McClusky of the Educa- tion school in a talk yesterday aft- ernoon on the book which is fre- quently regarded as the best biog- raphy of the great Russian novelist. The fact of Tolstoy's vigor at the time he wrote the work, Professor McClusky cited as a refutation of the theory that it was the influ - ence of " approaching senescence that caused the radical change in views and habits that were evi- denced by this book as compareil with his former works. Held Views From Youth. Professor McClusky further point- ed out that the viewpoint express- ed was not as extreme a change as might be thought from the text of the novelist's former works, but that in reality it was that which he had long suppressed in his de- §ire to follow the mode of his day, and it was this final view, never shown until later life after the in- sincerity and folly of the ways of his fellows had become apparent that was the true expression of Tol- stoy's nature and' thoughts. Quoting excerpts from the book itself and from commentaries on it, Professor McClusky showed that even at the height of Tolstoy's rather wild and impetuous career, that characterized his youth, a wish for some other mode of life than that about him was present all the time, although he repressed it in order to retain his position in the society of the time. Judged Self Harshly. Professor McClusky in the course of the lecture read short passages from "My Confession" and gave a1 short resume of its contents which1 showed that it was indeed a biog- raphy of the most intimate sort in which the writer spared himself less than some other biographer would most likely have done. Professor McClusky concluded by stating that for physical and men- tal vigor in his life Tolstoy was out- standing as was evidenced by the fact that in his desire towards the end of his life to mingle more with the peasant classes about his es- tate, and to enter into their ways 6f living and their games and sports, he not infrequently showed himself their equal and superior in physical activity even at an ad- vanced time of life, and never up to his last days showed any sign of failing mental health. The lecture, which was well at- tended, was sponsored by the Tol- stoy League as one of a series given this year by that group. ST. LOUIS COURT SEEKS FIOME.FOR Andrew W.

The rebellion followed a demon- stration by 750 convicts in the peni- tentiary dining hall yesterday against the kind of food served them. They mutinied for two hours, refusing to leave tne hall, but finally were quieted by Warden Leslie Rudolph, who promised a better menu, and announced later that the trouble was ended. Approximately 150 men on one floor of the chair factory refused to start work after breakfact and several of them demanded less work and better food. Warden Ru- dolph entered the factory and told the men they would either work or go back to their cells. About 60 still refused to work and they were taken to "I" hall and locked up. Warden Rudolph, in a statement after the strike, said he Ihad done as much as he could and if "any trouble is bound to come, the prison organization will meet it accordingly." RAILROAD DEATH TO BE REVIEWED A coroner's inquest in the death of Floyd Finch, Jackson, engineer of the Michigan Central fast pas- senger train number 14, who died Wednesday night in St. Joseph's Mercy hospital, will be held next week, Dr. Edwin C. Ganzhorn, county coroner, announced lastt night. Fink suffered a fracture of the skull when he was struck on the head by a mail crane while his train was traveling at high speed through Chelsea, Wednesday night. It is believed that the train which runs ahead of Fink's train hadt failed to pick off the mail bag at Chelsea station and that he was struck by the still exteded crane when he thrust his head from the cab window. The absence of any marks on the side of the locomotive or tender led railway officials to discount the theory that the train had been side-swiped. .Departments' Policies Announced by Hogarth LANSING, March 27-Surround- ing of each standard game refuge unit with wide zones of state-owned lands available. to the public for hunting and recreation is the pol- ily of the Department of Conser- vation, according to George R. Ho- garth, director. He further states that all possi- ble means will be taken to prevent the purchase of lands by hunting clubs in the immediate vicinity of the state's game refuges, since it would be detrimental to the general 1 public interests.

The snow stopped Wednesday night as suddenly and as unex- pectedly as it started Tuesday morning, leaving Chicago and its suburbs shrouded in the heaviest continuous fall in the city's his- tory-19.2 inches. Although the city was no longer faced with the necessity of fighting more snow, it had by no means coped with what it already had. Traffic still was delayed and in some case paralyzed, schools were still dismissed and streets and side- walks clogged with snow. Along the lake front and in other places where the wind was given a chance at the snow, drifts were piled high and held hundreds of automobiles fast. In the more con- gested districts the snow had turn- ed into a dark slush, ankle deep at most intersections. Street car lines, hardest hit of the transportation systems, were able to serve customers on most of the main routes but were far from normal and were not even attempt- ing to run on many of the branch lines. Twenty thousand men and 250 pieces of machinery worked all night attempting to clear the rails. Fifteen hundred street cars were reported stalled, most of them still manned by their crews who have been forced to keep a continuous watch for two days in order to be able to move on in case the way is cleared. On some of the side streets ti, crews were replaced by watch- men. Other transportation lines were more fortunate, with the elevated and suburban railways not only maintaining their usual service but carrying the added burden of per- sons unable to get to work on street cars or by automobile. Busses, un- able to travel on many streets since the storm started, began to pick up their customers again today.

LOUIS - A million dollars+ without an owner is the subject of+ a court suit in St. Louis. Lost to use, the money is idle. It can't even be given away or other- wise disposed of in its presenta status. All this happened because the west grew up. The money was left by Bryan Mullanphy, a rich, eccentric bach- elor who was mayor of St. Louis during the floodtide of the west- ward-ho movement. Himself the son of a pioneer, I Mulanphy watched travelers trek Westward through St. Louis. Not- ing suffering and privation in their ranks, he bought supplies for them and repaired their schooners. One-third of his fortune, accord- ing to the will he left at his death in 1851, was left to the city of St.' Louis "to constitute a fund to fur- nish relief to poor immigrants and, travelers coming to St. Louis on their way, bona fide, to settle in the west." The bequest then consisted ofI real estate valued then at $500,000. It has been tangled in litigation for 80 years since then.
