st. Petersburg. Oct. 21.-The strike
of railroad employees assumed Sc
rious aspect today when with the
three great trunk lines out of Moscow
completely tied up and the other Mos
COW roads embarrassed, trains were
stopped on the branch road from
Nizhini. The Pan-Russian Union Rail-
way employees have issued q call for
a general strike on all the railroads
of Russia. The extent to which the
call will be obeyed remains to be seen,
as the union is of recent origin and
its strength an unknown quantity, but
up to midnight no additional strikes
have been reported. A meeting of
st. Petersburg railroad men was still
i'm session at a late hour tonight and
had not yet reached decision to
strike.
The demands of the men arc
purely political and therefore it is ex-
pected the strike will last only long
enough to serve the @urpose of a DEM
onstration. Socialist leaders claim it
is intended only to show their strength
and is a curtain raiser to a thorough
and complete tie up of the Russian
railroad system in January as an OBJ
ject lesson to the government.

QUOTING TEDDY TO FREE THEM.
Lawyer for Haas and pccllham Makes
Motion TO Discharge the Men.
eBy The Associated Press.


New York. Oct 21--President
Roosevelts letter of acceptance of the
nomination for President a year ago
or more was quoted by a lawyer to-
day in defense of Moses Haas and
Frederick II. Pecllhaln, who recently
were indicted by the Federal grand
jury in Washington on a charge oI
conSpiring with Edwin $. Holmes, Jr..
to defraud the government by secur
ing advance information of the gov
ernment'S cotton report. The portion
of the Presidents letter quoted was
that there is no common law of the
United States that can give jurisdic-
ton of an offense in a Federal Court. -
The indictment had alleged that
Holmes was guilty of misconduct in
entering into the conspiracy. The de-
fcnSc declared that no such offense
as misconduct could be found in any
act of Congress. which alone could
give jurisdiction of an offense to a
Federal Court. but the prosecution
contended that it was an offense
against the common law of the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t was to contro-
vert this assertion that the Presf-
lawyer for the defense. 1t was also
contended by the latter that the gov
ernment was not actually defrauded
and that If the alleged conspirators
secured anv money it was from spec
ulators.

charge Haas and Peckham from GUS

A BODY EXHUMEO
Police at Work On Perk-
ins Poisoning Case.
The Body Of The Infant Who Died a
Month Ago is to be Examined
for Traces Of Pois.
Especial to News and observer.)


Richmond, Va, Oct 21.-Develop-
ments this afternoon in the Perkins
poisoning mystery indicate more
clearly the theory upon which the
police are working.
AS the result of a long conference
between Coroner William II. Taylor
and Commonwealth Attorney ID. {.
Richardson, the body of the Perkins
infant, who died just one month ago
today, was exhumed this afternoon.
Coroner Taylor will begin at once a
search for traces of poison. The stom-
ach and intestines will be subjected
to the usual chemical tests made by
genealogical experts in such cases.
The jury Of inquest which was con-
vened last Tuesday and adjourned SUBJ
ject to the call of the coroner, will be
summoned probably Monday morning.
a list of witnesses to be called is
now being prepared, and it is prob
able that Miss Abbe Mitchell, whose
initials were signed to the threaten
ing letters received by Mrs. Perkins
previous to the death of the second
child believed to have been poisoned
viii be summoned. The parents of the
dead child are, convinced that Miss
Mitchell did not write the letters and
that her initials were used by the
anonymous writer for the purpose of
throwing suspicion upon her.
IF it were not for the annoyance it
is giving my relatives and friends |
could laugh at the ridiculous charge
Mrs. Perkins is making against me,
said Mrs. Max Bryant today. "There
Is not a jot of truth in the wild stories
Mrs. Perkins is circulating about me
In this neighborhood. She is accus-
ing me of murder. She says I am the
person who gave poison to her child.
If the stories told by Mrs Perkins
reached only those people who knew
me any my family | could laugh at
them, but it is almost beyond endur-
ance TO know that others who hear the
false accusation may believe it,"
Mrs. Perkins said today that she
would have sworn out warrant for
the arrest of Mrs. Bryant several days
ago, but for the interference of the
detectives. The police pleaded with
her to wait, and in Difference to their
wishes. though much against her Will,
she still delayed. She felt that Mrs.
Bryant should be taken into custody at
once. Edward Perkins, the father,
expressed himself as sharing the belief
of his wife, but he said he would wait
Il few days longer for the police to act.
Mrs. Bryant denies that she is the
author of the anonymous letters
signed a. NJ, received by Mrs. Perkins.
Mrs. Perkins believes the letters were
written by another person at the in
stigation of Mrs. Bryant.
