The Russ also bodlly defied the authorities, printing the resolutions The adopted, by of the these professoriential bodies served to emphasize the growing outcry against the Bouligan Commission which is preceding with its work without any representatives of the people, thus furnishing the Liberals with justification for the charge that the execution of the reforms outlined in the Imperial rescript is completely in the hands of the bureaucracy against which all classes of society are fighting. presidency of Privy Councilor Kobeko has written a letter advising the boycott of the Moscow Gazette, which he says is stirring up war between the ignorant and the intelligent classes.

The commission which has been dealing with the newspaper censorship under the presidency of Privy Councillor Kobeko has decided to abolish the censorship of special telegrams to daily newspapers. The resolutions adopted by the professors were preceded by a strong preamble declaring that the closing of all the higher schools was only an insignificant evidence of the general crisis in Russia. "The whole of Russia," it was added, "awaits impatiently a complete reform in the organization of the government. We believe it to be our duty to declare that the country 1s on the verge of a precipice. The poverty stricken Russian people are driven by the malevolence the government into and economic questions cannot be solved agrarian and industrial Plat revolt.

The social by the bureaucracy. Political reform is imperative. Each minute of delay increases the anarchy and revolt. The government should be reformed in accordance with modern principles; representatives of the people should have the principal influence and the bureaucracy should be relegated to a minor role. The reformed government should be absolutely democratic.

The people's representatives should make the laws and control the administration and the budget. All class privileges, political or religious, should be obliterated. The principle of universal suffrage should be adopted, which will never be accomplishable through the bureaucracy. Consequently, the abolition of every restriction on liberty of speech, meetings and the press should precede the convocation of the representatives of the peo- Peasants Divide Big Estate. St.

Petersburg, April 12-The peasants at Orgeteff near Odessa, recently seized the land of some of the big estates and proceeded to divide it. Troops have been dispatched to scene. "Near Byelostok (about fifty miles from Grodno) the peasants demanded that the landlords cease to use agricultural machinery, and as their attitude became threatening Cossacks were required to disperse them. An additional force of Cossacks has been dispatched to Saratoff to quell the agrarian movement there. JURY DRAWING IN QUEENS.

Judge Gaynor Declares Methods Employed Have Long Been Illegal. Grand Jury Investigating. (Special to the Eagle. Flushing, L. April 12-Late yesterday afternoon Counselor Shibley, representing Charles E.

LeBarbier, counsel for Mrs. Josephine Leighton Noble, who is charged with the murder of her husband, and whose trial 1s soon to begin, applied to the court for permission to inspect the minutes of the Grand Jury in that case. Justice Gaynor fixed to-morrow as the date for a further hearing on the application, which, it is understood, will be opposed by District Attorney Gregg. on the ground that the records of the hearings in the magistrate's court and the examination the coroner are sufficient for the information that Mrs. Noble's counsel desire.

Before court adjourned for the day Judge Gaynor, "Gentlemen, addressed before the Grand Jury, and said: you adjourn I desire to lay before you a matter in relation to the drawing of jurors in this county. This drawing is not done according to law. The abuse has been going on for several years, and somebody should be indicted. I will particularize at a later date." The jury had practically concluded its work would shortly have been discharged, but after Judge Gaynor had spoken the members decided to begin a thorough Investigation of the Jury drawing system In the county. What methods will be pursued, of course, no one, not a member of the jury knows, but it is believed the inquiry will be exhaustive, and it is whispered that some leading officials may be involved in what 1s hinted at as a positive scandal, The belief exists that counsel for Mrs.

Noble has unearthed a plot, to force her conviction by means of illegal methods in picking a jury. It is not known when the ticularization to which Judge Gaynor parre- ferred in his remarks to the jury will be made, but it is assumed that it will be before the trial of Mrs. Noble begins, or at least before it has proceeded far if the judge has any reason to suspect a packed box. jury ARMY AND NAVY ORDERS.

A Lot of Letters, Too, but "Goodie" Says He Didn't Write All Those Things. If Arthur Goodwin, new pitcher for the Brooklyn baseball team, pitched wild balls in the practice work this afternoon it wasn't altogether his fault. How could he show his true form with an enraged chorus girl and several process servers looking for' him with a' breach of promise suit for "Gee!" exclaimed the handsome young pitcher, as he read the first notice of the chorus girl's against him; "this is a fine thing for debut in Brooklyn." actiou, "Goodie," as he is known in the world of the fans, looked like he had been ruled off for the season when saw the nice mess of love letters made public to-day by Myra DuMont, a pretty blonde in the chorus of the "City Sports" burlesque company. He was completely stunned. "I never wrote those letters," he declared.

