An anti-Semitic and anti-conscription demonstration in the Jewish section of this city was prevented when the anti-conscription anti Jewish students were informed that hundreds of young Jews were massed in front of the Y.M.H.A. headquarters waiting to give them a “warm reception.”

Three of the eight anti-Semitic students who participated in the anti-conscription riots last month culminating in anti-Jewish demonstrations and the smashing of windows in Jewish stores, were acquitted as a result of lack of evidence against them. A fourth, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to pay the court costs. The trial of the remaining four is still to take place.
