Russian Land swindIe.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept IL
Thousands OF persons have just been
victimized in a cleverly manipulated
land swindle, according to dispatches
from Nakhftchevan. Circulars had
been sent out broadcast by a gang
of alleged real-estate agents saying
that the authorities had agreed to
give 1000 square yards OF land In a
new townsite on the River Don near
by to every settler who should fence
In his allotment and promise to be-
gin building operations within a reas.
enable time. The result was a pretty
fair imitation OF western reserva-
ton opening in the United States
Thousands stampeded to the place
where they were met by the agents
who assisted them in stalking out lots
and who sold them at high prices
large quantities Of fencing and build
ing material The swindlers also sold
and resold lots among the settlers il
return for fancy commissions.
Next day the agents disappeared
Just before the arrival of detach
] Tent of police from Nakhitchevar
who proceeded to arrest the settlers
! for occupying land without lega
authority. They not only lost thei,
claims but glso the building material,
which they had purchased.

BERLIN, Sept 17.-Frauleia Myra
Gosrsen's father, wealthy manufac-
turer of Treptow, having refused to
let her marry Jacob Xavier, his for
mer clerk, the young lovers planned
to elope. Herr Goessen discovered
the plot, but craftily kept silent. At
the appointed midnight Myra stealth
lily opened the hall door and hoped
into a waiting motor-car at the
wheel OF which, much muffled up sat,
as she supposed her Jacob. With fin.
ger to his lips he quietly steered the
car out into the darkness. After an
hours ride the machine came to a sud,
den stop-at Myra's own ceor. Her
companion stepped out, removed his
goggles, and laughed 1t was her
father. just then another car dashed
up, bringing the real Jacob. whom
Papa Goersen had misled as to the
hour by fake message. Myra
promptly deciding that lover who
was SO stupid would probably hungle
matters as husband, dismissed him
on the spot and entered the house

SUFFERS TRIAL
ON TOMORROW

her own way before the bar of the
impeachment court. If she does she
will lend an intensely human touch to
"a proceeding about which there Is
still very much mystery. She will
probably be able to clear up with her
own lips the inside truth of allega-
tions made by the friends of Sulzer
that the speculative deal was in real
fty a Tammany trap, baited by Boss
Charles Frances Murphy himself and
was designed to give him strangle
hold on the states executive whereby
he could force him to work his will.
The man who stands out as the
great figure in the case is Edgar M.
Cullen, chief Judge of the court OF
appeals. He is admittedly fearless
jurist He retires from the Office he
now holds on December 81 next.
Independent of political leaders, de-
fant as always of the conventional
alities, the opinion of this veteran
jurist will have a powerful influence
in the court. 1t has been decided
that following precedent, the judge of
the court OF appeals will vote on all
questions before the members of the
senate. The names will be arranged
alphabetically and Judge Cullen who
by virtue Of his Office will preside
over the trial will vote second. 1t
seemed certain today that his judic-
ial opinion would have great weight.
The impeachment trial begins at noon
Thursday. Prior to the trial there
will be meeting of the senate.
