COERCION FOR DUMA


LONDON, June Is, 1906.-A despatch
to the Exchange Telegraph Company
from st. Petersburg, says that the Car
has signed a ukase dissolving the Duma,
and that it is now awaiting only Premier
Goremykin's insertion Of the date Of dis
solution.
The dispatches from Russia continue
to be of the ugliest import They bring
stories of destitution, lawlessness, mu-
nifty, riot, outrage and anticipated mas
sacre of Jews. Another general railway
strike seems to be impending A St
Petersburg correspondent, dealing with
the evidence of a coming revolution, says
it is daily more apparent that the real
fight will take place independent of the
Duma.
The Constitutional Democrats are be-
ing superseded by the Marats and Dam
tons of Russia, whose fiery speeches
opening up vistas of land and loot are
more enticing than the duller programme
of the moderates. Every syptom Of Rus
sia's present condition could be paral-.
leled from the early days of the French
Revolution, only in Russia the war cry
of Zemlya volya Gland and liberty
takes the place of "Liberte, Egalite ct
Fraternite" The Government must de-
eide at once whether it will resign. If Il
does not soon a great fight Win beg-A.
The ST. Petersburg correspondent Of
the '.Times," describing the situation as
one of anarchy everywhere. and the out
look as well nigh desperate, says there
is only one means left of preventing .
catastrophe only one chance of bringing
the Government to listen to reason. That
is the fear of a financial crisis. The
newspapers say that the Government is
already anxious to replenish its Golfers.
The last loan was negotiated on the un-
derstanding that it would not be directed
against he Dunla.
Foreign bankers must now realize that
they were deceived and that they may be
expecteJNfto act accordingly. This is al
ready indicated by the fall in Russian
bonds abroad. and the bourses in st.
Petersburg and Moscow are in a state
bordering ON panic. The brokers talk OF
sendfNT q collective memorial to the
thrt *. s>r'c.ing out the certainty of H.
yields to the Duma.

ST. PETERSBURG. June II. 1906
Two regiments of infantry and battery
of artillery have been sent 10 reinforce
the garrison at Crongtadt. Several reg

garrison at Peterhof. These movements
are significant of the increased apprehen-
sion created by the strikes in st. Peters
burg and Moscow.
The labor demonstration to-day at Ter
ioki. on the Finland border, which was
arranged by the revolutionary members
of the Duma. was attended by 10000
persons. The speakers demanded amnes-

movements on land the ships Of the naval
squadron moored in the river will take
part as did the British men-of-war in the
Revolution.
The battle of Red Bank, which has
been read by nearly every person, is in
teresting reading. 1t was fought while
the British were trying to force their
way into Philadelphia in 1777, just after
Washington had fought the battle of
Brandywine The Hessians, under Count
Donop, marched from Camden through
Haddonfeld, Westville and just north Of
Woodbury. Fort Mercer. In the early
morning of October %, the Hessian drum
beat echoed that of the Rhode Island
trops in the fort. After waiting until 3
o'clock a cannonade was begun by the
Hessians from behind hastily thrown-up
earthworks. This lasted for two hours.
The Hessians then divided their forces,
one-half going south the other to the
north. The latter detachment was re-
pulsed and then the one from the south
was thrown back.
In this assault Count Donop was mor-
tally wounded, and the old monument
which still stands marks the spot where
he fell and nearby is his grave. The
soldiers on both sides who fell in the bait
tie were taken to the old Whitan man

through the battie sat in her room calmly
spinning. The Hessians were routed with
great slaughter, nearly one-fourth Of their
force being lost.

SIT is the purpose of this department
to make automobilists obey the law, and

For some time past, Fortuna Pola, a

reiving letters fron members of an alleg-
ed Black Hand gang to the effect that
If he did not hand up $500 he would

