JEWISH PERSECUTION

BY OFFICIAL CONNIVANCE,

A recent number of the Daily Telegraph prints a long communication from a special correspondent headed "Persecution by Official Connivance The communication gives de tails based on statements of eye-witnesses of the recent attack on jews at Mohileff, The Commissioner sums up the

accusations

against the Jews, which, he says, are made specially for foreign consumption, as follows: They sell vodica to the reserve soldiers at

exorbitant prices, and thus inceuse those men, who naturally avenge themselves by pillaging Jewish shops and houses. They evade military service, and then Orthodox Russians have to serve in lieu of the Jewish deserters. That, of course, embitters the Christian recruits and explains their conduct. These accusations are serious, and would, of course, explain every. thing except the conduct of the police-if they were true. But they are false, and not false only, but impossible, as every Russian knows. In the first place, it was not the reserves who

attacked the Jews, but local loafers and hooligans. In the second place, the Jews could not raise the price of alcohol, nor sell it at all, because it is the imperial Government which alone sells vodka, having a monopoly of it. In the third place, Christians have not to serve in the army in lieu of jews. The latter are bound to provide a certain number of reserves, and for all of them who desert the Jewish community must find members of the same faith. In like manner, Russians must

- Sergt, detective J. Grant said that on the 29th December, at about noon, he went to No. 15 Kowloon godown, and, there saw a case bearing marks corresponding with the bill of lading produced. He opened the box, and found it contained 12 rifles. The last witness was not present when he opened th: box, but viewed it alterwards. The defendant firm have no licence. They had one, but about six months ago the Captain Superintendent of Police cancelled it.

Mr. Hallifax, interposing, said it was can- celled about March last, and it ceased to operate about June 1903.

Witness, continuing, said the application shown was from Messrs. Arahoid, Karberg and Co., for a removal permit; they are licensed dealers now. A removal permit was issued in accordance with that application. permit was

for the removal of twelve American Enfield rifles, and those in the case in question 'tallied with the description of those on the permit.

To Mr. Hallifax: He believed the goods were lying in the godown to the order of Messrs. Arnhold, Karberg & Co.

To Mr. Gedge: He got that information from the officer of the Kowloon godown. He made no other inquiries. The Godown Company told him that the case was landed to the order of Arnhold, Karberg & Co., and said it was stored for them. He was not told that that firm paid the landing charges.

Carl Herbst said he was a clerk to defend- ant firm. He received instructions and a bili of lading from Mr. Boisseree, manager of de- fendant firm, and was told to hand the bill of lading over to Messrs. Arnhold, Karberg and

Canton, 18th January. Report of piracy on the river comes almost daily to hand. On Thursday last a gang of robbers visited several of the small craft aroundÎN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG Whampoa, and the lightkeeper at the bartier, having: witnessed their nefarious deed, was taken, with his son, in his own bont and put ashore about two miles from the barrier. They lost their clothes, boat, etc., but walked into Whampoa Station and reported the matter to the authorities who have com- menced a search for the marauders. The frequent pimcies on the river, are a serious mence to the local shipping, and the Chinese, authorities, beyond sending a guard-boat to the pirated locality, seem to sit still. Only when pressure is brought to bear do they sometimes compensate the unfortunate victims, the funds for which are generally, if not always, squeezed from the nearest, or surrounding, villages on the plea that the iniscreants must have come from the locality in which the crime was com mitted.

WHOLESALE KIDNAPPING. News has also reached me of another piracy, this time coupled with wholesale kidnapping. On Sunday night a gang of pirates visited the flower boats, anchored some distance east of the Klectric Light works belonging to Messrs. Shewan Tomes & Co, and after making off with their booty retumed again in a small junk, about 1.30 a.in. on Monday just after the re- vellers had nearly all left, and pulled along.

Lastly, there remains the charge of desertion. Is it true? Yes, quite true; but, then, it is true of Christain and Jews alike, for the war is very unpopular. The interesting part of the story is that the Christians shirk their duty far more extensively and successfully than the Jews. That can be proved by figures, and the following data are not likely to be challenged by anyone. Before the reserves were called out at all, the total of Jews in the Manchurian army was, roughly, thirty thou. sand men. In all probability it exceeded that number, the bulk of them serving in Siberian regiments. It is as well, however, to state the case moderately. Now, since the mobilisa- tion of the reserves (in the districts where the Jewish element is largely represented, such as Viina, Odessa, Warsaw, Kieff, the active Rus sian army has no less than fifty thousand soldiers of the Jewish faith. And that is an enormous percentage. Indeed, so abnormally great is that precentage of Jews that if the

other nationalities who acknowledge he sway of the Tsar contributed â proportionate number of soldiers, Kuropatkin's army would now number approximately one million | And the

people who thus spill their blood more freely than the Christian Russians would be excus able if they deserted en masse, because the Jews enjoy none of the privileges accorded to the Russians, and they could not, therefore, be blamed if they refused to look upon Muscovy as their fatherland. But in spite of the injus. tice done them by the Tsar's Government, they generously give their fives to the Tsar. And the Tsar'sagents in return egg on the hooligans of all Southern and Western Russia to pillage, burn, and destroy Jewish property, and to beat and kill Jewish men and women; while the police, who ought to protect even malefactors from the tury of the mob, egg on the rioters, lead them to the Jewish houses, and let them loose against unarmed Jewish women and men, Yet the Tsar's Ministers assure Russia that it is being governed in harmony with the imperial manifesta, which approves liberty of con-

to their order. He went and Banded the docu- ment personally to Mr. Lieb, of Arnhold, Kar- berg & Co., but before doing so he went to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. and got it endorsed by them, as he was told that as the ship was leaving the case must be landed at

once.

To Mr. Hallifax: This is not the first time that bills of Inding have been handed over to Messts. Arnhold, Karberg and Co in the same way within the last six months. Witness had

to do with the removal of arms on several occasions for defendant firm. He had no fear of prosecution. He had studied the Arms Ordinance, but he knew it for his own purposes,

Fritz Lieb, an assistant in the firm of Messrs. Arnhold, Karberg and Co. said he was in charge of the arms business, and his firm holds a licence to deal in arms. The last witness brought him the bill of lading, shown, on the 27th of December last. It was endorsed by Jardines, and the defendant firm. Both those signatures were necessary before he could obtain delivery of the box. He applied to the

police for a removal permit (the letter produced was that application) and he got the permit asked for. He sent the same with a letter to the Kowloon Godown Company, with instruct ions to land the case in their godowns and store it to the account of witness's firm. He subsequently received a godown warrant from the Godows Company, and a bill for land- ing charges against his firm. He did not. know if the bill was paid. He subsequent- ly returned the permit to the police after he had got the case back in the godown. The case is still lying in the godown to Messrs. Arnhold, Karberg and Company; it belongs to them. The defendant firm has no interest in the arms to his knowledge. He neither paid nor received any commission to or from the defendant firm in respect of this case of arms. The defendant firm are the consignees of the case. Witness's firm had not bought the arms

from them.

Philip Wolff, a clerk in the Kowloon Go- downs, said he received a letter, produced, from Arnhold Karberg and Co., together with a bill of lading, and a removal permit. He then sent a launch to get the case from the steamer, it was landed to the account of Arnhold, Karberg and Company, and it was stored to their ac count.

The Chairman said they were not a mutual admiration society, but the truth was great and must preval. If it was true that something of the progress of the Association was due to himself, and the honorary secretary, they would never forget that the Association itself was due to His Excellency the Governor.
