T4hl Sl>ANS SECHET SESSION
Dissolution Of Parliament Was Re-
eeived Quietly and With Almost an
Entire Absence Of Outward Demon.
STATIONS.
St. Petersburg, June 1S.--The
chances OF a proclamation of gener-
~ strike in answer TO the govern
nent's coup d'etat are steadily lessen
ing. The question is now under dis
pussion at a secret conference Of the
central committee of the social dem
ocrats which is being held in Finland +,
but strong current OF opposition is
known to prevail, not only on the
part Of the medorate leaders, but also
among the adherents of the radical
majority.
A fraction Of the Moderate urged
that the government Is now so strong
" entrenched that a strike would be
futile and only weaken the prestige
Of the party and the rank and file Of
the Industrial proloetariat generally in
= series of reprlsals and immense
pecuniary losses.
The conference, which Is attended
by al the members of the lower house
who have not been addressed proba-
bly, will content itself WITH issuing a
series Of proclamat1ons addressed to
the peasantry, the army and navy
and the worldngmen accusing the gov
eminent OF violating faith with the
country by altering the election law
IA defense OF imperial pledges and APP
pealing to the masses 10 continue to
sight to overthrow the existing re-
sime.
The social revolutlon1sts at con-
ference declared against the proposed
strike and appointed committee TO
draft an address to the peasantry, the
army and navy and the wOrklugmen.
The National Socialist and group OF
toll members are also contemplating
the Issuance of notices to their
constituents.
Kilograms from practically every
city IN the empire announce that the
news OF the dissolution of parliament
was received quietly 'and with almost
an entire absence OF demonstrations
Even at Odessa and Kiey no disturb
ances occurred. The project of po-
lice OF Kiev issued orders that no
demonstrations by revolutionists be
allowed, and that no public discussion
OF the dissolution of parliament be
permitted.
The course OF General Dracheffstao,
the project of police OF ST. Petersburg,
ID prohibiting the hostile criticism OF
the government, was followed almost
universally by the governor generals
throughout Russia. completely mug
sling the Liberal press.

William THOMAS ON TRIAL FOR LIFE
FOR KILLING OF MAXEY SCOFIELD

was about foot or eighteen inches
from 1t, instead OF protruding from
the pocket of the dead man.
Evidence Struck.
Miss Alice Starting was called to
the stand by the State. Solicitor
Rivers asked her If she had heard
Thomas make any threat against SEQ
field prior to the killing. Defendants
counsel objected, but objection was
overruled and exception noted. Miss
Starring then said that about three
weeks before the killing she heard
Thomas say he expected there might
be trouble between him and Scofeld.
Defendants counsel then moved to
strike the testimony OF this witness,
on tn. ground that it was too vague.
Judge Wills granted the motion
without further argument, and Miss
Starting was excused.
M. T. Waters
Testified that he reached the body
of Scoheld from three to ten minutes
after the shooting, being about seven
ty-five yards from the scene of the
killing He found scofleld fiat ON, his
back his arms outstretched and pistol
protruding from pocket. Several peo-
pie were around the body when he
arrived. He was constable of the dis
trict and had been sent for by the
defendant.
Justice Of Peace Testifies.
S. o. Barron, justice of the peace
for the Bell district, was sworn. He
found the body of deceased in same
position as Constable Waters said he
found it, also the pistol
Justice Barron said he did not know
whether defendant had sent for him
or not, that Constable Waters asked
him to so along. Thomas said to
him that he was not trying to get
away and wanted the matter settled
at once.
The State Rests.
AT this point Solicitor Rivers held
an exceedingly brief consultation
with his assistant, Col c. Matheson,
and announced that "the State rests"
Judge sgd l.. Carter then stated to
the court that he desired a few
moments In which to consult with his
associates, Congressman Frank Clark,
Col. b. A. Thrasher and Col. Evans
Halle. which was granted and the at
torneys retired with their client to
one OF the ante rooms.
Upon returning from their consul
tation counsel for defense called
Herbert Whitsheld 4
AS their first witness, who testified
that he resided at Bell on the day Of
the killing Of scofeld by Thomas.
Witness was at his grandmOther's, in
plain view OF defendants house, when
the tragedy occurred. He could hear
the conversation between Thomas and
scofield, but could not hear all that I
was said. He saw Maxey Seoheld 1
standing near Thomas gate and saw (
