Sternberg Admits
He Conspired for
Overthrow Soviet
(By Associated Pyess)

Petrograd, Nov. Baron Michel
Ungern-Sternberg, former anti-Bol-
shevik leader in Siberia, who was
sentenced and shot at Novo Niko-
laievsk in September for coopera-
ton with Colonel Semonoff in an at
tempt to overthrow the Far Eastern
republic, met his death calmly.
When he appeared before the mill
tary court martial which condemned
him, he wore a yellow Mongol robe
upon the shoulders of which were
the epaulettes of general. He ad-
mitted all the charges against him,
except the one that he was cooper
ating with Japan.
In a low, calm voice he replied to
all questions asked by the courtmar-
tial. He modestly related the ro-
mantle career he has had since he
began working with Semonoff to
combat Bolshevist control Of Central
Siberia and told of their agreement
with the Putuktu of Mongolia, at
Urga, whereby an autonomous state
was to be maintained much as it was
under the old Russian empire.
But the Mongols tired of the
agreement with Semonoff and his
Cossack bands, who were finally for
ced to move across into Siberia to
get food. There the troops Baron
Ungern- Sternberg was commanding
met overwhelming forces from the
Far Eastern republics army and he
was captured.

Young Davidson
Prefers Politics
to Banking Life

Locust Valley, N. Y, Nov. A.
Frederick Trubee Davidson, son of
Henry P. Davidson, Morgan partner,
prefers votes TO dollars.
He is going to follow his prefer
renee by entering the political arena
instead of the banking fraternity of
Wall street. His first step comes
Nov. 8, when he hopes to be elected
member of Assembly from the Sec
bnd district of Nassau county and
take the seat formerly occupied by
Theodore Roosevelt, now assistant
Secretary of the Navy.
Davidson hopes this election, if it
comes out his way, will prove the
first milestone in a lifelong career
in politics.
81 have always wanted to go into
politics." said Davidson in outlining
his ambitions. "Back in 1914, when
I entered Yale, / began to pck out
subjects knew would be good train
ing for me. When / took up the
study of law at Columbia, l had no
intention of practicing, but wanted
to obtain groundwork for an ex-
perience in politics"
By way of starter, he went to
the Republican National Convention
as secretary to Herbert Parsons
and later to Charles D. Hilles. Now
he is getting acquainted with dis
,trict leaders and asserts that, if he
is elected to the assembly, he hopes
to stay there for several terms, "to
get right close to the people" He
disclaims any desire for a senatorial
toga.
According to tradition, the senior
Mr.. Davidson should violently oppose
his sons political ambitions and
seek to chase him along the trail of
the elusive dollar. But he is doing
nothing of the kind, and is sympa-
thetically following his sons candi-
dacy.
Another of young Davidson's sup
porters is his wife, who was Miss
Dorothy Peabody, daughter of the
Rev. Endicott Peabody, headmaster
of Groton, where Davidson went to
! school.

SOVIET .RUL ELS
GREAT BOON To
PEASANT CLASS
(By Associated p-"ssl

tBy AHhOcluteu S'T"NN'
Moscow, Nov. 1.-The Russian pea
SAINTS have Jared best under Soviet
rule, despite the fact that the gov
eminent laid stress on the better
ment of the condition of the city
workmen and communists, who are
mostly city and town workers.
Except in the famine areas where
over 100000 are necessitious pea
SAINTS, the farming population has
kept the pot boiling and managed to
eat much more regularly than the
city men. The great majority of the
metropolitan population has returned
to the land.
The Bolshevik prevention of free
interior trade has starved the cities
whose people had to go to the coun-
try for food carrying with them their
personal belongings which they trad
ed for potatoes and flour. AS a con-
sequence the thrifty farmers have
become wealthy.
As wealth goes in the villages
they have horded rubles, household
articles and wearing apparel which
the city folk have brought in ex-
change for bread.
The peasant women also have ia
ken on the fashions of their city Sis
tiers, struggling in vain to make
themselves grand danes. With three
cows, litter of pigs, flock of chic
kens and a potato patch, the peasant
woman had the most desired commo-
dities in Russia and she exchanged
-four, vegetables and meat for the
trappings of city life. Humble cab
ms are filled with gaudy tapestries,
gilt furniture, pianos, musical ms
truments, Dresden china, hideous
marble and bronze ornaments, silver
dishes, opera coats and shoes.
The rugged peasant girls with
broad shoulders, muscular arms and
large feet, which is the result OF
years of ploughing and hoeing and
,woodchopping, present strange ap-
pearance in their tiny aigretted hats
short skirts and slipperes which the
village shoemakers have fashioned
after the Parishian models for feet
only accustomed to the boulevards.
Investigation seems to show that
the peasants are generally pleased
with the governments new system OF
taxation whereby the farmers must
surrender fixed percentage of their
crops in taxes, for they are finding
it far preferable to the old requisi'
ton system. They are not resist
ing it to any considerable extent and
seem confident that only fixed
amount will be taken.
The present system of free trade
reminds them of old times and they
are generally showing satisfaction
The government seems to be gradu.
ally winning them over in half
hearted way.
Meantime the government finds its
pet protegees-the city workmen-
are faring worse and worse and they

seem much disgruitled. Free trade
is of no assistance as the people are
lacking the money to buy. In addi-
ton the government is unloading the
responsibility for the feeding of the
workmen.
The outcome of the complete mo-
nopolization of trade is probably
wholly different than the party lead
ership intended and the party are
now finding it difficult to explain
their good intentions to the indust-
rialists whose families lack food and
clothing.

NOW, DID HE,
OR DIDN'T HE?
If He Did, What Did the
Paper Do With 1t? Is
Question.

An exceedingly interesting question Of
veracity has come to public attention with
the return from his vacation of Irving
Lemaux, city chairman ana member Of
Mayor Jewett's board of works.
Mr. Lemaux is reported to have given
a statement to a political writer for an
evening paper last Monday al the Colum
bia Club in which he is said TO have ad-
vised the reporter to put it on the first
page that I am for Shank for mayor and
intend to do all can to elect him"
Lemaux is further said to have told
the reporter that he would give personal
attention to the headquarters II 1t be-
came desirable. but that he preferred to
remain in the background because Of
his business interests and the belief that
Ernest Kingston, vice chairman. was con
ducting the organization affairs In a
manner that met with the approval of
every one
The purported statement, 1t is admit
ted in political circles, is both logical
and desirable for the enhancement of
the success of the party nominee
It is being spread broadcast by both
the adherents Of Samuel Lewis Shank
and by the members of the Republican
city organisation.
But the trouble is that the newspaper
10 which the statement is alleged 10 have
been given, and which is opposed 20 Mr.
Shank. has never printed the statement.
Today Mr. Lemaux denied having made
any statement whatsoever to the reporter
or the newspaper, as has been asserted.
Mr.. Lemaux declared to the Times that
he had been asked to give a statement.
but had refused to give it. He also
refused to accept the report concerning
the alleged statement as a reflection. Of
his views at the present time. He de-
clined to repudiste the statement that
be was ''for Shank" and he declined to
admit that he had ever given out such
a statement for publication.
Among the politically wise, 1t was sug
gested that the newspaper to which Mr.
LemauX is alleged to have given the
statement, declined. through its own
prejudices. to publish it and induced Mr.
Lemaux to withdraw it.
