NO HATRED OF THE JEWS.
Peaceful Russians Did Not Participat.
 In the Mannncren.

St. Petersburg, July IA point strongly brought out in the parlia- mentary report on the massacre of Jews at Bialystok is that there was no religious hatred of the Jews among the peaceful Russian population.
 The firing was confined to the po- lice troops and black hundreds on one side and the Jews and revolutionists on the other. The parliamentary com mission found overwhelming evidence that the outbreak was deliberately prepared.
 After the assassination of Chief of Police Derkachecff. proclamations were scattered broadcast by the police, among the soldiers and Black Hun dreds charging the Jews with being enemies of the Russian state and re- sponsible 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 who supported by the troops, fired only at Jews and Jewish hous- es.
 The report does not specifically place the blame for the throwing of the original bomb Into the procession al- though 1t says that several revolver shots were fired and that a bomb was thrown later among the Black Hun dreds accampanving the procession.
 Sherometief, the police officer who fled from Bialystok to Wilma after the rioting. has been summoned to St. Petersburg by Interior Minister gto1ypin.

 Eufaula. July 4.-(SpeciaI )--The Fourth passed off here practically un- observed. The merchants all closed doors promptly at noon and the after noon was given over to recreation and baseball Several picnics were on the boards and numerous families repaired to the woods where the hours were spent in fishing and other amusements. Citizens in the neighborhood of Min eral Springs. sixteen niles south of the city. enjoyed a big barbecue and picnic at that place and report most pleasant outing.
 Last night the young people enjoyed delightful german in the rooms of the Alabama Club, where they tripped the light fantastic until after mid night.
 An angry cloud swept over sections around the city and quite a downpour of rain fell for an hour or more yes- terday afternoon. Crops are about clean of grass but the rain was not needed. The cotton crop is considered several weeks late, but the weed Is healthy and has time yet to fruit well. Corn is considered to be the finest in several seasons and a big yield is about assured.
 At the regular monthly meeting of the City Council yesterday Afternoon the following policemen were elected to serve for the ensuing year: J. A. Stokes, F. M. Patterson, J. M. McGee. Marshall Huguley has inaugurated q rew system and will require the force to alternate, each policemen serving a month on the day force during the year. This it is thought will give en- tire satisfaction as the old rule gave the day work to one member for the entire year.
 Contributions to the fund for the proposed new Episcopal Church are still coming in and 1t Is hoped ere long to begin work. Several thousand are promised as soon as dirt Is broken and Rev. Mr. Brown Is anxious to begin. It is hoped to have cash subscription sufficient to warrant beginning work sometime this fall at any rate
