Here, then, is the truth about Kisch-

The anti-Jewish troubles at Kish-

cruelty and brutality all the anti-Jew-
ish disturbances which have occurred
in Russia during the nineteenth cen
tury The following are some of the
facts which the Russian government
will never be able to dsprove:
"On April 10, the first day OF the
Russian Easter and toward midday a
band of street urchins, under the lead

Jewish houses in the square called

the ruffians, but did nothing to punish

cries of Catch the Jews

the workmen, small merchants, arti-

civil servants in uniform. Most of the
crowd wore red shirts. The leaders
were two representatives of the pro-
fessional class named Possargewski
and Semigradow.
Early in the afternoon the crowd
dispersed, small parties going in diff
ferent directions. Then terrible pill
lage began. Armed with bludgeons,
axes and bars of, iron, the wreckers
battered the doors Of the Jewish
houses and shops. Furniture was
smashed, bedding destroyed and ner
chGndise carried off. Nearly all the
robbers attired themselves anew on
the spot with clothes stolen from the
houses.
Things that could not be destroyed
or carried away were soaked with
petroleum and burned.

atrocities began. 1t reads as follows:

movement is contemplated to attack
the Jews in kschneff The minister
of the interior 1esires that the COVER
nor should try, if possible. to prevent
this However, the governor Is re-
quested not to use force against any
attacking party"
The dispatch conveying this infor-
nation from Rome adds that this com.
muuication is practically an order to
the governor of Kischineff restraining
him from interfering in the massa-
cres and it is evident that the dura-
tion Of the attacks for three consecu-
tive lays was not the fault of the gov
ernor of Kischineff but a compliance
with orders which he could not ignore.
This is further illustrated by the fact
that IN the third day he received or.
ders from st. Petersburg to quell the
riots
Further advices are to the effect
that publication of the Voschod of St.
Petersburg has been discontinued and
its Offices closed by the authorities,
because it had the temerity to pub
lsh the details of the Kischineff out.
RACES This suppression is taken to
be iutanded as a warning to the nine
lbera. newspapers of Russia that the
publication of such matters will not
be countenanced. The only newspa.
,pers which are permitted to discuss
the matter in their columns are such
anti Semitic journals as describe the
atrocities in a manner almost justify
ing them. Some of these journals de-
clare openly that the attacks upon the
Jews do not constitute a crime. The
Sviet says in an editorial:
"The Jews have brought these
atrocities upon themselves, inasmuch
as they are really the oppressors of
the Russians instead of the Russians
being heir oppressors.'

ditions say that the Russian govern

ing tortured, received similar treat

floors to be thrown from the windows
to the ground.
The police not only did not protect
the Jews, but guided the mob to the
Jewish houses, because in several
cases Christian houses had been at
tackled by mistake.
Toward evening the barbarism
reached its apogee. The robbers cut
the throats of few Jews and soaked
pieces of linen in the blood. This
crimsoned linen was then attached to
canes to make flags. Other brigands
ripped men open and stuffed the
corpses with feather bedding.
Another party made specially of
crucifying the Jews, driving large
nails through their feet and hands.
The merchant Galauter defended his

his eyes and tongue.
"A well-known Jewess sought to de-
fend herself by throwing hot water on
her assailants, but was dragged into
the street with her child, and both
were bludgeoned to death.
These scenes lasted until midnight,
when few hours of quietness fol-
lowed. On Monday morning, the city
being dominated by strong patrols of
soldiers, Jewish deputation visited
the governor to demand efficacious
measures for protection, but that Of
fetal replied nonchalantly that he
could do nothing, as he had not re-
ceived instruction from st. Peters
burg. The deputation wanted to re-
main in the courtyard of the COVER
nor's residence, but the governor Or
dered them driven out. Then the mob,
encouraged by the governors attitude,
resumed the work of pillage and
slaughter.
What did the soldiers and police
do?
In Gastinaio street an officer met
the robbers, laden with loot from the
Jewish shops, told them to drop their
booty and rifle Jewish shop nearby.
The police showed the mob those Jew
ish shops whose owners had escaped
by displaying Christian images in the
windows. The Jewish inmates of
these houses were crucified, while the
soldiers and police formed circles in
which Jews were battered to death.

lice took large share in the pillage.
Two under officers tortured a Jewess

murdered her afterward.
And the great public society, what
is it doing? Society promenaded or
drove through the city to gaze at the
interesting spectacle, and many of the
Russian aristocracy melted the mob.
