German Prisoners in
Russia.

FRANKFURT. - Mr.. Charlet, cor
respondent OF the Aftonbladet, who has
been in Russia and has had access TO
copious official material reports the
following details OF the treatment Of
Germans in Russia;
"The brother Of a German whole
sale merchant representing the firm in
ST. Petersburg was sent far into the
| interior OF Russia TO the vicinity OF
the Ural boundary. There are ten pris-
oners with him in the same place, all
of whom have 10 live In this distant
region in small wooden sheds, in which
there are no beds. Most OF them have
lost their money, are entirely without
means and are facing starvation. Pris-
oners who were formerly sent there
are now in the northern part OF the
province There they live, ! 200 kilo-
meters distant from the nearest city
and 400 kilometers from the next rail
way station. They have absolutely no
money, very thin clothing and nothing
that might protect them against the
severe cold There is no heating. Their
food consists OF almost uneatable hard
black bread. and at times they get
some meat scraps. The government
confiscates all letters To them and, as
the calls for help which have been re-
ceiyed from unfortunate men say, seems
to want TO get rid OF them by simply
letting them starve.
"The Germans arrested in one OF the
larger Russian cities on the Baltic were
permitted TO choose one of eight cities
beyond the Volga, if they could 60 there
at their own expense. Those without
means, however. were put into the
central prison, in which, after short
time, from 200 TO 1900 Germans were
crowded together. They were locked
up along with criminals, by whom they
were molested in various ways. One Of
the favorite jokes consisted in throwing
cut up rats into the soup of the Ger
mans! After long while these people
were sent to a northern province. Three
thousand German prisoners OF war were
put into cholera barracks in city on
the Russian border They had TO build
primitive huts in order to avoid the
danger of contagion. The number of
Germans held prisoners in the eastern
provinces and in Siberia amounts to
about 100000. They are all German
citizens, some Of whom were ionly in
Russia accidentally before their arrest.
whereas others have their permanent
residence there.
'In Germany, after those Russians
not subject to military duty were set
free, many thousands of them were
permitted TO return home. The ma
jority of the Germans in Russia, how
ever, were not able to return. Several
thousand German men, women and
children were ssnt to city in the

PENOLETOA DUCK CLUB TO
ENJOY FIRST SHOOT SUNDAY
MEMBERS WILL GO TO HERMIS.
Ton WHERE THEY HAVE
LEASE ON POND

The Pendleton Duck Club. an ex-
elusive organization OF local hunters
that controls the Hermiston duck
pond, will enjoy its first shoot Sun
day and nearly the whole membership
will go down for the sport The
club holds a lease on the pond the
year around, maintains a club house
and hires keeper to feed the ducks
and keep off trespassers. Thus the
members are always assured of good
sport without having to search for a
spot where the birds have not been
molested.
None OF the members went down
for the opening OF the season yester-
day and in consequence of the shoot
ing all about their pond, it became
a refuge for the waterfowl. Pendle-
ton hunters who were near there yes
terday report that the pond was lit
orally black with birds. The shooting
was reported as good yesterday and
many birds were brought back. All,
were, however, native ducks, none Of
the northern ducks having arrived
yet
Among the members of the club
who will enjoy the shoot Sunday are
Wesley Matlock, G. I. La Dow,
Charles Carter, W. c. E. Pruitt John
Vaughan, ]. V. Tallman, Henry Ros-
enberg, Jr., W. w. Hoch and D. d.
Phelps. They will either go down
Saturday night or early sunday MORN
ing. Shooting being prohibited until
sunrise. at o'clock they send their
keeper out on the pond in boat TO
drive all the ducks away and, this
done. they will take their positions in
their blinds and bag the birds as they
come flying back in small groups

WASHINGTON, oct. 2.-Reports
that the British consulate in New
York was enlisting men for the army
were denied today by Sir Cecil Spring
Rice. the British ambassador. He
explained, however, that the consul
was submitting to medical examina-
ton such English subjects as desired
to return to England for service.
The ambassador pointed out that
enlistment, which would be in viola
tion of the neutrality of the United
States, as outlined in President VIII
sons proclamation, could not be car
ried on by any British consul.

DIR. Temple in Hunting Accident.

