Anti Jewish outrages raise nationwide inaction and fear
A large rally in Baltimore on May 18 protests anti Jewish violence in Russia. Speakers include former officials and journalists. Reports describe atrocities seen by a woman with a nursing baby and cite censorship by czarist agents. Authorities in Kishinev suppress news while urging Jews to leave. In St Petersburg, a circular bans Jews from defending themselves and emigration to America is pushed. In Croatia, forty peasants are said shot amid unrest, with news being tightly controlled.
