ST U WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. — President Roosevelt has decided that no action can be taken by this Government at present which will be of any benefit to the Jews | of Russia. This informatfon was made , public at the White House to-day in the | following statement: Oscar Strauss called upon the Presi- | dent this morning, not to ask him for ac- | | tion, but to consult with him as to| | whether there was any possibility of ac- tion which would result in a cessation of the horrors connected with the massacre of the Jews in Russia. The President stated that, of course, he had been watching with the deepest concern the‘ reports of these massacres; that he had | been appealed to within the last few| weeks to try to take some action not| only on behalf of the Jews in Russia, but in behalf of the Armenians, Poles and | Finns. The result of the President’s in- quiries coincide with statements con- ned in a cablegram from Count de| Witte to Jacob H. Schiff, shown the Presi- dent by JIr. Strauss, as follows: ‘ ‘The Government is horrified at these | outrages. You know that I don't sympa- | thize with such savage outbreaks. All I can do to stop the disorders is done, but as the country is in suca an unsettled | state, the local authorities are often pow- erless.’ ‘In the condition of soclal disorders | which actually exists in Russla, the Pres- ident does not see that any action can | be taken by this Government at present | which will be of any benefit to the unfor- tunate sufferers for whom we feel such Keen sympathy. ASKS FOR SECRETARY’S VIEWS. Among the communications which the President referred to in the fore- going statement, as seeking his inter- vention in behalf of the Jews in Russia, was one from Simon Woif of -this city, President of the Jewish Order of B'nal B'rith. Wolf has received urgent ap- | peals from prominent Jews throughout the country and Europe to exert him- self with the authorities here to se- cure some action by the American Gov- ernment that would tend to protect the Jews of Russia from mobs. Among the communications was one from Rabbi B. L. Leventhal, of Puiladelphia, and Wolf singled this out for a reply ex- pressive of his own views as to the power of the United States Goyernment | in this matter. This letter in substance he repeated to Secretary Root in a short note dated about the middle of last week and in addition he asked the | Secretary if the statements he (Wolf) | had therein made were in accord with | Root's own views. Wolf also called at the State Department to-day and was told by Adee, Second Assistant | Secretary, that Secretary Root’s answer to his application was probably already in the mails and would reach him by | to-morrow at the latest. Adee indicated learly that the situation in Russia was | uchathat it appeared hopeless to expect | any good to result from intervention | by this Government, which expression greed with Wolf’s own opinion as. set | forth in his letter to Rabbi Leventhal. This letter says in part: WOLF'S LETTER TO ROOT. In regard to the outrages perpetrated on our ca-religionists in Russia, I was aware then, ‘AN l am now, that our Government is practi- powerless to do anything in the mut- s under tne circumstances are unfortunately the Govern- | l | | [ for t of Ruesia itself is mn no condition to | entary, its own citizens. The condition at juncture is anomalous. The Czar, in- spired by Count de Witte and compelled by nces over which he has mo con- | trol, has vielded to the demands of the Rus- slan people. A new era 15 dawning and mat- urally excesses are the circumstances of this revolution, It is depolrable and heartrending to realize | that our people, as in so many instances in | history, have to be the victims of mew con- ditions, but we must be just, although suf- fering, and concede that out of this terrible slaughter and turmofl the white robed angel | of peace and justice will emerge and that the citizens, irrespective of faith or nation- ality, will be benefited thereby. Let us, in- stead of wasting words, appeal to the Jews of the United States for money and clothing to send to our stricken co-religionists to put them in a condition to help themselves; and ¥ we will be giving an object los- Tivilized nations, which will again, 25 In so many instances, evidence our world humanity and our deathtess devotion to our icken brethren. GOMPERS DEPLORES ATROCITIES. Gompers, president of the an Federation of Labor, to:day sent a cablegram to Count de Witte, at St. Petersburg, in which he says: While all the world applauded the great achievements of Russiass workmen in the great work of liberty, tne hearts of Ameri- can workmen were aglow. The cause of liberty and justice should not be smirched by atrocities and crime. On behalf of not only the three million or- ganized workmen, but also of all the work- | ingmen of America, wiil you kindly convey this message to your countrymen and our brothers of laber. d - told us that our views more nearly correspond with his than d1d those of any other group. But the support of no party can now stem the tide or affect the-final developments of the great npational drama. Autocracy has abdi- cated in words, but cannot stop half way. A constituent - assembly elected by universai di- 1ect suffrage must formulate guarantees for the liberties promised in the manifesto. It is better for the Government to realize this im- mediately than to travel the painful path over which the pepole will drag it. Count de Witte told us that universal suf- frage also was his final aim, but he disagreed with the methods we proposed and said that | amidst the present excitement, which daily was_leading to bloody collisions -between dif- ferent classes of the population, he did mot consdier It possible for the Government to take the responsibility of establishing universal suf- frage—that steps must be taken by the na- tional assembly itself. L e HELSINGFORS, Finland, Nov. 6.— The imperial manifesto, meeting most: jof the demands of the Finns, arrived here late last night. The constitution- lalists are satisfied and the Sociallsts, who threatened to make a demonstra- i tion, have thus far been quiet, The manifesto has created a splendid impression and the populace is cooling off.

