RUSSIA REDININANT.
Government Turned Grand Dukes
Hard-won Victories Into Defeat.

Government Turned Grano Duhe =
Hard-won Victories Into Defeat.
New York, March l9.--That the
Russian government deliberately
withheld ammunition from the Rus
sian armies in the winter Of 1914
1915. and thereby turned Grand Duke
Nicholas hard-won victories INTO
crushing defeat, with the Object OF
forcing an ignoble peace with Ger
many, was asserted today by Boris
Iyanovich ALLOW, president of the Ak
sal Machinery Corporation at BostoV-
on-Don, one of the largest industrial
and munition establishments in Rus
sil.
To substantiate his assertion MI.
.Aviov produced letter from the
Russian artillery chief of munitions,
written in December, 1914. The let
ter was in reply to Mr.. Avllov's offer
to make shrapnel in large quantities
for quick delivery on the govern
ment's own terms The letter stated
that the Russian armies were in no
reed of guns or ammunition.
At that very moment, according to
Mr. Avilov, the Grand Duke Nlcho-
las was pleading with the government
for both guns and shells. From day
to dav his earnest entreatics were
answered with the promises that
war supplies were On the way from
America, England and Japan. Yet II
was common knowledge that not q
round of ammunition for Russia had
been finished in America; that Arch
angel had been closed for the winter
and that the Transsiberian Rain cad
was blocked.
"My experience with the COVE
ment," said Mr. Avilov, "was that OF
every other munitions manufacture,
in Russia. The Maltzev factories, the
largest in Russia, offered to supply
millions of 6-inch shells | saw the
letter refusing the offer The resul
the world kncws."
Mr.. Avilov is Cossack of the Dor
by birth. He has been here for sis
months on a military leave of alb
sence, buying machinery for making
munition and agricultural imple
rents, and has placed s2,OOO,000 IL

LARGE NONDAYDOCKET
Number of Cases of Drunkenness,
Disorderly Conduct. Etc, Disposed
BY the Police Court.

Nine men, white and colored, faced
the bar in the Police Court this morn
ing 20 answer the charge of beng
drunk on the streets. One man,
charged with drunkenness, failed to
appear, and forfeited his collateral,
two were dismissed and others as
sessed So each.
Six colorcd persons, male and fe-
male. were charged with dlsorderly
conduct. They were fined 50 each.
A negro generally known as ala
bama." had been arragned to answer
the charge of violating the prohlbl-
ton law. This charge could not be
supbstantiated, but the fact that he
had been drunk was clear. 1t was
also shown that he was guilty of as
sauit and defacing property. he was
fined s5 for being drunk and $50 for
the other offenses.
The above is one of the largest
dockets of the Police Court for a long
time. The blotter last week was at
times devoid of cases, and such as
did appear were disposed at the desk
on the first floor,
The increasing number of Satur-
dav night 'drunks" is attracting at
tention. There is every reason to be-
iieve that the majority of such Of
tenders drink liquor in other places
than their homes a..d the finding OF
bottles of whisky in their pockets is
prina facie evidence that they have
violated the provisions of the prohlbl-
ton law, for which they are liable to
be sent on to the grand jury. Such
delinouents should take warning.

The tragic death of the girl fol-
lows numerous complaints made to
the park officials and to the police
against the discharge of fire arms in
Van Cortlandt and other parks of

have been made by persons In auto

George Elliott, aged %, of Philadel'
