Russian Bureaucracy Supreme.

The opinion of the world that Russia
now enjoys constitutional and repre-
sent alive government was pronounced a
mistaken one by Prof. Isaac G. Hour
wich a native Of Russia and a candidate
for membership in the first duma, in
an address before the Secular League
in Pythian Temple yesterday afternoon.
He held that by change in the system of
electing members Of the duma the Rus
sian bureaucracy has regained it's alb
solute power in the government and has
made of the legislative body an instru-
ment for registering its will under the
guise Of representative government.

KILL THIRTEEN HUNTERS
|NPENNSWVAN|A ALONE
As Many Victims in One State
as Foot Ball Claimed in
Whole Country.

PITTSBURG, December 12.-Fata1 hunt.
ing accidents in Pennsylvania, with the
season not yet ended, already equal the
number of deaths in foot ball. in ali
forty-six states this fall. The serious
cunning accidents in Pennsylvania alone
number nearly twice as many as all the
foot ball accidents in the United States.
This comparison Of sports that kill
is obtained from q careful compilation OF
all cunning accidents reported in Penn
sylvania newspapers this fall and from
a summary Of foot ball accidents pub
season. In view Of the fact that foot ball
deaths attract much greater attention,
any change the exact figures would show
presumably would favor the guns toll.
The fact also should be remembered
that some deaths supposedly resulting
that sport only in an indirect way, while
cunning accidents seldom admit OF such
doubt. The record is: Foot ball, United
States deaths 13. injuries II: hunting.
Pennsylvania. deaths IS, injuries 81.
Victims Mainly Boys.
The list Of cunning casualties shows a
death or injury for almost every day of
the season thus far. The victims mainly
were boys under tWenty-one years OF age.
OF the thirteen dead seven were killed by
weapons in their own hands and six by
other persons.
The causes of the accidents were va
ried-stumbling fence climbing, careless
loading, stacking guns against trees.
needless aims and ignorance. that guns
were loaded. In no case was it reported
that q hunter was mistaken for game,
as often happens in the bigger hunting
grounds of Maine and the northwest.
In addition to those killed outright, at
least a dozen Of the wounded have little
chance to recover. OF the others seriously
injured a majority lost a leg, arm or eye.
Nearly all the accidents occurred In
hunting small game The deer and bear
hunting seasons were unusually success
full. The state fish and game commits
sion reported that over 800 deer were
shot and about 500 bears incidentally
eighty-seven arrests were made for vio-
lation of the game laws. All but one re-
suited in q conviction.

In Old Theater District.

Tammany Hall stands on East 18th
street. in the heart of the old-time the
alter district, and one now thickly dotted
with ancient buildings. many Of them of
an infiammable character. For this rea-
son a large quantity Of fire apparatus
was called out.
A dance was given last night by So
cial club in the ballroom of the hall and
1t Is supposed that a lighted cigar or
cigarette left in one of the boxes in the
gallery started the fire. 1t is estimated
that the damage by fire and water to the
interior Of the building can be repaired
for approximately $4,000.

ASK CONGRESS TO ACT
ON LOCAL MEASURES
Commissioners Name Bills the
Passage of Which Is
Most Essential.

Spurred by the rumors that there will
be little District legislation during the
present session Of Congress, the Com
that the "Judson plan bill, the public
utilities bill, the police and firemen's
pension fund bill, the loan shark bill
and two tax and assessment bills be
given preference to the fifty-odd District
before Congress.
The Commissioners believe that these
bills are Of vital importance to the Dis
trict, and they earnestly hope Congress
will speedily consider them and act ia
vorably upon them.
Avoid Jeopardizing Bills.
There are many other bills. Of course.
which are of considerable Importance,
says Commissioner Rudolph, in a COM
munication to Senator Gallinger, land
their enactment at this session of Con-
gress would be most desirable and bene-
fetal. but the Commissioners recommend
for special attention only the bills re-
ferred to, in order that the passage of
these bills at this session Of Congress
may not be jeOpardized, as may happen
if time is devoted to other measures of
less vital Importance"
Where Importance Lies.
The Commissioners are interested in
the firemen and police pension fund, for
the reason that there is possibility of
another cut In the pension lists, as hap
pened last summer. The two tax and
assessment bills are new bills, one of
which went to the Capitol today, and
provides an additional method to be used
at tax sales. The other one provides a
new method of assessing unsubdivided
property for water and sewer mains.

Made Friends With Men.

The secret service man learned of the
acquaintance between Lotterer and
Weber. Starting his work in Manhattan
he made friends with Lotterer and then
met him casually on the street in Asto-
ria. They had drink and played pi-
nochle In the back room of saloon,
while the secret service man let out the
information in driblets that he was a
man with a substantial amount of money
to invest
Finally Lotterer introduced him to
Weber. The secret service man got into
the confidence Of both and last week the
proposition he was after was made to
him. Weber and Lotterer had laid out
a lot of capital in their plant and needed
cash to pay for supplies. A shipment
Of metals was to be received today and
more steel mods must be bought. For
one-third of what they had already laid
out and one-third Of future expenses
they agreed to give him one-third share
of their profits.

Lucky Early Shoppers.

Today's early shoppers were as lucky
as that early bird we all know about.
Santa Claus may have staggered a bit
under last weeks invasion of holiday
buyers, but by the time the big stores
were opened this morning he had filled
counters and shelves and aisle tables and
windows and show cases with fresh
stocks to take the place of those that
had gone before.
their day Of rest. and just to add to the
general joyousness of things, the weather
man postponed the rain in the soggy
gray clouds and gave an uplifting turn
to the thermometer that took the freeze
out of the air.
Oh, 1t was a great day, all around
for the early shoppers.
Aid to Education.
Santa has done an extra splendid thing
this year. He has given to his latest
toys scientific value that will educate
as well as please the growing youngster.
Just to instance few:
There is the flying machine run by
electric motor-the real thing as far as a
small model can go-and with the usual
electrical railway, is the newest equip
ment in day coaches, sleepers and box
curves and way stations-enough like a
truly choO-choO car to give a child it's
first appreciation Of real journey.
There are moving pictures with the
proper lighting apparatus and standard
films, and in place of the Teddy bear-or.
| let us say. with the Teddy bear-are all
| the jungle animals that the colonel
everybody's colonel-killed in the African
wilds.
The doll. in an effort to regain its SUI
| premacy from the Teddy and other soft
| bodied animals that children have learned
| to love. has evoluted into being almost
human. The latest bisque creations have
real-for-true eyebrows instead of pen
ciled lines. and wigs of real hair, and a
way of smiling and bowling and talking
! that-wel you know how your heart
went out to those dolls the very frs,
minute you laid eyes on them-no matter
how old you are.
Christmas Trees Plentiful.
