OUIJTlOFDANdER IJ.Il
PREMIER WHITES PLAN
a. WILL BE BLOCKED
Jewish Leaders Claim to Have Proof
That Messages Warning Witte OF
Peril of Jews VIII Not Be Transmits
ted-Proof of Charge Is Lacking.

St. Petersburg, March Iz.--There is
already evidence that only check
and not defeat has been administered
to the reactionists who are conducting
the arlti-semitic agitation s.. t5
Premier Witte, after he had forced
a decision of the cabinet to suppress
the agitation and knowing the audacity
OF his opponents, took the precaution
privately to ask the Jewish leaders to
notify him instantly whenever the lew
lsh inhabitants OF any locality were
threatened III order to place him iii
la position to insist that measures be-
taken to protect them :.
The Jewish leaders, however, now
charge that the reactionary clique, with
the conniyance OF the sympathetic lo-
cal governors general are boldly arr
ranging to block such warnings. The
leaders claim to have proof that orders
have been given at several places,
specifically citing Vitebsk, West RUS
5sia, not to transmit messages to the
premier warning him Of the imminence
of trouble.
Y 1t is further charged, but proof IS
lacking, that this was done with the
Knowledge OF Interior Minister DUR

several years an auditor for the New

six years ago. He said today he did
not see how the company could be held
responsible for payments to Hamilton,
itasmuch as the vouchers were always

The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1906-07-19

Mrs. Abe Goodman, of Center town
ship, who was operated upon at the
Park hotel in this city on Wednesday of
last week. died Saturday about noon,
her case having been critical from the
start, and the operation was only per-
formed as last desperate chance to
save her life. Her remains were taken
to the family home Saturday evening,
the funeral being held from the resi-
dence in Center township on Monday,
the sermon being preached by Rev.
Alderman, pastor of the Garden Grove
Presbyterian church, interment being
at the Franklin cemetery. The funeral
cortege which followed her remains to
their last resting place was one of the
largest ever seen in Decatur county and
testified to the high esteem in which
the deceased was held. We trust we
will be furnished with the data for a
fitting obituary for next week.

No one appeared in Justice John
Holden's court Monday morning to make
any claim to the beer which was seized
on July 4th at the farm of James Miller
near the GAINESVILLE Junction, so the
liquor was condemned according to law
and an order given to constable Claude
Lorey to destroy the liquor and the
vessels. Constable Lorey and Marion
Woodland took it out northeast of town
and let nearly two barrels Of beer flow
in gutter. The costs in the case were
taxed up against James Miller, against
whom an injunction has also been appli-
ed for to restrain him from selling liquor
anywhere.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1906-07-19

One of the new laws passed by the
last session of the legislature and which
went into effect July 4, requires that all
municipal bookkeeping must conform to
rule prescribed by the auditor Of
state. This law was passed upon the
recommendation of the Iowa League of
Municipalities, and it's primary object is
to secure a system of bookkeeping
which will facilitate the work of the
federal census department in gathering
statistics regarding cities. 1t seems
that the work of formulating this new
system has been referred to a commits
sion.
