CARS OFFICIALS WARNED
Threats to Assassinate the Minis

Students Reported To Have Sent

Vladimir Takes steps to ,'onciIi-
ate the Revolutionary Element.
BERLIN. March 29-The crisis in
Russia, according to fragmentary ad-
vices received from various news CEN
tres. continues to be acute, and violent
developments are likely TO occur at any
time
According to information received
here from reliable sources, the Russian
students secret organization has ccm-
nUnicated warnings to the Russian
Minister of War and the Russian Min
lister Of the Interior, declaring that they
are to be assassinated by the students
society.
Dispatches from St Petersburg say
that similar warnings were communi-

the former and the attempt to take the
life Of the latter.
The Russian Minister of the Interior
has forbidden the newspapers of the
empire to mention the court proceedings
arising out of the student outbreak, and
it Is understood that the press is COM
pIetely muzzled so far as the revOIu-
tiOnary troubles are concerned.
The only effort thus far to conciliate
those whose acts are likely to result in
a revolution in the Cars domain has
been made by the uncle Of Emperor
! Nicholas, the Grand Duke Vladimir.
He is organizing a mediation committee
to enquire into the grievances of the
students and try and induce them to
discontinue their revolt against the
Government.
\ despatch from London says that
the Odessa correspondent Of the
Graphic, remarkfng that the facts
were suppressed in the official accounts
OF the recent rioting, asserts that
/ eighteen students, including three girls,
/ were killed in Kharkoff and five in ST
Petersburg
It is said that these casualties have

BOXING MAY BE LOCALIZED.
AssembIyman Lewis Not Opposed to
Contests Among Amateurs


Contests Among Amateurs
ALBANY, March 29.-It Is quite possible
that amateur boxing will be IegaIized in
New York State next winter. Profession
al fighters viii still be law-breakers If
they box. but amateurs will be allowed
TO fight as hard as ever.
II looks as though, the Brooks bill per
hitting four Marquis OF Queensberry
rounds by amateurs at public boxing ex-
hfbitions might become a law Assembly
man Lewis, who was the author Of the
Lewis bill which nullifed the Horton law
last year, says that with the amendments
placed in the bill by the Codes Committee
OF the Assembly he has no particular
objection 10 its going through
These amendments make II impossible
for 4 professional boxer in any way to
take part in an exhibition given by an
amateur athletic association. 1t was
contended when the Brooks bill was first
introduced that possibly attempt
might be made to put on at least one pro-
fessiOnaI bout At every exhibition The
amendment disposed OF this fear Men
about the Capitol lobby, however, still
think that If the bill becomes a law it
will be the opening wedge TO professional
contests.
