Tokto. - Many refugees are Twin; and raising poultry Or keep ing COWS in trains in Siberia accord ing to Shinro Tanaka, a council Tor in the Japanese Railway Board, who has bOeen travelling in Si- beria on an investigation Of rail- roads. He said:.
 "As one travels westward in Si- beria train refugees are found in greater numbers. They have con velted railway comDartments into quite comfortable homes which are provided with all the necessary household requisites. Although the rolling stock is by no means plenti- full the authorities are not sc heartless as to drive away these noor people from their newly-oc' cuDied abodes and they are allowed 10 live in the trains.
 Every station swarms with dir ty ragged beggars. They invade pasgsener trains and sometimes they follow their intended victims over several stations until theiI solicitations are satisfied"
