TRYING TO GIVE AID
TO RUSSIAN JEWS


Washington, May 1.-(Special 1.-THE
state department has cabled the United
States consul at Odessa, Russia, inquir-
ing as to the truth of the published re-
port that there had been a massacre and
election of Jews, either there or at Kieff.
Russia, April 3d.
1.-The citizens of the United States have
heard with, profound horror reports from
time to time of massacres of the Jews
in Russia" says a resolution introduced
today by Representative Francis Burton
Harrison, of New York, and which re-
quests the president to ''use such good
and friendly offices with the Russian
government as the traditional friendship
between the two nations may justify to
secure action by the Russian government
to prevent the recurrence of such out
RACES in the future
The resolution says it is the sentiment
that the prosecutions of the Jews in
Russia and restrictions on their natural
rights to life, liberty and happiness are
shocking to the enlightened conscience
of mankind and to be severely condemned
by the American people,

CONTRACTION FELT
IN IRON MARKET

New York, May 1.-The steel mills suf-
fered from further contraction in bust
ness last week. and the blast furnaces Sc
cured lean returns from solicitations for
orders. The railroads placed few con-
tracts for equipment, including cars, To-
comotives and rails. The orders for
bridges. too, were especially disappoint-
ing because of the failure to fulfill pre-
vious assurances that contracts for up
ward of $4,000 tons would be awarded
before May 1.
bu. ngs and manufacturing plant extern
sons were only 1900 tons, but the new
orders placed were fully 10000 tons. Very
low prices were made on both fabricated
and structural contracts, and independent
concerns continued to shade wire prod
ucts 81 to 81 per ton, and black and gall
vanized sheets 81 to 80 per ton re-
spectively, but tin plate and blue annealed
sheets have commanded premiums for
early shipments.
Taking April as a whole the recession
In the trade has been marked. Locomo-
tive orders have been the exception, the
engine works booking orders for 521 loco
motives. Car orders have been less than
10000, only 1900 cars being ordered last
week. April railcontracts were less than
1901 900 tons.
The decline in pig iron in April was sc
cents to 81 per ton, and since January
the break has ranged from 50 to "a pei
| ton, but the downward movement is now
meeting with more resistance. The blow
| ing out of nearly 30 blast furnaces dur
| ing the month. with an average daily ca
pacity of 200 tons each, means ,contrac'
ton of about 100000 tons in the rate
| of annual production. There were no i'm
portant sales last week in any section.

Kids grievous error in living century
.ano a half too early was shown con-
clusively this week when $17,ooo,o0o worth
of gold coin and bullion was shipped
from New York to England. but not
withstanding this fact, it was pointed
out that at least one gigantic liner had
begun TO scent danger. and that the
ocean greyhounds that carry millions in
gold back and forth may be equipped
with dirigible balons to give chase to
invaders that may slip from some spot
on the bleak North Atlantic coast or the
shores of the British isles, swooping
down upon the treasure carrying ships
unawares
On Tuesday the Kron Prinzessin Cecelie

STEAMER VENUS
OFF TO NICARAGUA

New Orleans, May 1.-(SpeciaD-The
United States government. through its
local officers, has released the Madriz
Venus and given the boat permission to
leave for Nicaragua.
Her alleged object is to reinforce Pres
ident Madriz and his government.
This action followed that of agents of
tie Estrada provisional government. who
epdeavored In various ways to have the
vessel kept from sailing bN government
orders.
The Venus carries a crew of forty men
with her. although she is a comparative
" small boat. Estrada sympathizers
declare that she will pick up more men
as she goes down the Mississippi river
and will take them aboard to reinforce
the Madriz cause. They also assert that
the boat will be used as gunboat FOR
the Madriz government.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-05-02

making the heaviest outflow of gold of
any week in the markets history. Sub
sequently about 100000 more gold has
been consigned.
Until these shipments the week of Nav
IA, 1904, had held the record with ship
mcnts of $13,9O0,0O0. The increased pro-
duction of gold in America and Ameri-
car territories indicates that the exports
of gold from New York will become
heavier and heavier Elaborate precau-
tions are now taken for safegua riding the
shipments of the metal, but the advanc-
ing strides in aviation add a new danger.
Treasure ships are safe from aeroplanes.
The only thing to be feared now are
dirigible balloons, capable of carrying five
and six men and thousands of pounds of
excess weight.
The use of dirigible balloons makes 1t
possible for outlaws to land in some
secluded spot with their plumber The
danger from fast launches or piratical
vessels is at a minimum because the
vessels must touch at a port with their
cargo of loot. With balloon the gold
could be taken to some point removed
from the coast line
A steamship official today, discussing
the possible danger from sky pirates,
said:
1T sounds like fiction, but it is a fact.
AT tne present time there is no likelihood
of ships being Boarded from drigible
balloons, but within few years the dan
ger will become quite formidable Sup
pose a big dirigibe should sweep down
upon an unarmed ship carrying millions
OF dollars in gold and the captain should
be warned that, unless he gave up the
treasure on board. dynamite would be
hurled upon the deck of the vessel. 1t
would be comparatively easy for the
pirates to haul up the packages of pre-
cious metal with ropes. The captain of
the ship, in order to save the lives of his
passengers, would have to consent to the
looting. The only remedies would be for
the ships to carry arms and ammunition
or balloons in which to follow, the
pirates. Both may be found necessary
in the course of time

MAY MAKE EFFORT
TO CAPTURE SHIP

New Orleans, May 1.-That deter
mined effort will be made by the ESTRADA
forces on the east coast of Nicaragua
this week to either capture or SINK the
steamship Venus, which sailed from here
late yesterday destined to go to Greytown
with munitions of war for the Madriz
army, is the impression in New orleans.
Following their unsuccessful enorts TO
detain the Venus at this port by legal ac-
ton it is reported here that the insur-
gents have fully armed! and equipped three
small vessels to attack the Venus before
1t reaches Greytown.
1t was indicated that those In charge
of the Venus anticipated a possible en-
counter, Captain Hyland being quoted to
the effect that he apprehended that the
trip would be attended with more or less
danger.
An added degree of interest to a pos.
sible attack of the ship attaches to the
fact that it is of British register and f1tei
the British flag. That international COM
piications might ensue in case of an en-
counter is the possibility pointed out here

CONSERVATION OF
ALASKAN SEALS

Washington, May 1.-Conservation of the
Alaskan sea herds is matter to which
Secretary Nagel, of the department of
commerce and labor, Is giving close at
tention. Congress has given the secretary
discretionary authority, and it will rest
with him whether a certain number of
the animals are to be slaughtered yearly
or whether he will stop sealing altogether
for a time The lease Of the North Amer
icans Commercial company which for 20
years has enjoyed the exclusively priv.
ilege OF taking the seals, expired yester-
day.
Experts believe that by the enforce
ment of closed season for one or more
years, or by material restrictions in the
number authorized to be legally killed, the
herds may be replenished, and an indus
try producing, an article of wear dear to
the feminine heart may be revived. From
1885 to 1850 the seal islands were closed to
sealing operations, the suspension result
ing in greatly increased herds
