Police Slain.

Moscow, Russia.-A number OF po-
licemen, including Baron Cote, chief
of the secret political police, and Col.
Muraki, we're killed Saturday in a
clash with revolutionists in a villa
near this city.
Troops are now on the scene.
Only meager accounts of the fight
ing have been received here and the
exact casualties are unknown. 1t is
known that several revolutionists
have been killed. The villa where the
fighting took place is on Elk Island
in the river near MOSCOW, and was the
scene of a secret meeting of revolu-
tionists, which police tried to break
up. The revolutionists fired on the
police from ~barricaded windows.
Hastily retreating, the police sent
in a call for a company of infantry.
When this arrived another advance
on the villa was made, the revolution
lists again opening a deadly fire, in
which Cote and Murakia were slain.

BOARD MEMBER DEFENDS VETS.
Says That Whiskey Consumed
Amounts to One Drink a Day.

Former State Senator G. H. Vandiver
of Higginsville, Mo-, a member Of the
Board of Managers of the Confederate
Soldiers Home at that place, says that
the report that the 300 old veterans Of
the home consume sixty gallons of
whiskey a month, is untrue.
What they do drink, and that in
cludes the whiskey used in the
hospital, is about three barrels annual
ly," he said. THAT would be about $50
gallons of whiskey and would mean
less than half gallon for each person.
That would mean probably n little
eye opener a day. When the junket-
ing committee came there one of the
members said we were using too much
whiskey, but l told him he was mis-
taken. Those old fellows need a little
nip now and then to brace them up,
and the state can afford to give it to
them.

"A British peer advocates temporary
confiscation of a car for automobile
speeding, The remedy is, in the opin-
ION of the Baltimore American, rather
drastic, but it is evident from the in
creasing number of accidents and the
disregard for life and limb manifested
by the speed maniacs that something
must be done in the way of punitive
legislation. The present system of
fines is wholly inadequate; in fact, they
constitute but the smallest part of the
running expenses of motoring, and
plainly are so regarded.

AS a chain is no stronger than its

use in passing a restrictive law in one
