The Boys Division" of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
departure at the Harrisburg Cen
trail Y. M. c. A, has already proved
its worth. More than a hundred
boys are already enjoying member

Slonal gymnasium class, now have
their own social rooms with game
tables and reading matter-just the
same as the men have those features
TWO rooms on the second floor of
the building have been fitted up
with a cue-roque table, baby size
pocket billiard table, checkers, other
small games, magazines and books.
These quarters make most pleasant
rooms for the boys. The younger
boys are assigned certain periods
for the use of the rooms, while at
other times they are for the use of
boys above the siXteen-year ago.
Hours are so scheduled as to give
all boys an opportunity. Adjoining
the boys social rooms is the office
of the secretary in charge of work
for boys.
Activities will be provided for all
ages of boys and younger men. A
class for boys as young as ten years

KERENSKY'S OLD
MINISTER'S SHOT
DEAD IN SICKBED
Russian Band. Enters Hospital
and Murders Shingaroff
and KokoShkine

'Petrograd (Monday), Jan. 21.-Pre-
mIer Lenine and Secretary of State
BOnch-BurevItch have ordered the
Red Guard and soldiers to comb the
city for "the mOtOrcar with Red
Guards and sailors who killed Shinka-
ron and KOkoshkine." The murder
of the former ministers has created
feeling of protest and revulsion
among the BolsheNik officials. who
are anxious to prevent the situation
from getting beyond their control.
The Petrograd Council of Work
mems and Soldiers Delegates has
adopted a resolution of the most
strict censure of the murderers, de-
claring it never could approve of
summary justice and that no crimes
had been committed by those killed.
The resolution urged all soldiers to
search for the murderers.
A. 1. Shingaroff, minister of finance
in the Kerensky cabinet, and Profess
sor +. f. Kohoshkine, state con-
troller under Kerensky, were mur-
dered in their beds last night in the
Marine Hospital.
M. Shingaroff and Professor Ko-
hoshkine were removed recently to
the hospital from the Fortress of st.
Peter and st. Paul because of i'll
ness. A dozen armed men entered the
hospital and demanded that they
be shown the beds of the former
ministers.
Professor Kohoshkine was killed
as he slept, two bullets being fired.
NJ. Shingaroff wakened and protest
ed. Six bullets were fired into his
body. The assassins then left the
/ hospital.
NJ. Shingaroff and M. Kokoshkine
were arrested by the Bolsheviki last
month, Notwithstanding the fact that
they had been elected delegates to
the Constituent Assembly and nom
! inally were immune from arrest.
They were prominent members of
the Constitutional Democratic (ca-
det) party, which Is opposed bitterly
| by the Bolsheviki as representative
of the bourgeoisie.
NJ. Shingaroff, an expert on Rus
sian land, financial and military
questions, was considered by many
the ablest members of Kerensky' 5
cabinet. He served as minister of
agriculture in the Lvoff cabinet,
which preceded that of Kerensky,
and in 1916 was a member of the
Duma delegation that visited Eng
land, France and Italy. He prac-
ticed medicine before entering poll
tics.
