The fact is being demonstrated
most every day that the ranks OF
the pioneers are rapidly thinning
out. Like the old soldiers, one by
one, they are passing to the be-
yond. In the case of the plo-
neres, the following generations
can keep up the organizations
and revere their predecessors who
braved the hardships of the early
days. But with the old soldier
there is no one to take his place,
and yet the sons of veterans can
and will keep up the organlza-
tons to their memory.

FEAR AT ST. PETERSBURG
Rumors of an Impending Popular Out
break Cause CONSERVATION

ST. PETERSBURG, April ga feeling
akin to CONSERVATION has been caused by
the publication in this mornings papers Of
renewed rumors of an impending popular
outbreak. 1t is feared that the slightest
incident accidental malevolent among
the vast congregations which will attend
the churches on Saturday night may cause
panic with appalling consequences. The
mayor is being urged to convene the NUM-
cipal council and take special measures to
cope with the situation, and it is expected
that the project of police will issue a reas-
surfing proclamation, but the alarm is so
great that 1t would have little effect The
exodus at Easter will be unprecedented
All the accommodation at neighboring re-
sorts has already been engaged.
Reports from the provinces indicate SINH
lar fears.
There is a somewhat widespread impress
sion that the police are melting the masses
against the intellectual classes.
Governor General Trepoff, when seen to-
day by representative of the Associated
Press, declared emphatically that there was
absolutely no occasion for a panic. The
tales of massacres and disorders and the
organization of mobs to beat the intellect
uals and plumber and burn the city, he
said ARE pure inventions spread by agi-
tators and other evil-minded persons for
the express purpose of creating panic
will publish in the newspapers tomorrow
statement which will reassure the people
and quiet their minds. There Is no danger.
Public security is not threatened There
will not be any rioting Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday or any other day during Easter,
and nothing will happen on May day. You
can announce this on my authority. l
