DUKHONIN'S DEATH DESCRIBED BY 4
 CORRESPONDENT
Eye Witness Tells of Trag- edy in Graphic Manner
 Corpse Pelted With Mud

Paris, Jan. 24.-A vivid picture of the circumstances of the murder. by 1nfuriated Bolsheviki, of General Duk- honin, formerly commander-in-chief of the Russian army, is given by the Petrograd correspondent of the Ma tin, who apparently was an eye-wit- ness of the tragedy. According to his story Ensign Krylenko, the BoIshev- iki mmander-in-chief, endeavored to save General Dukhonin from the mob but his efforts were unavailing and the Russan commander was struck the Russian commander was struck with dozen bayonets.
 The murder took place after the Bolsheviki had captured the head quarters of the Russian army at Mo hilev and followed General Dukho- nin's refusal to request the German army officials to enter into an arrnis- tice with the Bolsheviki. The Gen. eral was on board a train when the mob surrounded him. According to the Mathis correspondent the General appeared at the window of his rail- way carriage.

 They can go to the deuce," he cried. <'Let them kill mel"
 A bullet whistled by, breaking the window, then a second. General Od- intzeff went up to Dukhonin and gent l ly took off his epaulettes. They were | thrown to the mob and were quickly torn to pieces and for a moment he thought he WIS saved. Then a hand full of sailors jumped into the car riage. They seized Dukonin by the shoulders and pushed him to the end of the coach and then on to the plat form. Krylenko ran after them. The generals appearance caused a great uproar.
 ''Kill him right out!" they cried. ''Kerensky and Korniloff got off. Men like him must be killed at once" As the mob pushed closer and closer upon the general, Krylenko stormed and shouted, but no one took any no- | Cice. with a S1nSle DfOW lne SeueIdl was struck down by a>tall sailor from the rebel cruiser Aurora. Dukhonin got on his feet again once, his face streaming with blood. He tried to speak but a dozen bayonets were run through him, and then blows and kicks were rained upon his body.
 The soldiers fought for his clothing, tearing it from him. The corpse, stripped bare, was set up. against a railway carriage and the mob, laugh ing like madmen, started a gruesome game. Sailors, Red Guards, and sol idiers made snow and mud balls and flung them at the generals head.

CHARGE PACKERS
 HOARD HIDES TO
 INCREASE PRICES

Washington, Jan. 24-Hoarding of hides by meat packers, while shoe prices have been climbing, and excess i've profits to the packers, who vir- tuaIly control the hide market. are charged in a report by the federal trade commission submitted today to Congress.
 The commission points out that slaughtering of cattle and calves in the United States increased during the last five years by 5,100,000 head, or virtually 30 per cent.
 Such a record of food animals ought not at the same dime to mean that thee ountry should be forced to pay abnormally high prices for leather products made from the correspond ingly increased take-off of hides," the report declares.
