REVOLUTION IS CRUSHED
Polish People Feel the Iron Hand Of
Russian Military Rule
INDUSTRIES OF THE LAND ARE IN RUIN
Spirit of the People Survives, How
ever, and Plans Are RsinE FOrmu-
lated for Electoral Campaign
for Their Rights.

WARSAW, Dec 16.-Reports received
from points throughout Russian Poland
show that the governments policy Of
firmness has been successful In reducing
the last of the smouldering sparks Of the
revolution. This result was accomplished
at a terrible cost to the Polish people, The
number Of victims being estimated at thou
sands. Business has become stsgnant, the
trades and industries are bankrupt and the
masses are disprited and in a state OF
poverty. Reports today from Cezstochowa,
which is a typical Polish town with a popu-
lation Of about 5000, including many Jews,
show that seven so-called terrorists have
been tried by drumhead court martial and
executed in the last two days.
In the early part Of last week five ter
rorists were tried, convicted and shot here,
as also were three at Sierada, near Kalisz
two at Tomaszow and one at Lomza.
These executions have been going on so
constantly throughout Poland generally
that It has become almost superfuous to
repeat the daily chronicle OF military exc
cutions
Despite the depressing effect Of this mar
tial rule the Poles are buslly engaged in
organizing their forces for the next par
hamentary elections. For the time being
party differences have been forgotten and
the national spirit has brought about
merger OF the three great Polish parties
conservative, progressive and democratic.
These are selecting fusion candidates rep
resenting Polish national ideals. The new
Polish school system is bringing out evil
denee Of national energy. as the permission
TO establish private schools with Polish
teachers has already resulted in the forma-
ton of 800 schools, with an attendance of
75OOO Polish children.
Altogether, despite the darkness Of the
present martial conditions, the situation
mas been somewhat relieved by new evil
dences Of the indomitable spirit Of the
Polish people asserting itself

EX-SENATOR GREEN ACQUITTED.
DemOnstration OF Approval in Court When
the Verdict Is Announced.

WASHINGTON, March s.-Former State
Senator George A. Green Of New York, who
has been on trial for the past two weeks
on the charge Of conspiring to defraud
the Government, was acquitted this after
noon. The jury was out W and a half
hours. When the verdict was announced
the crowd in the court room made a great
demonstration OF approval and the ex-
element continued for nearly an hour,
people surrounding Mr.. Green and insist
ing on oongratulating him.
Other indictments OF a similar character
are pending against Mr.. Green. District
Attorney Baker declined to say after the
~acquittal what action he would take in
regard to these. George F.. 0'Neil, pub
Usher of the ~Binghamton Leader, is Mr..
Green's counsel.
Mr.. Green Is the first man indicted for
completely in the postal frauds who has
been acquitted. II is supposed that the
verdict was due to a belief by the jury
that the Government had failed to establish
that the accused dealt with Beavers, in
dicted as a oooonspirator, with any knowl-
edge that payment OF commissions to
Beavers on time recording machines pur-
chased for use in post Offices was a crime.
Beavers, who was chief Of the division Of
salaries and allowances in the Post Office
Department, pleaded guilty and is now
serving a sentence OF two years in the
~penitentiary.
Mr.. Green gave a dinner to a score or
more Of his friends at a local hotel tonight.
Most Of the guests were from Binghamton.

CHICAGO, March S.-John Alexander
Dowie has become a secondary figure. while
officials of his Church in Zion City are striv-
ing to hold together the fiscal affairs Of the
institution and prevent it from complete
wreck.
1t was reported to-day that urgent private
cable messages sent to the Apostle" in
Jamaica had been returned undelivered.
1t became an open secret that Deputy
Overseer voliva had cut loose from Dowie
and was defying many of the Apostles
cherished rules.
1t was said that Dowie was no longer the
active head Of the Church. In addition to
the question where is Dowie?' these
questions were in many mouths: What

Why was it necessary to forcibly open the

cell.
Mr.. wilkinson asked permission to re-
view the minutes of the Grand Jury. The
date Of the trial will be set after the de-
PENDANTS lawyer and District Attorney
Furman have had a talk on the subject.
1t is known that one Of the questions
asked Mrs. Simpson last night when she
was testifying before the Grand Jury WAS

effect 1t was:
"Is it really your opinion that your hus-
band shot your father Intentionally"
He most positively intended to do So

400, 900, 900 IN british EMPIRE.
| These Are Scattered Over an Area OF H..
o ,35S Miles.

