they may lose the savings of years.
Two are dead because of the strange
circumstances that surround the clos

Ger at 1913 North Kedzie avenue, heard

Success of the Pollard Plan.

Judge William ]. Pollard of the sec
ond district police court of st. Louis tells
in the Arena of the results of his plan
of suspended sentence of men convicted
of drunkenness during the past three
years. He finds that not more than . per
cent of those to whom the opportunity
was given to reform had failed to take
advantage of it. When these men come
before him charged with intoxication he
imposes heavy fine or term of imprison
ment. and then offers a printed form
pledging sobriety for the prisoner to sign.
The condition is that he report once
week during the time it runs. In case the
man is unable to report at the court. tIa
judge receives him at his residence. Al
these meetings he gives such advice and
encouragement as he can, endeavoripg IN
awaken the confidence and self-respect of
the paroled prisoners. Judge Pollard saws
that virtually the man is enjoined from
getting drunk" OF course. the men who
are hopelessly and utterly drink deprayed
are not treated in this way by the Judge.
To them the usual punishment of impris-
onment is melted out.

END OF RUSS STRIKE.
WoRkMEN's COUNCIL DECIDES
TO CALL OFF STRUGGLE.
No Action in Provinces, but They
Are Likely to Follow Example of
Contradictions of ..First step
in Revolution"

The Russian workmen's council has
decided to call off the strike in st. Pc
tersburg. This action does not apply
to the provinces, but there is little
doubt that the workmen there will fol
low the example of ST Petersburg.
More than half of the factories in
st. Petersburg have resumed work,
and while the employees of some of the
Establishments at Moscow are still out
none of the predictions of the extreme
parties who organized the strike move
ment were fulfilled.
Time for Strike In-Chosen.
Many of the trades unions positively
refused to join in it, the railroad men,
whose cooperation was vital, could not
be induced to give the signal for a
strike owing to fear that a majority of
the men would not obey. and there was
no sign Of serious peasant movement
While the repressions and arrests of
the leaders undoubtedly were a great
factor in bringing about the present
situation, it is apparent that the mo-
ment was ill-chosen for a strike The
people We're not III the temper to sup
port it. As a consequence the revolu-
tionary leaders, who really inspired it
with the intention of transforming the
movement into an armed uprising, have
suffered severe loss of prestige, and
the proletariat organizations through
which they worked have been so weak
ened in the eyes of the masses that it
is probable they will not quickly re-
cover.

The government, which had prepared
for the worst, holding military trains
in readiness at all centers and had
even made arrangements to send out
the foreign mailssASy torpedo boats
from st. Petersburg, naturally is great
ly rejoiced over its victory. Nothing
more than local echoes of all this fe-
verish activity of the revolutionary and
proletariat leaders, with possibly a
more active state of terrorism, is eX-
pected in the immediate future.
SIavs Urged to Rebel.
The former deputies composing the
social-democratic and labor parties,
Polish and Jewish committees, and va
rious revolutionary bodies, in an urgent
appeal for constitutional rule. have
issued the following joint manifesto:
ITO the Whole Nation: Citizens, a
ment dissolved the lower house of par
lament. 1t laughed at the national rep
resentation and set the whole people at
defiance. Russia has received this new
crime of the autocratic power in sullen
silence. The government rejoiced at
this victory, but the thunder of guns
at Sveaborg and Kronstadt proved this
rejoicing to be premature.
1.-The army and the navy have raised
the. standard of instruction against
the oppressor Of the people. The roar
of the guns at Sveaborg and Kronstadt
has given the signal for a new pan-Rus-
| sian attack on the autocracy. A new
and decisive struggle for land and lib
erty has begun. The lessons of the past
will not have been in vain.
"The imperial manifesto of Oct 80
proved deceitful and state douma' is
without authority and unable to satisfy
a single national need.
1.-THE people see now they can hope
for and expect nothing so long as the
state power is in the hands of its enc
mics. The object is not an unauthori-
| tative parliament, but constituent as
sembly. with full powers, elected by
universal, equal. direct and secret suf-
frage The people must apply them
| selves.
'tCitizens all, to whom freedom is
dear, we call upon you for decisive
struggle against the government of the
emperor. for national government
and for land and liberty. We call upon
YOU for a general strike, TO cast down
the imperial government and the au-
| thorities depending thereon.
Long live the general strike and the
decisive struggle for national power.

eight constabulary men, were ambushed
by lgorrotes while shooting the rapids of
the Abulung river, in northern Luzon,
on bamboo raft. Major Crawford and
Captain Knauber and five men Were
VIC Inded with arrows. They were unable
to return the fire because the enemy was
hidGen on the wooded banks of the river.
This outbreak is inexplicable, as hitherto
the Igorrotes have been peaceable.

southern Mill Men Defended.

