Use Steppes to Hold Prisoners

Russians Use Steppes to Hold Prisoners
lrtrograd. via London. Jan. .4.-Onc
small squad of Russian soldiers is scrv-
ing as the guard for 1000 O Austrian
and German prisoners, whose prison
walls consist of 1000 miles of frozen
steppes. separating them from the Dor
ders of their OWL countries.
The prisoners are informed at Semi
palatinsk. OF the Irish river, near the
borders Of western Mongolia. The pris-
oners were brought by rail to Omsk,
where they were embarked OH stelm-
boats for the thousand mile trip down
the Irish river to Scmipalatinsk.
Here splendid quarters were found in
the big barracks erected for the mobili-
zation of the Russian army and unoc-
cupicd since It's departure for the
front.
Every morning ut s o'ciack the pris.
cncrs are released from the barracks
and permitted to wander about ut will.
When they depart in the morning they
are told that unless they report at the
barracks by nightfnll they will be
locked out. and ut this time of the year
in that bleak country this would mean
certain death. as there are practically
no places where they could obtain shell
ter. The freedom of the prisoners dur
ing the day is absolute, even to the OK
tent OF accepting employment from
local mining companies.
On" of the handicaps to the develop.
ment of southeastern Siberia is the
lack of roads, and it is likely that the
Russian war department will be asked
to put these prisoners to road making.

AMERICAN HEBREWS
TO CALL CONFERENCE
viii Organize for Purpose Of
Aiding Their Brothers in Eu-
ropean War Zones.

A conference Of representative Ameri-
can Hebrews Is scheduled for this city
about November 1 to consider relief
measures for Hebrews in the war zones
OF Europe. At a meeting of the Ameri-
can Jewish committee in New York yes
terday, at which Louis Marshall pre-
sided, tentative plans were made for
calling the conference. (
It was decided that the conference
shall be composed of not more than 1bo
delegates from Hebrew societies
throughout the country. A special COM
mittee of seven was named to arrange
for the conference and to invite the Sc
lected societies to name delegates not
later than october 1.
In an address on 1.-THE Present Jewish
Situation" the Hebrews of Washington
were urged last night by J. H. Spray
regen. Of New York. to join In an or
ganized effort to bring relief to Hebrews
of the belligerent countries of Europe.
The lecturer, speaking at the Old
Masonic Temple under the auspices of
the Bahavas Zionists, said:
1--WE are the only members OF our
race today enjoying peace. We are en-
loving the peace purchased by the
sacrifices of American pioneers, and we
must repay them for this blessing. 1t
can be done by joining this organiza-
tion in its relief work. 1t is big work,
and we have too few who are helping"

Profiting by an experience of firemen
In. fighting the 100000 fire at the Edi-
son works on December 9, 1914, Thomas
A. Edison has perfected another in
vention. which he took to his home in
Lewellyn Park last night to test.
A few minutes after Charles Edison
began operating the device for the edi-
fication of his father, people living in
the valley east of Llewellyn Park tele-
phoned police headquarters and asked,
What Is that light shooting out OF the
park?" =
A policeman found Mr.. Edison and
his family enjoying the wonders pro-
duced by a new 5000, 600 candiepower
searchlisht, capable OF throwing a, ray
several miles, the most powerful porv-
able searchlight yet invented. II is
very small and the power is supplied
by storage batteries.
In the fire at the Edison plant the
yards were thrown in darkness when
the power was shut off. Mr.. Edison
conceived the idea of portable searcn-
light and two days after the blaze he
designed q working model. Today ne
announced the perfection of his idea.

"OLEO" FRAUDS HAVE
COST. s27,OOO,0OO
More Than 100000 900
Pounds Manufactured and
FrauduIentIy Sold.

The Treasury Department hos lost at
least $s7.ooo,OoO in taxes through oleo-
margarine frauds, according to state
ment Just made public by the secretary.
Figures prepared by the Internal
Revenue Bureau show that since lSuI
more than 200, 900 pounds OF colored
oleomargarine have been manufactured
and frauduiently sold rs uncolored Cleo
margarine or as butter.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Os-
born has recovered and turned in to the
Treasury 1851, ,00O and there Is prospect
of further large collections. Forty-two
violators have been convicted since jan
uary 1, last, twenty-nine of whom have
been sentenced to terms in prison rang
ing from thirty days to three and a
half years.
Fines Imposed Total $14S,00O
Total fines Of $14S,0O0 have been i'm
posed. Ten other violators of the law
are under arrest and indictment, and
many small criminal cases are pending
in the courts.
The law imposes q tax of 10 cents a
pound on colored oleomargarine and one
fourth of a cent a pound on the un-
colored product. The law was designed
to prevent the selling of oleomargarine
ing 1t a butter color. This was done to
protect the farmer.
In perpetrating the frauds, oleomar-
garine manufacturers have paid only q
Il 1a-cent tax, when they should have paid
10 cents on each pound. Butter manu-
facturers who made oleomargarine and
sold 1t as butter paid no tax and cheat
ed the consumer besides.
5000 Cases of Fraud.
In the past two years fully 5000 cases
Of fraud have been developed. it is de-
clared. While there was a total OF
S27. 100000 in taxes due the Governmen,
from such frauds, extending over q
long period Of years, only 4,65O,00t
was within the assessment period
of two years. Suits have beer
entered to recover in cases where
assessment is prevented by the limita-
tion period. In cases where arrests
have been made, plants have been seized
on the assessments.
1t is believed that the campaign made
by Commissioner Osborn has effectually
checked widespread fraud.
