Two Hundred and Thirty-Five Jews

BUCHAREST. May ls.-(New = IN ID
Cablegram-special Telegram)-A II
person visited Kischineff two days
the massacre declared here that u.
troubles occurred on Wednesday and
Thursday OF the orthodox Easter week
The pretext alleged. but one that has been
disproved, was a ritual murder. The ar
rest Of the principal agitator was the signal
for a premeditated fanatical attack upon
the Jews throughout the town. At least
500 houses and shops were wrecked and the
Jews we're beaten and otherwise mall
treated.
One hundred and seventy-hve Jews were
killed outright and of the 5s5 wounded
sixty afterward succumbed to their in
juries, making total of 2S5 to be murdered.
VIENNA, May 19-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram. 1.-THE corre-
spondent of the World met today and
talked with several fugitive Jews Just ar
rived from Kischineff, where they were eye
witnesses to the recent atrocities. One of
them is a wealthy merchant named Chas-
kel Suessel, who, with his wife and five
children, lived in a handsome home. su-
essel was the proprietor of a fine store.
He is an educated man of so years. He
said:
II noticed several weeks before the cat
astrophe how the excitement against the
Jews had increased and the cause is now
readily found. Governor Raaben had asked
a rich Jew named Perlmutter for the loan
of $4,000 roubles (about $4,000. Perlmutter
asked two brothers named Alprim to par
ticipate In the loan. The brothers refused
to do so.
~ ff.r
and the Alprim brothers asked the pro-
lection of the governor, promising him any
price asked. The governor sent a detach-
ment of Cossacks to guard the homes Of
the three men, where all remained un-
touched during the terrible days of the
massacre. The price paid for this protec-
ton was 10000 roubles $4,000.
ION Sunday, April 10, a great number of
country folk came to Kischlne1, filling the
brandy shops and refusing payment for
drinks. The Jew shopkeepers, who were
much afraid of their patrons gave them
credit, knowing full we'll they would never
see a penny Of the money.
"Seventy-ive thousand Jews were in the
hundreds OF temples and schools, when to-
ward evening their little children came
running to them, crying that strange men
filled their homes and were smashing win
dows and otherwise destroying things.
when the Jews rushed to the rescue oi
their homes they were met in the streets
by mobs of excited men, who spat In theiI

One OF the notwithstanding phases of the

Thinks Tube scheme Contrary

LONDON, May 1s.-The London County
Council today considered a report of its
parliamentary committee dealing with the
proposed amalgamation of underground
railways in London. The report says:
The proposed company consists of a
group of financiers headed by Mr.. Yerkes.
Under the agreement provision is made for
large payments to the Yerkes and Speyer
groups for their service in the formation
and promotion Of the company. The COM

public, whose Interests are insuficiently
guarded by the terms of the amalgama-
tion.
