charmer, or charmers, and where the
criminal escapes the police and the
just results of his thefts he in turn
becomes the victim of the women
who infest concert halls and similar
resorts.
There was time when the Eng
1ish were considered the most expert
in this branch of crime, but that is
no longer an existing condition A
crowd of English crooks came to this
country a couple of years ago. They
got no further than New York, which
has the system of apprehending pro-
fessional crooks boiled down to a
fine art. This party included four OF
the widest and most skillful pick
pockets of London and the continent.
The New York police caught them
ALL one after another, SO rapidly that
they were dazed. The same kind of
performance occurred when a party
of German thieves landed in Phila-
delphia The thieves were arrested
very quickly after they began op-
erations, one of them being caught
with seven watches on his person.
In the cases of most thieves who
ply their calling between New York
and Chicago and other of the larger
cities the process of making the de-
tectives acquainted with the criminals
makes 1t difficult for any well-knoWn
crook to he in the city any length
of time without being recognized and
watched. For instance. at the Har-
rison Street station or the old cen
trail detail, now housed at the DeS-
PLANES Street station, the criminals
and suspicious persons picked up dur
ing the night are held until morning
for scrutiny and possible Identified

"a KILLED IN ONE DAY
Colonel Of Regiment Kills Engineer Who
Was Found With Revolver in His
Pocket Reservist Officer Shot
Down.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. s.--I4isut, Col.
Sergueieff, writing from Colomna, near
Moscow, furnishes details Of the ruth
less slaughter BIZ Government troops
along the railways recently. He cites
the case Of battalion Of the semenof-
SKY regiment under Col. Riemann, which
was sent along the Moscow. Kazan Rail
way to deal with cx-strikers.
He says that when the troops reached
the station of Golyutyin, Col Riemann,
with two officers named sievers and
stietk, left the train with a company
OF men.
The Colonel ordered the station staff
to quit the platform and assemble in
the waiting room, where they were
searched. A revolver was found in the
pocket OF an engineer named KharlaR-
off, whereupon he was immediately shot
by Riemann himself.
A local reservist non.commisioned Off
Ger, while attempting 70 leave the wait
ing room, was shot dead by Ricmann's
hand. Among the Others in the waiting
room was a man named Patapof, who
had win him his son, 10 years old,
who was found TO be carrying a book
that contained q forbidden song Rie.
mann fiercely Aogged the father. He
then seized the chief railway employee
and demanded Of him the names Of all
members Of the strike committee. The
man was told that he had twenty min
utes in which to obey and that il he
then refused to give the names he would
be shot Immediately. He protested that
there had been no local strike committee.
An order came from Moscow condemn
ing him to be shot. He was taken cut
to be killed, but as the man evidently
was speaking the truth he was lot 60
eventually.
In a police list OF eighteen villagers,
only two were found TO be armed with
revolyers; but all were arrested. Nine
others were collected in similar way
from the neighborhood. No charge was
made against them, nor was any in
uuiry held, but all Of the twenty-seYen
we're shot the same day.
Sergueielf, whose letter, thc Russ
states, has been confirmed by inquiries
in the district, concludes with the OBJ
servation that Col Riemann's actions
were in no way victory over the in
ternal enemy, but were simply the muir
der Of quiet, defenseless persons.
Fron, other provinces come personal
narratives which so 20 show that the
kind of peace that has been restored, as
a condition precedent to the promised
reforms, is the kind that Col Riemann
established along the Moscow Kazan
railway.
