THE MASS MEETING
Big Crowd Looked for at City Hall
 Sunday Afternesn.

There promises to be big attend ance at the mass meeting in City hall Sunday afternoon called by the He. brews of the city to protest against Russian barbarity. A number of good speakers will he present. A friend Of fhe movement has received the follow ing letter which shows what the He brews are suffering in the old coun. try:
 '.Meiistopol, May 13, 1905.
 T will endeavor to describe to you to the best of my ability how this anti- Jewish riot began i'll our city. Several days previous to the Greek Catholic Easter rumors were ill circulation to the effect that Jews were to be mur- dered on Easter Sunday at an appoint. ed hour. The authorities were melting the riot by publicly announcing that such is the will of the czar.
 "On the morning of the day the riot took place I was on my way to work when I noticed strange activity among some of the populace of the city. Sud- denly at the appointed hour the fire alarm sounded and the church bells be- gan to chime This was to notify the populace that the time for rioting had arrived and like swift lava from powerful volcano the mob swarmed upon the Jewish quarters and began pillaging and murdering. Feather beds were ripped open and the feathers filled the entire neighborhood. Reich $ pharmacy was descended upon next. and. not satisfied with smashing the windows, they began to demolish ev- erything inside. The goods found there were thrown outside, where the wives and children of the rioters car ried them away. Reich was armed with a revolver, but what could he do. single handed. against a mob of sew eral hundred ruffians? Another section of the mob attacked and pillaged the synagogue.
 Simultaneously several fires broke out in different sections of the city, the rioters making it their business to carry off the goods from the stores be- fore setting them afire.
 "Who knows where the mob would stop had it not been for the brave work of some noble young men who were previously organized in q society for self defense? Few as they were | IL NuS tHOuSH tU NhCSh thC VhcauushS to some extent. This society for self defense was our only salvation. What ever was saved was due to their heroic l efforts.
 | Tt is impossible to describe the spectacle after the roting ceased. Wounded men and women were to be found everywhere. Not one store owned by Jew remained unharmed; some of them burned to the ground. AS for myself I can say that only by Q miracle did I escape death. My skull was fractured and my head is still In | bandages. It was a catastrophe that | you, our brothers, living ill free and civilized country, can hardly imagine. am too sick to write more just now. ! would like to add. though, that i'm mediate financial aid Is absolutely necessary to save some of the poor. robbed and abused inhabitants from starvation and I appeal through you | to all Russian Jews in America to do your uttermost in this direction" YOUR FRIEND"

IERonE HAS REPORT
Governor Will Back Up Prose ecution
 of Equitable

ALBANY, \. Y., June Ex-Governor Higgins has seat copy of the Hen dricks report on the Equitable Life As surance society to District Attorney Jerome, with the promise that he would cooperate with the local prose. cutor in any criminal action that Mir. Jerome might find justified.
 Attorney General Mayer has ordered his full. force of assistants to be pre- pared to take up the Equitable report, and he will without delay prepare to sue in the supreme court for an ac- counting and restitution and for the removal of the accused officers and directors.
 Revealed by the report of Mir. Hen dricks, 1t became known that on the payroll of the Equitable Life Assur- ance society at a salary of $25,000 a year is still carried the name of E. w. Lambert, late chief medical director, who has been dead for thirteen months.
 In the same list are three other names-G. H. Squire, E. Curtis and J. Loring-who for long time have been out of the employ of the society. One of these draws yearly salary of $20,000, another S15,000 and the third $3.5OO. No clear explanation wts of fered concerning this condition, but in the case of the man long since dead it was said that possibly the S25,0OO a year was being paid in the form of a pension to his widow.
 Superintendent Hendricks at Syra- cuse said that he had just begun his probing into the Equitable society and that there were other serious abuses to be uncovered.
 August Belmont, it is learned, has sent to Grover Cleveland his resigna- ton from the Equitable board.
 In discussing the Hendricks report the governor said:
 ''I have not sufficiently examined and no man could determine in one reading just what future action is de- sirable. We at the present time have many idNs tldl II Nouiu sctiii llOui d casual examination have been violated some very old. older than our own, Thou shalt not steal for instance.
 Honesty and fair deal" continued the governor. 'are the things much needed in insurance management Mu- tualization may improve conditions in the Equitable, but it cannot correct them altogether. I think that the in- vestments of life insurance companies should be standardized"
 Mir. Hyde. interviewed at New York in regard to the Hendricks report, said. Really I have nothing to say"
 Hyde's counsel said. Tt is a political document and filled with claptrap and buncombe."
 NIT. Tarbell said. "My idea of 1t is that no guilty man should be permit. tel to escape the punishment he de serves"
 Mir. Jerome said: T have received Mir. Hendricks report. My action will be based upon his findings"
 .Brayton Ives said. .The conclusions of Superintendent Hendricks are fully justified"
 Silent as the bronze statue of the founder of the society which stands in the main arcade on Broadway were the principal officers of the Equitable Life Assurance society. The report of Superintendent of Insurance Hen dricks fell like a bombsheIl among them

NOT TO HANG TO-DAY.
Hrs. Rogers, Cendsmnsd For hufdsr.
 Gets Rsprievs.

