Ex- Governor of Missouri Accuses Him
of "Ienorance and Poor Judgement.
St Louis, Mo-. May 25.-In letter
addressed to Ex-Governor Lon Stevens,
w. J.. Bryan stated unequivocally that
he refused to deliver an address in JEFF
ferson City because Mr.. Stevens, whose
guest he was to have been, had in
dorsed d. r. Francis as available for
the presidential candidacy. Bryan
charges that talk of ex-President
Cleveland as a suitable candidate is
merely cloak to hide the Francis
boom and then proceeds to read Mr..
Stevens out of the democratic party.
Replying to Mr.. Bryan Mr.. Stevens
says In part:

claim that I have gone bag and bag
gage over to the reorganizers because
of my Endorsement of d. r. Francis.
have the same right to claim that you
on account of your Endorsement of
William j. Stone for the presidential
nomination., have gone bag and bag

him for the presidency just at this time,
when he figures so conspicuously in the
Doodle developments in st. Louis and
Jefferson City, you have fallen many
notches in the estimation of the intel
ligent democrats of Missouri. Nobody
thinks you trust lobbiest or unclean

ignorance and poor judgement as we'll

Burial of Victims Described.

Syracuse, N. Y. May 25.-L. L. Hur-
witz of 934 Grape street has received a
letter from his father, l.. HurwitZ, who
lives in Kishene, Russia, describing the
burial of the massacre victims After
giving a long list of those buried from
the hospital in one day, he says:
I'VE We're afraid we would have to
cut open the bodies before we buried
them, but we were allowed to bury them
with their clothes on. They were all
laid in one long row. Four thousand
people with uncovered heads passed in
line to look at the bodies to see If they
could identify them. The noses of
some had been cut off and some were
so disfigured that it was almost i'm
possible to tell them by their features,
others had their eyes put out. The
stores here, all the Jewish stores, and
some others, are closed for twelve days

Two car loads of bread and meat

charge that the plaintiff had In tact
set fire to his own property on this
occasion. and a new trial should have
been granted for this reason also. Re-
sistance of the policy was on the
ground of fraud.
The Iowa supreme court seldom
grants a rehearing, but there are a few
notable exceptions. The attorneys in
the big Russ Hansen litigation inyolv-
ing the Lund land frauds in kossuth
county tried hard for a rehearing and
pleaded eloquently but the court turned
them down cold. In the Brady case
from this county, in which prosecut-
ing attorneys nil over the state were
interested because a general principle
of criminal law was involved. rehear-
ing was granted and second decision
is expected almost any time IN the
case. The other day the court granted
a rehearing in the case of Zenas w.
John, of West Liberty, convicted OF
perjury. This case is interesting as
nearly paralleling that of Mrs. Gal
laugher. of Iowa City. John was ac-
Quilted of murder and then convicted
of perjury. His attorneys claim that
much of the evidence on the perjury
trial was on the murder question and
had no place in the perjury trial; that,
in short, John was put on trial osten-
sibly for perjury and convicted of mur-
der. This is the line of defense for
Mrs. Gallaugher The only other re-
hearing granted the present term by
the supreme court is in the case OF
Ball VS.. Marquis, from Warren coun-
ty, and this is notable from the fact
that after the attorneys gave 1t up, one
of the defendants personally made a
deep study of the principles involved
and prepared an exhaustive treatise on
the question of "preponderance of evil
dence" as applied to this case, and on
this brief, not prepared by lawyer, SO
it is stated, the court has decided upon
reopening the case for further investi-
cation. The case is interesting in con-
trast to the Hardin county case In
which a client lost many thousand dol
lars by the carelessness and oversight
Of the best attorneys in the state.

puIsion.

puiSion.
st. Petersburg. May 25.-In well-in-
formed circles the belief is current that
the government aims at the complete
repatriation of the Jews and that the
massacre at Kishinev will stimulate
such emigration. The government, ma
turally, is expected to disavow any such
intention, but the attitude assumed by
Nationalist papers gives strong color
to the theory. A startling instance is
seen in the support accorded NJ. Kron-
shaven, the editor Of the Bessaraytz,
the anti-Semitic paper of Kishinev.
Writing after the massacre. NJ. Kron-
shaven addressed the Jews as follows:
Become Christians and our brothers
and enjoy all the privileges of Russian
citizenship. If not. you have one year
to go where you please. After that
term has expired there must not remain
a single Jew in Russia unless he is
Chrstianized, and thereafter entrance
to Russia will be forbidden to the Jews
forever"
NJ. Kronshaven's defenders include.
besides the Novoe Vremya and other
Nationalist papers. the director of the
department of police, NJ. Lopoukhen,
who upon returning from kishnev told
a leading Liberal journalist that Kron
shaven was the only man in Russia
who had not been bought by the
Jews
News has reached here privately from
Warsaw that on May 5 the working
men there unfurled red flags, shouted
'Down with the autocracy!" and sang
revolutionary songs. A thousand men
participated actively and many more
passively in this demonstration. The
affair was suppressed by the Cossacks
and police.

who are caught shooting craps in back

"The fact that the gambling Is in thu

respectable. The authorities are as
