TIIK CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JULY fl, 1011. PAGE T RUSSIA HARD ON THE JEWS. Their Plight Worse Than Ever, Says Author Bernstein, CZAR HELPS THE ATTACKS. He Is Declared to Be In Sympathy With the Attitude of the Antliemltlo PreM Obstacles Put In Way of Jewe' Education. Herman Bernstein, tbo author, has fast returned from a visit to Russia to study tbo condition of tho Jews In that country. Bo said tbo condition of the Jews there now Is worso than ever lefore. Mr. Bernstein said that the entire Russian press, headed by tbo Nova Vremya, the semiofficial organ, is as sailing tho Jews. It Is charging that the recent murder of a Christian was done by Jews for ritualistic purposes in, celebration of tho Passover. "Tbo purpose," he said, 'Is to offset proposed liberal legislation in the douma, such, for instance, as the re moval of the palo of settlement that Is, the extension of permission to Jews to live In provinces outsldo of the fif teen to which they are now restricted. The newspapers say that if the Jews were permitted to live outsldo the palo the lives of Christiana in those prov inces opened to Jewish settlement would not be safe. "Such publications and all discus sions of Talmudlc laws were prohibit ed In tho reign of Nicholas, but now the reactionary newspapers are given free rein. The old libel of murders of Christians perpetrated by Jews for ritualistic purposes has been histor ically disproved and disproved recent ly, but is still persisted in. Liberties Dwindling. "All the liberties extended to tbo Jewish race under the constitution of 1005 have been practically nullified or abridged through inaction, subterfuge, trickery and the revival of old and for gotten laws. Russia is now building up a second generation of illiterate Jews, a dangerous proceeding. She has ber parliament and her constitu tion, but they accomplish nothing. "Tho reformers of 1005 Introduced the public school system for all, but now only D per cent of tho Jewish children are permitted to attend the public schools. Until recently Jewish young men could study outside and take the final examinations of tho gymnasiums for entrance to tbo uni versities, tho passing of which would also entitle them to live outside the palo. Under an old law Just raked up tho number Is. limited to 5 or 10 per cent of the Russians taking tho final examinations. Thus Russia is barring her Jewish youth from a university education. At to Paesportt. "Russia gives passports quite freely to those Jews who patronize Russian steamship lines. Tbo trouble Is to get Into tho Interior of Russia. The Rus sian consulates in America do not vise tho passports of Jews. Three years ago tho Russian consul in New York vised my passport because he thought I would wrlto something to please the Russian government When I went back the second year he inserted In my application blank, 'What Is your re ligion?1 "I said that, being in America, I was not obliged to answer. "Ho said, 'Don't you know that Jews are not allowed to enter Russia? " 'But you let mo through last year,' I replied. "Ho then told tho vice consul in Rus sian that he supposed they would have to viso my passport. "I had no difficulty in visiting Ko bovtzofiC, minister of finance; Count Wltte, member of the council of tho empire, and Ambassador Rockhlll. Count Wltte said the government would not be prepared to ameliorate tbo condition of tho Jew for years. The Russian government will do noth ing for the American Jews until tho Jewish question Is settled in Russia, v "There is no truth In the report that Russia has mado concessions to Amer ;a In tho matter of passports. All ho protests, resolutions and represen tations of this .government were ig nored. "I think the prejudice against tbo Jew Is chiefly in tho mind of tbo czar. Talc bearers find in tho czar a ready listen er. They tell him that the Jews breed revolution. I know that tho czar per sonally has been helping tho anti-Jew-lsh press and has been giving money to its vilest, publications." PRIMROSE QUITS STAGE. Famous Minstrel Man Retire After Forty Years. George Primrose, the minstrel, Is quitting the stage to tread the life of ease. Tho member of a famous coterlo of burnt cork artists said: Tvo got enough money to last me, more than I can spend, and Pm finish ed. I quit of my own accord before I have to." Thus the associate ot that band of minstrels 'which tncradefl, Hesere. Billy Emerson, Charley Reed, Jack Have fly and Billy Birch la putting on his final touches of cock after a eajwer, of forty yean on the stag. JAW OF A SHARK IS FOUND IN OKLAHOMA. Farmer Disoovers Bones of Great Ab Excellently Preserved. On tbo farm of 11. K. Sears, near Alulhall, Okla.f- tlioer Das been tils covered a large deposit of Ltouen of numerous prehistoric animals. Tin bones are in an