Gomel, Government of Mohilev, Rus
STA, Monday, Sept. 21.-The Associated
Press correspondent has made an in
vestiCation on the spot of the "Poc-
rom" as the Russians describe the
anti-Semite riots, which occurred here,
Sept. II, and were renewed for several
days. The riots were smaller. but ner
haps more remarkable than those
which took place at Kishineff, because
the police and military openly sided
with the plunderers and murderers.
the "Pogromshiks'' as the Russians
call them. The troops. supported by
many educated and well-to-do Chris
tians, formed a movable shield behind
which the "Pogromshiks'' ruthlesslv
demolished the Jewish homes and
shops and cruelty dubbed such Jews
as fell into their hands, lesurely pro-
ceeding from street to street and dis
trict to district as they did so.
Jews who tried to cross their lines
to rescue their co-religionists We're
brutally dubbed with the soldiers
guns, bayonetted or arrested.
The anti-Semite plunderers proceed
ed from street to street, the troops and
police following them and cutting off
access to the devastated Jewish
houses. They subsequently visited
the Jewish quarter called america y
then Konnaya square, the upper end
of the principal thoroughfare of the
town and the district called "Caucas-
sus." Altogether nearly 400 houses and
shops We're wholly or partially
wrecked. the windows smashed, the
blinds and frames being splintered
and every scrap of furniture and eff
fects destroyed or stolen. The Jews
who did not take refuge with compass
sionate Christians or conceal them
selves in cellars were severely beaten
and in many cases dangerously wound
ed.
The Jews rallied in force at Konnaya
square at O'Clock in the afternoon,
when the military fired on them, kill
| ing three and Wounding others. Pre-
sumahly in the governors instructions,
| the military employed their fire arms
against pogromshiks in the eau

| nightfan put an end to the rogrom.
Four hundred peasants arrived in
Gomel early, the following day (Tues-

THE FARMERS CONGRESS,
Wednesdays Discussions on Important
Subiects-Postal Extension Favored.

Niagara Falls. N. Y, Sept. 23.-The
Farmers National congress, today
considered several questions affecting
the distributive side of agriculture.
Most of the time of the congress will
be given to the distributive problems.
as the farmers consider that national
assistance should now be invoked to
aid American farmers in finding Il
market, rather than helping them grow
products. James Wood of Mount kis-
leo, N. Y, delivered an address on
How We Can Enlarge Our Foreign
Markets for Farm Products
To help a bigger market, he said, an
increased merchant marine should be
held, and by following these lines
American farm products will find for
eign markets easily.
Aaron Jones, master of the National
Grange, addressed the congress on
1.-The Extension Facilities of Our Mail
System" He favored the immediate
expansion of rural free delivery and the
readjustments of the parcel post sys-
tenn. Mr. Jones also advocated a gov
eminent telegraph and telephone ser
vice. An extended debate followed.
In the afternoon, DR.. D. f. Salmon of
Washington, delivered a paper on In
fectious and Contagious Diseases of
Farm Animals and Their Effect on
American Agriculture.
The committee on resolutions killed
in committee all resolutions of a radi-
cal nature, and will allow only such
resolutions as are of conservative ma
ture to come before the congress.
Among the resolutions favored by the
committee is one advocating the ampli-
ficaton of the rural free delivery sys-
tenn and the expansion of the parcel
post system by means of lower rates
and by allowing packages of greater
bulk to be sent.
