Biaystok Riots Cease.
Grodno, June 21.-The anti-Jewish
Tioting at Bialystok is now ended The
troops are in full control and in view
of the cutlery raised it is certain that
the authorities will not permit re-
newal of the horrors recently wit
messed at Bialystok.
While it is impossible to give the
exact figures, visits to the hospitals
and cemeteries reveal figures which
approximate the killed at 100 Jews
and 20 christians.
During the rioting the Jews were
hunted down by ferocious pursuers,
who in the majority of cases were
not content with killing their victims,
but tore them to pieces like wild ami
mails. And while this was in prog
Tess the troops stood idly by or, as
was more frequently the case, fired
into the houses and shops where
Jews were concealed, under the pre-
text that they believed them to be
revolutionists, but really to make
way for the murderers and plunder-
ers who followed in the soldiers
wake.
Tales of Awful Atrocities.
The tales of atrocities committed
are innumerable and while some Of
them may be exaggerated enough had
been shown to make almost anything
creditable.
The mob seemed to delight in tor
turing the victims Strips of flesh
were cut from their bodies. children
were snatched from their mothers
arms and taken by the legs and
Drained on the pavement before the
eyes of their parents.
An old Jew was beheaded and the
CHASTITY trophy was carried all day at
the end of pike through the streets
In many cases the heads of victims
were beaten to jelly with stones.
Murder of Child.
At the Bialystok railway station.
where the mob searched the trains for
Jews, a rioter seized a 5-year-old cir!
by the throat and held her at arm 3
length until she strangled to death.
Little children seemed to take pleas,
ure in pointing out the hiding places
of Jews. Mutilated corpses, swarming
with flies, were left lying about the
streets in some cases for days.
To Receive Americans.
The American embassy, headed by
Charles Fl. Graves, minister TO
Sweden, will be received in audience
today, when Lieutenant Commander
Gibbons arrives from London. The
American embassy is established in a
handsome private residence. over
which flies an enormous American
flag.
The absence of a Swedish repre-
sentative attracts little attention. A
few resident Swedes display their flag,
but the official arrangements ignore
Sweden because OF King Oscars re-
fusal to participate. The Swedish
minister at Christiania finds it con-
venient to have urgent private bust
ness requiring his presence at home.
