BADLY COLORED REPORTS

OFFICIAL VLKSION OF III SSIAN TiiotiiLi: is uisculditld. Police PIniiM l.nid In Advance of the Itlots Lahor Disorder Make the Sitnittioii More Serioun. ST. I'KTKP.SPUPG, March 21. It is significant that, though the police report on the recent riots, published, as expressly stated, In order to correct false rumors concerning the riots, does not deny the most - serious of tho rumors circulated, whioJi are to the effect that men and wom-i en were killed here and elsewhere! The report does not mention the subject of the students. Tt gives, however, the names o four who flic d here, including one woman. The report is not generally credited with being an impartial statement. It is claimed that the passage relating to the disturbance in the church is particularly distorted, manifestly, it is said, to prejudice the devout masses against the students, the intellectual element and the factory workmen. The statements that students entered the church smoking cigarettes, that a student struck a priest and another student caught the chief priest rudely by the arm are discredited by eyewitnesses. The facts are, the trouble occurred entirely outride the church until the Cossacks pressed 300 persons into the church and fought them to the back wall. It is also denied that holy water was used to dress wounds. The students sent a church servant expressly for other water. It is learned now that the police not only prepared for the event themselves, but made previous arrangements at one of the hospitals for the anticipated wounded. They diso had carriages ready in neighboring courtyards. Lecture will hardly be possible for the remainder of the year at any of the higher institutions. The participation of the factory hands in the riots is considered 'extremely grave so far as the future Is concerned. It is understood that measures will b taken Monday to forestall the possible marching of laboring men In the suburbs to tho center of the-city. Strikes have broken out. in the largest of the local iron works. Among those arrested last Sunday on the Nevsky Prospekt In consequence of the student disorders were M. Tugan-Daran-offsky, a former teacher in the Moscow University ami an intellectual leader of tho Russian Marxists, and M. Von Struve, a writer. Iletrny a Serious Situation. NKW YORK, March 21. Commenting on the Associated Press dispatch from St. Petersburg that another high official had been shot at, the Herald says: "In view of the control exercised by tho Russian authorities upon telegraphic dispatches, the fact that a dispatch worded like the foregoing has been permitted to leave the country suggests many possibilities. First and foremost attention centers on the chief personality in the dominion, the Czar himself, the more especially because of the rumors which were current in Perlin ein Tuesdaylast that an attempt had been made upon tiie lite of his Imperial Majesty." DU. BUCK'S MARRIAGES. Tiicy Seem to Have Left Ulm in u lludly Mlied Condition. PP.IDGFPORT. Conn., March 21.

As so much has been said about police legislation, it seems to me proper that I shomd state my own position. The laws against gambling, disorderly resorts, sales of liquor under prohibited conditions and other laws for the suppression of vice in the city of New York are not enforced by the police. The police appear to be protecting the lawbreakers. Such protection can only be explained on the theory that money is being paid therefor by lawbreakers. The conditions have become so bad that citizens have been forced to organize a committee to do. the work which ought to be done by the police. This committee is employing its own detectives. The necessity for such a committee and the protection of vice and cnme by the police have been conclusively demonstrated to my mind by the successful raids upon gambling houses and poolrooms recently made by the district attorney and the committee. It is evident that such illegal resorts as gambling houses and poolrooms cannot exist unless their location and the facilities which they offer are generally known, and the claim made by the high police officials that they are unable to suppress illegal resorts which are known to the driver of every cab is obviously absurd. "The police legislation enacted at the present session of the Legislature was thought by some to be an adequate remedy for the evils then existing. The only effect of this legislation seems to have been to Increase the malign inefficiency of the police force as an agency for the encouragement of crime and the collection of money from criminals. I do not understand that the Governor takes issue with me upon any of the facts above stated. I understand that he does not desire to propose additional police legislation for the city of New York during the present session of the Legislature because the promotion by him of any new legislation at this session would place him in a more or less antagonistic position to the views expressed by him in his first message to the Legislature, and because if the citizens of New York city do not like police blackmail their best remedy is to be found not by an appeal to the Legislature, but at the polls. "The Governor considers these objections to additional police legislation at this session of the Legislature sound. I do not. This is the only difference between us. In the near future there probably v.'ill be a conference of some leaders of the Republican party. I have confidence in the wisdom of these leaders. I have no interest in this matter except to advance what seems to me for the public good. I have no pride of opinion with respect to this police question. I am ready to accept any conclusion which may be reached at such a conference, and I assume that the Governor will not be entirely unlnlluenced by the views of the leaders ot his party." OBITUARY. M. C. Lenry, Former Partner of "Old Hnteh" In n Corn Corner. CHICAGO. March 21. Michael C.

