ANOTHER PLAN FOR
EXPULSION OF JEWS
Russian Government Is Driv-
ing Out Jew Druggists
MUST PROVE BUSINESS
The Government officials Claim That
Many So-CnlIed Jewish Drug
gists Are Only Holding
False Certificates

St Petersburg, June BIN furtherance
of its purpose to drive back into the Pale
the district formed by the Polish prov
inces and the Ukraine-all Jews who
cannot establish a legal right of resi-
dence outside its confines the Russian
government is now pursuing a close in
quiry regarding those engaged in the
drug business, or who claim to be en-
gagged.
The proprietors of the. drug stores
chiefly are Jews, and their employees, as
well as statesmen for drug houses travel
ing In the interior are now called upon
not only to exhibit pharmaceutic GER
tifcates, but to satisfy the authorities
for which they are licensed.
These certificates are easily obtained
and are generally held by drug store
employees, and those travelling as phar-
mateutical assistants and statesmen.
Many Jews, it is claimed by the govern
nent, have established residences on the
strength of their certificates and SUISSE
quently ceased to follow the profession
or business. All such now are subject
to expulsion. The owners of drug stores
OF clerks and apprentices in every in
stance where the authorities consider
that the number employed is out of pro-
portion to the business done. Statesmen
permitted by law to travel are compelled
in doubtful cases to produce the bills of
lading in proof of the actual business
which they are doing.
In response to representations made by
him M. Friedman, Jewish member of the
duma, was informed today that Emperor
Nicholas had authorized the Caucasian
authorities to make concessions to Jews
residing temporarily in the Caucasus.
The health resorts of the Caucasus are
frequerted by persons desiring to take
the baths. The law, however, forbids the
residence of Jews in the district. Dur
ing the season OF 1909 the government au-
thorized visits to resorts by Hebrews and
recently M Friedman received petition
from members of his race asking that
they be granted similar privileges during
the present season.
The authorities of the Caucasus are
now empowered to grant permits to Jews
requiring medical treatment, to visit the
health resorts during the season of 1910,
but only upon the presentation by the ap-
plicants of certificates from the local
medical commissions, showing that such
treatment is required. Hebrews engaged
in business in the Caucasus or who are
unable to satisfy the commission that
they are there for their health, are sub
ject to expulsion.
Twenty families have been ordered
to yeave Lisichansk. town in the coal
region. petition in their behalf signed
by their neighbors has been sent to

await the action Of the federal court on
the charge of robbing the postoffice at
Stockholm, S. D., on the night of Decem-
Der %. O'Brien and Howard are middle
aged men, while Smith Ia somewhat
younger. The evidence against them Is
so strong that there appears to be little
doubt Of their conviction. The postoffice
Is located in a store at Stockholm, and the
men secured their loot both from the post
office and the stock OF merchandise. After
looting the building they went to e livery
barn and stole team, but met with the
mishap which eventually led to their ar
rest when they ran into a barbed wire
fence three miles from Stockholm, and
were compelled TO walk to South Shore,
four miles farther Arriving there, O'Brien
and Smith hid IN a barn, while Howard
walked on to Forestville. All three men
were captured the next day and were hur-
ried to the county jail at Watertown, where
they were kept until Deputy Marshal Byron
McVeigh could bring them to Aberdeen.
