ANARCHISTS TRIED
 TO MURDER ROOT
Destroyed Bridge and Sent Burn-
 ing Coaches After His Train

Chicago, Aug. 15.-A startling story of the two attempts by Russian anar- chists to wreck the special train car rving the Root commission from Pet rograd to Vladivostok has reached Chicago.
 Mrs. Gregory Mason, wife of the correspondent of the Outlook in Rus sia, related to the Japan Advertiser of Tokio, Japan, how the anarchists burned a wooden bridge at Viatka, three days east of Petrograd. and when they found that they had failed to wreck the train set fire to passen- ger coaches and rolled them in the direction of the American special, in which the leader, Elihu Root, was ly- ing asleep. This attempt was frus- trated.
 Mrs. Mason relates in the AdVer- tiser, copies of which have just ar rived in Chicago, that shortly after she reached Viatka on the Siberian express, where she found the Root party halted by the wrecked bridge, some one began crying that the Bol- shevikl (anarchists) had set the town on fire.
 "Waiters and trainmen from our train and from the Root train carried i buckets of water from these trains | and from the station in an attempt to put out the blaze,' she continued. Their efforts were pathetically futile. 1 The fire soon spread to three passen- ger trains that were on the tracks 1 near the warehouse and to number ! of scattered freight cars.
 l "Ostensibly trying to remove these | cars from danger, but really in the at 1 tempt to carry the fire to the Root l train, number of soldiers and work l men pushed several of these blazing 1 coaches down the tracks just to the l windward of the Root train, so that 1 the high breeze drove the flames di- rectly against the cars carrying the
 American mission. Only the prompt 1 action of the engineer of Senator l Roots train saved 1t from catas-
 t-ophe. He backed tho train away
 l., the blazing lf,rs and did not stop l until he was five miles out in the ! country.
 The explanation which was given
 us by the railroad officials at the sta :
 ton and by the militia of Viatka was
 that the fire had been started by the
 same miscreats who had burned the
 bridge. It seems that parallel to the l wooden bridge which was destroyed
 was a stone bridge just being com- pleted.
 When the anarchists learned that
 work on this had been so speeded up
 that 1t would provide an avenue of
 escape for the Americans within a few hours they decided on a last des- perate measure and set fire to the stockhouse.
 At length, a few hours after this
 second nre this stone bridge was
 ready for use, The conductor of the
 Root train ordered his engineer to

VALESKA SURATT AT
 FOX THEATER TODAY

Another popular New Britain favor ite will head the Fox program tonight and tomorrow. when Miss Valeska Suratt will make her bow in her latest and one of the best Fox releases that has been seen in some time, Wife Number Two" Although the title Is suggestive of certain domestic condi- tions common in certain families, yet the story and setting of the picture are distinctively original. Miss Su- ratt, as usual, appears in many unique creations in the way of cos- tunes, but she does not by any means rely upon clothing to accom- plish most effective dramatic situa- tions. It is by sheer ability that she has made herself one of the most ap- preciated stars in the motion-picture business.
 Another exciting adventure of the increasingly-popplar Stinfaree shows an extraordinary episode in the life of this lovable bandit. The Pathe News and many other superior films will also be on the program.

proceed and our train was about to follow when there was a protest from the soldiers of several troop trains which had pulled into Viatka on their way to their homes in Siberia, hay ing had enough of war.
 They said that it was an outrage to suggest that trains carrying Amer ican capitalists and Russian 'Bour- geois' should precede them, the real lords of Russia, so the American mission was forced to submit to an other considerable delay while the Russian army proceeded on.
 "Of course the noise and excite mcnt which had ensued when the warehouse fire was discovered had awakened MT. Root. Perhaps the most interesting of the impressions of anarchical Russia which he will have to report to President Wilson were gained during those exciting moments when the Russians he had had come to aid were trying to burn him alive"

"SOAP BOX" ORATORS GO.
No More Seditious Speeches at Street
 Corners.

