Mass Meeting of Thieves
Demand Share in Russia's
New Political Freedom
Bv .Associatcd PrcSs

Petrograd, May 11.-A mass meet
ing of thieves was recently held at
Rostoff on the Don to demand a
share in the new freedom and a
chance to turn over a new leaf. The
chief of the local militia and the
president and several members of the
council of workmen's and soldiers
deputies were present on invitation.
Practically all branches of the
profession of thieyery were repre-
sented and several of the most ac-
complished members made speeches
in which thy outlined the difficulties
confronting them and declared that
it was impossible to return to honest
pursuits without the help and sup
port of the community. The speak
ers complained that recently the
population had risen against them
and, in some instances, went so far
as to lynch some of their brothers.
Chief of Militia Balmikoff asked
for help and support by the people
in aiding the efforts of the thieves
at reformation. One of the by
standers complained that he had
been relieved of his purse contain
ing six rubles. The thieves roundly
protested that it was not the work
of professional and took up a col
lection to reimburse the victim.

New Pennsy Exchange Is
Now in Full Operation;
Middle Division Changes

Wires have all been cut in and the
new Pennsylvania railroad exchange
is now in operation. 1t is located on
the second floor of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad station and is connected
with all yards and offices in and
about Harrisburg and the main line.
The Reilly street exchange has been
abandoned. This big improvement
was made possible because of the
placing of wires underground and
other important changes to the tele-
phone system. Calls will be made
by numbers only, new directory is
now being compiled.
With these changes will come the
transfer of the headquarters of the
middle division i'm Harrisburg from

building. Assistant Trainmaster ia

forces, and the chief caller and his
men will occupy this building on and

PEACE
IS NOT PLAN OF
RUSSIAN DUMA
Parliament Leaders Declare
Country Will Not End
War in Draw

Petrograd, May II. - Thursday
being the anniversary of the opening
of the first Duma, an extraordinary
session of delegates and ex-delegates
was held at the Tauride Palace. The
members of the provisional govern
ment and foreign diplomats were
also present.
Prolonged applause greeted a
speech by President Rodzianko, in
which he repudiated any idea of a
separate peace. There was an en-
thusiastic demonstration later on
when he proclaimed the loyalty of
Russia toward her allies. The whole
assembly stood and cheered the en-
tente ambassadors.
THE war which was forced upon
us, which we did not desire and for
which we are in no way responsible,
must be brought to q successful ter
mination in such a manner that the
integrity of the country and the
national honor of Russia shall be
entirely maintained" said President
Rodzianko. The innumerable sac
rifices we have laid upon the altar
of this war demand that the peace
should correspond with the immen-
sity of our efforts and that the aim
for which we are struggling, the tri-
umphs of the ideals of justice and
liberty, be assured us.
Can BE No Draw
The Germans oppose to these
splendid ideals their own program,
which to tally different-the heg-
mony of the world and the enslave-
ment of the nations. The struggle
for principles so mutually contra
dictory cannot terminate in a draw
but only by a decisive victory by
one or the other of the adversaries
Only the complete defeat of Ger
many militarism will assure the hap
piness of the world"
Prince Lvoff, the premier, also ad-
dressed the Duma gathering.
1T is not the wonderful almost
olution; it is not the power displayed
and the rapidity of development
which astonish the world, but the
idea which directed it and which en-
braces not only the interests of the
Russian people, but those of all the
nations" said the premier. ut is
true that this revolution compels us
to endure a period of great trials and
| raises in our paths to social happi-
ness the grim specters of anarchy
and despotism. But you representa-
tives of the nation may be sure that
the work you ihaugurated and have
pursued despite all obstacles, disillu-
sionments and hostile elements, will
not have been in vain"

