Willlam Nettler, colored, was arrested last night by Emergency Officer Baldwin and Detectives Stryker and Hudson In a room at 1111 Capitol avenue. August 2% George Strobeck, who lives In Council Bluffs, came to this city and vis- fted Levy's saloon M the bad lands. While there he met some colored men who baughi two' drinks, after. which they and Stro- beck went into an alley In the rear of the place. The colored men ran Btrobeck up and_down the alley two or three times and’ gave him a push out into the streef, when they took to their heels. Strobeck felt for his money, amounting to %0, and his watch and found them both gone. He gave chase to one of the men, but did not succeed in overtaking him, Shortly afterward the Council Bluffs man was picked up on the strest in an insensible condition, which it is thought was due to drugged whisky. He was taken to the station and related his story. Several ar- rests were made at the time, but none of the parties answered the description of the men wanted. The police secured a tip as to who one of the robbers was and they have been laying for Nettler ever since, as they think he is the man. Strobeck came over from Councll JBlufts the day following the robbery to try and jdentify the men arrested. He stopped in a saloon to get a drink and overheard a conversation between three men who had OFFICERS ASSIST RIOTERS 8old ers and Policomen Form 8h'e!d Behind Which Jews Are Killed. EDUCATED CHRISTIANS AID OUTRAGES Trouble Staris i n Peasants and Jews and Quarrel Between emitic Outbreak Be- comen Geners of Mohile Assoclated Russia Press GOMEL, Government Monday, Sept. 21.—Tho correspondent has made on the spot where ‘Progrom,” a8 the Russians describe the anti-semite riot curred September 11, and were continued for several days. The riots were smaller but perhaps more remarkable than those which took place at Kishineff, because the police and military openly sided with the plunderers and murderers—the “Progrom shieks,” as the Russlans called them The troops, supported by many educated and well-to-do Christians, formed a move- able shield behind which the “Progrom- shieks” ruthlessly demolished the Jewish homes and shops and cruelly clubbed such Jews as fell into their hands, leisurely pro ceeding from street to street and district to district as they did so The commerce and industry of Gomel largely in the hands of the Jewish popula- tion, numbering 25,000 and the Jewish artl- sans incline to soclalism. The trouble began September 11, a holiday, “The day of the beheading of John the Baptist,” In a wrangle in the frult and fish markets between peasants and Jews. The wrangle ended in u free fight in which many were wounded, one peasant succumb- ing to his Injuries. The peasants demanded vengeance and employed the following daye, Saturday and Sunday, In Inflaming the anti-semitic agitation, the leader being an officer named Penskw, and a rich mer- chant named Petrachenko Everybody knew that a “Progrom’ would occur on Monday and the Jews appealed for protection to the chief of police, who summoned a regiment from its summer en- campment; thus there were 1,600 soldiers in the town. un the Officers Club Jews, At luncheon hour on Monday the anti- semitic rallway workmen to the number of several hundred began an organized tack on Jewish houses on Bamakovoska street, and demolishing or spolling the bulky articles by soaking them with kero- sene. Police Chief Raveky had placed po- lice and soldiers on the street, but they acted as though they were intended to pro- tect the ‘Pogramshieks” from injules. Jews attempting to rescue their corelig- ionists were clubbed or bayonetted or ar- rested. The rioters poured steadily over the bridge leading from the rallway workshops. A bystander begged the commander of the gendarmerie to send troops to guard the exit from the bridge. The officer replied by threatening the man with arrest, and sald, “We know what we have to do” The plunderers now proceeded from street to street, the troops and police followed them and cutting off access to the devas- tated Jewlsh houses. They subsequently visited the Jewlsh quarter called “Amer- ica,” then Konnays square, the upper end of Roumianzovskays street, the. principal thoroughtare of the town, and the district called “Caucasus.’ Hundreds of Houses Wrecked. Altogether nearly 400 houses and shops wero wholly or partlally wrecked, the win- dows smashed, the blinds and frames be- ing splintered and every scrap of furniture and effects, even the samovars, sewing ma- chines, mirrors and lamps destroyed or stolen. The Jows who did not take refuge with compassionate Christlans or conceal themselves In cellars were severely beateri and In many cases dangerousls wounded. Bome young Jews, cxasperated by the ac- tion of the police and troops, armed them- selves with any available weapons and tried to force their way to the threatened houses. One Jewess attempted to shoot a noncommissioned officer, and twenty-five re- volver shots were heard in the vicinity of the bazar, but were apparently fired in the air, as no one was hurt. The police then undertook to disarm the Jews. Forty bulld- ing laborers collected in the busiest part of Roumanzovskaya street and stopped ond beat every passing Jew. This gang was en- couraged by Assistant Police Captain Char- nolonsky and Rural Police Commander Ye- lensky. The gang clubhed Berg Kevash to death In the presence of these officers, and after the victim had been removed to the hospital the latter coentinued in amicable conversation with the murderers, none of whom were arrested. investigation | tions.

