Countess Robbed on

New York, Nov 14.-Police of

jewelry, clothing and other articles

Count and Countess los Condos de

returned to New York after a
honeymoon tour through Canada
and the Western United States.
Many of the stolen goods were we'd

The robbery was discovered when
the trunks, which were the first of
six to arrive at hotel here, where
the couple are stopping, were found
to contain nothing but kindling
wood. If the remaining four trunks
which have not yet been received,
also have been rifled, the total loss
will be considerably greater.
The looting may have occurred
between Scranton, Pa, the last
stopping place of the Count and
Countess, and New York.

GIRLS TELL OF
TERROR OF REDS
Bodies of Victims Being Con-
stantly Found; Many Per-
sons Murdered

Kiev, Nov. 14.-Bodies of victims
executed by the bolsheviki during
their occupancy of this city are con-
stantly being found and the first
estimate of 1000 is evidently much
below the real total.
Three Irish girls. Eva. May and
Eilesen Healy, who lived in Kiev
during the last six months of Boil
sheviSt rule, gave the correspondent
an account of Bolshevik operations.
"The autocracy of the Romanoffs,
with all its evils" they said, was
paradise compared to the BolshevilS
hades we have been living through.
The last few months, when tho
majority of the members of the Kiev
Committee of Public Safety. were al
ways under the influence of drink
or drugs, transcribed all conceivable
awfulness. After every meeting,
huge heaps of empty spirits and wine
bottles and scores of morphine and
cocaine bottles were found.
''The members of the chief of the
the committee sat before cage with
wooden bars reaching to the ceiling.
The prisoners were marched through
the cage to be reviled and sentenced
to death. Afterward they were
stripped naked and carted off to the
slaughter house.
"Aonther committee conducted its
proceedings in the open air in a
beautiful garden. The judges sprawl
ed over n table and pronounced death
sentences wholesale. drinking cham
pagne in the intervals.
"One woman over 60 years old was
arrested and taken out several sue
cessive nights to a firing wall against
which she was placed while shots
were fired around her head. This
was done to extract information as
to the whereabouts of an officers soil
whom she didn't even know. She
was finally executed. A priest was
crucified."
Other British residents said the
Healy girls often, in the name of
their British nationality. openly de-
fled the Bolshevik authorities and
successfully concealed number of
officers and other intended victims.

President Planning
Message to Congress

Washington, Nov. 14.-President
Wilson has began consideration of
his message to the regular session
of Congress which meets December
/.
Whether the message will be die
tated by the President or written by
him as usual depends on his condi-
ton. He is mending rapidly, but
DR.. Grayson does not want him to
undertake too much.
Since coming to the White House
the President has appeared before
Congress personally at the openings
of each regular session and read his
message, but it is improbable that
he will be strong enough to go to
Congress on December /.
Because of the unsettled labor
conditions and the doubtful state of
the peace treaty, the parts of the
Presidents message dealing with
these two subjects will be the last
put on paper. Railroad legislation
is another matter which is now un-
settled and on which it is expected
the President will have something
to say.
