The Atlanta Georgian. VOL. 1. NO. 49. ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 190G. PRICE: & Atlanta TWO Cent*. Trains FIVES Ceuta. Robert Crozier Long, Commissioned by the Hearst News Service, Makes a Searching Investigation at Bialystok and Lays the Blame for Outrage Where it Belongs. Hen I* a story—graphic and hldeoue—of the maaeacre of. Jews, meh women and children, at Bialystok, Ruula, told by Robert Croaler Long, a writer of note, who was commissioned by the Hearst News Service, of New Tork, to go from St. Petersburg, where he had been watching events In the national capital of the osar’s empire during the meeting of the douma, to the rlot-rldden town and tell what he saw and learned. He was not permitted & send his account from Bialystok, and had to go to Warsaw, Poland, to put It on the wires. He declares the massacre was essentially ofltclal; the police, military, hooligans and the “Black Hun dred” played a subordinate part In the outrage. That the slaughter was planned far In advance, has been made evident by Investigations such as Mr. Long made. Many Jews were flogged to death and the bodies mutilated. . Some, es pecially. girls, went mad as a result of inhuman tortures. In their dia bolical thirst to kill and destroy, many of the rioters demolished houses and even smashed children’s toys In the excess of their anger. By Private Leased Wire. St. Petersburg, June 21.—The Black Sea fleet, now at Sebastopol. |s again disaffected. Cronstadt dispatches say the whole force of troops and seamen la ready to revolt. By ROBERT CROZIER LONG. Special Cable—Copyright. Warsaw, June 20.—Worse than Klsh- Inelf. Such Is the Indisputable conclu sion regarding the Bialystok massacre of the Jews. In unbridled, elemental human passions, Klshlneff Is equaled by Bialystok, but for far-sighted plot ting and for cold-blooded atrocity In execution Bialystok Is Incomparably the worst "pogrom" (antl-Jewlsh out break) Russia has yet produced. It was Impossible to cable from Bialystok, so this Is sent from War saw. where I arrived tonight after attending last night and the day In the ravaged city. The pogrom ceased flnel- |y with the Cossack slaughter of a Jew who was trying to reclaim his Stolen goods, but hundreds of Jews lie dead, many after mutilation and tor ture. Some seventy or more are .wound ed and many are doomed to death, be ing mutilated and hideously disfigured. Massacre Was Official. I visited nil parts of the town, tak ing evidence .from' both Jewish nnd Christian residents. The stories from the latter are even mote damning to the authorities. — The massacre was esHontlally offi cial. The police, military hooltgana-fM' 4 the "Black Hundred played subordl nate roles In every csss. At a period When a moss of butcheries occurred the police and soldiers * uh * r *5'L?*i y assisted or encouraged ths butcheries. There are many authenticated cases of soldiers themselves perpetratng slaughter. In the Boyare district- where the wont massacre* occurred, the soldiers of the Uglltiky, Blxty-Utlfd regiment, accompanied by two off|c«ib massacred seven Jews at Gehness saw mill. , Many Jsws Bscoms Insane. Full details of this trsgedy wers given nte by the surviving manager. When the soldiers wers rccupledwtth looting., their victims sought refuge In s small wooden house, on which, at ii o'clock on Friday evening, the aol- dlers fired suddenly. „n«ela1ly Many Jews of this district, especially girls, became Insane. to The officer ordered the Inmates to the house, and six were nacaeu «» pieces by sabers. One rerealned ln ^tns house, an old woman named Kautacn, 70 years of aie. and the gaftUmMM* the house and she perished In the ' Families Are w ,re in other ca*e* the soldiers merely onlooker*.

