Cheka Agents Keep Order

Moscow, Oct 81 (By Staff Cor
respondent of The Associated Press).
IF you see a Cheka agent on the
right side of the street, take the left
side," is common saying in Russia
showing the fear instilled by the sc
crct police which is credited here with
untold crimes and violence. Its
agents lock up people, try and execute
them. if they see fit, according to
popular information. AS there arc
no police in Russia, it devolves upon
this organization to keep the peace
and, when necessary, control the
Fed army.
While travelling through the er
i've length of Russia, The Associ
ted Press correspondent was shadow
d, from city to city, by these agent
ut never bothered by them. AS
Nurkey, their mission was poss b,
% protect the correspondent and no
involve the Soviet government il
fresh complications regarding its
treatment OIL Americans.
That the Cheka keeps order is evi
dent from the fact htat there is a
present order everywhere in Russia
save for bands of robbers among tn
Don and Kuban Cossacks, callirF
themselves the Green army and now
and then holding up trains in the lie
gion between the Black and Caspian
seas, along the line from Rostov t.
Petrovsk.
While passing through this region
the correspondent learned of one good
deed of the Cheka, the details of
which indicate how frightfully Rus.
sia's people have suffered from thei
'evolutions. Commissaire Lander,
he Kiev Cheka was spending tn
summer for his health at the beautif
watering place Of Kislovodsk, ono
one of the most fashionable of tn
North Caucasus baths. One nigh
there came to his house young man
and woman who told of the sudden
disappearance of a certain Countess,
a pretty girl of 20 belonging; to one
of the most famous of the olG Rus
sian nobility.
Lander started an investigation and
by morning had found the girl but in
a dreadful condition. 1t developed
that while sitting in one of the parks
of the town the evening previous two
men had placed her under arrest in
the name of the Cheka and "white"
spy and kept her prisoner in lonely
house.
Lander put at once all the machin
cry of the Cheka at work, had al
the trains watched and by night had
arrested two bandits who were iden
tilted as the criminals. While the
men were being returned to Kislo-
vodsk, they leaped from the train and
escaped Lander. after IL days of
search again arrested them in Rostov,
where they were at once executed.
Lander is now spending his own
money in an effort to aid the girl as
she and her family are without re-
sources.
. Against this good deed thousands
of evil ones are told. According to
one of these stories the Cheka search.
cd the home Of university professor
and physician, DR.. Floriansky, a year
ago in Kiev and found in his desk a
forgotten list, dated 1908, of 43 mem
bcrs of a patriotic organization,
many Of whom were notable profes-
sors and physicians. The Cheka ac-
cused the physician of counter-revo-
luton, arrested all the men named
on the list still in Kiev and shot all

Daily Life of a Newsboy

Philadelphia, Nov. 15.-Thc daily
experience Of newSboy is one Of the
universities of life, declared George
A. Welsh, member Of the Philadel-
phia Board Of Education, in discuss
irg a letter he had sent to the Board
requesting that no rule be adopted
against boys selling newspapers after
school hours.
'Not only do the boys acquire W.
usLle education in the school of life
through their work in selling p1pcrs,
he said, "but hundreds Of them earn
enough money to enable them TO con-
tinue in school when otherwise they
would be obliged 20 leave.
"There is no doubt that his daily ex-
pcriences teach him to be keen, honest
and tactful Above all, it teaches him
to be helpful TO his parents and other
members of his family. No mere neg
irtr"s can take the place of
these qualities. 1t is the duty of the
board of education to help and not
prevent boys from getting an educa-
tion. If any rule is adopted which
viii prevent pupils Of public schools
rom selling papers after school
hours, many boys will be compelled to
leave school,"
The letter, in part, sent to the
board follows:
"My experience has led me to con
.lude that the boy who is selling pa
,ers to support a needy familv MOOD
lot be the object Of special concern,
20 far as his morals are concerned"
