THE SITUATION AT ODESSA.


The London Standard correspondent
at Odessa, called on the civil COVER
nor, General Grigorieff, last Thursday
week. General Grigorieff, while frankly
and sympathetically admitting the hor-
rible cruelties perpetrated upon the Jews
under the regime of his predecessor, de-
sires the correspondent to deny the many
maliciously-invented charges now cur
rent, such as the report that the bodies
Of sixteen young Jewish girls were on
the preceding night, flung from the win
dows of the Cossack barracks, and the
statement that all the military barracks
were filled with Jewish loot. Independ-
ent investigation, says the correspond
ent corroborated these disclaimers, but
it should be remembered, he remarked,
that nothing is inherently impossible or
improbable in the charge levelled against
the Cossack Bashi-bozouks. His excel
lency, added the correspondent, was
aware Of the threatened renewal Of the
Judenhetze, but was prepared merci-
lessly to crush the first attempt at ex-
cesses. The correspondent stated, how
ever, that while accepting the bona

Trained advisedly from expressing un-
qualified confidence in the executive s
fulfillment Of them. Receiving the chief
rabbi last week, the prefect said that he
made no distinction of nationality, and
the Jews might live in peace, and conf
dence. He guaranteed perfect order,
and it was his intention to devote his
energies to securing appeasement and a
good understanding between the differ
ent sections Of the population.
An appeal to the population, signed
by the archbishop, the prefect, the
mayor, the rector, the judges, and other
authorities, was published on the same
day, reassuring the citizens, promising
the restoration Of order, and calling on
the inhabitants to return to their nor
NAL occupations. Nevertheless, the for
elgn passport department and the rail
way booking offices were last week daily
bcsieged by those endeavoring to flee
from the city. Tickets for the western
frontier had to be booked ten days
ahead.

Denver, Colo, March 30.-The Re-
publican today says:
From Morgantown, w. Va, comes
the news that Sarah and Mary Harti-
gan, aged five and eleven years re-
spectively, daughters of DR.. William
Hartigan, a famous surgeon and pro-
fessor in the University of West Vir-
ginia have been kidnapped and
brought to Denver.
A legal battle for the custody of
the little ones is promised, as large
financial interests are at stake The
father is determined he shall secure
the children. Certain relatives of the
late Mrs. Hartigan are just as deter
mined that the children shall be
taken away from the father.
An estate valued at 100000 is the
bone of contention. The little ones
who we're spirited away from their
fathers home will share in this estate.
This is the second time the children
have been Kidnapped from their
father.

in the Country.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Boston, Mass, March 3O.-Despite
the fact that the prudential commit
tee of the American Board of Commits
sioners for Foreign Missions has prac-
tically decided to accept the gift Of
100000 from John ID. Rockefeller, to
further the work OF the board, a
committee representing the Congrega-
tional clergymen of Boston and vi
cinity, who are opposed to the ac-
ceptance of the gift, met today and
decided to continue the protest. 1t
was agreed by the members of the
committee that wide expression of
opinion on the question was desirable
and for this purpose a committee was
appointed to submit the facts and doc
uments in the matter to the Congre-
gational ministers of the country. The
prudential committee will not take
final action on the acceptance of Mr..
Rockefeller's gift for two weeks, and
it is the intention of the protesting
committee to learn if possible the
general feeling among the clergymen
of the denomination.
Todays meeting, which was private,
was held at the rooms of the Tween
lleIn Century CluD, anu WdS dbtSIiu~
ed by fifteen members of the COM
mittee. Tonight statement regard
ing the proceedings was issued by
Rev. Herbert w. Gleason, secretary
of the protestants committee, which
says
1.-THE committee considered the re-
ply of the prudential committee to
the protest and were a unit in the
conviction that this reply raises a still
more fundamental and serious issue,
namely, that the prudential commit
tee disclaims all moral responsibility
for discrimination as to sources from
which they received money for Chris
tian work. For this reason it seemed
to the committee all the more neces-
sary to maintain the protest"

UNEAsINEss IN ENGLAND.
Caused by Won BueIow Referring to
the Kaiser's Visit to Morocco as
Political.
(By the Assoclated Press.l

London. March 81 (Friday) -The
editorial articles and dispatches print
ed i'm the London newspapers this
morning almost all reflect a certain
sense of uneasiness, almost amounting
to irritation at the idea based on
Chancellor Won Buelow's speech in
the Reichstag,o on March 20, that En-
peror Williams visit to Tangier has a
distinctly political motive. The sub
iect was also much commented upon
in the Hobbies of the Houses of Par
lament yesterday. "Russia's eclipse
is Germany's opportunity" crystallizes
in a sentence the general idea preva-
lent on the subject.
1t is suggested that Emperor Will
liam, far from desiring to irritate
France, wishes rather to emphasize
the diminished value of the Russian
alliance and thereby persuade France
of the ACCESSIBILITY of q reproachment
with Germany. At the same time
those least inclined to cavil at the Ger
man Emperor's action admit that 1t is
calculated to stiffen the Sultan's re-
sistance to French policy in Morocco,
and SO retard the civilizing scheme in
vOlved in the AngloFrench agree
ment.

STIRRING UP WAR.
The British Lion is Roaring at
Chatham County.

