RUSSIA PROMISES
LAWS OF FREEDOM
RELIGIOUS MEASURES TO BE
LESS SEVERE
Practically Every Restriction Under
Which the Dissident Faiths Have
Labored to Be Pro-
mulgated

Bv Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 20.-The
Associated Press has been informed
bv a member of the cabinet that within
a few days laws of religious freedom,
removing practically every restriction
and disability under which the dtssi-
dent faiths in Russia have labored, VIII
he promulgated. The first, including
measures for the distribution of land'
already has been published.
The new laws are, in effect, an ampl-
fication and confirmation of the em-
peror's ukase of April T. 1905, which,
although IL esta ablishes a large measure
Of federation and enabled thousands
of dissenters to leave the ortnodoX

la ton needed, but chiefly to the aroi-
trarv Interpretation of the emperor

construed as they saw fit.
In some cases the workings of the
likase were almost entirely nullifed.
Under the new laws, which will be
published while no parliament is sit

tion of the government.
This will confer upon their clergy
practically the same status as Is now
enjoyed by orthodox priests. They have
equal rights with the orthodox church
i'm the matter of erecting school and
church buildings and the receiving of
proselytes.
"In fact an orthodox priest said to
the Associated Press, they will be
more free than the orthodox church,
which is the state church and subject
to a mass of state regulations.
Another Law Contemplated
The cabinet will next take up the
project of a law enlarging the rights of
the Jews. which has just been elabo-
rated by a commission.
This measure has been somewhat a
restriction, the administration belieV-
ing that full equality in the present
state of public opinion in Russia, can
and should be given only by parliament.
The administration, after several
months considera ton, has determined
against compensation for the property
destroyed during the Moscow revolt.
The claims arising from this cause
amounted to $S25, 000 The deputation
of Jews that visited M. Stolypin and
referred to the predictions of an anti
Jewish attack at Warsaw, which are
being circulated III tle hussldh anu
foreign press was informed by the pre-
mier that according to reports from
General Skallon there was not the
slightest reason to expect disorders
Nevertheless he ordered that all neces-
sary measures be taken to prevent al
outbreak.
The premier expressed the hope and
said he was confident that Siedlc'
would end the history of anti-Jewisl
disorders. While refusing, in the alb
sence of complete information, to dis
cuss the doings of the soldiers, the
premier said he had no desire to shield
them. Their exhausted condition, he
continued. coupled with nervousness
resulting from frequent attacks on pa
trolls, was accountable for breaches OF
discipline.
