to President Roosevelt to give ME a house

she took her baby on her knee and babe
the other six children sit down in a group
about her and be quiet. They did so,
and Mrs. Walker resumed.
Yes, m the woman who was up be-
fore Judge Tierney, of the Bronx Court
to show cause why / should not be put
out of this fat because l have so many
children. The Judge took sides with me,
and said that the landlord, George
Schrank had no right to take me into
court to answer TO such a charge, and
told me not to pay the landloard for this
months rent although l was willing to
pay him for two months.
las it is, i am Obliged TO move out of
here on the first of the month, although
1 have paid all rent and am willing to
pay whenever it is due or even before 1t

boat would not be valuable unless it at
tanned a speed of at least twelve knots
but that a speed of fifteen or sixteen
knots would make it one of the best tor
pedo boats in the world.
Mr.. Burger then associated himself in
friendly way with a naval constructor
who prepared the first plans for the sub
surface boat, using steam power for pro-
pulsion The United States naval board
of construction reported on these plans
that in their opinion the use of steam was
inadvisable and found objections to the
speed of the boat design. which model
experiments in the government tank
showed would only be about twelve knots.
Mr.. Burger then employed Clinton H.
Crane, who prepared plans and specifica-
tons for fifteen knot sub-surface tor
pedo boat of about ninety feet water line,
which plans were submitted to the naval
board of construction and after formal
hearing by them were reported feasible
This report of the board of navai con-
struction was presented to the senate
committee on naval affairs at the hearing
held by it on the sub-surface boat, and
as a result of this hearing congress made
an appropriation in the naval bill of
$500, 600 for sub-surface and submarine tor
pedo boats to be selected by the navy de-
partment.
Mr.. Burger not only invented the sub
surface torpedo boat, but, as a patent
lawyer, received the patents for il. He
also formed and financed the company to

CORRUPTION IN RUSSIA.

Some idea of the corruption which pre-
walls in different branches Of the Russian
| administration is afforded by the case of
Lieut-Col Sharon, until lately chief of
the police at Kronstadt, who has just
been convicted of bribery, forgery and
other oKenses, almost equally serious,
and has been sentenced to deprivation Of
rank. expulsion from the army. and two
years military punishment. Shafroff. for
some time an officer in the guards, enter
ed the police service in Moscow in 1887.
He soon resigned. apparently at the re-
quest of his chief, who is said TO have
described him as utterly untrustworthy.
None the less he succeeded in obtaining
position in the st. Petersburg police SER
vice in 1892, but soon had to resign in con-
sequence of the charges of eXtortion
which were apparently proved against
him. Even this did not put an end to his
career, for in April. 1886, he was appoint
ed TO the responsible post o. chief of the
police at Kronstadt. His conduct soon
reused suspicion and it was not long be-
fore an investigation. which came to
nothing. was ordered by the ministry Of
the interior. In December. 1899. however.
appeared on the scene and instituted a
rigorous inquiry. In consequence Of the
discoveries he made he requested the COM
mander of the port TO relieve Col. Shafroff
of his functions and thus render q trial
possible Admiral Makaroff, instead OF
complying with this request. appointed a
commission TO investigate the charges

prosecutor then appealed to the senate
