During today's hearing of " the case
before ; Commissioner Foote, Lonslus
Oorous.. former leader of the revolu
tionary or Social Democratic party, in
the Russian , douma. and Adolph Her
man, military leader of the revolution
it Riga, revealed the secrets of the
ast revolution and in vivid language
painted a graphio picture of the scenes
of horror attending the peasant upris
ing of 1906. Upon the beads of both
men the csar baa set a price, - and a
stenographer employed by the Russian
f overnmeat took , down, every , Word ot
heir testimony. - - ,,' .'
Rudovlts is an avowed revolutionist
Hit. counsel charge that the placing of
the murder charge against him is a
subterfuge by the Russian government
to get the man back to Russia to exe
cute him, not because he Is a murderer
but because he is a leader of the revo
lution. -
Counsel for the. car alleged that' Rud

the government's suit to dissolve the

said he. will occupy at least three days

There has been talk within the past
two weeks that John D. Rockefeller,
dissatisfied with the exhibition of Arch
bold as a writer of certificates of de

turned to No. Broadway to take
charge;
No freshman ever coached harder for
a final examination in a neglected sub

man In the world, on the questions that
.John O. Mllburn asked him In direct
examination. - There has - been specula

rovernment really got out Of John D.
Rockefeller. His fenoing when on the
stand was masterful. The' newspapers
did not make too much of it
, Yet the government's case) went
ahead; indeed, made more definite
strides under Rockefeller's testimony

the upper Rio Grande border... M. A.

cinct eoverea a territory auv i",",'"i
and SO miles wide, was way laid and

distant part of the country to serve a
P The shooting took place about 100
n(l frnm a railroad and 40 miles from
Boqulllas. He was found lying by the
side of the trail by a passing Mexican.
Although he had lost much blood, he
was still conscious, neip "
moned and an effort was made to get
him to his home at Boqulllas. The
nearest physician Or aurgeon was at
Alpine, 80 miles away.
A mesenger was hurriedly sent for
him. This messenger made the trip of
90 miles In less than zt rours ny con
stant riding and changing horses twice.
Ernst did not live until the physician
arrived. He expired before he reached
his home at Boqulllas.
A remarkable feature connected with
this tragedy is that the wounded man
declined to tell who shot him. He was
repeatedly asked by the men who were
with him after the shooting to make an
ante-mortem statement.
"I know who shot me. but III attend
to him myself when I reoover from this
wound," was all that Mr. Ernst would
He laughed when told that the wound
might prove fatal.
'Tve been through a good deal In my
lifetime down here on the frontier," he
said, "and I guess I can stand to lose
some- blood."
Loss of Blood ratal.
It was the loss of blood that killed
him, it la said. The wound was not
in a necesearllv vital soot but be had
a sinking spell lust before the Journey
of 40 miles to his home was finished,
and died oh the road.
The peace officers of the county have
made every effort to discover the Ident
ity and apprehend the man who assas
sinated: Mr. irnai tn nis oiiiciki ca
pacity as Just of the peace, Mr. Ernst
tried many Mexicans ror various oi
fenses. Some of those whom he found
frulltv were punished by being- chained
o a tree near Mr. Ernst's residence.
In the absence of a Jail or calaboose
within the borders of the precinct and
the fact that it is 100 miles to the
county jail at Alpine, the cheapest and
most practical method of holding a
prisoner was to chain him to the tree.
Life Is held very cheap by the lower
class of Mexicans of the Big Bend re
gion of Texas, where Boqulllas Is situ
ated. It is a common saying here that many
of these Mexicans could be hired to
ill a man for a dollar. It la supposed
that Mr. Ernst was assassinated by
some Mexican whose hatred he had In
curred In his administration of the law
aa tuatlc of the peace.
The killing of Mr. Ernst was not a
surprise to pioneer American peace of
ficers who have long been familiar with
the character of many or tne men who
make their homes in this remote region.
In fact, he lived much longer than was
expected. He came to the Boqulllas
locality 10 years ago and had been here
but a short time when he was elected
justice of the peace.
At the time of his advent there had
hen a aeries of murders and assassina
tions of American residents of the Big
Bend country. The Mexicans who com
mitted these crimes escaped across
the Kio uranae into ineir own cwuoirj
and were never apprehended.
The Big Bend territory was the ren
dexvous of American and Mexican out
laws for many years. It was the last
place in the southwest to be dominated
by this criminal element and many of
them are still to be found here. Its
mountains and remoteness from the
railroad and other ordinary routes of
travel made It tne niamg piace ior aea
peradoes of all classes.
Mr. Ernst rendered valuable assist
ance in clearing the Big Bend of the
outlaws who formerly infested it. Un
til about 12 years ago It was worth a
man's life to travel through the border
region without an armed escort
It was into the shelter of the Big
Bend that train robbers, cattle thieves,
murderers and desperate criminals of
various kinds fled from other parts of
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona when
too closely pressed by officers of the
law. For many years extensive smug
gling operations were conducted along
the Rio Grande, which forms the south
ern boundary of the Big Bend. The
killing of United States customs In
spectors who were stationed In the Ill
favored territory was of frequent oc
currence. COUNCIL CAN ALLOW

(United Press LeaseK Wlre.t
Hongkong, Nov. 28. Despite the fact
that the "ruling dynasty" Is, on the sur
face at least in "complete control" In

in for trouble with both the extreme lib

Amour the liberals there is less dis
satisfaction wfcth tha new regime's pol

lines of a Chinese government for the
Chinese people as in the direction of
more liberalization. -
Dr. San Yat Sen. one of the move

tionary party s dsns will be pushed
as vigorously against Prince Chun as
during tne administration or the dow

Chun is srtvlns: a wise administration.
Tbe reformers are preparing to strike
and news of widespread uprisings Is
looked for from central China any day.
The reactionaries, consisting of prac

avowed purpose of modernising the
country.
The fact that the late emperor was
a liberal never concerned the reaction

SOLDIER BOY AND FIANCEE
James Poole, a soldier boy stationed
at Vancouver barracks, spent several
anxious hours at the office of the coun
ty clerk yesterday afternoon. He came
for a marriage license, accompanied by
the bride to be. Miss Annie Evans, but
his plans were interfered with by a
telephone message from a man who
represented himself to be the father of
the girl and asked that a license be
denied.
It wss about S o'clock when Poole
snd Miss Evans arrived. Shortly before
that time a man called up Deputy
County Clerk Herman Schneider and
said that he was "Evans." He did not

daughter was likely to ask -for a ma

soldier who would come with her,
dressed in uniform. He said bis daugh

It contains no horn; it is an artistic and harmonizing
piece of furniture, beautifully, constructed of mahogany. -
In appearance it resemble a music cabinet, which in part
it is, for it not only plays as a Victor plays, but in addition
provides storage room for scores of records.
THE VICTROLA, AMONG TALKING MACHINES,
OCCUPIES THE SAME POSITION AS THE STEIN-
WAY AMONG PIANOS.
The Victrola is the Victor complete the Victor ideal
ized the perfected Victor.
It costs more than the ordinary Victor, because it is worth
more, because it is more complete, because the tone is finer
and easier regulated, and less mechanical.
If you! can af ford the very best, the Victrola is the only
instrument to bay. There is no question about it, . , . ,(

Then Poole and the girl began using
