Mr.. Jerome counseled peace, but his
advice was not taken, as a Tremendous

synagogue was wrecked. At one time
two score men We're lighting all over

A great crowd gathered In the street

police elected everybody from the syna-

will retain until the dispute Is settled
in the courts.
The congregation purchased the prop

payment, They shortly afterward
claimed the building extended upon an
other property and refused TO complete
payment until the tangle was straight
ened. The matter was taken into the
courts. The owner finally barred out

SERIOUS RIOTS
NEAR LOUVAIN.

Brussels April 20.--At general
council Of the labor party held here
today Il was resolved that work by the
strikers in all sections should be re-
sumed. The council issued a manifesto
to the worklngmen to this effect this
afternoon.
y The anticipated announcement by the
crowd of the dissolution has not yet
been made.
The papers here contain vivid de-
scriptons Of the riots which occurred
at Louvain, near here, last Friday.
The mob which was returning from
the station after meeting the socialist
deputies from Brussels divided into two
bands, one making for the residence Of
the president Of the chamber, NJ. Schol-
laert, and the other for that OF the
minister OF the interior, NJ de Troose.
The first mentioned mob was led by a
man Of gigantic stature. fiourlshing a
butcher knife, After breaking through
the ranks of one squad Of the civic
guard, the mob found its way blocked
IN q narrow lane by another squad OF
the same organization. An officer Of
the guard ran forward and called upon
the mob 10 halt, shouting that other
wise he would order his men 10 hire a
yolley on them.
The rioters disregarded this order.
The officer was about TO give the
command TO fire, when the gigantic
leader Of the rioters leaped forward
and seized the officers throat with his
big hands. He pinned him against a
wall and leveled a pistol at his head.
Another officer yelled the order 20 fire
and plunged q bayonet into the giants
breast The foremost OF the rioters
grasped in their bare hands the bayo-
nets OF the guards leveled rifles. The
volley rang out and in the narrow lane
the mob was riddled with bullets. Sew
eral were killed. The remainder OF the
rioters broke and fed
In the meantime the other band OF
rioters had a similar but less tragic
experience. In a collision between the
rioters and the guards, drummer Of
the latter broke from the ranks and
Joined the mob, shouting to them tc
have no fear, as the guards were only
supplied with blank cartridges. Yell
ing, the mob rushed on. II was met
by volley from the guards Two OF
the rioters were killed and many were
wounded.
Today the dead are lying In the Nal
son des Proletalres. which has been
converted into'a mortuary chapel by
drapIngs, candles and crucifxes.

Half OF them were business houses and
