BURN WRONG MEN
IN DULUTH AFFAIR
Doctor Dlscredits Girls Statement
That She Was Assaulted by Circus
ta P0Yc<o IoyI%c IL

Duluth, Mimi, July 9.---An investi-
cation conducted into the alleged as
sault committed on Irene Tusken. 49,
year-old white girl, who resides at 1895
West Sixth street, by three men en-
rloyed by the John Robinson circus,
has revealed many discrepancies In the
girl IS statement. Three men were
lvnched in the public square following
the girls outcry that she had been a
victim of their attack.
Girl Not Assaulted.
A report from DR.. David Graham
(white), who examined the girl at the
request of her parents and the police
department, made the following state
lment: 81 am unable to say what oc-
Cured from what the examination dis
closed,' he said. ''I think she suffered
most from nervous shock. The exami-
nation, however, did not indicate that
she had been the victim of an assault. -
The fact has been established that the
white girl was in company with her
sweetheart, William Sullivan, and that
they were embracing each other behind
one of the circus tents at about 10
o 'clock on the night Of the alleged as
sault. Sullivan, whose moral character
will not bear inspection. declared the
girl was seized and that he was forced
TO witness the outrage.
Sweetheart Accused.
He did not, however, report the
affair until the following day, and that
was to his father. He declared that he
took the girl home on the night of the
assault and that they were afraid to tell
her parents, because as Sullivan stated
"they might accuse him. Sullivan has
not been able to explain satisfactorily
IN rho authOriticS and the pirl 3 parentS
why he lured Miss Tusken to such a
lonely spot at such late hour in the
night in order to show her how 6 cir
cuses pack up.' The fact that the girl
made no immediate outcry, and SuiIivan
failed to report the matter to several
white men who were on the ground at
the time, served to further defeat the
theory that the girl had been attacked
The men lynched on the girl s state
ment declared to the mob that they
were innocent s-.

LONDON. April 12.-The Russian
soviet government has threatened TO
put the workshops of the northern
railways under martial law 10 put
an end TO what il calls the crime"
OF the workers in wasting time in
holiday making. according TO a wire
less message from Moscow. The
government asserts that 1000 work

month and that 1.-THE railway men
are arranging 10 have two days Of
idIeness each week at a time when
millions of people are hungering and
when IL is impossible 10 transport

they viii either have TO make up
for the time "Of which the republi,

the mines Will be opened. The won
derful trans-Siberian Railway began in
1891 and completed eleven years later
covering a distance OF 5.4S1 miles and
costing $172525 900 will give a fresh
impetus to agriculture.
Great Railway
This railroad proved of great i'm
portance 10 Russia during the war ~
it was the on.y route by which ammu-
milton and other military supplies
could be obtained from the United
States when the port at Archangel was
closed. In 1915 over $4,000. 600
worth OF goods was sent to Russia by
way OF VlaGivostok and the trans
Siberian railroad.
Even before the war the freight
travel OF goods to and from the United
States was so great that the Consular
office in Moscow had TO be changed
to that OF a Consul General In order
that the business might be properly
handled.
The four great rivers OF the country
are the Obi. Yenisee. Lena and Amur
and with their tributaries they afford
about 10000 miles OF interior naviga-
ton. At present there are over 100
steamers on these waters and they
carry n large amount OF freight from
tho railway and bring the products
from Ike interior TO certain points

where they are loaded on the train for
Moscow.
The climate of Siberia has little to
recommend II for the summers are
short and very hot while the winters
are long and severe but dry, that is.
i never rains but SHOWS and SHOWS
until the great white stiffness of the
lard is so great that few people out
side OF the natives can live there and
keep from going insane.
Omsk And TOmsk
Omsk is the agricultural center of
about 1000 square miles and has a
population OF about 100000. 1t is one
Of the coming cities Of Siberia. II has
long shop lined streets, the Cathedral
Of St. Nicholae. three Libraries. a large
number OF schools. a large theatre
and several cabaret shows which are
more or less questionable in their per-
Torrance.
The railway platforms are always
filed with American agricultural ma
chinery for the Russians. who emil
grated here before the war and have
learned the value OF the American
harvester machine which can be
seen in all parts OF Siberia. In fact.
Omsk Is the Chicago OF Siberia in its
exports, skins. hides. meat and butter.
In one year 1920 sables alone were
sent TO the great fur market in Leipsic.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1920-04-13

One days journey eastward brings
Us to the city Of Tomsk. not on the
Siberian railroad, but on a branch.
This city Is known as the city Of
orgies and education as there is a uni
versity OF no little merit where there
are hundreds of students and dance
halls and cabaret shows which would
be closed in the United States FIVE min
utes after they had opened, but some
thing must be done 70 amuse the peo-
pie. and men whose shows were too
vile for Paris seem 70 have settled
here. The hotels are very like the
hotels OF Russia, about as Uncomfort-
able as they can be made. They have
no running water in the rooms and
very little in the pitchers and after a
few days stay in one the traveller
comes to the conclusion that cleanli-
ness in a Siberian hotel is not next
to Goodness. but next to impossible
Somehow the very curiousness of the
place makes Il interesting and the
traveller is willing to even put up with
the various kinds of cockroaches
which parade about the bed room
walls.
The market on the banks OF the
river at Tomsk is wonderful in its
way-little wooden huts. hundreds Of
them where all sorts OF gilded ware.

ored picture books are offered TO
brighten the cherries homes OF the
Siberian residents. Women squat
about in the snow outside the huts
offering second hand goods for sale
and while they sell little they are often
remembered by the prosperous passer-
by. There is also one part OF the
market devoted 10 the sale OF Siberian
ponies.

for this body OF water is the real

as the eye can see her turbulent wa
ters present a pretty picture. It will
be remembered that some years ago
the carcass Of a mastodon was found
in the ice along the shore OF the lake
and the explorer Is said 10 have actu-
ally tasted the meat Of the historic
animal which seems to prove the
theory OF cold storage being a real
preservation.
Village Life
Naturally Siberia has many villages
where the real life OF the people can
be seen. but to those who have
Travelled in Russia they will seem lit
tie different. The houses are built
OF logs with few windows which are
