NO RELIGIOUS HATRED OF JEWS
overwhelming Evidence That Outbreak
Was Planned.

ST. PETERSBURG, July "A point
strongly brought out in the parliamentary
report on the massacre of Jews at Bialystok
is that there was no religious hatred of the
Jews among the peaceful Russian popula-
ton. The fighting was confined to the
police. troops and Black Hundreds on one
side and the Jews and revolutionists on the
other. The parliamentary committee found
overwhelming evidence that the outbreak
was deliberately prepared.
After the assassination of Chief of Police
Derkachofr proclamations were scattered
broadcast by the police among the soldiers
and Black Hundreds, charging the Jews
with being enemies of the Russian state and
responsible for the revolution, and styling
the lower house the Jewish douma."
The commission cites proof on every hand
that after the rioting was started 1t was
directed by the police and supported by the
troops, who fired only at Jews and Jewish
houses.
The report does not specifically place the
blame for the throwing OF the original
bomb into the procession. although it says
that several revolver shots were fired and
that a bomb thrown, later among the
Black Hundreds accompanying the process
sion.
Sherornetieff, the police officer who fled
from Bialystok to Wilma after the rioting.
has been summoned to ST. Petersburg by In
terror Minister Stolypin.

Proof of His Skill.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Frank Miles Day, the well-known archi-
tect and essayist of Philadelphia, stepped
carefully from a Persian rug of dull green
and old rose to another rug of rich blue,
for the polished floor between was dark and
smooth and slippery, like ice.
Rather good polish, there, l think
said Mr.. Days host, a resident of Ritten-
house square.
Remarkably good. indeed" said Mr..
Day.
The host just then slipped and nearly
fell, and the architect, with a laugh, went
on:
"A friend of mine has beautiful floors,
and the other day sent for a floor polisher.
g" I want these floors polished he said to
the man. as he led him about the house.
They are. you perceive. fine ones. They
ought to come out as lustrous as rose

Why the Day is Celebrated.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The Star in recent issue. in speaking of
the interest attached TO the 4th of July,
said:
Although the Declaration of Independ-
ence was not signed on July L 1TT6, it was
first read to the continental congress on
that day, which thus is properly a great
one In the nations history"
Although the fact stated in the paragraph
is correct, the conclusion is not The 4th
of July is rated great day in the nations
history. not because the Declare ton of In
dependence was first read to the continental
congress on that day. but because 1t was
adopted on that day. 1t is true that a reso-
luton declaring the colonies to be free
and independent states was adopted July 2
but the declaration, written by Jefferson
and afterward amended by the congress,
was not adopted until July 4. 1t was sign
ed the same day by John Hancock presi-
dent of the congress, and Charles Thomson
the secretary August IL was signed
by all the members of congress present
fifty members. Six names were afterward
attached Col. Mexican did not sign It I'M
til 1871. Thus the mere fact of signing
the declaration is of small Importance The
adoption was the vital fact. c. T. ALVIN.

War on Dust.

From Harpers Weekly.
For some time past extensive experiments
have been conducted in Europe, and more
especially in France. in an endeavor to
ascertain the most practical and economical
method of preventing dust being raised
from streets and roadways. Three pro-
cesses have been given exhaustive trials
oiling watering with deliquescent salts and
tarring The most successful Of the ex-
perIments were those made with coal tar,
the cost of this application In France
amounting to about rs to 3 cents per square
ward but this cost is reduced to a much
smaller figure when 1t is considered that
the application saves wear upon the road
bed amounting to at least cents per square
yard per annum Chloride of calcium
worked fairly well. except for the ophthal-
mic effect upon the eyes of these using the
roads.
The use of tar or oil upon the roads of
the United States. except in a very few To-
calities, would not be possible. most of the
highways being soft dirt" roads. To be of
any practical benefit the road to which the
oil or tar is applied must be well built.
smooth and hard A macadamized road
with the tar coating gives excellent results.

