DENVER, Col. July l0-A little baby
boy was left at the door OF Mr.. and
Mrs. +. c. Shutter, at the Mozart

early in the morning. A note was
pinned 10 the ragged blanket in which
the baby was rolled. and printed In
pencil was the message Please give
me a good home. l was born July l,

At o'clock Mr.. Shutter was sit

woman with blonde hair and fair
complexion, come down the street
with a bundle that looked as II it
might be laundry He paid little at
tention TO her, and soon saw her go
ing back over the same road, without
her bundle.
There was a telephone call for Mrs.
Shutter few minutes later. and
when she hurried TO the phone she
saw bundle at the side OF her door.
but she was in too great hurry to
examine it. -
rs this room six?" asked femin-
Inc voice over the phone.
Yes, what is it,"
But there was no answer. and the
woman. who was probably the mother
OF the doorstep baby, hung up the re-
ceiver
Il left the telephone and saw the
bundle" said Mrs Shutter. Il put
my foot under It lightly and felt that
II was heavy. Leaning down / saw
a little red face sticking out, and |
shrieked to my husband-'It's a baby,

AT first Mr. Shutter wouldn't be-
lieve II, and when he saw II he yelled
at me not to take II IN. TO leave II
there He leaned down and took an
other look at It, and said earnestly,
oh, that wouldn't be right, we must
take II In Now he Is very excited
over 1t and we both want to keep II
We will give II a good home"
A five-cent calico, stiff and scratchy,
and made very plainly. served as
dress for the baby. The little hands
hung out pathetically from the stif
ruffle OF the little sleeves. but the baoy
slept quietly in spite CT the stiffness.
The new baby is being fused over
and cared for tenderiy. Mrs. Smutzer
thinks the parents are very poor rath-
er than heartless. and that they knew
she would give the child good homo.

RUSSIA INVOLVED
IN HUGE SCANDAL
Chief of~Czar's Secret Police, Deco
rated With Legion of Honor,
Traitor, Clemenceau Says.

\ ST. PETERSBURG. July 10 "A dip
lomatic incident that threatens 10 as
sumo grave proportions is growing out
OF the announcement OF Prime Min-
lister Clemenceau. OF France. that Gen
Michael Landesen. chief Of the Rus
quarters in Paris, is really a Russian
anarchist, Hekkelmann. who was SEN
fenced 10 term OF imprisonment FOR
completely In the plot TO kill Car
Alexander during his visit to France
In 1890.
The French officials have taken up
attitude that Landesen is another
Axef-a northumberland police
agent-and that the Russian govern
uent retained him in Paris for the
purpose OF catching his own former
associates. The French authorities
have taken the matter very seriously
and the French ambassador here either
already has or is about TO make
foi NAL demand on the Russian for
eign Office for an explanation. The
points particularly pressed IN this de
mand will be the fact thai Russia per
suaded France 10 bestow knighthood
upon l>sndesen, a traitor and spy, ana
TO make him an officer III the Legion
OF Honor, the mark Of respect most
dear to the French nation.
The foreign office is much perturoed
over the affair as IL now appears very
likely that the scandal will proven.
the intended visit OF the car to France
during his European tour. II will at
least prevent any official reception OF
Nicholas by President Falleries.
The affair may, when fully develop
ed. involve England in the trouble,
as revelations in Paris point TO the
fact that the Russia-English incident
of Dogger Banks, when Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's feet fired upon fleet OF
British tTawlers, was due 10 bogus re-
ports circulated by Landesen, who was
aboard the Esmeralda OF the Russian
feet and who originated the rumor
that japanese torpedo boats were In
the North Sea.
Landesen is understood to be living
privately in London.
PARIS, July 10.-Russian foreign Sc
cret police will probably be expelled
from France asa esalt-o -the-dts--
covery that Gen Landesen, chief OF
the service. Is a former anarchist.
Feeling runs very high over the ex-
posture made by Minister Clemenceau
and many are agitating for the I'M
mediate expulsion of the Russian 20.
lice agents. Ii is understood that the
government will take up the matter in
the chamber of deputies just as soon
as an answer is made by Russia TO
the demand for an explanation OF the
affair which Is being framed by the
French ambassador at st. Petersburg
The feature OF the incident which
has aroused French people particularly
Is that Landesen, who Is chevalier
of the Legion of Honor, was to have
been an officer OF the Legion during
the coming visit OF the car. The
cars visit Is now matter entirely
OF speculation and it Is generally be-
heved that he will not come to France.

French Naval Scandal.

PARIS, May 3.-Further regrettabIe
revelations have been made concern
ing the facts brought to light by the
committee appointed to inquire into
the state of the Navy.
A large part of the Mediterranean
squadron, which is the first and al
most only line of French naval de-
Tense, is deficient in naval armament,
and is also without full crews.
The transport and hospital depart
ment of the navy is absolutely defee-
tive and inadequate.
Danger exists on board certain war
ships on account of faulty construc-
ton of the big gun turrets.
The shortage of men averages about
100 on an average crew of 700. The
total deficiency amounts to 5000, but
this is scarcely due to a want of naval
recruits, since about $4,000 men are
available for manning the fleet.
The shortage is all the more re-
markable since the French fleet today
is no larger than it was several years
ago, the disasters to the Scully, the
Jean Bart and the Jena having neu-
tralized the addition of new ships
One of the last and most important
dispositions received by the committee
of inquiry was that of a retired off,
