CANNOT HELP THE JEWS.
President Roosevelt Sees No Way in
Which he Can Act.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
has decided that no action can be
taken by this government at present
which will be of any benefit to the
Jews of Russia. This information was
made public at the White house today
in the following statement:
oscar Straus called upon the Presi-
dent this morning. not to ask him for
action, but to consult with him as to
whether there was any possibility of
action which would result in a cessa-
ton of the horrors connected with the
massacre of the Jews in Russia.
THE President stated that of course
he had been watching with the deepest
concern the reports of these massa-
cres that he had been appealed to
within the last few weeks to try to
take some action, not only on behalf
of the Jews in Russia, but in behalf of
the Armenians, Poles and Films. The
result of the Presidents inquiries
coincide with statements contained in
a cablegram from Count Witte to Jacob
II. Schiff shown the President by Mr.
Straus as follows:
Inc government is Mortified at
these outrages. You know that | do
not sympathize with such savage out
breaks. All l can do to stop the dis
orders is done, but as the country is
in such an unsettled state the local
authorities are often powerless'
''In the conditions of social disorder
which actually exist in Russia the
President does not see that any action
can be taken by this government at
present which will be of any benefit to
the unfortunate sufferers. for whom we
feel such keen sympathy"

DENVER CAN NOW BUILD HER
BIG AUDITORIUM.
SUPREME COURT DECISION
Bond Issue Can Now Be Provided
For at once-Every Effort to Be
Made to Have Building Ready for
Next Years Conventions.

Next Years Conventions.
Denver,-The State Supreme Court
having yesterday given an opinion, in
the nature of modification and with
drawal of parts of a former opinion on
the auditorium question, the city of
with the p. .iminarles Tor the con
struction of building, and today
meeting of all the organizations
interested will be held with Mayor
Speer. An ordinance will have to be
passed by the Council providing for the
sale of the 100000 bonds and offers of
property suitable for a site called for
and an agreement reached on the most
available spot, after which the Board
of Public Works will be in position to
proceed with the work of construction
A determined effort will be made to
have the building ready for next year.
Several of the directors of the cham
Der of Commerce are in favor of selling
the building owned by that organiza-
tion, at the corner of Fourteenth and
Lawrence streets, and occupying a set
OF rooms in the new auditorium, if it is
decided that these semi-public bodies
can help the city put up the building.
IF the City Council shall direct the
issuance of bonds providing for the an
nual installments of principal so that
the entire debt will be eXtinguished at
the expiration of fifteen years, the
bonds will conform to the question sub
mitted and will meet the requirements
of section s of article II of the consti-
tuition
III this language the Supreme Court
OF Colorado makes an auditorium for
the city of Denver an immediate and
tangible possibility. An opinion rem
dered yesterday morning so modifes
the former opinion of the court that all
that is now necessary to do is for the
City Council to pass an ordinance Gov
ering the courts suggestion and the
bonds issued under such ordinance
will be valid.
The opinion was written by Justice
Robert w. Steele and was by the
court en- banc. 1t was a majority opin-
ion on two points. Chief Justice w. II.
Gabbert, Justice Campbell and Justice
Maxwell dissented from that portion of
the opinion which holds that the city
has right TO erect an auditorium at
public expense, and also from the prop
osition that it is not necessary to re
submit the question to the people.
For more than a dozen years the cit
liens of Denver have been trying to
secure an auditorium Twice they have
voted favorably upon the proposition
and each time had their efforts stayed
by court proceedings. The victory now
is all the more pronounced because of
the hindrances that have preceded it.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
President Roosevelt's Proclamation
Appoints November 3Oth.

Washington.-The President has is
sued his proclamation naming Thurs
day, November 30th next, as day for
thanksgiving. The proclamation fol-
lows:
by the President of the United States
of America, A Proclamation:
When nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great Re
public, they confronted not only hard
ship and privation. but the terrible
risk to their lives. In those grim years
the custom grew of setting apart one
day in each year for special service
OF thanksgiving to the Almighty for
preserving the people through the
changing seasons. The custom has now
become national and hallowed by i'm
memorial usage.
We live in easier and more plentiful
times than cur forefathers. the men
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days; and yet the dangers to
national life are quite as great now as
at any previous time in our history. 1t
is eminently fitting that once year
our people should set apart a day for
praise and thanksgiving to the Giver
of good, and, at the same time. that
they express their thankfulness for the
abundant mercies received, should
manfully acknowledge their shortcom-
ings and pledge themselves solemnly
and in good faith to strive to overcome
them.
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiful crops. Our bus
mess prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
a level as we now stand on. We are
not threatened with foes without. The
foes within are our passions and fol-
lies; and against these there is always
need that we should war.
Therefore, | now set apart Thurs
day, the 3Oth day of this November, as
day Of thanksgiving for the past and
of prayer for the future, and on that
day ask that throughout the land the
people gather in their homes and
places of worship and on the render
ing of thanks unto the Most High for
the manifold blessings of the past year.
consecrate themselves to life of
cleanliness, honor and wisdom, so that
this Nation may do its allotted work
on the earth in a manner worthy of
those who founded it and Of those who
preserved it.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
second day of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and five and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
thirtieth.