Special Gable Despatch to THE sun.
LONDON, March 8.-The result Of the{frst
organized census Of the British Empire is
issued in a Blue Book. II shows that the
empire consists Of an approximate area OF
II, 9OS, 1878 square miles, or more than one
fifth OF the entire land area Of the world.
The population is about AGO. 600 900, OF
whom $4,000 900 are whites. The popu-
lation is roughly distributed as follows:
In Asia, 800, OOo, 900; Africa, $1,000 900;
Europe. AZ, 900, 900; America, 7,5oo, 900, and
Australasia, 5000, 900.
The most populous city after London Is
Calcutta. The highest proportion of mar
ried persons is in India, Natal, Cyprus and
Canada. The lowest is in the West Indies.
Depression in the birth rate is general
almost everywhere, but is most remarkable
in Australasia. The proportion Of insane
persons in the colonies is much below that
in the United Kingdom. Insanity is mark
edly decreasing in India, despite con-
e~anguineous marriages. Indeed, the theory
that such marriages produce mental I'M
soundness is little supported by these
stAtisticS.

cousin Joe" Has Them, Says the Cobbler,
After Woman Had Him Arrested.
Mrs. Charles A. Gilchrist, wife Of a ply
stefan, living at 9l6 Hudson street, Hoboken,
recently placed a $3.50 diamond sunburst in
her son Douglass's shoe for safekeeping
and on Monday last sent the shoe and
its mate to Frank Miglioco's cobbler shop
TO be repaired.
The police suspect that Mlglicco found
the sunburst in its hiding place, as Emil
Rogge, a jeweller at s17 Washington street,
is authority for the statement that the cob
bier called at his store with the piece Of
jcwelry and wanted to know how much 1t
was worth. Rogge told him and Miglicco
left the store with a pleased smile. The
jeweller recognized the sunburst as one
which the physicians wife had purchased
from him and he promptly notified her.
Then Mrs. Gilchrist remembered that she
had hidden the diamond In the shoe which
went to the cobbler shop, and caused the
arrest OF the cobbler.
Miglicco admitted that he had the SUM-
burst In his possession for a little while,
but said he returned 1t to his cousin Joe"
VINO had asked him to find out for him how
much money he could get for II. Joe"
he said, had gone to st. Paul, Mimi,
The cobbler was held In $500 bail for the

legged error of SIC, 900 made in their report.
The designations of Frederick Gallatin and
b. ID. Hicks, as vice-presidents, were ao-
cepted, and then came the presentation Of
charges against the management Of the
society.
The charges were In two groups and
covered fully a score of cases. They we're
handed in by Gordon Knox Bell and we're
not read. Mr.. Bell merely sketched the
contests, gave the names Of the signers
and asked that they be referred to the
committee.
That ended the business Of the day, with
the exception OF a resolution binding those
at the meeting with the exception Of the
secretary not to give out information.
Mr.. Haines when asked for more news
simply raised his hands above his shoulders,
took a long breath and said:
MY, what a relief. am glad-but really
gentlemeni I have no more to say now
Some time in the future-well, l have Moth
ing to say now"
There was no suggestion at the meeting
as to a successor to Mr.. Haines. The names
OF Gen. Roe and Col. Erhardt have been
mentioned, but neither of them would
say anything, 1t was learned yesterday
that the g. p. @. A. Reform Society, headed
by Arthur Turnure, is not likely to press
its movement to hold a big mass meeting.
1t is also believed that no further attempt
will be made at Albany to take AVA the
dog license fees from the society. An eff
fort will probably be made to have rival
organizations join forces with the s. P.
c, A. 1t is also probable hat when the
society is r~eorganized an effort will be made
to sell the building 1T occupies and to use
some Of the income from that in employing
a larger number Of agents for street work.
