TRIES TO TYPICAL SCENE IN BRITAIN IN CONNECTION WITH SUF FRAGETTE DISTURBANCES. NVOLVE ANOTHER "Ritual Murder" Trial at Kiev Takes Turn of Plot and Counterplot. DETECTIVE IS ACCUSED TESS Employer of Prisoner Says Younj Jew Was at Work on Day He Is Accused of Crime Brother Also on Stand. KIEV. Russia. Oct. 15. The exam ination of witnesses was continued to day In the trial of Mendel Beiliss, ac cused of having committed "ritual mur der." Detective Pollstchuk, who was prominent in the early investigation into the murder of the boy. Andrew Tushinsky, virtually charged Krassov sky. the former head of the Kiev de tective service, with poisoning Eugene Tcheberiak and his little sister, alen tine, who, it was alleged, had seen Bel liss dragging off Tushinsky. He said he believed that both died from eating cakes which had been given to them by Krassovsky. v -'i r, tnRnentnr of police. AiaDDumnji " ' ' " ' - was engaged in the case, and in a re port drawn up months ago gave it as his opinion that the killing had been done by a band of criminals, the head of which was Vera Tcheberiak, mother of the two children, Eugene and Valen tine. Court Adjourns for Cigarette. Part of Polistchuk's testimony was directed against a previous witness named Shneerson, with the apparent object of implicating Shneerson in the murder. His evidence included stories of Jews of princely blood residing In the lodginss of Beiliss and similar In cidents. During his examination the court adjourned 20 minutes to' allow him to KO outside to smoke a cigarette, which he said would relievo the illness from which he was suffering. Shneerson. a Jewish hay dealer, who served in the Japanese war, was exam ined. He is a young man of good ap pearance and testified without hesita tion, in striking contrast to Pollstchuk. He lived near the brick works where Belliss was employed and was in the habit of taking his meals with the prisoner. He declared that he had not seen Tushinsky around the brick "works. The first knowledge he had of the murder was from the newspapers. Belliss Owns No Cows. Questioned regarding testimony given by Vera Tcheberiak's daughter, Ludmilla, that the children went to Beiliss' house to get milk, he replied that It was not true, as Beiliss had no cows in 1911. the year of the murder. A brother of BeiliBS declared that Belliss had sold his cows before 1911 in order to pay his debts. M. Zalteff, president of the brick works where Beiliss was employed, testified that the profits from the busi ness. In accordance with his grand father's will, were devoted to the up keep of a Jewish surgical hospital. Eudovlc Nakonetchny flatly contra dicted Ludmilla Tcheberiak's story that she had seen Beiliss kidnapping . Tu shinsky. M. Zalteff explained an In cident related In the indictment that "two strangely clad Jews had been seen about the works on the day of the murder" by Identifying them as two of his relatives on a visit. The man ager of the brick works testified that Belliss was engaged in his regular em ployment on the day of the murder, which was not a holiday. PACKER URGES VEAL FAST Save Calves and Cut Duty on Beef to lower Prices, Says Armour. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 15. Curtailment of the high price of meat is up to the public, according to Charles W. Ar mour, president of the Missouri cor poration of Armour & Co., packers, who issued a statement on the sub ject today. Mr. Armour says if the consumers will discontinue eating veal for two years until the supply of cattle In this country is brought back to Its normal condition, the bottom will drop out of prices. Mr. Armour believes the new tariff, admitting beef free, may bring some relief from high prices if the supply In South America is maintained. "But with South America now sup plying Europe with beef." said Mr. Armour, "if a heavy drain from this country should fall on our Southern neighbors, the supply would be de pleted there as It is in this country. In that case, of course, the priceB could not drop." FELIX DIAZ IN DANGER Cuban Government Discovers Plot to Assassinate General. HAVANA, Oct 15.
