Streets of "Hated Race
Are Wiped Out in Town of
SiedIce Near Warsaw.
DOORS BATTERED DOWN
AND WOMEN DRAGGED OUT
Jews Had ASSassInated
Twenty Policemen and Sol
diers and Officers Could
Not Restrain Their Troops.

Warsaw, Sept. 10.-Bloody riots
and massacres occurred yesterday at
the town of Siedlce, 50 miles from
Warsaw. The troops, after being bait
ed for hours by the Terrorists, who
Systematically assassinated soldiers
and policemen attacked the Jewish
quarter about noon. They devastat-
ed three streets, filled with Jewish
dwellings and stores. and killed hun
dreds of occupants of the quarters.
The scenes were terrible. The sol
diers battered down doors and drag
ged men, women and children into the
streets or hurled them from windows.
A number of persons were killed by
being thrown from the roofs to which
they had fled in hope of escaping the
infuriated soldiers.
Dozens Shot in Flight.
Dozens were shot down in flight,
while others who attempted to re esist
were bayonetted and dubbed to death.
Many houses were fired and a conf1a
grafton at one time seemed imminent
Furniture was wrecked, carpets rip
ped up and vandalism of all kinds
practiced. The soldiers in their ex-
.cesses committed all kinds of out
RACES.
This section did not quiet down un-.
til evening, and by that time most of
the inhabitants had either escaped, or
been killed or wounded. The morgue
was filled with bodies duripz the eve
ming and the local hospital was
crowded with injured.
The outbreak found it's inception
in the murder of two soldiers Satur-
day night, who were on guard at the
government spirits dispensary. A
crowd was about the store when the
murders were committed and de-
tachment of troops who arrived on
the scene fired a volley into the mob.
Two were killed and two injured.
Sunday morning the terrorists be-
gan to retaliate for the shooting by
wholesale assassination Single
soldiers and policemen partrolling
the streets were shot to the number
of about 90
The troops stood the work or eX-
termination until noon by which time
they had becme desperate. At the
barracks. their officers started to re-
strain them but finally they broke the
bonds of discipline and started in
masses for the Jewish quarters, the
outbreak being attributed to Jewish
terrorists. The failure of the soldiers
to. act up to this time had given the
Jews. who are accustomed to should
ering the blame for any trouble. a
sense of false security and the mad
dened troops swept into the quarter
almost without warning. They be-
gan shooting and killing right and
left. battering down doors and wreck
ing houses.
Their supposed personal grievance |
against the Jews made the work of !
the soldiers all the more terrible |
and as they proceeded their passion !
for revenge seemed to increase rath- |
or than to diminish. A number of |
children were killed in cold blood. I
while women holding babies in their /
arms struck down ruthlesslv.
The soldiers did not return to the /
barracks until the quarter was de-
molished and not a living Jew was to
be found.

If He Married Elsie Enbody,
His Runaway Love, the
Chances Are He Is.
MAY HAVE ANOTHER WIFE
POLICE THINK HE MARRIED A
FORT WAYNE GIRL, WHILE HIS
PARENTS REFUSE TO AFFIRM
OR DENY IT.

In the case that young Herbert
Eshenfelder has married Miss Elsie
Enbody, with whom he ran away, it
is possible that he will come under
the list of bigamists. 1t was report
ed at Police Headquarters yesterday
that Eshenfelder is married to some
girl in Fort Wayne, Ind. Last spring
word was received at the Department
that the young man was wanted in Ft.
Wayne as witness for the city in a
suit of damages which was brought by
Mr.. and Mrs. Eshenfelder were ap-
preached yesterday concerning the
matter, they would neither deny nor
affirm the report, but closed the door
with the information that SO far as
that was concerned they had nothing
to say.
Young Man May be "off.'
The parents of the young man stat
ed that they are of the opinion that
he is mentally off, and is not entire
ly responsible for his acts, although
they say that he clearly knew what
he was doing. Mrs. Eshenfelder is
still i'll over the worry and concern
which the case has occasioned. The
young forger will be brought to the
city this morning by Supt. Bailey.
When Eshenfelder got into trouble
at Eaton on account of Offering stolen
cattle for sale, and made his escape,
he went to the same place that he
sought refuge this trip.

