STILL SERIOUS
IN THE BALTIC
CAVALRY AND PEASANTS IN
FIERCE FIGHT
Insurgents Attack General Norlof, but
Are Repulsed, and the Leaders
Captured, Court.Martialed
and Shot
By Associated Press.
ST. riSTKIISnUnCJ, Jftn. 6, 1:65 n. m.
—The Associated Press has boon per
mitted to Inspect n report prepared for
the emperor regarding tho situation In
the Baltic! provinces. The report de
clares that though open revolt hns been
crushed In many parts of tho provinces
and though the local authorities who
were deposed by the revolutionists are
resuming tho reins of government, un
der the protection of tho troops, the sit
uation Is still a very serious one.
In the districts of Dorpnt and I'or
nau, In Northwestern Livonia, the
troops are unable to move except In
heavy force.
A body oC cavalry which mndo a
forced night march from Walek sur
prised an insurgent band at Ituou, but
the peasants resisted until tholr ranks
had been torn and shattered, when they
surrendered their arms and their lead
ers. There Is h. strong concentration of
Insurgents in the villages oC Meizekul
find Lemcal, further to the westward,
which must bo broken up. A band of
insurgents attacked General Norlof
and his escort of a squadron of cav
alry near Marlenburg, but the attack
was repulsed and the loaders captured.
The latter were Immediately tried by
drumhead court-martial and shot.
The advices received by tho govern
ment report the capture of an Import
nnt arsenal of the revolutionists at
Temernik, in Southern HtißSia, in which
were found not only rifles, bombs and
explosives, but nlso a small Hold piece.
Another arsenal near Nakliltochev
(•alight fire and an explosion followed,
killing 12 persons nnt | wounding many
others.
Christmas Will Be Gloomy
The Russians love nothing so much
as their holidays, but depressed In
spirit and purse In these revolutionary
days, the celebration of the Kusslnn
Christinas next Sunday will bo a, snd
one. The streets of (he capital have
put on a pitiful semblance of holiday
tide, but none of the heavy buying
characteristics of the prodigal Uussiuna
in former days is In evidence, while in
the industrial sections this workmen,
exhausted by a lung series of strikes,
are without money for Christmas trees.
The green trees and gew-g:iws were
brought into the city by tho country
people, but the trees remain unbougbt
in the streets.
The holidays, however, promise at
least superficially a period of compara
tive quiet, the proletariat organizations
having decided to refrain from activi
ty until they are ended.
The Novor Vreinya is printing a
series of articles in defense of Premier
"Wltto, which are attracting much at
tention and are assumed to be inspired
by the premier himself. The most im
portant statement made is that M.
Wltte has taken a delinlle resolution to
retire as soon as the national assem
bly meets. With the turning over of
the reigns of power to tho people's rep
resentatives he will regard his task as
finished. The whole course of events
since the reform manifesto was issued
is attributed by the papers to the re
fusal of the conservatives to support
the government.
It is explained that many of the re
forms which Count Wltte and his cabi
net have been continually berated for
not realizing 1 were not promulgated be
cause every bit of leeway Riven was
seized on by the "reds" to advance the
cause of anarmed revolution until fin
ally the government, being without the
active support of conservative classes,
was forced in self protection to adopt
repressive measures. The policy It is
now following is solely for the purpose
of making possible tho holding of elec
tions and accelerating the convocation
of the national assembly. The govern
ment is yet uncertain as to what the
results of the eleclons will be. but It
is confident that the parties of law and
order will have a majority.
Witte Has Firm Hold
All tho rumors that Witte's position
is shaky are characterized as pure in
ventions. Tho writer of tho article
Bays:
"Wltte is as firm In the saddle ns
ever. Ills health Is good and ho is pro
ceeding on the conviction that at least
three quarters of the Kusslnn people ap
prove of his struggle against the rovo
lutlon."
The government's victory over Hie
revolutionists has been quite (Incisive,
although open revolt continues In many
places In tho interior. The military is
employed mercilessly and gradually
the movement is being stifled. The?.?
ilres of revolt, however, arc smothevd
but are not extinguished and tho main
fear Is that tho government, enoourtlKe-i
by success, will fall Into the very error
of which the revolutionists were guilty
and attempt to press its advantage tuo
far.
Already there are signs that tho pol
icy of repression may be carried to a
point which Is sure to again arouse
the resentment and discontent of the
classes which shrank from tho violent
program of the "reds." In St. Peters*
burg, for instance, the whole perqui
sitions of tho police have been sur
rounded by a particularly offensive
measure of. the prefect of police, who
practically gives tho dvornlks, or
house porters, a free hand to search
private lodgings for arms and suspi
cious persons for documents, offering
them a premium of 50 cents for this
discovery of every revolver or bomb
und 25 cents for a knife. Such a meas
ure naturally will arouse the cupidity
of the house porters and restore the
Intolerable system of personal espion
age which wus In vogue In the time
of the late Interior Minister Yon
l'lehve. Thirty-five arrests were mado
last night. Among those taken into
custody were four Moscow revolution
ists who came here to consult their
comrades in this city. They were cap
tured on their arrival at the railroad
station after a desperate struggle with
the police.
