PETRO’GRAD. Dec. 26,—Countess
Paniu, who was minister of Public
Instruction in the Keremrky Cabinet
was on trial today charged with mis—
appropriation of public funds. Here
was the first case tried by “the pop-
ular revolutionary tribunal." The
Countess was convicted and sentenc-
ed tor‘imprlsonlneat until the return
ofhlie money, and 'to public cen-
sure."
The small courtroom in the palace
of Grand Duke Nicholas was filled
with friends and sympathizers of the
countess. The judge. five working-
men and two soldiers. were all elect-
ed members of the Petrograd Work-
men's and Soldiers' Deputies.
The president of life Bolsheviki
court read the indictment. “Who
wishes to speak to the prosecution?"
He asked.
' No one yelled, The fires'fleut
then invited a statement for the de-
fence. An elderly man. a former elu-
ploye at the Ministry of Public in-
struction, arose and spoke of the
great philanthropic. and educational
activity‘of Countess Panin. He de-
nied the misuse of funds and said
that the countess had refused to ack—
nowledge the right of the present gov-
ernment to demand the money. He
declared that she would return the
funds to the Constituent Assembly,
which was the sole authority over
her. ' ‘
Next a young wo'rklnzman, speak-
ing for the prosecution, made a
clumsy and heated speech to the ef-
fect that nobility of characttr and
educational activity need not cloud
the fact that the countess took pub
lic funds and opposed he atlhority of
.the workmen's and soldiers’ govern-

WOOD CHOPPING BEE
Town of Old Lyme Will Meet Fual
Situation.
The town of Old Lyme has set an
example to the rest of the state by
setting aside next Thursday as the
first community wood chopping day in
Connecticut. Instead of complaining
about the lack of coal because of war
conditions the citizens of this carn-
munlty have decided to hustlojor
themselves, and a special committee
has invited all the nblcbodlcd men of
tin town to adjourn on the day set to
a well stocked wood lot and chop as
much wood as they can. The wood
will be sold to Old Lyme residents
wiio’need it at cost.
