.F|END|SH TORTURES
Perpetrated Upon Politi-
cal Prisoners.
AWFUL CRuELTIES INFLICTED
Steel KnOutS Used BY JaiIerS
And Hot Irons Applied TO
Backs of Victims.

Geneva, Jan. ga letter smuggled
out of Riga Citadel has been received
here telling of the tortures to which
political prisoners are subjected
"TheIe were II of US says the let
ter giving the names. How many
there arr now | cannot say. We are
incarcerated in damp easements, en-
tirely dark and subjected TO occasional
inundai;on. For food We receive from
one half to three quarters of a pound
of bread daily.
Examinations of the prisoners take
place at night, and the jailers drag
us before the Court by the hair or
beard. Al; the jailers carry billies
of hard rubber or of braided wire.
The usual mode of procedure is as
follows:
The Judge asks a question, and
before the prisoner has time to answer
the Jailers rain blows upon his arms
and shoulders. We soon were made
to understand that the authorities
meant. TO execute us for all sorts of
charges involving the death penalty
were brought against us, and we were
expected TO admit them, even though
We coulG not possibly have been at
the place where the crime was COM
mitted.
When the knout proved unavailable
In dragging forth desired proofs, 9TH
CT means OF torture were employed.
After the victim had been gagged,
his feet and hands were bound and
his knees driven against his chin.
Another mode of torture was to drag
the bound arms across the knee, caus-
ing the victim to sit in a crouched
position. '
discriminating answere were order
cd, and II they did not come prompt
ly, steel knouts were applied to the
stomach and limbs.

ed TO this treatment during three con-
sccutiye nights, and he has been vomit

FOR FEDERAL
INCORPORATION

Washington, March Gone of the
most notable and representative dele
cations that has appeared in Wash
iI.gton for a long time was that which
vas heard today by the, Interstate
Commerce Committee of the Seate in
reference to the Sherman Antitrust
act. The National Civic Federation
selected the members OF the delega
ton as representative of the mrcan-
tile, agricultural, labor and shipping
interests of the country.
The delegation urged the enactment
Of legislation providing for a non-par-
tisan trust commission, representing
the interests of capital, labor, and the
public, to make thorough inquiry into
the advisability of inauguarting a sys-
tenn of Federal license, or incorpora-
ton, as a condition for the entarnce
of certain classes of corporations
upon interstate commerce. and also
to investigate the relation to the pub
lie interest of the purchase by one
corporation of the franchise or corpo-
rate stock of another.

PRISONER RE-
FORMED METHODS

Washington, March 6.-Augustus
w. Machen, one of the ringleaders
in the post Office graft cases and
whose trials established a record for
hard-fought criminal cases in which
the Federal government has been in
terested, is about to become a free
man again. Mahen was sentenced to
serve two terms of two years each
in the West Virginia penitentiary at
Moundsyille. His coed behavior has
had the effect of reducing the time
to three years and at midnight his
sentence expires. He is expected to
join his family in this city tomor-
row morning.
The officials at the Moundsville
prison say Machen has proved him
self TO be the most capable prisoner
who has ever been incarcerated there
His work has had the effect of plac-
iIg the prison on a business basis
equal to that of any establishment
prison or otherwise-in the country.
So important were the reforms m
stituted at his suggestion, and so val
liable were the changes made, that
the committee of the state legisla-
ture wanted to compliment him in
their report of an investigation made
OF the rrison, but he objected to re-
ceiviug the compliment.

MAILS" LADS PATHETIC YARN,
Father Of One of Boy Tramps Is Found
to Be Much Alive.

The pathetic story told the Watertown
police by a couple of youthful tramps
taken up by them a few days ago and
sentenced by Judge Myers of the
municipal court of that place to the
state reform school was decidedly
shaken later by a letter from the
father of one of the boys, a Mr.. G.
Severson of Wentworth.
The boys agreed in a story thai they
we're orphans and just recently de
serted by an older sister who had
eloped. They claimed their home was
near Aberdeen, and that they had been
tramping only when the last of their
grub had been eaten. Mr.. Severson
writes that the little boy in knee
pants is his son, whose father at least
is evidently much alive at present,
and that the other boy is an orphan
by the name of Pat Lavine.
Young Lavine now confesses that
his guardian, a nan by the name OF
Collins of Dell Rapids, also is alive,
and Pat is willing to declare their
dime novel adventure closed. But they
are entangled in court orders that may
DELAY their return to their homes.
