ST. observation-disclosures advices from
Kishineff say that street fighting continues
there. Roughs sacking the Jewish shops,
killing or wounding many of the inmates.
1t is said that over a score of soldiers have
been killed. The Jewish selfdefense COM
mittee is active in organizing resistance to
the troops. According to details of the dis
orders at Kishineff September 4th received
by the Ministry of Interior the ARRAY, al
though originating in an attempt OF the
authorities to dispense demonstrations at the
funeral of Jew, developed into a combat
between Jewish manfestants and Socialistic
worlmen and mob of rowdies and anti
Semitics. The official dispatch does not
mention the persons being killed, and it is
believed there were fatalities. Accord
ing to the dispatch the police did not inter-
fere with the parade so long as it was or
derby, but when red flags appeared and revo-
lutiOnary cries were heard, the police and
troops commenced to dispense the manifest
ants, who answered with revolver shots,
which attracted a great crowd and a racial
fight began. Among the wounded were three
policemen who were stabbed. Order
quickly restored and thereafter all was quiet
About seventy persons were wounded.
At the recent special meeting of the
Municipal Council of St. Petersburg, the
question was considered of employing Jew

Another lawyer, Herr Bernstein of Elizabeth

Lawyers, who some years ago embraced the
Protestant religion, has informed the Crown
Rabbi that he has again become a Jew. In
his letter he says: Il have never practced
the prescribed ceremonies OF the Protestant
Church. On the other hand have not for a
moment ceased to feel Jew at heart and
to share the spiritual life of my sOrely-tred
people" 1t is likewise interesting to note