"I never promised her I'd marry her. Why, never had any more idea of marrying her than I have of marrying that horse," and pointed to a disreputable-looking animal pulling the roller over the grass in the right field of Washington Park, It was just before Goodwin and two others began to warm up a little, and get for the opening game Friday. was in fine shape when he reached the grounds, but after he learned that Miss, DuMont had got a lawyer, and gone to he forgot all his skill, and threw a good many sbaky curves. It was his first experience with a chorus girl, and a breach -ofpromise suit. Miss DuMont is stopping at the Occidental Hotel, over on the Bowery.

She met Goodwin in Albany, where he used to play on a local team, and where he spent several winters. She was a member of the "Jolly Grass Widows' company. Two of the girls got in a fight in their room at the Mansion House in the middle of the night. Goodwin looked out of his door to see what was the trouble. Miss DuMont looked out of her room.

She saw "Goodie," and she declares it was a case of love at first sight. Goodwin says he did not speak to her that night, but that she made first overtures the next morning in the hotel lobby. "Were scared last night?" she asked the big athletic ball player. "Well, didn't faint," responded Goodwin. That was the beginning of a romance that lasted four years.

She has a bundle of nearly 200 letters, alleged to have been written by Goodwin. Goodwin says she has changed his letters and is trying to put a come in a false posta tion. She says her eyes were opened when she read in an Albany paper that Goodwin and his wife would winter in Memphis instead of Albany. Goodwin explained to her that he was not married, although he might be some time. "She was always writing me for money," said Goodwin to-day.

"She says she is not out for the money, but her letters to me show she was. I sent her $5 one time because she said she was dead broke." The thing that Myra a regrets more than anything else is that she spent SO much of her salary on a Christmas present for "Goodie" last Christmas. She actually paid $17.50 for a pair of military hair brushes, according to report. STRUCK BLOW FOR REVENGE. Wells Decorated a Rival Decorator and Will Spend Ten Days in Jail.

Richard Wells, a painter and decorator, was fined $10 or to stay ten days in jail by Magistrate Naumer, in the Myrtle avenue court to on a charge 'of disorderly conduct. He went to jail. He was held also in $500 bail for the Court of Special Sessions, on a charge of assault in the third degree. Wells was arrested Saturday night at Sackett street and Fifth avenue, where, it 1s said, he was creating a disturbance by drawing a large crowd to watch his antics. Otto F.

Peterson, who accused Wells of assaulting him, was present in court and showed signs of pretty rough usage. He said Wells followed him and threw a stone at him. His eyeglasses were smashed, he was severely cut on the head, the blow knocking him senseless. Wells admitted that he struck Peterson in revenge, because the latter attacked him. BALKY HORSE WAS DROWNED.

Animal Backed Into the Bay and Driver Had Narrow Escape From Death. balky horse yesterday paid the penalty of his stubbornness by drowning himself in New York Bay off the South Brooklyn water front. The unruly animal was attached to a dirt truck. By the merest chance the driver escaped with his life just as the waves closed over the head of the unfortunate beast. Joseph Allen, 17 years old, of 97 Thirteenth street, was the driver of the steed.

Several trips had been made from Fourth avenue and Thirty-ninth street to the dumps at the foot of Forty-eighth street. All had gone well and Allen anticipated no trouble. The unloading was commenced, when the horse began to stir and Allen mounted to the seat to bring him back to place. The animal responded to the reins, but in the wrong direction. Try as he would, Allen could not prevent the horse from backing.

He did not realize how near he was to the edge of the water and before he knew what had happened the rear wheels and then the front wheels struck the stringpiece with a bump that unseated him, and wagon, horse and driver went into the bay. Allen, who is A good swimmer, struck out for the shore. Fortunately, no part of his clothing caught in the disappearing truck, or he would certainly have gone down with it. Dripping wet, he hastened to his where his mother attended him, and home, call a for an ambulance was sent in to police headquarters. Surgeon Bliss, of Seney Hospital, ordered the lad to bed and gave him some medicines, which soon put him on the right track to health and comfort.

Mrs. Bauer lives back of the store, which is' located at 161 Pearsall street. It is owned by Mrs. William Huber, and her daughter Mary looks after it.

For weeks stock was missing every morning, and as doors and windows were always intact, the mystery of the burglaries puzzled mother and daughter. They watched for several nights in the store, but nothing happened. Then they sprinkled the floor with flour, and the following morning floury footprints led to the entrance to Mrs. Bauer's apartments. District Attorney Gregg was consulted and Detective Rigney of this office detailed to spend night in the store.

He was awaiting the entrance of a real burglar, when Mrs. Bauer, about 5 o'clock in the morning, unlocked the side hall door and entered, and was caught. Despite the woman's protests that she had heard a noise in the store and had gone to investigate having promised to aid Miss Mary Huber in the effort to capture, the burglar, she was held in $1,000 the action of the Grand Jury by Magistrate Connorton.

