Frustrated

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Edward M.
Harlan, one of the wealthiest pawn
brokers in the city, has pleaded guilty
TO an indictment charging him with
being a receiver of stolen goods. He
was remanded to prison to await

that some person had offered to pay
two city detectives $4,000 each and
another man $4,000, if they would ar
range evidence which would have
shifted the case toward an innocent
person, an ignorant foreigner having

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 16.-The
employees of the Putiloff works ap-

of resuming their tasks demanded as
a condition of going to work the re-
lease of their comrades who are under
arrest. Similar action was taken by
the men of the Neva works. Upon
other grounds the workmen again went
out at the Franco Russian works, the
Russo american Rubber works, the

How TO Find Out

IF there is any doubt in your mind as to your
condition, take from your urine on rising about
four ounces, place it in glass or bottle and let
1t stand twenty-four hours. If on examination
1t is milky or cloudy, If there is a brick-dust
settling, or If small particles float about in it,
your kidneys are in need of immediate atten-
ton.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used
in the leading hospitals, recommended by ply
sicians in their private practice, and is taken
by doctors themselves who have kidney all
ments, because they recognize in it the great
est and most successful remedy for kidney,
liver and bladder troubles.

STRIKES RENEWED
GOPONS LIEUTENANTS MAY
BE AT WORK
Witte Still in Office, but a Campaign
Is Waeed Against Him and
Changes Are In the
Air
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1.-THE
editor of Russian Wealth, M. Amen
sky, who was arrested simultaneously
with Maxim Gorky, the author and
reform leader, was released yesterday.
Upon his appearance before a scien-
tific society last night he was received
with great enthusiasm.
Membership in secret organization
formed in 1903 to incite strikes and
promote revolution is one of the
charges brought against him, and this
also involves Maxim Gorky and the
other members of the delegation who
were arrested with Gorky and Amen
sky.
Has Served Five Terms Already
M. Annensky, whose five terms in
the fortress under arrest have made
the interior of the fortress of st. Peter
and st. Paul thoroughly familiar TO
him, told the Associated Press yester-
day that he had also been required to
plead to Nhe charge of formulating
anti-governmental proclamations, the
penalty for which offense is sslnish-
ment for life to Siberia, but that no
proof was offered of either charge.
M. Annensky said the prosecutor
showed him the draft of an address to
the people, alleged to be in the hand
writing of Maxim Gorky, and altera-
tions in another hand, alleged to be
Annenskys. Annensky declared that
he could not identify the document or
the hand writing.
Only four of the original delegation
remain in custody. One of these is
the workman, KUHN, who for a long
time escaped arrest because his iden-
tity could not be ascertained by the
police. The authorities continue, how
ever, to make occasional arrests of
others in connection with this matter.
Those who have been released are still
under charges.
Campaign Against Witte
The report of NJ. Whites resignation
from the presidency of the council of
ministers is still in circulation but can
not be confirmed. M. Witte was busy
last evening on routine work with the
director of the tax department as if no
change were certain. 1t is well known,
however, that a campaign is being
waged against him by men of influence
hiS will haonr1a
dominant in the present crisis. 1t Is
claimed that his voice will be for
peace.
1t is also admitted that M. Witte
has incurred enmity on account of his
intervention in favor of some of the
liberals who have been arrested. M.
Witte is steering a cautious course in
order to avoid entanglements. I'm
doubtedly he will be the man of the
hour If sweeping reforms must be
granted.
Many Changes Rumored
Many rumors are current of minis
terial and military changes including
a report that War Minister Sakharoff
may be sent to relieve General Kuro-
patkin, and also one to the effect that
M. Bouligan, minister of the interior,
is not in sympathy with the situation
and may retire in favor of General Tre-
poff, governor general of St Peters
burg. The successor of M. Muravieff,
former minister of justice. appointed
ambassador to Rome, has not yet been
appointed. Almost anything is likely
