POLICE MANY YEARS
BY GEORGE FRASER,

ST. PETERSBURG, June 25-(SpecIal
Dispatch to The BeeD-The practical alb
sorption OF Finland into the Russian em-
pre was a political necessity In the opinion
of NJ. Stolypin the premier In speech
to the duma Mr.. Stolypin stated the Inn
peral position clearly and unequivocally.
Speaking Of the Inclusion of the Finnish
schools newspaper regulations, meetings
and associations within the competence Of
imperial legislation he said the schools
were included because Finnish teachers were
constantly instilling the youth Of the coun-
try with hostile feelings against the Rus
sian government. The same hostile intent
animated newspapers, meetings and associ-
atoms and the government must have con-
troll over them all. The contempt excited
by this idea OF Russian dissolution had
prompted the Firms to threaten passive re-
s!s,ance, ard 1t was the same thought that
had produced the unlimited Intervention Of
foreigners. but M. Stolypn added, you
will show that right is greater than might"
Desperate Criminal Caught.
A secret police officer named Muratoff,
was walking unarmed In one of the prin-
cipal streets Of Moscow two or three days
ago, when he thought he recognized the
mistress of a long sought for criminal
woman was accompanied by a man, whom
the detective rightly guessed to be Shurav-
leff and whom he promptly seized by
the wrists with a view to arresting him.
Shuravleff threw off the detective and
took to flight drawing revolver from his
pocket and firing four shots at Muratoff,
who ran after him. The detective fell to
the ground mortally wounded. He was
carried to the nearest hospital, where he
died in 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, however,
took effect, although the uniforms of sew
eral policemen bore bullet marks. After
lodging from street to street ShuraVleff
dashed down a 'cul-de-sac abutting on a
railway embankment. He fired at the
guard on duty, but missed him, and then
peasant youth made rush at him and
caught him by the legs, bringing him to
the ground. He was Immediately arrested.
Shuravleffs record of crime is almost
Incredible. He is known to have perpe-
trated at least seven murders and to have
been concerned in fifteen armed robberies
twelve church thefts, and 200 other crimes
most of which were committed in tbs
vicinity or MOSCOW. FOR years ne nas
eluded all the efforts of the police t.
capture him. thanks mainly to his genius
in assuming impenetrable DISCUSSES. He II
only 30 year old.
