PROTEST AGAINST
HEBREW MASSACRE

Baltimore, May 19-Thre thousand
emy of Music Sunday afternoon in be-
half of the victims of the anti-Jewish
outrages in Russia. 1t was participated
in by many leading citizens of the
state and city, and several thousand
dollars were subscribed.
The meeting was presided over by
DR.. Fabian Franklin, editor OF the
Evening News, and among the speak
erS were Ex-Governor White, eX-COn-
gresham Findlay. Mayor Hayes and
others. Letters of sympathy were from
Governor Smith. United States Senator
McComas, Attorney General Raynor
and leading clergymen, all expressing
their horror over the massacre at Kish-
ineff and urging that the United States
use its good offices to bring an end to
it. Dr. Daniel c. Gilman, president of
the Carnegie Institute, declared that
similar meetings should be held in all
parts of the United States to the end
that the public opinion of the country
should compel Russia to adopt hu-
name policy.
Among the letters was the following
from Cardinal Gibbons:
Il regret that my enforced absence
from the city May 18th will prevent
my presence at the meeting you have
called to give voice to your horror at
the events that have recently taken
place at kishineff. l have no hesita-
ton, however, to express my deep alb
horrence at the massacres that have
carried to their graves gray haired and
innocent childhood. Our sense of JUS
tice revolts at the thought of persecu-
tion for religions sake, but when the
persecution is attended with murder
and pillage the brain reels and the
heart sickens. and righteous indigna-
ton is aroused at the enormity of such
a crime. What a blot upon our civiliza-
ton is this slaughter of inoffensive
men. women and children. Please con-
vey to the gentlemen my grief for the
dead. for those made helpless by the
murder of their protectors and my sin
cere hope that this twentieth century
will see the end of all such occurrences
and that peace, good will and brotherly
love may prevail on earth"

Golden Brewery Closed.

Denver. May 19.-The employees at
Coors' brewery did not go to work
yesterday morning owing to the order
issued by the Denver strike committee
calling out all members of the Brew
ers' Union The Golden brewers are
members of the Denver organization,
and although having no grievance
themselves. they were forced out in
sympathy with the strike movement.
The engineers at that plant were at
work, and kept the ice machines in op-
Grafton to save the large stock of beer
on hand. Mr.. Coors is in Europe, and
is not expected home before the 1st of
July. 1t is not thought there will be
any attempt to operate the plant with
nOn-uniOn men.
The Golden Pressed Fire Brick Com
pany has received orders not to shin
brick to Denver until the strike is set
tied, and consequently about thirty
employees were laid off yesterday morn
ing. 1t is now estimated that there are
about 100 men in Golden thrown out of
work on account Of the Denver strike

RUSSIAN APOLOGY
FOR JEW BATTING

Washington. May 1S.-Count' Cassi-
NJ, Russian ambassador, in a conversa
ton to-day. relative to the Jewish
Jewish troubles in Russia, said:
There is in Russia, as in Germany
and Austria, a feeling against certain
of the Jews. The reason for this I'M
friendly attitude is found in the fact
that the Jews will not work in the field
or engage in agriculture. They prefer
to be money lenders. Give a Jew a
couple of dollars and be becomes a
banker and money broker. In this ca
pacity he takes advantage of the Rus
sian peasant. whom he soon has in his
power, and ultimately destroys. 1t is
when the patience of the peasant is eX-
hausted that a conflict between peas
ants and Jews occurs. Ordinarily the
Russian is a very patient person, but
it is only natural that he should en-
tertain such a feeling of resentment
for the one who has wrought his ruin
Emperor Nicholas |. sought to help
the Jew By ordering the establishment
of agricultural colonies in southern
Russia, hoping to induce the Jews to
engage in agricultural pursuits, instead
OF money lending, but the effort was
unsuccessful; nor have other projects
establishing Jewish estates been sue
cesSful.
The situation in Russia so far as
the Jews are concerned, is this: 1t is
the peasant against the money-lender.
and not the Russians against the Jews.
There is no feeling against the Jew in
Russia because of religion. 1t is as |
have said-the Jew ruins the peasants.
with the result that conflicts occur
when the latter have lost all their
worldly possessions and have nothing
to live upon.
There are many good Jews in Rus
sla. and they are respected Jewish
genius is appreciated in Russia and
the Jewish artist is honored Jews also
appear in the financial world in Rus

