AL EXANDER LOSES
FIGHT FOR NEGRO
HABEAS CORPUS WRIT DE-
MED FOR BOY DISTRICT AT
TORNEY SAID WAS PEON.

ATLANTA, Ga. = Federal Judge
Samuel H. Sibley Saturday denied a
writ of habeas corpus for Dave Wor-
thy, a 16-year-old negro, held by the
Atlanta police on a warrant sworn out
against him by L. E. Millsaps, OF Pike
county, charging the negro with OBJ
tanning advance money from him for
some work and then Skipping out, VIC
lating his contract.
The writ was asked for by District
Attorney Alexander on the grounds
that the negro was about to be forced
into peonage. 1t was held by Judge
Sibley that there was no evidence OF
peonage and that the federal court
had no jurisdiction over the validity
of a state warrant.
Mr.. Millsaps declared that he want
ed the boy to- return to Pike county
and stand trial on a charge OF violating
his contract. He did not want the ne
gro to work for him.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Fancy silk shirts
sporty socks and loud, expensive era,

plain knitted goods, because men are

haberdashers made this announcement
today when they appeared before the

Well dressed men have abandoned

STARVING RUSSIANS
ABANDON CHILDREN
100000 SAID TO BE DESERTED
IN VOLGA DISTRICT. HORSES
NEARLY ALL DISAPPEAR.

RIGA, Letvia.-Conditions in Rus
STA, which the United States is prepar-
ing to alleviate unoficially through the
American relief organization in Eu-
rope, have been brought about through
the complete collapse of industry and
production under the soviet regime.
Reports from reliable sources to Mr..
Hoover show in striking figures Rus
sia's economic plight.
There has been such deterioration OF
transportation that there is doubt as to
ability to move the local SURPRISES that
do exist in the richer grain producing
provinces in Siberia to those areas
which normally depend upon them.
The Nolga region, where the greatest
degree of starvation exists, is even less
accessible to transport of relief from
abroad through the seaports than from
Siberia.
The decadence in fat production is
general, owing to the requisition of
animals and the diversion of animal
feeds to breadstuffs. Consequently chill
dren are suffering more acutely in
many sections than adults.
Pillaging Shops.
The city of Tambov was invaded by
a maddened crowd of tens of thousands
OF fugitives from the surrounding
country. They brushed aside the Red
troops and pillaged the shops in search
of food. That exhausted, they fell like
wild beasts upon horses of cabs, fire
engines and street cars and glutted
their hunger with the raw meat.
The Polish army is mounting artil-
lery on the Russian border in the
|neighborhood of Baranowitchi to pre-
vent hordeS of starving Russians from
the famine regions from invading Po-
land. 1t is estimated that 100000 fam
inc victims are massed on the Polish
border.
Moscow reports that famine condi-
tons are growing worse, particularly
among children, 100000 of whom in
the Volga district are reported to have
been abandoned by their parents to
the care of the state.
Horses About Gone in Russia.
Russian horses, which numbered &c.
100000 before the war, practically have
disappeared, having been eaten by the
famished population, it was revealed.
Classes in Moscow University were
dismissed by the lecturers because the
students were too weak from hunger
to continue their work.
Thousands in the famine districts
are setting fire to their villages before
deserving them for other parts of Rus.
