HAD PLANNED TO STEAL ROCKEFELLER.
Pat Grove Says lie Would Have Kidnapped
This Old Man.

Butte, Mont. (SpeciaD.-Pat Grove,
who is still in jail awaiting the arrival
of officers from Omaha, is putting i'll his
time confeSsing to escapades of his lite.
He gives off new one each day. He
told about a plan he had formed soon
after the Cudahy kidnapping to steal
John d. Rockefeller and get two-mil-
lion dollar ransom from young Rookie
Teller. The plan was formed while he
was hiding in Chicago after the Cudahy
affair at Omaha He took in a partner,
and they went to Cleveland to study the
situation, and concluded that it would
be dead easy" to steal "old man Rock
efeler" from Forest Hill
1t was planned to hold up the watch
man, gag him and then enter the house,
The time was fixed, but his partner
weakened at the last moment and the ad-
venture was put off for another day, but
in the end the partner quit altogether.
Grove then feared that his partner
might peach on him and he fled to New
York, and from there went to South
Africa, where he joined the Bocr Army.

Moscow, (By Cablc) The number of
strikers here was increased by the bakers
oining their ranks. Bread is still pro-
durable at double price. No newspapers
are printed here, and even St Petersburg
papers are scarce, the striking printers
having waylaid the supplies and torn
them to pieces
Sunday the crowds on the lverskoy
Street Boulevard assumed threatening
proportions. The police and military,
horse and foot, with CosSacks. were
fully prepared A pitched battle took
place. The troops, who fired three vol
leys pointblank at the people, were met
by the crowd with stones and revolvers.
1t is impossible to estimate the casual
ties, as, according to custom, mmedi-
ately the mob was dispersed the streets
were cordoned and the dead and wound
ed removed into yards, the gates OF
which were closed.
1t is feared that the workInen to the
number OF 10000 employed in the great
factories may join the demonstration.
The popuace is exasperated to the last
degree, less by the open street fighting
than by the action of the police against
all and sundry after the disturbance had
been qucllsd.
This was a repetition of what hap
pened earlier in the year. The project
has issued a proclamation which pleaSes
the police and troops in an absolute pos
session of more rights than a civilized
army would employ against an enemy in
time of war. In virtue of the proclama-
ton, the police seize any person they
please Any prctext is sufficient tor an
arrest.
After the fighting was over boys and
youths, men and women were dragged
into the projects courtyard, the gates OF
which were then closed. Thereupon began
what is known as giving lesson to the
"intelectuals" Scores were taken to
long table, along the sides Of which
were drawn up two lines OF picked
troops, mostly Cossacks. The victims
were made to run the gauntlet. There
were 50 men on each side, who brusally
struck them with whips and the butt
ends OF rifles.
The victims OF this ferocious brutality
are forced to run the gauntlet until hey
drop iainting or dead. They are then
picked up and removed to prison, the
inGrmary or mortuary. The unfortunate
creatures are then taken straight from
the street tts<hs peculiar Russian form
of execution, without the possibility of
offering any defense or hearing what ac-
cusatOn is made against them.
1t is stated that a bomb that was
thrown at the game market killed IL
Cossack patrols. 1t is impossible to CON
firm the report, but it is certain that
number OF riderless Cossack horses re-
turned to the barracks after the collision
with the mob.

Montpelier has chosen fifteen able
men to have charge Of the centennial
celebration Of the selection of that city
as the capital Of the state, men who
have long been associated with the pro-
gressive interests of the place. Through
their efforts we confidently expect to
see a celebration which is worthy of the
occasion that calls it forth. The plans
are as yet in an imperfect state, but
it is certain that no pains will be
spared to make the affair notable. The
city council having appropriated q sum
Of money, although the sum may seem
inadequate, there is basis on which
