ARE FINNs RUsSIANSp
Question UP in Connection With
the Walline Case.

ST. PETERSBURG, December 21.-A
delicate constitutional question has been
raised by the action of the project of
police of st. Petersburg in banishing for
three years to northern Siberia Finnish
editor named Tiederman, who was ar
rested in this city October 20 in company
with Mr.. and Mrs. William English Wall
ing of Indianapolis
The deportation of Tiederman was eff
fected by administrative process without
trial. In his protest, the Finnish attorney
general raises the point that Films in Rus
STA must be considered foreign subjects,
entitled to the usages of all civilized ma
tions, such as regular trial and an OPP
portunity to be heard in their own de-
Tense.
The ostensbIe aim of the deportation
by simple police order, as practiced in
Russia, the attorney general argues, is
the removal of persons dangerous to the
public safety, but this object could have
been attained in Tiederman's case by ex-
pulsion from the country Tiederman's
offense is believed to be the publication
of a series of bitter attacks upon En-
peror Nicholas.
The second Finn who was arrested in
company with the Wallings is being held
for trial on the charge of having taken
part in the big custom house robbery in

Man Is Wearing the Skin of Thirty
Other Men.

NEW YORK, December 21.-Frank
Waters will be able to eat his Christ
mas dinner at home, because thirty
of his friends gave bits of their skin to
help him.
Waters was burned by a premature ex-

of St. Lucis' Roman Catholic Church, and
the young men of the society were asked
to come to Waters assistance.
Thirty were selected. and from the arm
of each was taken a bit of live skin which
was applied to the wounds on Waters
body. 1t took five days to complete the
operation, which has proved entirely sue.
cessful and in day or two Waters will

Hyattsville will ask the next legislature
for authority to levy a special tax to
meet an existing deficit of $1,SO0 in the
towns treasury. This deficit results from
the settlement of damage suit brought
by Mrs. Scaggs, who was injured as the
result of falling into a ravine. Suit was
brought for $500. but the case was COM
promised for $500. Some unexpected re-
pairs and alterations in the towns water
plant and the necessity for creating
sinking fund to pay sewer bonds are
also reasons for the existence of the
deficit. 1t is probable the legislature will
be asked to place more power in the
hands Of the governing body of the town
concerning the fixing of the tax rate.

ALARMS OF FIRE.

There we're two alarms Of fire last
night, both caused by blazes in the same
house. About midnight fire was dis
covered in an unoccupied frame hOuse
on the north side OF Wolfe street, be-
tween Alfred and Patrick. The fire
department responded to the alarm and
soon subdued the flames. About an
hour later another alarm, caused by fire
in the same house, brought out the de-
psktment. The building on the last
occasion was saturated with water, reDd-
ering it impossible for another fire to
occur in the same house for 43 b0urs, &:
least. 1t is believed that the fires were
incendiary.
