ST. PETERSBURG, May H.-tNew York
World Cablegram Special Telegram.) The
outbreak at Klahlnett ai the direct re
sult of the Inciting of the antl-semltlc
papers at Bessarabia. Tha mere plunder
ing, although It haa beggared thousands
of wealthy people, pales before the fiendish
crimes committed In those parts of tha
town that were Inhabited by the poor Jews.
The survivors are sorrowfully exploring
the wreckage of their homes and property
for the bodies of the lost relatives. Feet
are found In the midst of piles of feathers.
The walls of the houses are splashed with
blood and brains. When the miscreants
had stolen everything of value, they then,
in cold blood, set about murdering and
maiming women and children. The hos
pital mortuary presents an awful spec
tacle. The bodies of the dead had been
mutilated with Indescribable barbarity.
The ViedornosU reports:
"Where the mobs were thickest were
men and women of Russian society, per
sons In gloves and clean linen and with
Intelligent countenances. The riots were
no surprise, but were well organised."
The Noveett, a non-Jewish paper, ssys:
"While the plundering of large ware
houses was in progress women belonging
to the better class appropriated the con
tents, which they made up into parcels.
The suffering la unparalleled."
Not one single Jewish shop or dwelling
escaped. - These Jews were the richest,
moot cultured members of the community,
uumberlng $0,010 souls. They would have
been well able to defend themselves had
not their fears of Impending attack been
allayed by the assurance of the vice gov
ernor of Bessarabia, so they took no pre
cautionary measures. The shop are still
closed, these Jews having now but one
occupation, hospital and cemetery. In the
buildings where bread Is being distributed
are hundreds of Jews without shelter and
almost naked. .

At the corner of SplschoJ and QoettnnlJ

Ximkrr of Victims.
LONDON. May 14 The victims in the
Kishlneff massacre number 1.0OO, according
to the latest Information received by the
Jewish Chronicle of London. Of. these at
leaat sixty-five were killed , and more than
sou maimed or crippled for life. The dam
age to property Is estimated at 1.000,000
roubles (about 1510,000). The Jewish Chron
icle will say editorially In tomorrow's
Issue:
"We charge the Russian government with
responsibility for the KlehlnefT massacre.
If Kurcpe does not on the present occasion
dissociate Itself from the leprous taint of
this barbarian power It writes Its humanity
down a ahame and Its civilisation as or
ganised hypocrisy.
"The cardinal fact of the whole tragedy
Is that the msssacre waa organised and
abetted by Russian authorities. The killing
and pillaging was done under cover of the
troops and the police. During the two days
the massacre lasted the governor did not
leave his house. Telegraphic communica
tion with St. Petersburg waa stopped. All
the participants In the slaughter, who
were chiefly Imported hirelings, wore red
shirts. An eye-witness Is quoted as saying:
The police and the troops rormed circles.
In the renter of which the slaying and loot
ing waa going on. tha police pointing out
the houses of the Jews to the mob.' "
The newspaper Woachod of St. Peters
burg waa suppressed for printing the facta.
Jew-batting Is now spreading throughout
southern Russia, stimulated by stories of
so-called ritual murders. The judicial In
quiry Into the massacre Is not Intended to
disclose the facta, but to smother then up.

be possible. In view of the improved r
latlons between Great Britain and France
they might talk the matter over and subse
quently approach Russia. Even If Ger
many did not agree to reduction, the three
powers might effect something. It was not
necessary for Great Britain to build against
ths United States. It would be as greats
mlstska to count upon the United States
as an enemy as to count It as ah active
ally, for the United States had always been
the great defender of the rights of neu
trals. Mr.. Arnold-Forster, the admiralty secre
tary, after having pointed out that It was
the duty of the admiralty to deal with
facts as they were and not as they might
be, said that all the great powers were In
creasing their maritime preparations,
mainly Russia. According to the available
figures France and Russia together were
now building three more battleships than
Great Britain. As the actual force In ships
which could be arrayed against Great Brit
ain ought to be the guiding principle, he
denied that the admiralty's proposals were
In excess of the requirements of the coun

