MANY WOMEN INJURED
Crowd Was Mostly Made UP Of Jewish
Socialists, Who Had Assembled
on the Pretext Of Holding
Memorial Meeting.

Warsaw. April A serious conflict.
occurred at 1880 O'Clock in Dzika street,
where a Jewish socialist society. known
as the Bund, had organized a demon
stration. Troops which came to dis
perse the gathering fired into the
crowd, killing four persons and wound
ing forty others.
Other disturbances are reported to
have occurred. The streets had been
patrolled throughout the day.
Conditions here are causing much UNI
eaSiness and nervousness. Hand print
ed proclamations have been found in
the streets warming the public against
walking near public buildings and 9TH
er places, as bombs would be thrown
into these quarters. Several parents
whose children are attending school in
defiance of the school strike have been
warned by letter to withdraw their
children, as the school buildings will
be blown up. Representatives of the
party of violence Git is not quite clear
whether they are revolutioniSts or So
cialists) are visiting private persons
and levying contributions for "ammu-
nton." They produce lists of names
with the amounts to be collected from
each, and request the contributor to
sign his name opposite these assess
ments, which range from $3.50 to $3.50.
When Governor MaXimotNitch ar
rived here ten days ago to assume his
duties he ordered that the Cossack de-
tachment awaiting him at the station
be retired, saying he did not want an
escort. Driving through the city to-
day, however, the governor generals

Cossacks.

memorial meeting for a late Jewish
socialist leader, a crowd of more than
1000, mostly Jews. carrying red flags,

by a mixed police and military patrol
of twenty men. The police declare the
socialists fired revolvers at them, the
leader melting the mob to attack the

More Criticism of stoessel.

Portland, Ore, April A. Ters-
chinin. civil governor of Port Arthur,
before the surrender. passed through
Portland en- route to Russia.
Verschinin bitterly resents the sur
render which he believes could have
been postponed two months. The sur
render, releasing 100000 japanese and
an immense amount of artillery. was
responsible for the defeat at Mukden.
The former governor has poor
opinion of Stoessel, whom he rates as
inferior to several generals beneath
him. The two generals to whom he
gives the credit are Smirnoff and kon-
dratenko.
