TO EXTERM|NATE
All Russian Authorities Is the Aim of
Military Terrorist Organization.

Odessa, Sept. A military terror
ist organization has been discovered,
whose aim is said to be the extermin-
alton of all the authorities, with in
discriminate regard to their reputation
for oppression. The ramification of
the organization is extensive, and ali
branches of the service are reported
to be represented in it's membership.
The campaign of terrorism against
high officials continues. The govern
ment at st. Petersburg has warned
governors throughout the empire to be
most careful and to take additional
precautions for their personal safety.
A civilian yesterday fired several shots
at Governor General Stupln, of Nj
kolaiev. His aim was defective and
all the shots missed. Stupin is one of
the most popular of the governors and
this attempt upon his life shows the
extent to which the terrorists have
gone in their efforts to coerce the gov
ernment by assassination. Stupin's
assailant was arrested.
