MURDER POLICE CHIEF.
Head Of st. Petersburg Secret Service
Killed by Bomb.


81 Petersburg. Dec ss-CoIoneI Karpo~
chief of the secret police OF -. Peters
burg. was assassinated early today lie
had been enticed 10 a modest apartment in
a remote street OF the VibOrg district and
there was blown 70 pieces BY A bomb ex-
ploded supposedly BY his host. one Michael
Nosskressensky. who had leased the rooms
few days before
The murderer rushed into the street fol
lowing the -plosion and vas captured
An assistant Of karpofs who had accom-
panied him was severely injured Ksr-
poH was appointed from Raku where he
had been chief Of the secret police. There
have been several convictions OF bomb
makers recently
The assassination Of Colonel Karpof has
caused the greatest sensation here. The
mystery is still unexplained bur the popu-
larly credited theory is that Karpof was
engaged in the manufacture Of false evi-
dence. and that while Vosskressensky was
in the police chiefs pay he was stimuli
taneously plotting In behalf OF the revo-
lutionary faction
II appears that after Karpo6 entered the
room VOsskressensky went outside on the
preteXt Of examining the electric bell. which
failed 10 act II Is supposed that he then
connected the wires which exploded the
bomb
The matter came up in the Douns to-
night NJ Milulor. leader of the Consti-
tutional Democrats. and NJ Roditcheff sup
porting an Interpolation. which suggested
that the affair was the work OF agents

IN OLD SPORT
Tells ANOTHER
GOOD STORY

well, sir, said the old sport, as
he slipped a Scotch highball, you
were talking the other day about
the justice courts of this state. Let
me tell you about a case that came
under my observation some time ago
in what is now the city of Yering-
ton. 1t was a good many years ago
that the legislature Of Nevada passed
a law that the saloons would have
to close their places of business at
IL O'Clock midnight. The saloon
men of Yerington, or Pizen Switch,
as it was called in Inose days, saw
fit to disregard the law. To test the
case, saloon man was arrested for
violation of the statute. The case
came up regularly for hearing before
the justice of the peace of the town
of Yerington. You will understand
that the justice court was absolutely
without jurisdiction in the premises,
but nevertheless the evidence in the
case was presenteu and the argu.
ments heard. The judge, who was
himself a confirmed drinker, listen
ed attentively to the evidence and
the arguments and when his verdict
script that the evidence was insult
ficient to support the claim of the
reformers. Said he: so far as the
evidence adduced in this case is con-
cerned, it is the opinion of this court
that the law declaring the saloons of
this state must close, is unconstitp-
floral. Consequently, it is the opin-
ion of this court that the saloons
may stay open as long as they
please
Some one butted in at this juno
ture. He had studied law he said in
the office of Torreyson and Summer
field. Torreyson was at one time the
best liked man in this state. He was
elected to the attorney generalshir
by handsome majority. 1t was he
who graduated at Yale in the fam.
Gus class of rs, among the others
of whom were President Taft and
Judge Addison Potter, who for many
year preceding his death was private
secretary to Mckinley. Torreysor
was very fond of good story HI
used to tell one that made the aver
age layman laugh. 1t went some
thing like this: A Jew, who was il
very Strengthened circumstances, Sc

After he had ignited the blaze, h,
ran to his home and crawled in bed
AS soon as the alarm was turned in
he jumped from his resting plac,
and ran to the scene of the fire
which, strange to relate, happene,
to be his place of business. He said
as he stood in front of the burnin,
structure wringing his hands: Go,
Almighty, strike me dead
THE words were no more thai
out of his mouth when a large bricl
fell from the cornice of the buildin
and striking the Jew on the hea,
knocked him to the ground. Look
