to Governor
COWARD DENIES HEARING
Says the Soldiers Did Right in Killing
Innocent Women and Children and
That 10 the Policy 10 Be Pursued by
the Russian Government.

Warsaw, May 11.--A group of fac
tory owners and other residents Of
Warsaw have presented a memorial to
Governor General Maximovitch, ac-
cusIng the troops OF needless bar
barity ani brutality in connection
with events on May / and demanding
an imperial investigation participated
In by representatives, Of the people. The
memoriallsts declare that the order to
fire on the crowd in Jerusalem street
was given without exhausting other
means for Its dispersal or giving the
prescribed three preliminary signals
and that when the crowd jispered
after the volley the troops brutally
beat those remaining in the streets
as well as those who sought refuge In
houses, hunting out,shooting and beat
ing women and children as we'll as
men. The memorialists asserted that
a 1S-year-old girl in a shed hiding
was sabred by policeman and that
a 16-year-old boy who run into bed
room and crawled under bed for shell
ter was deliberately shot through the
window ana mortally wounded.
The memorialists have recounted a
number Of similar instances. the gov
ernor general replied that the use of
arms was necessitated by the threat
ening bearing OF the crowd from whom
the first shot fired making the return
volley necessary. In such a conflict
he said. sacrifice of life was unavoid-
able.
The governor general regretted to
conclude, but declared the crowd was
simply warned by the declaration that
order would be obtained at any price
He admitted that the troops might
have displayed unnecessary harshness,
but argued that the presence Of an
officer with every detachment was not
always possible. He denied. therefore,
a public investigation, but invited the
memorialists to report violations Of
the law and present the facts regard
ing cruelty in individual cases. which
he would be ready and willing to in
vestigate.
