INcITED EXCESSES.

EKATERINOSLAV, Russia, May s.
Considerable interest has been aroused
here by the approaching trial of Berg
man, provocative agent of the govern
ment who will be tried May 10 on the
charge of melting anti.Jewish excesses
in several cities.
Last year Bergman provoked the
massacres at Ekaterinosav by throw
ing a bottle of vitrol in the face of the
commissary of police. After he had
been arrested, he confessed to the
prosecutor that his real name was
Alexieff and that he was an agent for
the secret police and that for some time
he had acted under the direction of
General Trepoff He claimed he had
fired at the prefect of Minsk in trying
to provoke disorders in that city. A
general strike has been caused by the
arrest and subsequent banishment of
the director and the instructors of the
school here and by the dis.
missal of the students.

WASHINGTON, May 5.--Assurances
today were given the President that

Many Democrats who favored Bail

Leaders Are Named.

Accounting TO the indictment, Elkins
and Co. Dorgan & Co, the Gilchrists,
Culligan, Macpherson and Stone were
the moving spirits in the alleged con-
spiracy. If the allegations in the in
dictment are all true, the
mode OF operations is similar to those
of nearly all the conspnacies which
have been found in this State, with this
exception, that its ramifcations are al
legged to be wonderfully extensive. The
simplifed plan was merely to obtain
the land by procuring entry men to file
on the desirable public acreage and as
soon as the patent was issued, to sell
it to the alleged ring leaders. Accord
ing to the Indictment these others, be-
sides the persons alleged to be behind
the movement were tools through
which the alleged leaders worked.
Some of these men, it is alleged secured
entrymen to go upon public land desig-
mated by the leaders, while the indict-
ment asserts others, by reason of their
prominence in responsible communities,
employed further alleged schemes by
recommending them to prominent
offices. Although the indictments de-
clare the alleged conspirators procured
possession of 400 claims involving 2Ol,.
600 acres, those accused are charged
with securing OF but $50 claims.
Warrants will be issued at once for
the arrest of those accused and it ia
expected their apprehension will take
place Immediately.
