BOMB OUTRAGE
ALEXANDER ]. 5aAlLovskY, rus.
SIAN JOURNALIST OF NEW
YORK, TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
WAS NEAR FINANCIAL CENTER
Writer Of Anonymous Letter Informs
Police That Three Men Seemed
In Jubllant Mood 20 Minutes
After Explosion.

New YorE-Alexande J. Brailo-
vsky, Russian journalist, who was
taken into custody after the police
had received an anonymous letter that
lie was seen IN the financial district a
short time before the Wall Street ex-
plosion last week, was formally plac-
ed under arrest on a charge of being
an undesirable alien.
Brailoysky was seized in small
stationery stora on East Seventh
Street in the rear Of which is print
ing shop where the "Russky Golos"
RUSSIAN Voice) described by the au-
thorities as a radical Russian maya
z-ne is published.
The writer OF the anonymous letter
informed the police that he saw Brazil
ovsky and three other men talking at
the corner OF Pine and Nassau streets,
near the scene of the explosion, about
20 minutes after the defamation took
pl zee. The writer declared the three
men seemed TO be in jubilant mood.
Brailovsly, the police said, admit
ted being at the place mentioned, but
placed his presence there an hour later
than the letter charged. He denied
all knowledge Of the explosion. He
explained his presence in the finan'
cial district by stating that he wished
to dispose OF some jewelry boxes
there.
Brailovsky further admitted, the
police said, that he talked to three
men there. He said he knew only
one of them, but the man whom he
knew was acquainted with the other
two.
AT first he refused absolutely, the
police declared, to divulge the name
of his companions.
my race" he is quoted as saying,
never divulges the name OF another
person without that persons consent,
and so cannot enlighten you"
Brailovsky, who is SO years old, and
small in stature, was we'll dressed, his
voice, manner and expression giving
the impression he was man of edu.
cation. He told the police, they said,
that he was the editor OF "Rusgy
Golos." He explained that in his con-
versation with the three men the cues
ton of soliciting loan for the pur'
pose OF constructing a Russian peo
pies theater was discussed.
Federal investigators declared they
recognized him as the man who pre-
sided a few days ago at concert 10
Madison Square Garden given for the
benefit of the Russian children, held
at Fort Wadsworth, pending their de
parture homeward. Ludwig CA X
Martens, unofficial representative here
o; the soviet republic, was the guest Of
honor at the concert. The Russian

NINE DEAD; TWELVE
HURT IN MINE RIOTS
QUIET HAS SETTLED OVER
FIELDS AS TROOPS PATROL
AREA IN ALABAMA.
MEN WILL GO BACK TO WORK

Jasper, Ala.-A huge mass meeting
OF miners was neld here. Nc disorder
Of any kind marked the assemblage.
Many of the men expressed their in
tention OF going back to work since
the troops have restored order in the
mining sections. Men alleged to be
responsible for the shooting TO death
from ambush of Manager l.. M. Adler
OF the Corona Coal Company are re-
ported in hiding in the mountains in
the vicinity of Coal Valley and Pat
ton, and country authorities feel some
uneasiness on this score.
No arrests have been made, but 1t is
understood that the capture. is to be
shortly. The body Of a negro was
found near the water tank at Patton.
Deputies wounded at the time Adler
was killed, with the exception OF Dep
uty Edgill, are believed to be out OF
danger. Edgill, however, will probably
die.
Nine persons have been killed and a
dozen wounded in the strike district
since disturbances started 10 days ago.
Five companies Of national guards
under command of Brig, Gen. Robert
E. Steiner are posted at points where
disturbances have occurred. Com
pany G is at Townley; Company E at
Cordova, Company X at Corona and
the Warrior Guards, under command
Of Capt. Loller, are at Jasper, and the
headquarters company is at Empire.
The last Of the six companies or
dered out by Gov. Kilby arrived in

CUT HOEE WASTE
Servants Are Responsible for
Greater Part of 1t.
Investigations In New York Prove
That Average Family Throws Away
Pound and Half Of Good Food
Every Day.

People Of average means can hard
ly afford in these days to keep serv-
ants. Households which formerly
kept two or three now get along with
one maid. Many manage with half
servant, sharing her with a neighbor.
Not few housewives have been driv-
en- to the necessity of doing their own
cooking and sending the washing to a
laundry.
This has meant a great deal Of dis
comfort, but there has been an incl
dental gain. Waste is enormously re-
duced.
!. Servants make nearly all the waste
of household. Many housewives, de-
prived of lady help" have been as
tonished to observe shrinkage OF
their food bills, Notwithstanding the
present doubled and trebled prices.
When a domestic establishment EN-
ploys half a dozen servants the waste
Is enormous. Nearly always In
house run on that scale the butler ana
cook "stand in" with the butcher and
grocer, and their rake-off Increases
with the amount of food they throw
away.
Recent investigations by the New
York health department proved that
the average family living in a private
house, with one or more servants,
throws away a pound and quarter OF
perfectly good food every day.
It was found that the average apart
ment house family throws away only
one-fifth as much-largely, doubtless,
because such families reduce domestic
service to a minimum,
In the tenement districts of New
York one garbage can usually suftices
10 hold the food refuse of 20 families.
But in the private house districts" 1t
was found that 1853 families had 10
garbage pals, or more than pail
apiece.
Examination of the 175 pals re-
yealed Is pounds of bread and rolls,
80 pounds of meat, IS pounds of pota-
toes, 16 pounds of cereals and large
quantities of perfectly edible fresh
vegetables.
Always the amount OF food waste
varies directly with the number OF
servants employed AS matter OF
fact, the full garbage pail seems hith-
erto to have been regarded In this
country as a manifestation OF pros
perity. Not until very recently have
peopIe begun to think that possibly
this was foolish Idea.