While Pola didn't pleasantly contemplate
the receipt of such letters, they did not
scare him. He tore them up and didn't
even notify the police On Saturday
race called at his home and demanded
the $780, Pola declared he didn't have
that much money and that if he did he
would not hand it up. His two callers
were evidently not of the Black Hand
species and it appears were only trying
10 bluff him out of the money demanded
Dne of them, in order to scare Pola, drew
a revolver and fired two bullets in the
Hoor. Pola whipped out revolver and
got ready for business. Seeing this the
two visitors beat a hasty retreat. Pola
ran after them up Railroad avenue. but
fefrained from firing at them. They
were too feet of foot for him and soon
putdistanced him as sprinters and disap-
peared from view.
Pola thought it was then about time
10 notify the police of the occurrence and
Of the threatening letters he had receiv-
ed. The incident thoroughly stirred up
excitement in Little Italy when it be-
Came generally known. Other Italian
residents of the section, it is said. have
received similar letters from the alleged
Black Hand fraternity demanding mon
ey. but for some reason, possibly fear,
failed TO notify the police. 1t is also said
that some of these acceded to the de-
mands rather than meet the threatened
vengeance of the Black Hand Society
The prevailing belief is that the men
working the game are not regular mem
bers of the Black Hand Society, but are
using the name of the Society to scare
their victims.

THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE

Complaints poured in upon Chief Muir
ply and upon the Captains in all the
precincts in the city yesterday against
the incessant explosions of dynamite
caps, giant torpedoes, and giant fire
crackers. From early morn till late at
night the fssilade was continuous. es-
pecially in the downtown section Of the
city. Although it was Sunday d stranger
in the city might we'll have believed that
a premature Fourth of July celebration
was in progress. 1t was difficult to even
conduct church services, and among the
compliments was the pastor of the Sec

ed to the Chief that it was next to i'm
possible to conduct his services on ac-
count of the noise. The Sunday saloon
businesss isn't in it little bit alongside
of this outburst Of alleged patriotism so
far as the interference of church worship
is concerned
Chief of Police Murphy is not the
kind of man to interfere with the fun of
small boys, but he believes in preserving
order. 1t was not the small boy who
made the most noise yesterday. Many
offenders were nearly grown youths who
work in offices and factories and who
blew in a goodly portion of their wages
in joining in making a noise just to
hear it. The only arrest made in the
city was made by Chief Murphy last
night. He was sitting on the stoop Of
his home when he heard terrible fu-
silade of what sounded like the expli-
sions of giant fre-crackers at Fourth and
Grove streets. on the southwest corner

which the Chief knew religious service
was being held The Chief hurried to

NEW ARK, June 18. 1906.-3Irs.
Robert D. Bradner. of No. 36 Clifton
avenue, luckily awoke early yesterday.
She then discovered that burglars had
made an unsuccessful attempt to rob the
house, and had either deliberately or by
their reckiessness. or both, turned on the
gas in the sleeping-room occupied by
Miss Ada Bradner and her younger sis
ter. Mrs. Bradner detected the odor of
the gas and traced its source to the bed
room of her daughters in time to prevent
serious consequences.
The noise made by the rafting of
window shutters caused by the wind
aroused Mrs. Brandner and when she
arose the strong smell of gas gave rise
TO suspicion that something was wrong.
She aroused her husband, who pro-
ceeded to investigate. He first Went to
the sleeping apartment of his son, but
found everything there apparently in
good order.
AS he was proceeding in the direction
of the room in which his two daughters
slept Mr.. Bradner heard the older girl
calling. her voice indicating that she was
in distress.
Hurriedly responding to the call Mr..
Bradner entered the ROOM As he did
so he heard the gas escaping from the
pipes in the room with kissing noise,
indicating that there was a strong pres
sure behind it.
Miss Bradner was already out of bed
and although half suffocated was striv-
ing to reach the gas fixtures to shut on
the flow which she realized was hreaten-
ing her own and her sisters life.
The younger girl was still asleep and
when Mr.. Bradner had cleared the
room of the gas he found that both
girls had escaped serious consequences.
Miss Bradner declared positively that
only one jet had been lighted previous
to her retiring for the night and she
was equally positive she turned off that
light.
The mystery was solved when it was

pockets of his clothing had been
searched and a small sum of money
stolen.
A rear window on the first floor had
been forced and relocked after the in
truders got inside the house, and an
open kitchen door leading to the house
yard explained the means of exit.
The residence Of William S. Cannon.
directly opposite the Bradner home on
Clifton avenue also was entered during
the night. Discovery of this fact was
made when the wires connecting with
the house telephone We're found to have
been cut. A servant in the family dis
covered that she had lost a small sum
of money in silver Nothing else was
stolen, and it is believed that in both
cases the burglars were frightened be-
fore they secured any booty.
Entrance to the Cannon residence was
effected by forcing pantry window on
the first floor, and the burglars made
their exit through rear door.
