FOR JEWISH RIGHTS
Russian Minister Of Finance Receives Appeal from Officer of Workers
 League for Russian Emancipation
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

LONDON, oct. 24-During his re- cent visit in London, M. Bark, Rus sian minister of finance, gave a sym pathetic audience to ". A. Appleton, honorary president of the Workers League for Jewish Emancipation, who asked that the Jews in Russia be as corded the rights of citizens when they perform the duties of citizens
 In reply, M. Bark said an attempt to pass laws conferring additional rights on the Jews would have aroused controversey, and perhaps hostility among the Russian people. so that the Russian government had taken the matter in its own hands and conferred liberties and privileges by adminis- tratiVe action. The government in so acting proceeded on the assumption that closer contact with the Russians would break down prejudices and clear the way for greater liberties. Jews are now allowed to settle down and live among the rest of the people.

GOOD HORSES SCARCE
Much Difficulty in Obtaining Horses
 For Service in Canal Zone.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

PANAMA, Oct. 24.-Much difficulty is being experienced by the United States troops in obtaining good horses for the various branches of the ser vice in the canal zone. Very few of the animals raised in Panama are either high or heavy enough for the requirements of the army
 Recently Lieutenant Joseph A. Nor mon, aide de camp to Brigadier Gen eral Clarence R. Edwards command ing the Panama canal troops. made trip to the province of Chiriqui to obtain horses. Out of more than 200 examined, only eleven came anywhere near the army specifications. All of them were under fourteen hands high.
 General Edwards made a trip to Costa Rica, where ne purchased q few animals. but they also are not quite up to the army specifications. Army officers believe it will be necessary to obtain remounts from either Chile or Jamaica, but the latter market, be- cause of the war, is now temporarily closed

WANT MACHINES RETURNED Manufacturers Whose Plants Were Stripped Will Insist On
 Being Replaced
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

PARIS. oct. 24 - Manufacturers whose works have been stripped of machines by the Germans propose that an official commission make an inventory of the machines that have disappeared as soon as may be possible. It is pointed out by manufacturers that the payment of an indemnity for the machines will not be sufficient, since many months, in some cases years will be required to replace the machinery. Consequently the French manufac- turers will demand the return of the machines themselves.
 These machines they claim were not all taken because they were needed in Germany but in order to paralyze the industries of Northern France after the eventual declarticn of peace. The location of the ma chimes taken will be an easy matter it is believed, since inventories were made by the Germans and catalogues printed at Cologne for circulation among German manufacturers. It is declared that the stock company that undertook the distribution of the machinery in Germany vas or ganized through governmental ini- tiative.

OVER HUNDRED
 ORDERED SHOT
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

TAIWAN, Formosa, Oct. 24.-One hundred and seven Formosans were sentenced to death yesterday for revolt against the Japanese administration. The judge who pronounced the 6>,om of the reVolutionaries warned the authori- ties that the natives were dissatisfied with the government regulations under which they lived and that the revolu- tiOnary movement started by the ac- cused had far reaching effect among the islanders.
 Two of the ringleaders were council lors of the Taiwan prerectureal office. In their statement in reply to the query of the public procurator they said that since the occupation of Formosa by Ja- pan the islanders had constantly suf- fered from misadministration; that they had been deprived of their in- dustries and trade and were grooming under heavy taxation. They declared that in the long run the islanders would be reduced to Wretched and deplorable conditions Their aim was to drive out the Japanese from the island.
 According to the prosecutor the Nvo- lutionaries made efforts to raise -lr funds by inducing the ignorant islam htIS lD JcII anu support llen SCHe1ne. To carry out this purpose they fabri- cated and circulated wild rumors to appeal to the supeIstitious minds of the islanders. They declared among other things that a Buddhist prophet had foreseen Japan's occupation would eX- pire next year and that in case the Japanese did not leave the population would be annihilated by divine power. Those who contributed were given a tablet which, when carried on the body in care of warfare was to be effective in protecting from the danger of death Furthermore during the Tsing- tau at tack and the Japan China negotiations. they circulated a rumor that many German aerOplanes and a big force of Chinese revoluttionists would come over to the island to recover the soil from Japan.
 Today's sentences were in addition to those imposed earlier in the month when eight ringleaders were ordered shot.

SAYS CLOTHES ARE NEEDED AT
 CLIFTON CAMPS

Deputy Sheriff James Pollard Of Clifton was in the city last night on l his way to the north for a criminal
 who is wanted in Greenlee county While talking with a reporter for The Republican, he stated that everything was quiet in the Clifton district when 1 he left Sunday morning. Deputy Pol lard thinks that it will be many months before the strike is settled and reported that the miners are pre- pairing themselves for a long siege i They are said to be in no immediate eed of food as the neighboring unions and labor organizations are donating enough supplies to last for a time. at least.
 However, Pollard states that there is one feature of the situation that should receive the attention of all charitably- inclined people of the state. and tha. is the condition into which the pover- ty-stricken Mexican widows and chil- dren are fast coming. There are in
 the Clifton district perhaps two hun
 dred families whose members consist
 of q widow and several children, in
 most instances relatives of miners who
 have been killed in the mines, and who
 have been making a precarious living by doing washing and such other bits of labor as the camp afforded when the mines were in operation, and which
 work is now. of course, denied them.
 In a month or so cold weather will
 set in. There is going to be a cry
 ing need for clothing for these unfor-
 tunate women and children-not, per
 haps, the fancy and high priced gar
 ments which the more favored of the
 boys and girls are accustomed to wear
 but clothing of any description-cloth
 ing that will protect little bodies from icy blasts which all winter long sweep about the ragged hills around Clifton and it's neighboring settlements.
 A Mexican is. in most cases, not fastidious in the matter of what he wears, and Deputy Sheriff Jim states that these Mexican women will be most appreciative of any and all cast off garments which might be sent them for the use of themselves and their ragged brood. Pollard said he felt certain some organization would probably find itself in a position to undertake the work of seeing that the women and children are sufficiently clad.