F. Murphy's Brother Tried to Induce a Coney Islander to Change His Allegiance. JOB INDIGNANTLY DECLINED. Kenneth F. Sutherland Denies That He Is the Man Who Was Approached, Within the last few days, it was learned to-day on good authority, John J.

Murphy, brother of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, has attempted to induce a prominent Democrat of the Coney Island end of the Seventh Assembly District, who is supporting Senator McCarren, to take the leadership of that district in place of Deputy Fire Commissioner William A. Doyle, Mr. Murphy having agreed to throw Doyle over, John J. Murphy is the big man of the New provided the McCarren man accepted.

York Trucking and Contracting Company and represents his brother in most of the latter's political deals. It was John J. Murphy who tried to persuade John H. McCooey to desert Senator McCarren before the last primaries, theatening McCooey that if he did not fall in line with Tammany Hall he would lose his job. McCooey wouldn't budge and was subsequently removed from the presidency of the Civil Service Commission.

The Coney Island man whom Murphy tried to induce to take the leadership of the Seventh Assembly District in the place of DepFire Commissioner Doyle is said to have uty indignantly declined to accept the Murphy commission, declaring his allegiance to Senator McCarren and informing Mr. Murphy that the friends of Senator McCarren expected to defeat Mr. Doyle at the primaries in September, anyhow. The circumstances of the meeting between the Seventh District, for whom Mr. Murphy agreed to turn down Deputy Fire Commissioner Doyle and the brother of the Tammany Hall leader are not very well known.

It is said, however, that the brother of the Tammany leader sent for the McCarren man under some pretext or other, and, without any ceremony, informed him that it was the wish of Charles F. Murphy that he take the leadership of the Seventh Assembly District against Senator McCarren, or, if he did not care to be the leader himself, to name his own man. The McCarren was to have the support of Tammany Hall and Deputy Fire Commissioner Doyle was to be dropped, The reply of the McCarren man is said to have been very brief, but to the effect that he had no intention of deserting the Brooklyn leader, and, that, anyhow, he didn't feel he could take the leadership of the Seventh Assembly District under the circumstances under which it was offered, because if Mr. Murphy intended to drop Mr. Doyle now there might come a time when he would also like to throw over Mr.

Doyle's successor. The McCarren man is said to have declared he wouldn't feel secure in such leadership. There was no meeting between Charles F. Murphy and the McCarren man, although the brother of the Tammany leader tried hard, it is said, to bring the two together. The McCarren man, however, is said to have declared that he had nothing to communicate to the Tammany leader that could not be said by the latter's brother.

The Tammany leader is said to be greatly dissatisded with the way Deputy Fire Commissioner Doyle has been running things in Brooklyn, believing that Mr. Doyle could have done a great deal better than he did at the last primaries, and that there ought to be more activity among the Tammany men than there is at present. The Doyle men very hot over the suggestion and they are denouncing the methods of the Tammany leader. They say the Deputy Fire Commissioner did the best he could and that it is highly ungrateful on the part idea of of Mr. forcing Murphy him to out even of the entertain Tammany leadership in Brooklyn after vigorous fight he has put up for Tammany Hall here.

Kenneth F. Sutherland, who is the McCarren leader at Coney Island, was asked to-day whether he was the man who had been approached by the brother of the Tammany Hall with a proposition that he become the leader of the Seventh District in place of Mr. Doyle, but he denied that he was. There was a story going the rounds to-day in political circles to the effect that Robert Fury in a recent conversation with several Tammany men in Manhattan offered to bet $1,000 to $600 that Deputy Commissioner Doyle would be beaten at the primaries in his own district, the Seventh, next September.

Representative Going to See Sultan of Morocco--Renewed Tension Expected by Paris. Paris, April 12-Germany's efforts to secure an international conference on the Morocco question do not cause further apprehension here, as the government is aware that practically all the powers having any political interests in Morocco would not participate. This applies to France, Great Britain, Spain, Italy and Russia, and the other European powers have little or no interest in Morocco. Consequently Germany would be practically alone in favoring or participating in an international gathering. It is assumed that the neutral attitude of the United States will probably lead her to withhold participation, if all the interested parties except Germany declined to take part in the proposed conference.

The French authorities do not attach further serious importance to the international conference movement, being convinced that it is doomed in advance to failure. Official dispatches received from Tangier this morning confirm the reports that Count von Tattenbach-Ashold (former German minister to Morocco) has called on the members of the diplomatic corps and informed them that he has been appointed temporary charge d'affaires pending the arrival of the German minister, Dr. Rosen. Renewed tension is expected if Germany undertakes to send a mission to Fez, as the officials here say the effect of such a mission would be to seriously prejudice the success of the French negotiations which are now reaching their final stage. Tangier, Morocco, April 12-It'is officially confirmed that Count von Tattenbach-Ashold.

who provisionally is acting as charge d'affaires of the German legation here, will proceed to Fez at an early date to arrange a special German-Moroccan commercial treaty. American Consul General Philip has canceled his projected visit to Fez. LETTER FROM MC AD0O. Police Commissioner Urges Legislature to Amend Charter in Regard to Traffic Regulation. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, April 12-The following letter' has been written by Police Commissioner McAdoo in support of the Traffic Regulation bill introduced in the Assembly by Mr.

