Russia with the nations OF the West.

took several more steps out OF her

serfs. The feudal system received fur.

AS climax to the Russo.Japancse
war came the bloody revolution OF
1905, the birth OF the first duma and
the seeming dawn Of freedom.
But 1t was q false dawn. There fol.

sort. pogroms. Wholesale arrests, the
suppression Of liberal ideas and great

war began. In the spring Of 1914 the

HENDERSON GIVEN
 COOL THROWDOWN
New Haven Chamber of Commerce Decides to Permit Wilson to
 Handle U-BOat Matter.

New Haven. April 27-The resolu- tions of Professor Yandell Hender- son to ask President Wilson to sub init the controversy with Germany to The Hague tribunal were not sub- mitted to the chamber of commerce last night, because the executive com mittee, to which the resolutions had been previously submitted by Pro- lessor Henderson. voted that the sub- ject being now in the hands of the president of the United States, it would be inexpedient to discuss the matter until some settlement Is ef- fected.
 This action of the executive commit tee, however, did not preclude Pro- lessor Henderson's referring it to the chamber and Colonel Issac M Ull- man, of the executive committee ex- plained that he disliked exceedingly to have the impression go forth that the resolutions could not be freely phasized the fact that there is no gag rule in the body, and that i'll spite of the recommendation of the committee to which Professor Hen- derson referred his resolutions, the author of them could insist upon their presentation and action upon them.

 Other Matters.

No little excitement was caused among the residents of Kensington yesterday when the first band of gyp- sies of the current year was seen on the streets. Everyone asked every one else. whence they came and whittier they were going. but an an- swer was not forthcoming. Finally they turned the corner at Ritchie's store and proceeded to the Elton homestead, where they took up their permanent abode. Immediately the telephone of Constable Ritchie began to ring and mothers told him their children were dreadfully frightened and wished he would order them out of town. Officer Ritchie was unable . to comply with these requests, for the band had rented the plot of ground from the Eltons. It was learned later that the tribe intended to re- main in town for a while and, during their stay, expect to canvass for the sale of linoleum. While it was gen. eral topic about town this morning, nevertheless what cannot he cured must be endured. and the small chill dren of the town will refuse to go to bed nights because of the scare.
