MERRY NUNS IN RUSSIA
CAUSE INVESTIGATION
PETERSBURG,

ST. PETERSBURG, May 25. -
Rumors of worldly goings-on in the
converts and monasteries of the Rus
sian orthodox (Greek) church have been
so precise and persistent that the gov
ernment has been forced to take notice
of them. By direction of Premier Stoly-
pin, an imperial commission has begun
an investigation.
Even Father John of Cronstadt, the
wonderworking Russian priest, is
drawn into the net. In some way not
at present known he has become as
sociated with convent of nuns out
side this city. He collected large sums
for it, often visited the sisters, and was
generally responsible for it in the eyes
OF the public The convent confessor,
Father Vladimir, nominee, of Father
Johns, suspected of numerous irregu-
larities in the convent, has been lodged
in monastery prison pending inquiries
by the holy synod.
It seems that while here he made a
clean breast of his share in the pro-
ceedings and implicated Father John.
The prioress, Mother Angelina, is be-
lieved to be a woman of great talent,
but of an adventurous past. Accord
ing to the penitent Father Vladimir,
she was not as strict as she was sup
posed to he. He tells stories of merri-
ment within the convent walls that are
we'll nigh incredible.
The uuestion the synod is now in
vestigating is whether Father John
participated in any improprieties.

SMALL OFFENDERS APPEAR IN
COURT
Judge Rose Displays Great Kindness
in Handling Erring Boys Who
Hung Aronud Boxing Pa
viion at Night

Lured by the same lust of battle tha'
stirred the hearts of their primeval an
cestors nineteen lads went to see OF
rather to discover if they could see the
prize fight at Maud Junction Friday
night without paying the price of ad-
mission.
Armed with all the majesty OF a
twentieth century civilization ano
backed by the strong arm of the local
curfew ordinance, Sergeant Long
swooped down upon the battle stirred
youths about $3.50 o'clock and took them
to the police station.
Yesterday morning the venturesome
boys were brought into Judge Rose
court for trial. There were tall boys
and short boys, black-headed Mexicans
mingled with faxen-haired Germans
and red-headed Irishmen. The court
looked like a school room, the only
difference being that the pupils were
interested IN their surroundings.
The boys snickered at the bald head
of the bailiff and laughed with glee
when a venturesome fly crawled over
the shiny head. The bailiff froWned, the
bows suddenly became silent and rubbed
their shins vigorously.
Judge Rose looked the boys over with
his usual kindly smile and 1.-The wheels
of Justice" began to move.

ROYS GIVEN CHOICE OF LOSS OF
VACATION OR OBEY CURFEW LAW

for he once fought Jim Jeffries) looked
guilty himself as he testified against
the little mite of humanity looking at
him with open mouth. 1t was comedy
for the grown-ups, but not for the
urchin. To him the tragedy OF his
offense was intense.
The Justice assumed a solemn face
and told the boy he must not be found
on the streets again after 9 o'clock at
night, but must De ONE in his little
bed. Otherwise if he came up again an
awful calamity would befall him-he
would be deprived of his summer vaca-
ton. The long summer days when
other boys were burning their bare feet
on dusty roads or swimming in the
cool ocean would be sad for him, for
the Justice said he would send him to
the detention home for the entire sum-
mer.
Promises to Be Good
The little face twitched and the blue
eyes became moist. What boy does not
love to roam in the country with
sling shot, barefoot and bare-headed,
as soon as the dull school room Is
closed?
"No, sir; I'll be home after this if
you let me go this time" The childish
treble could hardly be heard. The blue
eyes of the stern 60 judge twinkled as
the boy grabbed his hat and fled from
the majesty of the law.
1t was the ame with each one. Each
was told not to repeat the offense or
he would be sent to the detention home.
And they all promised never, @ever to
do it again."
One little fellow said he worked.
There were no terrors in the detention
home for him, for "he never had a
vacation" The justice was perplexed
Then he decided to fine the boy If he
did it again. The judge did not like to
take any hard-earned dollars from the
worthy son of toll, bl "the law must
be obeyed.'
The sentence was suspended in six
teen cases, three were dismissed. 20,
boys, you can stay out at night and
spend three months inside of four
walls or stay in after 9 o'clock and
spend three months in natures wilds.
Justice Rose gives you your choice.
