THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
10000 JEWS MASSACRED.
Continued from Page y


An especially terrible affair was the
holding up of steamer on the
Dnieper, in the vicinity of Menschi-
korie, near Kieff, when 103 Jews
were seized on board and drowned.
Over 90 corpses were recovered.
"The worst period has been rag
ing since April of this year. The
troops of Grigorief, upon capturing
Tscherkassi, put to death 800 per-
sons there. Equally terrible were
the excuses at Elisebethgrad, where
about 1000 were killed. At Tros-
tienietz there was Bolshevist gar
rison, and when the peasants rose
against the Bolshevist authority the
Christian section of the garrison
went over to their side and dis
armed their Jewish comrades
Thereupon all the Jewish inhabi-
tants of the little town, down to
those who were twelve years of age,
were locked into a communal build
ing and kept in prison there for two
days, and after prolonged delibera-
tons were murdered. More than
400 persons were then slain.
"The Jewish National Secretariat
has drawn up an exact record of all
the pogroms. From the end of No
vember, 1918, down to May 18th,
1919, pogroms and bloody excuses
are recorded to have taken place in
l27 places. With regard to another
40 or so places it cannot be stated
definitely what dimensions the ex-
cesses assumed, as the Secretariat is
unable to get into communication
with them. The total number of
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1919-10-17

Jews who are said to have been
killed in these pogroms is from go
600 to $4,000. A long list of names
of those murdered is in the hands OF
the National Secretariat.
"The figure given is quite reliable,
and probably even falls short OF the
actual truth.
"The Jews tried to organize a
self-defense, but this was not per-
mitted by the Bolsheviks, who urged
the Jews to join the Red Army if
they wished to defend Jewish lives.
The pogroms were everywhere
marked by the same horrible fea-
lures; bestial murder lust and an
incredible passion for destruction.
"The Zionist Organization is de-
scribed and treated by the Bolshe-
viks as counter-revolutionary, but
it has hitherto been impossible to
suppress it. The Zionist Central
Office at Kieff is still in existence.
The general Ukrainian Zionist Con-
ference, convened for June, had to
be postponed on account of the po-
groms and the difficulties of travel.
The eagerness to emigrate is exceed
ingly great, and it is only with the
utmost difficulty that those anxious.
to leave the country can be withheld
from precipitate exodus. The
Jewish National Secretariat, elected
by the National Assembly, continues
it's activity, although under prohibit
ton, and it had endeavored to pre-
serve the communal institutions.

Indiana looking for the herd boar,
but that he had not bought. He
stated, however, that he had found a
good Individual in Indiana to be put
in a sale the following week, and that
he had instructed Mr.. Stratford to
put in bid for the association on the
pig. Nine members of the associa-
ton decided that they wanted to go
in on the boar. 1t was agreed that a
joint note would be made to be signed
by these nine men, and that Mr..
Hutton would keep the boar The
owners of the boar were to pay Mr..
Hutton $3.50 year to keep the pig
and look after the breeding of the
sows brought to him, with extra
charge where sows were left until
second breeding, or safe with pigs.
1t was voted that a service fee of so
cents for association members and 81
for outside breeders should be charg-
ed.
At the third meeting, October &c,
Mr.. Hutton reported that Mr.. Stat
ford had purchased the boar referred
to above in Mr.. Shelton's sale at
$1,750, and that it had been shipped.
This was a splendid meeting and
every member seemed enthusiastic.
The membership had gone up to about
10. The pig failed to show up when
expected and after several days of
waiting Mr.. Hutton found that the
pig had died on the road. It never
reached Maryville. While the blow
was rather hard one for the young
association they proved their game
and earnest spirit by instructing Mr..
Hutton to get them a boar under the
same plan as forth above. The as
ISOLATION is expecting the express
company to pay for the pig which
died in transit.
AS an evidence of the determine
ton of the Poland China men | will
give you some of the purchases which
they have made this year. Mr.. j. S.
Hutton has bought IA sows and gifts
for S4,765; he and John Mitchell of
Maryville, bought three other sows in
Indiana for $3.50, and D. H. Brewer
bought one sow for $500. Among
this lot Is included the grand cham
pion sow at the Indiana state fair,
which Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Hutton
secured.

II breeders present, and others sent
word that they could not attend but
wanted to enter he organization if it
were formed. At that meeting it
was voted to organize a Blount
County Poland China Breeders as
ISOLATION, with a membership fee of
$3.50 per annum. Mr.. j. S. Hutton
was elected president of the associa-
ton. Mr.. Harris Griffitts, vice.
president, and Mr.. John Mitchell,
secretary. The first point of bust
ness to be discussed by the new as
sociation was the purchase Of herd
boar to be used by the breeders of
the association. Mr.. j. S. Hutton
was instructed to buy a young boar,
an outstanding pig, and while no
limit was placed on what he should
pay, it was understood that he could
pay up to $4,000, if necessary in
order to get the boar needed. A
meeting was set for two weeks later
to report on aconstitution and by
laws, and see just who of the associa-
ton wanted to share in the purchase
of the boar.
At this second meeting a constitu-
ton and bylaws were adopted and

For several years Mr.. ]. S. Hutton
has been breeding Poland-China hogs.
He has a deep love for the breed and,
as long as he has money, and good
hogs are put up for sale he bids and
buys. For several years, single hand
ed and alone, he has put on sales and
never kicked or complained whether
his hogs brought high or low prices.
Men scoffed at him and called him
crazy for paying $500 to 5000 for
"just hogs" as they thought, and
predicted that he would never pay
out on them. IN his sales for a long
time, and to large extent even yet,
local men would not pay much more
than pork prices for what he had to
offer. Gradually, however, he has
popularized the breed in Blount
county, and by holding annual sales,
and letting his purebreds sell at the
bidders price, whether high or low, he
gradually pushed out the scrub and
today purebred Poland Chinas can be
found in almost every part of this
county, and nearly everything traces
back to Mr.. Hutton's stock.

have begun to build up purebred Po-

work, nor to exploit the good work
done in this county by Mr.. j. S. Hut

Mr.. Hutton and Mr.. Painter put on a
sale together. This sale was not the
success that the people of the county
had expected. The drouth had dried
up all pastures and it seemed that
very little grain would be made, con-
sequently local prospects" were not
in a position to buy, and the bulk of
the sales were made to breeders from
other sections. Instead of discourage
ing these men this sale seemed to put
new life and determination into the
breeders of Blount county. They be-
gan to realize that county organiza-
ton of the breed was needed to
cement their interests and to help
advertise and boost their products.
Many men of the county had pur-
chased registered hogs and had failed
to keep up with the registration of
their pigs. These men began to ex-
press a desire to get into an organiza-
ton to help them keep line on their
stock and to find an outlet for their
purebred pigs.