BRATTLEBORO, Vt, June 23.-A reprieve until Dec. 8 next for Mrs. Mary NJ. Rogers, the condemned mur- deress, has been signed by Governor Charles J. Bell, and for the third time the woman who was to have been hanged at Windsor today for killing her husband has been saved through the operation of the governors power of staying the execution.
 The present reprieve was granted In order that the case may be carried to the supreme court of the United States on constitutional questions which were raised at a hearing before Judge Hoyt H. Wheeler. sitting as justice of the United States circuit court. Mrs. Rog- CTS attorneys petitioned for her rs- lease on a writ of habeas corpus.
 The court declined to grant the peti- ton, but suggested that the points of law raised by the petitioner were such as to be passed upon by the supreme court of the country. The refusal of the judge to grant the writ was at once followed by the filing of an appeal. Judge Wheeler thereupon announced that he would render hls decision upon the question of appeal immediately in order to give Governor Bell an oppor- tunity to reprieve Mrs. Rogers.
 He therefore gave the attorneys te understand that he would grant the appeal and intimated that he would remand Mrs. Rogers to the custody of the United States marshal, which would in effect bring about her execu- tion provided Governor Bell did noe sign reprieve.
 Later Judge Wheeler received | teIe. graphic message from Governor Bell announcing that Mrs. Rogers had been reprieved. The judge at once signed the paper which gave Mrs. Roeers the legal right to have her case heard by the supreme court of the United States.
 sherin Peck went to the state prison at Windsor this morning and read tho reprieve fo Mrs. Rogers.
 The scaffold. which had been prepars d for the execution for some time. was taken down today.
 After signing the reprieve Governor Bell in an interview said: There is nothing more to be said now. You know we an have to change our minds"

HAY AT WORK AGAIN.
Japan Would Assent to Armistice
 Only on Russia's Request.


 Only on Russia's Request.
 WASHINGTON. June 23.-rn oficial and diplomatic circles the return of the president was awaited with great interest because of the understanding that in case there has been any new definite step in the peace negotiations it would be announced in a statement from the White House on his return.
 Secretary Hay had a number of ca blegrams from Tokyo and St. Peters burg. which he took to the White House. and a conference on the gen eral situation and the outlook for an armistice followed. In the absence of the president all information on the subject has been withheld at the state department.
 Despite their strong belief that 1t would greatly further the cause of peace if the belligerents would avoid clash between their armies pending the Washington conference. the presi- dent and Secretary Hay are aware of the wish of Japan that before assent ing to an armistice she receive more definite assurances regarding Rus sia's intentions.
 Mr. Takahira. the Japanese minister. is expected to return to Washington today. and Sir Mortimer Dursnd. the British ambassador. and Baron Speck von Sternburg. the German ambassa- dor. will be in Washington tomorrow.
 It is officially stated here that Count CassinL the retiring Russian ambessa- dor. will not participate in the peace negotiations. but will leave the United states immediately on the arrival of Baron Ro<en. his successor.

While the total of appropriations is, in
| round figures, & 500 more than last year,
the board has taken great care and spent
| much time in making them as small as
possible. ''S r. wv 7
The rock-crushing fund has been in
creased $3.50. Mayor Hagerthy believes
in doing few things and doing them
well, and good work on the roads is one of
the few things; hence the increase.
The increase in the other appropriations
is for the same reason. The appropriation
for sidewalks was increased 300, but it
was deemed necessary. Several new walks
will have to be built, and many of the
concrete walks will have to be recoated.
To Offset this the appropriations for the
highway fund has been cut $500; the
police fund 500, and last, but not least,
the discount on taxes has been done
away with. This years taxes will have to
be paid before August without the dis
count, and if they are not paid by that
date interest will be charged.
Bids for the cullectorship were presented
but not made public. James A. McGown
asked several questions relative to the
matter, but did not submit bid.
The aldermen finally took a recess until
Friday evening at 7.30.
