INTERESTING TALK BY
v. B. MOORE WAS
GIVEN HERE TUESDAY
TOLD OF LIFE IN PRISONS OF
SIBERIA AND RUSSIS-
SHOWED VIEWS

w. Blanchard Moore, OF Chicago
gave an exceedingly entertaining lee
ture at the Church of Christ Tuesday
night on Siberia, Russia and Count
| Tolstoi.
! He told OF his life in the Russian
! prisons, where he was confined five
different times. He was held in the
IAlexandrofsky Prison for two
months, during which time he saw
almost all Of the inside workings of
the government in regard TO the
| prisoners
| Because OF the extreme care Mr..
Moore took in securing proper cre-
dentials from the American officials he
was considered an official OF some note
| from the United States, and was ac-
corded many privileges not usually
granted TO prisoners.
Mr.. Moore told of the manner of
searching prisoners in Siberia. A
prisoner is stripped of all of his cloth
ing, his teeth are examined to see
whether any poison is concealed in
the cavities under filled teeth. He is
also required to submit to having his
ears stretched to ascertain whether
small particles Of poison are conceal
| ed in them. This is done because
prisoners have been known to hide
enough poison about their bodies to
commit suicide. The government
guards the prisoners from this.
Mr. Moore spent four days as the
guest of Count Tolstoi. The count
took a particular liking to him be-
| cause he conformed TO the count $
idea of living in so many ways. The
count was a very interesting host and
his wife was not second in extending
| hospitality. While there Mr.. Moore
learned many things regarding con-
ditions that he promised not to use
during the life of the count. 1t was
with this understanding that he gain
| ed much of the information.
There is possibly not a country in
the world that treats it's prisoners so
harshly as does Russia in Siberia. The
| prisoners welcome war, for the rea-
son that conditions as soldier are
far better than prison and dungeon
| life. The conditions of immortality
that are prevalent in the prisons and
exile districts OF the country are in
describable. The morals Of the off,
Gals in charge of the prisons are un-
thinkable, says MT Moore.
Mr.. Moore was sent to Siberia by
| the Associated Press to learn condi-
tions regarding exiles and prisoners.
| He remained about eighteen months.
His only way Of gaining admission in
to the prisons was to become guilty
Of some petty crime against the
government. Such trifling thing as
| leaving his passport in another city
caused him to be thrown into Alex
androfsky prison, where he had sought

PLAYERS 0SE
 SUIT AGAINST BOSTON RED SOx

Justice Thomas F. Donnel1y Of the New York Supreme court yesterday dismissed the suit of Kurt Haserman. the St. Louis Cardinal pitcher, against the Boston Red sex for back pay for services which Hagernan claimed he rendered Boston in 1912 President Eultz of the Players Fraternity brought suit in Hasernnanss behalf as a test case.
 Tn dismissing the suit Justice Don nelly held that the contract entered into by the player with Jersey City after he was released from Boston in 1912 terminated the players Boston contract, and that he ceased to have any salary claim against Boston after signing the Jersey City document.
 Dave Fultz has appealed the case. He attempted to show Justice Donne1-. Iy that Hagerman was released to J ersey City under an optional agree. nent, and that according to baseball law he never ceased to be the prop erty of the Boston club notwith- standing the fact that his client signed with Jersey City.
 Hagerman, 1t will be recalled, was sold to Denver in 1912. but refused to go because his salary was cut. During the hearing it developed that Hager- man received s406 month in both Boston and Jersey City, but Denver of fered him only $25o a month