FRIENDS OF MACEDONIA ASK FOR WAR Meet in Principal Mereantile Clty of Bulgaria and Intervention After Thunk: Demn Friends of Country” SOF Bulgwria, Sept. 28.—A ‘less hope ful teeling prevails tonight, although actual change I¥ reported. The events of the next two duys are awaited with great dnxlety and popular fecling is becoming more excited. A largely attended meeting of Mafedonian sympathizers heid at Rustchek, Bulgaria, September 2, and adopted resolutions appealing to the Bul- garian goverament to declure war n urkey immediately. In revolutionary circles war is believed to be imminent unless Turkey stops mas- sacreing the Christians, of which there are no signs at present. Dr. Christo Tartar- cheft, president of the Macddonian organi- zations, has informed the Assoclated Pi correspondent that the insurgent commit- tees attach no fmportance to the reported negotiations between Turkey and Bulgaria because aimilar propositions were discussed in 187, and later in 189 and 190. The porte, added Dr. Tartarcheff, only entered into the conference in order to gain time to finish the extermination of what it regards the dangerous elements in Mace- donla, which leaves the troops now at Monastir free to move against Bulgaria and bring more soldiers from Asfa. While 'the sultan's government fs dis- cussing proposals for reform in Macedonia the troops continue to massacre the Chris- tians and devastate the country Little Hope of improvement. Referring to the details of the proposed arrangements Dr, Tartarcheff sald there was no guarantee that even if the com- mission was appointed it would ever be more than ornamental. The various vil- lage commissions in Macedonia have Bul- garlan members, but they are always fa- vorable to the Turks. The president of the Macedonian organization concluded by de- claring that the insurgents would be sat- isfled with nothing short of Intervention by the powers. Soclal significance attaches to the Mace- donfan meeting at Rustchuk because the resolutions adopted are the first open x- pression of such an emphatic character in favor of war coming from any popular meeting In Bulgaria. Rustchuk is the chiet commercial town In the country. Resolu- tions were also passed thanking the pope, the English bishops, the Trades Unlon con- gress, and the Britlsh and American press for their expressions of sympathy with the Macedonian cause Fighting is reported to have taken place near Kotschani, on the frontler, where the Turks lost Afty men killed and the insurg- ents suffered a loss of ten.

CONSTANTINOPLIE, Sept. 28.—The re- lations between Turkey and Bulgaria ure daily becoming more strained. Rumors are current of a crisis at Yildiz Kiosk, und that the grand vigiership has been offered to Said Pasha, who was unceremoniously dis- missed last vear, but that -he declines to take over again the office unless he s au- thorized to declare war on: Bulgarla, which the sultan hesitates to do. As one of the results of the numerous cabinets at Yildiz Kiosk the transfer of thirty-two kattalions from Monastir to Adrianople has been ordeted und some thirty-two young officers have gone to Monastir dnd Adrianople to help the army officers.
