Charge Against Women Students Made
In Russian Ouma Results In
an Uproar.

ST. PETERSBURG. March 15.-An eX-
tTaordinary charge against women stu
dents caused a sensational scene in the
duma this evening. An Interpolation OF
recent incidents in the high schools was
under discussion. when Deputy Ubruzoff,
Il member Of the extreme right, alleged
that female students. during the revo-
lutonary period. consorted with drunken
sal ilors in order to carry on the revolu-
tionary propaganda more successfully.
Shouts of Down with the black
guards. and similar indignant protests
arose from the left benches and started
scene OF uproar and great disorder.
The president was unable to control the
deputies.
Ubruzof tried 10 resume speaking. but
In vain. and the president vas Obliged to
ask him TO leave the tribune as the hour
allowed the speakers had elapsed.
UbruZon's supporters raised a great
outcry and the president closed the sit
ting. The opposing factions rushed to-
ward the tribune, but officers threw
themselves between the two parties and
prevented a collision. Only when the
lights were turned out did the deputies
quit the hall.

DEATH SENTENCE FOR
MURDERER IS PASSED
End of Sensational Trial Of StInle Nor
rlson In London
Court.

LONDON, March 15.-Stine Morrison
today was found guilty OF the murder of
Joseph Beron, and sentenced TO death.
The police tried to connect the tragedy
with the Hounds Ditch anarchist bur
glaries. and the trial was one OF the most
sensational ever held in London.
The mutilated body OF Beron was found
on Chaplain common early In January.
The police theory was that the victim
was a member OF the Hounds Ditch
crowd and had been killed for treachery
by his associates.
The evidence was wholly circumstan-
tial, Morrison. who is Russian. claimed
that he spent the evening OF the murder
at a music hall and the rest OF the night
at his home. Most Of the witnesses We're
from the Whitechapel district, and start
ling assertions were made on both sides.
A sensation was caused this afternoon
when the closing arguments OF counsel
were Interrupted TO admit the testimony
OF a policeman who declared that his COL
leagues had sworn falsely.
Morrison made many discriminating ad =
missions. and under cross examination
admitted that he had been several times
convicted OF burglary
