Gorky's Rival in Russia.

The most striking literary expression, OF
the prevalent feeling in Russia toward the
present war has been Leonid Andreyev's
work entitled The Red Laughter" This
powerful presentation-it Is rather a tract
than a story-of the horrors of war has
spread throughout Europe the fame of a
man who is already known in his own
country as a genius scarcely inferior to
Chekhov and Gorky. Andreyev Is a typical
product OF the unsettled social conditions
OF the cars country. Born in 1871 in Oryol,
he studied law at tho universities OF st
Petersburg and Moscow, and was Rradu-
ated in 1897 Three years before his gradu-
alton he attempted suicide. During his
student days his efforts at story writing
were unsuccessful, and his literary career
did not begin until 1898, after he had made
a failure as a lawyer. His first story ap-
peared In Novikov's Courier. When his first
volume of short stories was published
Countess Tolstoy attacked the author in
a letter to the Hovoe Vremya. She eau
toned the reading public against Andre
yeYs works, denouncing them as poison
Gus and dangerous to society" Her words
attracted immediate attention to the book.
and edition after edition was exhausted
with unprecedented rapidity. Since that
time Andreyev has written a number OF
stories which, by the boldness and novelty
of the themes, and their artistic treatment.
have placed him in the front rank of Rus
sian short story writer's. In popularity hs

The headliner in police court Monday
morning was the cases OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Summers and Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Jennings, the quartet arrested Saturday
evening In a rooming house at Eighteenth
and Dodge streets. The young couples
were charged with being suspected per-
sons, the more specific complaint against
them, particularly the men, being black
mail.
1t is alleged Mrs. Inez Summers, pre-
possessing girl OF is winters and bride OF
a week, met a local attorney on the street
Saturday evening, took him to her room
and then, per previous arrangement, Mr.
Summers appeared on the scene In the role
Of injured husband and demanded hush
money from the attorney.
At the instigation Of the attorney the
quartet was arrested, but the complainant
did not appear in police court Monday
morning to prosecute, wishing to avoid the
publicity that such prosecution would
cause.
In the absence of prosecution City Prose-
cutor Lee could only charge the men with
vagrancy, which charges have been filed
against them in the police court. Sum

charge, pleaded not guilty and their hear
ihss were set for Tuesday morning.