on that occasion express any view with re

United States-"that was a grave consider
ation which In future would have to be

NEW YORK. May 14-The conflict caused
by the refusal of the abbot of San Benito's
convent to allow the entrance of foreign
friars, who came to assist at a meeting of
the order, has resulted In a serious dispute,

leave San Benito's.
Believing that force might be needed to
assist the abbot. Father Transflguracao
went to the convent with the chief of police
and a squadron of cavalry. Father Juan
Mercedes, the excommunicated abbot,
promptly admitted the new abbot and ac
knowledged his title to succeed him.
It waa thought this had ended the trouble,
but a meeting was held at whieh th fol

me presence of the foreign friars In the
convent, a mob wsa formed and marched to
the convent, cheering, the denosMl .Ki.nt

DENVER, May 14,-No change In the
strike situation has taken place this morn
ing. Pending the reply of the cltlsena' al
liance general committee to the arbitration
proposal of 'the Joint executive committee
of organised labor, no more men will be
called out. The number of union men now
on strike Is 1,410, the majority being butcn
ers and meat cutters, cooks, waiters and
bakers. If an arbitration agreement Is not
effected before tomorrow a general strike
involving 1&.000 to M.000 union men will
probably be ordered. Of ninety-eight
affiliated unions .In the city nine
have already gone on strike, twelve
have empowered special . committees
to call them out and the remainder will
meet within twenty-four hours to discuss
the question of striking. The trouble or
iginated in the refusal of employers, who
organised the cltlsena' alliance, to sign con
tracts with the unions.
The general committee of the alliance met
at 10 o'clock today to act upon the arbitra
tion proposals submitted by the executive
committee of the unions, which Is as fol
lows: "That arbitration committees of fives be
choaen from thj employes and employers
directly concerned, these committees to
choose an eleventh member, and the finding
of such arbitration committee to be final
In all cases."
The citizens' alliance committee decided
to adhere to Its original proposition for the
creation of one general arbitration board,
to which all disputes shall be referred. The
proposal of the labor union's executive com
mittee to refer each difference to a com
mittee of employera and employes directly
Interested, for arbitration, was rejected,
and a resolution wss adopted, stating their
plan tobe unreasonable, unnecessary and
cumbersome.
Unless the labor committee recedes from
the position heretofore taken a general
strike will be ordered within 24 hours.
Owing to the committees falling to reach
an agreement the retail grocery clerks and
the dry goods salesmen to the number of
BOO were called out at noon today. Other
unions are to be called out, but whether In
relays or all at once Is not known.
Former Lieutenant Goverrror Coates,
chairman of the Joint executive committee
of organised labor, tonight submitted to the
Fire and Police board the committee's re
sponse to this morning's communication
from the Cltlsena' alliance. It charges the
alliance with Insincerity and declares that
It will receive no further recognition from
the labor committee.
Dickinson's Precedent Followed.
The first Injunction In the dispute was
Issued this afternoon by Judge; John I. Mul
llns of the district court at the Instanee of
the Joint executive rommlttee of the' labor
union's against the Cltlxehs' alliance.
It is practically the same as that Issued
by the district court In Omaha against the
business men's organisation of that city. It
reatralns the alliance:
1. From threatening or Intimidating mem
bers of the labor unions or Its own mem-
Ders.
2. Imposing fines for violation of any
agreement not to employ union labor.
S. Collecting or paying out money In pur
suance of any . plan to break up labor
unions.
4. Attempting to bribe union officers or
members.
5. Importing nonunion labor.
. Bringing Injunction suits against union
members In sn effort to break up Unions.
7. Influencing landlords to evict unions
from their meVtlng places.
The Transfer .Men's association gave
notice this afternoon that they will apply
to the United Statea court tomorrow for an
Injunction against the strikers from Inter
fering with their business.
Great Northern Settles.
. ST. PAUL. Minn.. -May 14.-A1I danger
of a strike on the Great Northern haa
passed and an amicable arrangement has
been reached.
By the schedules signed tonight each
side made concessions, although upon tha
face of the compromise, as stated by A. B.
Garretson. assistant grand conductor of
the Order of Railway .Conductors, the men
have somewhat the better of It. They are
granted an Increase of wagea which aver
ages 15 per cent; the yardmen get the
Chicago scale, which Is 3 oenta an hour
higher than the St. Paul scale; new men
are given Increased wsges after one year's
service, instead of Ave, as proposed by the
company, and upon the ' double-header
question, which was- the cause of the
deadlock, the men modified their demands
to a slight degree. East of Mlnot, accord
ing to the agreement, the road may run
one-half of 1 per cent of the gross mileage
as double-headers and on the mountain
divisions west of Mlnot 2.1 per cent Is al
lowed to be double-headed. But comput
ing the percentage of double-headers the
helper engines must be Included.
Strikers Are Rtotoas.
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.. May 14. Italian
railroad graders at Marshall Hill, who had
gone on strike because one of their number
was discharged, dynamited two houses,
both homes of men who bad refused to
stop work. The dwellings were shattered,
but none of the occupants was killed.
The sheriff, with a force of deputies, had
arrived earlier, only Just in time to pre
vent the Italians burning the construction
company's building because they were not
paid off aa soon as they quit work.
It Is reported two men were killed du'r.
Ing the rioting, but this cannot be con
firmed. Thirteen of the strikers are under
arrest.

