sode, The story that he supported
lCoI Hale against the nominee
lof the democrats of this district,
ENaS first told about a month ago
EiD letter from one of the old
Friends of the Lozier family to
the Paris Mercury. The father
OF Mr.. Lozier's campaign mana
ger, Mr.. Conklin, the author of
the letter, adheres to his asser-
tion and the son, Newlan Conk-
I'm, says it is not true. Ralph
Lozier states everywhere that he
did not vote for Col. Hale, but
no where that we have heard
hin speak has he ever denied
that he supported Hale, the reas-
on given by him for not voting
being that he was not old
enough to vote, and in proof
of that claim, he carries
with him all his life insur-
ance policies and a copy of the
record in an old family bible
which has been destroyed, the
date of his admission to the bar
and a AZ minute address, all the
data being prepared by Lozier
himself. The speech is divided,
first about ten minutes being de-
voted to the war and other ex-
traneous subjects, 40 minutes to
his spotless life As minutes to
establishing his democracy and
30 minutes to repeating that
hi opponent has held Office for
thirty years and it is Loziers
time to get in and hang on as
long as he can. The matter of
the twelve years which Rucker
is charged with for being prose-
cutting attorney and circuit Judge
together with the next two years
in congress, goes to make up the
thirty year record to which Loz-
ier has objected to for the first
time. Just why Mr.. Lozier feels
privileged to reflect on the dem
ocratic voters of this county for
electing Judge Rucker to a coun-
ty office any number of times the
party wished him to serve, or
why he centuries the democracy
of the congressional district for
naming the judge so often to
represent it when he himself has
been a party to the awful thing
as ne pretends to regard it now,
is apparent.
No where or at any time has
Ralph Lozier said a word in com.
mendation of President Wilson,
intimated that he a supporter Of
the administration or in the faint
est way given the people he has
addressed to understand what he
would have done that judge
Rucker has not done or not have
done what Judge Rucker has
done. If Lozier should win, he
would 60 to congress without a
single pledge concerning what
he stands for. He would be al
liberty to support or oppose any
measure which President Wilson
or the democrats in congress put
forth. He has uttered not a sin.
gle word in his speech which
commits him to anything. Why
does he not say and let the peo-
pie he expects to vote for him,

something up his sleeve which
would kill his chances every

people? 1t is the first time in

Horrors of Siberian Detention

Honeymooners

Completing a honeymoon which be
gan in Honolulu and which lasted sew
eral months, Mr.. and Mrs. +. w. Wake
| field, the latter having been the di
vorced wife of Jack Spreckels, have
returned to San Francisco, where they
will make their home. Incidentally
the Wakefields brought back with
them stories of the horrors of the ST
berian detention camps, one of which
is given herewith.
The Wakefields we're married in Ho
nolulu early last fall, both having jour
neyed here expressly for the cere
mony. Mrs. Spreckels' arrival here
was followed. by lively little affair
wherein she was forced to part with
tiny lap dog after she had Struggled
the animal into the city and been
chased to the Seaside hotel by a wharf
officer.
The San Francisco Bulletin of Jan
ton Of the detention camps In Siberia
as follows:
Privations Terrible.
Bringing a story of almost unbe-
lieyable suffering and privation among
the German and Austrian prisoners of
Russia in Siberia, F. w. Wakefield,
multimillionaire clubman and engineer
of this city, whose wedding to the di-
yorced wife of Jack Spreckels in Ho-
nolulu took place on the day Spreck-
els interlocutory decree was made
final, arrived in port on the 7. K. K.
liner Shinyo Maru with Mrs. Wake
field.
Although Wakefield was sent on a
special engineering mission for the
Russian government itself, and was
therefore able to see far more of &C
tual conditions in the Siberian camps
than could tourist without the high
est Russian credentials, he expressed
himself as Mortified at the plight of
the Tentons. u s--sz....

There are approximately 100000

the death rate in the camps is enor-
nous. ...-. f.. r--.-.....
"In many of the camps Wakefield
found the prisoners without any blan-
kets whatever, sleeping on the frozen
ground with the thermometer in some
cases at 40 degrees. below zero. Their
sole food was d Russian dish COM

supply was painfully inadequate, and
sanitary conditions Wakefield found
to be shocking. II. .-.:s~ ~. +.
AS result Of the hardships under

died from hunger and thirst. An ex-
ample of the awful death rate in these
camps is cited at Tchita. which is To-

Roy Du Fails, German aviator,
who was a prisoner of the Slavs, ar.
rived on the steamer Shinyo Maru
Du Fails was able to escape from the
prison camp with the aid of Wakefield,
who was touring through there.
"Du Fails himself denies that he was
ever in the German aviation corps, or
that he was prisoner in Siberia. Any
questions put to him concerning his
career are passed off with laugh.
The only thing he will say is that he

Wakefield Helped Captive. ~
Wakefield, however, was a little
more laxative, and said that Du Fails
had been smuggled out of one of the
detention camps by himself and an
other man. He said that the young
German aviator had been a student at
the Heidelberg University in Germany
at the outbreak of the war, and i'm.
mediately left his studies; to enlist in
the aviation corps. He performed
many wonderful flights and did yalu,
able scout work for the German army,
and several times narrowly escaped
death from the French aviation guns.

The young aviator was finally
brought down by a Russian gun when
the Germans made their first advance
on Warsaw He was captured by the
Russians, his aeroplane destroyed, and
he was taken to the detention camp
at Tchita. Here he was found by
Wakefield, who took an interest in the
young man and devised means for his
escape. III: .
AS to where Du Fais will now go is
matter of conjecture, as he and
Wakefield refused to comment upon
his future movements"
