VOLUME 4. NUMBER 562 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1906. - TEN CENTS PER WEEK TWO HUNDRED KILLED ENORMOUS NUMBER WOUNDED IN ANTIJEWISH RIOTS AT BIALYSTOK, RUSSIA. JCTIMS OF MOB BRUTALLY TREATED LODIES OF MANY OF THE DEAD REDUCED TO MERE MASSES OF PULPED FLESH. Bialystok, Russia, June 19.—Quiet reigns throughout this town. Firing was heard at midnight on the outskirts of Bialystok, near the cemetery, but no further disor- ders have occurred. The total figures of the casualties are not available, but seventy bodies were buried during the day. This is claimed to be less than half the total of the killed. Jew- ish estimates say that not less than 200 were killed. The number of wounded is enormous. Surgeons have arrived here from Warsaw to assist the overworked stafis of the hospitals in caring for the injured. A few instances of the excesses were the bestiality and brutality with which the victims of the massacre were treated. Some of the corpses were mere masses of pulped flesh, the wounded in some cases having scarce- ly a sound bone in their bodies. The members of the commission of the lower house of parliament who are here to inquire into the massacre are greeted as saviors by the popula- tion, who flock out of their houses with pathetic joy and relief. As the commissioners pass through the streets the people call down blessings on their heads and give them accounts. of their sufferings. devastated 10W.. ¢ ¥ REORSHIP FIGHT BOTH CUMMINS AND PERKINS AS- SERT CONTROL OF STATE CONVENTION.

INVESTIGATE WALSH BANK. Benator Tillman Again Calls Up Rgso- lution of Inquiry, ‘Washington, June 19.—Senator Till- man again called up his resolution providing for an investigation of the question of national bank contribu- tions to political campaigns and also to the recent failure of the Chicago National bank. Speaking of the resolution Mr. Till- man said that Senator Aldrich had waived aside the resolution on the ground that the senate had recently passed a bill prohibiting the banks from making eampaign contributions, but Mr. Tillman contended that such action on the part of the senate was not sufficient. Believing that the banks were the principal source of revenue of the Republican political committees he did not believe that the house would pass the bill prior te Hence 12 still felt the necessity for the investi- gation provided for by his resolution. { He insisted that the resolution shoald be retroactive, but confessed that he had little hope in that direction. “The bankers will get an immunity bath for past offenses,” he predicted. Speaking of the Chicago bank fail- ure Mr. Ti!l‘man presented extracts from testimony of Bankar Fenton of Chicago, taken by the house commit- tee on banking, to the effect that the disaster was due to loans made by the bank to concerns in which the president of the bank (John R. Walsh) was interested. He claimed that this testimony showed that the compt ler of the currency had known for months before the failure that the bank had in effect loaned $16,000,000 to its president. Senator Hopkins replied that Mr. Tillman had been misled by irrespon- sible Chicago men and declared that the South Carolina senator's “tirade” had proved another illustration of the fact that “a little learning is a dan- gerous thing.” HAVE TROUBLES ENOUGH. Conferees on Rate Bill Turn Down Further Arguments, Washington, June 19.—That the con- ference committee of the two houses of congress on the railrcad rate bill has all that it wants to do was an- nounced in the senate by Senator Till man. The statement was elicited by a remark by Senator Foraker in speak- ing of a number of telegraphic pro- tests he had received against the re- tention of the senate amendment mal ing common carriers of pipe lines. He asked that the telegrams be referred ' to the conferees, remarking that he had made an effort to personally pre sent them to the conferees but that he had been denied admission to their “august presence.” : Mr. Tillman construed this as “a sarcastic allusion” and made the ex- planation that the conferees, finding their present troubles sufficient, had been compelled to shut the doors against arguments from those who are not members of the committee. “We listened. for four days in the senate,” he said, “and don't feel dis- posed to add to our misery. We will accept the telegrams, but don’t want the arguments.” IN HOUSE - OF COMMONS. Chicago Beef Again the Subject of Inquiries. Londen, June 19.—Chicago meat again formed the subject of several questions in the house of commons during -the day. Mr. Hicks-Beach, Conservative, son of the former chan- cellor of the exchequer, asked War Secretary Haldane what quantity of Chicagg canned meat was supplied to the troops in South Africa during the late war and what proportion of en: teric deaths ought more properly to _have been- described as due to pto- maine poisoning. The secretary re- plied that more than half the canned meat supplied to the British troops in South Africa during the late war came from the United States. He could not say how much of this came from Chicago. nothing of any cases of enteric fever ‘which could be classed as ptomaine poisoning. s Replying to a question based on the discovery in the diningroom of the house of commons of a box marked “Armour’s (St. Louis, Chicago and Kansas City) Chickens” Mr. Jacoby. chairman of the kitchen commitiee, assured the house that no food of any kind used in the house of commonsz comes from Chicggo.

Veterans of Republican Party Attend Philadelphia Meeting. Philadelphia, June 19.—In the his- torical ‘Music. Fund hall the formal celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Republican party was begun during the day. Delegations from all sections of the country are here to; participate in' the golden jubilee, a feature of which .is the presence of nearly 200 aged men, veterans of the Republican party’s first battle fifty vears ago when John C. Fremont was nominated for the presidency. The celebration is under the aus- pices of the National League of Re- publican Clubs, which is holding its annual convention in connection with the jubilee celebration. Mayor Weaver, in his address of welcome, sald among other things: “This anniversary is useful only if rightfully used. 1t is the time fo look back over the history of the party, to correct any errors that might have crept in and to renew its high ideals. Political parties are something like victorious armies. They gather camp followers who have no principles for which they would fight, if they have any at all. The camp followers with the successful army are there because they have an opportunity to share in the plunder.” Gliven Term of 999 Years. Fort Worth, Tex, June 19.—Nine hundred and ninety-nine years in the penitentiary is the penalty imposed upon Snow Williams, a mnegro, for catching a young white woman by the foot.

For several days the identily of the kid- napper has been known to the police, but despite the efforts of 400 men who have been working on the case he was not located until now. Accom- panied by one of his men Chief of De- tectives Donaghy went to 626 North Sixty-second street, in West Philadel- phia, and there found John Joseph Kean, with his captive. Kean attempt- ed to escape and was shot at by the detectives. The bullets missed their aim, but Kean surrendered and was taken to police headquarters. The kidnapper, who is forty-two years of age, is described as a former stock broker, who had recently been a real estate agent. He has a wife and three children and it is believed that his desperate financial situation drove him to his crime. In communications to the father of the child he demand- ed §5,000 for its return and in a letter written on Friday declared he would kill the child and himself if the money was not forthcoming. Kean’s terms j were acceded to in a “personal” in- serted in all of Saturday’s papers. In a subsequent letter Kean proposed new terms and these were likewise accepted and another “personal” was inserted in Sunday’s newspapers. The boy, who is only seven years old, was apparently unharmed except that he bore evidence of suffering from hunger and exposure. ‘When the kidnapper and his victim were brought before Superintendent of Police Taylor the little one still had in _his ‘hand" the school books he” had when he was enticéd from school by a decoy note purporting to be from his.mother. The house in which they were found is an unoccupied dwelling on the out- skirts of the city. AFTER A FIERCE FIGHT. Policeman Saves Prisoner From a Crowd of Hebrews.
