CRIMINALS COME
AS WAR refugees
RUSSIAN OUTLAWS ENTER UNIT
ED STATES UNDER GUIsE-
FEAR NEW "GANG.

Seattle, Sept. 9.-Arrival of a num-
Der of Petrograd's and Moscow's most
desperate criminals in the guise OF
Russian war refugees has resulted in
extra precautions by police and i'm
migration authorities along the en-
tire Pacific Coast.
Led by two Slav wolves of the I'M
der-world, an organization of Rus
sian outlaws has just been wiped
out in the West after two years
reign OF terror resulting in ten deaths
and many wounds.
Banded together to rob banks,
nineteen Russians secured $4,000
within a few months between Brit
ish Columbia and Los Angeles. Cal.
killed two police officers and wound
4 cd four citizens.
In a series OF running battles and
barricade fights with posses. eight of
the bandits were finally killed. sew

the two notorious leaders. escaped.
The last of the arrests and convic-
lions. that of Souhloff Aslemdek, re-
Gently put the finishing chapter to
this reign of imported criminals.
A quarrel in Slav lodging house
here over their spoils led to the cap
ture of half dozen of the most des-
perate members of the gang by Burns
operatives and the police.
Always heavily armed and ready
to shoot at the slightest show of re-
sistance, these Russian brigands held
life more cheaply than any despera-
does who have recently operated in
the West.
II was their practice in holding up
banks to intimidate the cashier and
tellers by shooting glass windows
and counters into slivers, and many
a bank clerk today carries the scars
of such splinters in his face.
Three of the leaders, who directed
the operations OF the gang without
actual participation in the robberies
and shooting. are known to be in the
West still. The authorities fear that
an attempt is being made now to or
ganize another bandit gang by bring
ing In from Russia former outlaw as
sociates of the men already here.
That is the tip from the under
world, and that is why the arrival OF
Russian war refugees is being SO
closely watched.

HITS "SAWDUST TRAIL

Asbury Park, N. j., Sept. Billy
Sunday was thoroughly angered
when, at the close of the morning
sermon, a number of persons in the
audience got up from their seats and
started to leave the building.
"Sit down, you can't go QUIT" he
shouted.
"You are going to stay here until
get what l want"
What he wanted was penitents, for
he gave the invitation and they came
streaming down the aisles.
Among the first to grasp the evan
gelist by the hand was former Gov.

spending the summer in Asbury Park.

GRAPE LEAVES FORM
SUBSTITUTE FOR TEA

Berlin, Sept. 9.-Since the impor-
tation of tea has been cut of by the
British blockade of all kinds of sub
stitutes have been tried, but few Of
them have proved satisfactory. Last
spring experiments were begun with
the young leaves of the grape vine
and the result was surprising. 1t
was found that the tea obtained from
the leaves had an excellent flavor.
In early summer hundreds of tons
of the leaves were cut and dried In
the wine districts of Western and
Southern Germany and they are now
sold everywhere as genuine German
tea"

PROPOSAL TO SHORTEN FIRST
FIVE COMMANDMENTS MADE

New York, Sept. "A proposal
20 revise and shorten the first five
of the ten Commandments will be sub.
mitted to the next General Conven.
ton of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
The proposed changes are recon-
mended by a commission of bishops,
clergy and laymen, which has been
considering the project.
1t is proposed to eliminate por-
lions of the first five commandments,
on the ground that arguments for the
observance of divine law are not es-
sential to the laws themselves. The
revised version of the command
ments, as proposed, is as follows:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods
but me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thy
self any craven image, nor the like
ness of anything that is in the heav-
en- above, the earth beneath or in
the water under the earth. Thou
shalt not bow down unto them nor
worship them.
3. Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord, thy God, in vain.
4. Remember that thou keep holy
the Sabbath day.
5. Honor thy father and thy
mother.

evidence, and as for the Steiner sex,
if was represented by awkward duff

men. Delightful music was furnished
by the Princeton orchestra, and no
strains were wasted. Supper was serv-

were 26,288 big game licenses sold and
6O,385 small game licenses, or total
OF 86,673. The total of small game
licenses sold was less than expected

sold, or total Of 1851. The marked

Onamia School Changes.

Onamia is to have consolidated
school. At special meeting of the
school board at that place last week
action was taken to make the change.
A new school building will be erect
ed, and in all probability it will be
similar to the Foreston school, which
is two-room brick structure with
basement. The building will be so
erected as to make it practical to add
on additional rooms as may be requir-
ed later.
Last year Onamia voted $4,000 bonds
for the erection Of a school building,
and if $1,000 is added to this the dis
trict will receive state aid in the sum
of $4,000. The additional $1,000 will
undoubtedly be provided
Next year three years Of high school
work will be provided, and sewing and
music will be added to the courses of
instruction.

iting the field in opposition to the re-
election of Senator Clapp-a field
which might have been wide open and
numerously filled had Mr.. Kellogg de-
clined to make the race. Doubt of
Mr.. Clapp's political utilization and
dissatisfaction with his senatorial rec
ord have been influential in stirring
up field of ambitious candidates who
saw in the mediocrity Of the offered
material an opening into the Federal
Senate. The chance for anybody to
win at one time babe fair to pro-
mote something like a scramble for an
office which public opinion holds to be
the most dignifed in the gift of the
state, and which should call for ability
of the highest order. Mr.. Kellogg's
candidacy will end that situation. Tom,
Dick and Harry in politics now will
find themselves and the contest will be
one Of principle and on merit.
Undoubtedly there will be other
candidates besides Mr.. Kellogg seek
ing this high political honor. He may
not prove the popular favorite. The
high plane to which he has lifted his
candidacy may not appeal in every
quarter. But the fact that he has
yielded to the request of the state edi-
tors and will make the campaign will
be gratifying to that large element in
Minnesota which is DESTROYS of pro-
viding Senator Nelson with colleague
of equal class, man of unusual at
tainment, of recognized ability, who
will be of service and a credit to the
state. 1t gives to the people the op-
portunity to say whether that is the
kind Of senator they want.
The field, however, is still open and
the political issues are yet to be de-
fined. Mr.. Kellogg's decision insures at
least one high-class candidacy. There
may be more, and probably will be.
It will be we'll for Minnesota if they
all measure to the same high standard
insuring the election of a senator
whom the state will be gratifed to
claim. Paul Dispatch.
