The report from St. Louis states
that the news from Des Moines. Ia.

Dillon c. Willoughby, promoter.
charging him with obtaining money,
800, under false pretenses, and that
an investigation of his extensive land
deals there, has made Mayor Wells,
City Comptroller Player and several
real estate dealers and financiers ex-
ceedingly anxious for news of the
movements of Wiloughby, who Is now
thought to be in London with letters
from the mayor and comptroller au.

vestors.
Willoughby has not been indicted
in Denver, adylces from that city
state, but warrants are said to be out
for HIS arrest charging him with land
frauds and beating board bills. He
operated in Denver for several
months as the agent for the Naturita
Valley Land company.

Willoughby disposed of government
land to the amount of 100000 to

when he sailed for London April 8.
Willoughby has in his possession
letters from Mayor Wells and Comp.
troller Player of st. Louis, explaining
what the city will require In the dis.
posal of the bonds to English invest
ors. Mayor Wells said:
when he offered to sell the cIty's
bonds to English investor | thought
It would be a good thing and would
save the city much trouble. I sent
him to the comptroller, and after his
visit there the letter which was given
to him was drawn up. ! do not think
the letter can be construed as an
authorization for Willoughby to sell
bonds, or as an Endorsement or rec
ommendatlon of Willoughby."
Willoughby dropped into st. Louis
early in March with a proposition to
build a great subway. Although he
spent less than three weeks In st.
Louis, he formed acquaintances with
financiers, real estate dealers and
stock and bond brokers that gave
him entree into the exclusive circles
of the city and enabled him to lay be-
fore Mayor Wells and Comptroller
Player a plan to sell the municipal
bonds that were eagerly snapped up
by them. He offered to dispose of
the entire 100000 bond issue to
English investors without charging
fees for his services.
Before leaving st. Louis he boast
ed that he was doing this to gain
favors for his subway scheme. When
he left St. Louis, 1t is said, he left
without paying office rent. Numer-
GUS bills have been sent to his office
for collection. Among them is one
for $50 long distance telephone tolls

Some familiar words illustrate that
confusion between article and sub.

language "a newt" for IAN ewt." "A
nickname" represents IAN ekename, %
an iditional name; and "a nugget" 4"
or "niggot," as 1t used to be written,
was once "a ningot," a wrong version
of IAN ingot." Similarly the phrase
"for the nonce" was originally for
then once"-for that one time, then"
being the dative case of that" On
.he other hand, ian adder" and "an
orange" were "a nadder" and "a
norange" originally. "An apron" also,
has come from "a Eapron" connected
with "napery"O, and "an umpire" is
really "a numpire"-a "non-peer," a

RUSSIA'S FALSE CZAR
IMPosToR SAID. TO BE AT HEAD
OF FIFTY THOUSAND MEN.
Movement Recalls Rebellion of 177S,
Which Is Said to Have Cost 100000
Lives-started in Region Which 10
Now Affected.

The inflamed state of the people of
Russia as well as the credulity of the
Russian character is again manifested
In the army Of $4,000 that has gather.
ed in few days in the volga region
to follow false czar This bogus
emperor, as the dispatches tell, made
his appearance near Penza, in the
heart of the vast region extending
westward from the Volga.
This movement recalls the great
Pugatcheff rebellion of 1878, which is
said to have cost 100000 lives. This
rebellion also occurred in the region
where the false czar started his in
surrection in the last few days.
Yemelyan Ivanovitch Pugatcheff was
born in 1925 and died in Its. The
rebellion he led was known as the
Pugatchefshtchina." He was a Cos.
sack of the Don and fought against
the Prussians in the Seven Years War
and in the campaign against Turkey
in 1869.
On his return from the latter war
he was arrested for helping his broth.
er-in-law to escape across the Don.
Fearing punishment he. ran away to
the Cossacks of the Terek. In the
rand OF hIs refuge ne heard the per.
sistent rumors that Peter III was stu
alive. 1t happened that he bore a
striking resemblance to the murdered
czar. and it occurred to him to i'm.
personate that sovereign. Whether
this Russian soldier dreamed of the
bloody results that followed this i'm
personation is doubtful, but he boldly
annoNnced that he was Peter III and
issued a proclamation in the name of
that sovereign in 1773, declaring thar
he would dethrone Catherine II and
again occupy the throne.
The rebellion began in the same
year. He attached to his cause the
Raskolniks, whose religion he EN-.
braced, and won over several Finnish
and Tatar tribes and thousands of the
peasantry.
After the capture of many fortresses
on the Ural and the Don, Orenburg
among them, he marched his army
against Moscow. At crucial time
he was sold by some OF his compan.
ions for 100000 rubles and was cap
tured. After his trial he was executed
In Moscow. His execution ended ths
rebellion, which had been one of the
bloodiest Of its kind in history.
