IMPOSTER IN RUSSIAN CAMP.
Fake Officer of Reds Gets Military
Secrets.

There have been many frequent
cases in the central Russian provinces
Of the revolutionary agitatOrs wearing
the uniform of an aide de camp of the
emperor going through the country an
nouncing to the ignorant peasantry
that the emperor has decreed the dis
tribution of all land, but that the no.
bles and landlords were preventing
the news from reaching the peasants,
and instructing them to take what the
emperor has given.
A still bolder fraud has been ex-
posed at Kharkov which illustrates the
deCeptions to which the revOlutionists
are resorting in order to penetrate the
military secrets of the government, and
to open up channels for their propa-
ganda in the army. Some time ago a
man appeared at the headquarters of
the commander of the Kharkov garri-
son, representing himself as Lieuten.
ant Pojotsky, aide de camp of General
Sukhomlinoff, commander of the mill
tary district of Kiev, in which Khar-
kov lies. He presented what appeared
TO be an official document, authorizing
him to transmit orders regarding the
disposition of troops.
The idea of questioning the mans
authority never seemed to have en-
tered the mind of the commander of
the garrison, who received him with
| the greatest attention, and turned over
for his inspection all military docu
ments in his possession.
For several weeks Lieutenant Po
jotsky' was entertained by the Off
| GERS, was a prominent figure at the
mnltary reviews, and personally ac
companied several punitive" expedi
tions into the country. When he left
it was with full military honors.

discovered the man was an imposter

CAUSES ANOTHER SUICIDE.
Chcago's Bank Failure Proving q
Bad One

Bad One.
Chicago.-F'rank kowalski, paying
teller OF the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank, which failed Monday, and for
some time assistant receiving teller
in addition to his other duties, shot
and killed himself at his home. Crit
icism by neighbors and lifelong friends
who accused him of a share in the
downfall of the bank is believed to
have driven Kowalski to his death.
kowalski has complained bitterly
of the suspicious of his friends, and
declared that unless his character was
speedily cleared he would take his own
life.
Kowalski's relatives are firm in the
belief that he was innocent of any
wrong doing in the management of the
bank.
kowalski was 80 years old and had
worked for the bank for 13 years.
While the coroner was holding an
inquest over the body of Kowalski a
crowd of angry foreign men and wo-
men gathered about the house and Gre
ated demonstration. A Polish man
and woman entered the house and
hurled athemas at the family, shook
their fists at the body and cursed the
memory of the young man.
The crowd tore the wreath of crepe
from the door and crushed it in the
gutter. The excitement grew to riot,
when the police subdued it with clubs
More Than One Thief.
All theories that Paul o. Stensland

to the crooked president are thought
to have been engaged in the production
of bogus signatures.
The big forger, it is said, is Cashier
Herring. The authorities now believe
his hand planned the signatures to
over 100000 worth of crooked paper
The first thing to make the inquisi-
tors certain was the discovery of a
bogus $4,000 note with the name of
NJ. A. Labuy attached to it.
When confronted with the signature
and charged with its execution, Herring
became embarrassed.
