PASSING THE BUCK

Crystal Falls had little scene OF
passing the buck last week Friday
night when the city marshal and the
county sheriff made the rounds and
notified all candy stores TO cut out
punch boards and other gambling de-
vices. The reason given for the ac-
tion was that The Diamond Drill had
raised q fmrore about them.
Now, The Diamond Drill isn't
shirkug any responsibility. The
eradiction OF punch boards and other
gambling devices was the proper
thing for the officers 10 do but why
pass the buck to The Diamond Drill
when this paper made no complaint
on that score. What The Diamond
Drill complained OF was the seeming
license given one or two places In

REDS INFL|CT
THIRD DEGREE
Brooklyn Communist Tells of Tor
ture in Russian Prisons to
Force Confessions"
MEETS DEPORTEES IN JAIL
Found Twenty Men Shipped Out Of
the United States in Various Pris.
ons in Moscow-Many Promi-
nent Men Also Prisoners.

Reval, Esthonia.-The worst phase
possibility or probability Of execution,
but the daily attempts made to wiring
confessions from the prisoners, says
DIR. Morris Fucker, a Brooklyn COM
munist. who arrived here recently af-
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 80. o. w." he
said, "the daily third degree to which
prisoners are subjected II they are sus-
pected Of serious political crime Is
worse than execution.
Torture Repeated Daily.
These prisoners are taken every
day. IL their captOrs think there is q
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 I'M
til the prisoner will confess rather
than undergo any further ordeals. in
which case he Is shot anyway"
Meets Osported Radicals In Jail.
The mental condition of these prison
ers 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
Bolshevfki 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 social revolution
ist party, three members Of the execu-
tive committee Of the left wing of
that party, including Mayorieff. who
was cOmmissar of agriculture in 1918.
and also former minister of eccesi-
astical affairs. NJ Samaun.
Fucker described the summoning of
prisoners for execution in much the
same way as did Schwartz. the San
Francisco communist. who came out
Of Russia some months ago.
