Mrs. Skinner Prostrated
 By Death of Husband

Not even the slightest clue has been obtained by the police in their efforts to apprehend the murderer of Louis A. Skinner of 167 Black Rock avenue. who was hit over the head with a blackjack. in a vacant lot ner Couse street last Saturday night.
 Efforts of the police to interview Mrs. Skinner in hope of gaining in formation. which might lead them to a clue, have proved fruttless as Mrs. Skinner has been prostrated by the death of her husband.
 The police believe that it was a one mans 'job," and that he stop. ped MT. Skinner by some pretext, and had conversation with him and that he was struck down as he started to walk away. The fact that he real ized that some man whom he had seen had hit him was evidenced when he asked the question, T wonder why that fellow hit me?'
 The fact that the wound was on the back of the head shows conclus lively that the blow was struck from behind It is & significant fact that he spoke of but one man in his brief period of consciousness.

HOW PROPAGANDA
 AIDED DOWNFALL
Posters Telling Greatness of Allies and America Had
 Bad Effect.

Washington, March 7-Raymond F. Robins of Chicago, former head of the American Red Cross mission tu Russia and one of those whose tes- timony champions of the BOlsheytk government have insisted should be heard, testified today before the Sem ate committee Investigating lawless propa ganda. He said among other things that before Russia. failed as an Ally, Allied and American propagan- dists unwittingly contributed largely to the downfall of Russian morale and what followed.
 Poster were all over Russia said MT. Robins telling how great the Allies were and how powerful America was. Some of the posters said the United States would have twenty thousand airplanes and four million men in France. The Russians, read
 ing these declarations said to them selves well. if all that is true. we will go home for while There is no doubt that this 7ropa ganda ma
 teriauy assisted in the disintegratiop
 of the E lssian morale, and that it
 had exactly the opposite effect from what was intended"
 Describing conditions as he found them when he went to Russia, he said that early in the Kerensky
 regime he became aware that it was failing because it did not pay enough attention to affairs in the outlying districts. Kerensky's civil power, the witness asserted, was inefficient and the Soviet control grew up naturally. MT Robins attributed the economic l paralysis in Russia to the fact that before the war Germans were the | economic. directors of Russia. and that l when they disappeared nobody was , competent to take their places. MT. Robins said that he was anti 1 Socialist when he went to Russia and 1 that his experiences there had not | changed his ideas in regard to Social ! ism