THE BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY
TRAINMEN MEETS in DENVER

The first business session of the meet
ing was formally opened by Grand
Master Morrissey at o'clock. Grand
Secretary King read the call. Besides
the regular delegates a large number
of alternates and visiting trainmen
were present. With these were seen
many representatives of the Ladies
Auxiliary. This organization, which is
already represented by over 800 dele
gates, has established quarters at the
ST. James hotel. The ladies held re-
ception during tie afternoon. They
will be rendered an elaborate entertain
ment by the local organization shortly.
1t is now thought that the conven-
ton will last twenty days, but the pro-
gram of dinners and receptions has not
yet been decided upon, owing to the
uncertain conditions caused by the
strike.
Both the men and women of the con-
vention say that they will patronize
union help wherever possible. and their
conscientiousness in this regard is apt
to delay the series of amusements, but
especially the dinners that were
planned to be given this week.

Court of Appeals Decisions.

In affirming the decision of the Ar
apahoe District Court. the Court of
Appeals May l1th decided that David
How and those associated with him
are entitled to the lease of section of
school land in the Florence oil dis
trict. Possession was disputed by the
Florence Oil and Refining Company.
The company based its claim on a
lease that was issued in March, 1894,
to w. II. Davis, who transferred it to
the company. After boring four wells
and failing to find oil or gas. the COM
pany, it was alleged, abandoned fur
ther prospecting. In July. 1900, the
lease was ordered Cancelled by the
State Land Board. An application for
a reinstatement of the lease was made
by the company. One month previous
How had applied for a lease on the
ground, and his request was granted.
Justice Gunter write the opinion of the
court, and held that an abandonment
of work gave the State Land Board
the right to cancel the lease.
Another opinion by Justice Gunter
gives A. w. Rucker the right to trial
of his suit against the Omaha and
Grant Smelling and Refining Company.
The judgment of the lower court is
reversed and the parties given leave
to amend their pleadngs as they may
be advised. This case is based on the
allegation that attachments issued at
the instance of the company caused
the loss Of money to the plaintiff by
preventing advantageous sales of the
property involved. The attachments
were issued on the ground that ore
sold the company was found to be the
property of others, the late H. A. w.
Tabor being one of these. In the low
er court the company obtained judg-
ment by knocking out the two causes

Military Poll Tax.

Steps to enforce the collection of the
military poll tax will be taken immedi-
ately by Adjt. Gen. Sherman Bell, who
BayS that the military fund should re-
ceive $4,000, instead of the paltry sum
that is regularly turned over to the
state treasurer. If necessary, the adju-
tant general will invoke the law
against county treasurers who fail to
collect the tax.
Within few days every county
treasurer will be notified by the adju-
tant general that he is expected to col
lect 81 for the military fund from ev-
cry able-bodied man in the state of
military age and not exempt. The law
bearing on the question will be quoted
and the treasurers informed that they
must do their duty or suffer the con-
sequences.
Under the law governing the poll tax
all of the money should be paid by
March 1st. County treasurers are
charged with the duty of collecting the
tax. If they find it impossiblee it is
their duty to certify lists of delin-
fuents to the county attorney. who
must sue for fine and the tax.
Politics have been allowed to inter
fere in the collection of the tax said
the adjutant general yesterday. THAT
is not right, for it has left the military
department of the state without suffi-
cicnt money | am determined that the
tax shall be collected from every man
who is liable, and will see that it is
paid. This is the duty imposed upon
me by the law"
The law provides that the adjutant
general may proceed to attend to the
collection himself, if he finds that the
county treasurers are not doing their
duty. General Bell says he will GER
sainly take this step if there is no other
way in which the state is given proper
treatment by the county officials
number of exemptions are made by
the law. Judges and clerks of court
are exempt. as are members of fire and
police departments. Persons of a re-
ligious belief that prohibits military
service are exempt. Physical disability
eXempts, as does five years of service
In the national guard. Hospital at
taches and physicians and railroad con-
ductors and engineers are not required
to pay.

Indian Boy Kills Bear.

