Berlin, Nov. According to a correspondent of" the Frankfurter eltung. who has returned from Russia after being held a civil prisoner there for several weeks, the actual Imperial power In Muscovy is now held by Grand Iuke Nicholas, generalissimo of the Russian armies, and rot by Czar Nicholas.

He gives the following description of conditions at the Russian capital: The Dowager Km press, who usually lives In the Anitschkow palace In the enter of fat. Petersburg, has now oved Intc the small palace on the Is- tnd of Jelagin, which has heretofore been the summer (home of the prime minister.

New York. Nov. 30. Scores of persons thronged the Morrisania police station today to identify the $10,000 worth of loot found by detectives in an apartment at No.

567 Southern boulevard yesterday. A man known as "Mr. Charmawitz" and Marice Kutler. together with a nineteen-year-old girl, were arrested In the apartment and are being held by the police. Pawn tickets were found in the flat which led the police to believe that, when all the loot is recovered, it will amount to about $20,000.

Letters found in the flat showed that Kutler had served time and that he was deported to. Russia about a year ago. The police think that Kutler is the lone burglar who has been busy In the Bronx for two years. The girl claims to be Mrs. Kutler; the man denies this.

STOLE PART OF BIG Couldn't Carry the Whole Thing so They Took Only 250 Pounds of Brass and Bronze. The theft of a cheek-chamber, one of the important parts of a locomotive, from the Pennsylvania shops in East Buffalo over a week ago, has already cost the corporation over $500, and promises to increase daily. The check -chamber, composed of brass and bronze and weighing close to 250 pounds, was taken from a crippled engine, sent to the shops on a rush order for repairs. With the check-chamber missing the work of repairing the engine could not be completed and the company is loosing about $80 a day. Although the big piece of brass and bronze was recovered on Saturday, it was held as evidence and could not be put back into the locomotive.

The men who stole the check-chamber were held for the grand jury and the piece of machinery, necessarily must be retained by the police to be used as evidence when the grand Jury hears the case of the prisoners. There is no telling when the piece of machinery will be returned and installed in the waiting locomotive. And the best the men who stole the brass could realize on it was a few dollars. But the three men, Andrew Brzcynskl of No. 66 Newton street; Stanley Walter of No.

35 Lidell street" and Colman Slomowics of No. "55 Mortimer street, were held for the grand Jury, charged with criminally receiving stolen property. If convicted on the charge they will have to serve a prison sentence. The three men were arrested by Lieut. Oberly, Seth Oonover, chief of the Pennsylvania railroad police, and Detective Maloney, and the big piece of brass was found in their possession.

The foreman in charge of the Pennsylvania shops was a witness. He testi fied to having removed the check-chamber from the disabled locomotive and its mysterious disappearance a few hours later. It required two men to handle the piece of brass and the workmen were dumfounded when it disappeared. A search was' made for the brass, but it could not be located. Chief Conover was notified of the mysterious theft of the chamber and he immediately made the rounds of the big Junk houses on the East Side.

Whewi he arrived at; one he found the missing check -chamber in the wagon of Slomowicz, a Junk peddler. The ar rest of the other men quickly fol-lowefl. The check -chamber was used as evi dence in the hectring before Judge Noonan today. It required two men to carry the piece of brass into the courtroom. FOR AMENDMENTS TO CHARTER Resolution Goes to Aldermen to Recommend Recall and I nitialive.
