istok lies near the junction of the
St. Petersburg Warsaw and the
Koenigsberg-O1essa railroads, and
many troops are quartered there.
The town has 65. 900 inhabitants,
three-quarters of them Jews. Some
Jewish workingmen were arrested
there three weeks ago, and treated
with exceptional brutality by the
soldiers and policemen, whose off,
GERS threatened openly that they
would crush the Jewish population
and teach the Jews lesson"
A small gathering Of Jews, pos
sibly Socialists. but not authorized
by the Socialist party to act, order
ed that the brutal treatment of
their alleged coreligiouists be av-
enged. The persons picked to do
this work threw a bomb on August
IL among some soldiers, of whom
three were killed, while dozen
workingmen were wounded, some
fatally. This was the signal for a
violent outbreak by the troops
against all the Jews, Innocent and
guilty alike. Soldiers marched up
and down Bailistok streets, shooting

A Volcano Story from Nevada.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA
special dispatch to the Chronicle from
Reno, New, says: A volcano throwing
of molten lava and 10 active opera.
ton has been discovered in Nevad a
by cattlemen of Lovelock. The vol.
cano is located in Ry Patch, Hum.
boldt county. Although that section
has been traversed for years the crater
has just been found for the first time.
The men were in search Of cattle when
they came upon the stream of lava
and tracing it to its source, located
the volcano. The rocks for some dis
lance around there were so hot tina,
they could not be touched with the
bare hands. The volcano is active.
This Is attested by the fact that distant
rnmblings accompany the flow of laya.

LEWIsTOWN, Aug. 1.-THE case OF
the State OF Montana against G. G.
Hodgdon was brought to trial yester.
day in the district court, resulting ia
the dismissal OF the appeal from the
Justices court. Tim defend ant, Hodg.
don, has been acting as the agent Of a
company that was selling buggies and
vehicles throughout Fergus county
without paying the license exacted by
the state in such cases. A fine of 800
was entered against Hodgdon at the
trial in the Justices court and an ap-
peal was taken TO the district court,
bail ON appeal being furnished by de.
posting with the justice a certified
check for the amount of bail required.
When the case came up in the district
court counsel forthe state moved for the
dismissal of the appeal on the ground
that the bail furnished aid not meet
the requirements of the statutes.
Argument on the motion consumed
the entire day, the motion being sus-
tanned by the court. A large array of
counsel appeared in this trial. Coun.
ty Attorney Ayers, O. w. Belden and
Rudolf O. Tobel appearing for the
state. and Huntoon, Worden & Smith,
H. Leonard De Kalb and William
Wallace, Jr., OF Helena, appearing
for the defendant.

Increase in Land Leases.

HELENA, Aug. 1O.-Montana, for
the fret time in its history, has under
lease more than 1000, 600 acres of
state lands, and from these it derives
an annual income of $2ll,6
John P. Schmit, register of the state
land Office, made this announcement
today and said that If, at the close of
the fiscal year, the amount under lease
did not show a falling off from the
present figures, the department would
be more than satisfied. The antici.
pated decrease may be looked for be.
cause of the large number of leases
expiring within the next few months,
although every effort is being made to
secure renewals in these cases upon
favorable terms.
AT the close of the last fiscal year
the state had under lease l.79S. 37t
acres, from which a revenue of $3.50,
1856 was derived.

WOMEN JURORS ADVOCATED.
Verdicts Would Be More Just with Matrons
in Jury Box. Say Portia Members.

TN the case Of woman who is accused of muir
dering her degenerate husband" pleaded Mrs.
R. NJ. Bent before the Porta Club yesterday after
noon would not the ends Of justice be better met
If twelve matrons were introduced into the Jury
box, instead of twelve men, hangers-on about the
courtroom? Only wives understand what
woman has TO endure from a degenerate husband"
At this Portia applauded, and then turned to hear
the opinion of Professor George w. Kirchway,
dean Of Columbia Law School, who had just
finished his lecture 'The Jury An Instrument
of Justice"
THE woman would be more apt to be convicted
OF the crime Professor Kirchway responded
quickly, 'by matron jury then by the usual jury
of men" Then he continued. smiling: Anyway. I
don't believe that you could get together q jury
made up Of wives of degenerate husbands Most
of the twelve would be loving wives of noble hus-
bands, and they wouldn't be able to see at all how
any woman could possibly think of killing her hus-
band But, seriously" Professor Kirchway added.
1t is not the duty Of jury to find extenuating
circumstances 1t is to decide only whether the
defendant is guilty of the crime"
After Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake had informed
the lecturer Of the splendid work done by women
Jurors in Colorado" he confessed that in an ideal
administration OF the law should play a
part as & Vel as men and he sat down with the
reLiaTk mat he should not look for a reign Of
regenerated."
As a, result of the address, Portia decided to
The G club voted protest to the bin brought be-
married women responsible for the payment for
neeessaries eTS of life when the husband be
held responsible The vote was not unanimous by
q good deal, for many of the club members con-
tended that woman likes the privilege of making
a contract; and that therefore. she should be held
o. Miss Emile Bgllowa; president Of Portia. said
IN explanation OF the bill: Married women have
always been privileged class. Formerly a woman
could buy anything that she needed and her hus-
pand aione would be liable for 1t, although a
woman nan has more complete ownership Of property
permit a married woman to play the baby act of
making her husband alone liable any more"
Another plea for the bill was made by Mrs
Reuter- who declared that its passage would insure
Justice to the tradesman who would be more
likely TO get the money due him
Mrs Bent chairman of the legislative commit
thai mhPTied & b women % have so many burdens al
atUres ever ready pile up disa bites for Us
she affirmed, while Miss Rhodes's legal mind ad-
vanced the argument that ''as a married woman Is
considered TO be in service TO her husband and is
band should foot the bills
The Portia Club will hold its next meeting at the
usual place Murray Hill Hotel. on February o.