New York, Aug. 15.-The police today were instructed to pursue more vigorous policy in dealing with the street corner speakers who mako attacks either upon the United States or her Allies. and to make arrests for utterances that are seditious. This announcement was the result of ac- tivities by patriotic organizations fol- lowing the arrest recently of Cleve- land Moffett. the author. MT. Mof- fett was arrested when he insisted on stopping a meeting at which a soap box orator was making remarks against America's allies.
 The American Defense society. Of which MT. Moffett is member, to- day issued statement saying that Irresponsible persons of German sym pathies were permitted to make speeches in the street advocating pol ioies directly opposed to tho safety of the nation and that tolerance of pro- Germans and paciflst fanatics in gen. oral was intolerable and foolhardy with the country at war, and invited all persons who might have 1nforma- tion regarding such meetings to notl- fly the office of the society that suit able action might be taken.

Harry Underwood had enabled her to cruelty her own artistic instincts fo' so many years.
 Little Marion, all in fluffy white, with crimson sash and hair ribbons had hard work to keep her feet and hands still as she stood demurely be- side her mother, while back of her hovered black Betty most barbaric crimson turban surmounting her wool ly head waiting to assist us with our wraps.
 I knew that no one else but Lillian could ever have induced Betty to put on that turban, knew also that not one hostess in a thousand could have conceived or have framed the picture which Williams menage presented, and realized as looked at Lillian's flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes that she was enjoying her reward in the spon- taneous admiration which irradiated Robert Savarin's face, feeling strong enough to banish for the moment his memory of the menace that had just passed us.
 Lillian's triumph lasted for only a moment however. Then she looked at us searchingly, and with her swift in- tuition divined the truth
 "Something has happend!" she said. You've seen that woman again!'
 In few rapid words I told her of my encounter with Mrs. Allis at the station, and of her driving past the door, evidently fixing the number in her memory but few minutes before.

 Lillian consulted a tiny jeweled wrist watch and spoke briskly, with more of the old decision in her voice than had heard her use since she had met Robert Savarin again.

 Underwood's.
 Alfred Durkee stepped to my side unobtrusively as the taxi from which Mrs. Allis's watching face looked out went slowly past.
 'Is there anything you want me to do-call an officer, or anything like that?' he asked in a low voice, and his tone was worried.
 Mot now" I returned, and I had hard work to keep my voice steady as I replied, for this espionage of the woman who had threatened to be re- venged upon me was affecting my nerves. 'I'H speak to Mrs. Underwood advise me-"
 Lillian, herself, met us at the door. and the sight of her was enough to make one forget that trouble existed. I couldn't help but contrast her ap- pearance with that of the outrageously rouged creature with dyed hair ana daring f1amboyant gowns who used to greet me at her door, the coarse mask she had put over her real self to please the gross ideas of her husband, Harry Underwood.
 Tonight she was resplendent Tn 6 dinner gown of black filmy material through which gleamed an underoress of Crimson silk. Black always makes any woman's neck and shoulders loob winter, and Lil1ian's, always beautiful, were more wonderful than eyer rising out of the filmy bodice. Her halr, which Lillian's menage presented, ana was done high in a quaint fashion that reminded me of old-time pictures and the effect was enhanced by an enormous high comb of odd workman. ship, surmounting the soft coil of hair. Long jet earrings that must have be- longed to her grandmother depended from her ears, where against her bodice was fastened a cluster of crim' son roses.
 "something Has Happened.''
 Upon almost any other woman the effect of the ornaments and the coiffure would have been grotsque, but Lillian, with her unerring artistic sense, had struck just the right note for her particular type, and I heard Robert Savarin catch his breath at the picture she made against the back ground of her wonderful white and crimson living room, into which she had impetuously drawn us. Even through the excitement under which I was laboring I could not help won derf-Ag anew how evn her strong de- termination to play the game with
