WARSAW SCENE OF HORROR
Eight Killed and a Hundred Wounded
in Riots.
COSSACKS IIRa ON The MOB.
A Remarkable Conflict Between the Respect
able Jewish Socialist Class and the Disreput'
able EIemeut-Crowds of Men and Boys
Witt Axes Smash la the Doors Of Disreput'
able Houses,

Warsaw (By Cable).-The riots be-
tween the classestof Jews continues with
even greater ferocity.
The disturbances continued all day,
and were still in progress late at night.
Eight persons have already been killed
and 100 wounded, 10 seriously. The
damage to property has been consider
able. There has been no pillaging, but
the destruction of the furniture in the
various houses has been absolute.
The mob, armed with axes, smashed
the doors and windows and brought the
furniture out on the streets, where they
broke it into small pieces. The owners
of the furniture in attempting to defend
their belongings were attacked, beaten
and even killed. Knives and revolvers
were used freely and many persons were
terribly injured.
A correspondent spent several hours
in the disturbed district, but did not see
single active policeman. During the
day patrols occasionally appeared, but
they regarded the proceedings as merely
spectators.
The character of the disturbances is
| unprecedented. The whole affair is a
conflict between the respectable Jewish
socialist classes and the disreputable
Jewish element. There are conflicting
stories as to the origin Of the trouble.
One report is to the effect that the re-
spectacle Jews, tired of hearing the
members of their race called keepers OF
disorderly houses, thieves and usurers
and other opprobrious names, resolved,
as the police were receiving brides tor
protecting disreputable houses and per-
sons to take the matter into their own
hands.
Another report has it that Jewish
roughs, in the guise of members OF the
Bund were levying blackmail upon shop
keepers, thus engaging the Socialists. In
any case, the Socialists seemingly de-
ternined on crusade against the unde-
sirable persons of their own race, with
the result that crowds of men and boys
are now systematically running the dis
reputable houses.
Extraordinary scenes were witnessed
when the crowds visited the better sec
ton of the city and demolished apart
ments filled with costly effects. Ward
robes, pianos and mirrors were thrown
out of the windows. The mob in the
streets left open spaces for the falling
articles and then completed the work
of destruction.
In one place a quantity of valuable
jewelry was taken out and deliberately
smashed with stones.
The whole affair was carefully organ
lied. The leaders were supplied with
the addresses of the owners OF dlsrepu-
table houses, and scarcely single resort
in Warsaw escaped destruction.

GREAT FINANCIER DEAD
Alphonse De Rothschild Also a Pillar
thropist.
FAMOUS FOR HIS MANY CHARITIES.
Leading Spirit Of the Bankers Rothsehild In
Their Relations With Governments OF
Euroee-Fiuanced the Indemnity Which
France Paid Germany After the Franco
Pfusslan War.

Paris (By Cable).-Baron Alphonse
de Rothschild, head of the French
branch of the banking house bearing the
name Of Rothschld and governor OF the
Bank of France, died at AGO A. M. OF
acute bronchitis, aggravated by govt,
The eminent fnancier had been sink
ing slowly for many days, but there was
no apprehension that his death was i'm
minent. He first took to his bed two
weeks ago. Several rallies gave prom
Use of his recovery. Two days ago the
Baron began to fail rapidly, and his
condition assumed disquieting form.
Although he kept up an animated con-
versation with members OF his family
and the old servants, the patient became
very weak, and entered upon coma
tosc state in which he died peacefully.
The announcement Of the Baron's death
caused widespread regret, for, besides
his position in the financial world, Baron
Alphonse was known for his lavish char
tiles, one of the latest being the gilt OF
100000 for the erection of working
mems homes.
The funeral will be quite simple, &C
cording to the strict rule of the Roths-
child family, including "a plain coffin,
without mourning tributes. The serv-
ices will be the occasion OF notable
tribute of respect.
A member of a French-American
banking house said:
Baron Alphonse was the leading spir-
it of the Rothschilds in their relations
with. practically all the Governments OF
Europe.
Besides the colossal task of financing
the indemnity which France paid to
Germany after the Franco German War
of 1901, he actively carried on rela-
tons with other Governments. In Italy
these included both the Government and
the Vatican finances.
"The house also has large interests IN
Spain, largely controls Austrla's rail-
road development and held considera-
bic parts of all the old Russian loan IS
sues. The house, however, has not ex-
ercised a controlling influence in the
new Russian loans.
"The large industrial interests of the
house in Russia include the petroleum
fields of Baku. The house has also had
considerable dealings with American Sc
curitics through the Belmonts, J. Pier
pont Morgan and John w. Gates, in
Guiding Louisville and Nashville and the
Atlantic Coast Line transactions, and
also has extensive interests in mines in
California"
Baron Alphonse was member OF the
Academy OF Fine Arts, member OF
the French Institute and commander
Of the Legion of Honor. He leaves two
children-Baron Edouard and Baroness
Beatrix. He has two surviving broth
.rs-Baron Gustav and Baron Edmond.
President Loubet, Premier Rouvier
and many other officials, hnanciers and
diplomats called at the Rothschild resi-
dence during the day to express their
condolences with the family.
Trading on the Bourse opened with
out perceptible decline. The markets
showed some hesitation, but the an
nouncement of the death of Baron Al
ohonse de Rothschild produced little
effect upon values.
