RUSSIA MAY SEND
 25o,OOO MEN WEST
Easier to Equip Them in France
 Than Import Guns

Marseilles, April 22.-The transfer of Russian troops to the western front has been talked of by military people for two or three months. The reason, as now explained, is that it is easier for Russia to arm and sup plv fighting material to Russian troops on the western front than on the eastern. Russia still has many hundred thousand more men under training than she can use on her fighting lines, because the Russian problem continues to be not how to get men but munitions The allies can obviously provide complete equip ment for Russians more easily> in France than by shipping to Russia. Possibly a quarter of million men will be sent into France this spring.
 The Russian troops continue to be the center of enthusiastic demonstra- tions from crowds in the approaches to Camp Mirabeau, where the newly arrived force is quartered. The Rus, sians show no i'll effects of their Ions journey and already are engaged i'll exercises and drills, displaying the fine equipment and the soldierly bearing of the picked men making up the contingent. The officers Of the Russian force are the recipients of rounds of receptions and of con- gratulatory telegrams from many al- lied quarters. The authorities decline to permit mention of the number of men who arrived or of the route the transports followed.
 After field service held at the Or thodox Russian church at Camp Mir abeau the Russian troops paraded the nrincipal streets of the city with flags, guns and full military equipment. The newcomers received an ovation as they passed through the densely packed crowds. the people waving handkerchiefs and flags and sending up continuous rounds of cheers.

The committee in charge of the work for better babies hopes to begin
 active work in a few weeks. Pre- vious to the opening of the milk station a graduate nurse will visit homes where there are babies and will confer with the mothers in re- gard to the care of the infants, and the preparation and care of their food. It is desirable that the work of the nurse and the milk station be carried on in New Britain as in other cities of similar conditions not only through the summer months, but during the whole year. A very modest estimate places the sum needed for this years work at $2,000. Thus far, in response to cards sent out by the committee $360 has been received. The committee asks that replies be sent in as promptly as possible in order that the work may be put upon a business basis. Help the babies of our city.

IMMORTAL BARD
 A LOW IMPOSTER
Judge Rules Bacon Wrote All
 ShakeSpearian Works

Chicago, April 22.-That William Shakespeare was an imposter and cheap actor to whom had been in trusted by Sir Francis Bacon, as au- thor, the manuscripts of the plays that for three centuries have borne Shakespeare's name; that these manu- scripts had been intrusted to Shake speare solely for the purposes of pres authorship of these plays rested in Bacon alone and not in Shakespeare, is the obiter dictum of Judge Stan ley Tuthill of the Circuit Court of Chicago. Judge Tuthill, himself a Shakespearean scholar rendered this decision yesterday. He expresses his belief that Bacon and not Shake speare wrote the plays which for near ly 300 years have been generally &C., cepted by the world at large as the work of the Bard of Avon.
 Judge Tuthill awards to Colonel George Fabyan of Chicago, who is member of the firm of Bliss, Fabyan & Co.,, of New York, Chicago, and Boston, dry goods commission mer- chants, the sum of 5000 damages. Colonel Fabyan recently revived the theory that Bacon was the real au- thor of the Shakespearean plays and that Shakespeare was merely en- ployed by Bacon to interpret these dramatic works Judge Tuthill awards the damages because William N. Selig, a moving picture manufacturer had sought to enjoin Colonel Fabyan from publishing the facts which he alleged to be in his possession, showing that Bacon and not Shakespeare wrote the plays. Colonel Fabyan wrote the plays. Colonel Fabyan has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and and has employed for several years an expert staff of literary workers, versed in Shakespearean literature, with the aid of a cryptic code, to prove his theories.
 It is understood that the Selig in terests are much dissatisfied with Judge Tuthill's decision and that they will carry the matter to the highest courts. Colonel Fabyan. on the other hand, says that he is so convinced of the truth of his theories that he is prepared to take the case to the United States Supreme Court if nec- esSary.

1t is not confined to the Frisco lines
by any means.
The shippers are loading the cars
from this district to capacity, but
there is not a sufficient number to
handle this remarkable increase in
strike has made the situation more
markedly acute. for we were forced to
send cars out of this territory to pro-
tect the company. The inability of the
Frisco to have it's cars returned from
connecting lines is also aggravating
the situation.

At the offices of the Southern rail-
way no statement could be obtained
during the absence of l.. Sewer, gen
eral agent. The Southern is affected
to an appreciable extent and it is one
of the principal coal carriers.
The Seaboard Air Line offices re-
ported that the Seaboard was mostly
concerned with the deficiency in the
number of box cars, inasmuch as it
has little tonnage of coal. Its cargoes
are made up principally of pig iron and
byproducts. Since March there has
been no surplus of cars. Conditions
are not regarded as critical, though
admittedly serious.

BOARD OF PARDONS
OUTLINES POWERS
In Report Body Discusses
Just How Much Author
ity Is Given 1t

Montgomery, September 13.-(Special.)
The power of the government to issue
pardons and paroles and to restore polt-
ical and civil rights to persons convicted
of felonies Is discussed at length in the
report of the state board of pardons for
the period extending from January IS to
October / of last year. The report has
just been received from the hands of
the printer.
In debating this question the board cites
in full section 124 of the constitution of
1901, prescribing the pardon powers of
the governor and the board, and in sup
port Of certain conclusions quotes the
discussion which occurred on the floor
OF the constitutional convention of 1901
before the section was adopted The
board draws the following conclusions:
THE board of pardons has no authority
to consider petitions for clemency in
cases of misdemeanors, nor in cases of re-
prieves for sentences of death. The gov
ernor has no authority to grant pardon
communication or parole of any nature in
a felony case without referring the Pc
tition to the board of pardons or until
60 days after such reference and upon
the failure of the board to advise the
governor 1t is also shown that the gov
ernor cannot restore civil or political
rights in any felony case unless the ap-
prevail of the pardon board is obtained.
During the period covered by the re-
port the board examined 76 applications
for clemency, recommending II paroles
and three pardons. Two applications for
the restoration of civil and political rights
were acted on favorably.
The board is composed of Attorney
General w. L. Martin, Secretary of State
