HOPE TO COME BACK
Deported Radicals Are Fleeing
From Soviet Rule.
Reported to Be Greatly Disappointed
at What They Found in the
"PronIssd Land"

Riga, Latvia-Litte groups of Rus
sian-Americans, who were deported or
volunteered to 60 from America to
soviet Russia, are trickling back
across the Latvian frontier from the
land of the Bolsheviki very frequently
these days. All hope to get back TO
the United States.
These emigrantS, according to Amer
lean consular officials, who hear their
stories and have to tel them there is
not much chance for them 10 get
back, are greatly disappointed with
what they found in the promised
land"
They tell Of starvation and long
rides in trains so packed with people
that there is scarcely room to breathe.
Besides those who have succeeded
I'm getting to Latvia, there are many
others who have written friends In
Riga asking for money from America.
The Moscow correspondent of the
Riga RundSchau writes as follows
about the Russian-Americans inside
the country:
"The numbers of Russian commu-
nists expelled from America, WHO with
wry faces are selling their last goods
and chattels on the Moscow market
places, are increasing every day.
"The soviet government is doing its
utmost to keep these people above
water by giving them even whole fac
tories to run and manage. But as
these factories are very much run
down, even American spirit and en-
ergy is not sufficiently strong TO set
them in operation.
"a little better off are those Of the
immigrants who have managed 10 take
with them from America their tools
or goods produced by their trade. Such
people are doing a big business and
can afford to live we'll Thus, one
party ef emigrants has succeeded in
installing a small sewing factory con
taining' about 800 sewing machines.
Formerly the soviet government
simply would have confscated this
lucrative enterprise, but at present
the government IS q little wary, the
more so as In this case they have to
do with immigrants whom they make
a point of treating with the greatest
possible courtesy and consideration.
"Quite recently there arrived a
party of Americans whose speciality
is the construction of small dwelling
houses. They are welcomed and aided
by the soviet government"

For IA years Hall, under the name
of Harry +. Thomas of Denver, has
quaked at the sight of a police officer.
He has avoided all persons he knew
when he was Hall. He has spent wake
full nights. fearing arrest for murder.
A wife and then a child served to add
to his ahxieties. What. if they should
discover he had killed a man?
But the worry is over. Thomas was
walking recently on a Denver street.
He met the man for whose murder he
believed he was hunted. the letter
states. The two recognized each other
at the same time. The murdered
man held out his hand in greeting.

There il fifteen hundred million dol
lars worth CT gold in a building in
Wall street, New York.
The building is the United States
assay Office, adjoining the sub-treas-
Ery, and there are approximately go
tons of pure gold piled in bars and
ranged in sacks Of coin in the vaults.
The gold in this one federal building
Is about One-fifth Of the worlds supply
OF the precious metal, and is by far
the greatest amount of gold ever gath
cred in one place or one city.
The flood of yellow metal that has
gushed into the building since the
war has come from every corner of the
earth, and every week this horde OF
gold is increased by many millions.
Almost every transatlantic liner
brings more Of il, and no one knows
when the flood will recede.
All foreign coins received are melt
ed into bars and these bars are num-
bered, tagged, tabulated and ready for
shipment should the call come. The

NATIONAL |. OF [. TO MEET APRIL 2

The ninth annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the unl.eo states. to be held at Atlantic City April 27 to 29, will have as Its theme: '.In the public interest-more business methods in government; less govern ment management of business" This announcement was made by the Phoe- nix chamber of commerce, which VIII send delegates to the convention.
 All of the questions to be brought before the meeting will be approached as they relate to the general subject. Speakers will include government ofn- cials and leading business men in many lines of finance, commerce and in dustry-
 Much of the work of the convention will be done as heretofore, in group sessions. Groups representing the ma for divisions of business will take up, first, problems peculiar to- the indus tries or interests within the group, and, second, major problems common to all business, which will include the question of the tariff and that of taxa ton. The program for the meeting marks new departure for the chamber Tn | that groups will discuss questions of a more general nature than those affect | ing solely the industries within the group. The purpose of this is to get l the fullest and freest discussion or
 broad general problems that touch va rious phases of business differently.

10 per cent from par was necessary to cover items of attorneys fees and ex- penses connectel with the sale of bonds. I fail to see how SEese matters will be covered by an amendment which simply changes the amount at which bonds may be sold and is alto gether silent upon the very matters of attorneys fees and expenses sought to be regulated by the admendment. If attorney fees and expenses were per- mitted undr the old law as legal charges against public funds. similar attorney fees and similar expenses will be legal charges If senate bill 15S be- came the law. And if it were intended to legalize such fees and expenses not at present legal charges, the proposed amendment does not state such pur- pose.
 q believe that the voting public who voted the bond issues to be immediate ly affected by the proposed law should be protected against being compelled to pay interest and principal upon amounts in excess of the actual pro ceeds of the bonds voted to be sold at par: and that he legislature should not force upon that public a 10 per cent discount in any event unless expressly voted upon by the people with full | knowledge that such discount would possibly be made. As to future bond
  normal financial times has been that it's public securities have demanded par and in most instances premium above par. As governor of the state cannot become a party to an act which will impair the value of public securi- ties of the counties, cities, towns or other municipal corporation in the state'
 The governor also transmitted to the secretary with his disapproval senate bill 1e2 which covered substantially the same question of permitting sales on school district bonds at 90 per cent | of the par instead of requiring them to ! be sold, if at all, at not less than 100 per cent of par and accrued interest. ! House bill 151. empowering towns to | increase their territorial limits and in crease taxation beyond 10 per cent in crease limit, was another bill vetoed by I the governor Saturday.

Wheelbarrow Loads Of Diamonds

When talk about dia- monds I'm not talking about seven precious stones or 30 diamonds as might some folks who sell a dia- mond or two a year.
 Pm talking about enough diamonds that with the set tings would fill several wheelbarrows. That's why I'm able to sell lots of dia- monds. 1 buy lots of lem and l buy lem for cash di- rect from individual own CTS. Then I sell on a small margin of profit SO the pur- chaser saves 35To to 5OTo.
 I'm always ready to buy diamonds and give cold cash for them and that's why I'm able to accumulate SO many that my safe won't hold lem all. l have a big safety box in the bank full, too.
 So when you want a dia- mond you'll naturally come to me, because l have lots of lem and because 1 guar antee 35%o to 5O9o saving on every purchase and be- cause l guarantee to return at least 9OTo of the pur- chase price any time in one year = but get this, if you don't see what you want in my window or in my store, ask me to go get just what you want from my vault in the bank.
 Remember too, that am glad to do this, whether you actually want to buy right now or not.
 Some people say I am famous because I sell dia- monds-the fact is I am famous because l sell them at great savings to the purchaser.
