scTibed. The meeting was presided
over by DR.. Fabian Franklin. editor
Of The Baltimore Evening News, and
among the speakers were cX.Goy-
ernor William Pinkney Whyte, eX-
Congressman John V. L. FiEdlay,
Mayor Hayes, Roger Hull and 9th
ers. Letters of sympathy were read
from Governor John Waite: Smith,
Attorney General Isadorc Rayner,

divines, all expressing their horror
over the massacre at kischnsff and
conviction that the United States

end that the public opinion of this

bons:
"Dr. Harry FrieEdenwald, Chairman:
Dear Sir: regret that my en-
forced absence from the city on May
18th will prevent my presence at the
meeting you have called to give voice
t. your horror at the events that have
recently taken place at kischnsff. |
have no hesitation, however, to eX-
press my deep adherence at the mas
sacres that have carried 10 their
graves gray hair and innocent child
hood. Our sense of justice revolts at
the thought Of persecution for re-
ligion's sake: but when persecution Is
attended with murder and pillage the
brain reels and the heart dickens, and
righteous indignation Is aroused at
the enormity Of such crime. What
a blot upon our civilization is this
slaughter of inoffensive men and wo-
men, Please convey to the meeting
my grief for the dead, and my sim
cere hope that this twentieth century
will see the end Of all such occur
rences and that psace and brotherly
love NAV prevail on earth.
