A COLOSSAL SWINDLE.

The Moscow police are only on the
threshold of their investigation Of the
fraudulent postage stamp business for
which 80 persons were yesterday re-
ported as having been arrested. 1t ia
believed that the operations, which con-
sisted 10 the systematic traffic In cancel
ed stamps, will develop into one OF the
most colossal swindles of recent times 10
Russia. The figures already reported OF
six million stamps cover only the sales
at Moscow for three months.
The operations OF the swindlers have
already been traced back over year.
Two well-known merchants Of Moscow
are among those arrested. The business
was so lucrative that rival organiEa-
tion recently entered the field at Moscow
and began to cut prices, which led to the
discovery of the swindle.
The Cancelled stamps were procured
through members of an organization
posing as philsteltsts, we're sent to q

and sold through accomplices In the

by wholesale. The baud tried last sum-
mer to interest q revolutionary organi-
zstion by offering a commission on sales,
but the offer was refused.

COME OUT
OF THAT!
This was the Command Given
by a Horsewhipper.
AFFAIR IS A MYSTERY
No One Knew Any of the
Principals.
Fracas Occurs on West Center Street
Saturday Night About Nine
O'clock.

Business men and few others, who
happened TO be on the street In the vi
cinity of Prospect and Center streets,
about nine o'clock Saturday evening
are very much mystified over little
tfracas in which two men and a like
number of women were principals and
sole actors
AT about the hour mentioned
buggy containing two men and a
woman drove up in front OF the Ma
rion Clothing and Cloak company's
store. The second woman in the af-
fair was standing on the sidewalk.
evidently expecting their arrival. She
went toward the buggy and at the
same time drew horse whip from
under her light wrap and with the
command, Come out OF that" she
flourished the weapon which proves
very formidable in the hands of some
women. The whip swished through the
lair and fell upon the face OF one OF
the men. cutting a nice little cash.
IAnother blow, not so well aimed, fell
buggy, cutting a cash which was a
mate for the one which had been in
flIcted in the cheek of the man. The
fire appeared to be too strong for the
woman and she promptly obeyed the
command, and "came out of It,.
Those WHO witnessed the affray eS-
pected to see a real lively set-to and
were greatly surprised to see the
woman walk away unmolested, while
the men whirled the horse and drove
away on Center street at good pace
The spectators we're still farther
mystifled when a few minutes later
they saw the woman WHO had been
struck by the whip return, lock arms
with the woman who hgd the whip
and walk away as chummy as you
please.
Speculation is ri'e Is to what tho
whole affair meant and who the per-
sons were.

would-be citizens were ready to an
swer to statutory posers put by AS
sistant United states District Attor-

the grind was not as rapid as usual
was because the applicants appeared
to be more obtuse than usual.
One OF the would-be citizens was
Pietro Parrillo, Of "a Drift street. who
was asked how many political parties
there are in the United States.
"Only one, and that Is Roosevelt's."
wa his calm reply.
who makes the laws of the State

Governor Fort and MI. 'Chariey
Mason was the answer.
When asked how many United states
senators each State has, he remarked
that they had as many as they wanted
from one up" as he put It.
Antonio Ferrarri. who lives In the
same block with Pietro, was likewise
all confused in trying to ride h gov

What is Congress?" he was asked
Yes, SIR" was the vague response.
How many States are there In tho

what is the length of the Prest'

1t was because of such as these thai
only eight new citizens were enrolled
