London, Dec. Z5.--( -(CofreSponueHce of The Associated Press)-A graphic
 story of the murder by drunken Rus
 sian soldiers of Prince Sangushko, a Polish noble, and of his two daugh- ters, the Countesses Rzysczcwski, is
 related by the Petrograd correspond
 cnt of Lloyds News.
 Before the war the tragedy late lv enacted at Slavuta would have sent
 thrill of horror throughout Europe"
 says the. correspondent. As it IS,
 the bare fact that the venerable
 Prince Sangushko, 90 years old, had
 been murdered, has been announced,
 but the ghastly details of the crime
 have only just been revealed.
 "The castle of Slavuta, built when
 the district of South Western Russia,
 where it stands, belonged to the King
 of Poland, lies on the outskirts of
 little manufacturing town of the same name. Owing to the unsettled s.ate of the country, which is in- fested by deserters from the army, the military authorities had sent a guard of dragons to the castle, treasures accumulated by the Sang ushko family in the course of the centuries.
 "One of these dragons caught soldier from neighboring village, cutting down tree in the forrest the castle and tackled him. The thief was slightly wounded, but not severely enough to prevent his running to the neighboring viii lage, where his regiment was sta toned, shrieking that the guar dat the castle was trying to murder hlm. The soldiers comrades at once seized their rifles and surrounded the cas- tie of Prince Sangushko. They be- gan to fire, and the dragons on l guard returned their fire. All the time the officers and the members of l the regimental committee were ap~ oealing to the insurgent soldiers to obey orders and to cease firing.
 Suddenly they gave way, only that deputation from the regimental committee should search the castle, as they were con- vinced that the old Prince had stored guns for use in the cause of the unter-revolution. Of course, there were no machine guns, and all that was found was few sporting guns and revolvers.
 "Just as suddenly as the crowd of standing in the courtyard of the castle, had yielded to the appeal of their officers, came new up road, and, in an instant, they had overpow- cred the guard, and rushed into the castle. Neither threats nor appeals had the slightest effect on them. They destroyed, in a fit of maniacal fury, everything that they could lay hands on. Pictures, furniture, stat utes, draperies were destroyed blind ly, ruthlessly. The venerable Polish magnate and his two nieces, the young and beautiful Countesses Sszy zczcwski, fled to one of the attics, hoping that, if their home was to be ruined, at least their lives might be saved. From early in the morning, when the marauders began their at tack, until five o'clock in the after noon, the sacking of the castle went on. Then the soldiers retired to the  What about the Prince? cried one of them.
 And the lovely Countesses ? added another.

According TO the supreme regent the
Royal arcanum has several thousand

The Royal Arcanums' new patriotic
efforts will be directed toward stimu-

The July term Of hastings court
will close this week. and a recess will
be taken by Judge Richardson until
October. At that time the fall grand
jury will be called, and all the cases
forwarded to Ii from the police court
for the months OF August and Scptem-
Der will be heard.
There may be further instructions
by Judge Richardson along the inves-
legation OF moral and other civic con-
dltions. 1t was intimated by the Judge
when he discharged the grand jury
several days ago that further inquiry
into police department rumors might
be Investigated. particularly as to the
part played by former Policeman Frank
Waller.
In the meantime, II is probable the
police situation may adjust itself. and
that Waller may have been located and
brought TO justice. 1t was said yes
terday that the police have in no par
ticular relaxed their efforts to locate
the reereant officer. and that when
found he will be brought back to face
the charges against him.

indicted by the June grand jury were
