ANTI.JEWisH UPRISING
Feared in South Russia, as Result of
Shooting of M. Stolypn.

St Petersburg. Sept. 15.-The great
est anxiety is entertained here regard
ing the effect of the attempted assas-
sination of Premier Stolypin upon the
masses in south Russian where the
hostility 10 the Jews is most acute.
Reports are expected momentarily of
anti-Jewish outbreaks, particularly in
Bessarabia. In fact unofficial reports
TO that effect have already reached the
capital but it has thus far been inn
possible to secure any confirmation.
1t is unoffieially whispered that the
condition OF Premier Stoiypin is hope
less and that his injuries, while appar-
entity small, are exceedingly dangerous.
This complexities the situation very
greatly. The population in the south
of Russia have for months been anti
cipatine the imperial visit and have
been worked up TO such a degree of
patriotic fervor that il anti-Jewish
outbreaks occur at this time it is not
easy to see how far they will go or
how they can be controlled.

solved Thursday By the arrest OF Charles
Hunt. Alon2o Hunt and Laura Conley. all
residents of the town of Abbot. The ar
rests were made by Deputy Sheriff Selden
o. Harrington and the prisoners were
taken 10 Dover and before Judge Hiram
Gerrish of the Piseataquis municipal
court The ease against the Conley wa-
man was dismissed. The two Hunts were
arraigned on 4 specific charge of larceny
Of potatoes from the farm of Elmer L..
Fairhrother in Abbot and both pleaded
guilty The court imposed sentence 81
co days in jail in tile ease Of Alonzo Hunt.
while Charles Hunt WAS sentenced to %
days in Jail and the sentence suspended
upon his promise that he would leave the
county. Farmers in Abbot and vicinity
have lost large quantities of potatoes
from their fields and close watch has
failed to enlighten them as TO where their
tubers We're going. The evidence at tie
hearing was TO the effect that the pota-
toes were dug at night and peddled out
in nearby towns

The figures ON the election of 1884
when prohibition was first put into the
constitution indicate the vast change
in feeling which has swept the State in
the past q years. The vote at that
time was, for prohibition 71.27s,
against prohibition 24,799, showing a
prohibition majority of 46,479.
The form OF question as it appeared
upon the official ballot on Monday,
and which because of making the vote
for or against repeal rather than for
or against prohibition, caused some
confusion was prescribed by the Iegis-
lative act under the authority of whici
this special election was held.
Mrs. Lillian NJ. n. Stevens, head of

In Ciiftondale, Mass.

Lynn. Mass, Sept. with numer-
Gus stab wounds in her body. the body
of Mrs. Camille Giennetti, wife of an
Italian laborer was found Friday 100
Yards from her home on Saugus ave-
nue. in Cliftondale. The woman had
been dead about an hour when found.
She had cuts over her right eye. two
in her throat, two in her forearm and
one in her abdomen. There were also
other wounds on the body, which As
sistant Medical Examiner Herbert f.
Newhall thinks may be bullet wounds.
Although the woman's husband, Pas
duale was arrested as he alighted
from a car in Cliftondale square late
today, the police admit tonight that
they do not think they have the right
man. Pasquale is locked up and will
appear in court tomorrow on some
charge to be decided by the judge
which will permit holding him during
an investigation of the woman's death.
Pasquals alihi, the police said to-
night seemed TO be good. He is en-
ployed by a market gardener in Re-
we're and according to the other en-
ployes at Pasquale's place he was at
work this morning as usual, ate his
lunch at his place Of employment and
continued at work during the after
noon. Men have been found who saw
the Italian board his car ut Seollay
square in Boston.
The police say they can find no
blood spots on Pasquales clothing and
the only thing that could be used as
a weapon that they have discovered on
his person is common jack KNIT,
which has no blood stains and could
not possibly have been used any way

WIDE SPREAD PLOT
To Reach Other Personaees Said to Be
Behind This Deed.

st. Petersbure Sept. 15.-There have
been sensational developments in the
inquiry at Kiev into the shooting of NJ.
Stolypin. The crime is declared to
have been of revolutionary origin and
carried out by an agreement of the
protective political police, especially
stationed in the theatre to guard NJ.
Stolypin.
Rapid progress of the inquiry was
due to the eagerness of the municipai-
" 10 clear itself of charge of reck-
Hess distribution of admission cards to
the theatre.
Admission card No. 400. emitting its
holder to n seat in the 18th row OF
the theatre was found on Bogron. 1t
was issued by the municipality upon
| personal request signed by Inspector
of Political Police Kuliabko and by
him handed over To the agent of Bog
IRON. The municipality had taken the
precaution to telegraph kuliabkos re
ceipt and in face of this overwhelming
evidence protective police officers were
Obliged TO admit the unsavory facts of
Bogroff's past,
AT the inquiry today, Bogroff de-
clared that he intended to attempt 10
take the life of higher parsonage
than NJ. Stolvpin, but feared this
would precipitnte an anti-Jewish out
break.
Boeroff's brother Vladimir was arrest
ed here today.
The details of the attack resemble
somewhat those OF the assassination OF
President Mckinley at Buffalo. During
the first intermission of the opera many
members of the audience went forward
TO shake hands with NJ. Stolypin. Among
them were persons unknown to the pre-
mier. but whom nevertheless he met
graciously and answered questions they
put to him.
During the second intermission the
same informally was in progress and
when Bogroff approached NJ. Stolypin the
latter interrupted conversation with
Minister of War Snkhomlinoff and faced
the new conner The next moment pistol
shots broke the comparative silence of
the audience Bogroff, after he had emp
tied his revolver. point blank at the pre-
mier rushed out into the aisle, still
clutching the weapon. He had reached
a side exit in his effort to escape. but
here an officer Intercepted him. The next
moment the would-be assassin was fell
ed and trodden under foot by the angry
spectators The officer unsheated his
sabre and endeavored to drive back the
people, but before he was able to ac-
conplish this task Bogroff had been
trampled into insensibility.
a special train vas sent from here to-
day to the Stolypin estate in Kovno prov
ince to convey the premier's family to
Kiev.
Minister of Finance Kokovsoff left
kiev today for st. Petersburg to as
sumo charge of the government.
