tiles, wealthy English Jews, it is re-
ported today, are organizing to bring
united pressure on the government to
demand that it call halt on Russia.
The agitation is expected to take tho
trend Of demand for an international

The local movement is secret at pres
ent.
The official Russian news agency and
the Russian newspapers, under orders
from the government, are denying the
story Of the massacre. The accounts
of the special correspondents Of the
large papers in every city in Europe
confirm the report, however, placing
the number of dead between twenty
and thirty and hundreds of wounded.
The stories of several Jews who fed
from Kieff after the massacre tele-
graphed to friends in other parts Of
Europe, give revolving details of the
affair. They say the Ghetto is devas-

Actual work on the bridge from
South Amboy to this city is about to
be begun by the Jersey Central Trae-
tion Company. Eighty-foot test piles
have been driven east of the county
bridge to sample the river bottom,
which was found rather unsolid at the
depth driven.
A schedule of material is being pre-
pared and actual work on the system
may be commenced at any date Rep
resentatives of the Jersey Central have
secured maps and data regarding the
ground to be traversed from Mason
and Smith. The matter of making the
start rests with the Jersey Central
which Is in readiness to place a gang
of men at work as soon as the first con-
significant of material is sent to South
Amboy, where the beginning is to be
made.
The trolley line is to extend across
the Raritan river, upon four-pile, six
teen-foot bents bridge, east Of the
present county bridge. 1t is believed
that the river bottom will furnish a
sufficiently solid foundation for the
piling, although it has been tested and
found muddy.
The trolley company is arranging
matters so that no delays will result
when actual work has been commenced.
Their representative are carefully
covering every foot of ground and wa
ter to be traversed, using city and
