RUSSIAN STUDENTS AT
BERLIN ARRESTED

London. May 25.-The Berlin correspond
ent of the Daily Mail says the arrest OK
35 Russian students here was the result
of accumulated evidence that they were
associated with a Russo-German Anarch-
istic plot TO assassinate the Kaiser. De-
finite proofs were found that they had
been unduly concerning themselves with
the person and the movements OF the en-
peror.
Three OF the students taken into custody
were women. twenty-five have since been
released upon the establishment OF their
comparative innocence. Six OF the others
were expelled from the country. The po-
lice had to act harshly in carrying out the
arrests, as one man and a woman made
desperate efforts 10 escape.
The correspondent finds sem-official
confirmation OF the plot against the Kali
ser I'm n statement printed I'm the Cologne
Gazette that the action OF the police was
not connected with the internal affairs OF
Russia. but was wholly a measure OF
safety. which was found necessary 10

Connecticut. He spoke here yesterday
about the wickedness OF the state,
which he raid. was not quite as bad
as that OF New York and Pennsylvania.
He added;
Suppose we start in to change
things. The thing that makes IL hard
to bring our ideas OF reform TO pass
Is the extraordinary bad habit of
Connecticut men not TO re-elect a good
man 10 the general assembly. Another
great thing that hampers reform is the
inability TO get light on what Is going
on. Newspapers and others have the
greatest difficulty in finding out what
is bing done in committees:
Another thing that hampers reform
is the machine. The Connecticut ma
chine is made different from the ma
chimes of other states. You are doubt
less surprised when you hear far ahead
OF a state convention that John Smith
will be nominated for governor. You
know there is no popular demand for
Smith, but you see him nominated.
The question Ia, What are you going
TO do In one state they tried a peoples
lobby and hired lawyers TO watch leg
islation; but It didn't succeed. Numsr-
Gus attempts have been made, but one
effort TO reform things through the
aid OF publicity was first TO arouse
the people and the Met In the light

done I'm the committees an deverything
that is OF interest at the legislature
