PROTEST BY POLES
Local Societies Condemn Pol
icy of Prussia.
SIGN STRONG RESOLUTIONS
Join In Widespread Movement to
Request Intervention by Powers
.lnst ex-Appropriation Bill
ow tmler Consideration.
At a mass meeting held in Davis'
hall in Lower Albina yesterday after
noon, attended by members of the
two Polish societies of Portland and
other cittaenp. conditions of the Pol
ish people living under the Prussian
government were discussed. J. C
CieBerskt was elected chairman, and
J. Kosrtolek. secretary of the local
Polish society, acted as clerk of the
meeting. The chairman announced
that the National Polish Alliance of
Otilrago had undertaken to relieva the
conditions of . their countrymen in
Prussia by an appeal to the Christian
nations of the world, and thus bring
influence and prwsurc to bear on the
Prussian government, lie said that an
expression had been asked from all
the Polish organizations, which in
cluded thu two Portland societies.
Resents Land Policy.
Mr. Gezerski said that the Prussian
government had adopted harsh meas
ures against the Polish people under
its dominion, and recently had set in
motion plans by which the lands on
which the Polish people lived were
to be bought and settled by Germans,
and that parliament bad appropriated
money for thi purpose. To prevent
this being carried out there was a
widespread movement.
The meeting adopted a long pre-
amble and resolutions setting forth the
grievances of the Polish people. The
resolutions which will be presented to
the Oregon delegation in Congress, were
as follows:
Resolved. That the representatives of the
Polish organizations, press, literary and edu
cational Institutions of the United States
nf North America, representing 3.000.000
Ameriran citizens of Polish birth or descent,
do hereby express our deepest indignation
at the Prussian government, whose treat
ment of the Pol we deem a dl?srace and
a stigma not only to the German nation but
also the whole civilized world.
Resolved. That we call the attentoio of
the American public and all civilized na
tions to the great danger to the existing
social order tn the Introduction by a great
Imperial power of measures attacking the
inviola-bility of private property.
Appeal Made to America.
Resolved. That we appeal to the nobl
American Nation, which has so hospitably
received us and which In all its history
never turned a deaf ear to the cry of the
wronged, and to all other nations of the
civilised world, to raise their powerful voice
of indignation at the unparalleled outrages
perpetrated by the Prussian government
upon the Polish people.
Resolved. That we most earnestly urg
citiiwns of all civilized nations, to whom
this protest is addressed, to u?e all the In
fluence In their power to dissuade the Ger
man people from the enactment of the pro
posed "Iandtag" legislation against the
Polish people.
Resolved. That in the "name of our
mothers, sisters and wives, who shudder
aghsst at the thought of the real tragedies
which must inevitably follow the forcible
eviction of Polish families from their an
cestraJ homes, we ask all the women of the
world who love their fireside to Join In our
appeal against this wanton disregard of the
most savred rights of mankind. I'nder the
German code, the destruction of bird nests
is prohibited. Are only the family nests
of the Poles to be the spoils of vindictive
.ness and violence?
Seek Aid of All Nations.
Resolved. That for the.e reasons, we cftl
ens of the United States, do hereby unani
mously, energetically and solemnly protest
before the forum of all cultured and liberty
loving nation of the world.
Resolved. That w e express our sense of
deepest gratitude to the representatives of
other nations, who by Indignantly protesting
against these proposed measures raised hign
the standard of justice.
Resolved. That to our brethren in Prussia
we send our deepest sympathy and express
our greatest admiration for their heroic en
durance In the- presence of unheard-of
calamities which had befallen them. We
invoke to their assistance the aid of divine
providence and" firmly believe that the in
born moral strength, energy and resistance
of the Poles will finally prevail over the
outrages and persecutions of the Prussian
government.
Resolved. Anally. That this protest be pub
lished in four languages and copies thereof
be sent to the President of the t'nlted States,
members of his Cabinet, members of Con
gress, representatives of foreign power,
newspapers, educational and scientific Insti
tutions of all civilized nations.
May this voice raised In behalf of the
oppressed and persecuted find an echo in
all noble hearts'
P. 8. Intelligence baa reached us that
the Russian government, following the ex
ample of Prussia, has closed 16M Polish
private schools, which were sustained by
voluntary subscriptions of the- Poles.

FAILS TO DEPOSIT BOND
St. John Gas Company May Iose Its
Franchise.
The J"O0O cash bond of the St. John
Gas. Light & Heating Company was not
deposited Saturday with the Recorder of
that place as had been agreed between
the company and the St. John Council.
It was the intention of the Council in
granting the franchise to S. V. Davidor,
president of the new gas company, to re
quire this cash, bond in lieu of a $10,000
bond, and the company had been granted
an extension of two months in which to
make the deposit. Meanwhile the com
pany has up a HO.flOO surety bond, which
was to be retired by the cash bond. "
H.' J. Meagher last Friday asked the
City Attorney to be released from his
part of the bond. Mr. Davidor says that
work on the plant will go forward as
soon as the material has arrived. The
whole matter will come before the Council
tomorrow night.
