k1Sh1neH Horrors Repeated ON a
Smaller Scale.
GOMEL, Russia, Sept. PA press
correspondent has made an investiga-
ton OIL the spot Of the ''pogrom-" as
the Russians describe the anti-Semite
riots, which occurred here Sept. IL and
We're renewed for several days. The
riots were smaller, but perhaps more
remarkable than those which took
place at Kishineff, because the police
and military openly sided with the
phlnderers and murderers, the "po-
gromshiks," as the Russians called
them.
The troops, supported by many edu-
Gated and we'll to do Christians, form
ed a movable shield behind which the
"pogromshiks' ruthlessly demolished
the Jewish homes and shops and cru
ely dubbed such Jews as fell into Their
hands, leisurely proceeding from street
to street and district to district as they
did so.
The commerce and industry of Go
mel, which Is considerable. is largely
in the hands of the Jewish population,
numbering 10000. Few of the residents
are wealthy, but none are paupers. The
Jewish artisans incline to social m.
The trouble began Sept. IL, a holiday
(the day of the ~beheading of John the
Baptist in q wrangle in the fruit and
fish markets between moujiks peas-
ants and Jews. The wrangle ended in
a free fight, in which many were
wounded, one moujik succumbing to
his injuries. The moujiks demanded
vengeance and employed the following
days, Saturday and Sunday, in infam-
ing the anti-Semite agitation, the lead
ers being an officer named Pensky and
q rich merchant named Petrachenko.
Everybody knew that a pogron
would occur on Monday, and the Jews
appealed for protection to Chief of Po-
lice Ravsky, who summoned an infan-
try regiment from its summer en-
campment. Thus there were 1900 SOL
diers In the town. A luncheon hour
on Monday the anti-Semitic railway
workmen to the number Of some hun
dreds began an organized attack on
the Jewish houses in Zamovkaya
street. sacking them and demolishing
or spelling the bulky articles by soak
ing them with kerosene. Police Chief
Ravsky had placed police and troops
on the Zamovkaya, but they acted as
though they were intended to protect
the pogromshiks from interference.
Jews who tried to cross their lines to
rescue their coreligionists were brutal
ly dubbed with the soldiers guns, bay

1.-The corn crop, Owing to the peNrA

Heavy floods destroyed it on bottom

In streaks. Through central Iowa per-
haps one-quarter of the crop has been
touched by the freeze, but what has
not been affected by frost is ripening
rapidly with this fine weather. Iowa,
for instance, will not have as many
bushels as last year, but will produce
more No. 2 corn than last year. There
will be plenty of corn in the country,
because feeding was very extensive
last year, as the cor was of such a
character that it had to be fed. Feed
ing last year was unprofitab BILE. Very
many feeders lost money; therefore
they will feed less this year.
"A very heavy hay crop was secured
this season, and pastures have been
and still are in excellent condition.
"As to wheat, thrashing has been
delayed by rainy weather. If the pres
ent good weather continues it will pro-
gress rapidly. In considering the
wheat crop we must take account OF
all the wheat growing countries. We
are getting into telegraph relationship
with most of the European countries,
so as to be able to estimate the worlds
crop more closely than has heretofore
been done. Taking our farm products
as a whole, there is an abundance in

a son of his, about sixteen years old,
had left his home. in Brooklyn on a
schooner bound for this port to load

name was Griffith. His son had spent
the summer during his vacation in
Maine and had to come back to''attend
school. He had become so attached
to the place where he had spent so
many pleasant weeks that the longing
to go back there was so great that he
seized on the opportunity for doing so
when it came to him. One of the
crew hid him away and if the 1rate
father could have met him to know
him, it would have gone hard with
him. Mr.. Griffith hired a launch and
took a policeman with him to try and
find the schooner, the captain of

and worry, as she was almost frantic
about her son. He spent the day with
Chief Minnick, taking dinner at his
house and in the afternoon he and the
chief went OF a tug to meet the
schooner on which he hoped to find
his son. He was not disappointed,
and after returning here, the father
and son boarded a train for home.
The captain was very angry it is said.
