SEBASTOPOL IS
EVACUATED BY
CRIMEAN REGIME
Government Is Now in Hands
of the Revolutionary
Committee
By Associatoii Press
London, April 21.—clehaatopol has
been evacuated by the Crimean gov
ernment, which is proceeding to Con
stantinople. The government of Se-
is now in the hands of the
revolutionary committee.
This announcement is made in a
Russian wireless dispatch, which
adds that after negotiations with the
allied command, an agreement was
reached for an eight days' armistice,
expiring April 25.
Early in April the allied troops;
were driven back in Crimea when i
tiic Bolshevik! forces captured Pere
ltop. The Isthmus of Perckop had
been fortified by the allies for the
protection of the Russian naval base
at" Sebastopol, but the allies were
greatly outnumtSered, and have been
continuously pressed back.
One report said recently that a
French squadron was on the way to
the Black Sea, presumably with the
object of saving the great naval
base.
Russian wireless advices on April
7 7 reported the Soviet forces ad
vancing; in the direction of Simfero
pol, the capita! of Crimea.
CAPITOL LOGICAL
PLACE FOR COURT
[Continued from First Page.]
7 907, was provided with suites for
the judges, and a chamber of un
usual beauty, but the headquarters
have been at Philadelphia.
1 The Courts of Other States
It is an interesting fact that while
Pennsylvania's highest court has
been gradually getting aWay from
the Stale Capitol as its permanent
seat, the disposition has been all tbe
other way in other States. Washing
ton, it may be said, lias become the
National Capital in an unusual way
as a result of the war. In New York
state, the appellate courts sit en
tirely at Albany. The situation as
regards Philadelphia and Harris
burg, 1 and New York and Albany,
is much the same. Albany has been
the seat of New York's court and
some of the foremost lawyers of
the Empire State, if not of the land,
have achieved fame as practioners
in that city. In other states, in
cluding Ohio, the state capital is
the permanent headquarters of thg
Supreme Court.
Certain commonwealths have got
ten away from the circuit idea, al
though in this State jt will always
prevail, and sittings will lie held in
i he cities spccilied in acts, although
tlie truth is they are often brief.
The Public Service Commission
maintains its headquarters here with
bearings lidld in various cities and
when Governor William C. Sproul's
plan for concentration of the State
Government hero arc worked out,
the State Compensation Board will
have its headquarters here, in fact
n] well as name, and continue its
travels around tlie circut.
The Concentration Idea
Harrisburg is so well recognized
as the otlicial center of the State,
that legislative sittings are provided
by statute and organic law. The
Governor is working out a plan for
concentration of all Executive
brunches. - The permanent locution
here of the Supreme Court, and then
the Superibr Court, the highest
courts of the co-ordinated branch
of the Government, would seem to
follow naturally.
To establish the permanent head
quarters of the Supreme Court here
would require an act of Assembly,
and if the rising sentiment in re
gard to concentrating governmental
activities, amounts to anything it will
probably be reflected in a bill to
designate Harrisburg us the per
manent home of the Supreme bench.
Should this come about it would
mean the eventful erection, as part
of the Sproid plan, for the State
group of buildings, a distinctive
building of classic type of architec
ture in Capital Park extension, dedi
cated to tlie highest tribunal of the
Keystone State.
While neither Governor Sprout
uor Chic? Justice J. Hay iirown lias
made any public expression on the
application of the Governor's idea
of concentrating the State Govern
ment in all its branches, at Harris
burg, /Mid building in such manner
as to louse them fittingly and in ac
cord with the standing of the Com
monwealth, it is believed that they
have the same idea as many Legis
lators who have remarked upon the
propriety and advisability of such
centralization.
On-i of the greatest drawbacks
has 1 <n the lack of hotel accomo
dations, but this has been provided
by the citizens of Harrisburg and
the whole trend of materia! improve
ments here lias been on a scale dis
tinctive among state capitals.
BOY'S PERILOUS TRIP

HARRISBURO g&&&■ TELEGRAPH
EASTER PARADE
COLORFUL WITH
PRETTY BLOOMS
Greatest of Christian Holidays
Celebrated With Special
Services in Churches
The advent of peace and victory
for (he Allied cause was reflected
in many Easter sermons and serv
ices in the city churches yesterday.
Programs of music were larger and
more impressive than in any other
year since the beginning of the war,
and particularly since this country
entered the struggle. Clergymen in
their services extolled the sacrifices
of the soldiers who made victory
possible, and expressed the thanks
I and rejoicing of the people upon the
return of peace for the Easter sea
son.
As the weather man predicted.
