Had Popular Support. commander-in-chief of the Rus- rmies, Grand Duke Nicholas was erstood to have had behind him greater popular support than that ac- corded the Czar, who was his second After the rise of the bolshe- vists, he wgs elected successor to the throne of the late Nicholas by the Su- preme Council of Russian Monarchists, representing several million Russians living in exile. The grand duke escaped numerous attempts made on his life. Soon after | his appointnient as commander of the Tmperial Guards an attempt was made to shoot him during a military review. At another time a bomb was found on a railroad track over which his train was to pass. In 1907, a train in which he was riding was shot at. The next year a number of bombs were found in the vicinity of his palace. In the same year seven terrorists were hanged for an attempt on his life. Two years later, a revolutionary plot against his life barely failed During the Russo-Japancse War, he was president of the council of na- tional defense and later inspector gen- eral of cavalry. After the Russian loss at the Battle of Mukden, the council of war decided to send him to Man- churia to take command. Nicholas, however, declined to take over com- mand, though he consented to go to Manchuria. | Constructs Army. After the Russo-Japanese War, he devoted himself to constructing the | army on a high plane of efficiency. Under his leadership, the Russian army in the World War conquered Galacia, threatened Hungary and di- verted the attention of the Germans from their drive toward Paris to a de- fense of their own lines in the East. German reinforcements were sent from the Western front and the Russian army collapsed in the swamps of Ma- suren. The grand duke was then sent to Tifiis to fight the Turks and his army collapsed. When the revolution of 1917 broke out, he retired as commander-in-chief, abdicated and turned over his property o the state. Since he had rallied royal- ists around him, he was arrested by the bolshevists. He was sent to Crimea, where he became commander of the Cossack forces in Southern Russia. Later, he went to Constantinople and from there to Rome and Paris. cousin. Zionists Invite Aid in Palestine.

Early of Prince Georges County, who was stricken with influenza several days ago, is reported serjously i1l and has been removed to a ‘Washington hospital. Lieut. A. W.

IRULING ON PENSIONS REVERSED BY COURT Commissioners Erroneously Inter- preted Provisions of Act, Justice Robb's Opinion Contends. Declaring that the District Commis- sioners erroneously _interpreted —pro- visions of the act of February 13, 1923, passed to equalize the pensions of re- tired policemen and firemen, the Dis- trict Court of Appeals in an opinion by Justice Charles H. Robb today held that Spencer Roberts and Hugh McDermott, retired policemen, are entitled to draw full pensions of $87.50 per month. The court said the Commissioners were without X:gnl Jjustification in re- fusing to place their names on the pen- sion rolls as full pensioners and affirmed the action of the District Supreme Court, which ordered a writ of manda- mus to compel the placing of the men’s names on the pension rolls. The men had been retired at $50 per month before the passage of the act of 1923 and were then advanced to $63.26 per month. They claimed that the basic salary of the class to which they had belonged had been increased to $2,100 per annum and warranted an increase to $87.50. The Commissioners declined to accede to this request and the petition for mandamus was filed. After viewing the legislation for pen- sions at great length, Justice Robb points out that there had been a great lack of uniformity in the amounts paid pensioners in the same class, due to retirement, and Congress intended by this act of 1923 to correct this condi- tion. In this act it provided that all persons now or hereafter receiving re- lief from the policemen and firemen's fund also shall be entitled to all pen- slon benefits resulting from any increass in pay that has or may hereafter be granted by Congress. TOY PISTOL NETS TWO. Using_a toy pistol which, he said, | Santa Claus brought to his brother, Henry Tyler, colored, today told Judge Gus A. Schuldt how he asked Isabelle Balir, also colored, to change a $1 bill and then pulled the pistol on her. The pistol, brought to court by Policeman C. R. Bremmerman of the second precinct, who maue the arrest, was one of the largest toy pistols ever displayed in court, and led Judge Gus A. Schuldt to remark that it certainly would frighten anyone. _Accordingly, he held Tyler and Edward Smith, also colored, sald to have been an accom- plice, for the action of the grand jury on charges of assault with intent to 147 Accused of Violating Dry Law.
