Washington, Sept. 10.-The depart
ment Of agriculture is seeking plan
by which the farmer may cheaply mako
his own denaturized alcohol for light
and fuel. DIR. Galloway, chief Of the
bureau Of plant industry, under direc-
ton of. Secretary; Wilson, has sent
agents to study the big potato that is
grown in many sections of the CONT
nent and arrange for securing seed and
transplanting it in this country. 49,
This potato has small value for edible
purposes, but Is several times as large
as the one commonly seen in this co,in-
try. From an acre Of ground it is
claimed enough Of them, can be pro-
duced+ to make 600 gallons Of alcohol,
which means light, heat and power for
"a farm household for year.
20 This potato is to be developed and
acclimated for the different sections Of
the United. States as soon as possible,
After the alcohol is taken from it, the
residue is still useful for feeding live
stock. Secretary Wilson and DR.. Gal
loway anticipate that In q few, years
it will constitute one Of the most use
full and valuable crops. .e.l - s-, s s.
The department has completed ar
rangements with a big establishment
in the west for the use Of 10000 tons Of
its refuse-cornstalks, husks, tops and
ends Of beets, cobs, ctc.-to be devoted
to systematic experiments in the reduc-
ton of alcohol. It is we'll known that
there is~plenty of alcohol in all these
things. The proposition is to find wheth-
er it can be taken out at reasonable
cost.

They began numbering Jews on every

day Sunday. The CHASTITY work of MUIR
dering and pillaging continued until an
early hour this morning when Governor
General Skallon telegraphed for, per-
mission to use the artillery. Four bat
teries then opened fire down Pienkna,
Warsaw and Athena streets, which were
inhabited by thousands Of Jews. The
destruction. was horrible: AS a result
of the general slaughter, it is estimated
that fully 200 Jews have been killed
and 1000 wounded. There are 5000
prisoners in custody, great many of
whom are wounded. Not a soldier was
killed. -.....> .
Officers Permit Looting. -
This morning squads of soldiers were
parading thru the streets selling pill
LACED watches and jewelry. The army
officers openly countenanced the sell
ing of loot. The local governor, Englke,
took no steps to prevent the outrage.
Six buildings in the big bazaar Of
the city are now in flames, adding an
other terror to the killing and plum
derlng which has been going on here
for the last thirty-six hours. ss.f
Frequent shots and. occasional vol

parts of the town, but because Of the
general panic it is. difficult to learn
accurately just what is occurring.
Hundreds of Jews are assembled at
the railroad station awaiting means
of getting out Of town, but Siedlce is
surrounded by troops who do not per-
nit exit or entrance.
Field guns occupy points of vantage
on the principal streets.
Wholesale Plundering. -.
When terrorists began fusilades from
roofs and windows on Saturday against
soldiers and policemen who were pa
trolling the streets, troops surrounded
the houses from which the firing line
came and poured in volleys thru win
dows and doors. This was followed by
search of the premises which soon
developed into wholesale plundering
and subsequently into a massacre and
slaughter. s.,
Owners who defended their property
were killed or wounded. Any person
seen leaving house or looking out of
window was shot without mercy.

st. Petersburg, Sept: 10.-The predic.
tions made in these dispatches on Aug

Russian Poland, .unhappily have been
justified by the fighting which broke
out Saturday night and developed yes
terday into carnival Of indiscriminate
slaughter and pillage, in which the SOL
tunate Jews were shot and bayo-
neted in the streets Of the town,
Houses and shops were broken into and
sacked.
Valuables were carried off and of.
fered for sale by soldiers to passengers
on passing trains.
In addition to the Jews, several Chris
tlans and even some officers met their
death in the fighting. The number of
Victims has not yet been established
but a conservative estimate places it
at l4O. The Jewish fugutives. who
throng the railroad stations at Siedlce
are In state of panic. Reports re-
ceived here from Warsaw and Other
towns in the vicinity Of Siedlce place
the number of victims at several hun.
