MASSACRES IN RUSSIA
DECLARED TO Be PLAN
Statement of American Jewish
Committee Regarding
Kiev Dispatches.

NEW YORK, May 1e.-The American
Jewish committee. when asked by the As
ISOLATED Press for its views respecting
the recent dispatches from Kiev. author
ICED the following statement:
THE committee is satisfied that only
wide publicity can avert recurrence
of the horrible massacres. instigated by
the Russian government, which took place
between 1903 and 1908, especially at Kish-
ineff, Odessa and Bialystok. when thou
sands of Jews were foully masacred and
millions Of property destroyed.
THE monstrous and Infamous stories
recently sent out by the Russian gov
eminent from St. Petersburg, Kiev and
Moscow, and published in American news
papers, respecting the alleged murder Of
boy at kiev, are precisely similar to
the unfounded tales circulated by the
Russian government previous to the Kish-
ineff, Odessa and Bialystok pogroms.
Baseless Calumnies.
Investigation shows that the stories
newspapers are founded upon baseless
calumnies which appeared several weeks
ago in the we'll known anti-Semitic and
Kolokol Semschtina, and especially in
the foremost organ of the reactionaries,
the Novoe Vremya. which, as is we'll
known, Is the mOuthpiece of the Russian
government in ST. Petersburg.
THE author of the article in the Novoe
Vremya is one Prince Mentchikow, one
Of the star editors of that paper. He
was formerly a liberal and follower Of
Tolstoi, but within the last ten years
he has sold himself to the editor of the
Novoe Vremya and since then has at
tackled every progressive movement In
Russia and vilely slandered the Jews
at every opportunity. A brother OF
Premier StoIypin, A. Stolypin, Is one of
the principal editors of Novoe Vremya
Massacres the Usual Resort.
The political situation in Russia at
the present time. due to the recent re-
dictionary victory of the czar and his
prime minister. Stolypin, is one Of in
tense excitement. The Russian govern
ment has always resorted to massacres
Of Jews whenever the political stu
ton was one Of great terseness. and
has repeatedly utilized this method to
provide an outlet for the pent-up feel
ings Of her excited populace. The gov
eminent. by the use Of the soldiery,
the police and the administrative Off
Gals. has always fnstigated and direct
ed the massacre al such times.
There Is a similar condition at the
present moment. and unless the widest
publicity Is given to the villainies
which the Russian government never
hesitates to perpetrate in order to
serve her own purposes. the world is
likely to see a repetition at any time
Of the indescribably horrible scenes
which are, for the present, held in abey-
ance by the Russian government The
Russian government always has con-
trolled the situation absolutely. AS
Prince Urussof, formerly governor of
Bessarabia and now a prisoner on his
own estates, stated in a speech in the
duma, the Russian government can
turn on a pogrom Of tens or Of ten
thousands, when and how 1t pleases'

BRIBERY CHARGE HEARD,
DEMURRER IS ARGUED

Justice Wright in Criminal Court No. l
today required the government to elect
between the two indictments pending
against Peter @. Thomson OF Hamilton.
Ohio, president Of the Champion Coated
Paper Company, charged with having
given Maj w. p. Zantzinger, postal
card agent OF the United States. 500 TO
influence the latters action in passing
upon the quality of paper to be fur
nished the public printer under a contract
with the Post Office Department.
United States Attorney Wilson informed
the court that he would abandon the first
indictment. returned by he grand jury
June 10. 1870 and would stand on the
Indictment found October 3. 1910.
A demurrer filed to the selected indict-
ment was argued at length before Justice
Wright, and taken under Amusement by
him.
Attorney Wade II. Ellis, for the de-
PENDANT, urged the court to quash the in
dictment on the ground that under sec
ton 80 Of the criminal code the charge
Of bribery could be sustained only where
the officer had some official function to
perform and some duty imposed upon
him by law in respect or which an at
tempt was made to offer him money to
induce him to depart from the path of
duty.
In view of the fact. he contended that
It was not the province or function OF
Maj. ZantZinger either to accept or re-
ject the paper furnished for postal cards,
no money given him, if any han been
given, to influence his action in respect to
this matter could sustain the charge of
bribery.
Mr.. Ellis urged that the purchasing
agent OF the Post Office Department was
the only person whose duty 1t was to ac-
cept or reject paper for postal cards or
other supplies.
United States Attorney Wilson. re-
plying to this contention, pointed out
to the court that the appropriation act
which created the Office of postal card
agent made 1t the latter's duty to
examine postal cards. The act does
not infinitely define. he said. the duties
In respect of the examination, but, he
commended, in the administration of the
Post Office Department the duties had
been designated. One of these duties
was, he claimed, TO examine the ma
terial furnished for post cards. After
Maj. Zantzinger had rejected the paper,
which was later sent to the public
printer. Mr.. Wilson said. the officer was
sent 800 by the defendant. with the
intent OF affecting his Official
action.
