VANDERBILT SAYS HE
HAD RUBIN FREED
Engineer Declares His Present
Critic Begged His Help
in Moscow.

Between answering the telephone and
receiving special delivery letters and
kilograms in his suite aA the Hotel Com
modore Washington ID. Vanderlip found
time yesterday to give his last interview
to newspapermen before leaving for Los
Angeles where he hopes to float his
billion dollar Russian enterprises. He
wished particularly to reply to an attack
made upon him by Jacob II. Rubin of
Milwaukee in a communication to THE
NEW YORK HERALD yesterday morning.
"One day on the streets of Moscow
Mr. Vanderlip said, 81 was approached
by man whose face was twitching and
who appeared to be in a bad state men
tally. He said his name was Rubin and
that he was detained in Moscow by the
Russian Government He was well
housed and fed, he said and was allowed
one theatre ticket each week, but he
begged me to obtain his release.
81 went at once to the Soviet Foreign
Office, where I saw one of the secreta-
ries. S. Norateva, who looked up Rubin's
case. According to the records Rubin
was imprisoned in west Siberia by the
Denilne forces. He was later released
by the Lenine Government, but detained
in Moscow for writing articles against
the Soviet
I'm two weeks / had obtained Rubin's
release. There were thirty-seven Aneri-
cans in prison when / arrived in Mos
COW. Now there are only six in prison
and ten detained in the city; the others
were released through my efforts"
Mr. Vanderlip had a dinner engage
ment last evening with Ludwig c. A.
Martens. ambassador" of the Russian
Soviet republic. He will go directly to
California and not visit Washington
first as he had intended. because, he
said, owing to the surveillance of Scot
land Yard he does not dare TO transact
business with his Los Angeles hackers
by mail. He expects to return to New
York after Christmas.
The publishers Of America need never
fear shortage of print paper if one OF
his schemes works out Mr.. Vanderlip
said.
II want to develop n pulpwood trade
between the Murmansk district of north
ern Russia and the eastern seaboard
of the United States" he said. North
ern Russia has many hundreds Of thou
sands of square miles of pulpwood
easy of access to the sea and to deep
water harbors, which can be loaded
into American vessels and carried to
the paper factories of the eastern sea-
board of the United states, these same
vessels having carried to Russia car
goes Of machinery and supplies pur-
chased in the United states.
'"This will prove a strong competitor
against Canadian pulpwood now sub
iect to high freights from Canada on
the railroads. / took the matter up
to-day with one of tho foremost pub
fishers in the United States and he is
very enthusiastic over the proposition.
The traffic Will be an all year round
affair. as the Murmansk district Is
never icebound.'

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.-Herbert NJ.
Bingham, the son of Mrs. Theodore
Bingham of New York and president
of the freshman class of the University
of Pennsylvania, made a speech to-
night at the annual class smoker in
Houston Hall, but before he could do
sophomores who had kidnapped him,
and he had to soothe his mother, who
had come to Philadelphia not only to
find her missing son but to prosecute
the university and the sophomore class
if anything had happened to him.
Not long ago the sophomore class had
a smoker, and their president, Paul Har-
tenstein, was TO have been the principal
speaker. But young Bingham and other
freshmen captured Hartenstein on the
eve Of the smoker. took him to New
York and kept him in the Bingham
home until the smoker was over. when
they returned him to the sophomore
class with many apologies.
In retaliation, the sophomores planned
to kidnap Bingham, and they did so last
Wednesday afternoon. That night his
mother heard that he was missing, and
she came here at once to find him. stay
ing with friends In West Philadelphia.
She sought out the sophomores, but
they refused to tell her where the boy
was being kept. They did assure her
that he was well and safe. though per-
haps a trife dishevelled, because he did
not leave Philadelphia willingly, but they
told her that she could not see him until
tomorrow morning. when they would
deliver him in good condtio. That
however, did not satisfy Mrs. Bingham.
and she told members of the freshman
class that she would sue the university
If anything happened to him.
II want to know by what right these
students have taken my son around the
country" she is reported to have said.
II sent him here TO get an education
and | don't see what travelling around
has got to do with it"
The sophomores declared that Bine-
ham had been taken some distance away,
and in proof of that statement they pre-
scented a bill of sos to the class to pay
for Binghams transportation and the
expenses of the two men who were
guarding him. The freshmen, however,
proceeded with their plans for the
smoker, and Mrs. Bingham was just
about to address them I'm place of her
son when the door of the hall opened
and young Bingham entered. tired and
dishevelled~ but happy. He explained
that he had escaped from his captors at
Stroudsburg and had managed to reach
the hall in time to make his speech. Mrs.
Bingham left for New York after n short
talk with her son.
