ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE bill
providing for the abolition of the Jew
ish pale which has been introduced in
the duma. has no chance of enactment.
It's introduction. however is of impor
tance, as it shows the strength of the
element which favors giving to the
Jews the right of unrestricted residence
IN Russia. 1t is signed by 163 members
of he opposition in the legislative body
with which originated the present anti
Hebrew campaign.
The total membership of the duma is
40. and accordingly the measure las
the support of more than one-third OF
the chamber.
The present bill is a revival of the leg
isla ton introduced by the constitutional
democrats last December and which was
short lived. Its supporters include n. A.
Khomyakoff independent member from
the province of Smoensk and formerly
president of the duma; Baron de Meyen-
dorff, octoberist. from the Baltic prov
nces and formerly second vice president
of the duma, and other members of the
ministerial party.
Law Retards Development.
The bill is severe arraignment of the
Jewish disa abilities act. which is perpetu-
ated in the pending measure on the in
viOlability of the person. 1t declares
that restricting the residence of Jews TO
the confines of the Polish provinces and
the Ukraine, designated as the pale, not
only inf1icts wrongs upon the Jews, but
hampers the economic development of
Russia. demoralizes the police, who are
frequently bribed. and degrades the Rus
sian people by teaching them to Cypress
another race.
After some discussion the measure will
be shelved, along with the bill for the
abolition of the death panelty and other
we'll intentioned legislation.
