a farmers dog this morning. The

TAKING A FALL OUT OF
VICTOR F. LAWSON

VICTOR +. LAWSON
VIM. Hale Thompson lit into
Victor F. Lawson, the multi7nill-
ionaire owner of the Daily News
and Record-Herald last night,
when he showed what he said
was a tax receipt for $17.32 the
total taxes paid by Lawson on
his ST, 100000 mansion on Lake
Shore drive.
Thompson said Lawson's mag
nifcent property was valued for
taxation at only ST 900. He show
ed a big photograph Of the Law
son mansion and then one of the
home of a West Side widow, val
ued at 5000 and on which the
widow paid $3,95.
Thompson said that if Lawson
paid taxes on the real value of
his property he would pay SIS
$50 instead of $17.32. He charg-
ed that the men who wear the col
lar of the newspaper trust are
the dishonest men IN public of
fee; and that the trust was trying
to control the taxing machines in
Cook county so the millionaire
publishers could make money. for
itself and make the people foot
the bills. ~

He said Lawson was one of the,
richest men in Chicago and
charged that he was the greatest
hypocrite in the United States.
Thompson said also that at
Washington, the managers of,
The Tribune swore that property
was worth 100000, yet he
said it was paying taxes on a val5
uation Of only 100000, paying
$500 taxes when it should be-
paying $4,000.

If Russia, in administering the
treaty, has given the United States
grounds for denOuncing the treaty,
why does she seek to penalize the

Answer.
Russia, OF, to be more precise, the
Russian government, has not yet ex-
pressed any intention OF applying re-

origin The proposals for reprisals
originated in various quarters. but the
government has not yet indicated in
any manner its attitude thereon. The
future course of the whole affair

Admits That Russia Has
Treated American Jews on
Same Basis as Other Jews.
No Reprisals Considered.

New York, n. Y. Jan. 25.-M. KO-
kovtsoff. Russian premier, has made
a statement 10 Golfers Weekly on the
abrogatiOn of the Russian L nited States
treaty. The Russian premier was sub
mltted a list of questions, to which he
made answer on this very interesting
subject, for the. first time placing the
Russian view before the American peO-
pie. As published in Golfers today, his
questions and answers-fol-
lows:
Question.
Has not Russia afforded the United
States ground for abrogating the treaty
Of 1882 by her violation in excluding
United States citizens. especially Of
Jewish faith2
NO. Russia has not afforded the
United States any ground for a0rogat-
ing the treaty. The treaty Of 1882 was
made exclusively for commercial pur-
poses and a clause in the very first ar
ticle stipulated that American citizens
arriving in Russia, and Russian sub
Jects arriving in the United States.
should be subject 10 the internal laws
and regulations of the respective coun-
tries. The entry Of American citizens Of
Jewish faith into Russia is not abso-
lutely prohibited. With respect to them
Is TO the other American citizens, and
in strict accordance with the stipula lions
of the treaty, our country enfOrceS GER
tain rules. These rules were established
by Russian internal legislation which
permits the entry into Russia Of for
elgn Jews only In definite cases The
rules have been in force ever since the
treaty was concluded. and there never
has been any cause TO doubt the le-
gality, and there could not be any,
because the enforcement, as before
pointed out was stipulated in the
treaty itself.
Question.
Has Russia treated American citizens
Of Jewish descent differently in re-
spect Of their privileges under the
treaty than il has treated other Amer
lean citizens not Hebrews
Answer.
Yes, Russia has treated American
Jews differently from the very be-
ginning. II has treated them exactly
on the same basis as all other foreign
Jews without exception. Nevertheless,
not a single civilized country ever dis
puted the right OF another country TO
define for itself classes Of undesirables
because under the principles OF interna-
tiOnal law this right is the absolutely
incontestable prerogative Of every SOW
ereign power Guided thereby, the
United States established exactly in the
