MASSACRE REPORT IS DENIED

No Life Taken In Kiev—Report Due to Minor Disorder. Kiev, Sept. 24.—There has been no massacre of Jews in Kiev. There has been some disorder. An investigation shows that a reactionary assaulted a Jew in Slobodka, a suburb of Kiev. A number of Jews then attacked a tea house where a reactionary leader was holding a meeting. They broke the windows of the house with stones and demanded that the leader be delivered into their hands. Instead of complying, the reactionaries sallied forth and attacked the Jews and in the struggle a few persons were wounded.
