GIVES JEWS FEW RIGHTS.
Russian Reform Plan Prevents Them
Acquiring Peasant Lands.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 17.-Premier
Stolypin's organ, the Rossia,, published
Friday long article apparently in
tended to prepare the way for the pro-
mitigation of reforms In the condition
of the Jews. 1t declares the changes
will not give the Jews full equality,
nor permission to spread through the
country and acquire the lands Of the
peasants. They will have the right
to live everywhere inside the pale, in
the country as we'll as in the cities.
Restrictions imposed on Jewish
merchants and artisans will be re-
vised and such men will be granted
permission to dwell outside the pale.
The paper declares the forcible con-
centration within the pale of 5000, 900
Jews. or liz per cent. of the popula-
ton, has proved failure and has not
prevented the most dangerous Gle.
ments, the Jewish intelligencia and
plutocracy, from penetrating into Rus
STA over the golden bridge, while pow.
erty has stricken the residue.
Men who are condemned to live
on one herring and two potatoes a
week cannot be expected to under
stand the benefits or obligations of
citizenship" adds the paper. Loyal
ty stops where famine begins. A
full equalization, however, is inpos-
sible at present because the Jewish
masses within the pale are in state
of revolutionary white heat and would
carry the torch of sedition through the
whole of the interior. It must await
the final solution of the agrarian ques-
ton"

DIE IN FASTEST RIDE OF LIFE.
Death to Two Follows Tom cooper's
Proud Remark to Companions.

New York, Nov 21.-Daniel Barka-
low, a Paterson IN. j. cotton broker,
who was one of the party found in
the automobile in which Tom Cooper,
the .bicyclist and automobilist, was
killed in Central park Monday night,
died Tuesday. Miss Helen Lambert,
another member of the party, who also
was seriously injured, is in critical
condition and is not expected to live
The fourth member of the party, a
young woman who gave her name as
Virginia Vernon, and said her home
was in Jersey City, has broken leg
and is suffering from shock. 1t Is be-
lieved she will recover.
A new story of the accident was told
by Miss Lambert. She said that the
collision was due to Cooper's sudden
IL turning out to avoid collision with
a cab in the roadway. He was COM
PEELED to swing far to the left, and had
safely passed the cab when the head
light of stalled automobile doomed up
scarcely more than 100 feet away.
Cooper could not check his speed, and
all instant later crashed into the STALL
ed car.
Miss Lambert says the automobile
party was returning from visit to
Harlem roadhouse. Just before they
entered the car for the ride through
the park, Cooper said to his friends:
NOW I'll give you the fastest ride Of
your life" Five minutes later Cooper
was dead, his companions were lying
unconscious in the park, and the big
machine in which they rode was a
wreck.

sHERRIck DECISION REVERSED.
Indiana Supreme court Finds Elk.
Auditors Sentence illegal.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 17.~-The gu
preme court FRIDAY reversed the de-
cision of the lower court by which
David 3. sherrick, former auditor Of
state, was sent to the penitentiary
for an indeterminate sentence OF from
two to IA years, charged with en-
bezzlement of the state funds.
The decision of the court orders a
new trial of the case. Sherrick has
been in the penitentiary at Michigan
City for several months. He will be
brought back to Indianapolis at once
and held subject to the order Of the
criminal court. He probably will be
released on bond. The court holds
that Sherrick did not embezzle state
money, as the money belonged to the
insurance companies and not to the
state. Judge Hadley handed down
the opinion.
