Kicy. Russia, July 2t.-The explosion
Of Jews from Kicv continues at the
cate Of 45 individuals a day. From
July 4 until July IS, 497 were expelled
by what IS known as the secC0d meth
od-that is they were forced actually
- .envc town.
During tic same period 1,121 persons
were expelled b. the flTst method,
which in effect is a warning for their
departure. but permits them time for
settlement of private affairs. IN the
majority Of cases the latter method
proved in. Elective, as the Jews in that
category are prone to return to kieV
after temporary absence
During the y days mentioned there
were lJJ explosions from SOlOmenka
End 81 from DcmieffIla,
Expelled in Droves.
Since May l.. when the imperial de-
rec ordering that all Jews, who could
not establish a legal right Of residence
rlsrwheIe. should be returned within
the pale Of the restricted district and
the Polish provinces and the Ukraine,
became cGC Ctive, there have been eX-
PEELED from this city, SClomenka and
Nemieffka, suburbs, 3,0l1 persons by
he second method and 3,641 by the
.!rst method.
However, in making this total of 6,652
allowance must be made for a large
number Of Implications in the count.
Many have been expelled only to re-
turn and be sent away again, while
the explosions from SOlOmenka and
Demicffka are largely composed of
those who were originally expelled from
this city.
Officers Of the Jewish relief commit
tee OF Kiev stated today that roughly
,DtfY fsI 70, 81
ready sent out Of the city and 400
families were still subject to such
treatment The larger figures furnished
day by day dictate the mobility of the
expelled. many Of whom persistently
return to Kiev to face repeated eX-
pulsion.
Drastic Measures Used.
In the case Of the latter the authori-
ties have adopted drastic measures,
the returning ones frequently being ac-
companiod from the city by gendarmes
and in many cases Punishment "by
etappe" has been resOrted to. This
system provides for the shipment of
patches Of Jews to their final destina-
ton under escort of relays of armed
guards.
The news of expulsions is constantly
growing owing to the discovery of IL
legal makeshifts employed by the Jews
to gain the right of residence.
Since January l the authorities have
received 17,272 petitions for right Of
residence, accompanied by documents
purpOrting to establish such right.
Among the number there were discov-
cred 2,152 fraudulent tradesmen's GER
tiflcates. These certificates were issued
by former officials Of the Velikocech
technical school Of Poland, which was
closed in 1903 under the order of the
governor general of Warsaw, After
the closing the school officials con-
tinued to issue antedated certificates
TO Jews paying the necessary sum.
The authorities now require the hold
ars of tradesmen's certificates to make
4 practical demonstration Of their skill.
The greater number are unable to pass
the test. A large number of cases
gainst Jews alleged to be trading IL
legally outside the pale are pending
In the courts of Kiey. Where convic-
tions are secured the goods of the de-
PENDANTS are confiscated.
