's attitude towards the transporta tions and reports of fresh cancellations of war contracts and cuts In commodity prices. Yet another reason was provided by the Implied request of the treasury de partment for an Indefinite continuance of reftrlctcd money conditions, although call funds were in freer supply at as low as 3; per cent. Renewal of heavy selling of Liberty bonds on a scale approximating yester days enormous turnover with the fourth 4's at the new low quotation of $94.60 wus not calculated to allay apprehension, the first 4's Incidentally making a new low for the year at $92.90. The one encouraging note waa sounded by the sale, to a banking syndicate, of $30,000,000 Pennsylvania railroad 6 per cnt bonds and the speedy absorption of that lsf.ue at a large oversubscription. This Is the first large financial undertak ing by private bankers since the close of the war and bespeaks a sound Invest ment situation. Ralls, shippings, utilities and coppers were the chief elements of dullness, al though rallying substantially toward the close. Oils, tobaccos and a few special tics vrj relatively firm. Convertible railroad bonds and tractions eased 1 to 2 points, but Internationals were steady and more active. Total sales (par value) aggregated $20,400,000.

Most of to day's session of the senate commit tee investigating German propa ganda was taken up with tilts be tween Alfred L. Becker, assistant attorney general of New York, and Senator Reed of Missouri, who U not a member of the committee. Senator Reed, in cross-examining the New York official, who had been on the stand two days, charged that Merton E. Lewis, attorney general of New York, and Becker misused their official positions in making public information contained in af fidavits secured by them under spe cial war legislation. These affidav its referred to alleged meetings of William Randolph Hearst with Bolo Pasha, executed in France as a traitor, and former Ambassador von Bernstorff. Admits Political Motive. Mr. Becker denied the charge, saying tnat tne amaavits mane pub lic were not secured under the spe cial war legislation. He said that certain disclosures purporting to show association of Hearst and Bolo were made public "for what I frank ly admit were political purposes." He justified this course on the ground that their publication was in the public interest. The information under discussion was given to New York newspapers mainly in August, September and October when Becker was a candi date for the republican nomination for attorney general of New York and Attorney General Lewis was a candidate for republican nomination for governor against Charles S. Whitman. It appeared from the cross-examination that Hearst was considered a supporter of Whitman ...... ...... .... . V V - . .
