PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 29.-It was
announced today by friends of both
persons that Lawrence Phipps will re-
marry his former wife, Genevieve
Chandler Phipps. within the next six
weeks. They were divorced only a few
months ago.
The reconciliation and remsrriage
now arranged for have been brought
about by Henry Phipps, an uncle of
the younger millionaire, who insisted
on it for the sake of the children.
Orders have been given here for the
refurnishing of the $2,OOO,OO0 Phipps
home in Fifth avenue, and word comes
from Denver that arrangements have
been made to have the ceremony per-
formed outside of Colorado, since, ac-
cording to the state law, they cannot
remarry there within a year after be-
ing divorced.
Mr., Phipps is now in Europe, and
the wedding is to take place as soon
as he returns, according to the report.
One of the conditions under which
Mrs. Phipps has consented to remar-
riage to Phipps is that he will pay
all bills which she incurred in making
ready to fight his divorce action last
summer. This, it is said, viii include
$4,000 which she is alleged to have
borrowed from Hart Mckee.

BY Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-The Warsaw
correspondent of the Daily Mail tele-
graphs as follows:
"A group of hussars ran down British
Vice Consul Muoukain Saturday night
on Marshalkovski street. Two hussars
rushed at him With their swords, in
f1icting severe cuts across his face and
lower lip. Dripping with blood,
Muoukain was conveyed to the hospi-
tai, where he is now doing well.
British Consul General Murray had
a narrow escape from being similarly
run down. 1t appears that the incl
dents were due to a company of hus-
sars getting drunk and running
amuck"
The same correspondent describes
Warsaw as being in. a state of COM
plete anarchy. Many have been killed
or wounded in charges by the troops
and the recklessness of swashbuckling
hussars," he says.
Describing the pillaging of stores,
the correspondent says:
MANY mark chalk crosses on their
doors or place lighted ikons in their
windows, and thus their safety is Sc
cured. The rioters paused before the
sacred emblems. The hoarse murmurs
of the mob drowned the church bells.
In several cases soldiers fired on loot

shot, hoping to dispense the crowd.
intermittent firing was proceeding
there all day. Hundreds of shops were

the country districts. 1t is rumored

Fog dense enough to bedim the arc

fog began shortly after O'Clock, ana
half an hour later it was impossible to
distinguish objects more than a few
feet distant, even under the electric arc
lights. So heavy was it that it con-
densed on everything in the shape of a
light rain. This made work for the
street car men more than usually
hazardous, as in addition to being able
to see only "A short distance ahead of
them it was almost impossible for mo-
tormen to bring their cars to sudden
stop.
1t is an ill fog that blows no one any
good, however, for the highwaymen
were in their glory, and by midnight
the report of the usual holdup had
come into the police station.
The fog and the thoughtlessness of a
motorman on a University car caused
an accident at Twenty-third and Es-

which resulted fortunately for the
twelve passengers.

Russians had been compelled to retire
from Sandepas on account of their in
ability to carry redoubt.
1t is also significant that dispatches
from Russian correspondents at the
front have again suddenly ceased,
which is regarded as an indication of
the failure Of the operation and
strengthens the first impression, that
it was a demonstration undertaken to
distract the people at home from the
present situation.

Grand Duke Sends Daily Orders to
Cars Place of Concealment

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 80. 1926 a.
m.-Evidenoe is accommodating that En-
peror Nicholas throughout the present
crisis has acted largely upon the adj
vice of Grand Duke Sergius, who is
the most reactionary member of the
! imperial family, the head of what is
denominated the war party and whom
the Liberals stigmatize as Russia s
evi; genius.
With the first appearance of Father
Gopon in the movement Sergius urged
the necessity of putting down the
demonstrations in the most energetic
manner.
Since Sunday last his hand is consid-
cred to have been visible in the APP
pointment of Gen. Trepoff to the gov
ernor generalship of st. Petersburg
with the exceptional powers conferred
upon him.
Sergius in Power
Grand Duke Sergius is known to be
responsible for the charges placarded
by Deputy Chief of Police Roudnefr
of Moscow which is causing Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff embarrassment,
and now, it is believed, he is about to
prevail in the matter of naming as
Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky's successor
in the ministry of the interior M.
Bouilgan. former governor general of
Moscow, who, like his patron. is an
extreme reactionary.
The Associated Press is informed
from high source that Grand Duke
Sergius, more than NJ. Witte. is re-
sponsible for the elimination from the
imperial manifesto of Minister Svia-
topolk- -Mirsky's plan for an elected

