BERLIN, Sept. 2f.-Fifty jew.
tsh men and women have been
massacred, 100 others seriously
injured and a thousand beaten by
. ninfuriated mob of Russians at
kief, according to late dispatches
received here this afternoon. Ac-
cording to the reports, the mas
sacre is much like the last. which
occurred i'm the Russian city, when
hundreds OF Jews were murdered.
The slaughter began Thursday
and did not end until Monday.
Great Terror Exists
The greatest terror exists among
the Jews and none of them dare
venture on the thoroughfares.
Many have congregated i'm their
houses and have armed them-
selves to withstand the attacks.
Women Stripped of Clothes
Hundreds of Jewish women
and girls were stripped of
their wearing apparel by the
Russian mob, chained togeth-
er and marched naked down
the streets where the howl.
Ing mob spat upon them.
Two boys who sought to
defend their mother and sis
ters were thrown into a bon
fire.
The police, as during the last
massacre, made but half-heartsd
attempts to stop the butcheries.
During the three days of terror
the Russians destroyed property
to the value of hundreds of thon-
sands Of dollars. A thousand
Jews have been beaten and slight
ly injured In the clashes.
The Jews have scant means of
defense and during the riots thny
succeeded in killing three Rus
slams in the numerous encounters.
After the stores of the Jews
were broken into thieves looted
them and carried off everything
of value.
The reactionary party is ,e-
sponsible for the slaughter Of the
Jews, according to the residents
OF this city who are conversant
with the situation. Members of
the organization, it is said, are
enraged at the Jews because they
have been supporting the reform
ers.
While the Jewish New Year
was being celebrated the massacre
was inaugurated by an attack On
a synagogue, where religious SER
vices were being held.
Several women were pulled
from the roof of building, where
they had sought safety, and scald-
ed to death by the mob. A Jewish
rabbi was murdered and his syna-
gogue wrecked.
After remaihing passive for
three days the authorities this
afternoon called out the troops.

TREASURER MAY
COLLECT ALL
MONEY

The finance committee of .he
council has prepared report to
be given to the council tomorrow
night urging that all the city Off
cials be checked up. 1t also recon-
mends that the law be enforced
and that all monies be paid to the
treasurer except where otherwise
provided for by ordinance.
This will hit the boiler inspec-
tor and probably the market mas
ter, but it is conceded that unless
they collect their own fees 1t will
be practically impossible for eithe CT
of these officials to do this work
without causing great inconven-
fence to the people.

(WTllten OH bOdrQ the oscar IL.
for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-After
one of the most delightful trips OF
my life across the Atlantic aboard
the steamer Oscar II. / am indeed
glad to see once more the shores
of my native land. / wish to say
that l have come from the north
pole and I have brought the story
of my trip and the data with me-
The public already has tangible
and specific records of my trip.
In very short time the complete
narrative with all my observations
will be published and PLACED be-
fore the world for examination. 1t
should be easy for every one to
understand why l cannot, on the
impulse of the moment, read off
the manuscript covering my work
of the last two years. 80
All charges, accusations and ex-
pressions of disbelief regarding
my success In reaching the pole
are based entirely on Ignorance
of the supplementary data I pos-
sess. Criticism. too. has : been
based on by envious persons on
the errors in the reproduction Of
my first dispatch.
1 have come home prepared. TO
enter into Arguments with either
one or fifty men. At present 1
am here with a clear record over
which ] have q right to display a
certain pride. -
When scientists study my de-
tailed observations. and narratives,
they are certain to be compelled
to admit the truth of my state-
ments. I am perfectly willing to
abide by the final verdict of this
record when 1t is gone over by
competent judges.
This is to be my last word In
this discussion and the verdict IF
the judges alone can satisfy the
public as to the truth Of my state
In addition to my data and OBJ
servations I shall bring human
witnesses to America to prove
that I have been to the north
pole.

Big fIoti|Ia
Surrounds
Peary
Craft Of Every Descrip-
tion, Crowded With
Cheering Humanity Ac-
companies Him Into
Harbor.
(By United Press Leased Wire }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SYDNEY, N. s., Sept. al
Surrounded by a flotilla of a hun
dred craft of every description,
which were crowded with cheer
ing humanity, the Roosevelt, with
Commander Peary on board,
steamed slowly into Sydney har-
Dor this afternoon. AS the ves-
sci made it's way through the
boats clustered about 1t, Peary
stood near the bow. BY his side
Mrs. Peary was seen. She had
boarded the Roosevelt ten miles
to the north of Point Low from
the yacht Sheelah.
AS soon as the Roosevelt had
been brought to a stop in the
stream she was boarded by the
city and Dominion officials, who
officially welcomed the American
explorer.
Great Demonstration.
The welcome accorded Peary
here was the greatest demonstra-
tion ever given to anyone in this
section of the Dominion. The city
is crowded with visitors from the
surrounding countryside and is
lavishly decorated with flags and
emblems In honor of Commander
Peary.
When the Roosevelt approached
the harbor, vessels of all sizes
shot from the shore, loaded down
with admirers of the explorer.
Upon nearer approach, the whis-
ties Of the tugboats and the ves-
sells at anchor began, and contin-
ued until the Roosevelt was
slowed down. and the reception
committee boarded the steamer to
give him official greetings and to
welcome him once more to civili-
zation after his successful dash to
the north pole.
Children Are Proud.
Probably the proudest children
in the world today are the two
children of Commander Peary,
who accompanied their mother
on the Sheelah and with her
boarded the Roosevelt before her
arrival here.
While the reception committee
was welcoming Commander Peary.
his son Robert stood close to the
side of his elder sister, holding
tightly to her hand, while his
cheeks burned with the excite
ment which he hardly was able
to control. and his eyes never
left the figure Of his father.
Commander Peary, with hts
family and a party of friends will
leave for Bangor, Maine, tomor-
row, arriving there Thursday.

