$1,000 JEWS REPORTED KILLED
Educated Refugee Tells of Three Days
Massacre at Odessa

Leon Jacob Siorotin, an educated Russian
Jew OF Odessa, who has arrived at Boston
from Russia, says that $1,000 Jews were
killed IN three days by most terrible mutila-
ton end torture. Cossacks and police aided
the mobs in their deadly work. and men,
women and children were among the VIC
tins.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
Among the Jewish refugees from Russia
who arrived there yesterday on the Ameri-
can liner Noordland was Abraham Stapf,
who was prosperous tailor of Gomel Mr..
Stapf said that the world at large does not
receive the real news of the outrages against
the Jews in Russia, because most of the
attacks occur in small towns at a distance
from Geographic centers. He said these
villages are being devastated and pillaged
daily, and In many cases entire towns are
wiped out. The survivors of these outrages
he declared are unable to leave Russia
through lack of money. They are fortunate

SHAW ON SPECULATION.
Secretary of the Treasury at Buffalo
Banquet.

Secretary Leslie NJ Shaw was the prir-
cipal speaker at the annual banquet of the
Buffalo chamber of commerce. held In that
city last night. In urging the Importance
of adding the element of elasticity to the
currency system the Secretary said,
While our currency is the most conven-
lent and as safe and stable as any in the
world, 1t does not respond to the varying
needs of seasons and of localities.
IF this element of elasticity is to be
added, something other than bond-secured
circulation must be provided.
Il deem 1t very important that no new
form of money be authorized. 1t Is no i'm
position upon the public to be offered a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS note In lieu of a
note secured by a government bond, but 1t
might alarm the customers OF a bank to
know that conditions justified 1t In resort
Ing to currency taxes at per cent Some
of our worst panics have been sentimental
The element of elasticity must work auto
matically and unobserved; otherwise more
harm than good will ensue.
Il VIII not attempt to apologize for the
barking fraternity, but a willingness to
loan every available dollar has not been
corfined to New York, nor has the DISPOSE
ton to borrow every dollar obtainable been
coEhned to stock spectators.
THE spirit of speculation rife during the
| summer, was fed and intensified by the un-
usual influx of money from the interior and
The west w no Is TO De C6nSuredY The
answer is, All or none The man who
loans to stock SPECTATORS on satisfactory
security Is no better and no worse than he
who loans to the real estate spectators on
satisfactory terms. 1t was well known in
July that money would be scarce in the
| fall.
IF the Treasury Department had not
foreseen what was coming and called in q
fey millions from the deposits then held by
| the banks to be used to relieve this strin-
gency should 1t extend to the prejudice Of
| legitimate business there might be some
slight reason for distrust. i think, how
| ever. the business interests Of the country
understand that the treasury can easily
spare s20,0oe,o00 and more, If necessary. for
| the relief of legitimate business and I
| think 1t is generally understood that Il will
not be released unless business conditions
demand 1t. The responsibility is not a
thing to be coveted. and I. therefore, plead
not for imitation but for such modification
| of our present currency system as viii
cause 1t automatically to expand to meet
| tho increased needs Of varying seasons
and as promptly contract to the legitimate
curbing of unwarranted speculation

THE LOUISIANA A SWIFT SHIP.
Exceeded the Required Speed Almost
Knot

The new battleship Louisiana was sent
ever the mea assured mile course near owl
Head; Me-, yesterday and easily exceeded
the government requiremnts of eighteen
knots an hour. The maximum speed de-
veloped was 1924 knots, and her builders
expressed confidence that the ship can at
tain a speed of nineteen knots. The Louis
lana was sent over the course twelve times.
The first run was made in a drilling rain,
but later the sky cleared and the sea was
almost calm. Five miles were covered at
top speed, but the average rate of speed
was 1851 knots an hour. The maximum
number of revolutions was nearly 126 per
minute and the number necessary to main
tain the required speed of eighteen knots
was estimated to be about 40
The anchor test took place Immediately
after the propeller test and everything
worked smoothly. The Louisiana left Rock

Gurance test, going straight toward Bos-
ton, from Michigan Island. She will land

MORE HAzING AT ANNAPOLIS.
Another Midshipman a Victim of q
Time-Worn FooIerv,

Notwithstanding the sworn testimony of
midshipmen before the Merlwether court
martial that hazing is no longer practiced
at the Naval Academy, Midshfpman Jerdone
p. kimbough Of Germantown, Tenn, was
found IN his room last night unconscious
from having been compelled by upper class
men to stand on his head for ten minutes.
The affair was discovered by the officer in
charge of the building.
Supt. Sands of the academy ordered an
investigation by board of officers who
reported that Midshipman Trenmor Coffin,
jr., of Carson City, New, a member of the
third class, had been connected with the
hazing and Midshipman Warren A. Van
derveer of Mount Holly, n. J., of the sec
ond class, had been on duty and had al
lowed the hazing to proceed The two mid
shipmen were suspended, and within an
hour the recommendation Of the superin-
tendent as to their final punishment was
on its way to the Navy Department Adj
miral Sands declined to state what this rec
ommendation was, but dismissal Is the PEN
atty for hazing, and it Is practically cer-
tain that this was the recommendation in
these cases.
The hazing of young Kimbough has re-
suited in discovering that hazing has been
going on this year with redoubled vigor
While under the pledge to abstain from
81
Brownson, the only form was running
which the nidshipmen differentiated from
hazing. Now, however, the midshipmen
have gone back to hazing by compelling
long continued exercises producing extreme
fatigue and often most dangerous in their
effect. Kimbough WAS compelled to stand
on his head get down and straighten up
again continuously for ten minutes.
An effort was made to get further knowl-
edge from Kimbough, but he has been
stanch and refused to divulge the names
tically caught in the act, however, and Van
derveer was on duty in such a position that
he must have been aware of the proceed
ings.
Midshipman Henry G. Cooper of Oxford
n. c., while in classroom yesterday after
noon, was seized with an almost complete
paralysis of the right side. extending from
head to foot and also partially affecting his
vocal organs. He was removed to the hos
ed 1t he was closely examined as to any
thing he knew which might have caused
his condition. He stoutly denied that he
had been hazed recently and was not able
to give any other explanation which would
account for the attack. Cooper Is much
better today and his complete recovery is
expected.
The affair has also brought to light that
just after the Meriwether court-martial Ad-
miral Sands appointed an investigating
board to look into every academy custom
before this board several days ago and was
compelled to tell some things which offended
the upper classmen., His hazing was evil
IDENTIFY on this account 1t, could not be
learned whether Cooper was before the
board.
