Jews Causes Outbreak.
R0UMANIANS FLEE COUNTRY
Eighty Five Killed and Many Wounded
in Asrarian Disorders-Rounan anian
Government Still Sending Troops To
oistriet-AIl Moldiva Involved.

VIENNA, March 22.-Tae serious
ness of the situation In Northern Mol
davia, growing out of the Agrarian dis
orders has not according to the latest
telegraphic reports, been exaggerated.
1t Is estimated tonight that four hun
dred farms in Moliavia have been de-
vastated, eight thousand fugitives have
fled over the Roumanian frontier into
Austria and a total Of ten thousand
Jews are homeless. The number of
dead cannot be given accurately but
the reports of today give a total of
IS men killed and about $50 wounded.
The outbreak today seems to have been
partially suppressed. The Roumanian
government Is still sending troops in
to that district. Practically the entire
province of Moldavia has been involv-
ed. The movement is more really agra
rian than anti-Semetic. The peasants
are ip revolt against the great farm
Ing trust which has leased half the
cultivable lands in Moldavia. The en-
tee landlords who control the trust are
Jews and this fact brings the ire of
the peasants down upon any and all
Jews they meet.

closed today. District Attorney Lang

II Justice Fitzgerald decides to ap-
point one. The letters have to do
chiefly with matters personal to Thaw
and are of no special interest except
as they may have possible hearing on

Thaw is a paranoic, who although le-
gally responsible when he killed White,
Is now in sucn state Of mental in
capacity as to be unable to consult in

not be on trial for his life. The de-
fense is preparing affidavits to the
contrary and the matter will come be-
fore the court Tuesday. Meantime the
fury is excused until Wednesday when
the Judge may decide regarding the
appointment of a commission in lun-
acy. The affidavits of the defense will
