Sy. PETERSBURG, May 14.-In promoting M .Gregua to be assistant director in the Criminal Investiga- tion Department the Russian govern ment has indicated it's utter lack of sincerity in its professed efforts to abolish torture in the prisons. Gre qua had only recently been dismiss ed" as chief of the detective service in Riga as a result of the expose of horrors perpetrated in the prison there in order to extort confessions. !" In the trial of IF workmen charged with the attempted murder of an engineer four testified that they had been compelled to confess" al though innocen+. because of the un- endurable tortures inflicted upon them under Gregua's orders.
 It was in Riga that there existed before the revolution of 1905 the ter rible museum of horrors" gutta per- cha rods filled with lead for beat ing, iron ackets, screwing cuffs, pin cers and needles, and other instru- ments of mediaeval barbarity. The further use of these was forbidden after the revolution, but the prison CTS in the recent case asserted that they were taken by night. beaten with these rods until they lost conscious ness. and that most of the other in struments were brought into use against them.

ENGLISH ACTOR
 GETS THE WAO
Makes a Few Shekels in the United States, When He Thought 1t
 Would Be Dead Loss.

NEW YORK, May 14.-For the first time in many. many moons an Eng fish actor has invaded the United States and been successful the first season.
 Prepared to lose $30,O00 introducing Cyril Maude, George Tyler today is far and away ahead of the game, and the theatrical game during the past season and during the season behind the past one for that matter, has not been productive of many successes. When Cyril Maude, who gave such happiness, to so many in his wonder full production of Grumpy" said goodbye to the audience which pack ed Wallack's some nights ago. he was some $75,000 better of than when he reacheed these shores six months before.
 Maude's success was a most satis- flying one. He very nearly set 8 record for any invading English act or. As George Tyler. and Charles Burnham, of Wallack's theater took back over the books they Ind this rather astonishing record: Grumpy" was played to a 5000 house the first week. During one week of. tn six months it played to a $15,600 house. It never fell below $11,000 for any one week after the first. Maude's salary is understood to have been $1.000 a week. Added to this he received ten per cent Of, the first $10,000 receipts and slightly more than half of all the receipts over that amount. This brought his salary up to approximate ly $76,0OO for the twenty-five weeks, or 5000 a week.
 But Cyril Maude's success was more than merely a financial one. It was a distinct individual achievement. and few there are who saw .'Granap'' who begrudge him a. penny. The play. "Grunpy."'s by the. wey, was two years on the market rhefoge it was produc- cd. Charles Frehmau had . chance st 1t, but when hs .aaked J. n. Dod- son to play. it. Dodson refused on tha ground that he did not believe his health would stand up under the strain.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The unexpect- ed explosion of photographers f1ashlight powder caused 8 stampede among the many women gathered in the cit yhall here to view the re- mains of Samuel Meisenberg, the marine who died at Vera Cruz and whose body was brought here for interment.

The few men, the police and the guard of marines tried to quiet the hysterical women, but not until they had crowded through the two exits and most of the crowd reached the street were they aware that in their fright they had never been in any danger.
