Balama Du Ghnn, at prosont a hall man tn the
Hotel St. Carlos, nt 00 South Oxford street,
Brooklyn. nM sued out a vrr"' ' habca8
I corpus, which commands Bobastlan Fabian
I no Ya'la'co. principal of the Valosco School
I of Languages, nt 283 Schermorhorn street,
I Brooklyn, to produce Catharine Du Ohan,
I tli lS-;ear old sister of Balnma Du Ohan, be
I (0Tf justice Dickey of the Supreme Court this
-TV morning. At tho same tlmo that Do Valosco
n produces tho girl ho will bo called upon to ex
W plain why he Is unwilling that Catharlno should
lee her brother or have anything to do with him.
Batsma nnd Catharlno Du Ohan are two of
I four children of Arab parents, who live In
I Jerusalem. The father Is n Naznreno. tho
I motheranatlvoofBcjrout. Flf toon years ago,
I Salama, now about 30 years old and tho eldest
I ol the children, came to this country.
I Before coming here he had been courier for
fWt EngU'h and American tourists travelling
through Palestine and other parts of Turkey In
M Ail. Aftor coming to this country he learned
I to he a photographer. Detweon bis trade and
I u lectures on the Holy Land, delivered in cos
I umo and illustrated, he managed to accumulate
B same money.
I About a year ago he returned to Jerusalem,
Jp, and early in tho summer of last year he ra-
&K'j tumed to America, bringing his two younger
mL iliters, Jennto. who Is SO years old, and Catha-
JB rlne. TllB brother and sisters landed tn New
I York on July 8 last.
Soon after landing thoy went to Ooean Orovs
sad from there to Asbury Park, whore Satama
fU engaged to lecture for the Cyclorama Com
pany. Hi' sisters assisted him In his lectures
tndsold Turkish goods and souvenirs of tho
Holj Land.
When tho season nt Asbury Park closed thoy
returned to New York. That was last Septem
ber. The sisters, through tho lato Dr. Charles
F. Hoffman, found temporary homes In a mls
ilon at 330 Broome street.
A little later, tho elder sister. Jennie, got a
place In St. Christopher's Hospital, Brooklyn,
nhere she Is now learning to bo a nurse. On De
cember 14. Catharine secured work as a house
maid in tho homo of Do Valosco, who then lived
iU18 Stato stroct.
Shortly after Catharlno went to live with Mr.
and Mrs. Do Valosco, Salama called at the houso
to see his sister. Before he left he told Do Va
luco tbat he was very glad that his young sister
had found a good homo, and he only regretted
that he couldn't be with her.
It was linally arranged that Salama should
come to board with the De Valascos. Ho remained
i hero lor about two months. Suddenly he left.
Hi says the reason he loft there was because
J. both lie Valosco and his wife objected to hit
r tven speaking to his sister.
' Since he left the house, he says, he has not
I leen allowed to see his sister or communicate
I with her in any way, although he has tried to do
m several times. From him at least, he says,
his sister has been kept a prisoner In the house
I of atrangors.
I When confronted by this stato of affairs he
I became suspicious that all was not well with his
I tiiter, and so he obtained the order compelling
I her employer to produce her in court.
L When the reporter called at the De Valasco
V house Catharine herself answered tho bell. She
li a dark-haired, dark-eyed girl, with the soft,
o lm rnmTilnxlnn that is (riven to those who are
born in the land of tho Arabs.
Her figure is graceful, and has the develop
ment of a woman of 25. Asked if Catharine Du
Ohan lived there, tho girl, in English that had
but a slightly foreign accent, replied:
"I am Catharine Du Ghan. Can I serve you V
Told that the reporter would like to talk with
her a few momenta, the girl was about to sty
something, when Sirs. De Valosco came Into the
htll and bade the girl ask the reporter in. When
Mrs. De Valasco learned what It was that the
reporter wanted, she said:
Catharine is here. She mar speak for her
self. I did not know before that any one ever
eonttdercd that sho was a prisoner here."
"Indeed. lam no prisoner," Interrupted the
rlrl. "No one could make me a prisoner. I
stay whero I will."
"Are you treated well herol" asked the re
Dorter. a "Ah. yes," was the answer. "Mr. and Mrs.
De Valasco have been very kind to me. They
bare been father and mother to me."
"Do you want to go and live with your
brother, Salama I"
The girl shuddered as she heard the aueation
and then fairly hissed:
"No! I never w ant to see him."
"Why are you so Incensed against your
trother I"
"Go ask him why. He knows. Ask him to
tell yon what happened in Asbury Park. Go
uk him."
Sal.una, when told what his sister had said,
replied that the facts would probably bo brought
out in the court.

