ST. PETERSBURG, June H.-Prince
Urusoff, former assistant minister of
the interior made speech today in
parliament in which he credited NJ
Stolypin, the interior minister, with
the desire to act Justly and correctly.
But he said that the guilt for the out
RACES must be sought "higher up"
outside the ministry. He then pointed
directly to Gen. Trepoff, saying that
80 long as persons by training police
men and by inclination outragers are
able to have their will so long will ex-
cesses and massacres of Jews disgrace
the honor of Russia
The prince said that he had evidence
that Komissoroff, the official in charge
of the press upon which the proclama-
tions were printed. had not acted upon
his own responsibility, and quoted
Komissoroff as boasting of his ability
to arrange Jewish massacres to meas
ure killing ten or ten thousand as
desired.
stoIypin Attempts Reply
Interior Minister Stolypin, amid con-
stant Interruptions, attempted to reply,
declaring that he was willing to as
sumo any future guilt and not attempt
to take shelter behind the chimera of
the man higher up.
In answering an Interpolation which
asked what information the ministers
had in regard to the police having
melted attacks on Jews and Liberals
and the printing of proclamations at
police headquarters, M. Stolypin said
that he could only be held responsible
for events since his incumbency, but,
desiring to obtain a thorough grasp
of the activity and spirit of the de-
partment he had made an exhaustive
inquiry and found that under former
Interior Minister Durnovo, Komissoroff
had really written proclamationS de-
scribing the mutilations of the bodies
of dragons killed by revolutionists at
Tulxum which had been printed on a
press seized from the revolutionists
and executed at wilma and elsewhere.
He also printed addresses to voters
before the elections to parliament put
he destroyed them as soon as they
were brought to the attention of the
higher authorities.
Kisses Greet Speaker
After citing other instances and
promising that the offending officials
will be tried, NJ. Stolypin said:
"The police department as a whole
is exculpated. Some of my subor-
dinates have done wrong, but general
ly they have acted in holy way
(Hisses)
1.-TWO hundred and twenty-eight po-
licemen have been killed recently in
the performance of their duty and sew
eral hundred have been wounded. For
my part 1 shall do my best to remedy
! the many evils that come to my at
teention. Every one wants peace and
order. (Cries of 'enoughO The gov
ernment does not wish to rule the
country by martial law. (More cries of
'enough.D
But in times of disorder weakness
is more dangerous than vigorous meas
ures, which are taken not for repres-
sive motives, but for the protection of
life and property. This is no reaction,
but paves the way for larger meas
ure of true liberty"
Kisses and cat calls fallowed and the
interruption broke out into tempest
of open disorder as M. Stolypin left
the rostrum
President Mourometzeff, after vainly
attempting to secure a hearing for the
next speaker, was compelled to close
the sitting for an hour. When the
session was resumed the demonstra-
tion ceased.
| A resolution to postpone discussion
of NJ. Stolypin's address was adopted.
