The AGITATION EFFECTIVE
Determined Prosecution OF Kishenefi
Assassins.
MANY PERSONS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED.
The RingIeader Of the Massacre Committed
Suicide on Learning that the Director Of
The Russian Ministry OF Justice Had Ar
rived. Commissioned by the Gar to Make
Thorough Investigation.

Berlin (By Cable) The Frankfurter
Zeitung says it learns, by way of Buch-
Arrest, Roumania, that the ringleader OF
the Kishencf atrocities, man named
Piserjewski, has committed suicide at
Kisheneff, because the director of the
Russian Ministry of Justice had arrived
there, commissioned by the Gar to
make stringent investigation into the
horrors.
The Frankfurter Zetung's cores
pondent adds that number of persons
previously discharged from arrest at
Kishenef have been rearrested and that
other persons morally responsible for
the murders have been arrested.
The Frankfurter Zeitung also says it
learns from another source that former
Governor Won Raaben has returned to
Kishenef, and is endeavoring to get the
Jewish population OF that place to unite
IN a testimonial to the effect that he be-
baved correctly during the massacres.
Washington, d. c. (SpeciaD .-Infor-
nation of an entirely reliable character
concerning the Kisheneff massacre has
reached here. From advices received it
appears that the protests which arose in
the United States and many other civil
lized countries against the murderous
attacks upon the Jews in Kisheneff last
spring has not been without practical
effect. This information states that the
Russian government has been moved to
vigorous action in the matter of investi-
eating and Furnishing those who were
responsible for the Kisheneff massacre.
Fully 300 arrests have been made, and
as a result of the preliminary cxamina-
zion $50 persons have been remanded
for trial in the lower courts Four hun
drcd and fifty cases have been sent to
the Court of Appeals, OF which SO are
indictments for manslaughter. A change
of venue having been ordered, the trials
of those accused OF numbering and hor-
ribly maltreating the Jews at Kisheneff
will occur in September at Tiraspol.
The services OF four distinguished
lawyers have been secured to assist the
prosecution in the murder cases, and
three well-known lawyers will aid in the
prosecution of the synagogue property
cases.

greater than ever, SO great that the
board of service is seeking for point
at which to apply the knife in the
process of pairing. The president of
the board called in the nineteen dis
trict poor physicians Saturday after
noon for a conference at which they
were informed that funds were ex-
hausted and that the administration
would be Iglad to, have them continue
the work of healing for nothing dur
ing the remainder Of the year for
which they have the contract. One
doctor informed the president OF the
board that the physicians get from
$50 to 5000 a year now while city Of
ficials are getting from $4,000 to
$4,000 year and many of the posi-
tions could be acceptably filed by
men of capability at $500 and If the
city wanted to retrench some of the
Ihigh-salaried men might cut their own
salaries and the doctors would meet
them with as generous cut in the
price of their services. The doctors
concluded not to give up their contract
but trust to the council to provide
the funds to pay for it up to the
middle of September when it will ex-
pire. When it comes to saving for the
city under the new code at the ex-
pense OF the men who are saving the
sick and suffering Columbus presents

which the interests of the Republican
party have been carried in the matter
of legislation.

The appeal of the trustees of the Nc.
Kinley Memorial association for $780,.
000 to be used as an endowment fund
for the Mckinley monument in Canton
should receive prompt and cordia
response. Especially should general
subscriptions be made here in Ohio
where the late president was bes
known and best loved.
The trustees now have on hand o
sum sufficient for the erection of 6
magnificent memorial. What they ask
is an additional amount, the income
from which will suffice to keep the
monument in permanent repair.
The memorial to Garfield. built II
years ago in Cleveland, is going to
ruin from neglect. There is no assured
income to save the beautiful structure
from dilapidation and decay.
The people of Ohio will hardly allow
the Mckinley memorial to suffer the
same fate. The best way to save it for
all time is to provide at once a fund
for its maintenance and repair.-Ohio

HOW JUDGE AMBLER !

omon In Philippine Breach
Of Promise Case.

