The Roumanian Revolt.

Bucharest, Roumanis, April Upon
the course OF the government in the next
few days practically depends whether
or not the revolution started by the
peasants Is to sweep over the whole
country. Reused by couriers sent out
by the anarchistic organization the
peasants are prepared TO inaugurste q
general uprising If there are further
brutalities by the troops.
Government advices today are that
the situation is quieting down. There
have been fresh disturbances in several
prosinces, but they are not SIS dangerous
as last weeks outbreaks. Despite opti-
mistic statements by government OFF,
cisls, 1t Ia felt that the revolutionary
sgitators are only waiting further re-
pressive measures by the government to
rouse the peasants to general attacks oD
the troops. II this Is done civil var II
almost certain to result on grand scale.
Almost the entire province OF Kralova
is practically in the control OF rIotous
peasants. The commupes Of Puertzini
and Pegani are in open revolt and fresh
disturbances have occurred 10 Moldsvia
and Putna.
In some Of the provinces the ringlead-
ers who organized the revolt have been
captured. This has delayed the upris-
ing somewhat. New leaders are pre-
pared to take the places Of men under
arrest II 1t jsdecided to start new revolts.

The Soldiers at the Jail.

What IS the occasion OF the ordering
out OF q company Of soldiers from Fred
ericksburg in connection with the trial
OF this negro in Alexandra? This is a
question being asked by every one in this.
community. It is simple case Of muir
der. No woman was involved, the
usual ground which threatens iynchiug.
1t ia possible that the people Of Ales-
andria did intend TO lynch this negro for
he committing Of IN ordinary murder,
but we will not believe ii until there Ia
better evidence than VIC have yet. The
press OF this community had no in,i-
nation Of it. The calling out Of these
troops Is 6 reflection upon Alexandria
city. II calls for an explanation. Is it
true that man who commits murder
10 Alexandria city can not have fair
trial9 Ii not, why are these troops
called out, and the State put TO such q
great expense? Have the Alexandria
city papers any opinion upon so import
ant subjecI? The only interest 10 this
countg concerning the matter arises from
the fact that body of troops has been
ordered into ii surrounding our county
Jail to "protect" lone darkey for
having murdered somebody. -lCJnnty

road irainmen and conductors In an Of.
fort to bring about a joint conference be-

The Thaw Case


New York, April l.-While Harry
Thaw is 70 confident he will be free BY
next Sunday, that he has planned with
Evelyn Nesbii Thaw how they will take
dinner together on that day, District
Attorney Jerome spent today putting in
shape the evidence be hopes TO produce
before the lunacy commission tomorrow
t, convince the BOARD of Ihsw's In
sanity.
The recess taken By the commissioners
until tomorrow gave him the opportunity
to do this. Jerome hopes the decision
OF The board to allow his experts to tes-
lily as TO their observation of Thaw 10
court and the evidence they beard will
enable him to convince the members that
Ma,teawan is theproper place for Thaw.
DR.. Hamilton he relies upon az the
chief witoess to prove Thaw's mental
unsoundness.
Thsw's lawyers let 1t be known today
that tney have no iuteotion OF calling In
their experts to Offset those OF The Dis
tuct Attorney. Tbey are confident that
the STATES alieniss will be held down
closely TO tell just what they saw and
heard. They are preparing to resume
the interrupted trial before the week Is
over.
In case the lunacy board shuts out
much Of his expert testimony and then
finds Thsw sane jerome may make an
effort to have the present trial declared
a mistrial. He could apply for writ oil
prohibition to the court of appeals.
Il is pointed out by the Thaw lawyers,
however, that Jerome will offer strong
reason, such az that a juror has been
tempered with, to have the higher court
stop the trial which has cost 80 much
money and taken 80 many weeks and
they Insist Jerome can make no showing
which would induce the court OF appeals
10 take such action.
The Thaw jury met for few moments
this morning and were then excused un'
Ill 1920 O'Clock Thursday morning.
The proceedings we're purely formal.
Thaw came into court looking bright
and cheerful. Then Justice Fitzgerald
excused the men, giving the usual ad-
monition to them.
Thaw was led back to the prison where
Evelyn was waiting. She went over the
bridge of sighs with him 10 the Tombs.
Thaw's attorneys we're we'll pleased
with the calling of the jurors sgsin on
Thursday. They believe this means the
commission will file its report by that
time.
II the trial is resumed on Thursday II
ia believed it will be wound up aud given
TO the jury by Saturday night at the
latest.
This afternoon Detective Reardon, Of
District Attorney Jsrome's staff, served
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw with q subpoeus
| just as she was leaving the Tombs prison
after a visit with her husband.
II is said that while 1t is not part OF
the plan of the District Attorney TO pu
Mrs. Thaw on the stand again, it is bis
purpose 10 keep her out Of the courI
room during the remainder Of the hear
ing in order that she may not affect The

There Is bad blood between the SOL

A serious clash may come at any time

Another attempt at self-goVernment at
this time must fell, they argue lift is

prosperity Will be killed. But the rank

say, means to establish negro rule in