Singing Evangelist" Fred Butler led
off with one of his solos, which have
been designated sermons in song"
When he began the hymn the full
tones of the basso swelled forth full
and clear, but by the time the last
verse had been sung the chorus had
died down until it was little more than
an echo. Every man in the room was
silent before him until after the last

platform began the first verse, those
in the balcony were asked to take up
the refrain, and before he took his seat
again nearly 1000 voices had been
brought into line.
j. Wilbur Chapman began his appeal
when the singers had finished.
81 would be afraid to attempt to call
men together for any other object than
this if 1 expected to get such an audi
ence, as it would be impossible" said
DR.. Chapman in beginning his sermon.
DR.. Chapman took his text from the
fifth verse of the twelfth chapter of
jeremiah, How wilt thou do at the
swelling of Jordon?" The speaker re-
ferred to the river Jordan and of the
caves along its historic banks. He
said that within these caves the wild
animals of the surrounding region
sought refuge but there came times
of freshet in which the swollen river
overspread it's banks and inundated
the adjacent land. The first of the
caves then filled up, said the speaker,
and the animals which had sought
refuge and hiding places there We're
driven to other caves farther down
the river. Then as the swollen waters
rushed on their way all the caves
were filled up. and to escape death by
drowning the miserable animals had
to go out into the open. where they
found death at the hands of the i'm
habitants.
He said that men who were dissatis-
fled, that infidels and men whose sole
support was morality, were in a similar
position to these animals. At first
they were moral, but only moral and
not Christians, which meant they were
clinging to straws. When this feeble
support gave away they became i'm
fidels and then easily sank into dissi-
patton. This class was being driven
from cave to cave as the Jordan OF
life rose under the influence OF its
freshets. Finally they would have to

While Being Beaten He Sinks Teeth

While Conductor ]. A. Blackstock
was changing the trolley of his car al
the end of the Pico Heights line last
night at 11;5O o'clock he was attacked
by three armed men, dragged down
an embankment, brutally kicked and
beaten, and then robbed of about $SG
and a watch worth SIS.
Blackstock fought desperately and
buried his teeth in the arm of one of
his assailants The robbers escaped.
James Fitzgerald, the motorman, had
removed the headlight from the front
of the car and was adjusting it at the
other end for the return trip, and
Blackstock had walked around to the
rear of the car with the trolley rope.
The lights in the car were all out and
the dense fog covered the earth like q
blanket.
Just as Blackstock was ready to adj
just the trolley tall and powerfully
built man showed revolver against
the conductors forehead and ordered
him, with a vile epithet, to keep his
mouth shut. Almost at the same in
stant another man seized Blackstock's S
hands from behind and a third took
hold of his shoulders.
Get down that embankment, quick,
ordered the big man in an undertone,
and the conductor, helpless in their
grasp, was showed and dragged into a
ditch.
Fearing he was about to be killed
Blackstock began to fight and sue

arm of one of the men, but the tall
robber struck him terrific blow on the
temple. which knocked him down.
stunned While the bandits went
through his pockets they kicked him
brutally.
Robbers Escape
After securing everything of value
which they could find the robbers made
off across the Country club grounds
toward Sherman, and Blackstock saw
that two OF the men were much shorter
than the thug who first attacked him.
The conductor was too much excited
to give a connected account of the rob
berry and could give no description Of
the men except as regards their height.
So dense was the darkness and fog
