F|NLAND ABSORBED
INTO CZAR's EMPIRE
Absorption Is Said to. Have
Been a Political
Necessity.
BY GEORGE FRASER.

Special Gable to The Tribune
ST, PETERSBURG. June 25.-The prac-
tical absorption OF Finland into the Rus
sian empire was political necessity in
the opinion Of NJ. Stolypin, the premier.
In speech 10 the duma NJ. Stolypin
stated the imperial position clearly and
uncquiyocally. Speaking of the inclusion
OF the Finnish schools, newspaper regu-
lation, meetings, and associations within
the competence Of imperial legislation, he
said the schools were dAcluded because
Finnish teacherS were constantly instill-
ing the youth OF the country with hostile
feelings against the Russian government
The same hostile intent animated the
newspapers, meetings. and associations.
and the government must have control
over them all. The contempt excited
by this idea OF Russian dissolution had
prompted the Fins to threaten passive re-
siBtance, and it was the same thought
that had produced the uninvised inter
vention OF foreigners. but M Stolypin
added, you will show that right Is great
er than might"
Desperate Criminal Captured
A secret police officer named Murat-
off, was walking unarmed In one OF the
principal streets OF Moscow two or three
days ago when he thought he recognized
the mistress of a long g-sought-for criminal
named Shuruvleff, alias BolusSon. The
woman was accompanied by man, whom
the detective rightly guessed to be Shur-
avleff, and whom he promptly seized by
the wrists with q view to arresting him,
Shuravleff threw off the detective and
took TO flight, drawing a revolver from
his pocket and firing four shots at Muir
atoff, who ran after him. Tho detective
fell to the ground mortally wounded. He
was carried to the nearest hospital, where
he died In O few minutes
In the meantime the pursuit was con-
tinued. and Shuravleff fired nearly a
dozen shots at the police and others who
were following him. None OF them, how
ever, took effect, although the uniforms
of several policemen bore bullet marks
After dodging from street to street Shur-
ayleff dashed down a. cul-de-Sac abutting
on a railway embapkment, He fired at
the guard on duty. but missed him, and

him to the ground. He was Immediately

robberics, twelve church thefts. and 200
other crimes. most OF which were COM
