Question as to the Resnlt Of the Action Of
Captain Perry.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The reported
action of Capt. Perry, the naval officer in
command Of the United States forces on
the isthmus, in declining permit any OF
the Colombian or rebel troops to make use
of the railroad may give rise to an inter-
esting question. The Colombian govern
mcnt feels that it has the decided right to
use this railway to forward government
troops. This right is based on the fact
that the road is on land over which
Colombia has sovereignty, and is operat-
ed under government concession,
Colombia retaining an interest in the
road to the extent of $3.50, 900 per year.
Moreover, the Colombian authorities
say the rebels have not had their belli-
gerent rights recognized by this or any
other government, so that they have no
status as to carrying on warfare.

BIG HAUL IN STAMPS
Daring Cracksmen Touch the
Chicago POstOfiice.
Bored Into a Steel Vault and Stole
$74,61O Worth of Post

Chicago, Oct. 21.-A sensational rob
berry, which netted the perpetrators $74
6lO in stamps, was discovered here this
morning when the wholesale stamp de-
partment of the postoffice was opened
Tor business. A rapid investigation de-
Veloped the fact that the burglars had
crawled under the flooring for about
300 feet, bored hole in the bottom of
the vault, secured the stamps and es-
caped, carrying their booty in wagon.
Ihe work OF forming an entrance to
the vault had evidently been going for

many days 1t is believed, however.
that the intention of the thieves had
been to enter the cashiers vault, in
which there was $35, 1000 in money, and

thus made and concealed the work of
the robbers while it was in progress.
When discovered today the fingermarks
OF one OF the burglars were still discern
ible on the dust of the box, which he
had pushed to one side.
So carefully had the job been planned
that men working in other parts of the
building had not the slightest inkling of
the daring robbery being worked al
most under their noses.
The robbers drove up to the southeast
corner OF the pOstoffice in a wagon, the
tracks OF which could be seen plainly to-
day. The building is temporary
affair, and the men had only to open
little door to admit themselves under
the flooring. To reach the vault it was
necessary to crawl about 800 feet over
odds and ends of boards which Uttered
the way. The route had been carefully
studied, for detective who went under

became lost and was nearly overcome
by the foul odOrs before assistance
reached him.

is the establishment in canyons and on

RUSSIANS ARE STARVING.
Five More Districts Placed In the
Famine List

st. Petersburg, Oct. Correspond
ence OF the Associated Press. Acting
under additional information from the
governor of the province of Samara, the
minister OF the interior has officially
proclaimed famine conditions in FIVE
more districts in this province, namely
Samara district, BogOull Minsk. Navon-
ussensk, NicOlaevesk and StavropOl
This means that the bad harvest has al
ready made itself so keenly felt that
special medical and relief organization
is deemed necessary for these districts.
1t is likely that the list will be added
to from time to time during the winter.
The minister also published today a re-
port of the Siberian districts. Four
thousand rOubles were assigned. The
present Indications are that little in
formation will be published in Russian
papers which is not given out by the
minister of the interior.
The papers have been given to under
stand that incorrect information or
'cOlOred" articles about the famine will
not be tolerated. And the Russian
editors know when they have been
spoken to.
The bad harvests in portions of ST.
IBERIA last year and this year have had
the effect of turning a part of the tide
of Siberian emigration back towards
Russia. According to an official source,
out of 77,745 emigrants and 19, 1921 en-
voys whom the peasant communities
sent to spy out the land in Siberia be-
tween January and September II,
1888 emigrants and 1.619 ENJOYS re-
turned.
In addition to famine, a circumstance
that deters emigration and occasions
the return of many is the exhaustion of
available farm land 1t is fact that is
not understood abroad that portions of
Siberia are already fully occupied. This is
true OF nearly all good and conveniently
accessible agricultural land in Western
Siberia. Recent settlers have been as
signed lands distant from the railways
and navigable rivers, or have forest or
marsh land which would not pay them
to till under present conditions.
With additional railways, with new
markets for Western Siberia, grain in
Eastern Siberia, Mongolian and Man
churian mining regions and with better
modes OF cultivating the ground, there
will be room for more settlers in Western
Siberia, but the plain truth is there is
| little room Tor peasants there now.
There seems to be room for another
class. The government has reserved
some land for nOblemen, and has sold
considerable tracts to titled personages
avowing its determination to strengthen
the noble element in Siberia The peas
ants have transplanted their slipshod
methods OF cultivation from one prov
ince to another in Russia and Siberia, sc
that this virgin country is also reduced
to chronic want and periodical famines
the presence of the large owners is re
garded as good leaven, agriculturally
and politically.

When Foraker referred to Roosevelt

there were demonstrations of approval

greatest demonstration of the day was
when Hanna declared he did not intend
