 The picture is rather of a long haired man with a couple of anxious bombs in his hands. Yet Savitsky has been known for some years as the Robin Hood of the Russian Revolution, and his deeds have been as picturesque as they have been manifold. He was killed by therural guards near Mohiley the other day, and his death will be mourned by the peasantry of that section. Savit- sky was a high school student when he took to the road and began his series of daredevil escapades, which have had the police of the provinces of Tchernigov and Mohiley on the verge of nervous prostration for the past few years, and which have kept the St Petersburg clubs in roars of laughter. He would go to any length land take any risk, to make a police official look like fool, but his chief aim in life appeared to be the re- l lieving of the rich from their surplus

LEVER RESOLUTION PASSED.
1t Will Supply Cotton Growers With
Valuable Information.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Congressman
Levers joint resolution providing for
the collecting and publishing Of addi-
tional statistics concerning the
amount Of baled cotton on hand at
given periods has been passed by the
senate. and has now gone to the pres
ident for his signature. This resolu-
tion means as much to the farmer of
the South as any legislation recently
enacted since it supplies him with
the amount OF baled cotton being held
In the various mills of the country
just AS the buyers now obtain the
amount of the crop being raised. 1t
gives the farmer an equal amount of
information, with reference to the de-
mand; that the buyer now, has with
respect to- the supply. Speaking of
the resolution, Mr.. Lever said:
This resolution will eliminate to
some extent the feature OF speculation
and gambling in cotton, in my judg-
ment, and will give to both parties,
the buyer and the seller, a square deal
at the hands of the government, as
far as the statistics for cotton go than
he has ever had, and this is the entire
extent of my resolution"
