PLAM SLAUGHTER OF JEWS THROUGH RUSSIA BERLIN, .Inly 20. A general slaugh ter of .Jews throughout all Russia has been planned by M. Kushevan, the fa mous anti-semitie leader, according to information received here today. Rushevan is said to have organized the horrible Kishineff program of 1!M)3, which was the worst massacre in the history of the attacks on the Jews in Russia! The statement made here says that Rushevan 's now plan contemplates sim ultaneous attacks on the .lews in prac tically every city in Russia where they reside in great numbers. It is hinted that the massacres are ar ranged to begiu on the Jewish New Year, early in October. The pint is the most daring and astounding ever con ceived by the anti semitics, who are, however, believed to be pledged to the extermination of all Jews. Profiting by former experiences, it is reported that the Jews are accumu lating arms, and instead of a one-sided massacre, this time it will he u man-to-man encounter in every case, if the in formation proves correct.

Grants Pass Man Slated to Succeed Willson--'-Golden Drilt Dam Blamed Word from Grants Pass states that Master Fish Warden U. t McAllister will appoint Edward Clautou of Grants Pass as deputy fish warden of southern Oregon lo succeed John D. Wilson of A'oncalla, who, it is rumored, is slated for removal October 1. Fear is express ed in Medford that a Grunts Pass man will be a poor wardeu because of friend- j liuess to his neighbors and Iriends. who are the chief violators of fishing lows, aud the real cause of the present Bear-! ity of fish in the Kogue. The Kogue river and its tributaries need a man who can devote all of his time to it. At present there is a deputy une warden at a salary of $00 a mouth, who is also a water bailiff. When Mr. McAllister was in Medford recent ly he promised local fishermen that by ombiuiiig with the game wardou, a sal ary of $So a mouth could bo paid. He recently notified the game wardeu that nly $00 would be paid, and unless u higher salary is paid no one worth while is likelv lo accept the job. Now that the courts have brought li. I). Hume to time, the fish warden has money enough from Hume's $500 fine :iud cannery license to justify some of the money being spent here. -. The Gulden Drift dam and the failure to enforce tin law is blamed by anglers for the present shortage of fish. Fish ermeu are allowed to fish below the dam aud no attempt is made to enforce the law, and on account of the influ ence of the Fishermen 's union at Grants Pass renders a conviction next to im possible.
