Preach Wholesale Massacre
OF Russ Intelligent Glasses

Strange chalk markings on the
doors OF apartments throughout the
city are causing much uneasiness, and
in the absence of other explanations
they are being linked with the general
mass of rumors and reports of efforts
being made for counter revolution.
From Kharkov, Kiev and points along
the Volga come reports OF efforts on
the part of the old secret police to stir
up opposition to the new government.
The situation in south Russian cities
has been complicated by the whole
sale escape of desperate criminals
who are assisting in the disorgani-
cation fomented by enemies of the
government.
J AS an instance while fifty military
prisoners at Kharkov were being re-
leased, 700 convicts made dash for
liberty. At Zhitomir the convicts
mutinied and battle between them
and the guards took place. At the
Vintza prison, in the, Kiev district,
800 desperate criminals escaped and
were making their way toward kiev,
hunted by the new militia. Many OF
the men returned voluntarily, how
ever, unwilling to complicate the task
Of the new government.

FEAR COUNTER REVOLUTION

Petrograd, March 81 Via London
March 28)-The work of agitators,
whose efforts are designed to hinder
the successful accomplishment of the
revolution is becoming apparent with
the subsistence OF activity on the part
OF the military which forced the sup
porters OF the old regime to keep in
hiding during the early days of the
upheaval.
The indications of such work in
Petrograd, which are indefinite in
form, are confused with the possible
designs of horde of criminal pris-
oners who were released from the
jails with political offenders. One
definite instance has been recorded,
however Yesterday a motor car
speeding along the streets scattered
,proclamations calling on the people
to undertake wholesale massacre Of
the intelligent classes.
On other occasions during the night
time similar cars have been running
about without lights. Their occupants
are said to have fired on the militia.
The militia is thoroughly alive to the
danger of such counter manifesto
tions, and the commandant has issued
strict orders for vigilance.

Alleged German Rush Into
Mexico Is Largely Fiction

Washington, March 28.-Officia re-
ports from the Southern department
made public today say reports that
many Germans have crossed into
Mexico since diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Ger
many were broken off are without
foundation. The record OF the immi-
grafton authorities and of the army
intelligence service along the border
show that only three Germans have
passed into Mexico since February 3
in the Brownsville district and sew
enty-eight in the Laredo region, thir.
ty-four of the latter having returned
to the United States. The state
ment follows:
Press reports have stated recently
that many Germans are crossing into
Mexico. Reports from our intelli-
gence officers, which include the rec
ords of the immigration officials at
various points, do not confirm these
reports. Since February 8 there have
been out three crossings in the
Brownsville district and seventy
eight in the Laredo district and none
at other points. In the Laredo dis
trict thirty-four Of those who crossed
have returned to the United States.
"El Paso reports show many cross
ings back and forth, but only those
of residents in the usual transaction

Don't Let Soap
- Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as
it dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruff .-Adyertisement. .a.

Rail Union Heads
Sharply Scored
By Kruttschnitt

Washington, March 2S-Railroad
brotherhood officials were criticized
today before the Newlands joint COM
mittee by julius Kruttschnitt, chair
man OF the Southern Pacific board. In
renewing the recent strike contro-
versy he said the brotherhood heads
took an Arrogant attitude and evil
denced absolute contempt OF the
public, of the president, congress and
the supreme court"
Anyone with contempt for the law
and the courts and his fellow citi-
zens," said Mr.. Kruttschnitt, should
be taught respect by some regulatory
authority. We cannot get good serv-
ice from men who have no respect
for the laws"
Compulsory investigation OF rail-
road labor disputes, but not compul-
sorry arbitration was advocated by Mr..
Kruttschnitt, who said the "involun-
tary servitude Of brotherhood menu
bers is vastly greater to the unions
than to the railroads"
