Agrarian Commission
Will Be Ordered to Go
on With Distribution
CONFERENCE HELD

ST, PETERSBURG. Aug. 23.-An i'm
portant series of conferences was begun
last night at Peterhof on the question
of immediate distribution of the crown
lands and appanages to the peasants, in
an attempt to find a partial solution of
the agrafian question by measurably
appe2sing the land hunger of the peas
antry. The Government has definitely
decided to proceed with the original
plan outlined in these dispatches on
August for settling the agrarian
question. regardless of Parliament, and
go to the country upon the issue at the
coming election.
The Associated Press was Informed
this afternoon by member of the Cab
met who participated in the Peterhof
conference that the agrarian question
is no longer open. Within fortnight
an imperial ukase will be issued di-
recting the Agrarian Commission to be-
gin the distribution of 100000 dessiat-
ines-about 21a acres-belonging to the
appanages, 1000, 900 dessiatines belong
ing to the crown and 100000 offered
to or purchased through the Peasants
Bank. Only the forests and lands be-
longing to the state. the preservation
of which is considered necessary for the
future agricultural prosperity of the
country, will be reserved. The trans
action will be financed through the
Peasants Bank.
There is great alarm in Jewish cir
cles in Russia on the developments at
.Siedlice, Poland. where events seem to
be shaping up for the outbreak of a
pogrom similar to that at Bialystok.
The developments parallel almost eX-
actly the preliminaries of the Bialystok
massacre. A long series of revolution
ary and terroristic signs have been at
tributed by the police to the Jews,
eliminating, as was the case at Bialy
stok. in the assassination of the Chief
of Police. Goltseff.
The funeral of Goltseff today was the
occasion of a great demonstration by
the Russian population. The condition
of feeling is shown by the refusal of
Goltseff's widow to receive a wreath
sent by Jewish society as mark of
it's disapproval of the assassination. A
similar incident occurred at Bialystok.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


Los ANGELES. Aug. 2S-Mrs. Kath-
crime F1lkins, wife of John Filkins, a
Well-to-do retired merchant. was shot
and killed tonight in the reception hall

whom she secured a divorce three wears
ago and who had repeatedly threatened
her llfe Flanders also attempted to
murder Mr.. Filkins, but the latter es-
capped. Flanders then blew out his own
brains and fell almost upon the body
of his victim
The tragedy was enacted before the
eyes of party of friends whom Mrs.
tllkins was entertaining They were
so terrified that they made no effort to
interfere, and even had they desired to
90 so the murderer acted too quickly
for them
There is abundant evidence that
tIanders deliberately planned the muir
der. He was a dissolute oil well drilIer
ana had been drinking for a week or
more. This afternoon he was in a
downtown saloon and displayed a re-
VolVer, telling those about him that
he intended TO use it soon. No atten-
tion was paid to his threats. however.
Later he sent a note to Mr. Filkins
asking him to meet him at business
house downtown. Filkins had been
warned previously of threats made by
FLANDERS and refused to meet him. At
ter waiting for his intended victim an
hour, or more Flanders went to the Fill
kins home, and, calling his former wife
into the reception hall, shot her down.
fired at Filkins, and then killed himself.
The guests in the parlor were so ter
ror stricken that two of them jumped
through a window, taking sash, glass
and all One of the women tainted and
could not be revived for nearly an hour
and then became hysterical The grief
Of Filkins was pitiable and it is feared

Captain of Detectives Joseph ]. Bur-
nett, who died at Pacific Grove Wednes-
day night, was one of the most beloved
officers of the local Police Department
and man whose integrity was never
challenged In twenty years service.
His death was due primarily to heart
trouble, but this was induced by an act
of heroism performed more than twen-
ty years ago when he was a member
of the Fire Department. On this oc-
casion he was dragged half suffocated
from a burning building and for eight
months lay on a bed of sickness. Ever
since then his lungs and heart had
been affected. and at the early age of
40 years, when he was in his prime

of inestimaple value 10 the department.
he was called.
The fire that seriously impaired his
health and eventually resulted in his
death was the burning of the Crocker
building, on Bush street, in 1885. He,
with three other firemen, entered the
burning building and fought the flames
at close range. All of his companions
were killed, and he was dragged out
more dead than aIIve. The heated air
and dense smoke filled his lungs, pro-
ducing an ailment that kept him to
his bed for long period. When he
was finally able to walk the streets

See Menace in Plan

SAN JOSE. Aug. "a large num-
ber of representative citizens of Santa
Clara Valley and several representa-
tives of the Southern Pacific Company
appeared before the board of engineers
of the War Department this afternoon
for the purpose of discussing the propo-
sition 10 bridge Dumbarton Point. The
board of engineers consists of Colonel
w H. Heuer. Major c. III. Mckinstry
and Captain Amos A Fries.
William Hood, j. c. Stubbs-e Jr.. E

resented the Southern Pacific Company.
President Victor ScheIIer of the Cham
Der of Commerce, R. r. Syer OF the
Merchants Association, :. G. Tompkins
and others appeared for the opposition
to the proposed bridge The hall OF
the Chamber of Commerce was filed to
overflowing by interested listeners,
citizens of the county.
Charles S. Fee Of the Southern Pa
cihc Company in lengthy letter gave
il as his opinion that the bridging OF
the bay would not affect freight rates
for the Santa Clara Valley. He en-
tered into details in explanation of his
position, giving statistics of the amount
of freight handled by steam schooners
and other vessels through the straits.
This traffic, he said. was not cOmpeti-
tive with the railroad. He declared any
fear that the terminal rates of San Jose
would be affected by the building of
the bridge was groundless-
The protest of Henry Rengstoff was
read. He stated that twice in the past
the necessity Of maintaining the open
waterway had been made evident Once
was during the railroad strike several
years ago. when the only traffic with
San Francisco was through the Alviso
Slough. The same necessity was mani
fest during the recent period of stress
growing out of the earthquake.
