HOPE CAR SETS
|BABOUSHKA' FREE
Friends of Aged RevOlutionist
Ready to Bring Her to
This Country.

Hope for "Baboushka," "ittle grand
mother" sprang to the hearts of New
York Russians yesterday at the news
that the Gar had granted amnesty to
all political prisoners. Into many
minds flashed plan to bring their idol,
whose real name is Catherine Bresh-
kovskaya, to this country, and in the
luxury with which they would surround
her TO wipe away the memory OF her
years in a Siberian prison. 1t was only
a month ago that a letter from her to
Alice Stone Blackwell brought the news
that the aged woman was to be trans
ferred TO YakoutSk, a place even more
dreary and cruel than her former
prison.
Let her only be free" cried DR..
Paul Kaplan, a leader among the Rus
sian liberals Of the lower East Side,
land well have her here soon. 1t
won't be necessary TO start a fund 20
bring her over The money will just
pour in voluntarily from her friends IN
Russia.
I'VE have not much faith that the
rumor of amnesty is true not since
the news has come to-day OF the clos
ing of the Douma. The two acts are
contradictory. The Gar would not dc
such a liberal thing as to free the po-
litical prisoners one day and then close
the Douma the next. No; | fear that
rumor about the prisoners was started
in London 70 help the big loan by max
ing a little pleasant sentiment.
an closing the Douma the Car has
opened the door 10 revolution. The
people already are very uneasy and eX-
cited. With their country defeated
everywhere they viii be desperate.
There will be revolution in two months
if the Douma is not called soon.

CHANCE RELEASES
INNOCENT PRISONER
Youth Held in Tombs Four
Months for Forgery Guilty
bV Accident.

The accidental juxtaposition of two
papers in the portfolio of Assistant
District Attorney Wellman yesterday
revealed that youth had been serving
four months in the Tombs on a forgery
char~e of which another person was
guilty.
Otto Kuhl. eighteen years old, a
clerk, was indicted in June for forging
the name of his employer. Gabriel
We'll. dealer in antiques, to a money
order of the Adams Express Company.
One of the two papers in Mr.. Well
mans portfolio was the money order
with the forged Endorsement. The
other paper was a forged check for
$40, made out by Philip Rubin against
his employer, Charles L. Rtzman.
While handling both papers yesterday
Mr.. Wellman was struck with the re-
semblance in the Endorsements. He re-
called how fervently young Kuhl had
protested his innocence. and he sent
for the imprisoned clerk.
"Do you know Philip Rubin?" Mr..
Wellman asked.
Eyes. He used TO work for Charles
l.. Ritzmann, the picture dealer next
door" said Kuhl.
Rubin was called. After Mr.. Well
man quizzed him several minutes he
broke down and admitted that he OBJ
tanned the money order sent TO Mr..
We'll.
The express company cashier, who
had been fairly certain that Kuhl was
the young man who presented the
check for payment, was confronted
with both Kuhl and Rubin, and de-
clared Rubin was the one.
Mr.. Wellman at once went before
Judge Mulqueen and asked for Kuhls
honorable discharge.

It depends on no single strong scene as all are strong scenes, but rather upon it's excellent plot and even interest. It Is not fic- tion. but a story from life, telling of the adventures of young New Eng- land girl who goes to New York in search of work, and failing to obtain employment falls in with 0 set of free and easy livers through her acquaint- ance with one of them, @ girl from her own home town whom she meets in the street.

One leaves the play with the unusual sat- isfaction of having witnessed some thing we'll done and worth while.
 The play is in four acts; the first being in New York apartment, the home of Mary Horton's friend, the other three acts in little New Eng land village where Mary's dear old mother lives. A. r..
