LA FOLLETTE ASKED TO DRAFT A NEW BILL Washington, April 30. Immedi ately after the La .Follette speecn democrats began to busy them selves. Eeport is that some of them bave gone so far as to approach the "Wisconsin man with the request that he draft a bill embodying the substance of his views, especially including his provision that an appraisement of rail road properties be made by the com mission, and introduce it as soon as pos sible. Senator La Follette has not indicated whether he will introduce such ft bill. He has given some of Ms senatorial as sociates assurance that if he does not introduce a bill, he will present a ser ies of amendments to the house bill, em bodying the substance of his series of proposals. If such a bill is presented the demo crats will be able to insist before the, country, in the coming congressional campaign, that they voted for the be^t bill, the only real regulating bill, and a bill introduced by a republican and that republican votes beat it. The supporters of La Follette would urge that he was the man who had laid down the lines for the only right solution of the question, and they would make the issue oh that proposition, in demanding his nomination for president in 3908. In short, there is almost no limit to the possibilities of such a sit uation.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press*} St. Petersburg, April 19.The justi fication made by Mile. Spiridonoya, the girl -who murdered LuzhenofEski, the chief of the gendarmarie at Tamboff, to the courtmartial which sentenced her to be hanged, was secured today. It is in every respect a remarkable story, painting a revolting picture of the ter rible tyrannies of the "petty tsars," who exercise almost the power of "life and death in the far away provinces of Russia. "Yea, I murdered XiuzhenofEski, and I desife to explain my deed," said the girl. I am a member of the social revolutionary party. Instead of meet ing the needs of the people the govern ment used guns, bayonets and bullets, but these did not succeed. Then it in vented the manifesto of liberty. But at the same time it also invented al leged popular demonstrations by the or ganization of the 'Black Hundred' out rages. The manifesto was only a piece of strategy. Left Villages Wrecked. ."The horrorB of the reaction were worse than anything which had pre ceded. Over two hundred men were murdered in the guise of executions, the Inteligensia were crammed into, prisons, every association was closed, the press was gagged, the armed, uprisings were suppressed with machine guns and the police spies everywhere informed upon guilty and innocent alike. I shall not even speak of the whole of the province of Tamboff, but shall confine myself to the bloody work of Luzhenoffski. Villages which he vis ited he left looking Tike Burgarian vil lages after Turkish raids. Naked Knelt in Snow. "Besides the shooting, beatings and slow death by torture, other measures of pacification wer e' used, such as the destruction of the peasant's property and grain, the firing of their houses and the violation of their women. "Luzhenoffski's method of proced ure when he arrived in a village was to order the peasants to be assembled and undressed and then he would go to his dinner and leave the poor devils shiv ering on their knees in the snow. I do not charge Luzhenoffski with beinff the man who inspired and organ ised, to the shame of Itussia, tne 'Black Hundreds.' Their organizer was higher up. But in the eyes of the committee or the social revolutionary party at Tamboff he was the incarnation of evil, of tyranny and of violations, a typical representative of the worst side of bureaucracy.'' TIMOR'S DEATH GAPON'S, IT SAYS Revolutionaries Slew Priest for Plot to Betray, Declares/, Russian Paper. St. Petersburg, April 80.The Novoe "Vremya printB a story which tends to confirm the report that Father Gapon has been assassinated by a revolution ist. Father G-apon is represented as having entered into relations with a group of the "fighting organization J' of the terrorists and in order to test his loyalty, one of the leades, an engineer named Eutenberg, under the alias of JVEartini, offered to betray the secrets to the government. Gapon, according to the story, took the bait and offered to convey the con fession. Some haggling about the price followed, Eutenberg demanding $50,000. Finally, however, on his agreeing to ac cept $12,500, Gapon went to Odarki, a small place beyond the Finnish fron tier to meet Eutenberg for a Consum mation of the agreement. He has not been seen since. A Jewess named Holstein, a member of a group with which Gapon's friends knew he was in close consultation, mys teriously disappeared the next day. The plain inference is, the paper says, that the^ revolutionaries, finding Gapon a traitor, executed him and that Gapon's papers, which reached his lawyer, Mar golin, from Berlin a few days ago, were forwarded by the Holstein woman. The Associated Press investigated the report that Father Gapon is living in concealment in an apartment that for merly was the headquarters of his or ganization, but found that the report was due to the presence there of a priest who recently returned from Vlad ivostok.

Kansas City, Mo., April 30.Miss Edith Hughes of Burrton, Kan., who, for twelve years worked under the missionary society of the Presbyterian church, and has been a missionary among the. Mormons in Utah, said last night in an address from the pulpit of the Linnewood Presbyterian church in this city: i "The great 'object for which the Mormon church is striving is political power. A constitutional amendment against polygamy is the only thing feared by the Mormons. They know that thev cannot circumvent the na tional government and that if polygamy is left w) state control, thep preach it and practice xit ultimatelycan with leg islative sanction by the election of 'safe' men to office. "When they can control twelve states, the Mormons .can' defeat a con stitutional amendment-- Their plan is to get enough Mormon voters to move to the states which [they have marked for control, fhe menace of Mormon ism is increased by the fact that the Mormon church is the best organized institution in the world, except the German army.'-* DENIES PHYSICAL RETUI OF CHRIST Rev.

He said, in part: Nine-tenths of the talk of the res* surrection is mere sounding brass or tinkling cymbal there is no more sense in the talk of, most men about the res urrection than there would be in my talking to you about differential cal culus." He said that the story of the resur rection was tradition and not kistory, and must be dealt with accordingly. Soul's Eye Is Used. You must remember that in' study ing the resurrection, we are not deal ing with physical facts in a physical worldw are dealing'with-'the great mysteries of the spirit, seeing Jesus not with the actual eye^but with the soul's eye^ JLs^wagji manifestation to the soul and spirit. No one can deal with the resurrection who has not, psychologically speaking, seen Jesus. No one has the right to. treat of the resurrection who has no knowledge of psychological facts.., I^ter did see Christ'and talked with him. The spir itual world became to him the real world. The soul of Peter projected Jesus." SLAYS HUSBAND WHO ASSAULTED DAUGHTER Cumberland, l^d., April 30.George Fogle of Brooklyn Heights, Md a. little hamlet acrosB the river ITOUI Hendrick, W.
