RIGA. Aug 90. - The first train
bearing American relief adminlstra-
tion workers 70 the mine-gripped
regions Of Russia was speeding on its
way today. while other expeditions TO
follow were being rapidly organized
here.
Scenes at once pathetic humorous
and grotesque were witnessed when
the train that carried the forerun-
ners OF the great American move
ment TO save starving Russia pulled
out of the grimy little station on it's
way TO the border

for court on charges OF attempted
arson and breaking and entering by
Judge Hastings in Municipal Court
this morning.
In arguing for a nominal bail for
his client, Philip L. Garrett point
ed out that the State had proved NO
motive for the alleged attempted
arson. that when he himself en-
deavored TO Ak a motive by seeking
an answer from Scavallo as to
whether his goods we're insured or
not. the State objected TO the ques-
ton.
Three theories might be advanced
the attorney stated; First. that the
place was to be burned for revenge;
second. for insurance; third, that
Vari went to the place 20 sleep. he
being friendly with Scavallo, and
found the preparations for the burn
ing TO have been made by preu-

Scavallo happened TO be in Chester

made to burn his store.
Reba Nelson, Of 211 Madison
street, was the first witness. She
said that her attention was attract
ed to Scavallo's store by a bright
light in which she saw a man. She
could not Identify Vari as the man,
however. She knew that Scavallo
was away, she said, and so notified
other persons.
George Foreaker, living at the
same address, told Of bringing police
to the scene. In the scavallo house.
he related, goods were saturated with
a substance smelling like gasoline
and numberless matches were scat
tered about the floor.
Police officer Chambers. sent in
response to Foreaker's alarm, said
that when he entered an inner room
of the house he flashed his light and
discovered Nari crouching behind o
refrigerator with a knife in his hand
He covered the man with his pistol
and found a quantity Of goods in his
possession.
Chambers substantiated Foreak

goods and a mop with what is sup
posed to have been gasoline and IN,
strewn matches about the floor. 4