DR.. I. U. Temple is the first victim
of the fall hunting, though his in
jury was hardly serious enough to en-
title him to be called a victim. Yes
terday while hunting ducks near
Hermiston, he was struck by a shot
in the forehead just above one eye
the little bullet embedding itself be-
meath the skin. 1t was easily extract
ed and the wound, while painful. is
of no great consequence. However
had 1t struck him in the eye 1t might
have caused the loss of sight DR.
Temple was hunting on the opposite
side Of the pond from several hunt
ers and he thinks that a shot from
one of their guns was DETECTED to-
ward him. The doctor also exper-
fenced an accident with his automo-
bile and, altogether, had very un-
fortunate hunt.

Tom Murphy alias Otto HOOKER,
the dime novel yeggman' found
asleep the other morning with MS
armament in view tripped himselt
up the other day at his preliminary
hearing in a way that a baseball fan
would term pulling boneheao'
Among other things he had been ac-
cused of entering the Koeppen drug
store, robbing the still and purloin-
ing a number of articles. The testi.
mony Of Mr.. Koeppen was that $40

Rumor Of Murder Proves False.

A rumor was freely circulated IN
Pendleton and Pilot Rock this morn
ing to the effect that Alonzo Knots,
prominent Pilot Rock rancher, had
shot and killed William Shull, anoth-
er we'll known resident of that town.
An investigation, however, proved
that the rumor was false, Mr. Knots
denving that he and Shull had had
anv trouble. The first report Is SAID
to have come to the bank at Pilot
Rock and was to the effect that the
shooting had occurred at the Knots
sheen ranch % miles from Pilo'
Rock. The rumor caused quite Q
stir locally as both men are well
: known here.

DIR, SMITH CHALLENGES
OPPONENT TO DEBATE
CONTINUED from Page i.)

vers interviews. letters and articles in
the public press You have addressed
queries TO me and requested that
discuss certain campaign issues be-
fore the public.
In my somewhat limited experience
in politics | have observed that It Is
not the usual practice for a campaign
manager to seek TO engage in public
discussion with opposing candidates
the presumption always being that
not the manager but his candidate,
is best qualified to conduct the dis
cussion; that not the manager but the
candidate IL elected, is to be the gov
ernor, and that not the manager but
the candidate is the person from
whom the people wish to hear public
discussions OF pending questions.
Assuming that you are perfectly
sincere In your addresses to me. an
presuming that for obvious reasons
you would prefer to have DR.. Witty
combe appear In person rather than
by proxy / propose in response 10
your wishes that Or. Witnycombe and
l engage before the people on the
same platform in a public discussion
Of pending issues, conducting the pre-
sentatlon OF our views In that seemly
and dignified manner befitting the
high office for which DR.. withycombe
and have been nominated.
II this meets with your approval I
shall be glad to confer with DR..
Withycombe at once for the purpose
of arranging the itinerary and fixing
terms and plans OF the proposed Joint
discussion OF these public questions in
which you desire me to engage. /
think the principal points in western
Oregon ana the chief districts in
Portland should be included, and
though | have just completed a
speaking canvass OF eastern oregon
1 would be willing. as an accommo-
dation to Dir. withycombe, to include
principal points east Of the noun

BUILDING AND RAISING A
TOWN TO MAKE A PICTURE

BY the time THE SELIG POLY
SCOPE Company had arranged to vis-
ualize Rex Beach's noted book, THE
SPOILERS" some features OF the or
iginal environment had been elimi-
mated. and IL was necessary to restore
them to preserve the atmosphere of
the original work. Main street, in the
city of Nome had been wrecked by
tidal wave, and then eliminated by
fire that followed when the ruins
were timber-dry. With the aid of
old photographs, every detail was re-
stored carefully for this reincarnatlon
of the famous placer mining town
on the bleak shores of Bearing Sea.
II may be recalled in the book, that
the miners, to rebuke the lawless in
vaders, who had under the false shad-
ow of legal advice, taken their prop
erty, I'm revenge destroyed the mining
camp OF Midas. This was visualized
in vivid style, as an old mining set
tlement was purchased, and blast
after blast of dynamite blew II off the
map. over three months of working
time was required to make THE
SPOILERS" necessitating the carry
ing OF large company over vast dis
tances to secure the results in authen-
tic location" The book calls for a
number OF scenes taken in driving
rain Producer Colin Campbell had
a good. healthy lot of artists and none
of them shrank from the sometimes
disagreeable duties involved in the
real life that makes THE SPOIL
ERS' big, moving and masterful.
This remarkable picture will be pre-
sented in Pendleton for the first time
at The Alta Theater for an engage
ment of two days, starting Sunday at
2:15 p. m.
