IN CONGRESS
REPRESENTATIVE WILLIS OF
OHIO MAKES DEBUT IN
STATEHOOD DEBATE.

Washington. May ia new orator
appeared in the ranks of the republic
can minority in congress today. The
opening speech on the Arizona New
Mexico statehood resolution, a distnc-
tion accorded to Representative Frank
B Willis a freshman from Ohio,
turned out to be n two hours running
fire of repartee and fight with the
democratic leaders
In supporting the New Mexico con-
stitutlon. as President Taft has ap-
proved 1t, Mr.. Willis drew the fire of
Chairman Flood and half dozen
prominent democrats. He was armed
with mass OF constitutions and or
ganic acts OF the various states, and
whenever new proposition was ad :
vocated he would say:
i've got II right here while the
republican side cheered and laughed.
Mr., Hamilton OF Michigan, former
chairman Of the territories committee,
also urged the immediate approval OF
the New Mexico constitution. The
republican speakers condemned the
recall Of judges In the Arizona consti :
tuition and approved the plan to force
Arizona to vote again on that feature,
hut they declared no change should be
made In the New Mexico constitution.
The statehood resolution will be be-
fore the house until Tuesday.

GREAT MASSACRES
ARE THREATENED
IN RUSSIA
JEWS CLAIM GOVERNMENT Is
SENDING OUT CROOKED, IN
sPlREo EDITORIALS.

New York, May 1s.-The American
Jewish committee, when asked today
by the Associated Press for its views
respecting the recent dispatches from
Kiev. authorized the following state
ment;
THE committee Is satisfied that
only wide publicity can avert re-
eurrence OF the horrible massacres
instigated by the Russian government.
which took place between 1903 and
1906. especially at Kishineff. Odessa
and Bialystok, when thousands OF
Jews were foully massacred and mil
lions of property destroyed.
The monstrous and Infamous
stories recently sent out by the Rus
sian government from st. Petersburg.
American newspapers. respecting the
alleged murder of "A boy at Kiev, are
precisely similar to the unfounded
tales circulated by the Russian gov
ernment previous to the Kishineff.
Odessa and Bialystok pogroms.
investigation shows that the stories
which have been sent out to American
newspapers are founded upon baseless
ealumnies which appeared several
weeks ago In the well known anti
Semetic and reactionary organs, Russ
koye Znamya. Kolokol, Semschtina,
and especially In the foremost organ
of the reactionaries. the Novoe
Vremya. which, as j. well known, is

lie was formerly liberal and follow
err of Tolstoi. but within the last 10
years he has sold himself to the editor
Of the Novoe vremya and since then
has attacked every progressive move
ment In Russia and vilely siandered
the Jews at every opportunity. A
brother OF Premier Stolypin. A. Stoly-
pin. is one of the principal editors Of
Novoe yremya.
Intense Excitement.
The political situation in Russia
at the present time. due to the recent
reactionary victory of the czar and
his prime minister. Stoiypin, is one
OF intense excitement. The Russian
government has always resorted to
massacres of Jews whenever the po-
litieai situation was one of great
tenseness and has repeatedly utilized
this method to provide an outlet for
the pent-up feelings of her excited
populace. The government, by the
use OF soldiery. the police and the
administrative officials, has always
inshigated and directed the massa.
cres at such times.
There Ii a similar condition at the
present moment and unless the widest
publicity is given to the yillantes
which the Russian government never
hesitates TO perpetrate In order 10
serve her own purposes. the world is
likely 10 see IA repetition at any time
OF the indescribably horrible scenes
which are for the present held In
Allowance by the Russian govern
ment
The Russian government always
mas controlled the situation absolutely.
As Prince urussoff, formerly governor
