A clash took place today between the Jewish population of Targufromos and eighteen Cuzist students passing through the town on their way back from a victorious campaign in the District Roman with Professor Cuza, an anti-Semitic leader, who has just been elected to the Roumanian parliament.

The incident began with the mishandling of an aged Jew and this was followed by the breaking of windows in Jewish shops. The Jewish population offered resistance to the assault and a number of the Cuzist students were injured. The police prefect of Jassy has taken measures to reestablish order and has ordered an investigation of the trouble.
