deserve The very thought that we
are alive should make us glad. Think
what we'd miss If we We're dead"
Another miscarriage of Justice"
Such is the verdict of the Des Moines
Register and Leader in the case of
Edward o. Soule, the Iowa Falls bank
er, convicted of embezaling $4,000 and
sentenced by judge Evans to eighteen
months confinement. The Register
and Leader says there is a man at
Anamosa who is serving six years for
stealing chickens, and properly so,
but, 1t adds, when man who steals
$4,000 walks in one aisle of the peni-
tertiary for year and half, and
another man who steals chicken
walks In second aisle for six years,
is 1t any wonder that the masses of
the people begin to believe that justice
is indeed blind to the rich, and that
the only mistake a criminal makes is
IN not committing big enough
crime?"
The Cedar Falls records remarks
that the Judge who sentenced EN-
bezzler Soule is certainly a "hummer"

RUSSIANS FLEE TO UNITED

Eighteen Hundred Refugees Ar

Many Adventures in
Crossing Frontier.
GUARDS HAD TO BE BURIED

New York, March l4.-0f the2, o65
steerage passengers brought here by
the steamship Graf Waldersee and
landed at Ellis Island to-day, 1890
are Russian refugees, who fled to es-
cape being pressed into the army.
According to some of those who
came over, every possible ruse is be-
ing resorted to in order to get across
the frontier and escape to this coun-
try.
Some have managed to escape the
outposts, but the majority OF those
who have succeeded in getting out oil
the country accomplished their ends
by means of bribery.
Most OF the refugees crossed the
frontier into Prussia and made their
way to Hamburg, where they took
9 nip.
1t was noticeable that, OF theimmi,
grants, the men, with "A few exeep-
tons, are OF an entirely different class
from the usual Russian Jew immi
grants which have come here. They
are husky young fellows, most Of
them, apparently from the rural die
tricts, and looking like farmers orla'
borers. Only few of the entire slip.
load were held up on Ellis Island for
special inquiry.
The stories told by some OF these
refugees OF their escape resemble the
tales of the underground railroad
methods Of slavery days, by which
runaway blacks were aided to make
tn ir way north.
Alexis kaplan, young driver,
from the village of Wilma, who was
waiting in the rairoad.room at Ellis
Island to-day for time to take a
western train, told the story of his
escape with five Others from his vii
lage.
On Monday morning, some three
weeks ago, the news went around
that the ear had ordered all whu
we're liable to military service to re-
port to the proper authorities in their
districts to be listed for the draft.
