St. Petersburg (By Cable).-A boldly
planned attempt on the life of Vice Ad
miral Doubassoff, governor general Of
Moscow and member OF the council of
the empire, was frustrated. AS in the
case of Vice Admiral ChOuknin, who on
February of this year was the OBJ
ject of a terrorist attack, the would-be
assissin was a woman, and her method
was practically the same as that OF the
woman who attempted the life of Couk
min.
Representing that she came from per-
sonal friends of the governor general,
she gained admittance to the chancellery,
but her agitation attracted the attention
Of an aid, who noticed particularly the
luxuriance of the woman'S hair, which
was coiled high upon her head.
When she was interrogated she at
tempted to flee, but was seized and
searched, and small bomb was dis
covered concealed in her tresses. The
identity of the woman has not been
fully established
The accused member of the Father
Gapon labor organization who committed
charges of accepting money from the gov
ernmcnt was being investigated was
named Sechoff He enjoyed a high
standing among his fellow-workmen, who
are terribly depressed as result of the
scandal in the organization.
Father Gregori Petroff had charged
Sechoff with obtaining $500 from Faith
er Gapon and with having accompanied a
member of the secret police in the search
for Nj. Matushensky, press agent and
counselor of the Father Gapon move
nlent, who fed with organizations funds.
During the progress of the meeting
Sechoff made an impassioned speech, in
which he declared he could not support
the infamy involved in the charge that
the organization had been in league with
the government, nor the obloquy heaped
upon himself, as both he and the organi-
zatiOn were innocent.
Sechof then called upon Father Gapon
TO declare in the presence of his fellows
whether he (Sechoff) had received a
cent from the government. Father Ca
pom arose and exonerated Scchof. where
upon the latter said:
81 will now give you supreme proof
Of my honesty and drawing a revolver,
blew out his brains
NJ. MatushenSky, who was arrested at
Saratoff February p, after having been
located by a committee of St. Peters
burg workmen and compelled to give up
the $4,000 of the workmen's funds which
he took with him, reached St. Petersburg
today. He declares that he demands all
investigation into his conduct.
St Petersburg (By Cable) AT a
meeting of 6,ooo members of the Asso-
citation of Industry and Commerce, held
in the hall of the nobility, it was resolved
that the development of RuSsia's prosper
ity is dependent upon the liberties granted
in the Cars manifesto of October 80,
1905. which must be incorporated in the
fundamental laws of the empire.
The present procedure of the govern
ing bodies, which is devoid of all legality,
is, the association declared, leading to-
ward irreparable disaster TO the welfare of
Russia, and cannot be longer tolerated
without the graveSt menace to the coun-
try and dynasty.
Minsk, Li;huana (By Cable)-The To-
cal Zionist leaders have issued an appeal
to their followers to reject the advice of
the Jewish bund, which is agitating
against participation in the elections, and
urging them, in the interest of the Jews,
not to lose an opportunity of elccting rep
resentatives to the national assembly, as
in many places the Zionists are in the
majority.
