    RIOT AT PANAMA ELECTION
President Amador Accused of In-
terfering, and Threatened.
SOME SHOOTING OCCURRED

The administration of President
Amador, has been perpetuated as a
result of the elections at Panama, but |
conditions are now such on the isto.

pres
ence of a large body of poll

of assassination are freely made. but
it is openly asserted by the Liberals
that Dr. Amador will hardly live much
longer.
Election morning dawned cloudy |
and fairly cool and in the early hg urs |
there was no trouble. As the day
wore on the feeling became intense,
and: just after noon a conflict took |
place between a detachment of police |
and a band of Liberals. The latter
insisted on their right of suffrage
and a free-for-all fight followed. The
police were getting the worst of it,
when they drew their revolvers and
shot two men, probably fatally wound-
ing them. A number of others were |
arrested.

als learned that the police had used
their weapons they issued orders to
their forces to abandon the elec:ion
and this was done. All of the leadesr |
and workers withdrew from the polls |
and the word was passed not to do
anything more in the line of voting. |
The rank and file were instructed to
stay away from the voting places,
the intent being to let the Amador |
people have their own way and then |
to attempt to have the United States!
later set the election aside, or else |
by revolutionary methods overturn |
the present administration.
It was rumored that a large num-
ber of Guatemalans were en route to
the isthmus for the purpose of aiding !
in the attempt. Color is lent to this |
report by the pres2nce on the bord- |
ers of the city of a detachment of |
300 Americans with gatling guns. |
They were sent here by xovernor |
General Magoon, who has so far de- |
clined to eXpiain their presence. |

ANARCHISTS MEANT BUSINESS
Bombs Intended for King and Queen
of Italy Found.
The police are now willing to admit
that their activity prevented an at-
tempt by Anarchists on the life of the
King and Queen as they were return-
ing from Ancona, Italy, where they
participated in the exercises in con-
nection with the laying of the corner
stone of the new hospital Sunday.
Search of a suspected farm house
near the station revealed four small
dynamite bombs about the size of
oranges, but of the most powerfui na-
ture. Three men were arrested and
have been identified as well-known |
Anarchists.
SiX DROWNED

House Passes Measure to
Sanitary Precautions.
The House passed the meat inspec-
tion bill, which will give the Secre-
tary of Agriculture authority to com-
pel the packers to keep their places
clean and put only clean and whole-
some meat into the tin cans labeled
so as to give the impression that they
contain toothsome' delicacies.
The bill passed is a compromise
measure between the President and
the Committee having the bill in
charge.
The points vielded by the President
were: No date on label, levy of as-
sessment, omitting words “in the
judgment of the Secretary of Agri
culture.”
Points yielded by committee: Court
review provision, ail appointments tc
be made through civil service.
Other changes mutually agreed
upon: Right of inspectors to packing
plants at all times was amplified tc
read: ‘‘“Whether the same be ir
operation or not.”

