RADICALS PAINT PICTURE
Anniversary of serfs' Emancipation
Not Commemorated
BY Associated Press.


BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, March 4.-The
expectation in some quarters that the
anniversary of the emancipation of the
SerfS today would be commemorated
by an agrarian ukase, was not full
filled.
The newspapers, however, seized The
occasion to discuss the present question
in view of the general anticipation of
extensive agrarian troubles in the
spring, unanimously agreeing that only
legal satisfaction of the land hunger
of the mujiks Will prevent an awful
jacquerie.
The conservative journals draw a
striking parallel of riots which fol-
lowed the proclamation of civic liberty
and the events that succeeded Emperor
AleXander'S decree of personal freedom
Tor the purpose of proving that the
present political ferment is only Incl
dent to the adjustment of the popula-
ton to a new regime. Then, as now,
they say, the emperor's act was mis-
understood
The peasants believed the land with
which they were endowed was a free
gift and when they We're undeceived
jubilation over their freedom turned to
anger and was followed by uprisings
and riots throughout the empire which
provoked the sternest repression.
On the contrary the radical journals
like the new situation and paint a
powerful picture of the unfortunate
peasant of the last forty years bound
to the soil burdened by a debt not yet
discharged and subject to the knout.
They attribute the miserable condition
of the peasants to the incompleteness
of emancipation and ask if the Russian
people are now condemned to another
such period of misery and struggle he
cause the grant of civic liberty is in
sufficient.

The fire was an exceptionally spec
tacular one. and at it's height the
flames were leaping several hundred
feet in the air Several immense gas
tanks of the Consolidated Gas COM

and a report that they were about to

tors in a wild flight for safety.
In the rush several persons were
hurt. The uptown ferry station of the

ened. Later, when the fire in the car
barns was practically under control,
a party Of train passengers being es-
corted from the ferry station by a
squad of policemen, narrowly escaped
injury from flying bricks when one of
the long wallis of the burned structure
gave way and came down with
crash.
The fire originated in one Of the cars
which had been run in for storage dur

FRANCE PLEASED WITH VOTE
Result of Saturdays Ballot Shows
Much Strength
BY Associated Press.

PARIS, March 4.-The voting at All.
geciras Saturday on the proposition OF
Sir Arthur Nicolson, chief of the Brit
lsh delegation, to proceed to the i'm
mediate discussion of the Moroccan
police question, gives great satisfaction
here chiefly because France has ranged
with her large majority of the powers
While Germany is among the small
minority.
Public tension was such over the
Franco-German controversy that the
vote was welcomed both as a success
and as showing that France was able
to count upon the almost unbroken
support of Europe. French officials
have claimed for some time that if a
vote were possible. it would give
France sweeping majority 1t APP
pears that yesterdays division did not
produce a recorded vote, yet the powers
aligned themselves with sufficient pre-
cision to amount to n vote.
All the French journals give the
division in the form of a vote, eight
voting in the affirmative, being
France, Great Britain, Russia, Spain,
Portugal, the United States, Italy and
Holland, and the negative three, being
Germany, Austria and Morocco. The
officials here have been considering
Austria as doubtful and had Austria

vote of Europe would have been ranged
on the side of France.
Vote Favors France
The semi-offical Temps seems to ac-
cept the decision of the conference as
vote in favor of Frances proposals,
saying:
1.-THE vote, though referring to a
question of procedure, is valuable to us
frnf l1nr r-fr
only have Great Britain, Spain, Rus
STA and the United States clearly adj
hered to our ideas, which was fore
seen, but Italy Belgium, Portugal and
Holland unhesitatingly recognized the
loyalty to our proposition.
1.-THE Temps correspondent at AL
geciras, however, points out that 1.-THE
vote refers merely to procedure, signi-
flying the desire of the conference to
character and import of the action of
the delegates with reference to pro-
cedure should not be minimized."
The result also affects the diplomatic
status of the controversy. Germany
wants to settle the bank question be-
fore that of the police, but France does
not wish to grant concessions on the
bank until she is sure that Germany
will make reciprocal move concerning
the police.
Therefore the decision of the confer
ence to consider the police question re-
quires that Germany shall say whether
she is or is not prepared to change her
attitude relative to the police. Ger
many's answer will thus determine
France will yield on the bank
question. The indications are that if
Germany refuses to give way on the
police, France will not yield on the
bank, thus accentuating the former
deadlock by carrying it into the open

ROCKEFELLER SUES
BROKERAGE FIRMS
SEEKS TO RECOVER s5oo,ooo IN
SUPREME COURT
Case Recalls Tragic Death of Leland
w. Prior, Who Committed Suicide
at Cleveland, Following Exposure
of Illegal Dealings
BY Associated Press.

| BY Associated Press.
| NEW YORK, March 4-Frank Rock
efeller has started suit in the supreme
court against various individuals and
brokerage firms in this city and Cleve-
land. Mr.. Rockefeller, who lives in
Ohio, is seeking to recover $5OO,ONO.
The suit is the outcome of stock
transactions with Leland w. Prior, who
committed suicide in Cleveland January
9. Mr.. Prior's brokerage firm, Denison,
Prior & Co, suspended operations after
Prior killed himself and is now in the
hands of q receiver.
1t appears from Mr.. Rockefeller's
complaint that he is DESTROYS of hold
ing the New York correspondents of
Denison, Prior & Co. responsible for
the money lost through the dealings
with Prior. The New York correspon-
dents were c. I. Hudson & Co. of 80
Wall street and e and C. Randolph &
Co. of Ill Broadway. Both these firms
are named as defendants.
Deposited Money With Prior
AT the time that Prior committed sui
eide Mr.. Rockefeller was dealing heavily
in the stock of the Republic Iron and
Steel company. He had on deposit
with the Prior firm and it's auXiliaries
large blocks Of the stock, but it was in
the name of Prior. as it had not been
paid for, he says, and simply held for
him. The stock certificates had been
issued in Prior's name.
AS soon as he learned of Prior's sui
eide Mr.. Rockefeller says he ordered
all his deals closed. He now declares
that they carried out his instructions
and realized large sums by the sales,
in fact much more than what had been
advanced on the stock in the course of
the purchase Of the same.
Mr.. Rockefeller sues to recover the
money realized over and above what
was due the brokers.
The receiver for the Prior firm,
Thomas Bushnell, is also named as
