Petrograd, June 2. Russia's crimin
als, all released from prison in the first
joyous celebration of independence, are
fast making Petrograd unsafe. A wave
of robberies and violent crimes is
sweeping the city.
Minister of Commerce Knovoloff ten
dered his resignation today on account
of differences with the minister of
labor as to financial and economic mea
sures. ,
Today a millionaire merchant,
Gregorioff, was shot down at his man
sion in the very heart of the city by
three men. The trio claimed to be anar
chists and demanded money from the
merchant. . Militiamen and workers re
sponding to Gregorioff 'a cries for help,
killed one bandit and captured a sec
ond. The third committed suicide. The
30,000 rubles $15,000) which they had
forced Gregorioff to give them was re
covered. Crime is the Rule.
When the new democratic government
took hold all criminals were released
from the prisons. They sought out the
cities and towns and have grown bold
er and bolder in thievery and murder.
The unrest in the city has been aug
mented by the strike of 0,000 clerks in
Petrograd's shops. They are demand
ing double wages, retroactive since the
start of the war which would be an
equivalent ot from 10,000 to 20,000
rubles 5,000 to $10,000) per clerk.
Mirny shops already closed today, pro
prietors declaring that they would re
main so. Some owners insisted even
if the clerks' demands were acceded
to, the men would not work. Twenty
five shopkeepers complied with their
employes' demands.
Soldiers Defy Law.
Nu additional details were received
today on yesterday's rioting at Kiev,
where 15,000 absentee soldiers were
said to have organized a formidable
demonstration in protest against Min
ister of War Kcrnesky's rigorous or

servitude. The latest information was

Washington, June 2 Representatives
of hundreds of thousands of farmers
from five states are here today to tell
congress and the president they approve
of the administration's food program
and tho appointment of Herbert Hoover
as food administrator. ' - -
At an all day session with the home
agricultural committee today the fann
ers told why they favor government
food control. . The farmers' represen
tatives urged the government to take
over all terminal storage facilities, all
elevators and all warehouses and thus
destroy food and cotton speculation.
The committee was told of tho actual
cost of raising wheat. They were told
that the farmers have not been receiv
ing high prices for their wheat and
that many times they have raised wheat
at a loss.
The farmers expressed the hope that
if the government takes charge of the
food, situation it will guarantee to them
a certain price just as manufacturers of
munitions are allowed to set prices. If
they are to put in extra crops, they
said, the cost of doing so would be high
labor would have to be paid almost
double wages and the cost of seed and
other necessities has also risen.
Production Cost Increases.
Plows which formerly cost $0, the.
farmers snid, are now costing $12., and
all farm machinery hns risen approxim
ately 120 per cent in the last three
years.
Later the farmers called on Secretary
Houston, President Wilson and Herbert
Hoover,' urging agricultural co-cperation
as a public policy and suggesting estab

