MANY WILD REPORTS.
Doubts Cast on Veracity of Certain
Correspondents.

London, Jan. 25-No reports of alleged oc-
currences In Russia apear too wild or extrava-
CANT to find place in some European journals
The freedom accorded to foreign correspondents
telegraphing from Russia is the subject of re-
mark In "The Daily Chronicle" this morning
as showing that Emperor Nicholas has at least
one redeeming FEATURE capacity for keeping
his word. "The Chronicle" then refers to the
promise of the Emperor to The Associated Press
TO complete the removal of the censorship on
news kilograms
An instance of wild statements is in "ThA
Daily Mails" st. Petersburg dispatches. which
describe a veritable battle between strikers and
troops near Kolpino and a wholesale slaughter
of strikers. THE Daily Expresses" ST. Peters
burg correspondent reports similar scenes of
massacre at Radam and describes General
Kuropatkins army ready to revolt.
There are conflicting reports about Maxim
Gorky. The Standards" St. Petersburg CORE
spondent says the novelist narrowly escaped
capture. but The Daily Telegraphs" corre-
spondent, who was himself arrested but subse-
qUently released says that Gorky was among
those arrested whose only crime consisted in
having been members of delegation that visited
NJ. de Witte, President of the Council OF the
Empire. after vain attempt to see Minister of
the Interior Sviatopolk- Mrsky They are ALL
the correspondent adds now interned in a secret
section of the SITS. Peter and Paul Fortress. The
correspondent says:
They guilty of no illegal act, except being
present at a meeting exceeding FIVE persons.
Not one of them would have anything TO do with
secret committees or underground agitation.
They. i'll my presence, refused to listen TO the
suggestion that a permanent committee should
be formed TO direct revolutionary movement.
a young woman who had been collecting money
for hungry workmen was arrested yesterday.
THE Daily Telegraph's" correspondent adds:
am enabled to state emphatically that neither
De Witte nor Sviatopolk-Mirsky had any hand
or part in the deeds of the last three days, which
they both sincerely dsplOre blunders and
crime
The Daily Chronicles correspondent at ST.
Petersburg also states that the Minister Of
Finance. Nj. Muravieff appealed to the Emperor
not to appoint General Trepoff to the governor
generalship of the city and government of St.
Petersburg or to declare the citv in q state of

Commissioner Biddle Would Not
Change Name.


81 am of the opinion that the proposed
bill restricting future buildings on 16th
street to residences, hotels Or apartments
should not be weighted with clause pro-
yiding for a change in the name of the
street" said Commissioner Biddle yester-
day, as he finished reading another list of
letters from prominent citizens, received in
reply to the circular letter issued week
ago by the Commissioners. in which the
act which Congress will be asked to pass
was outlined. There Is sure to be con-
troyersy concerning the name of the street
or any change to that effect" continued
the Commissioner. "and the objections to
any name finally proposed would delay the
whole bill II the name clause is permitted
to become a part of the one measure look
ing toward improvement of property condf-
tions along the thoroughfare. ! am in
favor of separate bills. both for the reason
that the name of the street, If undesirable.

this is the year when all conditions are
seemingly ripe to provide for the future of

Commissioners concerning the proposal to
urge upon Congress the passage of a bill

introduced early in the next session. and

Commissioner West has directed Assessor
Darneille and Auditor Garrison to prepare
the data which the Commissioners always
take into consideration in beginning the

desk next Monday, and 1t is Commissioner
Vests purpose to ask for the immediate
consideration of the estimates in order that
the work may be concluded promptly.
Il is expected that consideration of the
estimates win begin Tuesday morning, and
AZ least week viii elapse before they are

A Plea for Closed Cars.
o tue Editor Of The Star:

To tue Editor OF The Star:
1t does seem as IL was time for the street
car companies TO put on closed cars per-
manently. 1t is not every one who can
stand the awful draught OF swiftly moving
cars even in hot weather and they are the
cause of more summer colds than anything
else. In fact, closed cars can be made com
Portable in hot weather. and believe four
fifths of the patrons would prefer them the
year round. Shiyering in open cars and
standing on the seats In rainy weather is
not comfortable. TO say the least. and there
is no use torturing people In such manner.
When two cars are used one should always
be closed. and when but one Is used il
should be a combination car Trying to
