HORRORS AT BIALYST0K ARE
INDESCRIBABLE
Hundreds Of MangIed Bodies Found
Which, After Death, Have

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1s-The
embargo on news from BiaIystok was
lifted today and the Associated Press
staff correspondent was for the first
time allowed to telegraph directly from
the sacked city picture of the scene
of ruin and desolation left in the wake
of the mob.
According to frequent bulletins or
der was restored and maintained
throughout the day in spite of the i'm
centive to disorder at funerals, which
were in progress almost the whole days
but the atmosphere is supercharged
and a slight event may suffice to pre-
cipitate renewal of street fighting.
The authorities apparently realize
this and hope to avert such a catas-
trophe by show of force. On one oc-
casion the whole garrison was called
out on some alarm and the streets
were literally packed with troops and
artillery until the danger was passed.
Story Is Dreadful One
The story told by the Associated
Press correspondent is a dreadful one.
but there are Indications that he has
been prevented by the censorship from
relating further details about the con-
dition of corpses, the utter bestiality
or the mob and the inability of the
troops to cope with the excesses dur
ing the first days of the rioting
1t is evident from the dispatches that
the excesses assumed the character Of
a three cornered fight between the mill
tary, the mob and armed members of
the Jewish bund, who instead of sub
mittfng passively to slaughter, as their
unarmed co-religionists have done
heretofore, carried the war into the
enemy's camp and fought bravely.
though without aff1icting appreciable
loss on the troops, among whom no
serious casualties have been reported.
Horrible Details Sent Out
Horrible details have been sent out
by the correspondent of the Bourse Ca
zette, who managed to send his story
by a messenger Sunday afternoon. The
correspondent who accomnan,ed
Stchepkin directly to the hospital, es-
corted by corporais guard, says he
was utterly unnerved by the sights he
witnessed there.
Merely saying that the corpses were
mutilated." the correspondent writes.
fails to describe the awful scenes. The
faces of the dead have lost all human
semblance and the corpses simply are
crushed masses of flesh and bone, soak
ing in blood.
1T is impossible to conceive of such
bestiality. The corpse of Teacher
Aptzein lay in the grass with the hands
tied.
I'm the face and eyes had been ham,
mered three-inch nails. Rioters en-
tered his home and after fearful OUT
RACES killed him thus, and then MUIR

When the corpse arrived at the hos

thrusts.
Beside the body of Apsten lay the
corpse of child of 10 years whose leg

WEALTHY JEWS
DISCUSS PLANS
Great Britain May Be Asked to
Bring Pressure to Bear on RUS
sia In the Near
Future
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, June 1S.-Leadng Jews of
this city met yesterday to discuss the
situation at Bialystok and the possi-
bility of bringing pressure to bear on
the Russian government.
Later In the day Lord Rothschild
called at the foreign Office and dis
cussed the matter with Foreign Secre-
tary Grey.
Lord Rothschild, in an interview af-
terward. said the matter was a
delicate one and that nothing had been
finally decided upon. Sir Samuel Mon
tague. however. said he had hopes that
the government would intervene. The
government, Sir Samuel said, did not
favor financial pressure upon Russia,
because 1t would adversely affect
French holders of Russian bonds.
The London newspapers this morning,
especially the government organs, while
approving of Foreign Secretary Grey's s
cautious replies in the house Of COM
mons yesterday, consider it distinctively
a case for the powers to intervene, re-
calling President Roosevelts memorial
protest with regard to the Kishinev
massacre, and in any event consider
that unless the Russian government
takes proper steps in the matter it
would not be right for Great Britain to
make a naval determination.

Relief Parties Rushed to Field In
Rialto District In Efforts to
Avert Crops Total
Destruction
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press,
SAN BBRNARDINO, juno 1s-Fire
destroyed 1000 acres Of barley southwest
of Rlalto originally belonging to the
Globe Farming company and now to
the Fontana Land and Water company,
composed of local capitalists. which a
few weeks since took over the stock
of the Fontana Development company
and the Globe Farming company.
Among the local and Cotton people who
are large shareholders are II. e. Harris.
E. D. Roberts. N. b. Glasgow, W. w.
Wilcox, E. J. Eisenmeyer, Attorney
Thomas F. Keefe and others.
The blaze burned over thousands Of
acres of stubble and much uncultivated
land. 1t broke out Independently early
yesterday, and but for the strenuous
efforts made to save the fields of the
Fontana company. perhaps 5000 acres
would have been consumed.
1t was started right where the har-
vesting force was at work, and with
frightful rapidity spread through the
acres of golden grain waiting for the
harvester. 1t was instantly appreciated
that a great fire was threatening, and
hurry-up calls for help were sent along
the lines of the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe, the former responding with
100 men from Cotton and along the
track, while the Santa Fe sent all the
section men available.
Volunteers Turn Out
Rialto turned out almost unanimous
ly, all but the packing houses being
deserted.
The first move was to hitch the big
traction thresher to a gang plow, and a
row Of burrows was laid across the field
some distance below where the fire
started while the quickly gathered
force began to back fire from these fur
rows. In this way the flames were pre-
vented from crossing the line thus
drawn and the remainder of the field
was saved.
Much of this same tract would have
been harvested yesterday but for the
unfortunate blaze, which causes the
corporation a heavy loss.
The grain was insured for $40 per
acre, but this is stated to be less than
half of the value of the grain destroyed.
1t was running better than twenty
sacks to the acre. 1t is figured the
loss will be more than 10000, with in
surance for about half that amount
Another big fire started yesterday
morning on the west side of the Santa
Fe tracks in Cajon pass, in the vicinity
of Glen Helen ranch. AS the wind was
blowing strongly from the north, it kept
the flames from reaching the cultivated
lands of the Glen Helen ranch and the
Kenwood heights.
This morning the fire was reported
out.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
DENVER, Col, June 1S.-The Gun
nell mining claims in Gilpin county,
the oldest worked mining property in
the state, having been located many
years before the civil war, are a sub
ject of controversy in a big suit before
the United States district court.
Mrs. Virginia Kimber of Santa Bar
bara, Cal, is suing Frank r. Young,
an investment agent formerly of this
city, for $4,000 and interest, said to be
due on bonds.

the mines and when he died in 1899 had
large mill running on the ore from
them. He had authorized Young to sell
them at $350,000, who, after Kimher' s
death, organized a company, which
purchased the mines, paying the
widow $125,0OO in cash and $4,000 in
bonds.
The interest coupons on these bonds
have been paid but once since 1900
and Young refusing Mrs. Kimber's de-
mands for overdue interest. she now
sues for their face value with interest
to date.
