TREASON.
Evidence to Fact Found
Everywhere in Russia.
Cemeteries Invaded by Officials
in Their Search.
Families Of Soldiers Enduring Much
Suffering.

st. Petersburg. April 7.-1235 p. NJ
The efforts Of the police to smother the
political agitation have led them to
even invade the cemeteries in their
search for evidence Of treason. 1t has
become the practice Of students to place
on the graves Of comrades who were
active or who suffered in the cause Of
freedom wreaths bound with ribbons on
which political sentiments are inscrib-
ed. The police now make nocturnal Wis
its to the cemeteries in search OF these
reasonable notices which are prompt
ly confiscated. But being ignorant the
policemen make curious mistakes. The
other day harmless inscription in
Greek simply expressive OF sympathy
was seized and on Wednesday a red
ribbon attached to a wreath although
upon the grave of a well known official
being interpreted by The police as a re-
evolutionary emblem was not only cut
off but created SO much alarm that a
general order was sent out to all ven
doris of mortuary wreaths prohibiting
the sale of red ribbons.
The stories of sufferings on the part
Of the widows. wives and families Of
soldiers at the front are attracting gen.
eral attention and the puhiic's govern
ment aid for the sufferers. The local
charities are no longer able to cope
with the situation. In many places the
funds raised for this purpose are en-
tirely exhausted and the provincial pa
pers are filled with pathetic accounts of
starving mothers and children begging
in the streets. At Nishni NOvgorod the
palace of the governor was besieged by
a crowd of hungry women with babes
in their arms asking for bread. The
governor Informed the women that he
would appoint commission to investi-
gate the situation. His reply aroused
the fire Of the local press. The Viedo-
mOsti said:
Always the eternal commission!
while it is investigating the women and
children will starve."
