PETERSBURG. March 20. Moft
FtMsatlonal rcporu? are current tonight
that the execution of ex-Lieutenant
S.-hmldt. which has made a deop Impres
ston throughout Russia, has been followed
by an extensive mutiny of sailors at Se
stopol. the massacre of their officers
h4 flring by the fortress upon tho city.
Th-i truth of the story is doubted, this
feeing the "psychological momrnt" for the
appearance of such wild reports. No press
dtepatrttcs confirming the story have been
iertved. but. if the j-cport should prove
b true, the absence of these might be
N-vwated for by the Imposition of a cen-Mtrwhip-
Whole City in Flames.
Th alleged news came in the form of
iwe cipher telegrams to a prominent
member of the Social Revolutionary party,
mch s the revolutionaries have some
iiaw beon able to transmit through ac
complices in the teloKraph offices when
xhf pMhllc and even the government have
unable to communicate.
As trislated and displayed at the of-fli-
of the newspapers here, the tele
grams say brielly that the sailors, infuri
wvd by the refusnl of Emperor Nicholas
i pitrdon Lieutenant Schmidt 'and their
Mtowvsallors. rose In their barracks and
and imprisoned the majority of
their officers. The dispatches added that
tl Crty of Sevastopol is almost entirely
In Oajnos.
it also stated that a student at the

HANK ROBBED OF $4:V2.l 500
Daring- Crime or Band or Experts In
Moscow.
MOSCOW. March 31. The Credit Mu
tual, owe of the largest banks in Mos
ow. was mysteriously robbed by masked
men Kt dusk tonight, the robbers secur
ing 582.500. It was an unusually daring
Job. The facts already developed raise
the question whether the robbery was
committed by or under the direction of
Htme one at present or previously em
pteyeri In the institution. The bank is
ritwucd in Illnka street, in the heart
f the city.
Ttie last of the clerks had Just depart
h1. leaving an Inside guard of three
mm, while under the portc cochere out
m wen a policeman and the house por
tr. The .street was crowded with peo
ple Jwrrying homeward. According to
tlw story of the guards, in the twinkling
of an eye they were confronted with re
volvers In the hands of 20 masked men
who had entered silently by the main
door, which had been locked when the
ttkc force left. Except a command to
the guard to hold up their hands, not a
word was spoken.
The guards were quickly bound and
gHggOil and thrown into a dark corner.
The robbers then took up positions at all
the entrances, and the curtains of the
windows were lowered. The chief of the
robbers, who directed the operations of
iils associates by gestures and without
leklng. showed thorough familiarity
with the location of the vaults. When
all was ready he went to the heavy
borglar-proof safe and with a few twirls
f the knob threw the combination of
the lock, tho heavy door swung open, and
ih! treasure of the bank was revealed.
The plunder., consisting of gold, silver
nd noit-s. was speedily 'thrust Into sacks.
When a clean haul of the money had
beon made, not a kopec being left, the
robbers departed as silently as they
ante, making their exit through the
main entrance and leaving no trace be
hind them. Thoy had been in the bank
les than half an hour.
Twom minutes later one of the
guards succeeded In releasing himsoir
ami gave the alarm. The dumbfounded
lHllceman and house porter, who had
been standing ,in front of the bank
throughout, claim they had seen no one
enter or leave It. An immense crowd
wos attracted to the scene bv the news
f th robbery.
M Vitchnlakoff. the managing director
f the bank, after a hasty investigation,
hastened off to consult Governor-General
Dwtbfissc-n-. n Is the general imprcs
Hn that the key to the mystery Is with
in the bank Itself.

ST. PETERSBURG. March 20. General
Kuropatkln's last order of the day to the,
iirst Manchurian Army, printed In the
Ruseky Invalid (the military organ) to

that they were due to lack of preparation

S A V i N G OF PENNIES
MAKE HERO OF REBEL LEADER
Russian Students Demand 'Prayers
for Soul of SclinilclL
ST. PETERSBURG. March 20.-L.Ieu-tcnant
Schmidt, loader of the naval re
volt at Scbastopo! In November last, who
was tried by court-martial and shot near
Otchakoff Fortress, with three sailors
sentenced to death for mutiny, is being
made a hero and a martyr by the revo
lutionists. The boys of the St. Peters
burg Gymnasium struck today In order
to compel the offering up of prayors In
school for the repose of the soul of the
Lieutenant.
The Russ prints a detailed account of
the execution, from which It appears
that when Schmidt rocolved the news
that the authorities had refut-ed to com
mute the death penalty, he wept for the
three sailors, his companions, saying
they were so young and honest, and he
would prefer to die alone. The con
demned men were taken to the small de
serted Island of Borizan and were shot
at sunrise.
Schmidt addressed his executioners, GO
sailors of the cruiser Teretz, saying:
i -tne ior me ltussian people ana tnc
Fatherland, and many of you doubtless
will hereafter share my death for the
same cause."
Schmidt refused lo accept the sacra
ment, and asked not to b blindfolded.
He met his death with head up and eyes
open. The firing party was stationed at
a distance of IVjO paces. Two of the sail
ors were killed at the first volley and one
more at the third. Schmidt did not fall
until the fourth volley.

