RUSSIAN FUGITIVE
IS CZAR’S ENEMY
ESCAPED FROM SIBERIA AND
IS ON AN EXTENDED
LECTURING TOUR.
SEATTLE, May 27. — When the
term Russian Nihilist Is mentioned,
one thinks instinctively of a massive,
bearded man, who lurks in dark
passageways and attends secret meet
ings in unheard-of basement rooms,
says the Post-Intelligencer in its re
port of an interview with a Russian
fugitive.
Lieut. M. Swartzkopeusky, late of
the czar's own bodyguard, may not
be a Nihilist; but, at least, he would
have no quarrel with a Nihilist. He
is an avowed enemy of the powers
that be in Russia, which powers ad
judged him a political enemy and sent
him the Siberian way that has chilled
the souls of countless of his country
men for many generations. He es
caped.
"Intellectual persons rather wonder
at me,” he confessed yesterday.
•'They think I should rant on the
street corners. As a matter of fact,
they are the very persons I want to
reach.
"The Russian people do not want
tills war,” he added categorically.
“They had no say. There are two J
ways of freeing the country. One is 1
by education and propaganda; the j
other-—revolution."
Tile lieutenant is tall and lithe and j
powerful, with the sort of a face that j
would defy the boatman of the River i
Styx to do his worst.
Tlie trouble between the lieutenant j
and the Russian government was
brought to a head in 1905 on “Bloody
Sunday,” he said, when 13,000 persons
down by the military. He was in'
charge of a body of troops on the
streets of St. Petersburg (Petrograd)
and he was ordered to fire on the
populace.
“Of course. I refused,” he explained.
According to his story he was charg
ed with insubordination and with be
ing an enemy of the government, and
he was “sent over" for life.
"I was two years escaping.” And
how he left the living tomb to which
he had been consigned. Disguised
and stealthily, he made his way back
to Russia. For a time he dwelt among
the peasantry, to whom he confided
his identity. He laso mde the ac
quaintance fo Count Tolstoi, who, lie
affirms, proved a sympathizer and
friend.
Lieutenant Swartzkopensky said
lie enlisted in the Russian army in
18S2, and served under the former
czar. Alexander 111. The lieutenant
knew Alexander and knows Emperor
Nicholas.

EFFORT MADE TO FLOAT
THE ILL-FATED PAVLOF
The steamer Rush, which reached
Seattle Wednesday afternoon from
Herenden bay, Alaska, while in the
North, made an unsuccessful attempt
to float the steamer Pavlof, of the
Pacific American Fisheries which was
wrecked on Tugidak island February
17. The Rush brought two watchmen
wrecked steamer for more than three
months.
Capt. Harry Crosby, owner and mas
ter of tile Rush, said that he believes
the Pavlof is a total loss. Ou the way
from Seattle to Herenden bay the
Rush spent about ten days at the
scene of the wreck and in attempting
to drag the Pavlof off Tugidak island
moved the vessel about fifteen feet.
Capt. Crosby sr.id that the Pavlof
has received a severe pounding and
is badly strained. She is full of wa
ter. her rudder is gone and she is
damaged in other ways.
The Rush delivered materials and
equipment for building a cannery at
Herenden bay for the Bering Sea
Packing Company. Capt. Crosby said
that the plant would be in operation
in about thirty days. There are about
120 men at Herenden bay and a set
tlement which will be called Heren
den City, is benig built.—Post-Intelli

DOCTORS, DENTISTS AND
BARBERS ARE PUZZLED
In the tonsorial trade the barber is
obliged to lean his head directly over
the face of his customer, thus neces
sitating the very obnoxious and dang
erous interchange of breath, which is
disagreeable as well as dangerous to
all the parties concerned. The object
of a recent device by a Richmond,
Va.. inventor is to provide an instant
ly adjustable shield to cover the
mouth and nostrils of barbors, den
tists, surgeons, nurses and others
whose work necessitates their lean- j
ing directly over the face or affect- !
ed part of a customer or patient, !
thus saving both parties from the nec
essity of inhaling the breath of one
another, which is not only exceed
ingly disagreeable, but often the
cause of spreading disease germs.
The shield is made of some suitable
composition and of a shape which en
ables it to fit tightly over the mouth
and nose with the openings at the
side so that the exhalations and in
halations are diverted so that two
persons in close relationship would
not be likely to get each other’s
germs.
The device has attracted much in
terest among barbers of Richmond.
The wearing of such a device would
be quite an innovation and give the
barber the appearance of a warrior
in the trenches protected against
deadly gas bomb fumes.
