THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, SUNDAY (AUGUST 9, N1-SIXTEEN PAGES. GERBER SENT T0 IRKOTSK. | Russia £fords Him Little Time to Prepare for the Jouraey, FATE OF THE UNFORTUNATE ESTABLISHED, | Year That His Son Also May Have In- curred the Anger of the ussian Tyrant—¥odes of Relief. The annonncement in Tite Brr of the ar- | rest and probable transportation to Siboria of 8. Gerber of this city has, it is to be re gretted, boen verified by the latest accounts from the Russian Poland. Atfirstsome doubts were entertained s to whether even the Rus- sian governmont could transport for life a man who had done nothing more than dimply absent himself from his native land. Sinco that time, however, several letters have boen received by parties throughout the state and from Mishenitza which leave no doubt as to the unfortunate man's fate. One of the first letters ou tho subject told that preparatory to being transportod to Si- beria, Gerbar would bo confined for one yoar {n the jail at Lomsha, This information was 1mparted in advance of the facts of tha case, Gerber was confined temporarily in Ostralonka, 1 which place is situ- ated the jail of the state of Lomsha, Thence he was taken without ceremony and | sent alniost immediately to Irkutsk, where | the poor fellow now languishes, There is no hope of executive clomency save through the meditation of this covernment and unfortu-» nately at this writing the information 1s wanting 1o enable the matter to be accurately placed before the stute department. The most authentic intelligence 1s contained in the following lettor, which is proauced in the been decrensed by the fact that Gerber's son may moet the fate of his father. The young man is about. eightoon years of age, and, like his father, wasa peddler. Ho travoled in this state and in responsc to a letter from his father, who was then at K, roturned home. ' Some of his frionds » endoavored to disstade him from his rash act, but without success, As the young man cal to this country about the saume time his father aid and remained here as long a8 the latter, ho has perhaps oceen considered a8 having committed the samo crime alleged against his father. If the same punishment ehould bo meted ont to hith, it would but in- tensify the shock which Gerber's friends have already sustained in the latter's impris- onment. The young man is said to be of nerculean proportions and it 18 believed here that either the dreaded conscript or tho gaileys awnait him. He was expected 10 arrive hero some weeks ago but has not, as yet mado his appearance. 1o is a man who greatly resembles his father in personal appearance. The latter is a man about six feet tall, heavy frame, rather stoop shoulders, long, black, but not heavy beard, prominent nose, blue eyes and long ok hair. He is w man about forty-ono ars of ugo, and leaves a wifo anda four children, The accompanving picture is a very good likeness of the unfortunate. Yeosterday an old friend of Gerber's camo to this city ut the request of Tur Brr, His name is Henry Veugrovitch, Ho is a ped: dler and travels (n Tow He told Tne Bee man that he and Gerber had como to this country seven years ago, ‘They first settled in New York city,where they remained three months, They then went 1o Pennsylvauia, whore they traveled in the vieinity of Clear! field, and where they remained about elgnt months. They then came to Nebraska and havo always mado their headyuarters in Omaha. A 'son of Veugroviteh accompaniea Gerbor home. Tho lad was about nine years of age, and was returning to live with his grandmother, Vengrovitch says that Gerber did not remain more than a couple of duvs, if, indecd, he remained at all, in New York, "on his way back to the old country, and that he had never taken either second or first citizen papers in that state or Pennsylvania.

Siber It is rt and his fate Is pit'ea by all. but nothing be done. [ shall apprise you of further dov opments in the case ‘I'ree-foiirths of the inhuvitants of Siberia aro Russiaus—mostly exiles and their d scendants, Siuce the oightoonth century the Russian government has sent its political dissenters to Siveria. sometimos incorpo- rating them in the Sibo but often putting them to work in the mincs with the meanest criminals. The greatest sufforing ropean civilization has heard of is con- nected with these mines. At ono time it was generally nnderstood in _Europo that more soble intellect and mental vigor wore wastod in tho subterrancan gallories of the Siberian mines than were employed in the govern- neutal palaces at St. Potersburg. Tho con- victs, when sentencod to banishment, are collected from all parts of tho empire at Mescow and sent off i weekly convoys to the numbor of about ten thousand por an- num, one-fifth of whom die in ten years from falizue of the journoy and chauge of climate. In Siberia thoy are di- vided into three classes—thoso forced to work in tho miues, publio labor- ers and those destined for immediate colonization under tho police. Itis a lifoin which there can be no bope and the misery of which can not bo accurately told because indeed feuw live to roturn to tell of tho hor- rors of the place. The banishient of Gerber has attracted attention ull over the country. The story has been published in and commented upon by every leading paper, and a deep-rootod sympathy has boon expressed for the unfor- tunate. In several places indignation neet- ings have beon beld and resolutions con- demning tho cruelty of the Russian goveru- ment havo been adopted ‘T'he matter is to be mads the special order at a meeting of the Omaha branch of tho Jewish alliance which meets in this eity noxt Sunday. This association has branchos throughout the country and is in & most pros porous condition, It possesses a number of influential members and some of them have distinguished themselves in im- portant diplomatic situations. This organization is intended to ameliorn o condition of the Jows expolled from Rus- It nims to take them on their arrival in this country, divert them from the large cities anda colonize them upon tarms. 1t also aims o secure to Jows the rights to which thev are entitled and the first case which will, very probably, come under its uttention will'be that of the ‘unfortunate man in ques tion. The representative of Omaha in the exeou tivo conwittee is Mr, Kohn of Kohn & Harris, who promises to immediately bring the matter to tho attention of Simon Wolf, the treasurer of tho society, who formerly acted as minister from this country to BEgpyt. He is a profound scholar and able diplomat and a man well versed in all the laws and treuties regarding the relations subsisting botween Russian dependencies and the United States, A call is now being propared for a eitizen's meoting to be held shortly in this city in bo- half of Gerber. Tho gathering will be at- tended by influential citizens and the object will be to adopt a series of resolutions requesting the government to ascertain tho conditions under which Gerber was banished, the offonse which he had committed, if any, and what rights be is entitled to under the fiest “eltizon papers’’ which ho has alveady taken out. Several gentlemen of this city have written to rabbis in Ostrolenka for all the facts in the case and some of them unfortunately in- olosod their letters in envelopes containing on the outside the names of well known busi- ness firms who might easily be suspected of making inquiry into the case. It is feared theso lotters will not reach their destination and that in passing through the postofiice Jill b seized by the goverament and de- royed Such being done, there may be danger of the fuots in the case belug much longer cou- cealed, 1f indoed they be not entirsly sup- pressed, unloss on ofloial request from the overnmont at Washington. Auxioty over the fate of Gerber has not TR, dispels the hope that it was tho exilo who, in April last, took out a passport to Poland, the same placo to which the Omuha Gerbor was destined. 1t leaves tho latter with only a “first papor’ regarding itizonship to help bim in securing tho medin- tion and needed assistance of this couutry. As to the cfficacy of such an instrument there is some doubt. (iood lawyers bold that the first papers do_protect men in semi-ciy ized countries and that Russiais not more than a semi-civilized country. Others hola th at abrond nothing can sceiro for a man the protection of this country save his full papers, upon which a passport may be issuc ‘I'hore is even a variety of views as to the mothod to bo pursued to bring this matter be- tore tho state department, though it is gener- ally admitted that the matter should be in- vestizated and ull needed information im- pa 50 that others who may contemplate visiting a foroign couutry may know whether 8.
