JUDGE SCORES
COUNT CASSIN|
Philadelphian Answers Rus
sian Ambassador Regard
ing Massacre Of Jews
SAYS OFFICIALS ARE RESPONSIBLE

PnnadeIpnla, May zz.-u0n. mayer
Sulzberger, a distinguished member OF
the Pennsylvania judiciary, replies to
the assertions of Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador, that the troubles
in Kishenef are due to an uprising Of
peasants against the money lenders.
Judge Sulzberger says:
Count Cassini is confronted with
the fact that there have been rapes
and murders of women, horrible cruel
ty to babies and murder of unoffending
men committed. His first instinct is
to excuse the criminals and throw the
blam con the victims. A man with
that attitude OF mind is not to be
argued with. His real conviction, of
course, is that common people have no
rights, and that what happens to them
is a matter of supreme indifference,
since there are so many of them that
he can easily spare a few thousand.
II was the attitude of the French mo-
bles before the revolution, and that
it must be shared by a great many of
his fellow mobiles is proved by the
fact that while all this massacre was
occurring in Kishenef and went on
three days five Russian regiments
were quartered in the town. It is
therefore certain that the police and
military departments permitted the
massacre and are responsible for X.
Their responsibility is now assum-
ed and shared by all the people who
think with Count Cassini. AS regards
his puerile remarks, it is enough to
say:
"First-That the great bulk of the
Jews of Russia are the poorest people
in the world and have no money to
lend.
"Second-The babies do not lend
money.
"Third-That murderous criminals
are not usually borrowers.
ION the other hand there have been
known high officials living lives OF
luxury and deBauchery, who were in
need of many thousand roubles and
to whose depleted pocket the proceeds
of loot and the price of protection
might bring a new lease of revelry.
No doubt in the usual relations of
life the count is a gentleman in his
manners and practices. but. after all,
he is a Russian nobleman. If he wants
the opinion of an unprejudiced Ameri-
can commissioner let him read the re.
port made to the United States gov
ernment by Colonel Weber and Dr.
Walter Kempster, printed at the gov
i ernment printing Office in 1892. There
are in it such passages as even a Rus
sian nobleman would blush to have
submitted to the women of the United
States"

SCORES BURNED
IN AUTO WRECK
Gas Tank of Machine Blows
Up in a Crowded Thor
oughfare
ACCIDENT CAUSED BY i LEAK

New York, May pa score or
more persons were injured by the ex-
plosion Of the gasoline tank of an au-
tomobile owned by Thomas D. Dewitt,
a wholesale coal dealer All the in
jured, among whom were a policeman
and three firemen, were burned by the
shower of blazing gasoline which fol-
lowed the explosion While several
persons were taken to the hospital,
none were fatally hurt.
The automobile was in charge of a
chaffeur, who was taking it to a re-
pair shop. as the gasoline tank leaked
badly. At 47th street near Third ave-
nue. he found the machine on fire from
leakage from the gasoline tank and
brought it to a halt An alarm was
sent. and after yainly attempting to
extinguish the flames with hand
grenades the firemen turned stream
on the blazing vehicle.
BY that time 300 or 400 people had
gathered close to the machine. The
water had scarcely been turned on
when the gasoline tank exploded. The
burning fluid from the tank scattered
in all directions and those in the front
rank Of the crowd caught the full force
Of it. The scene that followed the
explosion was appalling. A score oi
men rolled on the ground and shrieked
with pain. women tainted, and the fire
for a moment was forgotten. The fire
men dropped the hose and running for
their rubber coats and blankets, ex
tinguished the burning clothing ol
many.
OF the injured about a dozen had
their burns dressed by ambulance sur
geons and at the hospitals AS many
more received attention in the neigh
boring drug stores.

lie PRlMARIEs.

With contests at their primaries the
Union Republicans polled 1879. and
without a contest the Regular Repubu-
cans polled 1.55S votes. Less than forty
per cent OF the total Republican vote
was polled at both primaries. That tells
the whole story. Out of every ten Re
publieans who voted at the November
election, six stayed away from the
primaries held 70 nominate candidates
for our municipal offices. Sixty per
cent. Of the voters of the Republican
party had not enough interest to de-
clare themselves either for or against
Addicks.
But one thing has been accomplish
ed That organization which has in
solently declared that it represented
the mass Of the voters Of this city
that it held seventy-fve per cent. of
it's unable to poll as many votes az a
primary as the Regular Republicans
1t IS evident that common primaries
We're refused by minority.
1t might be interesting TO analyze
the sentiments Of the voters who re-
mained away from both primaries. We
think they may be divided into two
classes: The good citizen" who forgot
that there was a primary. and the
citizen who never comes out unless he
is interested in a more personal way.
II we We're assured of a proper election
we should lock to see the same relative
proportions maintained at the polls but
1t isn't safe TO count upon it, The
good citizen" may fail to vote at the
election as he has at the primaries, and
the other class will go where it finds
the greatest induoement With the re-
suits Of the two primaries before us
the insolence Of the Addicks position is
evident.

Mother and the two little ones had
taken an early afternoon train to sub

ran merrily over the fresh lawn, picked
the saucy little crocus buds and the

mothers discussed fashions and club
questions. Soon they grew tired Of this
mild pleasure and planned tour of the
house. They began their explorations
at Bridgets domain, and wandered 10

age. and speaks as an expert He has
passed through the several stages Of hu-
man life and has reached a mature old
age, and he finds it the happiest per-

Jews in America.

From Life.
The total number OF Jews in the
world is estimated by the American
Jewish Year Book at about ten millions
of whom more than one-half are in
Russia. OF the remainder, about two
third are I'm the United States and Aus
tria- Hungary In all Germany, i'm spite
of its anti-Semitic agitation, there are
not as many Jaws as there are in
the city of New York alone. In the
whole British Empire there are not one
half as many
In the period since 1882 the Jewish
population Of the United States, and Of
New York, more particularly, has been
more than doubled by immigration,
chiefly from Russia, because Of the pol
icy of prescription against the Jews
then introduced i'm that country. An
other very great source of this immi-
grafton has been Austria Hungary, and
from both il is now coming in larger
volume than ever. Undoubtedly, too.
the Klshinef outrages will tend TO in

to that empire i'm the number of its
Jewish population, promises rapidly to
attain to the first place.

he was twenty-one, and of having spent

Though all the trees We're green.
