RIOT IN RUSSIA

Fierce Mob is Charged by Mounted Po-

Want the Ward Ended.

st. Petersburg, Dec. ia popular
enforcement demonstration, the
participants of which included large
numbers of students of both sexes, be-
gan at midday in the Nevsky Prospect
and lasted about two hours.
Hundreds of police and mounted
gendarmes were hidden in the court
yard of the public buildings and
emerged suddenly and charged the
crowd at full gallop. driving the dem
constructors in headlong confusion and
screaming with terror upon sidewalks
and into adjacent streets. This led to
serious encounters, fifty persons being
more or less severely injured. Large
numbers were arrested.
Not since the riots of 1901, when Cos
sacks stretched across the Nevski
Prospect from building to building
charged down the boulevard from the
Moscow station to the Neva, has the
Russian capitol lived through such a
day of excitement as this.
The authorities last night got wind
of the big anti-government demonstra'
ton planned for to-day by the Social
Democratic Labor party to demand an
immediate end of the war and the con-
vocation of a national assembly, and
in leading every paper this morning
in black-faced type was an explicit
warning to the people at their peril to
desist from congregating in the Nevski

were made to quell any disturbance.

students seemed to swarm toward the

Batch to the Jailor.-Severe Pen
aIties for Election Frauds.
Denver. Dec. 11.-Four more men
were sentenced yesterday by the SUI
preme Court for contempt of its in
junction against election frauds, as
follows:
James p. Mullins, nine months in
jail, $500 and costs.
William Bergman, election judge, six
months, $500 and costs.
]. p. Kitson, election clerk, six
months. $500 and costs.
Patrick Reid, three months. no fine.
This makes sixteen election officials
which the court has convicted OF con-
tempt. There are three more on trial
and some twenty-five or thirty are
under bonds, but their trials have not
as yet been set.
came completely Frustrated when she
heard of her sons conviction, and is
now lying dangerously i'll at the Null
Inns home on Larimer street. Mrs.
Mullins is subject to heart attacks.
and when the news was conveyed to
her yesterday she became very Ill.
Her condition grew rapidly worse, and
about 3 O'Clock Judge John /. Mullins
of the District Court and brother of
James p. Mullins. appeared at the
office of the clerk of the Supreme
Court and asked for short confer
ence with the judges.
He told the court that it was most
vital to his mothers life that the sem
tence of the court be stayed for
short period until she should become
more reconciled to the matter. The
court accordingly entered an order
granting Mullins parole over Sunday.
In pronouncing sentence on the pris-
oners the chief justice said:
1.-The testimony in this case clearly
establishes that a great amount of re-
peating was INDUCED in in precinct six
of the Fifth ward at the last election.
The lowest estimate of the number OF
votes cast of this character is seventy
one and the highest eighty-three. Or
the number of persons thus voting, the
testimony establishes that one voted
as many as eight times, others voted
two, five and six times. The expert
called on behalf of the respondents
testifies that one person voted as
many as five times.
This could not have occurred with
out your knowledge, especially when
your attention was called to 1t at va
rious times. Youp did nothing to pre-
won't 1t on the contrary you knowingly
permitted these frauds to be practiced.
The respondents, Mullins and Reid
are certainly responsible for these
frauds. You were there the greater
portion of the day. BY your conduct
you encouraged and protected many
of these persons in the commission
of these frauds. That fact is espec
tally true with respect to the respond
ent Mullins. In addition we find from
the testimony that the respondent
Mullins elected the watcher Hanson.
The court therefore adjudges you all
guilty of contempt as charged in the
information"
Following the sentencing of the men
their attorney, John G. Taylor, gave
notice to the court that he would ap-
peal to the United States Supreme
Court on writ of error.
