There was some trouble between men
in the st, Petersburg metal works and
a guager, but II Is not true that the
men mauled him 10 death.
The fact is that he became frightened
and leaped from window OF fright.

further riots among the students, those
youths whose chief grievance appears
to be that they are not allowed to
paint the town red" without let or
hindrance. seem perfectly calmed by
the appointment of Gen. Van Novsky,
