TURNING BACK
RUSSIAN JEWS
New York immigration Of
ficials Order Wholesale De-
portations of Foreigners
ALIENS PITIFUL PLIGHT
Fear Murder or Army
Conscription When They
Return to the Fatherland

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--The fall Of
Port Arthur and the likelihood of ex-
tensive military conscription in Russia
have served to drive a horde of Rus
sian Hebrews to the United States. Re-
ports received by Commissioner Gen.
eral Sargent from New York show un-
precedented immigration from Russia
for the month of December and Janu-
ary. The new arrivals are of a most
undesirable class and are being turned
back by hundreds.
Official reports for the month OF
unofficial statements indicate that the
total number of immigrants debarred
at New York during that month was
several times greater than in any other
month in years. Nine-tenths of the
persons to be refused admission were
Russian Jews. They told pitiful stories
to the immigration authorities and
pleaded not to be sent back to Russia.
They all make practically the same
statement, which is that If they are
compelled to return to Russia they will
be murdered. They say they will be
either conscripted and sent to the front
or mistreated and starved to death in
the big cities. Some distressing stories
are contained in the numerous appeals
that are being made to Secretary Met
calf in behalf of the unfortunate for
eigners.
For the most part the aliens are
practically destitute. The total earth
ly possessions of the men and the wo-
men range from rs cents to a few dol
lars each. They invariably are in poor
health on arrival, due to the long and
trying sea voyage. Some of them are
fit subjects for hospitals on reaching
New York. In view of the lack of
money and the poor prospects for OBJ
tanning employment, the authorities
feel compelled to order the deportation
of most of the Jews on the ground that
they will become public charges.
The Washington officials have direct
ed the New York immigration officers
to adhere strictly to the letter of the
law and not permit their sympathies to
be worked upon to the detriment of the
public interest.
The Hebrew Society of New York is
OOluS every llItllS IL Call W dlQ Tic ull-
fortunate foreigners. 1t has provided
attorneys to see that Hebrews are ac-
corded fair treatment and that their ap-
peals to the department are drawn in
proper shape. But the administration
authorities believe there is national
menace in the tremendous influx of
Russians, and while in many cases 1t
seems absolute cruelty to send them
back, there is no other course that can
be followed.

According to the most authoritative
estimates, there are now about 100000
Jews in New York, the total population
OF which in 1903, as estimated by the
Census Bureau. was 3,716, ,139. Perhaps
the Jews may be about one-fifth of the

Pneen others seriously Hurt In Rush

INDIANAPOLIS, April lin a mad rush
from Masonic Hall tonight, caused by
nothing more than hurry to get out OF
the building to the street and attended
by no cause for excitement, four newsboys
were trampled to death and fifteen others
were 10 seriously injured that many OF
them may die.
As the rush continued down the steps
from the second story Of the building
there were heartrendinR cries from the
little fellows who we're being trampled
to death, but those behind continued to
push.
There was but one policeman at the scene,
and II appeartd that he was poWerless to
control the crowd Of several hundred boys
who had met in the hall for the purpose
Of sharing in a free distribution Of tickets
TO an entertainment
Those present represented all ages, from
8 years TO IS, and it was the little fellows
who were caught in the jam after the dis
tribution had taken place and were crushed
TO death.
One little boy not more than ~ years OF
age reached the street before the crush
began When he saw the boys falling
and others trampling them under foot he
rushed into the street and got a brick.
Standing at the edge Of the door he dragged
several out on the sidewalk and with brick
appraised threatened to kill the first one
that trampled upon the PROSTATE forms.
His action detected the crowd as il reached
the sidewalk and doubtless saved many
lives

Until a month ago a man named Brown
had been living with Gorham and Fagen.
The latter, who was slender and in poor
health, did the cooking for the trio while
Gorham and Brown, when funds were low
sought odd jobs Brown got a steady job,
and left his friends. The owner OF the
hovel says that about a week ago Fagen got
a remittance, which he refused TO share
with Gorham, and a quarrel followed. Fa-
gen paid the rent and the landlord left tham
CursinR each other
Since that time neither Gorham nor Fagen
has been seen outside their home, nor hes
any one been seen TO enter IL. This morning
the landlord went to the place and raped
on the door. He got no response He
forced the door open and found both men
dead. A police surgeon was called and

he had about ten seconds to think about

he couldn't get through the jam without
manning or killing his horses by running
into street cars or trucks.

his team to the curb. The horses went
over the aid swRlk and crashed into the
show window Of Betzel's drug store. The
heads Of both horses went through the win
dow and what damage the horses didn't
do was accomplished by the pole Of the ten

the head and neck. The other was not
seriously hurt. Leonard got OF with
