Money to Relieve Russian Jews
BY Associated Press.


PITTSBURG. Dec. 13.--J E. Corey,
uncle OF William Ellis Corey president
of the United States Steel Corpora ton.
isued remarkable letter this after
noon addressed to "The newspaper re-
porters of Pittsburg"
In 1t Mr. Corey tells how his quiet
life had been made miserable by the
demands upon him for information of
his nephew's affairs and says he had
decided to make good use of the addi-
tional Information he possesses.
Mr. Corey tells in his letter of having
recently given 100000 TO the fund for
the relief of the suffering Jews in
Russia and says that more money Is
needed. He says that, inasmuch as the
public likes to read about scandal, they
should be compelled to pay for it.
Says He Is in Earnest
He declares that he has a number of
letters which were exchanged between
himself and Andrew Carnegie, Charles
M. Schwab and E. r. Corey, which he
is ready to hand over to the public for
100000, the total amount to be applied
to the Hebrew relief fund. He does
not care, he says, in what sums the
money is subscribed, or whether it is
made up by one individual, one hun
dred one thousand or a hundred thou
sand.
In giving the letters to the public, in
consideration of the above mentioned
amount, Mr.. Corey says he will guar
antee the contributors that they will
get their moneys worth or their money
will be refunded"
Mr.. Corey was seen after he had is
sued the statement and declared he was
in earnest about the matter.

TELEGRAPH STRIKE WEAkENs
Government Makes Attempt to Re=Es-
tablish Communication
BY Associated Press,


ST. PETERSBURG, Tuesday morn
ing, Dec. IL. via Eydtkuhnen, East Prus-
sia, Dec. 13.--The restoration of cable
communication with points abroad yes
terday lasted only a few hours. Before
midnight it was reported that the cable
was cut and that dispatches must
again be forwarded by courier to the
German frontier. Nevertheless the out
look is clearing.
The government is breathing freer
with a lighting chance that Premier
Witte will yet be able to steer his way
through the rocks which beset his path.
Threat of Il general strike, not being
supported. is going to pieces in spite
of the wild appeals of the union to
stand firm. At Moscow the tie-up re-
mains complete but at many other
places communication has been re-
opened, although in precarious
fashion, as the employees of both the
telegraph and postal services who We're
discharged by wholesale for refusing
to work are cutting the wires wherever
1t is possible to do SO.
Procurator Refuses Release
The real leaders Of the workmen and
other proletariat organizations, realiz-
ing fully their weakness and lack of
preparation for decisive struggle,
have carried the day over the hot
headed strikers aud have easily con-
vinced the majority that it would be
an irretrieVable blunder to prostitute
what they regard as the supreme in
strument for forging n free nation by
using it for a minor issue like re-
dressing the grievances of private in
dividuals.
The workmen's council yesterday
sent a demand TO Count Witte for the
release of M. Krustaleft. Later, the
workmenS delegates called on Procur-
ator Kamishansky and demanded his
release. but the procurator refused
bluntly, saying that the case must be
tried in court. To this the spokesman
of the delegation replied:
"Then we will declare general
strike
"I will not release him If the whole
world strikes" answered the procur-
ator.
Fear Attempt at Release
NJ. Krustaleff is understood to be i'm
prisoned i'm the ST. Peter and st. Paul
fortress, in order. 1t Is said, TO prevent
Nny possible attempt at rescue. which
would only lead TO bloodshed.
The members of Count Witte's cabi-
net deny that the government has en-
tered on the path of reaction, but they
say that the present state of anarchy
cannot go on. PeOple amenaDle To the
laws will he arrested and tried by the
courts.
'If the government really enters on
the path of reaction" said one of the
ministers today, ''it makes the end In
a dictatorship, and YOU may be sure
that at the first evidence OF this Witte
viii step down ana out"
Count Witte takes the ground that
the ministry is only stop-gap TO
trousfar the power into the hands of
