NEW YORK, April 25.--The inn
preston created in Russia by the lat
est move Of Tchitcherin In signing the
commercial treaty with Germany at
Genoa will undoubtedly be a favorable
one. The relatively small number of
people who understand European poll
tics or who have any articulate opin
ions will probably approve his action,
Irrespective OF their party convictions.
While most Russians fear and dis
like Germany and have dread OF
German exploitation, they under
stand the Germans and their meth
DDS of doing business and have greas
respect for their organizing ability.
For long time. ever since 1t be-
! came evident that Russia would have
to be rehabilitated economically
largely through the services OF for

slams have been resigned to tht
thought that the Germans would prob.
ably do IT,
They will also view with certain
amount Of satisfaction an agreement
with a power which renounces oil
claims against Russia and does gol
demand its share of the imperia

Fire of unknown origin completely
gutted the interior of the building
occupied by the Allerding Products
company on Walnut street just north
of Fifth about 1880 o'clock Monday
evening. A general alarm was sound
ed with three fire companies respond
/ ing promptly, but the blaze had gained
considerable headway before they ar.
rived on the scene. The building is
of brick construction and the property
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company. Several adjoining buildings,
some Of frame construction, were
threatened but due to the quick and
efficient methods employed by the
fire-fghters the blaze was confined to
the one building. The loss to equip
ment and materials is estimated at
$4,000, and the damage to the build
ing at $4,000.
The company manufactures steer
ing gear apparatus and had a large
supply of lumber and other material
used in the manufacture of its pro-
duct stored on the third floor of the
building. Included in the equipment
on this floor was a heating apparatus
and it is from this source that the
! fire is believed to have originated.
4 Mr.. Allerding announced this morn
ing that the loss to equipment and
materials was fully covered by insur-
! ance. A large force of workmen is
busy clearing the wrecked building
and according to present plans fac
tory operations will be resumed next
Monday morning.

be set aside.

gave bond in the sum of $500 for his
appearance I'm the court of appeals at
the October term.
In the common pleas court, Judge
Blair held the defendant guilty OF
contempt of court and, after giving
Hampshire fine of $25 and costs
directed that he be sent to the county
jail until the minor child is surrcn
dered to the Jurisdiction of the court
After Judge Blair had taken this
action, Judge Levering. on behalf OF

tition In error in the appellate court

isdiction in the matter. In that the
