Russian Consul General,
Captain and U. S. Off,
Gals Take Part.
ALLEGED SLAYERS
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Man and Woman Were Arrested
on Board Vessel by Order OF
Russian Authorities.

Captain Kirshfed Of the Russian
steamship kursk, assisted by the Russian
Consul General Of this port. had a long
encounter with the Department OF JUS
: tice Yesterday over the disposition OF TWO
Russian subjects. and finally won the
bout of words and wits. taking his snip
TO sea at $50 p. nj, almost four hours
behind schedule.
For time it vas feared the contro-
versy would end with international com
plications. but the efforts OF the Onlted
states government officials finally capitu-
lated before the determined stand OF the
Kursk's master and the arguments OF the
consul general. The two prisoners de-
tanned aboard the vessel were carried
away to Russia TO face charge OF muir
der
When the kursk arrived here from
Libau on January Captain klrshfeid sent
a wireless message to Michele NJ. Osu-
noff the Russian Consul General, stating
that he had arrested on board Mrs Helene
Julia Puskuw and Nicoai rzwetkow,
both first cabin passengers. on ORDERS
from his home government just as the
Kursk had left the Baltic Sea The wire
less order, the captain said, had charged
the couple with the murder In SmolensK
of the woman's husband, a candy manu-
facturer.
Gable advices OF a similar nature
reached the consul general, and he notl-
fled the immigration officials. advising
them that the detained Russians were no
longer immigrants. but prisoners on
Russian ship. This was done, ne eA-
planned. to prevent the immigration Of
ficials from taking them TO Ellis Island
No effort was made TO remove the
couple by the local immigration officlals'
but intercession was made for them IN
Washington.
CAPTAIN Kirshfeld and Consul Cstinon
thought their attitude had been accep-
table TO this government, and were sur
prised Yesterday when United States
marshal went aboard the kursk with a
writ Of habeas corpus issued by Judge
julius NJ. Mayer. made returnable imme-
diately, for the production of the TWO
prisoners on Ellis Island.
The writ had been issued in the fore
noon to Harold A. Content. assistant
United States Attorney for the Southern
District Of New York. The kursk. when
was scheduled to leave port at p. M
was berthed i'm South Brooklyn, which is
i'm another federal district. so the marshal
was not asked 10 serve the writ himself
l.. Tadesco, an immigration Inspector
was intrusted with that task and served
the writ upon the chief officer, the SKIP
per himself not being aboard.
The first officer refused TO honor IT,
Stating he would obey the instructions OF
his consul general, he threw the writ upon
the deck.
His act was reported at once to Judge
Mayer, who ordered that the hursk be
detained in port and that the consul gen
eral be so notified Consul Ustinoff soon

sent to newspaper men in the latter
city asking for a denial Of the con-
firmation of the report that Adolfo
Fierro, OF the Constitutionalist army,

That a critical situation is develop

ASQU|TH NOT To
QUIT, LIBERAL
LEADERS SAY
Rumors That Premier Would Re-
tire From Home Rule Fight
Are Denied.
By HERBERT TEMPLE.


LONDON, March 13.-Leaders OF
the Liberal party to-day scoffed at
reports printed in some of the Union
list morning papers that Premier AS
quith would announce his resignation
in Parliament on Monday. The ru-
mors arose from the announcement
by the Premier that he would have a
general statement relative to the
home rule and Ulster exclusion ques-
tons on Monday.
Friends of the Premier declare that
there could be nothing in the report,
because Mr.. Asquith had pledged
himself to carry out the program Of
the Government, which is in Liberal
hands at present. Home rule for Ire
land is the chief item in that pro-
gram.
However, the rumors caused much
annoyance in Liberal circles, especial
ly as Chancellor David Lloyd George,
one Of the Premier's allies, was re-
ported to be the coming Premier"
Conferences among the heads of
the various factions went on to-day
with little progress toward final So
luton of the Ulster exclusion ques-
ton. For the time being, however,
both sides will mark time until the
general statement" is made in the
House of Commons on Monday. This
it is believed, will be an outline of the
Governments program of action in
case the radicals among the Unionists
continue to reject the Government
Cancellation proposals.
