S S JEWS FEAR
ANOTHER MASSACRE

Odessa, May 2a,-The black nun
dreds COX advantage of the funeral
yesterday of the three police officers
assassinated al the central police bu-
reau, to renew their attacks on the
Jews. The whole Jewish population
became terror stricken, all the stores
were closed and the streets were al
most deserted. Jews and students
We're barbarously attacked and beaten
and Jewish houses were fired into.
M pretext for this shooting was
that shot had been fired from the
houses in question, the Well known
provocative tactics that were INDUCED
in at BiaIystok and Siadlce being thus
repeated.
Gov. Gen. kaulbars. however. un-
der the spur of previous instructions
from st. Petersburg, has adopted
measures to prevent the disorders
from growing into a general massacre,
and consequently another prepared
a~nti-Jewish attack has for the time
being been averted- Owing to the un-
reliability of the police the governor
himself was in personal control of the
patrols at the street corners.
The signal for the beginning of the
trouble was the firing of a shot at
the funeral procession from a window.
Thereupon the mans comrades fred
three volleys into the building whence
the shot lac come. shattering all the
windows.
Gen. Kaulbars. who was in the fu-
neral procession, at once ave orders
that his soldiers surround the house.
This was done and the building
searched Thirty persons were ar
rested, including the mar who fired
the shot. He is a member of the
union of true Russians.
Owing to the constant danger to their
lives the large Jewish population of

rvousness They do not venture out
of doors, and all the Jewish stores in
