ARREST AMERICANS
THREE TAKEN BY RUSSIAN PO-
LICE AND JAILED.
ONE is NOTED SOCIALIST
American Embassy Attempts Their
Relief, But Is Unable To
Do Anything.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 21.-Wiiliam
English Walling Of Indianapolis, Ind,
his wife and sister-in-law. Miss Rose
Stunsky, were arrested in this city
last night by gendarmes because or
their association with several mem
bers of the Finnish progression party.
A representative of the American en-
bassy appeared in their behalf but he
can take no action until today. Kel
ogg Durlang, another American and a
friend OF Mr.. Walling, who has been
gathering material for lectures, also
was arrested, but later he was re-
leased.
MIR. Walling Is a wealthy socialist.
He is grandson of the late w. H. En-
glish, who was vice presidential candi-
date in 1880. For several years Wall
ing has taken an active interest In
the Russian struggle, and this is the
third time he has visited Russia.
The Firms with whom the Wallings
have been associating also were ar
rested. In this party there are three
men and the wife Of Prof Malm Burg
Of Helsingfors university.
The arrest took place at the Hotel
of this city. The rooms of the Wall
ing party and the Firms were thor
oughly searched, all the baggage OF
the Walling party and the Firms be-
ing opened. The gendarmes took pos
session OF large quantity OF books
and documentary matter.
Mr.. Walling and his wife, who in
known to the literary world as Anna
Stunsky, and Miss Stunsky were
taken to the gendarmes headquarters
for all the prisons were overcrowded.
After much telephoning by the author
tiles, places were finally found for the
prisoners. Walling was sent to the
detention prison, his wife to the
women's prison and Miss Stunsky,
who is apparently regarded as the
most important captive, to the new
Jail recently built for the secret po-
lice.
1t was impossible to learn what the
charge was against the Firms. This
will determine the accusation against
Mr.. Walling, but a member OF the
secret service said the order OF ar
rest had originated in his section and
that the secret service had been shad-
owing Walling for two years. The
police have been instructed to look
also for James M. James, New York
newspaper man who has been over
here for New York weekly and sew
eral socialist papers. He has been
arrested twice during raids on revolu-
tionary gatherings but was released
upon proving that he was present in
his journalistic capacity only.

IMPROVEMENT SOCIETIES.
Organization Essential to Promotion Of
Civic Beauty.

A good live society for precinct,
ward, community or town improve
ment is necessity in this day and
age, says the Los Angeles Times. 1t
matters little how smoothly matters
are going, there is always an added
strength in organization. Nothing can
be SO well done Individually as it may
be collectively. There are few excep-
tons to the general truth of the old
saying, Gin union there is strength"
For every organization of this kind
there is plenty of work to do, both
specific and general In the city it
consists of lettering street car service,
lighting, sewerage, storm drains, OBJ
tanning street and sidewalk improve
mcnt, park area, removal of factories
and other Industries injurious to health
and many matters about which the
ordinary city official will not concern
himself unless confronted with a for
mdable array of members, well organ
lied and determined.
In the lesser centers of population
the field Is still broader, and there is
hardly any limit to its possibilities. In
Il small city a good organization can so
control the municipal government on
strictly nonpartisan lines as to dictate
how every dollar of their money shall
be spent and see to it that full value
is received. With well directed coop
GRAFTON those tasks may first be taken
IN hand that constitute the chief men
ace to the welfare and happiness of all,
and from such a simple beginning the
good work may be extended, with lit
tie cost, but on conservative. economic
lines until the town shall be noted far
and wide for the number and class Of
Its improvements.
Not only will such course be per-
mancnt source Of pride and satisfac.
ton to all its own people, but the town
will attract the most desirable class Of
citizens rs well as prove Il stimulus to
surrounding places.