In many < whole families were exterminated. Are Beaten to Death. I visited a house In old Boyare occupied by Alnsteln, a respected teacher, who with his mother, daugh ter and two sona were done to death by hooligans under the command of a disguised police officer, whtlw j»olIdlers w ere present. At first ths soldiers Bred Into the house and the poficfmsn or dered the family to save themaelVea in ' 'Tllerft 5 after tying the father. son. mother and daughter together, they were beaten to death, this policeman In the meantime firing at random. In the fietda are pools of blood. Every where Innocent children stand srgum* beside these ghastly pools, talking about whom each belongs to. Tortured and Mutilated. Throughout the town for two days the massacres continued. Fiendish tor tures and mutilation of the corpses In variably followed the massacre with active or passive co-operation of the authorities. . „ Concerning the Vladimirsky and Ug* Ittsky regiments, Jew witnesses af firm that Colonel Bukovsky dlrsctly enocouraged the soldiers, crying: ■ Ubelte ihldoff ” That Is. "Kill the Jewa” Torture before death, repeatedly oc curred, and mutilation afterwards. In Nikolai street a woman had a crow bar thrust In her and then twisted. Bhe finally was hacked to pleceh with a hatchet and left to bleed to death. . Nailed to a Table. The hands of Boyar, a tailor, were nailed to a table while be was'clubped I saw in the POSTOFFICE ROBBED, MISTRESS ASSAULTED AND LOCKED IN VAULT Special to The Georgian. .Dallas, Oa., Juno 21.—The postofflee was robbed here today at about 11:48 o'clock by a man wearing a black mask. Mrs. Battle Golden, the postmlstrees, was knocked down by the robber, held In hie hand a large knife which he Inflicted a wound on her wrist and one on her forehead. from which he approached. The robbery was committed minutes. There la no clew exc mask nnd a description of tl The dogs failed to track the robber. Bloodhounds were placed on tl" ‘ “ and tho man la being pursued. Mrs. Golden was not dang, wounded. Jewish hospital had her leg sawed off while she was yet alive. Others were carved to death slowly. In ths yard of the Jewish hospital. Where eighty-six corpses were laid side by side, I saw thirty cases of mu tilation. In some, noses were cut off. In others the ears were cut off. In many cases nails were dslven Into the face or skull. One old man had his eyes torn out. I have established the fact that the massacre was planned days Ih advance. Slaughter Wall Planned. For Instance, when the Jewish depu tation on Tuesday asked a police of ficer named Sheremetleff for permis sion to lay a werath on the grave of a murdered police master named Der- gatchoff, Sheremetleff cynically an- awered, ’’You’ll get an answer on Thurstlny," which was the first day of the killing. Dergatchoff was a clever and 'hu mane man, boloved by Jews and Chris tians. Ills murder by the Jew-baiters gave his subordinates freedom to exe cute their plot The governor of Grodno province Is equally guilty. He arrived on Thurs day evening and stayed only two hours. He did nothing io‘stofi'the massacre, and worse violence followed his visit. Wars Not Dishonored. Tho appointment by the douma of .an Investigating committee enused a cei satlon of slaughter. The small pro. Iiortlon of wounded or killed shown the Impunity with which the murderers were allowed to finish their victims. Every ravaged house I visited shows that the raiders were left In posses sion for hours. A rtmarkablo feature of this massacre is the absence of out rages on the women, Though thirty were killed, there Is no authenticated case of outrage discoverable. Thle la explained because the hooligans and troops got their orders only to “kill." The precise number of deaths can not be learned. There are eighty-six dead now In the Jewish hospital and seven In the Christian hospital, but the cqrpses of those dragged from the train and killed were burled without being counted. • Children's Toys Smashtd. The material destruction Is enorm ous. ' The houses Into which ths mob broke wers literally destroyed. Even the wall paper was torn down. The riot ers stole everything portable; even the children’s toys were smashed. The heavy furniture and the unsmaahabte things were thrown out of the win dow!. The merchant's account books wers burned and only the bars walls were left. In a bakery, where the owner was killed, the mob soaked loaves of bread In a pool of blood, leaving behind an Ironical note. It le estimated that ths loss will amount to 2,000,000 roubles. Today the town Is qulst and It Is not expected that a renewal of the massa cre will occur, but there Is a panic among the Jews, who are migrating by the wholesale. A local committee of relief has been formed, and It Is hoped that New York, where there are thousands of formsr man from Bialystok, will help In the work of assistance which Is so urg ently needed. CZAR WONT PERMIT MINISTERS TO RESIGN By Private Leased Wire. Bt. Petersburg, June 21.—A dispatch from Warsaw says: "At Illasan the Bolkhofsky regiment mutinied on June 10. The men sur rounded the Officers* Club' and fired upon It. Several office* were killed. Panic prevails at Rlszarn. Ths Jews are fleeing.” Moat alarming reports are In circu lation about disaffection among the guards, Including the Bemnoffaky regi ment and the Hussars. The Kron stadt garrison and warships are being transferred elsewhere. The ministry of ths Interior Is said to have received disquieting news re garding the agrarian situation In the southern and central provinces. The ministers all wish to resign, but the emperor has not yet decided to let them go. The situation, therefore, re mains alarming. A telegram from a member of the douma Investigating matters at Bialystok says: •The massacre was pre-arranged. A mare handful belonging lo the " Black Hundred" did the wrecking, while the soldiers did the killing." M. Schepkln, also a member of the douma committee, reports: "We wished especially to bring home the responsibility to the government. If the massacre waa organised In Bt. Pe tersburg. But our conclusions are that It was not planned In Bt. Petersburg; neither do we find that Chief of Police Sberometleff of Bialystok. was a party to the plot. However, the responsibil ity of his subordinates, together with that of the rank and file of the police and some of the military officers who fondly imagined that the odtoua T sya- 5*||* r ram of von Plahve- and Trepoff- has GlfWKr, not #rd«L 1* clear! v Droved.” RACE RESULTS.

