WALKER AND B0NJ0N WE'RE ALONE WHEN THE
 SHOOTING OCCURRED
Coroner Phelan Commences Inquest Into Death of West
 End Political Leader. BONJON'S CONDUCT
 WAS VERY ERRATIC Mystery As to Just What Occurred After Walker
 Told Him to Be Quiet.

Just what occurred in the back room of D. E. Walkers cafe in State street where Walker was shot to death by a revolver alleged to be in the hands of Louis Bonion, may never be known, as according to the testimony of witnesses before Coroner John J. Phelan this morning, the two were alone in the room at the time the shooting occurred.
 Coroner Phelan examined many witnesses today, and the hearing is still in progress. It appears from the testimony that Bonjon, previous to the shooting had been acting, in an cratic manner, and had tried to start 8 fight in the saloon with John F. Alexander Bonjon is said to have followed Walker into the back room after Walker had told him to be quiet or he would be elected from the saloon

RUSSIAN WOMEN
 FASTENING END
 OF SOVIET GOVT,
Has Not Realized the Ideals of Their Leaders Who
 Turn Against It.

Stockholm, Sept. 9-(By the Asso- ciated Press) The soviet republic has not realized the ideals of Russian women and they are playing an inn portant part in hastening it's end Their influence in this connection is exerted even more powerfully than it was in bringing the dictatorship of the proletariat into existence. Evi- dence of this has been observed by the writer, who came out of Russia with the American refugees who reached Haparanda, Sweden, last week.
 Maria Spiridonovo probably was the most powerful leader in the establish ment of the BolsheVik power. As the recognized spokesman of the peasants forming 85 per cent. of the Russian population she swung the peasant strength into line and persuaded the Social Revolutionaries of the left to join the Bolsheviki. On July 4, eight months later, she delivered a startling speech of defiance to German oppres- sion, which resulted in the assassina- ton of Count von Mirbach, German ambassador to Russia, and announc- ed that the Social Revolutionaries would make bitter war on the Bolshe- wiki. Several prominent officials have been slain since Mile. Spiridonovo's declaration, and now Nikolai Lenine, are educated women, the former a wounded by the shots fired by Rus sian woman, Dora kaplan, a Social Revolutionist, who said she placed her life in jeopardy to save Russia and believed this could be realized only through a constituent assembly.
 Mile Spiridonovo and Mile. Kaplan are educated women, the formed a teacher. the latter a medical student
 Both are about 30 years old. Until late in, June. Mile. Spiridonovo was the most effective speaker and organ izer for the Bolsheviki. She did not favor the Brest-LitovsIl peace but ac- cepted it as inevitable, and kept the peasant organizations in line until she learned the Bolshevik govern ment was preparing to turn over mil l lions of yards of cloth to the Germans. ShA denounced this in the press. Amsterdam, Sept. 9-Dora Kaplan, the alleged assaiiant of the Bolshevik premier, Lenine. was executed on SApt. 4, says Moscow dispatch to the LokaN Anzeiger of Berlin.

CROWDER ASKS DRAFT BOARDS TO REOPEN CASES
This Request Applies Only to R. R. Men Who Were
 Placed in Glass 1.

Washington. Sept. 9.---Draft hoards have been asked by Provost Marshal General Crowder to reopen all cases
 where skilled railroad employees have
 been placed in class 1 and to deter
 mine anew whether the men con- cerned are entitled to exemption from military service.
 No change in the regulations has been made but it is expected that the reviewing action of the board, taken in the light of industrial develop ments, will result in the exemption of larger number of railroad men and present some relief from a situation that has led to a protest to President Wilson by Director General McAdoo. The review is asked to cover all skilled railroad employees, without re- gard to the branch of the service.
 Men in railroad service between IS
 and 45 years of age who register on Thursday will be held for service or exempted under the new regulations In reference to occupational exemp- , ton.
 The present order only applies to those within the old draft ages who are not in the service.

MT. Fordney said his estimate was predicated on the returns of last years bill, which is the basis of the pending legislation. Designed to raise $3, ,75o, 900, 600, he said, the present law already has yielded $4,441, 600, oo0, and added that the internal revenue bu- reau estimates another billion dollars will be collected. This uncollected billion. he said, was due ito different interpretations of the laws provisions and he does not include any penal ties for tardy payment.
 MT. Fordney criticised several sec- tions of the bill, saying capital should be more literally defined and that the 6 per cent. tax not apply to undis- tributed dividends.
 Capital, he contended, should be re- garded as the value of a property as of March 1, 1913, instead of the orig inal invested amount. Some busi-

Coucy le Chateau and the height on which it stands thus was turned from the north and flank ed at the same time from the south, while thousands of shells filled the ruins of the surrounding positions. Chateau Nogent, to the southeast, was taken about the same time and with 1t the Germans lost positions on which they had spent a tremendous effort. They retired behind their three lines of barbed wire on the line to Fresnes The booty they left behind in two immense engineering dumps included locomotives, railroad material of al sorts and a great number of quick firers and emplacement guns and one 15-inch gun with which they had bombarded French towns far behind the lines east of the Ailette.

 The following statement by Foreign Minister Tchitcherin outlines the con- ditions under which the soviet gov- ernment will act:

The French troops were obliged to face that fire at a range of 20 yards in order to cross the Olse-Aisne canal and the river Ailette. Pioneers throwing bridges over the canal IT wards wide suffered not only from the quick flrers but were in good range of German grenades. It required two days to advance to the Ailette from the village Pont Saint Mard and four days to gain 500 yards of ground. The machine guns were passed thick ly all along the canal in front or quincy and in the woods, thickets and marshes.
 The French engineers finally sue ceeded in bridging the canal and over the first bridge an enraged ser reant charged the Germans around q machine gun position and single hand cd made twelve of them prisoners. Such was the work that went on both along the river and the canal during the five days, each day eXhaustnS Garmanv's best divisions. Twenty two quick frers were found in small thicket called Etuaraissage wood. They were aIhoSI us tlhNh III wood and the more extensive timber ed land fronting Coucy le Chateau and Coucv la Vile. Where the French could get at them they charged and killed the German gunners on their pfeces, but many emplacements were too well hidden or protected for n direct attack and 1t was necessary to shell them.

 Successes also have been scored by the French in the St. Quentin region, where their lines join the British. There have been indications that the Germans intended making stand along the Crozat canal, defending the stronghold of La Fere, the principal outlying protection of the St. Gobain Massig on the north. This plan ap- pears already to have been frustrated by the French, however, a crossing of the canal opposite Liez, three miles northwest of La Fere, having been forced last night.
 Elsewhere the French are right up to the Crozat positions for the entire length of the canal with their infan- trv only four miles from St. Quentin and their cavalry patrols hard on La Fere.
 There has been no further marked advance by the French along the more southerly stretches of the St. Gobain defenses before Laon, where the German resistance now is of the most desperate character. The en- emv is reported to have massed enor- nous numbers or guns III CIAS te9IoA and to be hurriedly strengthening the already strong positions.
 Inroads have been made on the Massif on the west by the Frenchs however, and there are indications that they intend accepting the sta- bilizing of the line in this sector which the Germans so evidently de- sire.