FOR NEGlECT|NG
HIS WIFE
FRANK w. SMITH SENTENCED
TO SIX MONTHS-PROMISES
TO DO BETTER, AND WILL
BE RELEASED AT END OF 80
DAYS.

Frank w. Smith was today sem
fenced to serve six months in the
county Jail upon the charge of
neglecting his wife. After state
ment made by Smith to the effect
that he was ashamed of himself
and that if given a chance he
would take good care of his wife
and never touch drink again, JUS
tice Card stated that he would re-
lease the prisoner after 80 days
on parole and give him a chance
to make good his word.
Mrs. Smith is suffering with
tuberculosis. She had decided to
live in a tent on G street, and last
Saturday she went to the tent ex-
pecting to find that her husband
had set up stove in 1t. but, in
stead, he had gone down town and
become intoxicated. She was COM
PEELED to sleep in the tent without
a fire, and meanwhile Smith went
to Seattle, where he continued to
drink, borrowing money as he
went.
Humane Officer Van Voris has
been taking care of the woman
during the past two days, and,
while Smith is incarcerated, the
Associated Charities will care for
her.
Judge Easterdav fcsued an or
der this afternoon declaring Smith
an habitual drunkard. Saloons
will now be prohibited from SELL
ing him liquor.

Contest Editor: My husband
and myself, having a strong de-
sire to see the busy Northwest
for ourselves, came to Tacoma
about a year ago, as this city
seemed to us a particularly good
point from which to make our
observations.
We first installed ourselves in
pleasant housekeeping rooms In
the downtown district; but, al
though this proved pleasant To-
cation to- two country-bred peo-
pie, we found that our family
nurse, which held only $40 when
we landed here, would not stand
the pressure of SIT per month for
rent, gas and wood only; so we
began to look about for something
cheaper, and after short search
found a new, clean little two-room
house in a pleasant city addition,
three miles from Pacific avenue,
but with good car service.
! For this place we pay IS per
month, and may have our fuel.

are many other just such places
In the ety. too, If one is willing
to live out little way.
AS we were strangers here,
and our capital back home" so
small that we dare not touch 1t
fer living expenses, my. husband
hunted determinedly for work.
and at the end of few weeks
found it; a job which at first paid
from IS to SIS per week. When
the SIS began to come steadily,
we found we could live very COM
and by paying SO little
rent could lay away some money
each Saturday night, until now
our handbook shows a balance in
our favor of s91. This we will
have to draw upon, of course, to
make ourselves comfortable for
the chilly, damp winter season.
We supply our table with such
food necessary to the needs of a
man doing hard work and of a
wife who Graves some of the dain-
ty things which help to relieve
the monotony of everyday life.
We are not obliged to do
without all the pleasures either.
We have done the city and sur
pretty thoroughly. by
means of the street cars and
cheap excursions, and occasional
ly have good laugh at the
vaudeville.
Upon the question of dress, no
two women ever agree. / belong
to the class who prefer a CON
tented face beneath a plain hat
to face wearing a worried,
frightened expression under a
costly headgear. Therefore, our
dress is plain and comfortable
and appears well enough that We
may attend one of the big down.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
HOQUIAM, Sept. 21.-As a result
of meeting of the Single Manu-
facturers' association late yesterday
afternoon, II is probable that every
mill in this section will close by
next Saturday. Al few mills have
been running by acceding to the de-
mands of the shingle weavers for
an advance in wages. These mills,
however, have come to an under
standing with the other manufac-
turers, and will close down to
await better market conditions.

TAKE OVER
THE KANSAS VELVET

The Kansas City Velvet company has
decided to temporarily suspend opera
tions on company account on their lease
on the Aigae claim, and has let sub
lease to Ed Hardy, J. j. Mclsaacs and
Larry Cook. The subleasers start work
where the company left off, and have
ore in sight which they will follow with
a winze from the 55-foot level from
the Truitt shaft. A shipment of about
IL tons of fair ore was made by the
company last week as cleanup before
turning the workings over to sub
leasers. Numerous small shipments OF
good ore have been made by the COM
pany during the past nine months, re-
turns being about sufficient to meet ex-
penses of operation while prospecting
for something better, but the company
has now decided to let sub-leasers try
their hand at it for a while.

TWO SHIFTS ARE SINKING
GARRISON LEASE SHAFT

Two shifts are pushing the shaft on
the Garrison or Precious Metals lease
on the Atlanta at a good rate, and the
shaft is in exceedingly favorable ground
at a depth of 535 feet. The formation
is dacite, showing considerable quanti-
ties if iron sulphides. Present plans
are to sink to $50 feet before starting
any further lateral work, and then
crosscut will be driven to the north
east to cut the ST. Ives and other ledges
in that direction. 1t is possible that
the shaft will encounter the Cherokee
vein at about the $50 point, without
prosecuting. The 40-h. p. hoist that
was recently installed is doing its work
in fine shape, and is capable of sink
ing to the 1000-foot level.
