SCANDAL CAUSES SUICIDE
Follower of Father Gapon Kills HIM
self Publicly.

St Petersburg, March 5.@The ac-
cused member Of the Father Gapon
labor organization who committed sui
eide yesterday while the scandal in
volving the charges of accepting
money from the government was be-
ing investigated was named Sechoff. He
enjoyed a high standing among his feI-
low workmen who are depressed t4s
cause Of the scandal. It now develops
that Father Gapon was himself present
at yesterdays session when Seehoh
killed himself.
Father Gregorie Petrof had charged
Sechof with obtaining S2.5O0 from
Father Gapon and with having accom-
panied d member of the secret police
in the search for NJ Malushenskv.
press agent and counsellor of the
Father Gapon movement, who fed
with the organization funds. During
the meet Sechon made an impassioned
speech declaring he could not support
the infamy involved in the charge that
the organization had been in league
with the government nor the obIoou15
heaped on himself, as both he and the
organization were innocent SechoR
then called upon Father Gapon TO de-
clare in the presence of his fellows
whether he. Sechof. had received a
cent from the government. Father
Gapon arose and exonerated Sechoff.
whereupon the latter said:
IT will now give you supreme proof
of my honesty" and, drawing a revoI-
yer, he blew out his brains.

she might and that he would refund

Being a little late with
this linen sale, which we
usually hold in February, we
are going to make up for our
waiting customers delay, by
Offering a list of bargains SO
wonderful that the people
will not only feel doubly rec
ompensed, but grateful to us
for keeping them waiting.
The fact is, we held this
sale off, pending the arrival
Of about the biggest special
linen purchase we have ever
made.
This line was a month on
the way. We had everything
planned to give exciting bar
gains enough in February,
but now, in March, we've
concluded to make them
even better, and have cut the
special prices down to figures
that will rouse the people to
a fervor of buying unequaled
in these lines.
Tt seems incredible that in
this day Of rising prices such
merchandise can be sold as
we shall sell this week. Only
this week, remember, for
once exhausted these goods
can not be sold again at such
prices.
Make a careful list of
everything you will need for
a year, in linens and do
mestics bring it to the
store and buy your complete
supplies. For all who miss
this chance lay up for them
selves year long regrets, and
the buyers, year-lOng saw
ings.