H. H. and Will Titus came down
from Lawrence Sunday afternoon.
They report having a first rate good
time and fair luck hunting ducks and
cartridges. Fl. H. Titus tells US that
the ffteen-year old son of Charlie
Razor, an Indian lad, on Saturday
evening killed a bear with a shot gun
loaded with No. 6 shot. Titus and
companions were out a mile east of
Lawrence hunting partridge; the brush
was so thick they wree not having
much luck, so they gave this Indian
boy some loaded shells to hunt for
them. He started out and soon found
the trail of bear. which he followed
to it's den and killed it with shells
loaded for partridge. They brought
home some bear meat with them and
tried to buy the BEARS skin, but the
boy would not part with it. He was
a big Indian.--Mora Times (Oct. 29.)

Russia's Commercial Failure in Orient.

An Odessa dispatch to the London
Standard reports that a conference of
Siberian merchants and traders was
recently held at Tomsk, Siberia, with
the object of developing Russian
commerce with China. The meeting
arrived at unsatisfactory conclusions,
the bulk of the evidence adduced prov
ing that in the existing circumstance
it is practically impossible for Rus
sian products and manufacturers to
compete successfully in China against
those of western Europe and the
United States.
The administration of the Siberian
railroad has declared it impossible
without a ruinous loss of revenue, to
greatly reduce the freight rates.
1t is reported from Askhabud, capt.
tai of Russian Trans-Caspian terri
toy, that 100000 acres of cotton,
wheat, barley and vegetables in that
district have been destroyed by locust.

Tribute to the Cow.

At a Shorthorn sale in Springfield,
Col. F. NJ. Woods, the noted auction
eer, delivered the following eulogy on
the COW. The production is consid-
cred a masterpiece which should be
handed to future generations:
"Grand and noble brute! Of all the
animal friends of man she is the great
est! TO her we owe the most Exam
inc into all the different channels OF
commerce into which she enters and
note the result should she be blotted
out. A Sunday stiffness would then
pervade the great stockyard industries
Of our large cities and grass would
grow in our streets. Fifty per cent at
least, of the freights that now pillow the
continent from ocean to ocean would
be sidetracked for then there would be
nothing for them to do. Fifty per
cent of the laborers would draw no
pay on Saturday night. Our tables
would be bare of the greatest luxuries
with which they are now covered.
Oh! you would abuse COW, I wish
that I, as you are about to sit down
to the MONDAY meal might slip up
and remove from your table what the
COW has placed thereon. I'd take the
cup Of milk waiting baby's chair;
I'd take the cream, the cheese, the but
ter, the custard pie, the cream Biscuit,
tie steak, the smoking roast of beef,
and leave you to make meal of pc.
tatoes, bects, pickles and toothpicks.
''It's the self same COW that made the
great western plains to blossom like
the rose and were it not for her they
would revert to the Indians from
whence they came.

"None others like the COW! There is
not thing from nose to tail but that
isutilized for the use of man. We use
her horns to comb our hair, her skin
upon our feet, here hoofs make glue,
her tail makes soup, she gives us our
milk, our cream our cheese and butter,
and her flesh is the great meat of our
nation; her blood is used to make our
sugar white, her bones are ground to
fertiilze our soils, and even her
paunch she herself has put through

Temperance in Australia. .

Temperance and prohibition bulk
largely in the latest New Zealand
papers. Mahuta, the third and last
of the Maori kings, who recently re-
nounced his sovereignty and accept
ed seat in the upper house, has pub
licly taken the pledge by way of en-
couraging native chiefs to go and do
likewise. In the districts around
Dunedin, the Caledonian center and
the commercial capital of the colony,
some scores of public houses have
ceased to exist as much through the
operation of the local option poll that
accompanied the recent general cleo
ton. AS this was the biggest COM
pulsory closure of public houses in
New Zealand history some of the lead
ing dailies sent down special CORES
pondents to report and describe antic-
ipated "scenes. But editorial FORE
sight was at fault in this instance.
There were no scenes worthy of the
attention of a picturesque reporter,
probably because there was no liquor
available as a motive power. The no.
tells had timed their supplies to last
just up to compulsory closing day.
Many private houses in these districts
are now private hotels, we'll supplied
