MARTIAL LAW FOR MOSCOW.
soviets to Grappie with Counter
Revolutionizt League.

HELsrNoFoRs, Oct. 1.-THE Central
Committee Of the Moscow Soviet Govern
ment has resolved to declare martial
Jaw and create a special committee with
fullest authority to fight the counter
revolutionary league. which still has
ramifcations In vatious parts Of the
country.
The direct occasion of this step II un-
doubleday the recent bomb outrages In
Moscow. in the first of which thirteen
Bolshevist commissioners members Of
the governing council. or Soviet) were
reported killed by bomb thrown dur
ing a Soviet meeting September rs. Ten
other persons were reported to have been
killed by a bomb hurled into the state
funeral procession of the victims OF the
first explosion.
Although the Moscow despatch refers
10 the activities Of the counter revolu-
tlonary league" conveying the impress
sion that the bombs were thrown in an
effort to reverse the results of the revo-
luton and restore reactionary forces to
power. earlier reports from MOSCOW and
,Petrograd have Indicated that the ter
roristic campaign may quite possibly
have been carried on by a social revo-
iutionary group which has long beer
carrying on a vigorous campaign against
the Bolshevist (Social Democratic)
regime and had earlier resorted to ter.
roristic methods against the opposing
radical party.

GREAT FINAL RUSH
FOR REGISTRATION
Boards Swamped by Outpour
Of Men and Women All
Anxious to Vote.
RECORDS OUTDISTANCED
Only Four Districts In Entire
City Had Filed Returns Up
to 1 A. NJ. To-day.
RECORDS OUTDIsTANCED

New York city's registration OF pros
pective voters for the 1919 election ap-
parentiy has broken all records for the
city. A veritable delugc OF registration
streamed In upon the clerks In all OF
the registration places yesterday after
noon and last night, with the result that
the registration machinery was swamped.
Although the legal closing hour was 10
O. clock last night. when that hour ar
rived there were long lines Of waiting
registrants present In most of the shops
and schools, where the boards have been
working for a week. In many cases II
was long after midnight before the last
name was inscribed upon the records.
Even the rain that came Just after
darkness failed to stop the outpouring
of registrants It seemed too that the
failure of women to register earlier in
the week could be answered with the
explanation that most Of the skirted
voters saved up the Job OF registration
MS q duty to be performed As part OF
the Saturday night shopping expedition.
At many Of the registration places OF
those who appeared In the last few
hours at least half were women.
Early returns from the districts where
the count of the days work had been
compiled showed In most instances that
half as many persons were registered
yesterday as had been registered on all
of the FIVE preceding registration days.
If this proportion was maintained the
party managers said they had no doubt
that all previous registration records
would fall. since last years record al
ready had been far outdistanced by the
returns for the registration UP to the
start of yesterdays business
At o'clock this morning returns from
| only four districts-two In Manhattan
, and two In Brooklyn-had reached Po-
lice Headquarters. On all preceding
nights in this years registration period
that hour saw the police in receipt Of
returns completed for the whole city
and the records sealed up for delivery
to the Board OF Elections. This morn
ing, however. II appeared that some Of
the returns might not be received until
this afternoon.
The first Brooklyn district to report
was the Thirteenth, which showed 3.4S1
| registrations yesterday, bringing the
weeks total for the district up to II .0ee.
The third Brooklyn district registered
3.705 yesterday, and 1858 for the week.
Manhattan's first report came from the
Eighth district. showing S,s25 registered
yesterday and 11.579 In the week. When
these districts had been reported at Po-
lice Headquarters nothing at all had
been received in the way of final reports
| from This Bronx. Queens or Richmond,
beyond walls Of anguish from the regis
| tration clerks, who still were up to their
| ears in work.

NOSKE SURPRISES
BERLIN NEWSPAPER
Thus Replies to Charge OF
Central Murder Stations"

BERLIN. Oct 10 tdeiayed) Gustav
Nosle, Minister OF Defence, has sup
pressed the newspaper Fveihett for three
days because Of its accusation that
central murdef stations were being
maintained in Berlin which were offering
assassins big money Inducements and
employing weak minded persons for
similar purposes.
During a heated debate in the Ma
tional Assembly the Independent So
cialist representative, Herr Hencke. de-
livered n virulent attack upon the Gov
eminent, asserting that military
murderers' department" existed and that
murderers were being rewarded and
promoted. He added that members Of
the middle classes were being con-
tinually armed ana that large quantities
of weapons were being turned over reg
ularly to students societies, ex-solidiers'
clubs, symnastic societies, rife clubs,
farmers organizations and other bodies
which would use them against the rev.
olution.
The accusations Of Deputy Hencke
caused most stormy scenes In the As
sembly.
The Independents failed to score their
expected sensation in the National AS
sembly by their revelation Of the pres
ence of West Russian Government In

AZORES AT A STANDSTILL
Population Has Shown Little Change
In Last Century-lost Trade In
Sugar and Tobacco.

The population of the Azores is
about 245.OOO. the number of inhabi-
tants having changed but little in the
last century. and. If anything. having
diminished. This fact is probably due
more TO various political and social
conditions than to climatic, agricul-
tural, or other conditions Of the
islands. In the early days the Portu-
guese literally 'raised cane" on the
islands. and established a large sugar
trade with England and other coun-
tries. Tobacco and fruits were also
produced in great quantities. but. with
the discovery and settlement of Brazil
and other South American countries.
Portugal rather discouraged produc-
ton in the Azores in order to aid her
colonies in South America. With the
sugar and tobacco trade snatched from
them. the AZoreans began the cultiva-
ton Of the vine. and the making Of
wine and other liquors became one Of
the chief industries of the islands.
Tie population consists mainly OF
Portuguese, Moorish. and Flemish set
tiers. with few negroes and a fair
sprinkling Of English settlers.
