i ~ TN MIGHTY PROTEST. j yee Hebrew Societies and Newspapers in This City Hurriedly Prepare Peti- tions to Send to President Roosevelt Imploring Him to Go to the Relief of their Tortured Race in Russia. Every Jeweish society and newspaper in New York is busy to-day pre- parig petitions to forward to President Roosevelt urging him to take some action for the relief of the Jews who are being tortured and slain in Kis- hineff. These petitions will be hurried to Washington in the hope that measures may be taken without delay for the relief of the thoueands who are being subjected to atrocities such as to startle the whole clvilized world. Already sixty-five thousand Jews in Southern Russia have booked trans- atlantic passage os a result of the massacre in Kishineff. Fear of a new outbreak of Russian savagery and expulsion of thousands by the Govern- . ment is driving them to new homes. In Kieff 37,000 Jews have been served with an order of banishment, and must give up their homes and their business within six months, The American Relief Committee has collected $50,000, and of this amount $21,000, or 43,000 roubles, has been cabled through Banker Arnold Kohn, UNCLESAN'S MAN RECOVERS STRA Historical Instrument Stolen from Museum of Imperial Or- | chestra in St. Petersburg and Vainly Sought by Russians. SEARCH WORLD’S CAPITALS. Found In the South of France by Treasury Agent Partelio, Who Arranges for Its Return to Rui SERLIN, May 16.—A_ Stradivarius which had been plaged by several Czars, ‘beginning with Alexander I., and which disappeared from the museum of the Imperiai Orchestra at St. Petersburg !n (May, 1902, has been recovered py Dwight J. Partello, the United States Treasury agent here, Mr. Partello, who is himself the pos- sessor of twenty famous violins, among them being four Stradivari, heard a word dropped by a person interested in violins which enabled him to trace the stolen instrument to a collector Mving pf this city, to Odessa. Most of the money will be used to purchase trans- portation to this country. Mr. Kohn has suggested that measures be taken to transport the refugees to the South and West to prevent their being saddled on the already overburdened Hebrew charities of this city, Further details of the atrocities at Kishineff, suppressed by the Rus- sian censor, are reaching The World correspondents at Berlin and London. It is definitely settled that the massacre was incited by an anti-Semitic newspaper which has been attacking the Jews for several years, Finally it printed the statement that the Jews had killed a Christian boy for rit- walietic purposes during the Passover, and the massacre followed. Btories of eye witnesses substantiate the fact that the police and mille tary looked calmly on while the atrocities were belng committed. The massacre was only stopped when Russian physicians drove to a distant station and telegraphed news of the outbreak to the authorities at St. Petersburg. To-day's reports show that the Jews offered resistance and two Rus- glans were killed during the rioting and thirty-five injured. Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassador at Washington, declares that the accounts of the massacre are greatly exaggerated. ——¢ BUTCHERS ESCAPE WITH ST. PETERSBURG, May 16.—Spurred on by the mighty protest of the whole civilized world, Russia has been compelled to mete out a semblance * of punishment to those who were arrested for participation in the barbarous meveacre of harmless Jews at Kishineff, Bessarabia. With reluctance that was all too apparent the Russian authorities brought to trial a few of the rioters, and In order to appease the wrath of millions of people the-prisoners received prison sentences of varying length, but none was dealt with in accord with the enormity of his crimes. ‘All of those who were arrested for participation in the massacres were taught on their way to their homes after the second day's pillage. They were all laden with the plunder they had taken. They denied that they had been in the mob, and said they had found thelr plunder in the streets, The Russian authorities appear to think that the meagre punishment * meted out to the few prisoners is quite sufficient, and no efforts are being made to run down and punish those who were leaders in the butchery, mu- tilation and torture of men, women and children, KISHINEFF MURDERERS WILL NOT BE PUNISHED.