ITALY'S REPLY LUKEVARM
EXCHANGE OF NOTES BY EMPER-
ORS OF TRIPLE A ALLIANCE.

Principal Feature Of Williams Visit to
Austria-GeneraIly Believed That He
Took the Initiative 49, Counteracts
Danger Of Visit Being Regarded as a
Mere Austro- German Demonstration.
Vienna, June 7,-Emperor Williams
visit to Vienna was greatly curtailed
by the cold weather and unceasing rain.
The principal feature OF the visit was
the exchange of telegrams between the
sovereigns of the nations In the triple
alliance, which is generally attributed
to the initiative Of the German emperor
and the marked attention Which En-
peror Wniiam paid to DR.. WeAerle, the
Hungarian premier
This latter apparently has borne fruit
in the more appTeoiative editorials
printed in the Hungarian coalition
newspapers with regard to the Austro-
German alliance. King Victor Emman-
uel's reply to the telegram from the two
emperors Is considered to have been
hardly as warm as Emperor William
could have desired, but it is held to
have counteracted the danger of the
visit being regarded as mere Austro-
German demonstration to the exclusion
Of Italy, and, according to the Neue
Freie Pressc, the imperial speech to the
delegations will refer in warm tones to
the incident as STRENGTHENING the triple
alliance.
Emperor WffSian in visiting Kreut0-
enstein castle 2ulfilled wish he had
long entertained. Count Hans Won Viii
GEEK spent thirty years in rebuilding
and restoring the castle in accordance

fidelity of the restoration.

.tion Interests.
Albany, June 7.--Removal Of William
Travers Jerome from the office Of dis
trict attorney of New York county is
demanded Of Governor Higgins in a
complaint which has been filed at the
executive chamber by William M.
Amory of New York city.
While nothing definite can be learned
here as to the nature of the charges
made by Mr.. Amory it is assumed that
the complaint is the one which was
threatened by him before q legislative
committee last winter and is based up
on the charges he then made against
Mr. Jerome Of negligence in failing to
prosecute persons implicated by Mr..
Amory in his allegations against GER
tain metropolitan traction interests

expects to make a western business
trip before his return to Albany. He

idents of this city as follows;

broker; Edward 2. White, member
of the produce exchange; ex-Congress-
man Robert Baker of Brooklyn, Joseph
G. Hurley, secretary of the Standard
Finance company; William N. Amory,
a lawyer and former secretary of the
Third Avenue Railroad company
If the governor decides to entertain
the charges, copy of them will be
served at once upon Mr.. Jerome. Then
a commissioner will be appointed to
take the testimony of the many wit
nesses whom the accusers say they are
able to produce.
1t will rest with Governor Higgins,
after a full hearing Of the case, to dis
| pose OF the matter
The charges declare that Mr.. Jerome
has wllfully omitted to perform his
public duty, and that he received $50, 900
from the large life insurance companies
| toward his campaign fund last fall.
These contributions, it is charged, he
received as "a gratuity or reward in
the shape of campaign funds to COM
pound a crime, and for a violation of
the criminal statutes of this state, and
| has agreed or has abstained in pur-
suance of a previous agreement or ar
rangement, from the prosecution of
sundry criminal actions in violation of
section 125 of the penal code, and is
therefore guilty of a felony
1t is also alleged that Mr.. Jerome fail
ed to prosecute the Metropolitan Street
railway officials on charges submitted
by W. N. Amoryi who is recognized as
the chief author of the charges against
the district attorney. For five years

tained in campaign speeches are quot
ed in the text Of the charges filed with

why JAPAN HAS NOT
RESTORED COLD Mines
EMBASSY ISSUES A
STATEMENT REGARDING
THE MATTER.

