Outbreak Against Jews in Russia Is General and Fa- , vored by Government. HEWS IN STATE OF PANIC

IN MANY OF THE LARGER CITIES THEY. HAVE BARRICADED THEMSELVES IN HOUSES PRE-1 )ARED TO FIGHT. IPubMshers Press St Petersburg, June 18. Additional evidence is coming to light which Indicates that the outbreaks against the Jews in various parts of Russia are but the carrying out of a widespread plot concocted by notorious Jew baiters and encouraged by government officials. Conditions in Bielostok are slightly improved, but outbreaks are reported from Klodowa, Kelinovka and other points. It is stated that the Black Hundreds have been promised official consideration If they will confine their outrages tothe Jewish race and these instructions are being obeyed to the letter. The Jews of St. Petersburg are in a state of panic and have barricaded themselves in their houses, prepared to resist attacks. Similar conditions are reported from Sebastopol, Odessa, Moscow, Kleff and Warsaw. Horrible Tales Are Told. Refugees who are arriving from Bielostok, tell horrible tales of tne work of the rioters, but it now appears that the troops have gained the upper hand. The authorities, apparently stung to action by the criticism in the douma, are dealing sternly with the rioters, and troops have dislodged the bands who held positions near the government buildings and railroad station at Bielostok. Many large factory buildings there have been burned. The condition of the homeless Jews is critical. They are destitute, have neither food nor clothing, and only the fact that they are being constantly guarded by soldiers and pollce.prevented their utter extermination. Houses Were Plundered. At Klodowa, a number of Jewish houses were plundered and the occupants beaten. The rioters then held up the mail van, killed the driver and his two escorts, plundered the van and escaped. - j, At KaunovoKa a jewisn ramiiy or slcrht were butchered and robbed of 7,500.

Helslngfors, June 18. -The following appeal, sign ed by five Jewish members of the douma, has been sent to the principal capitals of the world.

WILLING TO HAVE WIRES IH ALLEY Board of Works Signs Agreement Giving. Central Union Underground Right. THE ACTION IS NOT FINAL AGREEMENT MUST BE SIGNED BY THE COMPANY AND THEN PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL PLAN NOW SUGGESTED. Notwithstanding the statements made by the members of the board of public works and City Attorney Gardner about six weeks ago that the agreement submitted the board by the Central Union Telephone Company for the placing of their wires underground would never be agreed to by the city until a clause had been Inserted in the agreement guaranteeing a maximum rate for telephone charges, an agreement for the building of conduits in the first alley north of Main street, minus the maximum rate clause, was signed Saturday by the members of the board and the officials of the company at Indianapolis will attach their signatures to the document today. This evening the agreement will be presented to council for ratification and it is expected the Central Union Company will have a strong lobby on hand for the purpose of 'obtaining favorable action. Compromise Suggested. The first of this year when the Central Union Telephone Company renewed its agitation for placing its Main street wires in conduits it was seen that council looked askance at the' matter and so about i six weeks or two months agO a compromise measure in the nature of an agreement to place all Main street "wires in conduits was drawn up by the Central Union people and presented to the board of public works for their approval. When the agreement was considered Mr. Gardner objected to it because there was no clause incorporated In the agreement which guaranteed a maximum rate of charges for telephones in private residences and In business houses and general offices. Sunt. Kline Was Determined. Superintendent of Construction Robert Kline informed Mr. Gardnerand the board that his company never accepted agreements which contained such clauses and that the rule could not be broken m this case as it would establish a precedent that would be detrimental to the company's best Interests. Mr. Gardner then stated that all negotiations between the city and the Central Union Company could be considered suspended until the company saw fit to accept the agreement which contained the maximum clause. In an interview after this meeting Mr. Kline stated that the city would be given a limited time to accept the agreement without the fate clause and in the event that the city did not ''come to time" the re-construction of the Central Union lines in Richmond would bt made overhead " "

Walter Bulla, the guardian of Miss Drayer, from whose home she eloped, was informed last evening that Chief Bailey thought his ward and Bosworth were in Stuttgart He was asked if he Inteded to go there and bring her home. He stated that he did not think he would if the young woman was that distance from home, but that the matter was entirely in the hands of the girl's mother, Mrs. Lillian Drayer. Should Mr. Bulla intercept Miss Drayer at Stuttgart he would have no difficulty in bringing her back to his home as she is only sixteen years old. In case she has been married to Bosworth the marriage could be declared invalid. FELL ON THEATER STEPS Mrs. Bessie Forbes Fainted While De scending Stairway at Phillips Opera House.

STREET CAR "JACK"

PAID tin VISIT A Canine with Mania for Rid ing Electric Cars, Was Here Last Week. LEFT HERE GOING WEST INTELLIGENT ANIMAL MADE HEADQUARTERS AT STREET CAR BARNS AND RODE CARS CONSTANTLY WHILE HERE. A tramp dog, with a winning way. and a mania for riding on electric cars, came to Richmond one day last week and spent forty-eight hours Inspecting the Quaker City and the outlook for a permanent location. After making a careful tour, he climbed aboard an interurban car on the In dianapolis & Eastern- Railway, and taking a seat in the motorman's vesti bule, rode west, from whence he came. The dog, which was a small brindle, just "happened" in on Thursday night. He jumped off an interurban car from the west, at the car barns, shortly aft er dark, and went in the barns to see what was going on. Some of the con ductors and motormen were there and they petted and fed him. He immediately made friends and spent the night curled up on a car seat In the morning, he came over to Eighth and Main and jumped off to see how he' liked the business center. Nothing doing! so he rode with the south endcar down and back and then went back to the barns, on the West Richmond Car. Whether or not he knew where he was going, is not known, but the motormen insist that he made quick and accurate changes. After spending a half hour at the barns, he came over to Eighth and luain again andtook a West Richmond cajv which he stayed with all day. He took an especial liking to Elmer Rhodes, the motorman, and did not leave the car, except to stretch his legs once in a while, until night. That night he spent loafing around the city, and early next morning, com menced to ride again. He rode all day, but in the evening, jumped off at the barns, and later took the local car west. This dog is the rival of "Pan Handle Jack," of the Pennsylvania road, who likes to ride on the steam road, but electricity seems tqappeal more strongly to this member of the canine family than does any -other mode of travel, and he is making a cheap tour of the country. The dog did not commit himself in the matter of who bought the Dayton & Western, but the fact that he refused to ride on the yellow cars, gives the impres sion that it was not the same syndi cate that owns the I. & E. Dr. Hurty Friday Night. On Friday night of this week. Dr. J. N. Hurty, State Health Officer, will lecture at the High School Hall, on "Tuberculosis." The primary object of Dr. Hurty's visit to Richmond is to assist in the organization of a local association for the prevention, and cure of Tuberculosis, the great "white plague," which causes one La -four deaths in Wayne county.
