To the Editor of The Star:
May l ask you to give expression to the
following? The late outrage has plowed

honest and true American ever put violent
hands upon an American woman.

 of the Views Presented.
 The chamber of the board of alder men was filled to overfiowing last even- ing when the public hearing on the extension of Humphrey street was talk en up. When the board had been call- ed to order Alderman Langley immedi- ately moved that the board resolve it. self into committee of the whole, and Alderman Loos was appointed chair man of the committee.
 Chairman Loos called for the hear ing of. those in favor of Alton street first, which started the first discussion of the evening. An attempt by Alder man T. r. Kelly and John U. Doughan to question the legal status of the case was squelched by tne .chairman's de- claration that only those who wished to speak in favor of Alton street were in order, Alderman Devine objected to this ruling, and Alderman Collins moved that the Lombard street plan be taken up first, Alderman Homan amended that the hearing be on Hum phrey street. allowing the speaker the freedom of either plan, This was lost on yea and nay vote, and Alderman Collins motion was carried on yea and nay vote, Il to 5.

REPETITION OF REVOLT IN MOSCOW IMPOSSIBLE MOST OF THE RINGLEADERS HAVE BEEN KILLED OR
 ARRESTED.

Reports of a Counter Revolution in the
 Outlying Districts--Situation in the
 Baltic Provinces still CrlticaI---Sta-
 tiOn Master Who Refused to Send
 Out Train Is Hanged--SeriOus Dis-
 orders Among Reserves Returning
 From Front.
 Moscow, Jan. 2.-Governor-G General Doubassoff said to the Associated Press to-day:
 q consider the repetition of the re- volt in Moscow to be impossible. The Reds have alienated the sympathy of a large portion of the liberals, who have been inclined to look with some- thing more than complacency on the idea of an armed uprising. The events of the last few days, however, have filled them with horror and have driven the liberals and even the radicals to the side of the government, winch alone is able to preserve order. Most of the ringleaders of the revolt have either been killed or arrested, and practically all the arms which they have been ac- cumulating for months have been cap- tured. No matter what the inclinations of those still at liberty may be, l am convinced that they will not again be able to precipitate q reign of terror"
 While declining to give details of the losses, as hls Investigations have not yet been completed, the governor gen. eral pointed out that these losses were greatly exaggerated. This, he said, also applied to the property losses. The only large establishments which had been burned were the Setin Printery, which was valued at $500,00O; the Schmidt furniture factory and part of the Manontoff factories. The damage done by shell and shrapnel to the fac tories and houses could be repaired at comparatively small cost. Most of the houses burned were inexpensive wood- en structures, but the heaviest loss, the governor general said, was to the commercial interests, which on the eve of the holidays were damaged to the extent of several millions
 The number of persons arrested was large, the governor general said, but most of them would be released with out being put through the formality of trial. The leaders would be tried by the civil and not by the military tri- bunals, but the most fragrant offenders, the men who were palinly guilty of traa son Vhtnih iD5 nthat rnlI11tries WniIld be punishable with death, would prob ably get off with terms of imprlson- ment at hard labor. such being the mildness of the Russian laws. Attempts at acts of revenge against the police and the troops were naturally to be expected, and for this reason Governor General Doubassoff said his order against the people going on the streets after o'clock at night would be en- forced, until the excitement subsided.

BALFOUR ISSUES ADDRESS.
Crlticises Opposition-Favors Change
 in Fiscal Policy.

