FAMOUS TRIAL
Arrest of Rich Widow at Queenstown
Likely to Lead to Sensation.

London, May 2o.-The arrest Of Mrs.
Cunning S. Bedford, jr., on board the UNI
brla at Queenstown on Saturday night
promises to provide one of the most sem
sational trials heard in English courts for
many years. The charge which is formal
ly preferred against her is that h did
unlawfully cause r. G. Cowie, registrar of
births and deaths, to make on December
is, at 16 Upper Woburn place, London, an
alleged false entry of the birth of a fe-
male child"
Particulars OF the case were sworn to at
Bow street court on Friday by two rela-
tives of the late Mr.. Bedford, who allege
that no child was born at the address
given at any time in the last three years
and that the child now represented by
Mrs. Bedford as hers was really born at
Paris and brought to London for the pur-
pose of registration.
At this time MI. Bedford was dying Of
consumption at Paris and he succumbed
two months later, leaving a large sum-,
estimated at $500, 600 to his wife and child.
Relatives claim that Mr.. Bedford was led
to believe that the child was his in order
that the woman might obtain control of
his entire fortune.

Lander, Wyo., May N.-The details of
| terrific struggle that took place near
Dubois last Sunday morning between
Ranchmen Sercoff and a huge mountain
ion were received here today. =
Sercoff had left home early in the day
ookfng for mineral deposits, and during
lis tramp in the mountains he came upon

very large animal a left the place but
/ short time previous to his arrival, prob

Indicating that a number Of kittens were

BACK TO PALESTINE.
israel Zanswill Declares Zionist Move
ment Alone Will Ever Afford
Them Ralief.

London, May 19.-At a meeting OF
Jews held Saturday evening under the
auspices Of the English Zionist fedora
ton, Israel Zangwill, the author, Sec
pnded a resolution declaring that the
establishment Of a home in Palestine
was the only practical solution of the
Jewish question.
Mr.. Zangwill, in the urse of his re-
marks said Presidents Roosevelt's re-
monstrances with Roumanta was an
example for all Christendom, and re-
cited details of horrors that had occur
red at Kesheneff, Bessarabia.
He declared that uniformed state
eunctionaries mingled with the mob at
the opening Of their meetings., and that
police nj soldiers participated in the
pillage.
The governor, he declared, had or
dered a Jewish deputation which had
waited upon him for the purpose Of de-
manding protection to be driven from
the courtyard, and that many so-called
fashionable people drove in their car
riages to see the fun.
HI resolution was carried.

UNCLE SAN CAN'T HELP
This Government Is mot Able to Inter.
fere to Protect Jews in Russia
From CrueIties,

Washington, May 19.-Marked copies
of Jewish newspapers and personal
representations are pouring in upon the
state department, all relating to the
reported killing and maltreatment of
Jews in Bessarabia. Some at least OF
these show a misunderstanding of the
%Ttuation and Of the limitations OF the
powers Of the state department in deal
ing with the matter.
Ambassador Mccormick has been
criticised for denying that any mas
yacre occurred.
1t is said at the department the am
bassador made no statement of his
,wn on the subject. He simply trans
nttted textually the reply of the Rus
Jian government to a request made by
The United States that relief funds be
admitted for distribution among the
IufYerers. The Russian governments
reply as published at the time, was that
here was no such suffering as reported
Ind no occasion for relief. Mr.. Nc
cormick could not question the veracity
u his official informaitno, and sent the
lenial along without comment, dis
inctly placing it upon the Russian
government.
The state department feels it can do
40 more Ia it has done in the cause
If the oppressed Jews.
1t has not learned officially that a.
Jingle one OIL IQeH1 Is an American GU
zen, so 1t has no warrant for interior
.nce. There Is no parallel between the
Eases of Jews in Roumania and those
n Russia. In the first case 1t is said
1t the department the United States
lad ground for Intervention because
The Roumanian governments action
was injuring the United States by
Jumping a horde of undesirable emf
grants upon our shores. 1t was no
asserted this reault follows the Rus
sian act, which, more over, 1t is pointed
sut is not official.
1t is precisely as IL Count Cnssini
should present himself to Secretary
Hay and In the name Of his govern
nent protest against the reported
ynchings Of negroes by mobs in this
country, which probably would result
IN a polite intimation to the ambassa-
Tor that he was going beyond the linn
It's of his proper business. That is the
state of the case officially, but it may
be added that the limited action taken
by the United States has served the
purpose to make known to the Russian
government that the great moral in
auence of the United States Is directed
Toward securing the amelioriation Of
conditions Of Jews in Russia.

MAY POSSIBLY INTERFERE,
New Position Taken by Russia Possibi,
Will Open a Diplomatic Channel.

Washington, May 20.-None Of many
resolutions relative to the Kischeneff
outbreak adopted yesterday at various
places in the United States. has reach
ed the state department and officials
have nothing new before them upon
which to proceed.
1t Is not known whether further in
structions la been sent to our en-
bassy at St. Petersburg
So far the department has before It
only newspaper clippings describing the
Ktscheneff massacre. and 1t scarcely
feels authorized to move upon that
basis, even If 1t had power to do so.
Admitting a desire to investigate in dis
regard of the formal assurances Of the
Russian government to Ambassador
Mccormick, the department would
probably render our diplomatic agents
personae non gratae in case they should
cast doubt Upon the official Russian
statements.
A brief caplegram from st. Peters,
burg this morning might open the way
for diplomatic action on the part Of the
United States in this matter. That
statement said the Russian govern
fend themselves, with the deliberate
purpose Of forcing them to emigrate to
the United States; for nowhere in Eu-
rope could they find refuge.
Such action would be similar to that
taken by the Roumanian government,
upon which the state department laid
down the doctrine that dumping hordes
Of emigrants likely to prove paupers
upon our shores was obnoxious to the
United States.
In this connection 1t may be worth
noting that in spite of the vigorous pro-
test against Roumania's action, con-
tanned in the state departments cir
cular note to the powers, the Rou-
manian government never admitted
our right to interfere even on the basis
Of immigration and conditions continue
very much as they We're SO far as the
Jews in Roumania are concerned,

New York, May 2O.-Seven trust com
panies have withdrawn from the clear
ing house because of the requirement
to maintain a cash reserve, or have an
nounced their intention to do SO by
June l. These companies have de-
posts approximating s225, Ooo, 900, and
their cash or hand is in round figures
$780, 900. Had they remained in the
clearing house they would have beenre-
CURED to hold $12, 600, 900 on hand. Thus
they would have required about So
600, 600 additional for their reserve
funds, which would have been taken
from the banks, as members Of the
clearing house committee believe most
of the trust companies will withdraw.
Some Of them will no longer attempt to
do a general banking business, but re-
strict themselves to regular trust COM

are Jews There Is, however. 1850, 600
Jews in Russia and many OF them are
Of the lower order. The Jews are not
an agricultural people; they are mer-
chants. The result is that as soon as
they accumulate a few dollars they go

lending. Their customers are the peas
