Alleging that inhuman tortures had
been inflicted upon him by San Diego
vgilantes who deported him from that
city Tuesday night, Dr. Ben Reitman,
manager OF Miss Emma GOLDMAN, to-
dav detailed the treatment that was
accorded him by the committee Of
citizens" He declared that at times
Ahe torture became so "hendish" that
he begged them to kill him to end
the pain"
Reitman said: "The men who cap
tured me in my hotel looked like busi-
ness men. When | refused to go
with them they put revolvers against
my body, covered my mouth and drag
ged me to an automobile. The police
outside the hotel cleared the way for
them.
while taking me to the place OF
Torture in the desert thirty miles
from San Diego, my captors thrust
lpencils I'm my nostrils and ears,
STUFFED filth into my mouth and
struck me with their fists and with
clubs throughout the whole terrible
"trip. They continually called me

when we reached the desert an
other party was waiting. They had
built a big FIRE and they took me
up TO II, stripped me and began such
hendish. inhuman torture that the de-
tails are unprintable. ] begged them
to kill me and end the pain and they
replied that they wanted me 10 20
away and tell how San Diego treated
my kind.
They said If Miss Goldman was
there they would give her the same
dose.
Then they ordered me to sing The
Star Spangled Banner cannot
sing very well and at every false
note I was struck IN the face. Sew
Ieral times while I was singing they
knocked me down. Then they made
me pray and my own cane was used
as an instrument of torture. Being
strong, / was able TO stand what they
did TO me- even when Il assumed most
fiendish forms"
Just before they put hot tar on
my body, their torture became terri
bile. Each man would come forward
and ask me questions. If the an
swer did not please him I was struck
In the face. Finally I was thrown
on the ground and small American
hag was thrust down my throat until
] almost strangled.
Then they discussed whether they
would put my eyes out. They decid.
ed not to. Just before the tar wal
applied. they held me and burned
the flesh on my hack with their cigars
Then. while lay PROSTATE. they plas
tered tar over me and covered IL with
cactus and desert grass.
After that they stoned me as
tried TO escape them in the desert

obtained a pair Of overalls and a
Jumper which wore into Los An

wish to make a personal appeal through the
columns Of the MIDLAND JOURNAL. For several
years I have been interested in the sale of
the Red Cross Seals and believe that most of
our residents know why they are sold but for
fear some do not fully realize the good work
done in this way, way which all may help,
and yon know lin union there is strength =
The money received for these seals goes to the
sanatariums for tuberculosis patients in the
various states; those sold here go to Maryland
institutions BY using these attractive little
seals. you are assisting those who are afflicted
and helping build up a safeguard for those
who are not.
While have sold nearly fifteen dollars
worth some years. I feel that our people do
not do as much as they could in this particu-
lar line. It does not seem to me that there is
anyone who would refuse to buy from 10 to 25
of these seals, and il everyone in the Sixth

Good Prospects for Panama.

AS an example OF money-making
enterprise the Suez canal is hard to
beat. The company is restrained by
its charter from making more than q
certain percentage Of profit. and one
Of the principal worries Of the man
agement is to dispose Of its surplus
cash. With the best win in the world
only SO much can be spent in main
tenance and improvements and re-
duced rates generally mean an in
creased income.
That is what has happened now. BY
the report read at the annual meeting
held In Paris the other day it was
shown that the company's revenues
during the year which the report COW
cred aggregated $27,762. 900, an in.
crease over the preceding year Of
$SS6,000, and so to meet the emer.
gency thus presented another reduc-
ton OF rates was ordered. In this
instance the advance was the more
notable because political troubles had