NEW YORK. May H.-A national federa
tion of employers, It Is expected, will be
one of the consequences of the movement
begun by employers of labor in the build
ing trades to organise for protection and
aggreaslvt purposes against the labor
unions.
Telegrams and letters received from Chi
cago, Philadelphia and Boston and other
citlea state that the movement In this city
Is being watched with the keenest Interest
and that If It could be shown that unity of
action by employers could be made perfect
organisations similar to that In thla city
would be formed In every large center of
population.
More than t.OOO men. comprising all the
employes of the Hecla Iron works In Brook

President E. H. Harrlman t tha South

Union Pacific. President 8. M. Felton of
the Chicago A Alton and a delegation of
Union Pacific and Southern Paclflo boiler
makers arrived In Omaha at 11:40 last night
from the west. on a apeclal which stopped
ten minutes at the union station and pro
ceeded to Chicago. President John McNeil
of the International Brotherhood of Boiler
Makers and Iron Shipbuilders came up
from Kansas City and met the train and
conferred briefly with Mr. Burt aa to the
conference to be held either In New York
or Chicago for a final attempt at settling
the Union Paclflo strike.
No DeSnlte Statements.
Neither the boiler makers or the officials
cared to make any definite statement as to
the possible outcome. President Harrlman
waa sick and confined to his cabinet and
President Burt declined to say anything
for publication, taking the position that
conditions did not warrant any public dis
cussion. President Felton had gone west
to meet Mr. Harrlman regarding ether
mattera and was not In any way connected
with the atrlke affairs. President Ed Ken
nedy of the local and district boiler mak
ers; Martin Douglas and Tom McGovern,
also Omaha boiler makers, had gone to
Columbus to meet the officials and have a
talk with thorn on the wsy to Omaha.
George Mckeon of Oakland and H. J. Mc
cracken of Sacramento, officials of the
Southern Paclflo boiler makers who voted
to strike in sympathy with the Union Pa
cific men unless the strike here was set
tled, and then acceded tu Mr. Harrlman's
proposition to defer this action until he
could arrange a conference with the boiler
makers, came in on the apeclal and stopped
oft In Omaha. The California men and
President McNeil will proceed east this,
morning to Join Mr. Burt and Mr. Harrl-,
man in the conference. It is not certain
that President Ed Kennedy will participate
In, the conference. ......
M'Xell la Hopeful.
' "I really do not want to talk," said Pres
ident . McNeil, "but I will say that I like
the looks of things. 1 believe we are com
ing to' the end of the prolonged siege.' 1
am glad I accepted Mr. Harrlman's propo
sition for a fifteen-day delay In calling out
the Southern Paclflo men. Anything for a
settlement Is my 'policy. . We have waited
eleven months; why can we not wait fif
teen days longer? I have great faith In
Mr. , Burt and Mr. Harrlman and feel en
couraged over the outlook."
President Kennedy, when asked his opin
ion, merely said:
"We have found no new cause for com
plaint." Mr. Douglas voiced the sentiments of Mr.
Kennedy. '
Mr. Harrlman is anxious for the confer
ence to be held In New York, while the
union men are Just as anxioua for It not
to be held there. They tried to have It ar
ranged for Omaha, but finally agreed on
going to Chicago. What will Anally be done

