RUSSIAN JEWS NOW
co ARMED.
Even the Women Have Been Provided
with Revolvers-Arms Have
Also Been Sent to Jews in
the Other Cities OF
Russia.

Berlin. June 3.-Advices received here
from Odessa, under date of May 2S, say
the Jews there are now prepared to de-
fend themselves intelligently. Several
thousand revolvers have been imported
since the Kishinef massacre, SO that at
present almost every Jew, man or wom-
an is armed Those who were unable
to buy weapons received them as gifts
from the defense committee.
A system of communication has also
been agreed on so as to spread warn
ing throughout the city when there is an
outbreak of violence in any quarter.
Families residing near each other VIII
concentrate for defense and every second
man will join what might be called an
expeditionary corps, to take part IN an
aggressive defense where rioting is ac-
tually going on. Arms have been dis
tributed from Odessa to the Jews in other
cities of Russia.
The Tageblatt today prints dispatch
from ST. Petersburg announcing that a
law was published there this day giving
Il list of 101 towns in Russia III when
Jews are allowed TO acquire land ana
live without restriction. Jews are tenn
porarily forbidden to buy land OUTSIDE
these places. where they will be legally
settled.

MOB HANGS
NEGRO MAN,
Victim Was Dragged Out Of Cell and
Hanged to Telephone Pole in
the Public Square Next to
the Court House.

Believille, Ills. June s.-County Super
lntendent Charles Hertel, OF St. Clair
county. was shot and MORALLY wounded
in his office this evening by w. It. Wy
att, a negro school teacher, Of East st.
Louis, whose certificate TO teach Hertel
had refused to renew. Wyatt was i'm
mediately arrested and taken to Jail.
Superintendent Hertel was removed to
a hospital, where the physicians probed
for the bullet, but they stated that there
was no chance for his recovery. Hertel
said Wyatt had shot him because or
his refusal TO renew certificate for
tea aching.
A young man of the name of Fielder
was in the office when tho shooting oc
Cured He grappled with Wyatt. who
beat him off with the butt of his reyolv
err inficting 4 severe scalp wound.
passing policeman hurried into the room
and arrested the negro. He was hurried
to the county jail and the place was sur
rounded with policemen, as 1t was feared
a mob might form.
A couple of hours passed. when sudden
ly a mob appeared before the jail and
forced an entrance to Wyatts cell, de-
spite the protests of the mayor and chief
of police.
Securing the prisoner the mob dragged
him out and hanged him to a telephone
pole in the public square next to the
court house.
Even while his body was Jerking in the
throes Of death from strangula ton mem
berg of the mob began to build a fire at
the foot of the pole. The flames nared
up and licked at the feet of the victim,
but this did not satisfy the mob and an
other and larger fire was started near by.
When it had begun to burn briskly, the
negro. still half alive, was cut down,
covered with coal oil and cast into the
fire. Means Of pain were heard from the
half-dead victim, and these served to
further infuriate his tCrturers. They fell
on him with clubs and knives and cut and
beat the burning body almost to pieces,
and not until every sign of life had de-
parted did they desist and permit the
flames to devour the body. AS the fire
lighted up the scene the members or the
mob stood around the funeral pyre, hurl~
ing more faggots in the flames and de-
nouncing the negro for the shooting.
After the body had been reduced to ashes
the mob departed and all became quiet

Russians Angry with Americans.


St Petersburg, Juno 4.-The relations
between the United States and Russia are
much discussed here. The Novoe VreTnya
prints "a signed leading article, headed;
.ARussia and America" which says:
'"rhe United States. from time to time,

paganda, which finds favorable soil IN us

ernmental traditions and carried away py

take a different course from the dplo-
macy of Europe. We must create a party
snd explain our designs and positions,
not only to Mr.. Hay. but to the people
also, which is always the same. They
must act through the American press,
which, Notwithstanding its defects, seems
to be not only the mirror but the leader
of American public opinion"
The editor of The Syromiatnkoff says:
Thrice in America have been found
hearty Russian sympathies, but Russia
|. remains dumb while the American papers
against Russia, from English, German
and Jewish sources. Count Cassini eX-
celently defends our political interests,
but he cannot undertake a newspaper

unanswered"
The article further complains that the
American school history contains moth
ing referring to the friendship shown by
Russia 10 the United States at the foun
dalton of and in the defense OF the
union.

Ritual Murder Cause of Riot.

New York June b.-The Christian Her
aid, in response to a cablegram sent to
the czar. asking for official report
of the occurrences at Kishinef has re-
ceived reply from the director OF the
Russian police department The reply
says:
The strained relations existing be-
tween the Russians and Jews Of Bes-
saraba were made worse by the fact OF
finding in an outlying village Il nITr-
dered Christian boy. The murder was at
tributed by the population to the Jewish
ritual habits. Official denials of the rt-
ual murder were not given credit by the
peasants, who attributed other murders
OF Christians In the towns of Kief and
Kishinef likewise TO the Jews.
ION Easter day in the market place
Of Kishinef. the workers while holiday
making saw the Jewish proprietor OF a
carousing machine strike Christian
woman, who fell TO the ground, letting
go her infant baby. This incident was
the Immediate cause of an outburst. The
workers began breaking windoAS and
pulling down Jewish stores sign OF
protest. The police. who always leave
