COSSACK CHIEF AND GIRL
IN GREAT MURDER ORGY

Journalist Ardasbeff, who had arrived
shortly before Hadjetlaehe, backed by
twenty million rubles, TO conduct a
propaganda bureau. 1t was Arda-
sheff's surrender to the white lights
that caused him 10 forget his mission.
He had the money and believed him
self beyond the hand of the Moscow
government.
Hadjetlache really had been named
to succeed Ardasheff, and. arriving
here, found the'latter turning to profit

dasheffs change in allegiance and the
word came back to "extinguish" him,
according to the police.
Then the colonel called on Dagmar.
She had loved the liking of the ladies'"
az Ardasheff styled himself, and was
furious when he deserted her. Hadjet-
lache played upon her fury. He also
enlisted the aid of the monarchists
because Ardasheff had once been open

Dagmar resumed her calls on Arda-
shelf. Frequently at night her limou-
sine was seen to draw up under the
trees In front of his villa, until one
night when he came out with her and
they went riding together. He was
never seen alive again.
Last week Russian living on the
Island of Bollstanas, where Hadjet-
lache had his villa, informed the police
of mysterious nocturnal happenings.
There was a raid and so persons, In

NO REFUGE IN BANKRUPTCY
Melted Out to Men Unable to
Pay Their Debts.

A curious custom was prevalent In
enteenth centuries. Anyone who found
II necessary to liquidate his affairs
was obliged to weor green cap-n
humility to himself and a warning to
others.
Those who made a hobby Of getting
rid Of their Indebtedness by way of
the bankruptcy court should at all
costs steer clear OF China. Bank
ruptcles are almost unknown in that
country, as they entail immediate ex-
ecution.
} A similar drastic punishment used
10 be meted out to delinquent In
Japan.
To come nearer home, one need only
go back to little before the Act of
Union to find that debtors in Scot
land were obliged to wear garments
of diverse colors. a suit Of gray and
yellow being the most common.
In Siam, man unable to meet his
liabilities was put In chains and COM
PEELED to work as slave for his cred
itor. Should he escape, his wife, chill
dren, father or other relative were
seized in his stead
At one time bankrupts were consid-
cred criminal offenders even In Eng
land. As matter of fact, certain
cases Ct fraudulent bankruptcy have
incurred the death penalty In this
country. Any concealment Of books
or the secreting Of property by a
debtor was so punished. Under this
law man called John Perrot was

NEW YORK, March s. Trans

workmen became more effective and
there were indications that the few
ferryboats which did not cease oper-

MAY ACT MONDAY
|. IN LEGISLATURE
| ON PROHIBITION
Legislature Takes Up Many
Bills at SeSSion--More Are
introduced
Bv Special Corressondenf.

TRENTON, March 5:-The state
senate will reach vote on national
prohibition next week sometime,
maybe Monday night. The Senate
Judiciary Committee has reported
without comment the Wells resolu-
ton to ratify the national amendment
and it will come up for third reading
Its passage in the senate, which at
first seemed to be sure, is now re-
garded as somewhat problematical,
because while there are a number of
local option men in that body it is
regarded as doubtful If all of them
will go as far as total prohibition.
An informal and unofficial estimate
shows that if the resolution does pass
1t will not have many more than the
required eleven votes in the upper
branch of the legislature. 1t is DOOM
ed to defeat in the House of Asse embly
when it reaches that body.
The first step looking toward final
adjournment of the present legisla-
ture has been taken by the action of
both senate and assembly in passing
a concurrent resolution fixing the end
of next week as the time limit for
the introduction of bills at this ses-
sion. 1t is anticipated that final ad-
journment will be reached about the
middle of April.
