RUSSIAN ARTIST
FEARS ASSASSINATION ASKS FOR POLICE PROTECTION.
(By Telegraph.—Press Asioelation.-Copyright.) (Received March 7. 9.55 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Eugene Zakovsky, a Russian artist appearing at a music hall, has applied for police protection. He alleged that he was being shadowed by a member of a Russian secret society, and that he feared assassination or kidnapping. He states that he was engaged in revolutionary propaganda in Russia, but escaped to America, where the secret police shadowed him. Two attempts were made on his life. He fled to Australia, but was recently recognised by a Russian spy, a brother of a detective whom the revolutionaries shot dead, and who was dogging him.
