(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
A report of anti-Jewish excesses in Clausenburg, Transylvania, was transmitted by the Hungarian Telegraphic Agency and published in the press here.
According to the report, 120 armed Roumanian students stormed a Jewish ball on Tuesday night at the Hotel New York. The ball was being given for the Jewish orphan asylum in Clausenburg. The guests were attacked by the invading students who grabbed the knives and forks from the tables and hurled them at the guests. Many of the guests were injured. The excesses continued until the early morning, when General Popp, with the aid of two detachments led by him personally, stopped the outrages. Several of the students were arrested.
