RED AGENT IN PARIS
WITH DIAMOND FUND
Arrested With 100000 F.
Worth of Propaganda.

Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun AND NEw
ioRK HERALD. Copyright, 1870, BY THE Sun
AND NEW YoRK HERALD.
PARIS, July 1.-THE Paris police are
mysteriously uncommunicative regarding
the details of the arrest OF a Russian
giving his name as Djogoth, and who IL
believed to have come to Paris for the
purpose Of spreading Bolshevist propa-
ganda. When arrested he had In his
possession 100000 francs worth Of dia-
monds. He refused to reveal where he
obtained them. Three years ago Djogoth
worked as a bookbhlder In a Paris shop
at small salary.
His career in diplomacy started when
the Bolshevih gained control In Russia
Leaving Paris he reported In Moscow
and in Odessa. where he was employed
by Bolshevist officials as adviser. because
Of his ability to speak French. French
Socialist journalists have traced his par
ticipation in Bolshevist propaganda work
successfully In Rumsnia, Turkey and
even In England. where he arrived et the
same time Krassin reached that coun-
try.
1t Is believed that the diamonds he
was carrying were a part OF Lenines
fund for the use Of his agents through
out Europe, and that he was serving as
lialson between Moscow and individuals
for the distribution of wealth which un-
doubtedly originated in raids on bour-
geois homes.

his own petard in Sheffield a few days
pgo Sir Eric. who regards himself as
an apostle of efficiency, has been the
butt of numerous idiOmatic expressions
uttered by disgruntled commuters who
had forgotten their railroad tickets and
lad to pay their fares again. His rule
was not to allow any passenger to pass
the barrier until such passenger pro-
duced his ticket. For months this rule
has been enforced strictly.
At last, to the JOY of numerous VIC
Tins OF the rule its author was finally
subjected to il. Sir Eric arrived at the
Sheffield railroad station and essayed to
pass the barrier without showing his
ticket. The collector there held him up
and demanded his ticket. Sir Eric then
made hurried search for the elusive
cardboard, but In vain. The ticket col
lcctor finally became impatient, and to
ppease him the Minister OF Transport
offered to leave with him his personal
,ard.
Again the Fates were unfriendly, for
he did not have his card case with him.
Sir Eric finally escaped by entering
his name in an address book and thereby
breaking his own rule. However, pas
senger without a ticket must pay the
forfeit-that Is to say, he must buy an
other ticket or attend court and explain
there why he would not.

group Of New. Workers. who have just
announced TO Premier Millerand their

schools. The selection OF the recipients
of each purse will be made by Paul Leon
director Of the School of BeauX Arts,
and other Paris experts.
Other New Workers associated with
this movement are p. Morgan, Thomas

This recognition OF French talent Is
particularly opportune. for the esteem
which Americans are showing for
French art Is fully reciprocated by the
French for American art Indeed. it
is seldom that Paris society. as we'll as
the French people generally, have shown
such interest In the work of American
artists as they are showing this season
