her removal said the district attor-
ney, 'I shall have my own physicians
examine the woman and will abide by
their decision. I see no reason why
Mrs. De Saulles should have any more
liberties than any other person in a
similar position
DR.. Guy F. C1eghorn, the county
physician. who. with two other ply
sicians, made an examination of Mrs
De Saulles- last might, said today he
did not believed her condition justified
her removal to a hospital. She need

fcould be given in the 3atl.

District Attorney Weeks said today
that he has detectives gathering evil

The north half of the new STRAIT
ford avenue bridge, the commission
for building which was appointed as
far back as June 1874 and which It's
dallied along with non-union labor
and expensive delays to traffic will
be opened to the public on Saturday.
The opening will not be- heralded by
cerenN ny because Of the far from
complete stage of construction al
though tits likely that Mayor Wilson
and members of the bridge comnis-
sion viii be present late, in the at
ternoon to congratulate themselves
The opening will be perfunctory and
merely carrying out a custom that
has long existed in municipal contract
work
With a beginning in 1914, hold-ups,
one after the other, which the, coun-
ell first declined to permit but which
reverehtless were allowed under in
structions from the bridge negineer,
it would be 1920 before the bridge is
completed, if the delays continue.
Work of connecting two tracks of
the Connecticut Co. with the new East
Side span is being pushed forward to-
day. A temporary plant platform has
been laid on the steel Orders as
makeshift for the permanent pave
ment that is later to be laid. Wooden
trusses have been bolted on to carry
the overhead trolley-wires and the in
terror Of the operating towers has
been completed. The bridge will open

GIGANTIC spy SYSTEM BUILT UP
BY FORMER EMPEROR NICHOLAS
REVEALED IN DOCUMENTS SEIZED

On nearly every newspaper was at
least one spy. The spies took part in
committee meeting, melted to breach
of the political repression laws or to
actual crime, and kept the security
department we'll informed.
Every spy had 'klitchka," or
nickname, by which he was known
to the police. The departments re-
cords bristle with such nicknames as
Fatty. Long Nose. Sunday Boy, Ele-
plant and Arsenic. The spy had also
two or three faxed surnames, and he
often changed his town and name
when. he fell under the revolutionary
suspicion. Many spies and informers
Cike the famous Father Gapon,
whose treachery on Bloody Sunday,
1905, led to his being hanged by a
revolutionist engineer), were at one
genuine revolutionaries and became
later betrayers and informers. Some
seem to have served both sides hon.
estly and earned the approval of both,
and some do not seem to have known
with which side they sy1npathized. A
notable case is Trukhanoff-real name
Nikitin, nickname Perky-who arous-
ed the suspicion of his terrorist COM
rades, was threatened by them with
execution, and to rehabilitate himself
| was. obliged to kill the gendarme Of
f1cer with whom he collaborated. The
| murder of Grand Duke Sergus in
Moscow in February, 1905, was due
| to the same motive.
The origin OF crime with the aim
Of discrediting non-terrorist political
| associations and frightening Nicholas
into repression went on a great
| scale For blood money of $3.50 a
mechanic was hired by the depart
| ment to fire at Gen. Djunkowski, gov
ernor Of Moscow, but he was instruct
| ed to be sure to miss. He executed
his instructions precisely, but
through carelessness killed passer-
by.
In violation Of the nihilist novel ira
dition, very few women were employ
ed as spies OF informers, but a few
| noted cases have been exposed. In
Moscow three sisters named Palitsin
| betrayed scores of workmen, after
getting confession from them by
means OF Stimulating love.
The lists show that the department
was a hard task master. In addition
OF paying it's spies badly, it spied on
them. M
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-08-07

Petrograd, Aug. 7.-Thirty-three long
lists of spies, informers and agents
provocateurs in ex-Emperor Nichols
pay have been published by the COM
mission for securing the new system
Of government appointed by the pro-
visional government Immediately af-
ter the revolution. Fifty more lists
may be expected. The total number
of these secret legionaries of autoc-
racy is expected to reach $4,000. Those
whose guilt is beyond doubt have been
put in jail, but it is not yet settled
whether they will be tried and pun
Iished or merely kept in Jail until all
peril of reactionary counter revolu-
ton has passed.
The commissions reports depicts pre-
cisely the same system of espionage
and state provocation to crime as
f1ourished in Turkey under Abdul
Hamid II. The distinction is that
Abdul Hamid ran his spy and provo
cation system directly from the Yildiz
kiosk, whereas Nicholas entrusted his
system to the notorious "Okhrannoe
Otdielenie,'' or security department,
which occupied a big building in the
Basil Ostrov district.
The first act of the triumphant rev.
dictionaries was to seize the security
departments secret papers. Many of
these were burned in Jbonffres outside
the building. The more precious doc
uments, especially those relating to
the state organization of crime, had
been kept i'm safes and so escaped de-
struction. The revoluuonaries also
seized tens of thousands of secret rec
ords in the department provincial
offices, and from these, backed by con-
fessions of Imprisoned spies, the lists
are compiled. The lists will be fol-
lowed by five volume history Of es-
pionage under Nicholas H.
/ As revealed by these inquiries, au-
tocracy's spies and infornaers were
much less picturesque and romantic
than they appear in the typical nj
hilist novel. Almost all belonged tc
the more ignorant working class or te
the minor bourgeoise. They were
paid badly, the average wage for or.
ganizing political crime or betrayins
accomplices being $40 month. The
|spies were usually instructed to be-
lcome members of secret revolutionary
or terrorist organizations. among
these being the social democratic par.
lty the social revolutionaries with
their ''fghting committee the popu.
list socialists and the maximalists
