GERMANS APPEAL FOR
PROTECTION FROM ANARCHISTS

st Petersburg, Dec. 1.-THE gov
ernment is sending several columns or
troops to the Baltic provinces OF Es-
thonia and Courland and to Riga. In
response to appeals from the German
embassy demanding the protection of
German subjects the government has
replied that ample troops are now on
the way to insure protection OF all
foreigners.
August Won Hennings, prominent
member of the Baltic nobility and as
sistant chief of his district, was atroc-
iously murdered at his residence near
Riga by revolutionary band. Two
dragons who were detailed to guard
the residence also were killed. A SER
want who walked sixty miles to catch
train brought the details of the hor-
rible event to st. Petersburg Accord
ing to the servant, the revOlutionaries
demanded that Won Hennings give up
his sword. On being told that as an
officer he could not surrender with
honor, the revolutionaries shot him.
Subsequently his head was hacked of
and his body cut to pieces and fed to
the dogs.

President Of PrOvident Sav-
ings Appeals 10 Hughes.
DECLARES EQUITABLE is
TRYING TO Be REVENGED
Makes Earnest Request That Mat
ter Of Equitable's Claim Be
Excluded From Hearing

New York, Dec. 14.--During the in
surance investigation today Edward
w. Scott, president of the Provident
Savings Life Assurance society, made
an earnest appeal to Chairman w. A,
Armstrong, of the investigating COM
mittee to exclude from the hearing
certain statements bearing on his re-
lations with the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society of which he was former
ly Australian agent.
Charles Il. Hughes, counsel of the
investigating committee, had asked
Mr.. Scott whether the Equitable Life
Assurance society had not claim of
100000 against him. Mr. Scott at
first declared that there was no such
claim against him, and then Mr..
Hughes presented letters that passed
between Mr.. Scott and President AL
eXander on that subject in 1901, in
which President Alexander asked Mr..
Scott to make a formal admission in
writing that his accounts with the So
ciety, showing balances of $57,933 due
to the society, were accurate. In one
letter President Alexander wrote that
Mr.. Scott had accepted the accounts.
Mr.. Scott's letters to President Alex
ander proposed conference, but
made no admissions as to the accept
ance of the accounts.
Scott Makes Earnest Appeal.
When these letters had been read
President Scott. made an earnest plea
to the committee to rule that this sub
ject was foreign to the investigation.
He declared that he had been pursued
by enemies for several years; that in
1900 he caused the arrest and indict-
nient of a man who had engaged with
the Equitable Life Assurance society
to deliver to II records stolen from the
Provident Savings Life Assurance So
ciety. that a traitorous hook-keeper
who was in league with this man was
dismissed from the Provident society's
employ and that it was I'm connection
with these matters that his (Mr.
Scott's) relations with the Equitable
were reported to the committee and In
a spirit Of revenge.
Though Mr.. Hughes did not uncov-
er just what the Euitable society's
claim against Mr., Scott was based on,
he brought out from him the state
ment that the Equitable society had
made such a claim upon him and that
Mr. Scott refused to settle IL.
Another incident in the testimony
of Mr.. Scott was his statement that
when he bought control of the ProW-
dent Savings Life Assurance societys
stock, he used $4,000 which had
been lent by that company to two of
its agents in order to enable them to
buy 100 shares of its stock. They did
not buy the stock and Mr. Scott said
he took over the loan and delivered to
the society a promise to turn over to
II 100 shares of its stock when he got
the stock. 1t is now held by trust
company to whom he still owes $780,
600, which he borrowed to buy It,

THINKS ONE
CANAL WON'T
Be ENOUGH
Senator Morgan Says It Viii
Be insufficient.
SENATE TALKS FOUR HOURS
ON THE EMERGENCY BILL
General Disposition to Dig Up Enough
Coin to Keep Big Ditch
Moving,

Washington, Dec 1.-THE senate
spent four hours today In discussing
the Panama canal emergency appro-
priation bill, and when 1t adjourned
the bill was still under consideration.
There were set speeches by Messrs.
Teller Scott and Morgan, and they
were followed by a general debate in
which all phases of the controversy
were exploited, including the question
of salaries, control of the Panama
railroad and the necessity for general
legislation on the canal subject.
Mr.. Allison, chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations, expressed
the opinion that congress should take
up the question of salaries in connec-
ton with canal legislation. He also
said that the status of the Panama
railroad should be made the subject
of legislation.
Messrs. Teller Scott and Morgan
expressed dissatisfaction with the con-
ditions in Panama, but all indicated a
determination to support the supply
measures necessary to secure the COM
pletion Of the canal as at present un-
dertaken. Mr.. Teller advocated a
sea-level canal; Mr.. Scott spoke In
support of the San Bias route as
preferable to all others, and Mr..
Morgan expressed the opinion that
before the Panama canal is completed
another canal will be necessary to do
the business required.
A separate bin regulating the issu-
ance of bonds for the canal and plac-
ing them on the same basis as other
government bonds, was passed without
debate.
During the day Mr.. Elkins made a
statement from the committee on in
terstate commerce expressing the
opinion that the committee would pre-
sent a report within a reasonable time.

to the ways and means committee. and
In its defense, Mr.. Hayne, chairman,
made the argument that the onlv way
