SOCIALISTS UNDER ARREST.
st. Petersburg Police Determine to Pre-.
 vent Outbreak.

vent Outbreak.
 St. Petersburg, April 26.-Apparently convinced that the new organization of the unemployed is cover for the long predicted renewal of armed revolt simultaneous with the convocation of the national parliament and being de- termined not to be caught mapping as they were at the zenith of the move led by Father Gapon. the police today again descended upon the socialist la- bor and bagged the entire executive committee of the St. Petersburg social democrats and revolutionists and a number of prominent labor leaders who were holding a secret congress in the capital.
 Several meetings had been held and the speech rivaled in virulence the famous meetings of the workmen's council during the October strike. The police had held off hoping to capture the whole congress, but warning had been given a majority of the members who escaped. The members are so enraged at the arrest of their lead CTS that they threaten giant demon strations by the unemployed which will be certain to result in bloodshed
 The final elections will be held to- morrow in seventeen more provinces in central Russia. the Don region and several cities. The results practically will determine the composition of the national parliament. The preliminary elections were generally favorable tc the constitutional democrats, who are expected to secure a large majority of the electors. Poland Is proving an other stronghold of the radicals. The features of the preliminary elections at Warsaw. Lodz and Wilma was the large number of Jewish voters, 1t be. ing as high as 97 per cent in some districts.

The Cure For Lynchings.

Kansas C1tY JOuFnal.
 The Springfield lynchings have been denounced, and rightly, by newspapers and law abiding people everywhere. but the fact remains that regardless or de- nunciation lynchings have occurred and will doubtless continue to occur in every section of the country, in conser- vative Massachusetts and w-loving Kansas as well as in the hotblooded South. It is proper but idle to deplore the fact. The practical, sensible thing cause of this fearful crime. The obli- gation due to society, as a preventive of anarchy in a sense, Is to remove every possible excuse or necessity for enacting laws so swift and sure that the. opportunity for mob vengeance will be forestalled. The main basis of lynch law is the slowness and uncer- talnty of statute laws. Tn EnEland criminal is usually tried. convicted and punished for a capital ofense within a week. or at most, a few weeks after the crime Is committed. No legal teen ntcalities are allowed to stand Tn tne way. and thus justice is made sWiis and terrible. There is no reason why 1t Is not so in this country except the laches or negligence of legislators, law yers and courts. The next Legislature will have the task of S9oini Se99difyinis ane ane of the first steps ought to be the slm- plfying of the criminal practice so that justice may prevail m thls state at least as effectually as in Englan1a;

Wells at Highland Park.

Editor The Advertiser:
 evsr,, Montgomery should, G., as , city take is entirely necessary to its growth we all want to see the 100000 in 1910 and are working to that end, but we should leave no stone unturned to make this the cleanliest city in Ala bama if not in the South.
 l want to tell conversation I heard the other day between three ladies liv- ing a t Highland Park:
 One said have just been dying to find my cat--I had the prettiest mal- tese cat you ever saw and somebody
 Lady No. , says. "yet, it looks ike we can't keep anything at the Park. John brought me beautiful Fox Ter rier puppy and only kept 1t a week, haven't been able to find 1t high and low; and I always wanted Fox ter- rier, too."
 Well" said lady No. 3. we lost our you reckon we found her? In our WELL-yes, am. that cat had been in tsere a whole week before we knew 1t and I'll bet If the truth is known You all have wells. haven't you9 No. l and No; lin unison) My! I hadn't
 Brother Editor. it's so-these pets fell in the deep. deep well. Thef city is no place for wells and in most any city you would have to fill your well up and connect with city water or the Heath Officer will know the reason why
 Cant the good old Advertiser help us out on this proposition? Think of the mosquitoes bred in these city" wells with cats, dogs and I don't know what all in them. They should be put out of existence.
 There is no one that likes the moss covered bucket" in tho old well any better than I do. but, if you please, give me mine in the country.

sHoo FLY,

We believe it was Mark Twain, or some other humorsome writer, who insisted that an ant is about the big gest fool member of the animal crea- ton. Perhaps Mark was correct, but we are inclined to give first place to the common everyday house-fly. If there Is any place he will not go we have not yet discovered 1t, and if there is anything but death that will drive him away from you permanently we have yet to learn of 1t. You may slap at one--and miss him-a hundred times and he will circle around and hit the same spot, rubbing his hands together with satisfaction over your frenzied efforts to put him out of bus mess. A fly just hasn't spark of sense.
 But now the scientists and special ists are getting after the little pests and the indictment they bring against the entire brood is something fearful The Indianapolis Star says of 1t:
 Scientists have been studying the fly, and present a variety of horrible facts concerning it. One investigator infected one of the insects with cholera then allowed it to drink from glass of milk and after letting the milk stand for sixteen hours discovered one hundred cholera colonies from each drop of milk. Another laborer in this field found tubercle bacilli in four out of six flies that were caught in the room of a patient that had died from nhthisIs Another found bacillus of the plague in virulent form in the

POLICY HOLDERS DEMANDS.
Radical Change Needed In Management
 Of Companies.

London, April 2s.--1n accordance with the resolution adopted April 20 by the committee of British policyholders of inc Mutual Life Insurance Company, or New York. a circular has been issued to all the policy holders in the United Kingdom. This circular which IS signed by Lords St. oswald. Armstrong and Northcliffe. and by the following members of the House of Commons. IIarmood, Banner. Zaverns, Benn. How arth, Booth. Barclay. J. Baron and. Sir
 Wilfred Lawson. cites the demands ca bled recently to the trustees> of the Mu- tual company and contends that while
 the suggestions made by the trustees
 that an actuary be appointed to verify the reserve and liabilities, might re-
 assure the policyholders as to the sol-
 vency of the company, 1t would not romove the serious causes of dissatis- faction with the political management
 nor aid the policy holders In securing the proper control of the company affaifs in the future
 While not accepting as true all the charges made in the United States
 Against the management. the committee fears that without a radical change In | the management, no provision for the
 auditing of the company's affairs from | time to tima will satisfy the public of the United Kingdom. The circular | adds:
 Tt seems to the committee that 1t Is | impossible that the company can, with | any prospect of success, continue uo- | ing business in this country so long as | the present New York management Is | in authority. The present expenses are out of all proportion to the results The desire in Great Britain and the | United States Is declared to be a thor ough reorganization as q policyhoiders | company The circular cnds wilh tho following statement:
 should unforeseen circumstances
 frustrAte the accomplishment or tnls
 organization, 1t would become reces-
 sary demand that the British interests
 be separated from the American and that the British policyholders be form-
 ed into a special organization.