FIVE DIVISIONS TO
BE !N EUROPE BY
TIME SNOW FLIES
This h Plan General Army
Man Is DisoissmgWill
Decide It Soon
THIS MEANS AN ARMY OF
.125,000 WILL BE SENT
Force Fill Be Composed of
National Guardsmen Under
Present Plans
Washington, June 2. Five divisions
oi national guardsmen about 125,000
men 'will bo in Europe by tho time
snow flies, if plans under consideration
by the army general staff are adopted.
Action on the plans ia expected either
today or early next wock and the fact
that they are now before tho staff ex
plains the reason behind abandonment
of half of tho proposed contonments for
the now army and national guard.
The staff is understood to look favor.
ably upon the plan, though there is the
practical oitncuity of transporting such
a large number of troops before, say
November. Even a fairly large trans
port ship will accommodate comfortably
scarcely more than 2,000 men.
While the plans have not been fully
worked out, they contemplate in a gen
eral way only scratching the surface
in the matter of training in American
tent camps, leaving tho real hard in
tensive work cither to cantonments in
Great Britain or to training classes in
France.
In case the troops were sent to France
they would be located in French towns
behind the lines, and the nocessity for
supplying a Heavy shortage jjCtenting
could be obviated.
Pershing's Force to Oo.
As the planB now stand the war de
partment would pick the best trained
of its national guardsmen for tho serv
ice. They would supplement the one di
vision of regulars under General Per
shing already arranged for.
If transports can be provided, there
is practically no question as to sending
the men abroad before winter. They
might even be seasoned and trained to
get in on the last of the autumn drive
and certainly would be fit for the
meager winter service and for the big
spring drive.
In making plans Tor this additional
force, the war department is taking in
to consideration that a single division
of the regular army is only a "drop in
the bucket" whereas five divisions sup
plementing that one, could make a real
impression on the western front, both
from a military and psychological stand
point. It is the iden of the army officers to
retain the bulk of the regular army in
tho United States to train the new se
lective service army.
The plans for sending the national
guard abroad, made known definitely
today for the first time came as a sur
prise here, as it had been supposed Am
erica would send no troaps other than
the Pershing division abroad in much
less than a year's time.
Market Was Listless
and Fluctuations Light
i
New York, June 2. The New York
Kvening Sun financial review today
ays:
There were intervals of animation in
today's short session of the stock mar-
ket, but it was on the whole a narrow
affair with but little net chances of
consequence in the general lists. In
dustrial issues were t'irm except the
motor stocks which were distinctly
weak, this weakness presumably being
the result of the motor taxation plans j
of the senate finance committee.
There were but few really strong
features outside trade copper groups
and those companies with interests in
Mexico. American Smelting and Refin
ing crossed 112, and Mexican Petrole
um sold above 101. Coppers advanced
a )ioint or more. The steel shares did
but little in comparison with recent
performances, although United States
Steel was active.
Most of the trading had a profession
al tinge and represented mainly furth
er adjustment of accounts for the week
end and the Tuesday recess and was
on a materially smaller scale than yes
terday. Bonds were quiet and irregular.
MAT STOP GAMBLING
Washington, June 2. Grain
exchanges and kindred organize-
tions dealing in futures and
foodstuffs may be suspended by
proclamation of President Wil-
son during the war, under the
provisions of an amendment
added to the administration
food prohibition bill by the sen-
ate today.

DOES DEADLY WORK
At Least Twenty Dead, Many
Injured and Property
Loss a
Kansas City, Mo., June 2. At least
twenty; person are known to have
been killed and scores injured in a
tornado which, swept eastern Kansas,
western Missouri and parts of Oklaho
ma and Arkansas last night. ' At Col
gate and Drake, Okla., fifteen deaths
are reported. At Olatho, Kansas, three
are dead, while more than thirty were
seriously injured at Coffeyville and
South of Coffeyville, Kansas, near the
storm centor.
Coffeyville, where more than 200
residences were destroyed, was placed
under martial law immediately, a local
company of national guardsmen and
150 civilians taking over the situation.
There is no wire communication with
the city.
Nine wcro injured at Seminole,
Okla., some perhaps fatally. At Drake,
five members of the family of W. A.
Williams were killed, while a sixth, a
blind boy, escaped unharmed.
Mansfield, Arkansas, is believed to
bo entirely wiped out. Tho message
came to Little Rock from a telegraph
station at Blue Mountain. All wire
service is out.
The tornado was accompanied by a
heavy downpour of rain and hail in
some sections. Violent electrical storms
followed. Damago estimated at a mil
lion dollars was caused by lightning
striking oil tanks in the Henldton,
Okla., field. All of eastern Kansas,
which had tho best crop prospect of
any section of the state, suffered
severely. The damage probably will
run close to a million dollars.
Two deaths are reported at McCHine
and one at Montana, Kansas. Another
is dead at Bartlcsville, Okla.
The tornado missed Kansas City by
a few miles, but more than an inch
of rain fell within an hour. The Mis
souri ri'-er rose rapidly to within one
foot of flood stage.
Is the Usual Thing.
Chicago, June 2. The series of
tornadoes which have swept nine states
in the post ten days, killing nearly
400 persons, injuring over 1,500 others
and causing millions or dollars in
property loss were just a recurrence
of what happens every spring, Henry
J. Cox of the United State weather
bureau here said today.
The difference has been that the
recent storms have occurred in more
densely populated districts.
Tho Omaha tornado of 1913 was in
March; the St. Louis tornado in 18!Mi
in May and the Louisville tornado of
1890 in March.
The storms of last night in Oklaho
ma, Kansas and Arkansas brought the
storm toll to 3. dead and 1563 in
jured. The casualties are distributed
as follows:
Illinois 92 dead; 6."0 injured.
Missouri 76 dead; Ki2 injured.
Kentucky 70 dead; 20 injured.
Alabama 46 dead; 100 injured.
Tennessee 34 dead; 53 injured.

Arkansas 20 dead; 52 injured.
Oklahoma 10 dead; 9 injured.
Indiana 12 dead; 220 injured.
