BRITISH LODORERS in
RIOTS AGAINST JEWS
Violent Outbreak in One County
Due to Alleged Extortion
in Rents.

London, Aug. 24.-Outbreaks of vio-
lent character against Jews have now
occurred for three days in succession
in Monmouthshire, and are giving the
authorities the greatest concern. az
they are altogether a new phase In
British life.
The Jewish community here has
made strong representations to the
home office and Home Secretary
Churchill gave them the assurance THAI
no precautions would be overlooked to
prevent a recurrence of the disorders,
The riots and looting of Jewish shops
were OF a desperate character and the
riot act had to be read and the milk
tary called out before the mobs were
cowed. Additional soldiers were sent
to Ebbe Vale from Cardiff yesterday
but similar scenes to those enacted thu
night before when Jewish shops were
wrecked, occurred again in Ebbe Vale
Treadgar, Rhymy and Bryn Mawr,
The presence OF the troops prevented
looting on such a large scale as Mon.
day night, but the police and military
had to be constantly chasing the riot
ers with batons and swords. In these
charges many persons were Injured and
large numbers were arrested. The riot,
ers attacked women and drove them,
shrieking in terror, from their houses
Inc only motive Tor the outbreaks
is alleged to be that the Jews have
been guilty Of charging high rents to
workmen and raising the prices OF pro-
visions since the recent strike began.
-
Newport, Monmouthshire, Eng, Aug.
24-The anti-Jewish rioting at Trede-
gar and adjacent towns, was almost
entirely the work OF hoodlums who
have obtained a strong foothold in
those places because the forces Of
police stationed there are small.
The Jews who suffered attacks were
among the most respected t~ownspeople
and they indignantly deny the charge
of demanding high rents, and so far as
al be ascertained, the complaints
against them Of exacting exorbitant
prices are unfounded.

S~churman, president OF Cornell unIveru

tie club is tnEt partisan subjects viii

says he had not been warned about
partisan questions being tabooed.
His address was a brilliant appeal
for the two English speaking people OF
this hemisphere to get together, and
he urged that reciprocity was the first
step. ~
A thousand prominent citizens we're
present, Those who favored ~reciproci-
ty cheered the speaker. Scarcely had
the meeting adjourned before the Jour-
nails, opposing reciprocity, were on the
street telling of the violation of tho
clubs tradition, giving the speech and
attacking the club officers and criti-
cizing the speaker.
The officers OF the club refuse to ac-
cept the responsibility for the par
tisan address, asserting their guest had
the right to speak as he pleased. DIR.
Schurman's appeal for reciprocity was
the most convincing appeal thus far
delivered in Canada.

LINCOLN TO HAVE
AN ORATICAL duel.
Wilson to Speak for Taft and
Norris for La Toilette at the
Nebraska State Fair.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The battle be-
tween Taft and La Toilette for the
presidential nomination will be opened
in the middle west September 5 and
6. at the Nebraska state fair at Lin
coin. Definite information as to this
becoming public today attracted atten-
ton among politicians here.
Secretary Wilson today decided to
speak there September 5. He will
speak for President Taft and at the
same time for Senator Norris Brown
for another term. In order to offset
this, Representative Norris. September
6, will speak from the same platform
for La Toilette and will open his own
campaign for the Senate against
Brown, The speeches are expected to
be significant and important.
The plans for the appearance Of
Secretary Wilson at Lincoln have been
under consideration for some time. and
until today it was not known definitely
If he would go. Judge Norris at first
tried TO get La Toilette himself to
reply 10 Wilson, but La Toilette could
not go.
The fact that Wilson is going to
make an administration speech at Lin
coin, under all the circumstances, con-
siaering the Importance of what will
occur there, has encouraged the friends
of the secretary to believe that the
president is not going to GUST him.