other New England cotton manufac-
turing centers follow the lead of Fall

pected ultimately to affect all cotton

TORN TO PIECES BY MOB:
Aged Jew Beheaded and Ghastly
Trophy Carried through Street.
THE RIOTING HAS BEEN STOPPED
The Inhumanity Would Do Credit to
Mongol Hordes of Genghis Khan
in 13th Century.
The anti-Jewish rioting at Bialystok
is ended. The troops are in full con-
trol, and it is not probable the au-
thorities will not permit a renewal of
the horrors. This entire region is
greatly excited owing to the fear that
the Bialystck massacre was only the
signal for a general attack on the
Jews throughout Poland, but if any
such conspiracy existed it is too late
to carry out the plans, as the most
imperative orders to prevent further
outbreaks have been issued to the
governors and governor generals from
St. Petersburg.
When the correspondent arrived at
Bialystok Sunday morning the worst
was already over, but on all sides
there*was revolting evidence of sav-
age bestiality on the part of the
blood-drunken mobs, which sacked
and burned the Jewish houses, shops
and stores.
For 12 hours the mad orgie of blood
and pillage went on unchecked. At
first police and troops urged on the
mob, but finally when dismayed by
the bloody deeds accomplished they
reluctantly sought to obey the orders
of their superiors to put an end to the
work of slaughter.
During the rioting the Jews were
hunted by ferocious pursuers, who in
the majority. of cases were not con-
tent with killing more victims, but
tore them to pieces like wild animals.
The .soldiers watched the butchery,
sometimes laughing, but never failing
to fire into houses where Jews, some-
times to the number of 100, were
making a stand against their assail-
ants.
The tales of atrocities committed
are innumerable, and while some of
them may be exaggerated, enough has
been established to make almost any-
‘hing creditble. The mob seemed to
delight in torturing the victims. Strips
of flesh were cut from their bodies,
children were snatched from their
mothers’ arms and taken by the legs
and brained on the pavement before
the eyes of their parents. An old Jew
was beheaded and the ghastly trophy
was carried all day at the end of a
pike through the streets. In many
cases the heads of victims were beat-
an to a jeliy with stones.
At the Bialystok railroad station,
where the mob searched the trains
for Jews, a rioter seized a 5-year-old
girl by the throat and held her at
arms’ length until she strangled to
death. Mutilated corpses, swarming
with flies, were left lying about the
streets in some cases, for days.
M. Schepkin, a member of the par-
liamentary commission which is in-
vestigating the massacre, expresses
the belief that the outbreak was not
organized in St. Petersburg.
While it is impossible to give the
exact figures, the visits of sthe cor-
respondent to the hospitals and ceme-
teries enables him to approximate the
killed at 100 Jews and 20 Christians
and the wounded at 150 Jews and
seven Christians.

Any hope of activity in the wool
market seems to have little founda-

extremely quiet, owing to an appar-
ant inclination on the part of both
Jealers and manufacturers to hold
back. Lacal buyers feel that the re-
port of no stock in the West is large-
ly fiction, while the dealers main-
tain that the effect of the buyers
to cheapen goods by refusing to
trade has been carried to the extreme.
Territory wools are dull. New med-
ium half-bloods are priced at 28c;

AID FOR SAN FRANCISCO
Secretary Shaw Will Deposit $12,«
000,000 and Fake City Bonds as
Security.
A tactic agreement was reached by
the President, Secretary Shaw and
the delegation of representative citi-
zens of San Francisco, by which sub-
stantial aid will be given San Fran-
cisco by the Government.
It is proposed that the United
States treasury deposit with the San
Francisco banks $12,000,000 of Gov-
ernment money with bonds of the
city as security, the money to remain
with the banks until such time as
the Government shall call for it.
This may not be for a number of
years.
It is proposed in California to or-
ganize a corporation with a capital
of several] million of dollars, compos-
ed of prominent and influential men
in California and other States, and to
issue bonds to guarantee the Govern-
ment against loss through the banks.
The House passed a bill
to the State of California five per
cent of the net proceeds of the sale
of public lands.
PRIZES FOR DEAD JEWS
Anti-Jewish Movement in Russia is
Appalling.
Reports from many Russian pro-
vinces and towns indicate a ravnid and
appalling spread of the anti-Jewish
movement, which is now virtually out
of bounds, and: resulted in general
massacres, in which death in the most
horrible ard barbarous forms has
ben visited upon Jews of all ages,
station and sex. ’
Open rewards of money for the
heads and bodies of Jews are offer-
ed at Mischien by rich Gentiles. Al-
lowances of $5 are being paid for each
Jew killed, $2 for each Jew wounded
and $1 for each male Jew child slain.
These offers arouse the cupidity of
the peasants and have led them to
form Jew-hunting expeditions.
Negro Gave False Alarm.
Fully 1,500 spent a day outside of
Madison, Wis., because of a super-
city as predicted by a negro exhorter,
who said that the waters of Lakes
Mendato and Monona would rise up
and engulf the city because of its in-
iquities. The exhorter called him-
self Prof. Jones. The prophecy was
the talk of the city for several days
and scores of timid persons drew
their deposits from the banks and left
town.
Senate Passes Canal Bill.
After five days of debate the bill
incorporating the Lake Erie and Ohio
River Ship Canal Company was pass-
ed by the senate by a vote of 41 to

and three Democrats for it. The bill

become a law before adjournment.
