DOG SAVES LIFESAVER
Holds Drowning Hero's Head Out of
Water Until Aid Comes

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 4.-Ernest Halt
gren, who has nearly a score of medals
for saving persons from drowning, was
saved himself from drowning yesterday
by a common "yaller" dog that has
been hanging around the Morris hotel.
Haltgren is an electrician employed at
the Third avenue bridge over the Har-
lem. Yesterday he fell from the bridge
with several heavy tools stuck in his
belt. The weight of these pulled him
down and he could do little to help HIM
self. Two of his fellow workmen saw his
predicament and plunged in after him.
Nike the dog, was much nearer where
Haltgren had sunk, and reached him
before the men did. The dog seized
Haltgren's coat collar in his teeth and
held his head out of the water Aided
by the dog, the two men finally got
Haltgren to a float, where he was re-
suscitated.

"On entering the straits, Admiral

Russian Reaetlonary Party Gains AS

Reign Of Terror for
Revolutlonlsts
BY Associated Press.


ST. PETERSBURG, June s. 2:1o a. m.
The Russian government has shown
that it has not weakened in this hour
of disaster.
Instead Of yielding to the stormy de-
mands which the Radicals hoped the
defeat of Admiral Rojestvensky would
force the government to grant, the em-
peror issued a ulkase Sunday comforting
greatly increased powers on Governor
General Trepoff, making him assistant
minister of the interior in place of
NAL Gen. Rydzefsky, who is made a
senator: also chief of the department of
police and commander of the corps of
the gendarmerie.
Gen. Trepoff is given the right by the
ukase to close all assemblies and con-
crosses, to suspend indefinitely all So
cieties, leagues and other bodies mani
Testing pernicious activity, and to take
all other steps necessary to preserve
order so as to prevent interfering with
the established regime and to suppress
the revolutionary propaganda.
Make Trepoff Dictator
This ukase which entrusts almost die
tatorial powers to the head Of the inn
perial police to control the agitation
now almost peremptorily demanding
constitution, representative govern
ment and the surrender of the vital
principles of the autocracy and to put
down the disorders with which the
revolutionists are threatening the
country, makes him responsible to the
emperor.
The document is of the deepest i'm
portance in the present state of Russia
and indicates that the government,
while steadily proceeding in its plans
for the fulfillment of the imperial prom
ises contained in the rescript of March
8, is determined not to be swerved from
it's purpose by the pressure of military
and naval disasters, but in it's own time
and as speedily as possible to give the
nation the legislative body on which
the Bouigan commission has been
working.
In 1t may perhaps also be read the in
timation that the war will continue and
that the question of peace will not be
submitted to a zemskysobor.