condition may have much to do In determ

and arrest all oiTenders. A I umber of
nonunion drivers were stopped in various
parts of the city, their teams unhitched
and wugona overturned and In one cane the
driver was severely bestcn.
The most surlous disturbance occurred at
Twenty-fourth and Parker streets, where
a team of the Carpenter Paper company
was stopped and the driver, L. L. Flint,
waa pulled from the wagon and given a
severe beating. The load of rubbish on the
wagon was dumped Into the street, and
when the assailants of Flint thought they
had chastised him sufficiently they rsn
away and escaped arrest. Flint was able
to resume his work, although he bears
many bruises.
Wagons Overturned.
About 10:30 one of the wogons of the
Cady Lumber company was stopped at
Twenty-second and Leavenworth streets
and Its load of planks was scattered about
the street us lha horses wers being un
hitched. A mob of about 100 gathered,
but only about half a dosen men partici
pated In the wrecking of the lumber cargo.
A hurry call was sent for the police, but
beforo the vtllcers arrived the crowd had
dispersed.
About lha same time a wagon of
tha Sunderland company was stopped at

horses were unhitched and the driver ran

Just before noon the first ' arresta wef

tain Hase and Sergeant Gibbons, who
gathered In J. F. Brewer, Bert Wlnelnger,
Ueorgo Poland and Frank Hampton, who
hod been pointed out to them as some of
the men wh- had been raising the dis
turbances. Brewer, Wlnelnger and Poland
are striking teamsters, the first two having
been employed by T. C. Havens previous
to the strike. ' Hampton's occupation Is
not known by the police.
In the afternoon Detectives Drummy and
Davla arrested Charles Stevens of Twenty
third and Paclflo streets and Jim Holger
son of 2W3 Miami street, charged with being
suspicious characters. The occasion for
their arrest waa the Interference with a
wagon at Lake and Sherman avenue, which
was laid at the door of these teumsters.
The horses were detached from the wagon
and the nonunion driver forced to leave
hla team.
President Crews and Treasurer Wilcox of
the local teamsters and their International
first vice president, T. A. Coleman, want
to the police station In the afternoon and
tried in vain to get their men out on bail.
The chief's orders to allow none to go on
bond were strictly compiled with.
George Donnella,' living at Fifteenth and
Center streets, waa arrested yesterday
evening aa a suspicious character, and
later Identified by W. J. Coler of the Ex
pressman's Delivery company as the msn
who assaulted him at Seventeenth and
Chicago streets. Clyde Pond of 331S Em
met atreet waa also taken In charge under
suspicion of being one of the men con
cerned In dumping coal from wagons dur
ing the morning. Jamea Pape of 287G
Blnney street, who waa near the patrol
box when the arrest was mads, waa also
taken In charge for being drunk and In
terfering with the officer.
What tha Chief gays.
At 11 o'clock Chief Donahue said: "Since
o'clock this morning my telephone has
been bringing me messages f disturbances
In the residence districts. No trouble In
the down town district has been reported
and It seem that these depredations were
planned for placsa where police Interfer
ence would not be likely. 1 am satisfied
that the work Is being done by some of
the younger members of the te&msters'
union, for I am informed that they held a
meeting last night and appointed a num
ber of wrecking committees. The out
breaks occurring In different parts of the
city at the same time .'instantiate the
theory that they wero deliberately and
systematically planned. 1 don't believe
the older members of the teamsters' union
sanction this sort of work.
"I notified President Crews of what la
going on and told him I would hold him
respom-ible He said It waa all news to
him and he would get in his buggy and
make a tour of the city to Mop all union
men from participating in disorderly acts.
Violence of this kind will be stopped If
we have to swear In every man In town
as a special policeman."