BESSIE soUToN's SLAYER.
Kills Another Woman and Then Com
mits Suicide.

San Francisco.-Trapped in his
rooms by the police, and fully aware
that his last avenue of escape had
been barred, Milton Franklin Andrews.
who murdered Mrs. Bessie Bouton on
the top of Cutler mountain, Colorado
Springs, ten months ago., and mur-
derously assaulted and robbed William
Ellis, an Australian horseman at
berkeley, California, Monday night
shot and killed Nulda Olivia, his last
female companion, and then sped a
bullet into his own head, causing in
stant death.
Ihat Andrews, for whom the police
OF the entire country were searching,
was fully prepared for the tragedy that
closed his career, was shown by the
fact that he acted without a moments
hesitation.
Having learned that Andrews and
Nulda Olivia were living in an upper
fiat at 74S McAllister street, the police
department Monday night sent detail
make the arrest.
Although certain that the persons
wanted were in the two-room apart.
ceived no answer to their repeated
kicking on the door.
At the moment one of the officers
was dispatched for an axe with which
the door was broken open, Andrews
fired the shot that ended the career of
his companion.
The bullet was fired into her right
temple and she dropped dead on the
bed, falling backward with her hands
clasped over the breast.
When the officers gained entrance to
the apartment they found Andrews
lying ~ the floor, grasping his re
volver in one hand and a mirror in the,
other.
On pearchins Andrews remains the
coroner's deputies found S130 in gold
and an English sovereign, all the
money that remained of the $500 of
which Ellis was robbed at the time he
was lured by Andrews to the latters
cottage in Berkeley. Considerable
jewelry was also found on him.
A rambling typewritten statement
that had presumably been written by
Andrews. who denied that he had any
thing 10 do with the murder of Bessie
Bouton at Colorado Springs, was found
in. one of the dead woman's stockings.

SLAUGHTER OVER
CARNIVAL OF sLooDsHEp ENDS
FOR LACK OF VICTIMS.
JEWISH QUARTERS SACKED
Unparalleled outraees in Odessa
Mutiated Bodies Line Deserted
Streets - Wholesale Butchery of
Jewish Inhabitants.

SllCClS - WhOlCSdlC SllSfCIy VI
Jewish Inhabitants.
Odessa.-lt is believed that the worst
is over. Owing to the mobs being sat
istied with two days carnival of muir
der and destruction by flame, the re-
volt against law and order is dying
down, partially, perhaps, because of
lack of material upon which to prey.
Almost the entire Jewish quarters Of
Moldavanha, Slobodka and Rugaiovka
are devastated, and their inhabitants
have either been Killed or wounded, or
have sought refuge in other sections OF
the town. The whole fury of the mobs
was directed unchecked against the
Jews.
During the first demonstration over
the Emperors manifesto and the sud
den acquisition of freedom" tens OF
thousands of men who had hated Jews
through generations became drunk
with the desire for Jewish blood,
swarmed into the Jewish sections of
the town and killed for the very joy of
killing. In some instances the military
siiuSu VI prevented lnt WOlh
of vengeance and fury which culmi-
mated Saturday in the quarters men
toned. Every Jew-man, woman or
child, who was caught was slaughtered.
The methods employed in the work of
butchery were 100 revolving for de-
scription. Before Sunday mornings
dawn the material had become ex-
hausted and the men who had for the
nnn1pnt hppnp1n off "a
wrecked sections of the city and,
though sullen, were easily driven back
before the rifles of the infantry.
A trip of investigation this evening
over the Jewish quarters confirmed
the stories of horrors and devastation.
Some bodies, mutilated, of women and
children, We're still unremoved from
the deserted streets. The shops were
closed, and in the wrecked houses
broken furniture was lying everywhere
in heaps.
While it is probable that the total
number of persons killed will never be
known, the number of wounded per-
sons in the hospitals and ambulance
houses affords some guide. The s.
651 wounded reported up to this morn
ing were distributed as follows In the
Jewish hospital, 3.715; in the munich
pal hospitals, 1850; in, the different
ambulance houses, 6S2.
1t has been definitely ascertained
that only 100 of the anti-Jewish mob
We're killed.
At the beginning of the massacres
the students militia rendered some as
sistance and saved many lives, but the
police, it is said, disarmed the stud
entS even in some cases shot them
with their own revolvers.
