NEW YORK. May 19.-Tom Jen-

padded mat in Madison Square gar
den tonight to contest for the third
time for the wrestling championship
of America. The present title holder
is Jenkins. who defeated Gotch and
took the laurels in a contest here a
few weeks ago. Remembering the
desperate battle that the two put
up on that occasion, all lovers of
the sport are on edge now in antici-

claimed that he lost the last match

he meet with defeat again tonight

offer for he has been training faith
fully since the match was made and
appears to be in first class condition.
Jenkins also appears to be in condi-
ton to put up an excellent contest.

The news of Miss Leontief's ar
rest, caused an unbounded sensation
among her exalted friends. Princess
Tenicheff and Miss Trepoff were
panic-stricken. They jumped to the
erroneous conclusion that they would
be compromised by her seizure. They
quickly met and decided to evade all
further difficulties by committing sui
eide. Miss Trepoff left her fathers
house under the pretense of going for
a walk, proceeded in a droschky to a
point outside the capital, and threw
herself in front of the incoming ex-
press from Moscow. She was killed
on the spot and her remains were

| to oppose popular demands with the
same obstinacy.
With characteristic energy, Miss
Leontieff declared that she herself
would make the first attempt She
proposed that if she failed, one of
the other two should make the second
attempt. Lots were drawn to decide
whether Princess Tenicheff or Miss
Trepoff should make the second at
tempt The lot fell on Miss Trepoff,
so 1t was decided that if the first
attempt made by Miss Leontieff fail
ed, another attempt would be made
by Miss Trepoff. and if this also was
unsuccessful. third and final at
tempt would be made by Princess
Tenicheff. The three young women
bound themselves by a solemn oath
to carry out their murderous plan
relentlessly and efficiently.
The cars doom was apparently a
matter of few days 1t was avert
ed by his withdrawal to his palace
at Tsarskoe-Selo towards the end of
January and the suspension of all
court festivities during the present
political crisis. The trio of terror
lists were confident, however. that
they would come face to face with
him in the course of the spring or
early in the autumn.
Probably with the natural weak
ness of the sex, one or other of the
three fair conspirators dropped n hint
OF their intentions to some bosom
friend. Anyhow, Miss Leontieff was
suddenly arrested In her own home,
on charge of reasonable conspiracy
against the life of the emperor of
Russia. Explosives and three small
hand bombs were found carefully
concealed in her bedroom. Her father,

These three young women, all
members of good families. all brought
up amid wealth and luxury and all
in possession of the advantages of
a western European education, con-
cocted a plot to assassinate the en-
peror of Russia.
Miss Leontieff. at the time of her
arrest, was within a few days of her
twenty-fifth birthday. She had been
converted to nihilism by students
while attending the University of
Zurich, in Switzerland. Her enthusi-
asm carried her so far that she at
tached herself to the terrorist sec
ton of the revolutionary party.
which believes in propaganda Of
deed"
Miss Leontieff returned to st.
Petersburg about a year ago. and
Immediately put herself in communi-
cation with the secret organization
of the revolutionist party in the
Russian capital. Owing to her high
position in society, she was able to
supply them with many valuable
items of information.
Not content with her activity in
this direction, Miss Leontieff began
quietly to propagate advanced politi-
cal views in her own circle of sd
ciety 1t is not known how many
converts to nihilism she made. but
it Is certain that she succeeded in
injecting two of her more intimate
friends with her own political be-
liefs.
These two friends were Princess
Tenicheff and Miss Trepoff, The
princess was 23 years of age and a
member of one of the oldest and
most prominent families of the Rus
sian aristocracy. Her father, Prince
Tcnicheff, is one of the greatest land
owning magnates In Russia. His
daughter, who was a girl of unusual
intelligence and striking beauty, was
the recognized heiress of fortune
of $l0.000.000 and to estates covering
fully $4,000 acres. Princess Teni-

Almost at the same time Princess
Tenicheff blew out her brains with a
revolver in the garden surrounding
her fathers residence in St. Peters
burg. The discriminating letters and
documents which gave the police all
the information now in their posses
sion were found among Princess Te-
nicbeff's belongings.
The discovery of these documents
will seal Miss Leontieff's fate. They
leave no doubt whatever that she
conspired in grim earnest to assassi-
nate the car. The explosives found
in her possession supply the remain
ing evidence to convict her of this
serious crime. Inevitably she will be.
