Mrs. Thorleen is a Woodworking
woman, very quiet and unassuming.
She is a woman who believes in mind

everyone else to do likewise. The in
suit she received from A. ]. Page, q
prominent white citizen of Spokane,
is unheard of in this community.
With tears streaming down her face
and her body convulsed with sobs,
she related the story of the abuse
she was subjected to. Mrs. Thorleen

Her assailant, A. J. Page. is a

knew nothing Of it's whereabouts. The

president of the Illinois Federation
of Labor, who predicted the disinte-

There is nothing to fear for or

Neither the citizens alliance or

Gomphers. however. admitted that

SITUATION VERY DELICATE
INTERIOR MINISTER MIRSKY OF
RUSSIA FACING A Diff
CULT PROBLEM.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 25.-Interio1
Minister SviatopolkMirsky has gone
to Tsarskoe Selo to present the zemst-
vos memorial to Emperor Nicholas
The situation is extremely delicate
Two incidents have occurred, both of
which much initiate against the Lib
erals and increase the difficulty OF
Prince Sviatopolk-Mirskys position.
Prince Mestchersky, editor of the
Grashdanin, who is head of the reac-
tionary press, Thursday unmasked his
batteries, attacking the interior minis
ter in such a fashion for his liberal
tendencies that Prince Sviatopolk-
Mirsky for the first time since he as
sumed the ministry ordered the confis-
cation of the issue. In the strength
of the influence behind such an attack
lies the real significance of Prince
Mestchersky's act. At the same time
from the opposite direction the Nasha
Ziesn (Our Life), new radical paper,
authorized by Minister Sviatopolk-
Mirsky, INDUCES in a direct attack
on the emperor with the result that
the minister ordered the suspension
of the publication. The action of this
paper is considered to be very unfor-
tunate as it places powerful weapon
in the hands of Prince Syiatopolk-Mir-
sky's enemies. Many of the minister's
friends are inclined now to believe
that the zemstvoists went too far and
have jeopardized the position of their
best friends.
Prince Ouhtomsky, editor of the Vie
domosti, said:
"The duties of all friends of Lib
eral regime is to uphold and sustain
Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky in every pos
sible way. His retirement would be
great misfortune"
