Slaughter and Pi.Iaga

Riot Started With Murder of Police

Saturday Night-5uldngs
Are Burning.

st. Petersburg September 10.-The pre-
dletion made in these dispatches on Au-
gust % of a Jewish massacre at Siedlec,
Russian Poland, unhappny has been Jus
tilted by the fighting which broke out
Saturday night and developed yesterday
into a carnival of indiscriminate slaugh-
ter and plllage in which the soldiery and
the mob took part. Unfortunate Jews
were shot and bayonetted in the streets
of the town. Houses and shops were
broken into and sacked. Valuables were
carried off and offered for sale by SOL
diers to passengers on passing trains.
In addition to the Jews. number of
Christians and even some officers met
their death In the fighting. The number
of victims has not yet been established.
but conservative estimate places it at
40. The Jewish fugitlves who thronged
the railroad stations at Siedlec are in
a state of panic.
Reports received here from Warsaw
and other towns in the vicinity of Sled
lee place the number of victims at several
hundred.
The early reports of the Sledec massa-
ere put the responsibility at the door of
the terrorists, but fugtives declare that
the soldiers never would have been al
lowed to get so completely out of hand
without the connivance, If not the actual
direction, of their officers. The first re-
ports received of the Bialystok massacre
last June said the terrorists were to blame
there also.
Passengers who arrived at Warsaw at
night gave the following account of the
slaughter:
Murder of Policeman.
After the murder of a policeman by
terrorists on Saturday night and the fir
Ing of volley by troops into the as
sembled crowd, which resulted in the
killing of two citizens and the wound
ing of many more, the terrorists held a
meeting and decided to exact vengeance
by inaugurating a general campaign
against the police and the troops, similar
to the recent activity along the same
lines in Warsaw. In the course of Sun
day morning, twelve patrolmen and SOL
diers were killed. AS a result of this
the Labau regiment, in state of In
furiated anger, left its barracks in the
afternoon and marched into the Jewish
quarter, shooting right and left as it
went The troops were Joined by crowds

by the soldiers went on under the very

At a late hour in the afternoon the
Kaluga regiment arrived on special
train from Biala and measures were in
stltuted to put a stop to the programme
In spite of this, however, the shooting
continued up to a late hour last night.

Many a musician has wished for %

makes the arrangement far more In

a great hit. The song is clever and anus
ing ragtime and 1t was given in an in
imitable fashion by the comedian.
The olio was much stronger than the
first part, which was weak In spots. The
second part of the performance, on the
other hand, was uniformly good. There
was not dull number on the programme
and several of the most widely advertised
features proved to be excellent Jacob and

not only clever acrobats but managed to
keep the crowd in a good humor by their
comedy. Swift and Buckley gave an anus
ing sketch which was partly musical and
decidedly comic. The Brothers Carson, ac-
robats, gave a fine performance that won
them deserved applause.
Billy Boards monologue demonstra ted
that this young entertainer is one of the
best in the business. He is genuinely
funny. sings a song after fashion that
is all his own and perpetrates jokes which
will bring laugh. Billy Beard is in the
same company with those other two fam

Van and Billy Clark.
The performance was brought to a close
with a spectacle, entitled Moonlight In

pany.

popular prices, the gallery crowd broke