Easter dawned clear, crisp and
bright, bringing thousands upon
thousands of people upon the streets.
The River drive, along Front street,
I was thronged with promenaders
I who were enjoying the beautiful
sunshine, while hundreds occupied
the park benches and speeding mo
torists reveled in the magnificent
weather.
Florists were literally swamped
with calls for blooms. Certain shops
of the city were compelled to work
until yesterday morning, through
the entire night, to pack up the
Easter bundles. Live and chocolate
rabbits, eggs of every hue the rain
bow can boast, and candies that
were a supreme achievement of the
confectioners' fanciful art, helped
to bring the Easter spirit into every
home.
Tlio fhurch services Were especi
ally inspiring. Sermons on the resur
rection, comparing that event two
thousand years .ago with the new
resurrection of the world after a
night of war, were preached in many
churches.
In many places of worship the
musical programs were quite preten
tious. Notable among these was the
magnificent program presented at
the Pine Street Presyterian Church
last evening when the quartet choir,
augmented by a chorus, sang Fred
erick Stevenson's beautiful and dig
nified cantnta, "Easter Eve and
Morn." The quartet was made up
of Mrs. Roy <!. Cox, soprano; Mrs.
James G. Sanders, contralto; M. 1).
Hollenhaugh, tenor, and Elmer 11.
Ley, bass. Miss Ruth Hoover sang
contralto in a trio of women's voices
and Frank A. McCarrell was organ
ist and musical director. The en
tire service was filled with inspira
tion for the hundreds who heard it.
In St. Stephen's Episcopal Chifrch
the congregation and Sunday school
united in a cantata presented yes
terday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The
annual service of'music at the Mar
ket Square Presbyterian Church was
also presented yesterday afternoon
at the same hour. Mrs. Wilbur F. i
Harris led .the choir.
In many churches the day's col-'j
lections were turned over to the I
cause of the suffering Armenians |
and reports this morning were to
the effect that in fourteen churches
of the city, the offerings totaled
more than $35,000. "Victory Funds,"
building funds and the benevolent
churches and admission of new
members and baptism were features.
The sacred rites of Holy Com
munion were celebrated in many
hurches and admission of new mem
bers and baptism were features.
Easter Spirit a(:
Holy Communion
An Easter spirit pervaded the large
congregation gathered in the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church of the Holy
Communion. The Lord's Supper was
administered at the morning service
and the pastor, the Rev. John Henry
Miller, also announced that one of
the new members had donated a sfo"
Liberty Bond as an Easter Gift to
ward the new church. Mrs. J. E.
Hamilton, ably presided at the or
gan and the choir sang "As It Be
gan to Dawn" in which solos were
rendered by E. B. Carpenter and J. E.
Hamilton. Eighteen members were
received during the year.
The potted plants presented by
the Mission Bund and the lily pre
sented by Mrs. Bailey were distribu
ted among the sick. The offering at
the praise service amounted $103.80,
and is to be devoted to the church
extension debt.

KOREAN MOVE
FOR FREEDOM
! HASBIGSUPPORT
Secret Societies Back Up
Leaders to Gain Free
dom from Japs
By Associated Press
Poking -April 23.—Several secret
societies whoso numbers aggregate
millions of persons are supporting
the independence movement in Ko
rea, it is understood. Notable
among them are the Progressive
I Party and the Heaven Worshippers
[which together have a membership
[of morp than 2,000,000 persons.
| Others are tho New Korean Society
land the Light Restoring Society,
j Sixty thousand students of nearly all
educational institutions, including
government schools, participated in
the movement. It is stated that the
insurrection was supported also by
Christian and Buddhist bodies.
Tho Buddhists in Korea number
about one million. They have 2,00n
temples and 100,000 priests. The
Japanese have attempted to uso
Buddhism to strengthen their posi
tion in Korea, sending many young
priests to Japan to be educated.
Nevertheless, many Buddhists are
believed to have been closely con
nected with the insurrection.
Christianity has made progress in
Korea for thirty years. Two large
missionary bodies arc working there
Tho American Methodist Mission has
750 churches and 100,000 followers,
while the American Presbyterian
mission has 2,000 churches and
about 200,000 adherents. The Ko
rean Christians are mostly men of
character, and have received higher
education.
The demonstration in favor of in
dependence which began in nearly
all towns and villages throughout
Korea on March 1, were at first or
derly and limited to the delivery or
speeches and distribution of copies
of manifestos. Later the movement
took a distinctly revolutionary char
acter and this resulted in clashes
with the Japanese authorities and in
casualties on both sides.
