kiev, Russia, Oct. Z1.-The Rus
sian department of justice, convinced
that the ritual murder" trial has be-
come farce, is about to order the
case dismissed and will begin an in
quiry into the Investigations that
brought about Bells indictment &C
cording to dispatch sent by Lon
don correspondent covering the trial.
Brushkovsky, journalist, who is on
the witness stand today testifying in
the ritual murder trial. and who
was accused by Vera Cheberyak of
having attempted to bride her to as
sumo responsibility for the murder
of Yushinsky, stated that Vera Che
beryak told him, in the presence of
witnesses, that the boy was murdered
by the Prihodkos- his mother and
sten-father-a aided by Marie Mifle.
This is the last day of the second
week of the trial and the several
score witnesses already examined
have accused almost everyone men
toned of the murder; of Andrew
Yushinsky, the Christian boy, except
the Jew, Mende1 Bells, the Defend
ant.
Brushkovsky told the court that,
the Cheberyak woman informed him
that Yushinsky's mother and her Sec
ond husband put the boy out of the
way because he was source of trou-
BILE between them, and the mother
feared that the step-father would de-
sert her if the boy was kept with her.
The Cheberyak woman also added,
according to the newspaperman, that
it was the Miles who poisoned the
two Cheberyak children, Eugene and
Valentine, because they were init
mates of the Yushinsky boy and saw
him seized by the one who killed him.
The journalist said that Vera Che
beryak promised to tell the full story
before Margolin, lawyer, but failed |
to do so.

RITUAL MURDER" CASE BECOMING A BIG
FARCE-EVERYBODY ACCUSED BUT BELLS :.

Cheberyaks lived while they were
neighbors OF eBilis in 1911, after the
murder, told of things he observed
there, notably the arrival on several
occasions of men who wore uniforms
and who went away in workingmen's
clothes. He swore that he heard Vera
Cheberyak say that two of these Wis.
itors were in the way and must be
got rid Of"
The department of justice at ST.
Petersburg ordered an inquiry into
the story that convict in LODI pris-
on confessed that he murdered An
drew Yushinsky
The newspaper added that Bagg-
nirn was sent to prison for IL years
from Kiey and that his confession
should be accepted skeptically on
that account.
Bells is a wreck. 1t is rumored
that he fears secret assassination be-
cause of the hue and cry raised over :,
his prosecution. He sits in the court
room with guard around that pre-
vents anyone approaching, and his
eyes shift from prosecutor to witness
and from witness to prosecutor, find
ing no comfort, while his hands are
clenched to conceal their tremor.
If the pressure being brought to
bear on the car to stop the persecu-
ton is effective, viii it be in time, is
the query in the minds OF the spec
tators.

Washington. April 1S.-The foreign
trade of the United States for March
does not compare well with the trade
during March, 1912, according to the
bureau Of foreign and domestic com.

during the month fell off and were de-
cidedly less than for the same month
a year ago. However, the imports
last month were larger than those of
the same month of any preceding year,

ports exceeded those OF any March
with the single exception of March,

hit the ball with such speed that the
ordinary woman player finds it hard
to return her shots.

Cobb has not had as long baseball

HEAVYWEIGHTS
LACK CLASS Of
FORMER STARS

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-It is
very evident that the days Of the
heavyweights have about waned. Re
cent events have shown the whole
world that the present crop Of big
boxers is an absolute and a dismal
failure, and for the good of the sport
the longsighted ones would show their
appreciation if the prom 0 er
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land would forget the so-called
hopes for a while and devote all their
attention to the little fellows.
There has been a lack Of class in
the division Of the heavies for many
years past. Managers. promoters and
scouts have gone over the entire
world with a fine tooth comb in the
hope Of finally landing some likely
giant who might develop. But every
expedition has proved a failure. Ons
after the other has fallen by the way
side, so now it would appear as though
the heavyweight division might just
as well be forgotten, because the ma
terial is not there, and, of course, the
interest is bound to wane as a result
of lack of class.
No Former Stars.
Gone are the days of the Sullivans,
the Ryans, the Kilrains, the Jacksons.
the Corbetts, the Fitzsimmons, the
Makers, the Choynskis. the McCoys,
the Sharkeys, the Jeffries, and ever
so many countless others who helped
make ring history. They can't find
anybody to fill their shoes, although
they have had several years in which
to turn the trick The harder they
try. the more hopeless the task looks.
It's a lost cause, sure.
The late Luther McCarty looked
like the hest Of a bad lot, and many
regarded him as the heavyweight
champion. He did all that was ex-
pected of him up to the time he met
his tragic death He was a knocker
out and evidently a fairly clever box
er, with plenty of brain matter to
back up the efforts Of his fists.
Now who are they going to wish the
so-Called championship on to? It be-
gins to look like Gunboat Smith or
Arthur PellSy, the man who Is held
responsible for the death of McCarty.
Surely the heavyweight game must be
slipping fast.
Willard Lacks Class.
Jess Willard has plenty of height,
reach and weight, but we must stop
right there. He may be willing
enough, but that lets him out. His re-
cent miXup with Smith failed to show
the fans of San Francisco anything
that they might possibly warm up to.
Possibly he is entitled to a return
match, but nobody seems to care very
much whether he ever gets 1t or not
Many of them are of the opinion
that a clever old timer like Tommy
Ryan or Kid Mccoy might possibly
take hold of Willard and teach him a
few Of the tricks Of the trade. This
is a good suggestion and is worthy d
a trial. Willard is very green and
sadly lacking In the knowledge Of the
game a few tryouts over the four
round route ought to help him also.
