The fact that another governors

defeat OF the management which has

SOVIET SEXES PAPERS
BY PARIS BURGLARIES

PARIS. July 10 ASSOCIATED Press) -
The Paris police were occupied to-day
with a mysterious Russian affair, in
which two burglaries, two suicides and
perhaps an assassination may figure.
The motive is said by the authorities
to be the desire on the part OF the Soviet
Government to procure evidence against
the revolutionary Socialists now on trial
in Russia. The starting point was
burglary Of the old Russian Embassy
in the Rue de l'Universite. where Basil
Maklakoff. representative of Gen. Wran-
gel in Paris. and former Premier Keren-
sky make their headquarters.
A burglary in Kerensky's private resi-
dence followed and It Is understood that
papers were taken in both cases.
The police to-day made searches in
the hotel room and apartments occupied
by several Russians. including three
young men who represented themselves
to be students. named Zander, Petroni
and Kossorotoff. and one woman whose
name Is Fettschemko. Here also papers
we're seized. but their nature was kept
secret
They are also investigating the sup
posed suicide of a young woman and
man. believed by some to have been
in connection with the case.

After this meeting another was held
few days later. also called over the

there was anything significant in the
meetings and TO declare that they were
held for the purpose OF clearing up
accumulated routine details in connec-
