ST. PETERSBURG. May 13. Tomorrow, the Russian May day. is awaited with nervousness both by the public and the authorities. The revolutionary, agitators would like to make it another""red Sun day" in every city of the empire, and everywhere are urging workmen to cele brate the fete with anti-government dem onstrations and to resist with arms. If the police and troops Interfere. I The agitators are covertly aiding some radicals who, not having the courage to come out Into the open, arc trying to pave the way to set up the cry of shooting down of innocents in the event of blood shed, by warning the authorities that the meetings are intended to be pacific; but a perusal of the countless proclamations with which St. Petersburg Is flooded proves conclusively that it Is really Intended to precipitate collisions. Many workmen are said to be armed with bombs and revol vers, and a large stock of pistols of an automatic repeating type, smuggled In for the revolutionists. Is being offered for sale to the Initiated at cost price. Fortunately saner liberals, and even those of radical views, realizing the futility of bloodshed, are counseling the workmen not to jeopar dize their lives uselessly. The police also have issued systematic warnings. Determined to Demonstrate. Nevertheless, disdaining the advice of well-wishers and defying the warnings of the police the Social Democrats and So cial Revolutionists have cailcd big meet ings to be held at Smolensk field on Vas slll Island; at the Preobrajensk Ceme tery, on the Schussclberg Chaussee, where some of the victims of January 23 are burled; at the Petrovsky Park, In the Vlborg quarter: at several places In the Putlloff district and at other Industrial centers. It Is almost too much to hope the day will pass in Russia without collision or bloodshed. Governor-General Trepoff and Director of Police Kovalensky, while ex pressing the hope that all will be quiet to morrow as far as St, Petersburg is con cerned, admit the possibility of disorders. At the same time, they Insisted to the Associated Press that if blood is spilled the responsibility must rest on those who deliberately provoke it. Host of Troops on Hand. Elaborate precautions have been taken.. The garrison of the city was further rein forced during the week, and a large de tachment of Don Cossacks arrived to night. They stared open-eyed at their first view of the Kazan Cathedral and other sights of the big city, as they rode to their quarters. Twenty-five thousand Cossacks were stationed tonight in vari ous quarters of the city, principally In the outskirts, and all of the guard regiments are under arms, but specific written or ders issued by Prince Vlsslllchikoff, Grand Duke Vladimir's aid, who will be in active command, are that under no clrcum utances shall orders to Are be given to the troops unless they are actually attacked. Special orders hav also been given to the Cossacks, who with the gendarmerie will be used to disperse the crowds, to not even draw their cutlasses, unless In the event of a Cossack being killed or wound ed, but to employ their whips freely, if necessary, to scatter demonstrators. Peaceful crowds, if not organized for demonstration, will be permitted to as semble. ' 3o Sign of Coming Trouble. Today there was no sign of approaching trouble. The workmen paid their accus tomed Saturday visits to the bathhouses and went shopping in the town and other wise enjoyed the half-holiday. There -was no Indication of the tension apparent on the eve of the trouble of January 22. At Goulyanye Park, beyond the Putlloff In dustrial quarter, there was the traditional promenade of girls of the poorer classes before prospective benedicts, and the mer rymaking was as noisy and hearty as ever. FLAME LEAPS "CP AGAIN. Riots and Disorders Spreading Over Russia Once More. SPECIAL CABLE. ST. PETERSBURG, May 13. Every where throughout the country Is recru descence of strikes and disorders. Schools are closed, factories are at a standstill and business and workingmen are or ganizing for a revolution. At Vttaa and XJbau the revolutionists .have looted the stores in the military trains. RevatatloR Is rapidly spreading. In the threatened districts the doctors have decided to co-operate with the gov ernment, but to tender their services at the Zemstvo saaKarwae. Much iadtsaatloa he been aroused. here over the statement -widely published In certain American newspapers to the effect that if the revolutionists should be successful they would repudiate the public debt. In answer to this, th leaders of all the nationalities and so cieties, including the realists, state that they pledge themselves to assume exist ing obligations. Much alarm has been caused in Jewish circles by the government's official warn ing that Jews will be obliged for the sake of their own safety to remind their people who are carried away by passion not to provoke the Christians to hatred, otherwise there will be trouble. Anti Jewish riots are spreading' throughout the provinces. ALIi ARE FOR A PARLIAMENT Moderate Liberals Overruled in Zemstvo Congress. ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.-(1:55 A. M.) Last week witnessed a notable victory Xor advocates of a straight Parliamentary regime. M. ShlpofTs compromise pro gramme for a representative body with only a consultative voice in the sovern- ment, which was at first received with. mucn applause from the moderate Liber als, was not only rejected by the second Zemstvo Congress, which met at Moscow, but seems to be losing instead of winning supporters. The news from Moscow Is that senti ment Is now practically crystallized against any compromise. Arbitrariness, It is contended, Is the root of all the ills of Russia's body politic, and as long as all power remains In the hands of the sov ereign no guarantees for the future can exist. The big merchant class o Mos cow, which wields great influence, is be ing gradually won over to declarlng that the Russian people should enjoy as much liberty as the Germans do; and news from other quarters shows that Zemstvos and Doumas, as well as professional bodies, are planting their banners on this ad vanced ground. The Moscow Douma sent a deputation to Minister of the Interior Bouligan with a strong set of resolutions In favor of a Parliamentary regime under the motto: "Liberty, order. Instruction and eco nomic welfare." In Moscow, as well as elsewhere, there are nightly assemblages in private houses, where such men as Professor Molukoff, who is well known in America, lecture on the science of government. Professor Kovalevsky, the world-famous social or ganizer, in a public interview ridiculed ShlpofTs scheme as utterly impracticable and unworkable as a theory of govern ment. "His Idea -of a Zemsky Souvlet," said Professor Kovalevsky, "Is in imita tion of the Prussian plan, which resulted in division In 1S4S. To allow representa; Uvea -of the people their opinion, but re serve power to the sovereign, is impossi ble. To convoke the people's representa tives to simply express their wishes is not popular representation, and would only end in opposition and not be of aid to the government The Inevitable result would be either the capitulation of the govern ment to the majority or a revolution." SCALDING FOR CZAREVITCH Imperial Infant Rescued From Cru elty of Nurse. PARIS, May 13. There was a rumor on the Bourse today of an attempt on -thy life of the Russian Emperor, and apparently It was the outgrowth of a "aismitch to the Petit Journal from St. Petersburg, saying: "Society is agitated over a mysteri ous drama which has occurred at Tsarskoe-Selo. It is alleged that a nurse was about to put the infant heir to the Russian throne into a bath of boiling water 'when the Empress in tervened In time to save the child."

HIS MARRIAGE WAS NEAR Kansas Officials Suspect Drugs and Robbery, but Kansas City Police ' Disagree With Them Was Traveling for Health. KANSAS CITY, May 13. (Special.) In view of today's developments, there seems little doubt that the death of H. V. Croker, the young son of Richard Croker, the New York politician and ex-Tammany leader, was due to over indulgence in liquor and opium, super induced by weak heart. For the past IS hours Kansas City detectives have becn'scourlng the town for a clew that would indicate foul play. The Investi gation was as thorough as could be, yet nothing has been produced to In dicate that the young man received mistreatment, except with his own nands. Croker's assertion while here that he carried but a small amount of money, depending mainly upon his checkbook. would indicate that robbery has not entered into the case. So far as can be learned, Croker made no effort to raise money in Kansas City. These facts, together with a statement by Richard Croker, Jr., telegraphed from New York today, .seem to Indicate that no mystery surrounds the death. The gist of Mr. Croker's statement Is that his brother has suffered from heart trouble for a year. His departure for a vacation in Oklahoma, where he intended visiting had been advised by his physician, who thought a change of air would be bene