 tion of Revolt.
Parliamentary Commission to Investi- gate the Massacre at BiaIystok, and Its Report Will Add
 Fuel to Flames.

St. Petersburg, June 19.-The massa- ere of Jews at Biaiystcck has shocked the country and added to the general excitement. The revelations which the parliamentary commission sent to in- vestigate the outbreak at BiaIystock are expected to make will only add fuel to the flames Thus far the censor at Bialystock has evidently refused to allow the press correspondents to send anything reflecting on the authorities The Coles. a newspaper edited by NJ. Ulfanoff. a member of the Lower House. of Parliament containing an account of the horrors and charging the authorities of Bialystock with deiebrately preparing the riot was con- fiscated today.
 Dispatches from the interior towns bring the usual chronicle of murder and robbery. Fresh strikes are re- ported at Kaluga, Krementchug. Zhito- mir, Voisk and Ustln Veliki. but the success of the attempt to precipitate a general strike is by no means assur- ed. The Novce vremya, however. re- ports that the engineers of the Moscow railroad have agreed not to take out their locomotives tomorrow. The gov- ernment has made the most elaborate preparations to meet the strike move ment. Military trains are held in readiness at all the stations of St. Pe- tersburg and Moscow.
 The masons and stone cutters join- ed the bakers fin the strike today and the butchers will follow their example tomorrow.
 The prices of bread and meat have been doubled.
 The news from Kronstadt continues disquieting The troops sent to the island are camping outside the city. The Twentieth Century, formerly the Russ. says the situation is so danger ious that the breech blocks have been removed from the guns of the warships in the harbor.

TEXAS WITNESS FELL THROl GB
 AIR SHAFT.
Was Intensely Nervous Before Retiring and Fenkea for Him Lffe--Gavcrn- m1ent Detectives Hnd Been
 Guarding Him.

Chicago, June 1s.--willian F. Run nels. of Lexington, Tex. fen down an air shaft from the sixth floor of the Grace Hotel early today and was in- stantly killed

Tex as, in fight with Sherfff Scarborough. Before retiring. Tunnels appeared ex tremely nervous He said he did not wish to sleep alone and begged to bo allowed to sleep in the room occupied by Thomas Largent. member of ths party
 While IarEent was asleep Tunnels left tho bed and. going to a wind DIV opening into tha air shaft, either jumped or fell into the shaft.
 A coincidence in connection with Rum els death is the fact that Sheriff scarbrough had feared injury to his witness and had asked for police pro- tection. Yesterday he telegraphed to Chicago asking that the train be met by a detail of police. He said he had reason to fear an attempt might be made on the lives of some of his wit neSses
 The plot was discovered as the train on which the party were coming to Chicago was leaving Kansas City. A man who was a former friend of Co-e- man got on the train and met the one who had boarded the train at Kansas City. Sheriff Scarborough suspecting some plot thereupon telcgraphed Gov ernment officials for protection. When the party arrived in Chicago they were met by detectives but nothing unusual occurred al the station.

 Bilaystok. Russia. June i9.-The bodies of more than hundred Jews were buried during tfIe day, but the im- posing array of military force prevent Cd resumption of the disorders.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press this evening saw dozens of Chris tians of the lower class, with sacks on their backs. coming from the desolat- ed Jewish quarter to submit to the examination of the soldiers and po- lice. If the sacks contained plunder, none of 1t was seized.
 General Bader. commander of the garrison and acting governor general. is in personal charge of the troops, which are so disposed that renewal of the riotIng Is considered improb- able.
 The Jews. however. continue in a state of panic. As the correspondent passed through the streets. strewn with wreckage they could be seen hastily barricadlng what was left of their house Many of them adopted the artifice of placing wikons or crepes on their doors in order to avert the att tacks of the Christians.

PEOPLES LOBBY
AT WASHINGTON

The peoples lobby. which has been or

ther the passage OF good laws I'm the in
terest OF the whole people. has been def
nitely determined upon with regard 10
personnel and plans, and is ready to be-
gin operations with the convening of con-
cress Writing OF the movement In Sue
cess Magazine" which has been further
ing the project. Samuel Merwin says:
There can be no excuse for any sort
of secrecy in the work OF the bureau. r.
Is based on the belief that there is no
reason why any detail OF the Legislative
work OF this republic should he kept hid
den. IL assumes that evasion OF the light
is an unhealthy symptom. And, animated
by this spirit. IL can do no less than keep
ali its own records open. all the time, 10
any magazine. any newspaper. any citi-
zen, or body OF citizens.
'rhese records will be made up of facts
rot Of opinions. In so far as they will
go TO fix the full personal responsibility
oe senators and representatives, for the
work OF congress and It's committees, the
reports will be based wholly on their pub
lie acts. The peoples lobby is not In.
torested in personal or political gossip.
But every state and district has n right
20 scrutinize the work OF It's representa-
tives I'm congress, as has an employer IA
scrutinize the work OF his employees. There
is nothing in the slightest degree personal
about this.
mo honest man can object to a record,
compiled thoroughly and accurately from
official sources, OF his public acts--of pre-
cisely what he has said and how he has
voted on every question that has arisen
during his term of office. all brought to-
gether in concise form and stated In un-
compromisingdy simple terms.
''It should be seen. from this, that the
peoples lobby is starting out without thu
slightest feeling OF antagonism for con-
gress. These records will be an inestim-
able help TO the unright Independent con-
gressman. AS to the dishonest congress-
man-and II is with regret that we en-
ploy the term--the records will probably
hurt him"
