County feudist was in Lexington this af-
ternoon a free man. He was pardoned last
night by Governor Morrow on account of
his declining health, after serving eight
years of a life sentence for completely in
the assassination of Ed Callahan, former
Breathitt County feud leader. who was
slain from ambush in 1872 Deaton was
here on his way to his old home and never
expects to be out of Breathitt County
again. Governor Morrow had declared he
would not pardon any one until after the
Legislature had ceased to function in
March, but made an exception in the case
of Deaton, to prevent his probable death
in the State prison at Frankfort
Callahan's assassination was the result
of a plot alleged to have been laid al
Deaton's home, and In which six or eight
other members Of the Deaton faction were
concerned. Callahan, as head of the Har-
Igis-Callahan clan, the strongest feud
Organization in the mountains, was alleged
to have been responsible for the killing OF
several Deatons. After one attempt OF
his life he built stockade around his
home and store. Finally, however, Gala
han grew careless and one day as he
stepped from his store to sweep the steps
he was shot down. He died in hospita

This agitation has created in the minds of
some of the Jews the feeling that there is
an invisible rope around their necks, ana
they claim that this is the worst persecu-
tion that they can be forced to en6ure.'
The mission declared that to formulate
a solution of the Jewish problem ia
Poland calls for careful and broad study
and 1T recommends that the League of
Nations "or the larger nations interested
in this problem send to Poland a commits
sion consisting of recognized industrial
agricultural. economic and vocational ex
perts. which should remain there as lons
as necessary to examine the problem al
its source" Belief that the Jews will be
treated with justice by the Polish Republic
was expressed by the report, which de-
Llared that "a new Polish constitution is
now III the making. The general scope OF
this national instrument has already been
indicated by the special treaty with the
allied and associated Powers, in which
Poland has affirmed its fidelity to the
principles of liberty and justice and the
rights of minorities, and we may be GER
tain that Poland will be faithful to its
pledge, which is SO conspicuously in har
mony with the nations best traditions. a
new life will thus be opened to the Jews,
and II will be the task of the proposed
commission 10 aid them to profit thereby
and TO win the same appreciation gained
by their coreligionists elsewhere as a
valued asset to the commonwealths in

on April 10, 1919, after the Poles had taken
the city with a loss of thirty-three men
killed in three days street fighting In
the same period sixty-five Jews were
killed, including four women; more than
1000 Jewish houses and stores were looted

hundreds of Jews were deported, numbers

Poles Regard Jews ns "AIiens.,
The report deals at length with the
causes of the anti-Semitic feeling in Po-
land, which was declared to be to a large
extent political, rather than racial or re-
ligious. 1t was stated that Polish national
feeling is irritated by what is regarded as
the "alien' character of the great mass OF
the Jewish population. This is constantly
brought home to the Poles" the repor,
continues. by the fact that the majority
of the Jews affect distinctive dress. OBJ

The report adds that discrimination
against the Jews finds its most conspicu-
Gus manifest alton in the form of an eco

port, which was written last October

by Henry Morgenthau. which investigated
the outbreaks. The mission, which was
appointed by Secretary Lansing, on the re-

President of the Polish Council of Min

Edgar Jadwin and Homer II. Johnson. in
addition to Mr.. Morgenthau. The men ar

Laid to Anti-semitic Prejudice.
"Just as the Jews" the report says
would resent being condemned as. a race
for the action of a few of their undesir-
able co-religionists, so 1t would be cor
respondingiy unfair to condemn the Pol
sh nation as a whole for the violence
committed by uncontrolled troops or local
mobs These excesses were apparently
not premeditated, for if they had been
part of q preconceiyed plan the number
of killed would have run into the thou
sands instead Of amounting to about $50
1t is believed that these eXcesses were the
result of a widespread anti-Semitic preju-

Jewish inhabitants were politically hos

The eight cases of mob murder which
are described in detail occurred at the
towns OF Kielce. Lemberg. Pinsk, Ida,
Wilno, Koelbussowa, CZectockowa and
Minsk on different dates from November
III, 1918, to August s. 1919. The most seri'

the report says that general rioung and
disorder took place following the collapse
of the Austrian Empire and was aggra-

thousand uniformed deserters in the city

Ukrainans from the local jails. Durine
