PEAS IT'S STA RVING
MILLIONS OF RUSSIANS 'IN THE
voLGA DISTRICT in NEED
: OF. ASSISTANCE.

Crops Ii Seven Provinces Are aTota,
Failure and in Twenty Others the
Harvssts Are Very poor Estimated
That seventy-five Million Dollars
viii 30 Needed to Relieve the
Distress. ~ ~,
st. Petersburg. Dec. 3.--Princes-
Lvotf and Orbeliani, the representa-
tives of the Moscow zemstvo famine
relief organization, who have Just re-
turned from the stricken districts:
have furnished the Associated Press
with the following facts regarding the
conditions in the famine Provinces:
The crops in the seven provinces
of Samara, Saratov, Sembirsk, Kazan,
Penza, Tambov and Ufa were practi-
cally total failures In twenty prov
inces the harvests, were very poor.
About 20,0OO,000 people will need as
sistance for from four to ten months
to stave off starvation until the new
crops are available. Though affecting
100000 persons the restitution is
far less intense than it was in 1891.
In some regions the inhabitants have
been suffering from starvation for ten
years, passible crops having been gath
cred in only two of the ten years.
Prince Lvoff believes the government
estimate of ,$50,000,O00 for famine re-
lief is inadequate. The Moscow zemst-
vo relief organization calculates that
$75,000,O00 and possibly more will be
necessary.
Though the conditions in the famine
regions are now distressing far worse
may be expected in January. The
zemstvo organization funds will then
be exhausted and the relief commit
tees will be compelled to cease their
efforts for the starving peasants. Prince
Lvoff complained that the local off,
Gals, for political reasons, are inter-
fering with the establishment of soup
kitchens and the rendering of medical
assistance.
He reported cases where petty func-
tionaries prohibited assistance being
given to famine sufferers. Epidemics
of hunger, typhus and scurvy, which
usually began in February, already
have appeared in three provinces
Tulla, Kazan and Samara.

Stock Changes Hands.
New York, Dec. 3.-Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. of this city have purchased the
$4,000 shares of Chesapeake and Ohio
stock which has been held by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company. An
nouncement to this effect was made
at the firms Office here, but they de-
clined to give any details of the trans
action. It is understood, however, that
the stock was purchased for the Van
derbilt interests, which now control
a considerable amount of Chesapeake
and Ohio stock.

When T. M. Roberts, the supply
man at Minneapolis. failed some
years ago, people were astonished
to learn that he owed manufac-
turers large amounts for goods.
Roberts always sold for cash and it
was supposed that he bought his
goods for cash. Now comes the
Commercial Bulletin with a state
ment that Sears, Roebuck and Co.,
Of Chicago owe something over
eleven millions of dollars to trades
men, customers, employees and in
open accounts. The firm has been
trying to sell 50, 900, 900 of preferred
stock for some months and has not
met with very good success. The
firm has been offering to take de-
posits from customers all over the
country and pay interest on same
and has probably secured large
amount of money, as the Bulletin
shows they owe customers and en-
ployees $2,934, 673.47. 1t seems
like a risky proposition for farmers
to loan money to aconcern hundreds
of miles away, and about which
they know 80 little, but it seems
some do it.-Todd County Argus.

TO REBUILD BROOKLYN BRIDGE

DoubIedeek Arrangement Proposed to
Allow Greater Traffic.
New York, Nov. 27.-The daily
crush on the Brooklyn bridge is re-
ceiving the earnest attention of Mayor
Mcclellan. At a conference of officials
important plans for temporary and
permanent relief were discussed.
Longer trains and increased Roadway,
It is expected, will bring temporary
relief.
Plans for permanent relief include
an almost entire rebuilding of the
bridge. Doubledecking will probably
be rescrted to in order to make room
for additional lines of railroad tracks.

MORE TRIALS IN THE NAVY.
The Number of Cases Increased Fifty.
Five Per Cent

According to the judge advocate general
OF the navy there was large increase in
the number of general court-martials in the
navy during the past fiscal year. The total
number of cases was ], 2SS, which was 533
or So per cent more than during the pre-
ceding year. Included in the list were ff-
teen hazng cases at the Naval Academy.
The judge advocate general reports that
the various naval prisons are in fair order
only, but the condition Of the prisoners
generally is excellent. Attention is invited
to the increase in the number of failures to
qualify in the line. medical, pay and marine
corps, which Is regarded as Indicative of
the thoroughness and care with which the
examinations are conducted. 1t is urgently
recommended that Congress be requested
to pass the pending bill providing for i'm
provement of conditions relative to the ad-
ministration of justice in the navy.
A new Office building recently completed
at the Washington navy yard contains ten
cells for temporary prisoners. The cells are
of modern type, with necessary appliances,
bath, closets and wash rooms, well venti-
lated and sanitary, and the judge advocate
general says admirably suited to the needs
of the station for the purpose intended.

