MOSLEM FESTIVAL
EFFORTS TO AVOID TROUBLE [BY CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —OOPYEIGHT.] / ’■< ■ (Recfl. March 27 10 a.m.). CALCUTTA, April 2G. Bengal, in common with the rest of the provinces in India, is uneasy regarding the outcome of the Mohammedan festival, Bakrin, on Wednesday next. Appeals are being made by public men and responsible journals to Mohammedans to celebrate the day by the slaughter of goats to avoid the sacrifice of cows which are sacred to Hindus. The latter are also exhorted to refrain from playing provocative music in the neighbourhood of the mosques while the occupants are engaged in prayers. The lesson of the recent savagery at Cawnpore shows how suddenly these troubles develop,, making the authorities’ task of keeping order most difficult, with limited police. The most dangerous centres seem to he in -the United Provinces.