A Washington dispatch has the fol-
lowing to say of Judge Amber, OF
Salem, brother of Ralph S. Amber of
Canton, who has just returned from
the islands for vacation visit with
relatives and friends:
Solomon has been out -Solomoned by
Judge Amber, an Ohio man, who
occupies a seat on the Manila bench.
He had the distinction recently Of
trying the first breach Of promise
suit on record in the Philippines. The
defendant was Hao Tao Hui, wealthy
Chinese merchant. The plaintiff was
Tomasa Reyes. prepossesslng Chi
nese mestiza. She strengthened her
case materially by submitting evidence

for whose existence she held the Chi

Hui perjured himself like a gentle
man and pleaded not guilty to the soft
impeachment.
Right here's where Judge Amblcr's
wisdom was manifest Chinese inspec-
tors in the United States are driven to
distraction because all Chinese immi-
grants look alike to them and one

Lynching, like suicide, becomes epi.
demic Readers of daily newspapers
will observe that for weeks there may
be no news of justice summarily i'm
posed until suddenly comes a horrible
story like that from Whining
ton. Then. in it's wake may
be expected dozen or more
similar outbreaks in various parts
of the country, as was the case
yesterday. A graphic portrayal of the
burning of negro at the stake stim-
ulates other communities. where an
excuse exists, to the same act and for
a time the mobs reign. 1t is a signifi-
cant fact that many Of the late lynch
ings have been in northern states.
Originally they were confined to the
southland and the north shuddeIed as
1t read their sickening details. Now
we are not surprised at an outbreak
anywhere and if the statistician is to be
believed such exhibitions OF savagery
are alarmingly on the increase.

Nssvs and Comment

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., is growing
liberal in his old age. He Is superin-
tendent of thriving Sunday school
in Cleveland. and made the interesting
announcement last Sunday that every
body was welcome. You are all well
come" he said. I'VE don't ask wheth-
er you are rich or poor, and whether
you have high station or low one.
We welcome you ALL" Very thought
full of John ID. 1t will be gratifying
intelligence to people who imagine
they can't get in to modern Sunday
school without showing a pass or invi-
tation at the door. Uncle Mark Hanna
and Tom Johnson now have no furth-
er excuse for staying outside the fold.
If they want spiritual advice from the
financial boss, they can walk right In,
help themselves, and then take some
home for the children..-Toledo Bee.

Help for the Minister.

Clergymen have some funny ex-
periences, but one whose ministrations
are confined to the residents of rural
district in Yorkshire. England, thinks
his was the funniest of all. He was
an Episcopal minister, a new conner In
a country parish. Hearing that one
of his Pensioners was very sick he
called at the house, was invited into
the patients room, and, at the re-
quest of the sick man, knelt down
with the members of the family, to
offer prayer. He prayed very fervent-
ly--so fervently, in fact, that pretty
soon he had to pause and take breath
While waiting he felt violent poke
in his ribs, and, half turning his head,
discovered black bottle, which was
being held out to him by one of the
kneeling women. Here take a sup"
whispered the profferer of the bottle
It'll help tha through" The minister
declined the Sup" with a shake Of
his head and went on with his prayer
But he had hard work to finish it
quietly and decorously, being endowed
with sense of humor which enabled
him only to see the funny side of the
situation.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Deterioration In Cities.

A great many men who have come
to cities. after living in the country
for years, wonder at their general de-
terioration, physically and mentally.
They are not conscious of any lack Of
effort to live straight, clean lives, but
the unnatural conditions of cities have
been slowly undermining their charac-
ter, physical stamina, and mental fiber,
and there is general letting-down Of
standards. Some ncident-perhaps
meeting fresh, unspoiled friend from
the old home.-makes them realize
that something has gone out of their
lives, something practically helpful
and inspiring. Innocence has been
traded for knowing worldliness, frank
ness for deceptive policy, kindness for
cringing subservience, and charity and
helpfuiness for brutal indifference. -

Aerial Navigation Possible.

The subject of aerial navigation is

whose solution may be expected In

however, further agree that the solu-

Honesty In Politics.

Such men as Theodore Roosevelt and
Joseph w. Folk prove that honesty is
the best policy in politics, as well as
in every other activity. Mr.. Roosevelt
has done whatever his intelligence and
conscience have told him he should do.
He has discorded all the time-serving
tricks of the shrewd politician. In
consequence he is the best esteemed
and most respected man in American
public life. He is certain of nomina-
tion by his party, and equally sure Of
election by the people. Mr.. Folk has
accomplished in more limited sphere
the same result as Mr.. Roosevelt. He
did his duty as the law enioined it.
He upset the traditions of his party
organization by mere fact Of observ-
ing his oath of Office. He brought ruin
and dismay to those who had prohted
by corruption. as we'll as those who
had actually practiced it.-Kansas City
Star.
