Race Riots in a Town
i'm Southwestern Russia
FIGHT CONTINUES
FORTY-EIGHT HOURS
Opens With Attack Upon He
brew Residents, Who Wig

Against Their Assailants

LONDON, May ia dispatch to a
news agency from Odessa says it is re-
ported there that thirteen Jews have
been killed in riots at Melitopol in the
Government of Taurfda, Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 9.-The re-
port in circulation here last night that
there had been a massacre of Jews
at Zhitomir, Government of Volhynia,
Southwestern Russia, is confirmed in a
dispatch to the Novosti, which says
the rioting was begun on May Z and
continued for forty-eight hours. Ortho-
COX Christians fell upon the Jews in
the streets. The Jews were armed and
fought their assailants, many being
killed or wounded on either side.
Private dispatches from Zhitomir at
tribute the attack upon the Jews TO
articles in Kroushevan's paper. Twelve
persons were killed and fifty were
wounded. On Sunday the Jews tele-
graphed to friends in st. Petersburg to
ask the authorities to take strong
measures for their protection and or
ders TO that effect were sent. A re-
newal of the fighting was expected.
Commenting upon this news, the No
vosti remarks upon the coincidence that
Kroushevan (the former editor of the
Bessarabyetz of Kishenev, held to be
responsible for the massacre of 1908 at
that place., had hardly gone to Zhito-
mir and started the publication of a
new paper, the Friend, before Jewish
massacres commenced in the neighbor-
hood.

TAFT JARS RAILWAY MEN.
At Banquet He States Regulation
Must Come

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Secretary
Taft fairly took the breath out of the
5U0 railway men, members of the In
ternational Railway Congress, dining
tonight as the guests of the American
Railway Association at the New Will.
lard Hotel when, after being intro
duced as the apostle from the Philip
pines" he emphatically declared that
railway rate legislation must come:
that II the railway men of the country
were wise they would aid and not him
der 1t; that the sentiment of the coun-
try is such that failure of proper regu-
latlon meant campaign on the sub
ject that would do no good to the rail-
roads.
Absolute silence reigned as Secretary
Ia1t spoke his mind on the subject of
rates. He was positively against Gov
eminent ownership, he said. believing
that nothing so deletefious could come
to the country as this solution of the
question. But" he continued. you
cannot run railroads as you run private
business. You must respond to the pub
lie demand. If there is danger of dis
elimination. then you must allow the
establishment of some tribunal that
will remedy that discrimination"
The Secretary saw no reason why a
tribunal properly constituted should
not be competent In every sense of the
word to fix a maximum rate.
President Stuyvesant Fish of the
American Railway Association had in
troduced Secretary Taft in his capacity
as POSTMASTER. Fish was on his feet
the instant the Secretary concluded.
He answered the Secretary at length
taking the view that the law to prevent
discrimination, double dealing and Sc
cret rebates was ample and he vigor-
ously called for the enforcement of
that law. Fish talked of the vested
rights of money tied up in railways.
He apologized for allowing himself to
be diverted, and as he sat down Secre-
tary Taft, who sat next to him, queried
in low tone, May have fifteen min
utes to reply?" The time was given.
and the Secretary utilized it in making
himself even more positive as to his
position in favor of legislation which

WASHINGTON. May 9.-The Govern
ment will reply to the inquiry of the
committee, consisting of San Fran
cisco men who have been delegated to
ask certain questions about Panama
rates. by saying that the policy of the
President will be to advocate the re-
duction of rates across the isthmus
within reason and without subjecting
the Government to a loss.
According to dispatches. a report is
to be submitted from the Chamber or
Commerce OF San francisco by Rufus
Jennings, w. j. DuttOn and w. K.
Wheeler. It will be read to the Presi-
dent on his return, to Secretary of
War Taft and to Commissioner Bris-
tow. The report explains the difficulty
of transshipping goods via Panama
and asks for information regarding
rates. 1t is shown that there is loss
by breakage, and because of the time
consumed material reduction OF
rates would be necessary to offset this
The Governments departments will
find that there is not a great deal of
loss by breakage and that the average
shipment of goods via Panama Is made
of material that cannot very well be
injured by delay in shipment. The
percentage of saving by shipment via
the isthmus over shipment 0y raIl-
roads has not been more than 8 per
cent, sometimes much less Under the
Government plans it is possible to
make the saving at least 20 per cent on

by fluctuations OF the markets and the