Miss Gertrude Beeks of the welfare de-
partment of the national civic federation,
with notebook and camera, has made a
tour of southern mill towns to Investigate
the alleged child labor abuses. She adj
mits that too many children are employed
there, and that the laws are not up to
date, but insists that a majority Of the
children do, nevertheless, attend school.
She says that, as the State provides no
way TO care for the poyerty-strieken, it is
a debatable question how far criticism
should be offered for their presence in the
mills.

The Christian Register (Unitanian)
has published the address Of Nine. Loyson
before the international congress of mon
otheistic religions at Geneva, in which
the statement is made that ''Mussulmans
are Unitarian Christians, willingly con-
Tossing it, and that they are more ortho-
dox than Socinus or Claiming" She
says they accept the Old and New Tesla
ments and believe in the miraculous birth
of Christ. but refuse to call him the Son
of God. believing that, as God is a pure
spirit, he could not have son born of
flesh. She characterizes Islam as "a
unity with a short and unique creed
God and the judgment" All are laymen
as were Christ and his disciples.

longest flights ever taken by a passenger
balloon in this country. DR.. Thomas said
that he was compelled to land to get
water, his supply having given out few
hours before. After filling their tanks,
the balloOnists again rose and the light
wind carried them in an easterly direc-
ton. DR.. Thomas said that the trip had
been one of the most successful he had
ever taken and without a mishap of any
kind. The trip from New York TO Noank
covered about 40 miles. While off
Bridgeport the balloon descended until
the aeronauts came close enough to Long

a conversation with a yachting party.
This was about l O'clock in the morning.

TRUSTS IN PANAMA FOOD.
Prices Have Been Increased 100

frlces Have Been Increased 100
Per Gent on Isthmus.
Trusts and combinations in the 18TH
mian canal zone succeeded in increasing
the price of meats, vegetables and fruits
more than 100 per cent and forced the
Panama commission to pass a resolution
a recent meeting enabling its agents to
buy supplies in the open market and with
out advertising for bids. Members of the
commission say they discovered that all
the dealers in provisions who had suffi-
Gent capital to furnish the bond required
of bidders on supplies had pooled their
interests and cornered the contracts for
vegetables, meat and fruit required for the
hotels and messes. The combination was
in position to demand prohibitive prices,
and the commission was forced to change
It's methods and enable small dealers and
producers to compete for the business. As
a safeguard the commission has decided
that not more than $500 worth of supplies
is to be bought daily in the open market
without asking for bids. This limits pur-
chases to perishable provisions.

Summit County Treasurer Overdraft
of Nearly Million Decreased.
Examiners Poulson and Raley filed
their report of the examination of the
Summit county treasury with Judge Par
dee in Akron, Ohio. 1t shows that there
is deficit in the treasury of $272, 454.
The examiners say this deficit was $780,
154 at the time the examination was be-
gun, but that since then a large amount
of borrowed money has been returned.
The report says that a large part of the
loans are unsecured and that a consid
cradle part of the securities representing
loans of the public funds are renewals of
obligations taken by former .treasurers
and carried by the present treasurer, Fred
E. Smith. Smith declares that the vault
in the court house is unsafe for public
funds and that the cost of his bonds,
100000 in all, is so high and his salary
50 low that lie had to lend money to keep
ahead.

FOOD CUT OFF BY FIRE,
business District of Howard, Ohio,
Destroyed and Provisions Scarce.

Two squares, composing the entire bust
ness section of the town of Howard, Ohio,
were wiped out by what is believed to
have been an incendiary fire early Thurs
day. The flames started in the meat mar
ket of James Hess and swept through the
town, destroying Marion Tracey's gem
eral store, Jacob Westry's establishment,
the /. O. o. f. building, the Heidy block,
Wolf & Critchfeld's undertaking estab-
lishment and the building belonging to
Miss Anderson. The loss exceeds $4,000.
The destruction was so complete that sup
plies of food had to be sent from Mount
Vernon for the relief of people.