Complaint of an American Who Claimed
to Have Acquired Mining Concessions
Near Port Arthur from a Russian
COncessiOnaire--Inves Failed
to Establish That Such Concessions
Existed.
Washington, June THE Japanese
embassy has issued the statement re-
garding the alleged refusal of Japanese
authorities to restore gold mines in
Manchuria to their American owners:
Tn April, 1905, an American citizen
asked the Japanese government
the United States minister in Toxic for
the protection of his mining concessions
in Liautishan at Port Arthur, which he
alleged to have acquired from a Rus
sian coneessionaire. An investigation
instituted at once by the Japanese gov
ernment failed to establish the fact
that such mining concessions actually
existed. Besides, certain buildings,
which, according to the statement of
the American in question, stood In
Liautishan could not be found; and
these facts We're at the time comnuni-
Gated to the United States minister in
Toxic. In March, 1906, the said Amer
ican applied for permission to visit
Port Arthur for the purpose of investi-
eating his rights himself, and the de-
sired permission was at once given by
the Japanese government.
Private property left without any
person to look after it was, so far as
practicable, taken into custody by the
Japanese military authorities. but in no
case ras any private property been re-
tanned beyond the time required to as
certain the rights involved and all APP
plications for restitution Of property
have been carefully attended to without
unnecessary delay,
"The fixation Of the time limit for the
consideration of such claims was obvi-
ously needed, Thus, in the regulations
relating to the restitution Of private
property which was promulgated by the
governors general Of Kwantung on jan
uary 21, 1906, 1t was enacted that such
claims must be presented within eight
months from the date Of the promulga-
tion of those regulations. BY subse-
queYlt amendment the time limit in GER
tain specified cases was extended to
December Is, 1905"

Absence of BeaIs G. Wright Proves Sc
riOus Handicap to Americans.
Newport, England, June THE alb
sence of Beals c. Wright, who was un-
able to play on account Of the blood
poisoning of his hand, proved serious
handicap to the Americans in the open
dng rounds of the International tourna-
nent to-day for possession of the
Dwight F. Davis International chal-
lenge cup against Los Poidevin, AUS
tralia, and A. F. Wilding, New Zea-
land. Raymond D. Little, who replaced
Wright lost his match against A. F.
Wilding, but Holcombe Ward playing
most accurately, won from Poidevan,
who took the place of Norman Brookes
on the Australian team this year
The Australian, hindered by Wards
service, did good work with an effec-
tive backhand stroke, but was very
weak in volleying. Wards playing was
wonderfully accurate. He displayed
good judgment in allowing the Austral-
ian to play himself out in the opening
stages of the second and third sets,
Poidevin won the first three games
of the second set and in the third led
at 5 to 2; but Ward then set himself
going and playing up to the net, gave
his opponent little chance. In the
match against Wilding, Little was
forced to do a good deal Of lobbying
and scored most of his points from,
service, with which he effectively cut
out Widing's backhand. In the last
game of the second set, Little serving
deuce was called ten times and want
age six times in Wilding's favor. In
this set the New Englander was ba4 ed
by Little's service, the American scor-
ing five times in succession IN the
ninth and tenth games; but W1ldlne
took his opponents service into the
right hand court the last game and
beat him with a forehand return every
time, although Little generally scored
with his service into the left hand
court.
Tomorrow Ward and Little will meei
. Wilding and Poidvin in the doubles.

"A large part of his evidence was the

been considered in court. Much Of this
and of the other evidence was only
con1ectural The comparatively small
portion that could have any legitimate
bearing was cumulative and not of q
character that seemed to us to COM

different result from that which was
reached. We cannot find that there

CAssATT READY WHEN WANTED.
Will Testify When Called by Commerce
Commission.

Philadelphia, June IA statement re-
garding President Cassatt's appear
ance at a witness hefore the Interstate
commerce commission was issued to-
day by an official of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company. It is as follows;
Referring to the speculation as to
the reason why he had not appeared
before the interstate commerce commits
sion. Mr.. Cassatt stated to-day that on
the 9th of April last he had written
to Hon. Martin "A. Knapp, chairman
of the commission, that he proposed
sailing for Europe on the 9th day of
MAY. to be absent until the latter part
of June. and that IL the commission de-
sired to examine him he would be much
Obliged If they could arrange to call
him before his departure. In reply to
this letter Mr.. Knapp wrote that IN
case they desired Mr., Cassatt's testi-
mony, which was probable, they would
endeavor to arrange a date which
would not interfere with his trip; and
a short time before he sailed Mr..
Knapp was good enough to send him
word through an officer of the company
that the commission would not be able
TO call him before his departure but
not to let that interfere with his move
ments.
IN viewof this Mr. Cassatt awaits
a call from the commission, to which
he will be glad to respond promptly"
