The Atlanta Georgian. ATLANTA 1910 VOL. 1. NO. 49. doming Edition. ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 22 1906. Morning Edition. ■poTpTji In Atlnntn TWO Oat* rl\d.KjJbZ On Trulo* KIVB C«otC Robert Crozier Long, Commissioned by the Hearst News Service, Makes a Searching Investigation at Bialystok and Lays the Blame- for Outrage Where it Belongs. Wert Is a story—graphic and hideous—of the massacre of Jews, men women and children, at Bialystok. Russia, told by Robert Crosier Long, a winter of note, who was commissioned by the Hearst News Service, of New York, to go from St. Petersburg, where he had been watching events In the national capital of the esar-s empire during the. meeting of the douma, to' the riot-ridden toijn and tell what he saw and learned. He was not permitted to send hi* account from Bialystok, and had to go to Warsaw’, Poland, to put It on the wires. He declares the massacre was essentially official; 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 mad* evident by Investigation* such as Mr. Long made. Many Jew* 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, Is again disaffected. Cronetadt 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- ineff. Such Is the Indisputable conclu sion regarding the Bialystok massacre of the Jews. In unbridled, elemental human passions, Klshlneft la equaled by Bialystok, but for far-sighted plot ting and for cold-blooded atrocity In execution Bialystok Is Incomparably the worst “pogrom” (anti-Jewish 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 spending last night and the day In the ravaged city. The pogrom ceased flnal- lv with the Cossack slaughter of a Jew who wan trying to reclaim his stolen goods, but hundred* 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 dlsflgufed. Massacre Was Offiolal. I visited all part* of the town, tak ing evidence from both Jewish and Christian residents. The stories from the latter are even more damning to the authorities. The nmssacre was essentially offi cial. The police, military hooligans and the "Black Hundred" played subordi nate rolee In every caae. At a period when a maaa of butcheries occurred the police and soldiers either actively asslated or encouraged the butcheries. There are many authenticated cases of soldiers themselves perpetrating slaughter. In the BOyare district, where the worst massacres occurred, the soldiers of the Uglltxky, Sixty-third regiment, accompanied by two officer*, massacred aeven Jew* at Oehnesa aaw mill. -» Many Jaws Become Insane. Full detail* .of thla tragedy were given me by the surviving manager. When the aoldlere were occupled wlth looting, their victims sought refuge In a small wooden houae. on which,^ at e o'clock on Friday evening, the aol- dl Matw Jcws < of*thlii district, especially ,!

Fiendish tor tures and mutilation of the corpse* In variably followed the massacre with active or passive co-operation of the authorities. „ , . ... Concerning the Vladimirsky and Ug- llteky regiments, Jew witnesses af firm that Colonel Bukovsky directly cnocouraged the soldier*, crying: “libelt* zhldoff.” That 1s. “Kill the Jews" Torture before death repeatedly oc curred, and mutilation afterward*. In Nikolai street a woman had a crow bar thrust In her end then twisted. She finally was hacked to piece* with a llatchet and left to bleed to death. Nailed to a Table. The hands of Boyar, a tailor, were nailed to a table while he was clubbed to death. A little girl whose body I saw In the Jewish, hospital had her leg sawed off ' while she was yet alive. Otheri Were ' carved to death slowly. In the 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 ofT. In many coses nails were driven Into the face or skull. One old man had hla eyes torn out. I have established the fact that the massacre was planned days In advance. Slaughter Well Planned. For Instance, when the Jewish depu tation on Tuesday asked a police of ficer named Bheremetleff for permis sion to lay a werzthon the grave of a murdered police master named Der- gntchotr, Bheremetleff cynically an swered. "You’ll get an answer on Thursday," which eras tha first day of the Wiling. Dergatchoff was a clover and hu mane man, beloved by Jaws and Chris tians. His murder by the Jew-baiters gave his subordinates freedom to exp- cute their plot The governor of Grodno province Is equally guilty. lie arrived on Thurs day evening and stayed only two hours. 11a did nothing to stop the massacre, and worse violent i* followed Iris \lsil. Were Not Dishonored. *. Tho appointment by the douma of an Investigating committee caused a ces sation of slaughter. Tho small pro portion of. wounded or killed shows tho Impunity with which the murderers were allowed to finish their victims. Every ravaged houso I visited • shows that the ruldeib ware 'left In posses sion for hours. A remarkable feature of this massacre Is tha absence of out rages on the women. Though thirty were killed, .there la no authenticated cose of outrage discoverable. This. Is 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 Jswlsh hospital and seven In the Christian hospital, but the rpsr* of those dragged from the train id killed were 'burled without being counted. Children's Toys 8mashad. The material destruction Is enorm ous. The houses Into which the mob broke were literally destroyed. Even the wall' paper waa torn down. The riot, era stole everything portable; even the children’s toys wars smashed. The heavy furniture and the unsmsshable things were thrown out of the win dows. The merchant’s account books were burned "and only the bare walla Nvere left. In a baker)-, where the owner was killed, thejnob soaked loaves of bread In a pool of blood, leaving behind an Ironical note. It Is estimated that the loss will amount to 2,000,000 roubles. Today the town Is quiet and It Is not expected that a renewal of the massa cre will occur, but there Is a panic among (he Jews, who are migrating by the wholesale. A local committee of relief has bean formed, and It la hoped that New York, where there are thousands of former men from Bialystok. will help In the work of assistance which Is so urg ently needed. CZAn WONT PERMIT MINISTERS TO RESIGN By Private Leased Wire. Bt. Petersburg, June 21.—A dispatch from Warsaw says: 'At Rlaxan the Bolkhofaky regiment mutinied on Juh* 10. The men sur rounded the Officers’ Club and fired upon It. Several officers were killed. Panic prevail* at Rlazarn. Tha Jews are fleeing.” Most alarming reports are In clrcu lotion about disaffection among the guards. Including the Bemnoffsky regi ment and the Hussars. The Kron stadt garrison and warship* ars being transferred elsewhere. •, The ministry of the 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 th* emperor has not yet decided to Jot them go. The situation, therefore, re mains alarming. A telegram from a member of the douma Investigating matters at Bialystok says: "Th* massacre was pre-arranged. A mere handful belonging to the "Black Hundred" did the wrecking, while the soldiers did the killing." U, Schepkln. also' a member of th* douma committee, reports: , "W* wished especially te bring horte th* responsibility to the government. If the massacre was organized. In St. Pe tersburg. But our conclusions are that it waa not planned In Bt. Petersburg: neither do we find that Chief ef Police Bheremetleff of Bialystok. was a party to the plot. However, the rcsponalMI- tty of hla subordinates, together with that of. the rank and file of the police and some of the military officers who fondly Imagined that lbs odious^ sys tem of von Plehv* and Trspoft has not ended.

At the second shot, tho 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, n telegraph operator, came to hla rescue. The shooting directly followed a Jok- Ipg remark, said to have been made by McMillan to the switchman. It la understood, however, there waa some feeling between the men, aa 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 th* Peace Landrum and waa bound over to th* state courts on tha charge of assault with Intent to murder. Hla bond waa fixed at *500.