Article XIV of the Lair of AHioclatlona Criticised In the Depnties. PARTS. March 21.-Comte De Mun, Conservative, made a notable speech In the Chamler of Deputies, to-day, during the discussion of Article XIV. of the law of associations, the purpose of which Is to suppress teaching by religious orders. This provision is one of the most important of the bill, and its fate is deeply interesting to the middle classes and to the aristocracy, who largely intrust the education of their children to religious establishments. The public galleries and the floor of the Chamber and the ministerial benches were filled with attentive listeners to a fine arraignment of the article. Comte De Mun declared that the proposition of the article simply anticipates a tyrannical state, monopoly of education. "The delicate question of what doctrine should be taught to children," he said, "ought not to depend on changing parliamentary majorities. Otherwise we may have the God of Jules S'mon during one Legislature, no God at all during the next.

OLD ACS As people get old their bodies dry up, like plants when winter approaches. Their skin wrinkles and their joints harden. The back aches. The shoulders and arms get lame. The leers become weak. The feet are tender and sore. The natural oils of the body are exhausted, and something is needed to produce the strength and vigor that Nature herself supplies in the earlier years of life. The best thing for this is Omega Oil. It is a godsend to the aged if ever there was one. It makes the declining years of life free from the pains that come as the days go by.

.yIany a grandfather and grandmother find in Omega Oil the only thing that does their aches any real good. They simply rub it on their sore spots, and'the pain stops. It is good for everything a liniment ought to be good for. 739

The human body is like a delicately adjusted machine. When a part is worn out, or through abuse becomes rusty, it affects the whole system. The kidneys and liver are among the most important of all the organs in the body. When they get out of order the entire system suffers. Keep them running smoothly and good health follows. McLean's JLiider and Kidney 'Balm will regulate these organs and keep them in perfect health. Years of use in thousands of families have proved its value in a.l troubles affecting the liver and kidneys. If your back aches; If your head aches; If you lack ambition; If you are easily tired and worn out; It means your kidneys are out of order. Buy a bottle to-day at your druggist's. It may save you useless suffering. Pfade by The J. H. McLean Medicine Co., S7. Louis. Mo,

and the true God for the following four years by a majority vote." Proceeding to sketch the history of the conquest of liberty In teaching, Comte De Mun exclaimed: "JIM. Waldeck-Itouspeau and Millerand are Jacobins and are -reeking to enforce the ideas of Danton, but where Napoleon failed, M. Waldeck-Rous-seau will not succeed, even though he secures a parliamentary majority. The proposition of Article XI V can never be carried cut, even though it should be voted by the chamber. We demand that parents shall not be deprived of the right to bring up their children as they wi.h. and the congregations are alone able to give moral education." The speech was received by the Rightists with prolonged applause, and debate was adjourned. CHEESE USED AS A GAG. 1ommI1s1o CniiHP of Denth of n. Mnn Wlioe Hody Was Found in a Illver. CHICAGO, March 21. A piece of cheese four inches long, three inches wide and three-fourths of an inch thick is thought to have been the cause of the death of Charles G. Carlson, of South Chicago, who disappeared Christm.'vs eve, and whose body has been found In the Calumet river. When Dr. Joseph Springer held the post mortem examination to-day the piece of cheese, unmasticated, was found in the stomach. The theory advanced is that the cheese was used as a gag by assailants of Carlson, and that when he was thrown into the river the inrush of water and gasping forced the piece of cheese down,h!s throat and into his stomach. Stephen I'urke and Robert Feeler, two young boiler makers, who are known to have been enemies of Carlson's, have been arrested charged with the murder. rarl- 3Iorii!iiK Fire. At an early hour this morning fire started In a three-story building at No. 425 East Washington street. The Are originated on the second floor from an overheated stove. The ground floor of the building was occupied by Simpson, a photographer, and the upper floors by a Mrs. Haker as a rooming house. The firemen were able to speedily get the llames under control and it is thought the loss will be small. Valuable Tapestry. L.ondon Mall. A ejualnt little story of treasure trove is going the rounds among London artists. In obedience to the instructions of the council of the Royal Academy one of the curators ol that institution set to work the other day to clear away out of one of the cellars a heap of miscellaneous rubbish, the accumulation probably of the last thirty years. Among other things he came upon what he first took to be a roll of old carpet. Luckily, however, before stacking it with the other things to le removed he unro;ieo it and arkd the secretary, Mr. Frederick A. Laton, to come and Inspect It. It proved to be a very Interesting old tapestry, and after some consideration the council thought it was of sufficient value to justify their sending it to a well-known dealer In works of art who makes a specialty in tapestries In order to have it cleaned and If necessary repaired. Next day the dealer In question addressed a courteous communication to the council offering to purchase the tapestry for the sum of Ul.r). I'p to the present it is believed the owners of the tapestry have not made up their academic minds to part with it. Perhaps their hesitancy is due to the fact that, as one of them remarked. "If offers us l.ü"0 for it It is probably worth at least 15M)." He bases this opinion somewhat upon the fact that the dealer in question was showing some artists his collection of tapestries the other day when one of them, pointing to a small, apparently unimportant piece, aaid.