Tompkins: most heartily and earnestly commend and urge the passage of the amendment to Section 315 of the Greater New York charter, with reference to the regulation of traffic. "I can assure the Legislature that there is no subject to which the people of this city are so much interested as in that of making the public streets and avenues safe to pedestrians and orderly and passable for all kinds of vehicles. The present efforts of the Police Department to this end have been hampered somewhat by attempts to show that the present provisions of the charter do not give us the power to make rules and directions for the government of vehicular traffic in the interest of life and health, and I believe that this amendment will clear away any doubts that may exist and would certainly be welcomed by the overwhelming majority of the people of this city. If the members of the committee to which this will be presented could read the mail which comes to this office and hear on all sides the commendations of the present efforts to give the people a chance to move about with safety on the streets Ni which beloug to the public, I am quite sure they would not hesitate about reporting this amendment favorably and see that it passes before the present legislative session closes." STORE NOTES. Admirable Exhibit of Burnt Wood Work at Chapman Pyrography, regarded but a few years ago as a fad, has now reached a stage of artistic development that warrants serious consideration.

The extent of this development is known to those who have kept in touch with this branch of art work, but to a large portion of the community burnt wood work implies a variety of boxes, panels, brackets, tables, chairs and knick-knacks decorated in conventional patterns with a greater or less degree of skill. To such persons the exhibit of burnt wood work that Chapman Co, Fulton, Bridge and Duffleld streets, have been giving for some days past is in the nature of a revelation. About a month ago Chapman Co. offered prizes for burnt woodwork that could be exhibited in their store. The response was a surprise both with regard to the number of pieces and the quality of the work.

Nearly 300 pieces were sent in, and in view of the interest taken in the exhibit and its merit the firm decided to double the number of prizes and award $200 instead of $100, as originally announced. For some days the articles were shown in the department, and for the past two days the larger part of the exhibit, including the prize pieces, has been displayed in three of the show windows. A number of the designs are original, and these, as well as the conventional patterns, are executed with a degree of artistic excellence that is surprising in burnt wood. The shading, the atmospheric effects and the line work suggest the skill of the engraver or the etcher, rather than the productions of the pyrographic Figures, landneedle. scapes and floral alike' hold the atmotifs tention of the visitors to the exhibit to which both children and adults have contributed.

The display is an unusual one and fully deserving of the appreciation and commendation bestowed by those who have viewed this collection of burnt wood pictures and articles, useful and ornamental, at the Chapman store. FOR SPRAINS AND BRUISES SLOAN'S LINIMENT CRAIN GETS HIS $200,000. Aldermen Appropriate Money Asked foz Tenement House Department--Brooklyn Ward Boundaries Changed. The Board of Aldermen, after another lengthy argument yesterday, adopted the resolution, appropriating $200,000 for the uses of. the Tenement House Department.

"This resolution, if adopted, will mean some more jobs," said Alderman Timothy Sullivan, who presided, while speaking in favor of its adoption. His determined support of the measure saved it from being lost. Several Republican members voted against it. The board also voted the following appropriations: $500,000 for the American Museum of Natural History, $200,000 for Bronx parks, $50,000 for emergency repairs to pavements in Manhattan. $200,000 for parks in Richmond and Manhattan.

A resolution was adopted, changing the boundary line of the Twenty-ninth and Thirty-second wards, in Brooklyn, SO that it now reads as follows: "Beginning at the present point of intersection of the Twentyninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first and Thirtysecond wards, northeast through the center of Foster avenue, to Flatbush avenue, thence south through the center of Flatbush avenue until it again intersects the present ward line." The resolution amending the rules of the board so that a franchise shall not be considered to have had its first reading when it is referred to a committee was adopted without further debate. It received just the requisite number of votes, forty-eight, a three-filths vote being required to effect a change in the rules. This amendment to the rules was urged subsequent to the issue of a writ of mandamus against the Board of Aldermen because of the failure of the Committee on Bridges and Tunnels to present by the New York Connecting Railroad. The board likewise adopted a resolution fixing 28 feet as the width of the roadway on Bay Seventeenth street, from Cropsey avenue to Eighty-sixth street. There was a protest on the adoption of this resolution, but, a report on the application for a franchise upon an explanation by Alderman Malone, the objection was withdrawn.
