Hereafter the girls and boys can cut"

lessons. This splendid and inspiriting
example will soon be followed. All over

universities are there sore hearts because
certain mighty tackles and halfbacks
arc tyTaRnized by faculties which de-
mand that they shall be able to translate

Under the magnetic leadership Of Vim

It is an old experience for municipal
officers to be asked not TO enforce the rdi-
nanoes because it would disappoint the
public" Something OF the kind happened
at the new Aston Theatre Monday even
ing. The owners Of the house, knowing they
had no ~license, allowed its doors to be
opened. apparently believing that rather
than allow a houseful OF people to be sent
home the Fire Department would let the
play be produced. The municipal authori-
ties showed excellent sense in refusing to
violate the law. They did right in refus-
ing to let the curtain go up. The builder

BY Associated Pre- ss.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 24-The
threats of the reactionary parties that
Jewish massacres will be organized if
the rights of the Jews are enlarged are
steadily becoming more definite.
The central council of the league of
the Russian people. claiming to repre-
sent thirty million people, has issued
a declaration disclaiming responsibility
for the outrages which may result from
the indignation produced by the en-
largement of Jewish rights, and has
published the text of 200 dispatches of
protest sent to the emperor from local
organizations of which the following
is a sample in phrase:
1T is dangerous to further test the
gentleness and patience of the peaceful
Russian population, which may be
forced, i'm its defense against the Jews.
to overstep the limits of law and order
and resort to violence"
The publication of the reforms is GER
tain to result in a final break between
the reactionary and monorchical par
ties and Premier Stolypin's administra-
tion.
A curious story comes from wilma to
the effect that the rabbis of three towns
in that vicinity interceded for three
men, who it is asserted were innocently
condemned to death as terrorists.
The governor it is added, agreed to
spare the lives of the three men If the
rabbis would take an oath publicly in
the synagogue that they believed the
condemned men were innocent. The
rabbis consented and the sentences
were commuted.

One of his attorneys had gone to
court with the intention of paying the
about to be passed across the clerks s
desk when Carusos senior counsel
rushed into the courtroom and brought
the proceedings to q halt.
A consultation between counsel and
the court followed to permit the case
to go over until Monday. In the mean
time Caruso has been paroled in the
custody of his counsel Carusos s
counsel today reiterated the announce
ment made yesterday that an appeal
would be taken.
II saw Mr.. Caruso at his hotel to-
day." said the attorney, "and had him
sign an application for an appeal
which will be asked for Immediately of
one of the judges of the court of gen.
eral sessions. 1t is for one of them to
sign the paper and allow or disallow
the application for an appeal.
"Mr. Caruso felt continued the
lawyer, ''that Magistrate Baker had
treated him very fairly during the
hearing and that his character was be-
ing fully vindicated. 1t was more than
a surprise to him when he heard that
the court found him guilty. The
shock was most terrible to Caruso, who
is highly sensitive man, particularly
as-he had firmly believed the testimony
clearly exonerated him.
Dissatisfaction was also expressed
by the attorney with the maner in
which Deputy Police Commissioner
Mathot had insisted on the introduce
tion of evidence which the counsel for
Caruso claimed was not proper to
come before the court and which, he
said, was introduced, for theatrical
effect and to prejudice the public
against the defendant.
1t is expected that the appeal will
be argued next Monday Caruso's
