Force Confessions"
MEETS DHPORTEES IN JAIL
Found Twenty Men Shipped Out Of
the United States In Various PrIs-
ons In Moseow-Many Proml.
n6nt Men Also Prisoners.

Reval, Esthonia.-The worst phase
Of imprisonment in Moscow is not the
possibility or probability Of execution,
but the daily attempts made to wiring
confessions from the prisoners, says
DR.. Morris Fucker, Brooklyn COM
munist, who arrived here recently at
ter having served four months in the
Russian jails.
Fucker was sentenced In New York
in 1919 to 60 years Imprisonment for
sedition, but was deported instead
Speaking Of the life of the prisoners
in the principal political prison at Mos
COW, which is called the 20. o. w." he
said, "the daily third degree to which
prisoners are subjected If they are sus-
pected Of serious political crime is
worse than execution.
Torture Repeated Daily.
"These prisoners are taken every
day, If their captors think there is a
chance Of wringing a confession from
them, into the questioning room.
There, whether they have anything to
confess or not, they are commanded to
reveal the truth
"The commissar puts a revolver to
the prisoners head. Confess, or I'll
shoot he commands. The prisoner
waits for the shot. He never knows
whether 1t is coming or not.
"This process is often repeated un-
til the prisoner will confess rather
than undergo any further ordeals, In
which case he Is shot anyway"
Meets Deported Radicals In jail.
The mental condition of these prison
Ors becomes such that they would pre-
fer death, said Doctor Fucker. The
Brooklyn communist says that he met
in the various prisons of Moscow 20 Of
the radicals depOrted from America and
that he could well understand why the
BOlshevih arrested them, for they were
chiefly anarchists who did not believe
In any government, particularly in a
government SO dictatorial as that
maintained by the Bolsheviki."
Fucker said he found In prison also
the president Of the Turkestan soviet
republic, Mohammed Hadjiz; Gen.
Alex GertOr, once commander of the
Russian southwestern front: eight
members Of the executive committee Of
the right wing Of the socialtrevolution-
list party, three members Of the execu-

tbs present season at Washington Park

The Kansas City Blues are the Earewell

tain program.
Having reached the frst safvfsion as
the schedule nears Its close, the Indi-
ans meant to do their mightiest in an eff
fort to finish in the select company. The
chances for the Tribe clinging to fourth
place are splendid, because the club re-

better. However, he had fine encourage
ment from the bat Of Ralph SINNERS,
who poled two terrific home runs over
the left field fence. 1t was a gala batting
day for Ralph and he certainly socked
the ball, thereby winning the ball game
and numerous articles OF haberdashery
for himself.
Five Of the Indians eight runs were
driven in by SINNERS. which is regular
Babe Ruth stuff. AS SINNERS Is booked
