New York. January 21.--Friends OF
Vladimir Bourtseff, OF the Russian rev.
dictionary propaganda, learned from
him yesterday OF startling exposures
to be made by him while in this cotin-
try.
Since his arrival on Wednesday night
many Of the leaders Of the Social -Rov-
olutionary and tho Social Dem ocratic
parties in this country at tho house OF
Or. Paul S. Kaplan, $50 East Broad
way, himself Russian exile for his
political faith.
TO trusted men in the movement here
for Russian freedom he is said to have
disclosed that the Cars secret agents
were In every meeting the revolutions
lists held in this and every other city
OF this country; that. in fact the ranks
here are filled with traitors to tho
cause.
The names OF many Of these men, he
said, were known to him. Not many
days will elapse before they arc sum-
moned before the leaders OF tho two
principal parties to stand trial. Bourt-
self is said to have obtained his infor-
nation about the duplicity Of these
men who have been high in the revo-
lutionary counsels here. strange to say,
from tho Russian police themselves.

ton from Bourtseff. and to unmasls

son for his coming here at this time.

the Social Rcvolutionary and the So
cial-Democratic, into closer union.
1t was also said that he had brought
over with him letters and documents
to be used against Evalenko. Some
of these letters are said to be attri-
these and the testimony he is expect
ed to give before the Evalcnko Trial
Committee he would not discuss. DR..
Kaplan said, however. that the eX-
pected trial of Evalenko, with Bourt-
self as the chief witness, would be of
minor importance in comparison with
the unmaskins by him of those
against whom not word OF suspicion
has been uttered on this SIDE
1t was reported by cable last sun
day that Bourtseff expected to speak
more freely in America regarding the
Gar and the Russian government than
he dared even in Paris. He seemed
yesterday to be living up to that cN-
pectation. forahc declared that the Car
was the worst enemy the Russian peo-
pie have.

He is not shielded from knowledge
OF happenings or conditions, as some
suppose. All the massacres of the Jews
were with his connivance and by his
actual orders. Azcff was friend OF