Tho program for the demonstration
on January 22, the annlvei-Huy of "He;l
Sunday," includes service* for the
"martyrs" at the Narva gate, palace

Miss Margaret Scott, Who Says She
Is Daughter of a Los Angeles
Broker, Tells a Remark.
able Story
Rpoclnl to Tho llrrnld.
SAN DIKfiO, .Inn. r..— To be com
pelled to live In boys*' clothing fnr al
most tWO months and to toss In mi open
boat on a utonny sen with only n
ntraiige flfhermnn ns her companion
for days, Is the price which Margarat
Scott, a 17-ycnr-old Los Angeles girl
who landed In Hun Dlcgo yesterday had
to pay for a pleasure jaunt.
Mlftß Hcott, who says she Is the
daughter of Mr. and airs. J. W. Hcott
of "!»2. r i Pasadena avenuei Tjos Angeles,
left home November 1 in company
with Mr. and Mrs. M. 11. Bncon und
a parly of friends bound for Anacnpu
island for an outinir.
Yesterday an officer found her at
Old Town, near I'olnt Loma, clad In
boys' attire, Ho took her to the Help
ing Hand home. The T.os Angeles di
rectory shows j, AY. ficott, a broker,
with offices in the Hellman building.
Tho story ihe girl tolls of experiences
through which she has gone in the two
months would put Robinson Crusoe and
his man Friday In the list of "has
beeiiH" and make nny girl who has
never tried donning male attire to vow
to refrain forever.
Grows Most Impatient
When taken to the home yesterday
Miss Scott announced that she was n
girl nnd demanded that she at once
be Riven the habiliments of her Hex.
"I won't sny a word until I get a dress
— I cannot wait another minute," she
said.
AVhon she hiirl l>ron provided with
such feminine attire as the home com
manded she heaved a happy sigh of
relief and then Hhe told her story.
"We. started for a pleasure trip," she
said. "1 was with Mr. and Mrs. Bacon
and some other girls. We left In a
launch and when we. started out It ap
peared as if it would be thn most de
lightful trip a girl ever took. Anacapa
island was our destination nnd we had
planned happy hours of scrambling on
the rocks and exploring the caves.
"When we arrived at Anacapa we de
termined to don boys' clothes— Mrs.
Bacon suggested It. and the others
wanted to follow suit, ro I agreed —
On! but its good to get this dress on —
s>ho interrupted, and then there was
another lu'.ppy sigh.
"At first the boys' clothes did not
feel very comfortable," she continued.
"I felt as If I did not know myself
and wanted to hide. Then when I wore
them a little while and scrambled over
tho rocks In them — when I saw how
nice it seemed not to have any skirts
to hold up— then I was glad I had put
them on.
Loses Her Dresses
"We climbed places where I never
could have gone if I had worn a dress.
I really envied tho boys for a little
while and thought I would always like
to wear such clothes.
"It all went well until we determined
to return to civilization. When I came
to put on my clothes again, they
could not be found. I hunted high and
low, but there was no sight of them.
"I had trouble with some of the mem
bers of the party and so made up ray
mind to leave them.
"I landed in Santa Barbara Wearing
the boys' clothes, and when I saw peo
ple I thought I would go crazy. I
thought every one who saw me would
say 'she's not a girl.' I imagined every
one must guess my secret. I had al
most no money and nowhere to go.
In the pocket of my dress there was
eight dollars and I had four dollars in
my boys' clothing.
"I wanted to get away— l did not
much care where. There was a fisher
man whom I talked to and he told nia
he was going on a crawfishing trip to
San Diego. Kd Johnson was his name
and I asked him if he would take me
with him. He thought I was a boy and
ho engaged me to help him.
Glad to Be a Girl Again
"We ran down to Corona do islands
and lay there several days fishing.
While there It began to blow and we
thought every minute we would bo
swamped. It was a terrible experience
and I do not think I could have stood
It much longer. Even the fisher began
to think our lives were in danger. I
had been hardened from roughing It
on Anacapa island, or 1 never woul.l
have been able to stand It. When tho
storm was over my companion do
elded lo put into San Diego.
"The fisherman landed at I<a I'lava
and the minute I caught sight of the
harbor I made up my mind that if J
could oucci get on the shore 1 would
nover go on the ocean again.
"I climbed up tho Point Loma prom
ontory and started to walk to Han
Diego. The people at Point Homestead,;
headquarters of Mrs. Tingley, seemed
to think 1 was sumo terrible thing and
they watched until 1 got away from
their grounds.
"Oh, It is good to get a dress on
again— l cannot tell how good it sems."
Miss Hcott will return to her home in
Los Angeles today.

bten completed, the first step towards
the realization of the great project will
have been completed.
Gradually other edifices dedicated to
religious purposes will be added to the
seminary, and it will become th?
strongest Catholic, ecclesiastical school
in the country. Eventually a cathedral
will join the other buildings and tho
spot will nlso become the official center
of tho religious work of the diocese.
The idea of the cathedral, which ha 3
only been roughly penciled on paper,
outlines a structure which will be one
o" the most imposing edifices of the
century.
Improvements already have been
started on the property. No definite
idea can be Riven of the final amount
lo be expended on the church work,
but It probably will not be less than
$.'..000,000.
,The seminary,, ground for which will
be broken in April, will be under the
supervision of Archbishop Qulgley.
