Says Odessa Is

Mrs. .\nn:> Keiser Who A\ns

Time She Had.
I Constantinople, Z-—Mrs. Anna Kei
| ser. of Philadelphia, who recently ar
I rived here after having been allow
i ed to leavo Odessa as a British sub
I ject, says tliat in leaving that city
she felt as if she were escaping from

"I want to spend the vest of my
time until Bolshevism falls telling
| what terrible people- they are," sho
said. "It is a crime in Soviet Rus
sia to criticize. If any of us com
plained of being hungry we were
taken before brutal and illiterate
officers who are trying to do away
with intelligent people and were
'then thrown into prison to die of
' typhus and hunger.
| "I got along partly because I was
not afraid. After my husband died
I didn't care much what happened
to me. 1 lived by giving lessons in
English. Once, when women with
out working papers, mostly widows
and daughters of well-to-do families
were being gathered together and i
sent to the farms and garrisons to
clean up for the soldiers, the guards
tried to take me. I said. "You et«n
shoot me right now, but go I won't.'
So they let n:e pass.

Shotguns Replace
Rifles in East
Chicago, 111., May.—Substitution
of the shot-gun for the rifle is the
latest development in man-hunting
by the Chicago police. The time-hon
ored rifle-squad has given way to the
pump-gun squad.
The reason for the change was
tuns outlined by Michael Hughes,
chief of detectives:
"in close-range lighting the pump |
gun is much the more efficient i
weapon, for within 90 feet of the ob
jective it has a spread of four feet.
Each shot carries nine rounds of lead
corresponding in size to that in a
3S revolver bullet."
"In street fighting, also, the chan
ces of hitting the innocent bystander
are greatly minimized by the use of
the shot-gun, because the effective I
range is so short."
"The other day we discovered a
new use for the shot-gun. During a
race after bandits In an automobile,
one of our men emptied his gun
thru the rear curtain of the speed
ing machine ahead. The hail of bul
lets stopped that car as no rifle shot
would ever have done."
"The gun we used has the shortest
shock. Every one of the detective
cars carries these guns as regular
equipment."
Another innovation in the detec
tive bureau's equipment is a steel
shield, as high as a man's head, from
behind which the operatives can di
rect, in comparative safety, their fire I
at bandits barricaded in a building.
This portable armor is mounted on |
rollers, and is light enough, so that
one man can operate it. Portholes
through which to fire, and a heavy
glass peep hole are appurtenances.
Combing, which is now a recog
nized part of police tactics in Chica
go. can be carried on with great im
punity from the shelter of this shield j
said Chief Hughes.

COSSII' OK NATIONAL CAPITOL
The Naval Appropriations Bill
now under discussion contains one
outstanding measure of economy—
the professor of international law
at the War College in Newport gets
only $2,000 a year! That is ^ibout
the price of a sixteen-inch shell for
our dreadnaught guns.
One of the last books Col. Har
vey read before starting for Eng
land was James Russell Lowell's
memoirs of his career as American
Minister of Great Britain. Our new
Ambassador was keenly interested in
the discovery that the eternal Irish
question as long ago as Grant's Ad
ministration was keeping American
and BritisTi diplomats awake at
night.
At one time the controversy as
sumed dimensions, owing to the mur
der of some Irish-born American cit
izens in England, that threatened
serious diplomatic complications. "If
I can meet incidents of that kind
with the finesse of Lowell," said Col.
Harvey to the writer, "I shall count
myself fortunate."
j The former foreign intelligence di
vision of the State Department now
is called the press division. It is uu
! der the particular wing of Under
] Secretary Fletcher, who has con
ceived the novel and laudable plan
of "selling" the department to the
American public. Mr. Hughes thinks
the people of the country have a
legitimate rislit to know all about
the activities of our Ministry of For
eign Affairs, and he means the "press
division" shall serve the purpose of
disseminating information on a
hitherto unattempted scale.

Quezon Makes
Public Apology
Manila, P. I., June.—Apology to
Supreme Court Justice Elias Elnley
Johnson was voiced today by Presi-]
dent Manuel Quezon of the Philip- j
pine Senate for criticisms of the jur-;
1st last December on the floor of the j
territorial senato. President Quezon, |
in speeches, criticised Judge John- j
son for what Quezon considered an J
arraignment by Johnson of the ad- j
ministration of former Governor-)
General, Francis Burton Harrison. It!
was a statement the jurist made just j
prior to his departure for the United
States last November.
Quezon had also attacked Judge
Johnson for decisions rendered sev
eral years ago, one of which in
volved an act of former Governor
General Forbes in deporting lawless
Chinese.
lu apology. President Quezon to
day said: ,
"I regret having criticized you for :
giving out the statement; that in so |
critcising you, 1 did in belief that
you meant to attack the administra-j
tion of Governor Harrison by charg- [
ing it with partiality in favoring
the N'acionalista party In disregard j
of material prosperity of the coun--;
try. I gladly withdraw what X said I
about you, and I wish to add that I ;
have nothing personal against you. '
You always have been very kind to i
me. In fact I have every reason to
be friendly with you, as indeed 1
am.
"When 1 criticised you, I did so
because I felt it my duty as a pub
lic officer to express publicly my
disappointment over what I consid-1
ered a wrong attitude on the part of
a high official of the government, but !
after hearing what you had to say,'
I gladly offer you my apology."

Remove Town io
Higher Level
Pocatello, Idaho, Juno 4.—He-!
nioval of the entire town of Anieri- j
can Falls, Idaho, with its population j
of 2,000, two or three miles to a new !
site higher than its present location, j
is to be attempted within a short I
time by engineers working on a hugh j
irrigation project.
Waters of the Snake River, ou j
which American Falls is located, are j
to be dammed, according to present '
plans, and will be used to reclaim |
some 300.000 or more acres of arid
land now given over to the sage I
brush.
Engineers say the project is one of j
the largest ever attempted. The big j
dam itself will have an abutment of j
one mile in length, will bo CO feet j
high and will have a base sufficient |
Iv strong to stand an additional 30 j
feet, should it ever be deemed ne
cessary to add to its height.
The big reservoir to be filled by
the waters backing up from the dam
will cover some 76 square miles j
and will have an impound of 3,000,-j
000 square feet. Its waters will ex-i
tend from American Falls to Black
foot, a distance of about twenty
miles. The reservoir will have a
shore line of nearly 100 miles, and
at its widest pont," it will be four
miles across and. in places, 90 feet
deep.
. Besides moving the town of Amer
ican Falls, it will be necessary to
tear up the Oregon Short Line rail
road aod move it to higher bench
land. A railroad bridge will be raz
ed and a new one constructed farther
up the Snake River. The Idaho Pow
er Company's plant furnishing light
and power to the southeastern sec
tion of the state will be removed.
The dam site has been surveyed
and preliminary work in the form of
drilling for a solid rock foundation
has been started.
