FRENCH OFFERS
oQIR!ININAL PLAN
IN THEE MATTER OF SELECTING
DELEGATES TO NATIONAL
CONVENTION.
His Idea of Reform Quickly Taken Up
by Congressional Committee
Would Avoid Party Split.

! WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Representa-
tive French, as a member of the re-
publican congressional committee, is
one of the republicans of the house
who is pressing the matter of a reform
in the selection of delegates to the
national conventions
Mr. French takes the position that
representation at national conventions
should be in a general way upon the
basis of votes cast instead of upon the
present basis by which the southern
states which cast few republican votes.
have an enormous advantage over the
northern states in the choosing of
president.
Mr. French also believes that the
manner of selection of delegates to
national conventions adopted by the
several states should be recognized as
binding whether the delegates shall
be elected by primaries or otherwise
The advisory committee of the con-
gressional committee to which the re-
solution embodyiHg these ideas was
referred, this week reported unani-
in favor of the proposition and
it is probable that within the next
few weeks the republican congress
ional committee will adopt the resolu-
ton. Should this occur, one of the
great sources of dissatisfaction that
caused the split in the republican party
a year ago, will be removed.

CIVILIZED WORLD
HAS BEEN AROUSED
Famous "Ritual Murder Case Opens Today-Keff
Poor Brick Yard Laborer Accused of Commit
ting Religious Crime.

KIEFF, Oct S.-After lying in Jail fol
two years and half, Mendel Bells
was placed on trial today in the Grim
inal section of the kieff district court
for ritual murder" On account OF
the extraordinary interest the case has
attracted throughout Europe, the court
room was packed by cosmopoli an
throng when Judge Boldyreff and his
associates mounted the bench and be-
gan the impanelling of a jury. The
regular venire for the court term
from which the jury was chosen ron
sisted of four men with university
education, fourteen with an intermed-
late or elementary education, fifteen
who have not attended any school, but
who have received some domestic edu-
cation, and three who are quite Hitter
ate More than 200 newspapermen,
from various countries, had previous
ly applied for seats, but so great was
the demand made by the friends of
both local and st. Petersburg officials
that many of the correspondents had
to stand in the back of the room, and
some, although holding tickets, failed
altogether of admission. Conspicuous
among the reporters was a personal
representative of NJ Stcheglovitoff,
minister of justice, who had been in
structed to wire running detail ac
count of the proceedings to his chief
in St. Petersburg. From the incep-
ton of the case the ministry of justice
had carefully directed the activities OF
the local prosecutors, Brandorf and
Chaplinsky, and it was with the full
approval of the central government
that the charge of ritual murder" was
made in the original Indictment.
On Wrong Theory.
Ever since the morning of April l,
1911, when the mutilated body OF An
drei Yuschinsky, a 12-year-old Chris |
tian boy, was found in an abandoned
brick yard just outside kieff the pro-
secution has been endeavoring to es-
tablsh the theory that he was slain |
rite prescribed by the Tulmud, SO that
his blood might be used in making
passover bread. For centuries the ig-
norant and superstitious Jew-baiters
II. - l,o1i <xf hot
this rite" is regularly practiced by
the Jewish race, and the government
has apparently done all it could to
foster this idea. M. Krassovsky, chief
of the Kieff detective department, was
actually instructed to proceed on the
theory that the crime was the work
of Jews, although the only possible
pretext for the ritual" charge was
that the boys body bore AZ stab
woulds. According to current super
stition the ritual murder" is accom-
plished by As wounds He could OBJ
tain absolutely no evidence along the
required lines but ON the contrary be-
iieved he had traced the murder to a
gang of thieves to which neighbors OF
the boys family belonged and who
were known to be fearful that Yus- .
chinsky would betray them to the au
thcrities. He secured evidence that
one of the thieves was seen with a
chisel shortly before the murder and :
that this same implement, covered
with blood, was found by two boys
near the brick-kiln afterwards. The .
boys, upon orders of the thief, threw ,
it into a sewer. !,

Manufacturing Evidence.

Later, Ivan Kosatchenke, a convict
informer, who was placed in the same
cell with Bells for two months, de-
clared that Bells arranged with him
to poison all the witnesses against
him, and promised that if he did so the
Jews would keep him in comfort for
life
Throughout the various preliminary
processes of the case the defense has
been seriously handicapped by the
manifest prejudices of the court Of
ficials against the prisoner All posi-
BILE obstacles were thrown in the way
of defense counsel. His first attorney,
Grigorovitch, was severely reprimand-
ed and temporarily suspended from
the case for having signed petition
protesting against the blood accusa-
ton" His next lawyer, Margoulin,
was forced out by reason of a palpably
false charge made by Vera Cheberiak
of the boy, Eugene, that he had
to bride her. Bells was to-
day represented in court by an array
of counsel employed by wealthy Jews.
chief of whom were two of the lead
ing barristers of the capital, Karav-
chevsky and Gresenberg.

seen them praying. Unfortunately
Eugene, who had been sickly, died be-
fore his evidence could be taken by
the examining magistrate, or the mys-
terry might have been cleared up Che
beriak's home was the notorious rem
devious of a band of thieves, and it
was they whom Krassavsky and other
detectives believed to have been the
real murderers.

When Krassovsky made his report
to his superiors he was sternly re-
primanded. Later he was practically
forced by them to arrest Mendel Bel
lis, Jew, 40 years of age, foreman of
the brickyard, in whose room one of
the thieves gang said he had found
some of the boys clothing. On pro-
ducing further evidence indicating the
guilt of the thieves, and the innocence
of Bells, Krassovsky was dismissed
from office When a fresh investiga-
ton was made under the direction of
his successor, NJ Mistchouk, he and
his assistants quickly came to the
conclusion that the ritual murder
theory was Enthusiastically untrue and
so reported to the authorities. The. re-
suit was not only dismissal of Mist
chouk and two of his men but their
arrest on charges of ''fabricating do
cuments favorable to the Jews" They
were acquitted, but the Crown appeal
