SAMUEL LEFF's THRILLING Es
 CAPE FROM RUSSIA.
Fugitive Arrives Safe in New York City, Thanks to Effort of Brave Woman Who Planned Daring
 Flight.

New York.-"The cunning and yigf- lance of the Russian soldiers who guard the prisoners in the Siberian mines may be 14-karat, but they couldn't outwit the shrewdness of a little woman who aided me to escape Imprisonment there-a little woman who Is now my wife and will join me here"
 Samuel Leff, 24 years old, now stop. ping on East One Hundred and Third street, thus started the story of his thrilling escape to reporter.
 T was a student of chemistry and engineering in college at Barastow," he said. Nearly all the students there had witnessed outrages commit ted by the czar's Cossacks. Jewish women and children were shot down in the street. There was no thought of liberty or even of common humanity among those soldiers, and many of us harbored resentment against them. "One day, when the soldiers had aimed their guns at a group of women and children, I sprang forward and begged in Gods name that no shots be fired. I was promptly arrested and l thrown into a dirty hole which the officials genially called a cell
 Then I was sent to Siberia. That was in 1906.
 Miss Mary Rittinger was accus- toned to bring food to the political l prisoners, of whom was one. Mary and fell in love. The guards did not know this. Mary was too shrewd for them. She matched out plot with a student friend of mine, also prisoner, whereby one night we stealthily got ever the wall of the prison and got some distance away.
 We were caught-that student friend and myself-and my friend was shot by the guards. I was taken back l to prison and tortured. I will not at tempt to describe how those soldiers treated me Just look at me. I guess that'll be enough evidence" The scars and emaciated appearance of the man seemed to bear out his statement
 Mary and were married just after my first unsuccessful attempt to gain liberty. We were married quietly. She also was arrested. and luckily Sent to the same part of Siberia where the Russians sent me.
 "One day we were sent to pick wood in a forest. We had horses to carry the wood. When the guards were not on the alert we rode away on the ani- mals and finally arrived at town 300 miles distant, where we had friends
 "On that awful trip, through snow. slush, water and mud, we nearly starved. My wife and had to go without food. We reached Minsk, where we met revolutionists who heard our story and cared for us. Then my wife. and separated. she taking a different route, but bound for New York, where also have friends. My wife reached Austria, l learned, after an exciting rush across from Minsk.

 The doctor smiled quizzically. What do you understand by double entry bookkeeping, Jim?"
 Jim stared at the doctor. astonished, his big slothful brown eyes opening wide as he ran his hand through his shock of whitening brown hair. , Well. do tell, doctor, don't you know?

IMPORTANT RATE DECISION.
commerce Commission Decides chics.
 go-Milwaukee Case.


 Washington. Mar 13.--Merchants of MiiwauKee are given the benefit of as favorable through rates on grain as those of Chicago. in a decision handed down Thursday by the Interstate Com. merce commission. The case was that or the Milwaukee Chamber of Com. merce against the Chicago, Rock IS. land < Pacific Railway company and others. .'g , rs
 The decision affects every railroad ln the United States. The commis- sion says:
 Tn claiming that as Chicago affords as good market for grain as does Milwaukee, the principal defendant may therefore lawfullys so adjust It's rate schedules as to force the grain to Chicago, the defendant overlooks the right of the shipper to choose his own market and to do business where ne prefers or finds it more advantage ous to carry 1t on. It also oyerlooks the chief function of "a common ear- Tier. svhichsis, to carry at reasonable rates the traffic that is rendered to it
 A carrier has no right to insiststhat { shipment shall goftossthe end of its rails if the shipper desires it to. he di. Terted at an Intermediate point to an. other market off it's rails. Nor may a carrier accomplish >thasessFesHlts- indi 'reetiyeby any unreasonable adjustment Of its rate schedules with that end in view.

A DEGREE MODIFIED
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURT OF APPEALS HANDS DOWN
 SWEEPING LABOR DECISION.
HE FREEDOM OF TIE PRESS IS UPHELD
The Case Is That in Which the Bucks
 Stove & Range Company of St. Louis
 Seeks to Enjoin the American Fed
 eratlon Of Labor From Boycotting It's Products--Of Much Importance.

Washington, Mar. 13.-The Ameri- can Federation of Labor hereafter may freely refer to the boycott against the Buck Stove & Range company, of St. Louis, except by inclusion in the we don't patronize list"
 This, in substance, of widespread importance to the labor world, to man ufacturers and to newspapers gener ally, Is the sweeping decision handed down Thursday by the court of ap peals of the District of Columbia in the noted injunction case of the Bucks Stove & Range company against the American Federation of Labor, which has been before the courts of the dis trict of Columbia In various phases for months.
 In recent decision by Justice Gould, of the supreme court of the dls- trict, the American Federation of La bor and the officers, Messrs Gomrers. Mitchell, Morrison and others were en- joined from conspiring to boycott the Bucks Stove & Range company. and from printing or publishing or distrfb uting, through the mails or other wise, any copy of the "Federationist" or other publications referring to the complainant, its business or product in the we don't patronize" or unfair list.
 The decision Thursday, which was by Justice Robb, modifies and affirms the decree of Justice Gould. The court holds that the decree should be modi- fled to the extent that 1t shall only restrain the defendants from con spring or combining to boycott the business of the Bucks Stove & Range company, or threatening or declaring any boycott or assisting therein. and from printing the name of the com plainant, its business or product in the we don't patronize' or "unfaire list of defendants in furtherance of any boycott against complainant's business or product and from interfering eith- CT in print or otherwise with complain ants business as in we don't patro- nize," or unfair" list in furtherance of boycott.
 The court holds that the defendants cannot be restrained from all publica- tions referring to the Bucks Stove & Range company, but only such as are made in furtherance of an alleged boy. colt. In partially dissenting opinion in which he says that he is unable to concur entirely in the modihed decrees of Justice Robb, Chief Justice Shepard expressed the opinion that the decree should be modified "so as to restrain the acts only by which other persons have been or may be@ coerced into ceasing from business relations witt the Bucks Stove & Range company
