KIEV, Russia, July 19.-The expul-
sion Of Jews from Kiev continues at
the rate of forty-fve a day. From
July until July is, 497 were expelled
by what is known as the second meth
od-that is. they were forced actually
to leave town. During the same
period 1121 persons were expelled by
the first method, which in effect Is
warning for their departure but per-
mits them time for settlement OF
private affairs.
In the majority of cases the latter
method proved Intellectual, as the Jews
in that category are prone to return
to Kiev after temporary absence.
6652 SENT OUT
Since May "a, when the imperial de-
cree ordering that all Jews who could
not establish a legal right of residence
elsewhere should be returned within
the pale, the restricted district of the
Polish provinces and the Ukraine be-
came effective, there have been eX-
pelled from this city, Solemnka and
Dmieffka suburbs BOIL persons by the
second method and 3641 by the first
method. However, in making TINS
total of 6652 allowance must be mace
for a large number of Implications IN
the count Many have been expelled
only to return and be sent away again,
while the expulsions from Solemnka
and Dmieffka are largely composed OF
those who were originally expelled
from this city.
Offcers of the Jewish relief commit
tee of Kiev stated today that, rough
ly estimated, 700 families had been
already sent out of the city and 400
families were still subject to such
treatment. The larger figures fur
nished day by day indicate the mo-
bility of the expelled. many of whom
persistently return to Kiev to face re-
peated expulsion.
DRASTIC MEASURES
In the case Of the latter the authorf-
ties have adopted drastic measures,
the returning ones frequently being
accompanied from the city by gend-
armes and in many cases banishment
by "etapped" has been resorted to.
This system provides for the ship
ment of patches of Jews to their final
destination under relays of guards.
The number of eXpusions is con-
stantly growing owing to discovery OF
illegal makeshifts employed by the
Jews to gain the right of residence.
FRAUDULENT CERTIFICATES
Since January the authorities have
received 1922 petitions for right OF
residence, accompanied Dy uocuhlen 70
purporting to establish such right.
Among the number there were dis
covered 2152 fraudulent tradesmen's 8
certificates. These certificates were
issued by former officials of the Veil
kocech technical school of Poland,
which was closed in 1903 under the
order of the governor general of War
Jaw. After the closing the school
authorities continued to issue ante
dated certificates to Jews paying the
necessary sums.
The authorities now require holders
of tradesmens certificates to make a
practical demonstration of their skill.
The greater number are unable to
pass the test.
A large number of cases against
Jews alleged to be trading illegally
outside the pale are pending in the
courts of Kiev. Where convictions are
secured the goods of the defendant are
confiscated.
