Russian Governor Lies In g

THE ASSASSIN FIRED THREE TINES
Youthful One Armed Terrorist, hlatti Hjalnar Reinikke, Self Con- fessed Revolutionist, Was
 Captured by Police.


 yIBORG, European Russia March 21.--Goverlrur Miasoredoff was shot and seriously wounded here by a lad named Matti Hjalmar Reinikke, self confessed anarchist. The assassin, who is about fifteen years old, obtain. ed an entrance to the governors office and fired three times at him, one bull let inficting a serious wound and the others slightly wounding the govern or's legs.
 The governors clerks and secretary were unable to stop the would be. as- sassin, who reached the street, where, however, he was arrested without a struggle. The governors condition is critical.
 The youth who shot the governor ad- mitted to the police that he is a revo- lutionist. He halls from Kurikke par ish, in the northwestern part of Fin land, but recently has lived in Stock holm to avoid arrest on account of his known revolutionary ideas. He re- turned four days ago to Finland by way of Tornea and spent three days in Viborg, but declines to reveal his stopping place. Governor Miasoredoff has been most energetic in the Russi- fication of Finland and memorials have been sent to the estates petition ing for his removal on account of his alleged illegal methods and the general conditions in his province. which were pronounced to be intOlerable.
 At 8 o'clock in the afternoon Rein ikke gained access to the governors cabinet and fired shot from the threshold. Then. advancing, he fired twice more, after which, jumping be- hind and under the governors writ ing table, with his pistol he held up the clerks who were rushing in and finally managed to reach the street. Secretary Markoff, who followed him, summoned assistance. and the would be assassin was captured.
 Reinikke, who had lost one of his arms recently in a railway accident, when asked if his name was Reinikke replied, ",rhe police of Helsingfors know me, my motive and the govern OTIS record"
 The crime was committed with an automatic pistol of the same type as the one with which Hohenthal as- sassinated Soisalon Soininen. the pro- curator general of Finland, on Feb. G.
