FIRST MAIL STORY TELLING HORRORS
OF THE TERRIBLE MASSACRE IN ODESSA

Opposite my house the mob
broke into three Jewish stores, a
grocers' shop, haberdashery store
and household utensil store.
Everything was thrown pell-mell
into the street, where bowling
horde of men, women and children
gathered armfuls of the goods and
made off, only to return in a few
moments for more. The people be-
decked themselves with collars and
cuffs, played on tin dishes and
fought one another for the best
parts of the loot. All the time they
kept bowling ITO hill with the
Jew dogs"
Everywhere in Odessa on Thurs
day there were similar scenes. The
mob made no difference between
small shopkeepers and large. So
long as the proprietors were Jews
no stores were too small or too
large for the mob to ransack.
In the streets, hundreds of men
staggered along, their backs piled
high with all manner of pillaged
materials. Beautiful paintings, eX-
quisite carvings, everything from
cheap tin coffee pots to works of
art for a millionaires house, were
carried away by the mob. At first
the port was made the depository
of the loot. Men, women and chill
dren piled their pilfered goods to-
gether, returned into the town for
more, and then, securing wagons,
took their loot home.
Thursday night there were wild
orgies in the town. The homes Of
the workingmen were filled with
the days loot, and homes that had
never before seen 500 worth Of
furnishings held goods worth thou
sands of dollars. Women in rags
wore over their shoulders furs of
Russian sable, and had on thai
heads hats costing $50 each.
Jewels were pinned to their
dresses, and they sat down in deep
leather chairs in luxury that had
never come to them in their wild
est dreams. With their men, the
women drank liquors, champagne
and expensive wines, consuming
bottle after bottle, steadily, until
at last overcome by drunken stu
por, they fell asleep, on the floor,
in pools of wine and with the loot
tumbIed about in tagIed heads.
The respectable people of Odes-
sa slept little that night, waiting
in dread for the day to dawn.

R. T. Flemming Staff Correspondent of the Newspaper
Enterprise Association, Who Was an Eyewitness to
the Sack in Which 5000 Jewish Men, Women and
Children Were Slain, Writes the Awful Account Of
This Worst Of Modern Reigns of Terror

People gathered about the barri-
cades, curiously watching the
school boys, as people in an Amer
lean city watch a horde of univer-
sity men parading a city street
after football match. Only a few
offered to help the scholars, when
suddenly a battalion of soldiers APP
peared, and at once opened fire on
the barricades. The school boys
turned and ran, leaving in the
streets numbers of killed and
wounded.
The incident cooled the desire of
the students for active resistance
but they continued making infiam-
matory street speeches, particular
ly the Jew students. until Wednes-
day, Nov. !, when at II o'clock in
the morning, news arrived from ST.
Petersburg that the czar had given
in to the demands of the revolu-
tionists and had granted a consti-
tuition.
Immediately the streets became
the scene of the widest enthusi-
asm. Strangers Rugged and kissed
one another, people shouted and
sang, and students, carrying red
flags, boarded the street cars and
made the passengers uncover and
cheer for the new Russia.
There began to gather an omin-
Gus anti-semitic feeling, that ran
like fire through the city. 1t was
fed by the Jew students, who went
about claiming that it was they
who had given Russia her free

CALIFORNIA STILL THE GLORIOUS

PRODUCTION IN THE UNITED
STATES FOR YEAR is VAL.
uED AT OVER SeO,ooo,ooo, A
100000 INCREASE OVER
FORMER YEAR-WHERE THE
YELLOW METAL CAME FROM.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25.-
The gold produced in the United
States, during the year for which
the government has just completed
its figures, is announced as $685.
4S0 ounces.
This gold, if brought together
and nodded into an equilateral
cube, would make a solid block
six feet six inches high and the
same dimensions on its sides.
The value of this block of gold
is about SS0S35,64S.

er in gold production. More than
100000 worth more than last
year is the increase. The best pre-.
vious year was 1902, when the out.
put was about sS0,000,O00. The fol
lowing year the output sagged to
$73 100000, where it stuck until
this new boom started.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-11-25

The 134R odd tons of gold which
the United States adds to the gen.
eral supply in year is not likely
to cheaper the value of this pre-
cious metal, or to reduce the pur-
chasing power of a gold dollar to
any appreciate extent.
A large amount of gold is lost
to the world every year. 1t is esti-
mated by experts that hundreds of
pounds of gold are annually wasted
by the abrasion of gold coins.
A certain amount is lost by the
loss of coins, in water and other
places where they are not likely tC
be recovered. Then large volume
of gold passes every year into the
arts.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-11-25

The moderate increase in the
production of gold in Alaska is re-
ported to be due chiefly to an in
crease in the production of the
quartz mines. Nome slightly re-
duced its output, which is estimat-
ed at $4,064,604. The newly-discov-
cred placers of the Tanana river
yielded about 100000. The quartz
mines on the coast are said to be
in a fiourishing condition and yield.

The gold-producing area of Cali
fornia is extremely large and in,
cludes "a out of the 81 counties
Seven counties produced each over
$1,000,000 and two COUNTIES over
100000.
The increase from quartz mining
amounts to $1,404,49 and from
dredging to $711,2S9.
The Cripple Creek region in Col
orado has a production for the pas
year reported as $14,504,350. Thi:
is million and half above the
year before.
Idaho, which shows an increase
of third of a million over the

Russian flags they could find.
Russians addressing each other
in the streets, SAID:
What is this, little brother,
freedom?'
Yes, freedom; but freedom for
us Russians, not for Jews"
This kind of talk, by the Jews
on the one hand and by Russians
on the other, continued throughout
Wednesday. In the afternoon it
was reported that a general mas
sacre of Jews was being planned,
and the latter began to show fear.
Wednesday evening the rough
element in Moldavanka, Peresik
and other suburbs of Odessa start
ed the murderous work. They loot
ed a number of Jewish shops, in
juring several Jews who attempted
to protect their property.
Thursday morning, November 2,
the news of what had happened in
the suburbs the night before spread
through Odessa and drove the peo-
pie of the city mad with excite
ment. Then began the slaughter,
men rushing through the streets
like Maloys amok, carrying revolv-
ers and knives and Strengthening
every Jew they encountered. 1t
was a chaos of destruction. Mobs
gathered together at the port, and
then made for the nearest Jewish
shop, breaking through the doors
and windows and destroying every
thing they could not carry away.
Death to the dirty Jews. do not
leave any alive!" chanted the rab-
bic as it marched thousands strong
. through the streets. The mob did
not need intOXicants to inf1ame it;
it was already drunk with excite
ment and rage, and whenever spirit
shops were looted the men drank
incredible quantities of vodka with
no visible effect.

ODESSA, Nov. 25.-The first
days of the general strike in Rus
STA gave no warning TO the people
of Odessa of the awful massacre
and reign of terror which was to
follow. There was no general
strike in the city, the shops were
open, and hardly anyone, apart
from the railway employees, had
stopped work.
The city was peaceful and calm
to Sunday, OCTOBER 90. Then riot
ing was started by the students.
Young boys and girls out for a
lark more than anything else went
through the streets singing songs
and generally conducting them
selves as school boys do all over
the world, when they are excited.
Many of the most intelligent of
the students were Jews, and they
collected crowds at the street cor.
ners, delivering fiery speeches
against the car and for liberty.
The people listened to the Jew
ish orators, some with stolid indif-
ference and other obviously in
famed by the oratory.
AT last the students, carried
away themselves by their own
speeches, made a rush for num-
