pOOR RUSSiAN NOBLES

The Russian nobility isn't as rich as the United States nobility. The Khar- koff branch of the Banque de la Mo- blesse. a financial institution originally created by Alexander III. for the re- demption of the impoverished Russian nobility, foreclosed the other day on sixty-three estates which had been hopelessly mortgaged by their aristo- cratic proprietors. At all the other pro- it's headquarters in the capital, these periodical foreclosures are every half year becoming more common. It is now proposed, as a last means of saliva ton, to apportion large grants of land 12. GOO acres being the minimum-in Si- beria to the more destitute class of mo- bles whose properties have passed un- der the auctioneer's hammer It is ofti- cially suggested that these land grants take the form of free leases for ninety nine years. There is said to be much opuosition to this scheme on the part of the peasantry and other small hold CTS, whose representative elders charge the nobility with having regarded agri- culture simply as contributor to their own prodigality. The hundreds of thou sands of peasants now emigrating to the Siberias demur, naturally, to the prospect of being subject In their new northern settlements to the same treat ment and policy under which they have groaned in European Russia. With comparatively few exceptions the Rus sian nobles have proved their utter in- capacity for the lucrative development of great landed estates. The imposi- tion upon Siberian colonists of the bur den of a bankrupt and profligate no bility could scarcely, it is urged, be ex- pected to impart the needed impetus to the development of the country.

A WASHINGTON DETECTIVE RETURNS
FROM ENGLAND WITH COUNTER
FELT TICKET PLATES.

Detective Sergeant Samuel L. Browne, of the
District of Columbia police force. arrived yester-
day on the steamer iceland of the Red Star
Line, bringing with him a set of counterfeit
plates which he had found in England, having
made special trip abroad for that purpose.
For several years the officials of the Washing

tickets for rides their surface roads We're
being counterfeited. but they were unable to
catch the counterfeiters. The tickets are issued
by the company in strips of six each, good for
that number of rides. and sold for % cents.
The Washington police have been working on
the case. and they recently obtained evidence
that Frederick d. H Ingley, conductor on the
Connecticut-ave line, selling the counter
feits He arrested. Later his brother, Sam
uel E. Ingley arrested in Maryland as an
accomplice. The latter was found to be the
counterfeter. He disposed of the bogus tickets
through his conductor brother. With him were
taken 81, ,260 strips ready for use. The men con-
since 1899, and that they had disposed of more
than $4,000 strips of six tickets each.
1t was due to their method of working that
they were not discovered before. The tickets
were printed in Glasgow, Scotland. Samuel would
go to that city whenever new supply was
needed have them run off from the plates that
were kept there ship them to Birmingham.