The police of the Delancey street station are

Columbus, O., Juno 8. It now seems probable
that no punishment will be meted out to the
officials and citizens of Urbsna who Interfered
with tho operations of the militia In trying to
quell tho rioters at the recent lynching, for the
reason that the law Is said to be faulty. The
same statute that provides One and im
prisonment for officers and enlisted men
of the militia to be imposed by court
martial provides a punishment for citizens who
interfere with the mllltla, but does not specify
whether they shall bo tried by civil or militAry
court. V tbe Stato authorities cannot conduct
the investigation of tbe matter, the local offend
ers will not be punished, for the local court will
not take the matter up.

Lokdox, Juno 8. Further details havo been
received from tho special correspondent of the
Daily JVeu-i, who Is Inquiring Into the Tiraspol
(Rnssla) tragedy, In which fifteen persona, at
least, belonging to tho Itaakolnlkl, a roltglous
sect, were of tbolr own volition burled allvo or
wallod up in tho cellar of tho houso of Foodors
Kovaleff, who Is now undor arrest.
The collar Is a cava at tho base of Kovaleff's
cottage. In this place, which Is so small that It
Is marvellous bow so many persons wcro burled
there, nine bodies wero found, lying alternately
head to fcot. In ono Instance a hollow had boon
scooped In tho clay wall to make room for the
head of the victim.
Tho Governor of the prison In which Kovaleff
Is confined has elicited from tho prisoner the ln
f oi mat Ion that tho informants were mads at
night In the presence of n number of his co
religionists. The victims In every instance
donned their best garments, over which thoy
placed shrouds.
They then prostrated themselves silently and
resignedly In their graves, lying In oloso array
and always on tho tight side. They did not utter
a moan nor move hand or limb while they per
mitted Kovaleff to shovel the earth upon them.
Noteven tbe children relented In their resolu
tion or yielded to the physloal Instinct which
causes a dying person to wrestle In his death
agony, although they might have stepped out
whllo the clods were falling upon thorn, Photo
graphs of the bodies prove that they died mo
tionless. Nine persons were Immured In Kovaleff 's
cellar on Dec 23. six In Gorsln s garden on Doc,
27, six In Kovaleff 's garden. Including Vltalio,
the prophetess, and Kovaleff s mother, on Fob,
0, and four in SukhofT 's garden on Fob. 28.
Kovaleff, though his face Is of a poor typo,
bears an excellent character. Ho Is sober nnd
thrifty, gentle, affectionate, and well to do, like
all the Begunl. the branch of tho Itaakolnlkl to
which ho and the victims belonged.
Tbe correspondent records tho suspicion that
similar practices have been golngon for years In
tho more populous villago of Flotrkoe, seven
versts beyond Ternofka. The police will shortly
make a search for bodies at tbat place.

AZUMXI ROW OVER SUXDAY BALE.
Due to Prorrsaor's Plea That Laborers Had
Only Sunday rbr the Gome.
SVRACBBE. June 8. Georgo W. Peck, D, D., n
nephew of Bishop Peck, and Chairman of the
Visiting Commlttco of Syracuse University, In
his report of tho annual meeting of tho alumni
to-day, after maktng various criticisms of tho
management of affairs, said:
"At the mass meeting hold a few days ago at
the Alhambra, a bad example was sot for this
university. It was mado to be understood by
the publlo that tho university Is in favor of
Sunday basoball playing. This Is done to bring
about a compromise for Sunday religious work.
That Is placing weapons In the hands of tho
enemy. Somo of tho university faculty, nnd
Chancellor Day In particular, took a strong
stand against tbo practice."
This criticism was mado near tho end of Chair
man Peck's report, and when he sat down thcro
was a storm. Many alumni demanded tho floor
nnd shouted that tho part of the report regarding
basoball be cut out. Chairman Peck rcpeatcdlv
nrosa to mako a statement. By tho tlmo Presi
dent Tipple recognized him Mr. Peck was crim
son. Ho sold:
"I positively refuse to retract or take back
anything that I said. It Is our report and can
not be changed. As for its going out to tho pub
lic. I did not write it for tho publlo and they aro
not to have it- It Is only for this body. It is not
a glossed paper for tho press. It is a positive
paper and tolls tho truth unpolished; but you
cannot change it. You cannot recommend it."
Tho report was tabled. Chairman Peck's
criticism of the faculty is supposed to havo been
founded an tho fact that John It. Commons, who
holds tho chair of sociology, at a recent mass
meeting In opposition to Sunday baseball mado
a plea ior tho worklngmen. wno had no other
tlmo to seo the game. Prof. Commons, howover.
has never announced himself in favor of Sunday
ball. He teaches a Sunday school class at Plym
outh church.
