ARE FLEEING
FROM RUSSIA
COMING HERE
Mother, Sister and Brother Of
Samue5 Tucker Escape Mas
Sacre in Russian Town.
SOLDIERS THE WORST.
Were Sent to Protect Them-..
Took Letter One Month to
Get Here.

Samuel Tucker, manager of the
ELK Trading Stamp Company's store
in this city, who, as told in the NEWS
a few days ago, was awaiting anxious
ly to hear from his mother sister and
brother who We're in Russia, and
from whom he had not heard for
some months, received a letter yes
terday, in which he was notified that
they had to flee from that country
and would soon be in this country.
Soldiers Attacked Them.
In conversation with Il NEWS man
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Tucker said
that his family lived in the small
town of Wobolnick in the govern
ment of Koono. The letter, which
he had received, was from his moth
er. 1t told him that soldiers had been
sent to the town to protect the peo-
pie from the mobs, but the soldiers
had no sooner arrived than they had
turned on the Hebrew families who
lived in the town, killing and wound
ing many and that the few who had
escaped had been taken into the
homes of Christian friends and shell
tered until order had been somewhat
restored.
Not Safe There.
The letter further said that al
though things had now quieted down,
it was not safe to live in the town for
the soldiers might at any time break
loose again and they were worse than
any civilian mobs, for they not only
killed and wounded, but plundered
and burned the homes of the Jews
Mailed Month Ago.
Mr.. Tucker said that the letter was
mailed to him a month ago from
Russia, but that it was delayed in
transmission because of the trouble
throughout the country. 1t generally
takes letter, in times of peoce, only
ten days TO come from Russia to this
country. He said that his mother,
brother and sister would first go to
London, where they would visit his
brother, who has been in business in
that city for the past twenty-five
years. A few weeks before the let
ter was mailed, the mother wrote she
tried to sell the home in the old coun-
try. In time of peace it was worth
in the neighborhood of $4,000, but
she could not get $500 for it now
After the visit to London, Mr.
fuckers relatives will sail for this
country and they will come to this
city where they will reside with him.

SUBURBAN DISAPPOINTMENT
POOREST FIELD OF HORSES
 EYER ENTERED FOR EVENT.

Striking Evidence of Season of Disap-
 pointment-But Eleven Horses, Out
 of Fifty-three Entered, to Race
 ToIxnlon the Only Star Among Them
 -DandeIion Seems the Favorite.
 New York, June 20--With only eleven horses named to start, and having the appearance of the ordinary sort of over might racing event, the twenty-third Suburban handicap will be contested at Sheepshead Bay tomorrow by perhaps | the poorest field of horses ever sent away over the fhie and quarter course which has a $20,00O purse at its goal. The Suburban presents striking evidence of the ppointments that have attended the present racing sea son. Ftfty-three of the best horses in l training, with the ill-starred Sysonby at the head of the list were entered for this years blue ribbon event. That but eleven horses are named as con- l testants the night before the race, and that these horses should be only those which have been contesting for the smaller handicap purses all season with indifferent success, proves the crownine dIsappointment of the spring racing
 period.
 If is true the Brooklyn handicap win
 ner is named to go in to-morrow's Su-
 burban and this ordinarily would lend
 class to the event, but Tokalon, with 119 pounds to shoulder, is not seriously
 regarded as a factor in the big race
 Tokalon ran on a track supposed to bt
 to his liking at Gravesend last Saturday
 and finished absolutely last in flel(
 that was not classy, by any means.
 Dandelion, the clever Hitchcock four
 year-old, which ran second in tn
 Brooklyn handicap and has had goo' rest since that time in preparation fo
 the Suburban, seems to stand out to night as to-morrow's favorite. Hi
 chances are strengthened by the fac that the June meeting at Sheepshea Bay will open with fast track, unles unexpected rain should intervene. Tn
 second choice play tonight is divide ' between Cairngorm and Go Betweer } the latter's clever win under advers 7 circumstances at Gravesend Tuesda , gaining him many supporters. Cairr gorm will share with Tokalon the sec q ond highest weight in the field-ll |, pounds.
 k Proper, the Jennings candidate, an f possessing about as much class as an |, horse in the field, will go to the pol : with whatever honor may attach to tf d topweight in this years Suburban. H II inpost is 122 pounds. Despite this, h : chances will be fancied by many Coll d nial Girl and Dolly spanker are ti l. other candidates which will be suppor e ed. Cedarstrome, Oliver Cromwell ar if Astronomer are the lightweights, al l. complete the field.

 Discussing the group of men in con- troI of the packing industry, MT. Lodge said their history had been of utter defiance of law and public opinion He referred to recently published inter- view with Nelson Morris, in which the great packer showed contempt for writers of books, and the Massachusetts senator said the writing of a DOCK brought about the present situation, | and it may occur to the packers that "the writing of books Is not so con 1 temptible." The men responsible fol the meat packing and Standard Ol | monopolies said MT. Lodge, have done more to advance socialism, anarchism and other unwholesome conditions 1T the United States than all of the socl' alists in the world. He said the peo ple would resent having their food tam
 pered with and made sport of for mer' insensate greed for money, and Una
 they are rightly insisting that thes' packers be put on the same basis a

He re- ouested that the house be permitted tc vote separately on the two sections, but objection was made to the division oi the bill
 MT. Norris, in support of the resolu- ton, said that a longer term of years than at present was required in th' house if a member expected to hay' any voice in the actual solving of na tional legislative problems or in tn shaping of the governments policies.
 Messrs. deArmond and Tyndall O Missouri were pronounced in their op position to the measure MT. Tyndall in sisting that the lower house of congress was not "cleaned out often enough.
