' fPubliiheri' Press htuuA Wire.) St. Petersburg, March 19. Tha change I which has taken place In Russia of re cent years Is more clearly demonstrated by the freedom of the czar than by any other one thing. For year It has been the custom to picture his Imperial ma jesty , as practically a prisoner In tomb hardly daring to eat until the food had been first analysed for poison, and I not daring to go out from the palace unless guarded as carefully as a carload of gold might have been guarded. - But these days the czar la almost as free In his movements as President Taft or King Edward of England, who are perhaps the freest of all earth a rulers. Nearly every day now his subjects see him -driving without escort in the streets of St. Petersburg, and none of the, usual precautions are taken for his safety. A few days ago several people saw his majesty, in the uniform of a colonel of the Imperial guard, walking on the Neva quay, gaily conversing with an officer of his household. The czar later went shopping, and bought, without being recognized, gloves and sweets. He Is In the best of spirits and seems really delighted with his re covered freedom. But the police are In despair, and it Is even reported that the chief of the secret service asked his majesty on his knees not to expose his life in this manner, but the czar an swered that he had confidence In hls- pcople and that the Almighty would protect him from attempts of anarchists and fanatics. He said he was convinced that the revolutionary Socialists did not wish to murder him. An Barly Love Affair. The well known Russian author. M. Sydakoff, has Just published the first volume of a series of books dealing with Russian contemporary history, and this first Installment throws an Inter esting Bide light on the early life of the present czar. The author deals at some length with an early love affair which is said to have caused great pain and suffering to all parties by reason of its unfortunate nature. The lady concerned was a girl of Jewish descent named IlHjsfsa Kagan, the daughter of a govern ment contracter. At the age of 17 she was celebrated as a beauty, and courted . .dsi?

Asent White Slavery. There are few women who have so thorough a knowledge of sociological conditions as they affect her sex as Mrs. John Goodnow, widow of the late John Ooodnow of Minnesota, who was United States consul general at Shanghai. Mrs. Ooodnow has been a close student of these conditions and has recently pub lished a book of short stories dealing with the life of white slave girls In New York. Mrs. Goodnow said recently: "If you think you can catch the white slave master and give him his punish ment, you are leaving something out of the reckoning. He has the best protec tion In the world a protection the cleverest lawyers can't destroy that of hip own victims. The white slave would tear her tongue from her throat before sho'd bear witness against her master, and her master knows it. "Don't tell me that there are no white slaves. For over a year I have been watching the lives of street girls, and I know what I know. Ten years in Shanghai and Nankin were enough to open my eyes to the bondage of the daughters of the Kar East "I return to New York and find, to my amazement, a system of servitude Just as bad, though thoroughly occi dental. The American girl on the street Is no white slave, except In very rare Instances, and If she has a master It Is her own affair. The white slave Is the girl who leads her life involuntarily, who surrenders her profits to a master whom she hates and fears, but cannot Kt away from, and yet who has such an eluding the Grand lukn Paul, uncle of. the present Czar Nicholas. The grand duke on one occasion took his nephew to one of the lady's receptions, and no sooner did the lad see her than he fell violontly In love with her. The girl evidently reciprocated the sentiment, and the same evep,tng the young man succeeded in meeting tne beautiful Jew ess In the conservatory of her father's house, where he frankly declared his passion and swore that he would never marry anyone else. End of It All. At about this time the Empress Marie Feodorovna was attempting to secure a suitable bride for the future czar, and her choice fell upon the Princess Alice of Hesse, but when the matter was broached to the young nian he refused to hear of any such match, declaring that his troth was already plighted. A stormy Interview followed between the czar and his son, as a result of which, alarmed at the' turn events had taken, the lad agreed to respect his father's wishes, his last remonstrance being silenced by the threat that If the affair were not imme diately dropped the contractor and his daughter would be sent to Siberia in exile. When news of what had hap- lliHun m ucBperwa nojnpi 10 corrwrui i suicide. Hearing of this, the young man hurried to her house, and a heartrending . scene ensued, the girl again attempting to take her life. A violent scene fol lowed between the czar and his son, and It was eventually decided that the young man should travel for a year, on the condition that during his absence no steps should be taken In the matter of his love affair. Scarcely had he left Ignorant drad of the law. and Is so Russia, however, when a compact was overcome with xntaiism. tnat she win entered into by which the contractor not struggle to regain her liberty. 'The foreign girl fulfills the deflnl tion. In many cases she doesn't know English, and she always shrinks from going to the police or to Institutions that would help her. I have seen such girls In the day courts and In the night court; I have had them tinder my charge on parole, hut I have never known single one to give Information that would let the law get hold of her mas ter. You can search the world over, but you'll never find a more difficult class to handle. "That's why I am fundamentally pess Imistic about the possibility of stamp Jng out the white slave trade. Human nature is a strange thing, and It's at Its strangest In the outcasts of society. You can legislate the top of your head off, and that's all the good It will do you with these foreign girls. "Just the same, the present investiga tions and agitation will probably em phasize the one way of getting at the situation there seems to be. I mean It may cause the Increase of punishment eoming to the professional slaver who gets caught. A. ten year sentence to each detected slaver would be an ef fective and salutary measure. "As I heard some one say, the law makes it possible for a man to steal your watch and get two years, to steal yourdaughter and get six months." An Ignoble Redman. The last of the Narragansetts has been arrested In New York as a "Fagln." He Is Frank B. WIx, son of Chief Thun der Cloud of the Narraganset Indian tribe and Wash-Ha, daughter of a Mo hawk chieftain. He told Magistrate Breen, before whom he was arraigned charged with teaching boys to steal, that he had lived In New York 23 years and on a visit to Narragansett bay 4 years ago had found none of his tribe ailve. He claimed to have worked In a paint shop until it failed and said he had not seen a dollar In two weeks. The magistrate who held him for examina tion on Monday said the government ought to provide work for the Indian, and secured him a lawyer. Wlx Is 64 years old and has a German wife.

His marriage with the Princess Alice was celebrated some little time afterwards. The author vouches for the details of the affair, In many instances quoting his authorities at length. of Lewis G. Tewsbury, skyrocket finan cier and promoter, has arrived In this city from San Francisco to settle up her husband's estate. She Is accompanied by their 6 year old son.

Edmondson of San Jose, CaL, while In flVe 'city this week. Continuing he said: "The growth of San Francisco In the last two or three years is simply marvelous. "Market street, the principal street of Frisco, I regard the most attractive business street In the United States. It surpasses Broadway, in my opinion, be- i cause it has no shacks.