London Jan. 2.-Arthur J. Balfour, the former premier issued his election address tonight. II it he says that the country knows the members of the present government chiefly as critics, and that their criticism has has been sometimes singularly interruptions and perverse, as in the case of Chinese la bor and other matters. After referring to the adherence of the new ministry to home rule for Ireland, and to the disestablishment of the church in Wales, the address says:
 "One thing the liberals regard as i1n- mutable, however the conditions of in- ternational trade may have changed, is the fiscal policy of the country. take the more conservative view, and hold that the time has arrived to adopt England's fiscal policy to the changing conditions of changing world Should you return the unionist party to power, it is to the reform of the fiscal system that it's attention ought first be direct ed"
 With this brief reference to fiscal re- IOTIIlJ MI DdlAOAI QuAlS LilG ouUJeCl' He then proceeds to express his want of confidence in Sir Edward Grey as foreign secretary, because, whatever his capacity to direct the foreign office, there must be two conditions in his fa- vor; first, strong army and navy, without which in times of stress diplo- macy must degenerate into bluff or to appeals to mercy, and, second, the sup port of united cabinet. MT. Balfour says it is doubtful if these conditions can be fulfilled. and continues: In imperial matters, the gulf which di- vides, say Robert William Perks (the liberal member from East Lindsey, Lineolnshire) from John Redmond Header of the Irish party) is immeas- urable. No formula can conceal it, and no compromise can bridge it."
 The former premier concludes with an appeal for support on the personal grounds of his twenty years of faith ful service

Broken Blade of Razor Placed on Vic-
 tiru's Breast to Form Cross.
 New York, Jan. 2.-Guiseppi Ricco- bono was caught in a little east side cellar and murdered with razor to- day. His body was found lying face upward, with the blade of the razor broken into two pieces, which were laid on his breast in sinister and almost perfect cross. His left hand had been half cut off at the wrist and his throat was cut.
 The police say that a band of Italians killed Riccobono in revenge, not for any harm he had done them, but because he refused to tell them what he knew about the murder recently of an Italian known as Pasquale Rocco. The slayers of this man are supposed to be in Phil- adelphia, where the police are looking for them. Riocobono told the New York police what he knew of the case, adding also that he was in fear for his own safety He was killed to-day in the cellar beneath his own store in East Thirteenth street during business hours. This cellar Riccobono used as his sleep ing room The police arrested on sus- picion five Italians whom they found there, about an hour after the murder, viewing the body.

DESPONDENCY AND TRAGEDY

 Daughter Absent at the Time-One
 the Editor of Michigan University
 Paper.
 Rochester, Mich, Jan. 2.-Attracted by the deserted appearance of the farmhouse of Clarence A. Barnum, who recently located near here, ilsighI5ors broke into the house to-day and found Barnum, his wife, his daughter Louise, aged twenty three, and his son Clinton, aged sixteen, all lying dead. The wife and the son and daughter had appar- ently been murdered with an axa A shotgun lying near his corpse and the fact that his head was almost entirely blown off showed how Farmer Barnum had met his end. Mrs Barnum's body lay in the woodshed. It appeared that she had been able to resist the murder CT for brief time, or, at any rate, had succeeded in eluding him long enough to reach the shed. But here she was struck down and met the same fate that had befallen her son and daughter
 The appearance of the house ndioat- cd that the family had just finished breakfast to-day when the insane and murderous frenzy of the father broke out. Evidently there had been a ter rife struggle, as the mother and chill dren battled for their lives. The dining room was all bespattered with blood, even the ceiling Under the dining room table lay the fathers body, a gun across his knees Apparently he had taken the muzzle into his mouth before pulling the trigger. Three extra car trldges stood on the sideboard, as if in readiness to overtake any member of the family who might succeed in escap- ing the murderous axe. There was blood on the handle of the axe, but the blade had been washed. In the dining room where the body of the father was found lay also that of the daughter. The sons corpse was in the kitchen. It is thought that the boy was the first attacked, that the mother was killed in the woodshed next, and that the father turned last to the daughter imprisoned in the dining room, where the disturb- ance apparently had begun. The wife and son and daughter all had their heads terribly cut and crushed with the axe.
 Barnum sold a farm near Homer, Mich, only few months ago and To- cated here late in the season. It is said that the harvest in his new homo did not meet his expectations, and that he had become Respondent. This was made very evident in a letter he had written to a brother in Waterloo, N. T. Two other sons and daughter were away from home when the tragedy oc- cured.
 William Barnum is editor of the Col lege News Letter, an official publication of the University of Michigan at Ann .Arbor. John Barnum lives at Coldwa- ter, Mich. The surviving daughter, Mary Barnum, resides at Albion, Mich.
