TWELVE EXPELLED
FROM RUSS DUNA
MEETING OF THE RUSSIAN PAR
LAMENT is ATTENDED BY
VIOLENT DISORDERS.
Premier Trepoff Has Hostile Greet
ina and as a Result Leaders of the
Socialist and Labor Parties
Are Expelled.

Petrograd-Th eagerly awaited re-
assembling of the duma took place
December 2, without any promise OF
final settlement of the dispute be-
tween the government and the rep
resentatives of the people. Leaders
of the duma said they are uniformed
as to the attitude adopted by the gov
eminent and did not look for any i'm
mediate clearing of the political at
mosphere.
When Premier Trepoff mounted the
tribune in the duma to read the gov
ernment's statement, the parties OF
the extreme left began hostile dem
onstration.
NJ. Trepoff thrice appeared on the
tribune, but as often left, owing to
the turmoil.
The president of the duma there
upon proposed expulsion for eight sit
tings of twelve leaders of the social
ist and labor parties, including the
leaders, Tcheldse and Krenski. This
proposal was adopted and the premier
delivered his speech.
NJ Trepoff expressed satisfaction at
the patriotic activities of the munich
palities, and said that the government
would take all possible measures for
the establishment of settled order be-
hind the army. In the present time
the premier said, this lack of order
had been felt in questions of supply
with the result that the population in
many regions was experiencing diff
culties as regards foods. 1t might
be necessary, he said, to renounce
the system of restrictions.
The premier declared that transport
difficulties necessitated an examina
ton into the railway construction. He
declared tht measures must be taken
to increase the production of metals
and fuel, and that the construction
of factories was imperative.

Great Problem SoIvad

A street carnival now touring the
South is seemingly the repository of
most perplexing military secret. On
recent visit by this particular carni-
val to a Tennessee city a part of the
attending throng heard a barker extol
the clairvoyant powers of Madam.
This goddess of wisdom, while thor
oughly blindfolded, gave instant an
swers to any questions. The seeker
after truth merely wrote on a slip of
paper the question nearest his heart
which, being read out by the barker
in the hearing of all the crowd, was
as publicly answered.
Whether Minnie still loved Tom
and where the old hermit buried the
gold were questions legitimate enough,
but that somebody had taken advan-
tage of a lady's trustful disposition
her answer revealed when Madam -
was confronted with the query:
Where is Villa?"
Her reply was: o
Her real name is not villa. It is
Margaret, and she is now in Atlanta

AN ENGLISH TRIBUTE TO POE
De Maupassant and KipIing Owe Some
thing to American Writer, Says
Engllshman.

The detective story and the murder
mystery are not forms of any great
literary value, but 1 must confess to
prediction for stories about crime,
and there is some authority for the
view that murder is the most gentle
manly crime that anybody can COM
nit"
Those who share my taste for homi-
eide in fiction-and 1 find 1t fairly wide
spread-have reason to be grateful to
Poe. His Lupin is a prince of detec-
tives and the father Of an illustrious
progeny; while such contemners of
the law of the land as Raffles and
Arsene Lupln are Poe's Legitimate
children. Indeed, Poe's influence In
France has been greater than among
the English-speaking people. Every
student of French literature knows
that but for Poe, BaUdelaire, Mallarme
and Vllliers de PIsle-Adam would have
been something very different from
what they were, and NJ. Remy de
GOurmont says in one of his penetrat-
ing essays that Eugene Sue, Gaboriau
and Dostoevsky, in Crime and Pun
ishment,' have all taken lessons from
Poe"
1t would be interesting to study the
way In which his technique of the
short story was adopted and modified
by Guy de Maupassant, and how, after
having filtered through Maupassant's
mind, 1t has returned to English litera-
ture through the medium of Mr..
kipling-"Penguin," in the London Ma
lion.

