THE DEATH PENALTY
PROTESTS IN RUSSIA.
NUMEROUS ARRESTS MADE. (Received Last Night, 10.15 o'clock.) ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 28. Thirteen members of the Central Trades Union Committee have been arrested for attempting to organise a demonstration against capital punishment. Cossacks at Moscow dispersed a students' demonstration against the death penalty. One hundred and eighty-one persons have been arrested, including sixty girls. The demonstrations were probably the result of the publication of Tolstoi's last work, which strongly opposed capital punishment.