Applies Knl re of Economy lo Us
Own Employes Members Take
Revenge on Appropriation
Committee forSHghl5.
WASHINGTON, March a). The House
of Representatives today did business
with a microscope in one hand and the
bill making appropriations for the sala
ries of Its officers and employes in the
otlior. The result was that. Q though 5
hours were spent In reading the legisla
tive appropriation bill for amendment,
less than 25 pages were completed. The
spirit of oconomj In little things was all
absorbing. Points of order were made
and many of them were fatal to proposed
increases In the salaries of officers. Jani
tors, doorkeepers, messengers and labor
ers. A point of order which made the cn-glnc-room
of the House cost $270 Instead
of 5250 a year, as proposed, caused a con
stitutional debate of more than an hour
on the point as to whether the House
could do as It saw fit In the matter of
fixing the salaries of Its employes. The
conclusion seemed to be that It could, and
that it prescribed Its own action by its
rules. However, these rules prohibited
increasing a salary without provision of
law.
The final round for the day was a. de
bate as to whether the Houte could get
as good packing boxes as the Senate did
for Its members, and finally a movo was
made "to eliminate packing boxes entirely
1 from the perquisites of members, which
' failed.
Prince had stricken out. on a point of
1 order, a provision which gave the clerk
of tho House authority to discharge Jan
itors. Some display of temper by members of
the appropriations committee was shown
when points of order proved fatal not
i only to the proposed Increases of the sal
i arles of tho scrgeant-at-arms and door-
keeper of tho House, but to the entire
unprovided for. Llttauer made no effort
to reinsert the regular salary, whereupon
Fitzgerald of New Yofk characterized
this method of doing business as llkejy
to lose prestlgo for tho House. It was a
trick, he said. uid predicted that the com
mittee would resort to the expedient of
supplicating the Senate lo restore theso
salaries.
Prince of Illinois, who had made several
points of order against provisions In the
bill, followed with a severe arraignment
of the committee. It had administered
the same medicine to appropriation bills
from other committees, and now was -becoming
petulant because It waa being
forced to take Its own dose.

WASHINGTON, March 30. Secretary
and Mrs. Taft were the guests tonight at
a banquet given at the New Wlllard Ho
tel In the Secretary's honor by the
members of the Congressional party
which accompanied him to the Philip
pines last year. The menu cardt? termed
the occasion the "Second Voyage of the
Taft Philippine Party." and the affari
was unique In many respects. The ban
quet hall presented a vari-colored scene
with snatches here and there of scenery
from the Sandwich Islands, China, Japan
and the Philippines.
Antl-Hazing Bill In Ohio.
COLUMBUS. O.. March 30. The Senate

carried by the pcnMon appropriation oui.
which brief document was mado the sub
ject of very little discussion. The rail
road rate bill was laid aside for the day
and the major portion of the time was de
voted to the consideration of the fortifi
cation bill. In that connection the ques
tion of the necessity for seacoast fortifi
cations in the Philippines was discussed
at length, with the result that all pro
visions for such fortifications in these
islands were eliminated. The considera
tion nf thf TnpjLsure was not concluded.
There was also a brief discussion of the
I .power of the conference committee to
amend the bill providing for punishment
for premature dlvulgoncc of Government
secrets so as to make the Inhibition ex
tend to Senators and members of the
House of Representatives, but the sub
ject was left undisposed of for the lime.
AVhen the Senate convened Overman
presented an amendment to the railroad
rate bill providing In case of review of
the findings of the Interstate Commerce
Commission by the courts "no writ of
injunction or Interlocutory order shall be
granted by anj District or Circuit Court
without first giving five days notice to
he adverse party nor Until petition and
answer are filed and hearing thereon
had."
The fortification appropriation bill was
then taken up. Teller moved an amend,
xnent striking out the provision for the
fortification ot the Philippines. Allison
and Lodge declared their willingness to
support such a motion.
While the motion was pending, Clark
of Wyoming presented the conference re
port on the bill providing punishment for
the premature publication of secrot In
formation of the Government, explaining
that the conference committee had In
cluded in the list of officials against
whom the prohibition Is made operative
members .of Congre. notwithstanding
they were omitted from the Wl as It

masters of industry and expert artists of faultless creations -- ever brought together by any

not come on the first day we want to urge the importance of a visit today. Every attraction