excellent state or pres ervation. Teeth of the elephant that once ranged from the gulf region to Canada and remains of the mastodon have been Identified. The bones of many other animals, both large and small, await the examination of geolo gists. There has been little exploni tlon for tho remains of prehistoric ani mals in Oklahoma. Tho deposits on tho Scars farm bear evidence of great age. They are ex posed at tho base of a canyon wall, about thlrty-flvo or forty feet below the surface of the surrounding region Above tho bones are succcsslvo layers of sandstone and earth, while at the top are the natural humus and a heavy growth of large forest trees. Sears was digging in tho canyon to build a fish pond when ho found tho first bones, which ho exposed along the face of tho wall for a dlstanco of forty feet and to tho depth of six feet. Tho deep er he dug tho more numerous wero the bones. Tho bones were In light yellow earth of tho consistency of docayed sawdust Between tho strata were layers of strongly cemented gravel. Tho different strata seemed to contain the bones of different animals. One large Jawbono was filled with long sharp teeth like those of a shark. The Jaw had no articulation Joint, but spread laterally In n fan shape. Mr. Sears is confident that tons or bones may be dug from the ennyon wall. He has abandoned his explora tion lest he destroy tho bones in try ing to dlslodgo them, preferring that they should be recovered by a scien tist HUSBAND OVERRULED. Flats Built Especially For Babies Will Now Be Babyless. Tho famous ."baby flats" at Brock ton, Mass., six tenements under one roof, built exclusively for families with babies, will hereafter bo rented to babyless tenants, says John Hill Bartlett, tho owner, whoso venture has resulted In ex-President Roosevelt sending him a personal letter of com tuendntlon. Two years ago Mr. Bartlett announc ed that he saw no reason why families should be barred from tenements be causo they bad children. A year ago be married a waitress. Now be says be has renounced his former onlnlon of babies. Gradually his tenements have been cleared of children until there are now only threo in tho building, where a year ugo more than a dozen romped through tho rooms. Mr. Bartlett does not express him self as opposed to babies, but Mrs. Bartlett frankly admits she prefers families without them. "Babies are all right, 1 suppose." she said, "but they make a lot of noise and do much damage. I am not fond of children anyway, and as the letting of the tenements Is now in my bands I guess there will bo no more children here." GUNNERY RECORDS BROKEN. Fine Work With Heavy Coast Defense Guns on Corregidor Island. All previous records for gunnery work by heavy coast defense guns have been broken by two batteries at Fort Mills, Corregidor island, tho new est fortification to have target prac tice. One was the record for day filing and the other for night firing. Tbo best night work, so far as records of tho war department show, was made by the Thirteenth company, com manded by First Lieutenant W. Watts Rose. This company, firing with twelve Inch guns, mado four hits out of six shots In a fow seconds Ices than the minimum tlmo recorded for this num ber of shots. Tho target was at a dis tance of 7,500 yards. A greater degree of accuracy was made by the Eleventh compauy on day firing with twelvo inch guns. This company, commanded by Captain. B. L Bennett, mado six hits out of six shots at 8.100 yards. Tho tlmo was 3 min utes 48 seconds, a fraction mora than ono and a half hits per gun per min ute. This makes a figure of merit of 2S3. For both practices tho target was tho regulation target, thirty feet nigh and sixty feet long and towed at eight knots an hour. BONBONS LOSING FAVL1. Confectioners Say Girls Demand Some thing More Substantial. Tbo bonbon bas passed out of favor, according to statements mado by lead ing confectioners of the country. The young women have becomo more prac tical, so dealers say, and demand somothlng In the Uno of confectionery which will take tho place of a meal. Puro food laws and their require ments wero the principal subjects be fore tho convention. "Our greatest problem," sold D, J. O'Brien of Omaha, secretary of tho National Confectioners' association, "is trying to keep abreast of the rul ings of the federal puro food authori ties. They demand that each separate piece bo weighed and labeled. They prescribe how many pieces can be placed In a carton and how much each ploce shall weigh. According: to tholr rulings at present, each piece of chew ing sum or chocolate must be so weighed and so labeled." A MODEST MAID By D W. SPR1NCER Copyright by American Press Asso ciation, 1911. My friend Mrs. Southwlrk wrote mo to corns down ft ber country place. She said she hud un especial reason for asking