Fa DYNAMITE PLACED OF THERALS —_— Dastardly Attempt Is Made to Wreck First Section of North Bound Southern Pa- cific Train in the South S e R CARS LEAP BIG GAP MADE BY EXPLOSION Hundreds of Sleeping Trav- elers Miraculously Escape Death in Disaster That Wrecks Tweo Large Engines 2 Nk AR Special Dispatch to‘The Call. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Nov. 6.—The kind hand of providence frustrated a fiendish attempt to wreck a passenger train on the Southern Pacific and hurl hundreds of passengers into eternity early this morning. The first section of train No. 9, north bound, consisting of two engines and twelve Pullman sleepers, flying down the “Race Track” between Tangair and Harlon, twelve miles north of Surf, struck the Tangair bridge, which spans the Los Alamos Creek at a height of 112 feet. The bridge is 110 feet long. As the train reached the center a loud explosion was heard, followed by another. The two engines were badly smashed and put out of commission, the rails were spread and the bridge torn up for several feet. For- tunately the train was going at a rate of | sixty miles an hour and its momentum | pulled it over the gap in the bridge made by the explosion. Dynamiters had been at work. They had placed two sticks of dynamite be: tween the rails on the bridge. The des: peradoes must have worked rapidly, for | a freight train had crossed the bridge | Lalf an hour before. While many cling | to the belief that the deed was the work | of professional train robbers, others are| of the opinion that it was done in a spirit of spite against the Southern Pa- cific Railroad Company. Had it not been for the speed at which the train was traveling it would have fallen through the gap, the carriages would have been completely wrecked the bridge and made a death trap for the second and third sections which were following and hun- dreds of persons would have been killed. George Harris controlled the first engine and Joseph Bowser the second. As soon as they heard the explosion they reversed the brakes and the train was brought to a standstill within a short distance.’ The shock awakened the passengers from their peaceful slumbers and a great com- motion ensued. Rear brakeman Josephi Bowers started off to flag the traln, when one of the passengers exclaimed:| “Aren’t you afraid the robbers will shoot p 4 Not a bit,” was the cool response; “I'm simply doing my duty.” Engineer Bowser is the son of engineer Al Bowser, whose presence of mind saved the “Florodora Girls,"” & including Nan Randolph, from being killed when his engine went through a burning bridge at Red Bluff, near Sacramento, a year ago, and who was presented with a medal by the members of the company. A special trajn from San Francisco ar- rived at the scene of the wreck this af- ternoon. On the train-were Superintend- ent Wilder, Resident Engineer G: M. Far- ley, Detective Lewin and ‘Assistant En- gineer R. M. Drake. HEAVY STORN VISITS CATALINA Small Boats Are Greatly Damaged, Pier Ruined and Costly Launches Wrecked o ot \ Speclal Dispatch to The Call. AVALON, Santa Catlina Island, Nov 6. The most disastrous storm that has disited Santa Catalina {p _many years broke yesterday, doing great damage to the shipping of the bay. It began with a thunderstorm, during which the wind shifted to the northeast, the only point from which this bay is unprotected, and soon blg breakers were rolling on the beach. The small boats which were not well secured began to fill and were car- ried in on the beach by the force of the waves. The list of vessels-destroyed includes a score of small boats, six glass bottom boats and three launches, including E. L. Doran’s fine boat the Pronto, sald to be the speediest craft on the Pacific Coast and valued at about §7000. She came ashore in front of the pumping sta- tlon, striking the big concrete -pillar which supports the suction pipes, break- ing it off and impaling herself on the pipes. Of the other launches which suffered the Flelen, owned by Harry Doss, was erippled to the extent of about $1500, and the Marle, owned by Bert Allen, suffered not quite so badly. This morning the entire bay is strewn with wreckage and the streets are a wilderness of boats. The boathouse wharf is a wreck, The steamer Cabrillo arrived in the height of the storm. On coming into the entrance of the bay®she turned about and returned to San Pedpo without get- ting nearer than a mile bf the wharf. In destroying the intake pipes of the salt water plant the Pronto put the Aquarium out of business, and there is scarcely a thing left alive of all the wonderful collection of fishes and marine curlos, which are dependent upon con-- stantly rurining water for their existence, Kentucky to Eleet a Legislature.

Revolutionary Color. e Piteous Cry Goes Up From Masses of Unemployed. LONDON, Nov. 6.—The desperate con- dition of the poor of London was brought to the notice of Premler Bal- four to-day by a remarkable deputation of the wives and other women rela- tives of the unemployed, who did ‘not hesitate to tell the Premier that un- less something is speedily done to les- sen their suffering there would be bloodshed. “Don’t forget that hungry men are desperate men,” sald one of the speak- ers. All had the same tale to tell of husbands out of work ang starving wives and children. The pinched faces and tattered clothing of the women, some of them having babies in their arms, bore eloquent testimony to the truth of their complaints. Enormous crowds of women from all parts of London marched through the streets headed by a deputation which Balfour received at the office of the The “Mar- seillaise” was heard as the procession advanced, perhaps the first time it was ever heard under such, circumstances in the streets of London. Only forty of the women were ad- mitted into the presence of Balfour, The Premler was very sympathetic. He acknowledged that the evil was very | real, but he had little to suggest in the way of alleviation except an expression of hope that public charity would come to the aid of the unemployed. He deprecated the socialistic suggestion hat industries should be started at the | national expense for the benefit of the unemployed as calculated to destroy the springs of enterprise and energy of At the close of Balfour's “speech of despair,” as the delegates | deseribed it, Mrs. Crooks, wife of Will- iam Crooks, a labor party member of the House of Commons, and several other women excitedly invited Balfour | to come and live among them for a few months. The Premier remarked that he was quite aware that nothing he had said could be other than disap- pointing. They had his genuine sym- pathy. and he felt most acutely the magnitude of the evil from which they were suffering. A mass meeéting of the women was held in the afternoon to hear the re- port of the delegation. Mr. Crooks, M. P,, and others made speeches. Crooks said that Balfour's reply to the dele- | gation was unworthy of the Premier of a great country.