An affair having it's origin in the
hunting season in Chatham County
has had it's development in call
from the British Consul for an ex-
PLANTATION.
1t appears that about Hickory
Mountain, in Chatham County there
is a hunting preserve of some 10000
acres on which parties in the North
pay taxes for the exclusive right to
hunt Prominent among these is DIR.
Ravensford, of New York. A man by
the name of Evans is in charge and
he is a Britisher.
The hunting season having closed
Evans was exercising his dogs to train
them and some game was killed. He
was tried at Ore Hill, found guilty
and fined $500 and costs. There was
some dispute, so it is alleged, Evans
being said to have called a man a
liar, the man Immediately knocking
him down.
That is one side of the story The
other is that Evans was Directing to
paying certain costs, and while he
was in the custody Of the sheriff he
was knocked down by man.
Evans reported the matter to the
British legation in Washington, claim
ing that as a British subject he has
been wrOnged, and the matter was re-
ferred to Vice Consul John Sprunt at
Wilmington, who has written letter
to Governor Glenn in the matter. The
Governor will investigate the affair,
and it is now up to- him to avert a

They are Now Threatened
With Indictment.
BETRAYAL OR STAND
Two Witnesses are Said to Have De-
cIared yesterday That They Had
Been Approached by People
in the Interest Of the
Meat Packers
lRv the Associated Press.l

Chicago, March 30.-Conspiracy in
dictments are threatened against heads
of big meat packing concerns unless al
legged tampering with witnesses who
have been summoned to testify before
the Federal grand jury is discontinued
at once. With two witnesses on the
stand today who, it is asserted, ad-
mitted that they had been approached
with a suggestion that their testimony
be mild, the jury, it is declared, is get
ting ready TO take drastic action.
1--WE will shut off interference with
witnesses" said Assistant Attorney
General Pagin tonight, even IL we
have to resort to proceedings under
the conspiracy statute to do So"
Belief was general tonight that Mr..
Pagin has already laid out plans of
new indictments.
Fifteen witnesses were heard today,
three women being among those VIII
testified. The women were said to be
stenographers employed by the Ma
tional Packing Company One of the
witnesses before the jury today was
Charles e. Meade, of Boston, formerly
connected with Swift & Company s
car lines. T. S. Curtis, of 7. e. Baker
& Company of Boston, and Frank
lDlI1lpOn Ol OUldld,e were OltIGI VIII
nesses before the jury. Mr.. Dimpon
explained the meat business from the
view point of the medium through
which the consumer obtains the meat.
The fifteen secret service men who
have been frequenting the corridors
in the building while the grand jury is
in session, were not to be seen today.
District Attorney Morrison was said to
have ordered that waiting witnesses
instead of spending their time in the
vicinity of the jury room are to be
concealed in downtown hotels until
called before the jury. In this way
the witnesses will be more readily pre-
vented from learning the identity of
the secret service men watching for
possible irregularities.
Ten men arrived in the jury room
this evening and reported to the gov
eminent officials. 1t is said that the
ten are employed by railroads in Mich
igan.

OFF THE CASH
The New Ratio for Sher-
ifs Salaries.
This Affects Many Counties And
Leaves Extra Money In the
Various County Treas.
uriieS.

An act that effectually put an end
to great big salaries for sheriffs in
the heavy paying counties was passed
by the General Assembly of 1905.
Heretofore the sheriffs, in addition
to other fees coming into their Offices,
have been allowed five per cent on all
collections. Seeing that this was too
much in many counties the General
Assembly cut into the rate so as TO
get at the fat salaries.
This was done by allowing the five
per cent on all collections up to $5O,-
600 and changing the figure at this
so that on all collections above $50
600 the sheriff or tax collector should
only receive two and a half per cent.
TO show how this works, and the
saving by this to the State, county
and school treasures here is the case
Of Wake county. In 1904 the collec-
tons exceeded $4,000 and the com.
mission on this was $4,000. On the
new basis there is per cent on 500
600 this being $500 and 2 IL per
cent on $4,000 this being $3,25O, q
total of $3.50, a saving of 1920 by
which figures the sheriff's salary is
reduced.
Mecklenburg has a number of tax
collectors for it's $23S,735 and is not
set salaries and escape the new rule,
but here are some others in which
salaries are reduced and money saved
Buncombc on $751; 46 reduces from
$3.50 to $5,175. a saving of $2,675.
Durham on S12S,108 reduces from
$1,000 to S4,450. a saving of $3.50.
New Hanover on $117,670 reduces
from $3.50 to SALTS, saving of ST.
CTS.
Robson on $104,693 reduces from
5000 to $3.50, saving of $3.50.
There are savings in other counties
as follows, this Icing 2 IL per cent
on the surplus over $4,000 in the
following counties the taxes of which
in 1904 were: Alamance $66,S50,
Craven $63,117, Cumberland 1920.
Fdgecombe $T6,924. CASTOR $S0,662,
IredeH $72,464, Nash $59,319, Rock
inghan $74,122 Wayne $84,954, Will
son $75.035, Halifax $S2,823 and
Rowan $96,632.
There are some other counties that
saved smaller sums, the taxes in these
being from $4,000 to 100000 but by
far the larger number of counties in
the State pay taxes less than $4,000
and the rates are not affected.
