RIOTS 8UNCHECk ED BY Poll CE
Better Section Of City Invaded
BY Crowds and Property
(By Associated Presss.)
Destroyed.


WARSAW, May 25.-The Jewish disor-
ders here last night arose from an at
tempt OF the Jewish Socialist organization
called the Bund to purge the Hebrew
district OF Warsaw or all disreputable
persons. The. Bundltes, with the view
to cxpcllng their Undesirable co-relgion-
lists. commenced to- wreck disorderly
houses. cafes and other resorts
The disturbances continued all day and
we're still in progress lato Tonight. Eight
persons have already been killed and 100
wounded. nineteen seriously. The damage
TO property has been considerable. There
has been no pllagng. but the destrllc-
ton of the furniture in the VARIOUS houses
has been absolute.
ia The mob armed with axes smashed the
doors and windows and brought tho fur
sniture out on the streets. where they
broke 1t into small pieces. The owners
OF the furniture, In attempting to defend
their belongings, were attacked, beaten
and even killed. Knives and reyolvers
were used freely and many persons were
terribly injured.
Jews Attack Jews.
The authorities took no steps to pre-
vent the riots until late tonight, when
the cossachs fired on the crowds at two
points, woundng four persons.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press spent several hours In the disturbed
district, but did not sec single active
policeman. During the day, patrols oc-
casionaly appeared. but they regarded
the proceedings as merely spectators. 70
character of the disturbances Is unpreee-
dented. The whole affair Is q conflict be-
tween the respectable Jewish Socialist
classes and the dlsreputable Jewish ele-
ment. WI .
Extraordinary scenes were Witnessed
late tonight when the crowds visited the
better section Of tho city and demolished
apartments filled with costly effects,
Wardobes, pianos and mirrors were
thrown out OF the windows. The mob IN
tho streets left open spaces for the fall
Ing articles and then completed the work
OF destruction. In one place. quantity
Of valuable jewelry was taken out and and
deliberately smashed with stones.
Tho whole affair was carefully Or
ganized The leaders were supplied with
the addresses of the owners Of disreput-
able houses and scarcely single resort
in Warsaw escaped destruction.