me, but didn't tell mo what it was. So one midsummer morning I took a train to make the visit. On reaching the station I was not ex pected till an hour later not finding a conveyance to meet me, I concluded to leavo my baggage at the station unci walk. Never having been to Mrs Southwick's place before, I was obliged to inquire the way and was put on to a short routo, at the end of which 1 could enter tho grounds at the rear. On arrival I climbed a fence and walked some three or four hundred yards to a clump of trees, which was so tnvlt lng that I concluded to penetrate it Right in the middle there was swung a hammock, and In the hammock lay a young girl asleep. Now, a young girl asleep In a bam mock Is a pretty sight at any time, but If protty and In a shaded nook she Is tempting. This one was very pretty. There was about her that relaxation artists love to get in their pictures and statuary. Thero was a slow heaving of her breast Her mouth was partly open, showing a narrow line of Ivory be tween a pair of pink coral Hps. Well, though the natural conse quence of a young man seeing a girl thus defenseless before him is that b cannot resist tho temptation to kiss her and get his ears boxed not for his pains, but bis pleasure I will en deavor to describe what happened. 1 advanced a step at a time, and with every stop forward I took ten back ward in my resolution not to dishon estly steal what did not belong to me I reached a point but a yard from tin sleeper without waking ber. She was slumbering so calmly that for BOine time I dared not proceed farther for fear of awakening her. Had sbo slept more soundly I might have been bolder. But while halting I was grad ually filling with bravery or reckless ness. As soon as I had gathered enough courago for tho purpose 1 ad vanced another step or two, halted, then bent down to seo bow near 1 could bring my face to hers without wakening her, then touched my lips lightly to hers. Beyond a slight spasmodic move ment she remained the same. Within a single moment I experienced dread and reassurance. The girl slept on. and I, having achieved my purpose, be came suddenly conscious of the frightful risk I bad run and was seized with a desire to escape the con sequences of my offense. I withdrew as stealthily as possible and proceed ed to the house. , I was received bj Mrs. Southwlck with a hearty welcome, and we sat down together on wicker chairs on the piazza. "And now that you are hero,"' she said, "and while wo are alono 1 will give yen my reason for Inviting you down. 1 have a wlfo picked out for you." "A wife!" "Yes, a very lovely girl, modest un assuming, protty indeed, everything that is maidenly." "And all this Is for me?" "Yes, but you must proceed with ber very slowly. She Li sensitive, pure Tho least advance before an offer of marriage would undeniably shock her." "For heaven's sake I" I exclaimed in wardly. "Suppose she should be the girl asleep In the hammock." "It is this maidenly modesty," con tinned the go-between, "that Is Edith's chief charm. I am sure that alono Is enough to moke you love her." "I dare say," I replied, with proper politeness. When I was presented to Miss Edith Groer I felt the guilt of Judas Iscarloi welling up In me. I grew red and pale by turns. I stammered out a few words that didn't mean anything. 1 sat down before she or Mrs. South wick hod seated herself and Jump ed up as If I had encountered a tack on the cushion. Meanwhile' Miss Greer stood with her eyes bent on the floor as If I were the first young man she bad over met Mrs. Southwlck came to the rescue by Inviting us into the dining room for luncheon. Tbo fact that the young lady dis played no such embarrassment as she might have done had she been sensi ble of tho kiss I bad stolen, that she neither appeared shocked nor indig nant, brought a return of confidence. 1 found her rather too unsophisticated; but as Mrs. Southwlck bad said, ber modesty was her chief charm. As 1 noticed this I shuddered at the enor mlty of my offense in pressing those pure Hps with mine' and gave frequent thanks that tho piracy bad not been detected. Mrs. Southwlck made the match sbe Intended. Tho only difficulty in the way was that tho young lady was so sweetly Innocent that it seemed a sacrilege to mo to propose to her. I finally got out a proposition, and, though at first she said sbe was too young and too inexperienced to trust herself to any man, since she regard ed me the soul of honor sho would commit herself to my keeping. The denouement of a love Btory usually comes with a wedding. In this case it comer- at a tin wedding. "What a mo st little thing you were, my deair- I said, "when we were married this day ten years ago!" "Ratal'' she exclaimed. "I was lay. ing In wait for you In that hammock and was wide awake when you kissed ne."
