vath are the pace-makers. Rousch,

Russian Amazons Turn
on Commander in Riot;
Kill Government Agent
BY Associated Prcss

Petrograd, Thursday, Sept. 21.-A
small riot occurred yesterday in the
ranks of the women's battalion drill
ing at Moscow and it resulted in an
attack by girls upon Vera Butch
kareff, the twice wounded girl offic-
er, who initiated the woman suffrage
soldier organization. According to
the Bourse Gazette an infantryman
rescued Commander Butchkareff aft
Ell some rough handling from the in
furiated girls who resented some atcs
of their leader not clearly defined.
AS a result of the affair many of
the girls will be sent home and only
$50 will be permitted to go to the
front.
A second riot of more serious con-
sequences is reported to have follow
ed an attempt by a crowd of women
to take away from one woman a
small quantity of cloth which she
had purchased at the market place.
Militiamen tried to defend the wom-
an and they in turn were assailed
Mounted militia and Cossacks dis
persed the rioters but not until they
had wrecked the militia headquar-
ters and had beaten to death a gov
ernment agent who had shot into
the crowd.

Blackbirds Make
Life Miserable For
West End Residents

IL isn't necessary to journey to far
country places these days to inhale
lhe fragrant odor of the potato, the
pumpkin and the rutabaga, or to
near the full-throated notes of the
ackblrds-especially the latter.
During the cold snap a week ago.
thousands of blackbirds descended
upon this city, presumably upon their
way South. When the weather mod
Grated, the birds decided that Harris
burg was sood enough for them, and
are planning to remain here for In
dian summer.
AT Third and PETER streets it is
SAID that almost Il thousand birds
have taken up their abode. Some
times, when returning from feeding,
tnelr descent resembles a black
cloud, and the early morning hours
are riot of melody from the trees
in that neighborhood and words are
said that wouldn't look well in print
by persons living nearby who prefer
not to be aroused by a serenade, even
upon September morning, when the
first touches of frost appear upon the
hedges, and the head of the house
dreams of buckwheat cakes and
Dauphin county sausage as he turns
over for one last wink.
All summer dozen or more birds
have made their home at Third and
PETER, and the regular residents are
welcome, but these numerous visi-
