actors. and actresses without discrimi-
nation. Those who had lines % speak
we're the most frequently hit. The cur
tain was rung down, but the crowd went
around 10 the stsEe door. The police
were called.
About this time Percy L. Garry, OF

Russia Alarmed Over Work
of Bandits Who Control
Cities.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. e.-Russia Is
considering the early occupation OF
north Persia as the only means Of
stamping out anarchy and restoring
commercial stability.
Russia's interests in the disturbed ter
ritory are extensive, and its citizens are
complaining, not only Of enormous
financial losses as a result Of the con-
Etant disturbances, but in many cases
Of personal violence at the outlaws
hands.
Bandits are in complete control of the
roads leading to the principal cities;
goods. moneys, and the mails are being
constantly stolen. travellers held for
ransom, and practically no one allowed
to travel without paying tribute to the
&c bier bands.
The cities are headquarters for an
Grchistic organizations. which not only
cooperate with the highwaymen. but
batch numberless anarchist plots
against officials in Russia, and even
more distant countries, as well as
against those In their own country.

LABOR WORLD PEACE,
FAIRBANKS PREDICTION

ELKINS, w. Va, Oct AT the third
annual meeting Of the West Virginia
Board OF Trade. Vice President Fair
banks was the principal speaker. and ne
confined his remarks chiefly TO the labor
question and the development Of navi-
gable streams. He declared that there
is a growing tendency among capital
and labor to reach a mutual halfway
point which will make for lasing peace
in the labor world. He said he looked
forward to the day when strikes and
lOCkouts would be a thing of the past
Turning to the subject of transporta-
ton. the Vice President declared that
the rapid growth of the railroads had.
temporarily, diverted attention from the
interior waterways. but now with the
constant recurring congestion of traffic,
there has been an awakening to the adj
vantages of river navigation. He con-
cluded by saying that II is a question
for the National Government and one
that should be dealt With at once.
