"The government is living over a

DEATH FUCKERS PENALTY.
Found Guilty in First Degree Of Muir.
derinu Mabel PAGE.

=
Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 26.-Guilty Of
murder in the first degree was the ver-
dict returned against Charles l..
Tucker of Auburndale, who has been
on trial since Jan. 1 for stabbing Miss
Mabel Page to death in her fathers
home at Weston, March 81, 1904.
Death in the electric chair in the state
prison in Charlestown is the penalty.
The announcement of the finding OF
the jury was made at 10:SO o'clock
last night Tucker collapsed utterly
when the foreman read the verdict. He
was led from. the court room across
the street to the Jail In an exhausted
condition.
Mrs. Albert j. Tucker, the mother
of the prisoner was spared the anguish
OF listening to her sons fate from the
lips of Foreman Knight. At the sug-
gestion of one of the conselors for the
defense, she left the court room before
the Jury returned for the last time.
On learning the news she was over
whelrned
James H Vahey, the senior counsel
for the prisoner was greatly affected
and when he lefa the court room he
met Attorney General Herbert Parker
in the corridor The leading counsel
for the commonwealth showed the re-
suit of the strain to such degree that
he threw his arms around Mr.. Valleys S
neck and both men wept on each 9th
er's shoulders, the attorney general ex-
pressing in broken words his sympathy
for his brother attorney.
Philip Mansfield, associate counsel
for the youthful prisoner, became hys-
terical and fell into the arms Of re-
porter.
Before the case was given to the
jury yesterday Tucker availed himself
of the opportunity to address the jur-
ors and declared his innocence, saying
ne was at home when Miss Page met
her death. He said he foolishly broke
up the knife which figured so promi-
nently in tine case because officers
bounded him.
Miss Page, who was Al years of age,
was stabbed to death in her home.
Tucker was seen near the Page home
about the time of Miss Pages death
and was arrested and examined. He
explained his movements and was dis
charged, only to be rearrested an
formally charged with the murder.

BLIZZARD IN NEW YORK.
Metropolis Struggling With One o1
Fiercest Storms in Many Years.

New York, Jan. rs. - New York to-
day is struggling with storm whose
violence has not been equalled in many
winters. Beginning last evening with
a gentle fall of snow the elements
gathered strength until by noon today
only intense cold was lacking to make
1t a typical blizzard. The snow thick7
ened until vision was restricted to a
few yards and the wind increased In
velocity until 1t was blowing slightly
more than forty miles an hour AMI
driving the snow in binding sheets,
and the thermometer fell rapidly to II
degrees above zero, adding sharper
nip to the already binding gale. Traf-,
fic soon became demoralized. Surface
car lines made heroic attempts to
maintain service, but at best 1t was
slow and uncertain and the big rot
ary snow cleaners had hard task to
keep the tracks free from drifts. Ele-
waited roads ran on uncertain schedules
and at slow speeds, driving the crowds
into the subway, which was crowded
to it's capacity
1t was in the narrow and crowded
streets Of the lower city that condi-
tions were at their worst. Eddying
around the tail buildings the snow lad
en- gale was driven with increased force
into the canyon-like streets, binding
pedestrians and making street hauling
almost impossible. Horses were STALL
ed or down, and car lines made little
headway All the great traffic arteries
were almost still. Eight inches OF snow
had accumulated by noon, but high
wind drifted IT badly.
The heart of the storm seems to be

snow and high winds are reported UP

Andrew D. White, Former Ambassador
to Russia, Says Truth is Kept From
Weak Emperor.
Ithaca, N Y. Jan. 25.-Andrew d.
White, former ambassador to Russia,
and one of the best informed Ameri-
cans on Russian affairs yesterday
made the following statement In re-
gard to the situation in st. Petersburg:
"If the czar is a weak man, as the
present emperor is, he can do very lit
tie. A weak man cannot know any
thing about the empire to speak Of
because he is surrounded by grand
dukes. women, etc, who tell him what
they want him to believe and keep all
the truth away from him, which they
do not wish him to hear.
The main difficulty in the whole case
is that the emperor is supposed TO do
all the thinking for 14o,o00000 people
scattered over the largest territory pos
sessed by any government in the
world. with all sorts of different races.

this.

Speedy Peace Regarded as Certain IT
Movement In Russia Grows.
London, Jan. 25.--As the situation in
Russia grows worse European opinion
takes more hopeful view. The ex-
PLANTATION of this paradox is the belief
that the revolt has reached such pro-
portions as to compel the czar and
those who have been giving him coun-
sci to stop the war in order to paclfy
the country. 1t is argued that this re-
suit will be reached whatever turn the
insurrectionary movement takes.
Speedy peace is certain If the rebellion
by any chance succeeds.
On the other hand, if, as Is more
probable, a policy of ruthless suppress
sion produces apparent submission, no
sane government dare wage a war
while volcano is smoldering beneath
it.
The latest dispatches make it abund-
antly clear that the demand for re-
forms indicates a hatred of war we'll

urban population of Russia. 1t is
equally apparent that the resort to
butcheries will only drive the desper-

detestable. Public massacres will breed

diaries, against whom the czar, grand
dukes, and all other tyrants will be

in the London stock exchange and

caused By Sundays slaughter has
given place to optimism which will not
disappear unless general anarchy
should seize the empire. Russia sti!l