Here Colonel Webb Exploded.

gazed in fascination upon the peak
! Somewhere deep in it's corrugated
sides or lost in a rugged canyon was
hidden the secret stronghold of the
master outlaw Cheseldine. All down
along the ride from Ell Paso Duane
had heard of Cheseldine, of his band,
his fearful deeds, his cunning, his
widely separate raids of his fitting
| here and there like a Jack-o'- lantern /;
but never word of his den, never a
word of his appearance.
Next morning Duane did not return
to Ord. He struck off to the north,
riding down a rough, Notwithstanding
road that appeared to have been used
occasionally for Cattle-driving. AS
he had ridden in from the west, this
northern direction led him into totally
unfamiliar country. While he passed
on, however, he exercised such keen
observation that in the future he
would know whatever might be of
service to him If he CHANGED that
way again.
After couple of hours riding he
entered a town which he soon dis
covered to be Bradford. 1t was the
largest town he had visited since
Maria, and he calculated must have
thousand or fifteen hundred in
habitants, not including Mexicans.
He decided this would be a good
place for him to hold up for while,
being the nearest town to Ord, only
forty miles away. So he hitChed his
horse in front of a store and leisurely
set about studying Bradford.
1t was after dark, however,
that Duane verified his suspicious con-
corning Bradford. The town was
awake after dark, and there was one
long row of saloons, dance-halls, |
gambllng-resorts In full blast. Duane |
visited them all, and was surprised |
to see wildness and license equal to
that of the old river camp OF BANDS |
in its palmiest days. Here It was
forced upon him that the farther west
one travelled along the river the
Sparser the respectable settlements,
the more numerous the hard Charac-
tiers, and in consequence the greater
the element of lawlesSneSs. Duane
returned to his clearinghouse with the
conviction that MacNelly'S task of
cleaning up the Big Bend country
was a stupendous one Yet, he re-
Elected, a company Of intrepid and
understanding rangers could have
soon cleaned up this Bradford.
The nnkeeper had one other guest
that night, a long-coated and wide
sombreroed Texan VINO reminded
Duane of his grandfather. This man
had penetrating eyes, courtly man.
ner. and an uumiStakable leaning TO-
ward companionship and mintjuleps.
The gentleman introduced himself as
Colonel Webb Of Maria. and took it
as matter Of course that Duane
made no comment about himself.
Duane, as always, was a good
listener. Colonel Webb told. among
other things, that he had come out
to the Big Bend to look over the
affairs Of 4 deceased brother who
had been ranCher and a sheriff of
one Of the towns, Fairdale by name.
Found no affairs, no ranch, not
even his grave" said Colonel Webb.
And I tell you. sir, if helTs any
tougher than this Fairdale l don't
want to explate my sins there"
"Fatrdale. l imagine sheriffs
nave a hard row to hoe out here"

1.-THE LONE STAR RANGER
ba story about the Plains People By ZANE GREY
By ZANE GREY

? What this frontier needs, sir, Is
about six companies Of Texas Rang
ers. A fine body of men. sir, and the
salvation of Texas"
Governor Stone doesn't entertain
that opinion" said Duane.
Here Colonel Webb exploded. Mani
testify the governor was not his choice
for a chief executive of the great
state. He talked politics for while,
and of the vast territory west of the
Pecos that seemed never to get a
benefit from Austin. Duane exerted
himself to be agreeable and interest
ing; and he saw presently that here
was an opportunity to make a Valu-
able acquaintance, If not friend.
"I'm a stranger in these parts"
said Duane, finally. what is this
outlaw situation you speak Off"
IT'S damnable, sir, and unbelieV-
able. Not rustling any more, but
Just wholesale herd-stealing, In which
some big cattlemen, supposed to be
honest, are equally guilty with the
outlaws. On this border, you know,
the rustler has always been able to
steal cattle in any numbers. But to
get rid of big bunches-that's the
hard job. The gang operating be-
tween here and Valentine evidently
have not this trouble. Nobody knows
where the stolen stock goes. But I'm
not alone in my opinion that most OF
1t goes to several big stockmen. They
ship to San Antonio, Austin, New
Orleans, also to Ell Paso."
"Wholesale business, eh?" remarked
Duane. "Who are these-er-big
stock-buyers?"
Colonel Webb seemed a little
startled at the abrupt query. He
bent his penetrating gaze upon Duane
and thoughtfully strOked his pointed
beard.
Names, of course, I'll not mention.
Opinions are one thing, direct accusa-
ton another This is not healthy |
country for the informer."
When 1t came to the outlaws them |
selves Colonel Webb was disposed to
talk freely. The great name along |
the river was CheseIdine, but it SEEM
ed to be a name detached from an |
individual. No person Of veracity
known to Colonel Webb had ever
seen Cheseldine. Strange to say of
an outlaw leader, as there was no one
who could identify him, so there was
no one who could prove he had actu-
ally killed a man.
