200 Drowned by Reds
Under Ice in Siberia
Refugees Report Also That Jap
anese Garrison Was Gre
mated i'm Barracks

WASHINGTON, May 10-Details of
the massacre at Nikolaievsk, Siberia, of
a Japanese garrison and numerous Rus
sian civilians by Bolshevik forces have
reached Japan. They were brought by
two refugees, an American and an
Armenian, who made their way to Alex
androvsk over 200 miles of Arctic
tundra in the late winter.
Early in March, according to the
refugees, the Bolshcvik army appeared
in force at the mouth of the Amur
River and occupied the port of Niko-
laievsk, making prisoners Of the nearly
200 anti-Bolshevik troops. Cutting
holes in the thick ice of the river, the
Bolsheviki thrust the prisoners under
the ice. Some civilians were said to be
among the victims.
The commander of the small Japa-
nesc garrison protested, the refugees
said, whereupon the Bolshevik COM
mander demanded that he surrender the
arms of his own soldiers. When this
was refused the Japanese were attacked
and driven into their barracks, which
was burned, together with the consulate,
in which the Japanese Consul, his wife
and two children had their quarters.
Every one in the buildings pershed in
the flames, none being permitted to
surrender. 1t is believed the Japanese
force numbered 1870 men.

Printing Facts

One of the best rules in print
ing is to avoid rules in printing
Printers have, happily, outgrowr,
the age of rules. Not onlv are
they archaic, but they are ugly
and superhuous, and are nearly
always evidence of laziness on
the part of the layout man.
This indictment does not apply
to border rules, which often serve
a useful purpose, nor to rules
under running-heads which some
times may be used to advantage.
But 1t is safer to avoid them too.

William Stuart Leeds. stock broker
and son of the late William Bateman
Leeds, lawyer, is suing to annul his
marriage to Mrs May E. Leeds, a Bos' .
ton divorcGc. The marriage took place
at Nashua, N. H., in 1911, after a long
courtship that began when Leeds en-
tered Harvard University. Mrs Leeds
was then Mrs. May Joyce. Mr. Lccds's
mother tried to discourage the match
but without success, her son eloping to
New Hampshire
The annulmcnt suit was brought in
Nassau County. On the application Of
Mrs. Leeds an order was signed by
Justice Fawcett Of the Supreme Court
that transferred the action to New
York County, whore it w,.s filed yester-
day. Mr.. Leeds, who is a cousin of the
late William B. Leeds, known in his
day as ''the tin plate king" asks that
his marriage Dc annulled and that the
child born Of the union be legitma-
tized
The title Of the case reads, civilian

Freedley, also known as May F.. Joyce
and May J. Leeds" 1t is the conten-

ing completed her divorce proceedings
Mrs. Leeds, in asking for d transfer
of the case, said Mr.. Leeds was not
a resident Of Nassau County and that
he brought the action there to make
defense difficult. She also alleges that
it was part Of "schcmc and design
to force and compel the defendant to
settle and compromise and make some
arrangements whereby he could get
possession Of the issue of their mar
riage."
The Leeds lived together until Oc-
tober 26, 1919. On that date, says Mrs.
Leeds, at the instance Of her husband
and without provocation, she was taken
from her home at Rutherford, N. j.,
and committed to the New jersey State
Hospital for the Insane at Morris
Plains, N. j. After spending two
months thcre, says Mrs. Leeds, the
authorities became convinced that she
was sane and upon her request and

Moffett Defends Cooper

The Tribune received telegram yes

man of the Democratic county commit
tee, at Schenectady, N T., in which he
declares the story published in yester-
days Tribune, that the confrma ton of
Frank Cooper as United States District
Judge would be held up Indefinitely
by the Senate at the request of Tam
many leaders, is "entirely erroneous"
Mr.. Moffett says:
"Rrank Cooper is not and never was
q. Socialist. He is lifelong Democrat
and one of the leading, wealthest and
most influential Democrats of this sec
ton. He was the Democratic candidate
for, Mayor in 1917 and severely criti.
cized the Socialist candidates attitude

In my opinion, the party's plank on the
treaty will be just about as the Pres-
dent wrote it in his telegram. 1t will
advocate the league and condemn the

Senator Borah of Idaho, one of the
most active of the Republicans oppos-
ing the treaty in any form, said:
THE President is perfectly consis-
tent. His party will either have to fol-
low HIM or go to pieces. They must
adopt the league as the head Of their
party advocated and indorsed it, or they
must repudiate what amounts to the
entire Administration While | utterly
disagree with the President as to his
views, | frankly express my admiration
of his consistently courageous course.
1t is exilarating these days to see a
man with courage enough to advocate
his convictions, regardless of the politi-
cal consequences. The only thing to
DO with this league is to make the issue
and let the American people pass
on it,"

President Wilson has been denied in

Bryan said here to-day in a statement
commenting on Mr.. Wilson's call to the
Democratic party to carry the fight for
ratification of the Treaty Of Versailles
into the Presidential campaign
The party had fought for ratification
without reservat tions as long as there
was hope of such action, he said, and
the issue now was whether the Demo-
cratic party believes in the fundamental
principle of democracy-na namely, the
right Of the majority to rule" Mr..
Bryan urged immediate ratification
with such amendments as might be
necessary.

Their Greatest Enemy

Film is what discolors mot the teeth.
1t is the basis of tartar. 1t holds food
substance which ferments and forms acid
1t holds the acid in contact with the teeth
to cause decay.
Millions Of germs breed in it. Thev,

doing ceaseless, fearful damage.