ficial. The only conflicting stories run down by' the police are as to the num ber of "pills" smoked by young Croker in the opium Joint F. Wayne, manager of a negro club room, who saw Croker as he left the opium Joint, believes that opium was not wholly responsible for his condi tion, but for want of corrobative evl dence the police-are Inclined to pay lit tie attention to this report. Stories of Negro and Chinese. Charles Wilson, the negro porter at the Coates House, who piloted Croker to the dope Joint, and the two China men, who ra"n the place are in Jail. The stories do not conflict except that Wil son ays Croker was not drunk, while the Chinamen insist that he was. It seems that Croker came to Kan sas City Thursday morning. He checked his umbrella and raincoat at the Coates House late in the afternoon and talked with the bartender about the races. He gave the bartender a "tip" on the races, and from that time until 6 P. M. no one at the house appears to have seen him When he returned, he proposed to the negro that they go somewhere, and he went to the "hop Joint" over the negro club at 123 West Fifth street, and spent an hour smoking opium. The negro says he was not drunk, but had been drink ing when they reached the Joint. The Chinamen insist that the white man was drunk when he came into the place with the negro. Ah Lee, the Chinaman, when ques tioned by Chief Hayes, insisted 'that Crotcer smoked only three pills. The other Chinaman, Ah Gee. told the same story, but with prompting in the Chi nese language, which Hayes finally stopped, us Ah Gee did not understand English. "He smokee like old hop fiend," said An Lee, speaking of Croker, and the. chief told him he did not think lie had kept proper account of the number of pills smoked. Drink After Opium Dangerous.. At all events, Croker went to sleep In the Chinamen's place and Ah Lee woke him up and made him go to the negro porter, who was playing pool In another part of the building. The negro went to Cronln's saloon with Croker and drank bei-r with him and Jerry Sullivan, the day bartender at Cronln's. The "hop fiends" in the North Eud are very careful not to ' drink after smoking, although Chinamen will drink a little tea, but water or beer is sure to affect the heart action. Ah Lee says drunken men sometimes smoke hop to get sober, but none of these seem to regard drinking after such a smoke as safe. The facts brought out at the in vestigation indicate that the conclu sion of Chief Hayes that Croker caused his own death by the liquor and opium to be correct The negro says when they reached the -depot Croker gave him a i-0 bill and he paid the hack driver, who re turned $19 in change. That was the money the negro carried in his hands when he went through the depot with Croker. and counted out to him on the train. Wilson says Croker gave him back a dollar as a tip. Chief Believes Negro. VI believe the negro is telling the truth." said Chief Hayes. "My theory is that Croker was not drugged, but that his death was the result of opium and intoxicants. The negro's story is cor roborated by that of' the officer, James Hlghtower, who found Croker and the negro together in tne negro club and questioned them. The patrolman entered the place to obtain evidence against the crap-shooters. The negro and Croker were leaving the place at the tlmo and were seen In the depot There Is no evi dence that Croker had money besides that displayed In Cronln's saloon and the small change he had in his pocket" Richard Croker. Jr., is expected to ar rive at Ncwtou Sunday night The body will be held until his arrlvaL The two Chinamen and the negro por ter are In Jail, but they are not charged with any offense in connection with Croker's death. The Chinamen will be prosecuted for keeping an opium Joint and Wilson's testimony will be used against them. The Chinamen say Cro ker had smoked opium before. BELIEVE CROKER DRUGGED. Newton Officials Detail Evidenco of Robbery and Poison. NEWTON, Kan.. May 13. The Coro ner's Jury In the case of Herbert V.

The hat that he wore had on it Initials other than his own and bore the trade mark of a Minneapolis, Minn., firm. His own clothing evidently had been stolen and other garments given him. Physi cians say that from the symptoms Croker might have died from opium poisoning, though they are not sure that this was the drug used. They agree, however, with the Coroner, that the man had been drugged and thai this caused his death. WAS ENGAGED TO BE. MARRIED Croker's Fiancee Says Wedding "Was Planned for Oklahoma. NEW YORK.