Harrisburg in two days has pledg-
ed $l1, 1853 toward the Boy Scout move
ment.
This announcement was greeted
with cheers at the noon luncheon
held by the Scout campaigners at the
Board of Trade Building to-day.
1t is not question now of raising
the remaining 5000 but how much
over the sum set the amount collected
or pledged will run.
1t was a jolly crowd that gathered
about the tables when Chairman
George w. Reinoehl called the cam
paigners to order. Success was in the
air and the division captains await
ed eagerly the reports of the Red
and Blue teams, to see how the con-
test between the two of them stood.
Blues Forge Ahead
Yesterday the Reds were ahead.
To-day the Blues forged to the front
and when the last of the figures on
the big board were tabulated it was
found that the Blues had collected
or pledged a total of S2,SS6, while the
Reds had but $2,169. Much of this
was due to the work of the team cap
tanned by Henderson Gilbert, which
turned in exactly $1,000 for the Blues
The flags We're transferred from the
tables of the high team of yesterday
that captained by William II. Benne-
thum, Jr., to the winner of to-day 6
laurels.
The rivalry has been so keen be-
tween the Reds and the Blues that
Andrew Il. Buchanan, head of the
Blues, went down into his pocket to-
day for a paid advertisement in the
TELEGRAPH, calling the attention
of the public to the Boy Scout cause
and giving the names and addresses
of all his team captains, so that vol
unteer subscribers might send in their
money.
The last luncheon will be held to-
morrow noon. Until that time il will
be a free for all race" the teams

confined to persons listed on the cards

of the United States to enact laws

which, as a nation, we are engaging
was one of the chief resolutions
adopted by the State Federation of
Labor this morning. Resolutions
were also adopted pledging the Fed
Grafton of Labor's support to the
President and Congress during the
war and urging the cooperation of
the Federation and the State grange
for the conservation of the nations
resources. Disorder marked the Ses-
sion to such an extent that President
James II. Maurer was unable at
many times to control the meeting.
Delegate Charles A. Brown intro
duced a resolution that was later
passed urging that great wealth in
every instance be heavily taxed so
that money as well as men be con-
scripted for the present war. Stress
was laid on the fact the present high
cost of living made the great masses
of the toilers unable to stand any
greater tax on their resources. 1t
further asked it be made a Federal
law with a heavy penalty attached
for any one to gamble in the necessi-
ties of life and that a maximum
price be put on all foodstuffs so the
workers might not be the pawn of
the men in control of the food of
the nation.
To Cooperate With Grange
Plans are under way for a per-
manent cooperation between the
Federation and the State Grange
that they too might act together
and serve the food of the nation to
the greatest possible extent. A per-
manent office will be established for
both organizations to use as head
quarters. The resolution was intro
duced by II. j. Wheeler, of Allen
town.
Resolutions were also adopted
asking that labor be represented on

RUSS MINISTRY
TO FORCE ISSUE
WITH RADICALS
Socialists Do Not Know What
Kind of Government
They Want
VISIONARIES AT FAULT
Provisional Government Fear
ed Only Because Leaders
Are of Higher Class
By Associated Press

Petrograd, May 1.-THE govern
ment in making suggestion of a coan-
ton ministry, appears to have put
the issue squarely up to the Social
lists. The move on the part of the
ministry is seemingly an effort to
remedy the anomalous situation in
which the country finds itself
through having nominal govern
ment with the power lodged else
where. Yesterdays call upon the
Socialists, as represented by the
council of workmen's and soldiers
delegates, was by way of shifting
some of the responsibility for govern
ment upon the elements which WELD
the power and which assume the
right to direct, criticise and thwart
the acts of the ministry.
In endeavoring to determine what
il is that the Socialists want, the
ministers have developed the fact
that there is a wide divergence of
opinion among the Socialistic groups,
but that they are practically united
in a desire to evade responsibility for
the government of the country.
Socialists Balk
The suggestion that representa-
tives of the Socialists take a hand
in directing the difficult affairs of
the nation met with a flat refusal
on the part of the Moscow council
of deputies and the "Bolshi Nike"
meaning the extreme letters in Pet
rograd. The proposal ELECTED only
slight support in the Petrograd coun-
ell of deputies. Among the latter
out of six prominent leaders inter-
viewed, only two, Stankevitch and
Kameneff, favored a coalition cab
met. Tseratelli considered it impos-
sible and Tcheidse, Stekloh and Dan
declared that the movement was not
( opportune at the present moment.
Apparently the objection to coali-
tion is based upon the distrust of the
cabinet which the Socialists regard
as retaining a taint of Imperialism
from the old regime. Practically the
only criticism of the ministers is that
they represent the Bourgeoisie and
therefore must have imperialistic
tendencies. At the same time the
Socialists realize their own limita-
tions and are not willing to assume
responsibility for ousting the present
government and assuming the actual
conduct of affairs.
May Force Issue
The ministers have limited at the
possibility of forcing the issue b.
resigning unless they receive the sup
port that they have solicited. The
outspoken threat to resign in body,
uttered in the heat of last week S
crisis, brought from the council of
delegates the frank avowal that the
council is not ready to assume gov
ernmental responsibility.
