Estnte-other Harsh Provisions


Estnte-other Harsh Provisions
rBy Anglo-American cable TO the Dlspatch,l
ST. PErERsBURG, December l0.-The Gov
ernment will probably promulgate the
new anti-JewIsh Jaw at the beginning Of
the coming year. One Of the most impor-
tant clauses of the new measure torbids
the selling, leasing or mortgaging 70 jews
of any real estate in any part OF the en-
pire. Hitherto such regulation has applied
ONLY to Holland. Another clause provides
that Jews will be dispossessed OF any real
estate they NAV hold. Ia the past. Jewish
merchants. after paying tho commercial
tax of the first guild for ten years,
have been allowed to purchase real
estate outside Of the limits assigned 10 the
Jewish populace. The new law cancels
this privilege and compels them to sell all
the real estate that they may have ac-
auired. Jewish artisans are also to be de-
prived Of certain rights and are to be kept
strictly within the limits assigned TO the
Jewish population. Measures will be
taken against Jews infringing the new
law and against any who may be found
abetting them

after all the family had retired
and had to be aroused 10y the
police. During the FIRE the children
of Mr.. Griffith became separated In the
crowd and the mother was hunting them up,
