DEMOCRATS NOMINATE' BRYAN TONGHT n U i 5 TABRIZ Crazed Inhabitants, Starv ing to Death, Start Riot for Bread and Are Slain by the Cossacks ODESSA, July S. Several hundred more people won killed today at Ta briz in a massacre more terrible than that by tin shah's Cossacks July 1. Today's slaughter was the more terri ble because it was started by the crazed inhabitants of tin city, who are starv ing to death For several weeks before the city surrendered the food situation was desperate. After the Cossacks took possession of Tabriz the people who escaped death were refused food by the soldiers and became desperate. Ear ly todsiy a bre:.d riot was started by crazed men and women who had been without food for five days. A line wfiH startrd in the poorere section of tbo city and the hungry mob marched straight for that portion of the city occupied by the shah's troops. This was the signal for an additional slaughter by the Cossacks. Fighting broke nut in several streets. In most cases the women find children of Tabriz simply knelt before the brutal soldiers and begged to be put out of their mis ery. The fighting was desultory on the pjiirt of the. hunger-evrazed people of the fallen city and before noon it had been converted into a slaughter. The Cossacks are apparently their own masters.
