DRUNKEN MOBS
BUTCHEREO JEWS
AT Bialystok Says
Correspondent ---
Terrible Scenes.
BODIES TORN TO PIECES
By Fiendish Pursuers Who
Were Not Satisfied With
Merely Staying Victims.

Grodno. Russia, June 2O.-Owing to
the refusal of the censor at Blalystok
to permit free telegraphing regarding
the result of the investigation OF the
massacre of the Jews there, the cor
respondent OF the Associated Press
came here. The anti-Jewish rioting
at Bialystok Is now ended. Troops
are in full control and in view of the
outcry raised it is certain that the au-
thorities will not permit a renewal OF
the horrors recently witnessed at
Bialystok.
Terrible Scenes Of Drunken Mobs.
When correspondent arrived at
Bialystok Sunday morning the worst
was over but on all sides was the re-
voting evidence of the savage bestial-
ty on the part of the blood drunken
mobs which sacked and burned the
Jewish houses, shops and stores.
For seventy-two hours with slight
abatement during the day time the
mad orgie of blood and pillage went on
unchecked At first the troops urged
the mobs on but finally when dismayed
by the bloody deeds accomplished they
reluctantly sought to obey orders from
the superior TO end the massacre, the
roughs were so far beyond control
that a number of regiments had to be
thrown into the city to restore order.
Troops Watched Awful Massacre.
During the rioting the Jews we're
hunted down by ferocious pursuers
who In a majority Of cases were not
satisfied with killing their victims but
tore them to pieces like wild animals,
and while this was In progress the
troops stood idly by or as was more
frequently the case fired into the
houses where the Jews were concealed
under the pretext that they believed
they were revolutionists. While 1t Is
impossible to give the exact figures
it is known approximately that 100
Jews and twenty Christians were killed
and 15o Jews and seven Christians
were wounded.
The question Of the origin of the
massacre was investigated. Although
many Jews denied the bomb throwing
at the Corpus Christi procession Thurs
day, the fact that a bomb was thrown
is established beyond a doubt but the
question of who threw 1t is unsettled.
Accounts of impartial witnesses, how
ever demonstrate that an insulting cry
enaged the Jews who attacked the
religious procession. Then from one
end of the city to the other the police
spread the report of the attack, thus
tanning the religious fanatlcism of
the Christians and setting loose the
worst elements upon the Jews. The
Jews at first fought with revolvers
and bombs and with these weapons a
majority of the Christian victims
were killed but the Jews were soon
overwhelmed and fed for shelter. All.
though 1t is freely charged that the
higher authorities of Bialystok deliber.
ately organized the massacre or if
This were not the case, that 1t was
'arried out under orders from st.
Petersburg but there is no evidence
to support either charge.

APPRECIATE MUSIC
IN FAR WEST
kubelik Says That countrys Audi
ences Have Fine Instlnct-Compll-
ments President.

London, June 20.--"My pleasantest
single experience in America" says
Jan Kubelik, the famous violin virtu
oso, who has just returned here with
s250,00O In Yankee money as -the mel
result of his tour of $4,000 miles, twas
my performance at the White House
to an audience Of about twenty persons
one of whom was President Roose
velt.
"The President gave me autograph
signed copies of his books, including
The Rough Riders These l shall al
ways treasure.
What struck me about the Presi
dent, who has nervous alertness, was
his pronounced natural instinct fol
music. This I found also in surpris
ingly marked degree among audiences
in the backwoods of America and in Lit
tie towns like Joplin, Missouri. The
people, though few have any trained
knowledge of music, had the trues
instincts and the most sensitive artis
tic feelings l have perhaps ever met
| attribute this to the fact that they
are always living In direct touch witt
nature. Mentally and spiritually they
are simple, but they are far from be
ing ignorant.
"They formed q great contrast tt
many fashionable audiences In tht
cities, where art is largely slave tt
fashion and where there are many
very many people trained in technica
music, but with no souls, no instinct
for its beauties or Its meaning.
Il loved those far western audiences
because with their rugged surround
ings they were natural.
Now am going to take short res
and then go to Australia"

FOR PROTECTION OF
MOUNTAIN SHEEP
New York Geological Society Offers
Reward for Violation Of Game
LaWs--Warden Griffin Acts.

Game Warden W. E. Griffin is max
ing an effort to preserve the herd of
mountain sheep In the Guadalupe
Mountains in Eddy County, and which
Is said to be the only herd In the Ter.
ritory. His attention was called to the
fact that people living In that vicinity
had been killing them in spite of the
heavy fine and Imprisonment which
is provided by law In case of convic-
tion,
The Territorial game laws do not
provide that reward may be paid for
the conviction of anyone found guilty
Of shooting mountain sheep or other
game which is protected. Thinking
that reward of this kind would be
an incentive and probably result In
the conviction of violators of the law
protecting mountain sheep, Game War
den Griffin entered into correspond
ence with the New York Geological
Society, knowing that the society was
interested In the preservation of such
game, and the success with which he
met Is shown by the following letter!
New York, June 18th, 1906.
W. E. Griffin, Esq.
Department of Fish and Game.
New Mexico.
Dear Sir:
In further answer to your favor of
May 9Th, I have, upon the suggestion
Of DR.. Palmer, Of the Biological Sur
vey In Washington, arranged to offer
two rewards Of $50 each to anyone
for conviction for killing a mountain
sheep contrary to law in Texas or New
Mexico.
These amounts aggregating In all
800, for this purpose, will be paid by
the New York Geological Society upon
the certificate of your department.
Will you be kind enough to give this
matter wide publicity and oblige,
Yours very truly,

ARIZONA BOARD
OF EQUALIZATION
To Meet in Phoenix on June 29.--Mat-
ters for Discussion and Ar
rangement.

Auditor John II. Page, Of Arizona,
has called meeting Of the Territorial
Board Of Equalization and Of the coun-
ty boards of equalization for June 20
in Phoenix for the purpose Of consid-
ering the equalization of assessments
of taxable property. The auditor states
the object Of the call in the following
letter:
"The Governor has suggested that
an informal conference OF the mem
bers of the various county boards of
equalization in the Territory with
members of the territorial board of
equalization, before the time fixed
by law for the equalization by the
county boards and territorial board,
would result in much good. Our sys-
tenn Of taxation involves the exercise
of certain functions lodged in various
officers and boards. They are all
distinct but all have a common pur.
pose, that Is, the fair valuation Of all
property in the Territory for the pur
pose of taxation. 1t will be readily
seen that inequalities may, as they do
occur by reason of the independent
action OF the various taxing officers
A conference of all from the differ
ent parts OF the Territory would tend
to greater uniformity and consequent
In, hn
equal valuations.
"The members of the territorial
board very kindly signified their will
ingness to attend such a conference
THE assessors Of a majority of the
counties met at Phoenix last Febru.
airy in conference upon the subject of
their duties and it is thought that
much good was accomplished at the
meeting and consequent interchange
OF views upon the subject.
Acting upon the suggestion of the
Governor, have the honor to ask that
you join the members of the various
county boards of equalization and the
members Of the territorial board OF
equalization in general conference
upon the subject Of taxation, to be
held at the Capitol at Phoenix on
June ~. JOHN H. PAGE,
Territorial Auditor"
Something similar might be done in
New Mexico with great propriety; the
deliberations and the conclusions of
such meeting while not law would
nevertheless have good effect in the
right direction.