SEA SERPENT DESCRIBED.
Lives Along Tonquin Coast and Has
Mustache.
From the British Medical Journal.

From the British Medical Journal.
DIR. Raphael Blanchard, professor of the
medical faculty of the University of Paris
and member of the Academic de Medicine,
has been going into the question of the sea
serpent and now finds himself In a position
not only to describe the monster but to
give portrait of him. He has head and
body like seal but with an immensely
long tail and very long and flexible neck
He is also ornamented with a fine mus
tache, and he is believed to have a name,
though this does not appear to be quite
certain.
DR.. Blanchard holds that the existence of
the great serpent is beyond all doubt He
has been seen several times in the Bay of
ALONG. In 1904 he was seen by Lieut.
Lagresille of the French navy. commanding
the Avalanche and again by Lieut.. rEost
commanding the gunboat Decide.
The latter officers account is remarkable
for the precision OF its details The length
of the serpent which he saw was at least
twenty meters: It had a large dorsal fin and
head like a seals. but much shorter. Its
skin was so tough that shells burst on It's
surface apparently without more effect

ard notes that 1t Is on the coast of Toncuin
that the serpent seems chiefly to show it.
self, and calls on the Cochin China govern
ment to capture the monster.
1t is q curious fact that in village on
the coast OF the Bay of ALONG a stuffed
serpent Is kept by the natives, who have
built temple for 1t and pay 1t divine hon
ors.

Christians and 90 Jews were wound
ed. One hundred and eighty
nine Jewish houses were destroyed.
Bialystok is described as the chief
center of the revolutionary move
ment in the western provinces.
The abolition of martial law March l was
followed by forty terrorist crimes against
officials. which caused disorganization of
the police. the best members of the force
being rendered unfit for service and I'M

During procession on June IA explosives
were thrown into 1t at two or three places
This audacious outrage led to an outburst

small section of the rural and urban pop
ulation.
The government repudiates Indignantly
the report that the attack upon the Jews
was supported by the local authorities or

Radium's Help In Explaining Life.

From Harper's Magazine.
Time was when men thought that ordl-
nary dead matter was inert and
gross" and brute and that the difrer-
ence between living matter and iheless
clay depended upon the fact that the form
er was vivified and informed by a mys-
FERROUS entity called life.
The old materialism accepted the one
view. and the old vitalism the other. Here

Rah. rah, for the jolly old Fourth of July!'
Two thumbs and eight fingers with lint were tied

On his head was lump like an upside down Gun
And his smile distorted his nose all awry
From the joys OF the glorious Fourth OF July
We We're glad he had started abroad with the sun
And all day he bad lived In the powder and fun;
While the boom OF the cannon roared up TO the sky
To salute young Americas Fourth of July

The Amateur Shaver.
From the London Globe.


One would imagine that shaving was an
operation that had no mysteries for the
grown man, that he knew all that there
was to be known on the subject Yet we
see that little book of hints has been
published. With this propped up against
the looking glass. as he shaves a man
cannot go wrong. The advice is good and
practical, though most shavers have prob
ably observed the rules indicated on their
own accounts. Always keep two or more
raxors in use." says our authority This Is q
practice not uncommon among the wary,
who like to shave with sharp razor. An
other hint which may be useful has to do
with the lather. Use plenty OF water to
make the lather. and iather the face before
stropping the razor, as the lather has then
time to act on and soften the beard Shaw
ing oneself is such an unpleasant operation
to the unsixiiled that all hints are welcome
The simplest way to avoid the unpleasant
ness Is. In our opinion, to use safety
razor. The objection to this Is that safety
razors seem to get dull SO rapidly. For the
matter of that. the ordinary razor becomes
blunt scarcely less quickly. The amateur
shaver tries in vain to fathom the secret Of
the professionals success In achieving a
keen edgeA 1t looks simple enough when
the barber is doing It, but II is an art that
can be but rarely acquired
