RUSSIA RIDDEN
WITH CRIMINALS
| LAWLESSNESS OF ALL KINDS
PREVALENT
Record of One Day Displays List of
Shocking Misdeeds-Rombs and
RevoIvers Used Every
where
BY Assnciated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG. March pa
LaWlessness and crime are keeping
pace in Russia with the repressiVe
measures of the government. Columns
of newspapers are daily filled with rec
ords of murders and robberies and
side by side are brief chronicles of con-
demnations and military executions of
political offenders. The majority of
the roberies and assassinations are OF
political nature and everywhere the
revolutionists are fighting their op-
rressors with bombs and revolvers. The
record of a single day shows the dis
tracted state of the country.
At Tamboff, Riga, Warsaw, Batoum,
Mitsu and Chita yesterday military
executions took place, while from half
dozen other cities reports of death
sentences passed by military courts on
political prisoners come.
From Stavropol and Kuban provinces
in the Caucasus come reports of the
pillage of churches and the theft of
sacred jewel encrusted relics. Near
Samara, province of Samara, robbers
disguised as rural guards held up a
mail coach and carried off $4,000 in
booty, and at Orenburg an armed band
plundered the state distillery and sew
eral pharmacies.
Robbery Everywhere
An attempt was made at ElolSlaNSk,
Poland, to assassinate the chief of po-
lice and at Starjitsy, Poland, a large
foundry was set on fire and burned.
Armed men at Ekaterinoslav robbed
a merchant of $1,000. At Smoland an
Internal machine was thrown through
window in an assembly of mobiles,
and in Sebastopol eight masked men
entered store, bound and gagged the
proprietor and employees and escaped
with the contents of the till. The spirit
of lawlessness has also penetrated
north, which part of the country is
still snowbound.
The peasants of Vologoda province,
on the road to Archangel, are driving
off the proprietors. They fought bat
tie near Yarenok with a detachment of
100 Cossacks, were defeated and left
a number of dead on the field. On the
other hand, near Bloseisk, in Novgorod
province, the peasants were victorious
in a fight with guards, causing the
latter to retreat.
At Lodz Poland, 5000 men are locked
out and in all the principal cities hun
dreds if not thousands of men are
without work and are walking the
streets begging food.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-An echo

position of moving to instruct the con-

motion clearly out of order at that
time. The correction was made as sug-
Sested.

and then defended the civil service.

With District Attorney

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 29.-The officers
of life insurance companies who con-
tributed a portion of the companies
funds to political campaigns committed
larceny, is the opinion of Justice O'Sul-
livan of the court of general sessions.
Justice OSullivan expressed his
opinion in court today in replying to
the presentment submitted to him by
the grand jury which is Investigating
some phases of the insurance business
which were developed by the legisla-
tive committee. He held the larceny
was committed by the officers who
authorized such contributions and
charged the jury to investigate as to
the responsibility for such crimes.
This opinion is directly opposite to
the one on the same subject which was
submitted to Justice O'Sullivan by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome several days
ago. Replying to Justice O'Sullivan,
District Attorney jerome reiterated his
opinion that the acts of the insurance
officials did not constitute larceny and
told the court that if he maintained his
contrary opinion that it was up to the
grand jury to seek cause for indict-
ments for larceny against George w.
Perkins, former vice president of the
New York Life, who admitted giving
political contributions, and against
George B. Cortelyou, chairman, and
Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Re-
publican national committee, as the
receivers of stolen goods.

.T|LLMAN' TILT
ENL|VENS SENATE
SPOONER AND SOUTHERN MAN
HAVE ARGUMENT
Discussion of Rate Bill Brings Out
Tart Language - WaIIace's
Testimony Read in the
House
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Mr.
Spooner today concluded his speech in
the senate on the railroad bill, and the
fortifications appropriations bill was
taken up and passed. The bill carries
an appropriation of $125,OOO for the
erection of powder mandatory, and
Mr.. Daniel spoke at length in support
of the provision. He alleged that the
nation was entirely at the mercy of a
powder trust and urged that the
amendment be adopted as a safeguard.
AS passed the bill carries an appro-
priation of S5,25S94S.
Mr.. Tillman also spoke on the rail-
road rate bill, suggesting that the in
terstate commerce commission should
have authority to enjoin the rallroads
from increasing their rates He said
the suggestion had been made by d
''cornfeld lawyer" in Oklahoma.
Reading from the letter. Mr.. Tillman
said:
Now this man wants to know why,
if you can enjoin the lowering of a
rate, why it is not possible to enjoin
the raising of a rate"
He followed this up with number of
other questions taken from the letter
is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
sander."
Looking at Mr. Spooner, the senator
said: Now / represent the goose and
the senator from Wisconsin is speak
ing for the gander."
Mr.. Spooner interrupted, saying that
he had not intended to ridicule Mr.
Tillman, but said that the object of
his remarks was that one should not
hire a cornfield lawyer to argue a con-
stitutional point.
4 II would not" replied Mr.. Tillman.
"a cornfield lawyer might beat you
out on principles, but he would 60 to
flinders on practice"
Temporary lnjunctions
Mr.. Spooner declared that under the
+ fifth amendment to the constitution
Z the circuit court could not be deprived
of the right to issue temporary injunc-
tions. Mr. Spooner then went on with
an argument intended to show that
the carrier as well as the shipper was
entitled to the laws protection.
Mr. Spooner closed with a reference
to the danger which he believed eX-
lists of invalidating the rate bill by the
adoption of the Bailey amendment.
Mr.. Tillman declared that if it were
not for distrust of the federal judges
and the arbitrary and tyrannical way
in which they exercised their powers
there would be no occasion for an
amendment to the rate bill to curtail
their authority to issue injunctions.
Immediately after the senate con-
Nened Mr.. Beveridge renewed his mo-
tion authorizing the appointment of
conferees on the part of the senate
to meet house representatives on the
statehood bill and Mr. Foraker with
( drew his amendment requiring the sub
mission of the question of selecting con-
ferees to the senate.
Messrs. Beveridge, Dillingham; and
Patterson were designated by the chair
as conferees on the part of the senate,
the selection being made by Mr.. Bever-
idge.

Jerome's Proposition

District Attorney Jerome said, ad-
dressing the court:
IF your honor will sit as magis-
trate in this case l will submit affi-
davits as to the acts committed by
George w. Perkins, and will ask the
warrant for his arrest. A writ of
habeas corpus will follow and the case
will be taken to the highest court,
where 1 will retain Alton b. Parker as
special counsel
Justice OSullivan refused to grant
the warrant.
After Judge O'Sullivan had delivered
his remarks to the grand jury there
was some question as to their exact
import, one portion of the judges re-
marks dealing with the question of in
tent in such manner as to make it
appear that it was the duty of the
grand jury to consider the matter OF
intent in it's determination of the ques-
tion as to whether larceny had been
committed. Judge O'Sullivan's state
ment that there was larceny was made
in answer to the hypothetical ques-
ton put to him in which certain sup
positions were accepted as facts.
The supposition dealt with the maxi
ing of contributions by authority of in
surance officials.
