MOBS KILL
EIGHTY JEWS
MEN, WOMEN
AND
CHILDREN
FALL VICTIMS TO BLOOD-
THIRSTY RIOTERS.
Shops and Houses Are Looted and
Semites Massacred While Pro-
tecting Their Homes.

Vienna, Sept. 11.--Another massa-
cre of Jews has taken place in Kish-
ineff.
Armed gangs yesterday at-
tacked the ghetto there as they did in
1906. Eight Jews were killed and
many more wounded. As usual, the
police made no attempt to stop the
slaughter or to save the property of
the Semites.
The shops and houses
of the Jews were looted by the
bloodthirsty rioters, and many of the
victims were killed or wounded while
defending their homes against in-
vation.
The outbreak of anti-Semitism has
been
brewing
for
several
days.
Aroused to fury by ringleaders, the
rioters gathered into armed gangs
yesterday and started their attack on
the Jewish quarter.
The stores of
the Jews were first pillaged and their
owners struck down whenever they
resisted. When they learned that
there would be no interference by the
authorities, the rioters abandoned
themselves to indiscriminate assaults.
The Jews barricaded themselves
and their families in their homes and
fought back the rioters as long as
they were able, but in many in-
stanes they were overpowered and
paid the penalty for their resistance
with their lives.
Women and children were attacked
unmercifully
and
many outrages
against young girls were committed.
Appeals for protection from the Jews
were unheeded by the authorities un-
til nightfall, when patrols were tard-
ily stationed in the streets of the
Jewish quarter
Many Jews fled from the city and
sought to cross the border into Rou-
mania, but they were stopped there
by the Roumanian guards, who
would not permit them to enter the
country. The Jews are in a state of
panic and more bloodshed is feared.
