THE PREFECT OF POLICE IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MOS
COW DISASTER.
He REFUSED Offers OF TROOPS
To Control the Crowd-Some of the
More Fortunate Victims Were
Drowned in Watts of Beer-Other
Interesting Foreign Items.

Moscow, June 4.-Eye witnesses to the
terrible crush on the plain last Saturday
agree that NJ. Vlasvoski, project of the
police, is chiefly to blame for the disas-
ter. He refused military offers of
troops to control the crowd, declaring
that he knew his own business and that
there was no need of any fear of an ac-
cdent. Popular feeling against him is
intense and his name has become curse
among the populace, who, armed with
bottles and stones, would have lynched
him the same day upon arriving at the
plain if he had not had his route lined
around with troops and himself strong
ly escorted. 1t appears that during the
crush number of Cossacks. finding
themselves surrounded, freely used their
whips upon the crowd in order to force
their way out. Three were torn from
their saddles and killed. Two gendarmes
were also killed and this led to the flight
of the others.
A number of moujiks were drowned in
the watts of beer provided for the feast,
in which they plunged in order to save
themselves.

From the New York World
The young man had his best girl with
him and he wanted to tell her about it.
Besides he was not interested in the sub
ject which the lecturer was discussing,
THE American Indians Use of Gourds.'
The girl was pretty and to whisper into
her little pink ear was a pleasure that few
young men would have resisted. The lee
turer was annoyed. Finally he said, i'm
pressively: Il will pause until the young
man in the back part Of the house stops
talking" Then he stopped. For perhaps
thirty seconds, though it seemed two min
utes. the lecturer said not word, and the
young man continued to tell the girl all
about the subject on which he had started.
Auditors turned around and stared at him,
snd he was the center of interest. For a
time he was oblivious Of the attention that
he was attracting. and then he noticed that
the lecturer was silent and that all eyes
were directed on him. Then he realized
what the lecturer had said about pausing

There Is another class of swimmers who
do not care to brave the dangers of losing
suit of clothes and possibly being arrest
ed They scorn q bathirS suit. and hence
have no use whatever for the bathing
beach. They glory in a swim unrestrained
by swimming tights. Their time comes
when the sunset gun announces to the cit
liens of Washington that Old Sol has dis

Is then that the law allows bathing from
the docks without bathing suits, and any
warm evening a pesser-by along the
wharves may see a group OF anxious
youngsters. almost entirely disrobed, wait
ing fer the boom of the big gun at the
arsenal What a race there Is then to see
which one will be the first overheard. And
the echo of the sunset gun has hardly ceas-
ed to reverberate among tho hills Of old
Virginia before the water Is literally alive
with the swimmers. who extract the pleas
ures of outdoor nfe as only q small boy
can. One after another, like so many gi-
gantic frogs they spring from old piles,
the yard arms of vessels, distances that
would make a man dizzy, wholly uncon-
scious of the danger they are running. The
exlIberance of youth Is upon them, and as
they shoot through the air their voices
sound high and shrill above everything
else. The highest diver Ii the greatest
hero; the longest swimmer the envy Of the
gang.

Paddle Dave Cotter." The sound of the
paddle will be heard as of yore. but the
familiar voice of Paddle Dave is silent. He
is no longer of the beach. and his absence
Is marked. The boys have not allowed his
absence to trouble them, however. and they
are having all the fun possible. Out in front
of the beach the gymnastic stand has been
overhauled. and already the athletes are
trying new tricks, with which to startle
their friends when the day comes for the
grand aquatic exhibition. This year Supt.
Stevens proposes to Guido all previous eff
forts. and the annual exhibition will be on
a larger scale than ever before attempted.
The New Bathing Beach.
Next year the beach will be abandoned.
and the swimmers will move a short dis

Superintendent Stevens plan to throw a
masonry bridge across the eastern end Of
the pool and construct flood gates. This
bridge will be large enough to permit car
riages to drive across. and the drive will
continue around the pool. The water will
be drawn off every day or two, and when
the tide rises fresh water will be admitted.
Before anything is done the pool will be

Safety of the Bathing Beach.
And, last Of all, there Is that class that
prefer the safety which the bathing beach
offers. When Superintendent Stevens
throws open the gates and announces that
the beach is ready for use, there is a
scramble for suits. There Is no need of
announcing formal opening of the beach.
All that Is necessary for him to do is to
tell one of the boys who frequent the beach
that next Saturday the beach would be
opened, and he has a crowded house when

All classes visit the beach. OF course the
great ma jority of the visitors are boys, yet
there is goo1ly sprinkling of men and wo-
men. The latter. however, do not make
tied and the water is real warm. Up to the
present time thousands have awaited them
selves of the opportunity. and the record
thus far exceeds the best yet made by the
beach. There have been some improve
Tents during the past year. A number of
new bath houses have been erected and
there has been a freshening of things by
the use of paint and whitewash.