The Department Has the Best Naval
Collection in the Country.

Mr.. Charles W. Stewart, superintendent Of
library and naval war records, in his an
nual report says that the usual rate Of pub
LEGATION Of two volumes of the records a
year has been maintained, and that the pub
LEGATION has now reached probably the most
interesting portion of the civil war from the
naval point of view, namely the operations
Of the gulf and inland waters. He refers to
the great and growing interest in the naval
establishment by the people generally, and
says that the records of our navy in colonial
times, during the revolutionary war, the ac-
tons at sea against the French navy, the
war with Tripoli, the war of 1872, operations
against pirates in the West Indies, the Mex
lean war and other United States naval op-
eratons should be collected, indeXed and
arranged for publication.
The department library, Mr.. Stewart says.

States, and use and consultation of it's vol
umes made by all executive depart
ments and its own bureaus and offices and
boards.

AUTO KILLS A RACER
MAXIM KNOCKED STONE DEAD
BY BIG CAR.

A dispatch from New York says: An
automobile owned by Frederick H. Bed
ford. the Standard Oil capitalist, and occu-
pied by his wife and Mrs. William II. Mich
OILS. wife of another multi millionaire opera
tor of Brooklyn. struck Maxim, a Speedway
champion in the head, on Brooklyn's east
ern parkway yesterday. and killed the horse
SO quickly that he stood stone dead in the
traces for a moment, while his owner. with
whip and rein, tried to start him.
Only by a margin of less than an inch
were the riders in both automobile and the
carriage saved from the horses fate.
The speedy racer, having won a hundred
triumphs on New York's Speedway, was
recently bought DIR. Howard Mykrantz,
a wealthy Brooklyn physician of III Macon
street. With Mrs. MykrantZ at his side in
the carriage, the doctor had been eXercis-
ing Maxim along the boulevards, and at
5 o'clock in the afternoon he began speed
ing homeward on the Eastern Parkway.
Maxim pranced coyly at every leaf and
stick and pretended frantic fear whenever
an automobiel whizzed on the level asphalt
drive.
Horse Knocked Stone Dead.
But the doctor says the animal was well
under control and only playing" when at
St. Marks avenue he noticed hurting to-
ward him the Bedford auto kurrying to 1913
Clinton street, where the Standard Oil man
lives. Alexis Brown was the chauffeur.
Maxim began to prance in earnest as the
great machine bore down. DIR. Mykrantz
says the car was running thirty or forty
miles an hour. He tried to swerve the
frightened horse to one side, when suddenly
the rear Of the tonneau chashed against the
head Of the horse with a thud that could
be heard for blocks
Maxim was killed instantly-the autopsy
proved that-but the dead horse stood bolt
upright in his tracks long enough for DR..
Mykrantz to lay a whip lightly across his
back. cluck and shake the reins. The auto
mobile had covered half a block and Mrs.
Bedford, having alighted. was on her way
suddenly fell in heap.
Mrs. Mykrantz Hysterica1.
Mrs. Mykrantz was hysterical, and Mrs.
Bedford, also plainly sufferin from the ner-
vous shock, asked the physician and his
wife to come to her home until they had
recovered. They both declined. but sum-
moned cab and returned to their apart
ments.
The chauffeur, Brown, declared the horse
ford, at his home. said the automobile was
not running too fast. But DIR. Mykrantz
is of an entirely different opinion.
Il have no desire to make trouble for
Bedford he said, but the death of my
horse was surely due to the recklessness
of his chauffeur. Maxim had won many
races on the speedways Of this and other
cities. I loved him almost as a brother.
If Bedford does not see fit to do what he
can to make good my loss 1 shall put the
matter in my lawyers hands,

REPAIRS TO WARSHIPS.
Acting Secretary Newberry's Policy of
Utilizing the Crews.

Good results are following the adoption in
the navy of the policy laid down by Acting
Secretary Newberry of utilizing the ship s
company in making repairs to warships and
keeping them away from navy yards as
much as possible. Mr.. Newberry has ad-
dressed letters to Capt. F. ]. Drake of the
battleship Wisconsin and Lieut.. Henry NJ
Jensen, the senior engineer officer of that
ship, commenting them and the engineer
force for having made extensive repairs to
the boilers in addition to other important
work during 115 days. The remarkable
feature of that performance IS that while
the work went on the vessel cruised in
squadron and engaged in all practical MAJ
neuvers, steamng 5000 miles and for thirty
consecutive days had six boilers under
steam.