After having bean punctured by five bullets on two previous occasions, and after being ehot twice In the head Thursday morning shortly before 6 O’clock at the Central railway freight depot, at the foot of Alabama street, Abner D. McMillan, of No. Ml East Hunter street, a switchman of the Central, when asked how he felt, cool ly and slmlllngly remarked that he had a headache. The shots were fired by C. C. Daniels, njght watchman at ths depot. One of ths bullets struck McMillan In ths fore head, while the other cut a hols In ths back of the head. Both of the bullets appear to have glanced, and as a result made only flesh wounds. At ths time ot the shooting th> pistol waa held almost against McMillan’s head, and that he waa not Instantiy killed Is considered remarkable. Seixsd Smoking Pistol, At ths second shot, the nervy switch man caught hold of the pistol and pre vented Daniels from again firing, hold ing onto tho weapon with a vlce-llke grip until A. J. Barnwell, a telegraph operator, came to his rescue. T.im ;.l i. ■■ .11 r i k .Mi...IK r ■ 11... "I .1 I -k Ing remark, said to navo been made by McMillan to the switchman. It Is understood, however, there waa soma feeling betwoen ths men, os the result of court proceedings, In which both were Interested. Directly after the shooting Daniels went to the police station and surren dered. A short while later he was ar raigned before Justice of the Peace Landrum and woe bound over to the Hints courts on the charge of nssnult with Intent to murder. Ills bond was fixed at 1800. It Is thought tho bond will be made during the day. Daniels asserts that he acted purely [n self-dofense. He stated that Me- Mlllnn attacked him with an open knife tint! tried to cut hint, slashing Ills mat. Other wltnesHea, however, declared that tho switchman had no knife. Carssr Like a Kentuoklcn. McMillan works at night and had Just gone off duty at the time of the trouble. 'He says he passed Daniels on lbs depot platform, and laughingly made a Jesting remark. He said this angered the watchman, who promptly pulled hie pletol and began lo ehoot. Daniels says he never used his pistol until ha thought II necessary to defend his life. The shooting was Investigated by Policemen Hutchins and Uoroenoff. McMillan, who Is reputed to be de cidedly nervy, has had an extraordina ry experlenre with bullets. He enlist ed In tho army during the Spanish- American war and fought In the Phil ippines. It was there lie race Ins big first taste of lead, two Filipino bullets finding a resting ptara ■ lug anatomy. Some time ago, while passing Tongs street crossing, en route to hla home, he was attacked by two whits )nen and shot three Umes. Hs was In a bad condition for a time, but finally re covered. His narrow escape on Thursday morning did not seem to feast him In ths least. II# laughed and Joked about f ils thrilling experience and remarked n a Jesting tone: “It seems I am somewhat Ilka a cal. I haven't been shot the ninth tlma •yet.” GEORGIA EDUCATORS MEETIN CONVENTION AT CUMBERLAND IS, SEEKM LIFE Police Reserves Hard Put to Save Their Prisoner.
