JEWS TERRIFIED
WILD RUMoR CAUSES AN INoIPIENT
 RIOT.
Hebrew Parents Believed Teachers In Public Schools Were Cutting Throata of Their Children
 --POIiCe Called In.

New York, June 27.--A wild rumor that children's throats were being cut in the public schools resulted in such excitement and panic throughout the lower east side today that fifteen schools with 25.o0o pupils were closed for the day.
 The trouble was caused by operations performed on several children yester- dav for the removal of adenoids. fungus growth in the back of the throat anI nasal cavity. The operation is nos a dangerous one but the reports coucerninz what had been done spread rapidIy today and especially among the Hebrews and became changed into ru- mors that the Russian anti-Jewisi massacres were to be repeated in this country and that a start was being made on Hebrew children in the schools.
 It was not long until many of the scI ools were surrounded by crowds of frantic stricken parents bent on res ouing their little ones from what they believed to De impending death.
 These crowds became so threatening that hurried calls for protection were sent to the nearest police station and all the patrolmen available were sent out to restore order. In one instance q Police Court was closed for an hour to permit the conrt attenGan and off cials to aid the police in protecting a neighboring school. At one building the excited people became rlotous and doors and shutters were closed to in- sure the safety of those inside.
 All attempts at continuing the ses- sions of the day were soon seen to be useless anG one after another of the principals decided to dismiss their pu- pills for the day. AS tho little ones marched out the scene was pathetic, weeping women rushing forward to clasp their children in their arms in thanksgiving. Throughout the disor- ders the several hundred extra patrol men on duty were powerless to restore order. The district affected extends from the Bowery to the East River and from Catherine to Houston Streets

MIR. GRADY's SPEECH.
Eloquent Address W0s Feature of Gathering of Wisconsin Democrats.


 Gathering of Wisconsin Democrats.
 Milwaukee. Wis, June 27.-The Dem ocratic State Convention called for the purpose of adopting a platform to be recommended tp the candidate who will be nominated at the primary election in the fall met here today. Prior to the convention it seemed to be the general opinion that W. J. Bryan would be endorsed for the nomination for the Presidency at the National Convention in 1908 and that the platform among other things would favor revision of the tariff and legislation affecting trusts.
 State Chairman Manson introduced Daniel H. Grady as temporary chair man of the convention.
 In his speech Mir. Grady referred to William J. Bryan without mentioning his name as the embodiment of the principles of Democracy and "hopeo he may live to see the triumph of the cause and answer the peoples call to the helm of State, leaving an official record as stainless as that of his pri- vate life.
 MT. Grady spoke as follows:
 "If the measure of a party's great ness and a party's success be It's abil- ity to bamboozle the people Into a mis- taken belief or to gain the coveted po- sition as a provider of political paper the Democratic Party may nave been a success.
 But to the credit of that party, be 1t said, it has not departed from its principles of government that 1t might meet the popular approval but has taught the lesson to rising generations that there are higher ana nooler things in life than the hoidirg of political of- flee.

 Norfolk, June 27.-Matthew Fortner, the preacher sailor from South Csroli- na, was dishonorably discharged from the United States Navy yesterday af- ternoon.
 Fortner is the young man who, while telling of his ministerial calling to a recruiting officer. was advised to en- list in the navy and to study conditions which might aid him in his work when he entered the army of gospel workers
 Fortner did enlist but he says he did not find the navy suitable to a young man of his morals and he de- serted He was arrested in divinity college in South Carolina.
 President Roosevelt. at the instiga- ton of several United States senators and representatives in Congress. agreed to look into the case. Whether the President ordered his dishonorable dis charge is matter of conjecture.
 Fortner stated that he will return to South Carolina to pursue his studies for the ministry.

that Rutenburg, the terrorist leader
who is said to have lured Gapon to his
Heath, rushed in, felled him to the floor
