MORE JEWS EXPELLED
One Thousand and Two Families Now
Under Orders to Move.

kiev. Russia, May 2S-One thousand and
two Jewish families have now received Of
fetal notification that they must leave the
city in accordance with the determination Of
the Russian government to drive back into
the pale ali Jews who are unable to estab-
lish their legal right to remain outside its
confines. This number. includes fifty fam
lilies TO whom notices of expulsion were
sent to-day. -
An additional 1913 families living in the
suburbs outside the city proper are SUBJ
ject to deportation before June IS. unless in
the mean time they produce proofs of their
right of residence in their present homes.
1t is quite impossible to secure statistics
showing the number of those already ex-
PEELED. Even the Jewish Relief Committee
is unable to state the exact figure, but the
committee estimates that between 200 and
800 Jewish families have quilted the city.
The police records show about thirty
cases where summary measures have al
ready been applied In these instances the
passports were taken away and forwarded
to the original domiciles within the pale of
the banished, where they may be claimed.
Meantime the expelled were provided with
certificates good only while they were en-
route. A number of these cases were of
persons who had failed to leave upon the
particular date fixed for their departure.
The heads of the families were arrested
and taken to the police station. and thence
to the railroad depot and placed upon out
going trains Many families have left with
out waiting for the date set for their ex-
pulsion.
Thus far all of those leaving have pos
sessed funds sufficient TO take them to their
destinations. None has been subjected TO

which the victim is forwarded under police
guard from one city to the next until he
reaches his final destination.
The deportatioLs are proceeding without
attracting especial attention, as those de-
parting just now are residents of the most
crowded sections Of the city, which has a
Jewish population approximating seventy
thousand
A mounted police guard occupied the road
leading to the resort region yesterday, and
turned back wagons containing the summer
effects of Jews, except those showing spe
cial permits from the Governor. .Investiga-
ton fails to substantiate reports that the
furniture of the expelled Jews had been put
in wagons by the police. taken TO the city
limits and dumped there.
The real hardships for the Jews are ex-
pected to come on June II, when the time
limit for their departure expires. More
than thousand Jewish families have been
officially notified that they must leave the
city. but several hundred of them, who
still remain here various pretexts. will
be expelled on that date. Although the
Jewish relief committee is collecting funds
for this contingency. it is feared that many
will face deportation by force rather than
leave the city voluntarily.
The committee has collected several thou
sand dollars, much of which has been ex-
pended for legal advice by the deputation
which visited ST. Petersburg. but hopes are
entertained that adequate funds may be
secured from the considerable colony of
Jewish millionaires In Kieff
