CLAIMS TO LEAD X-RAY WORLD
Bellevue Hospital, New York, Takes
$4,000 Pictures in 1920; Use
22 Rooms.

New York.-Bellevue hospital claims
to have the largest X-ray department
in the world, occupying twenty-five
rooms.
Very soon another room will be add
ed to the department, to be used ex-
clusively for treatment Of cancer. Prof.
]. Seth Hirsch, head Of the X-ray
laboratories Of Bellevue, is at present
In Europe studying che methods Of
treatment Of the disease there.
Recently there have been invented
In Germany two X-ray machines for
treating cancer.
Fifteen years ago all the work was
done in two rooms, when only in ex.
treme cases was the X-ray used. No
other medical institution in the world
has taken so many X-ray pictures.
The first year of its installation
something like 400 pictures were
taken. Each year thereafter the mum.

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
OF Imprisonment in Moscow is not the
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 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 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 revolver to
the prisoners head. Confess, or I'll
shoot he commands. The prisoner
waits for the shot. He never knows
whether it 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.
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
BOlsheviki arrested them, for they were
chiefly anarchists who did not believe
In any government, particularly In Q
government so dictatorial as thai
maintained by the B0lsheviki."
Fucker said he found In prison alse

manufacturers will benefit greatly.
Professors and alumni Of the local
institution, according to the statement
1t issued, are contributing more than
any other city or institution to the
work.
The statement follows:
Germany, before the World war,
tried every means within her power to
have the German pharmacopOeia

China drugs of German standards. II
is understood that since the war Great
Britain has been trying to have the
British pharmacopoeia introduced for

1.-THE United States Pharmacopoeia
is a collection Of official formulas of

making various compounds or simple

legal standards Of strengths, qualities.

Thirty Different Formularies.
There are about thirty different
pharmacopoeias In the world, the most
important being the British, French.

American.

"With the Chinese government sane

 Every part of the preparations has been placed under the charge of com mittees the personnel of which has been selected only from among those Shriners who are capable of the most
 work and who have the greatest knowledge of what is expected of them. From the time that the grand march starts until the last strains of Home. Sweet Home," have faded away in the wee, sma' hours.

Twenty-one Deaths In Ireland During
 Week Ending Feb. ,
IRepubIIcan A, p. Leased WIrel

DUBLIN, Feb. 1.-The official sur vey of conditions in Ireland during the week ending Feb. 5, issued today, states that "the campaign of outrages against the crown forces" was con tinued with intensity, entaiIing 21 cases involving mortal injury. The most extensive operation. it is re- counted, was the big ambush at Dram kean, county Limerick, when II of the police were killed. The survey says that appearance of some of the bodies of victims of the ambuscade suggests the men were killed in cold blood after having been reduced to helplessness by wounds
 The feature of the week. it declared was the increased frequency of bomt attacks on police and, military lorries in the streets of Dublin, showing a callous disregard of public safety There we<e seven such attacks during the week. The casualties of the crown forces were slight, but one boy was killed and fl other persons injured.
 The survey states that Sim Feiners assassinated four civilians during the week.
 Ninety-seven arrests were made fol outrages and political offenses. Eighty four courts martial were held for the trial of civilians, resulting in 66 con- victions and two death sentences, one of which was commuted. The other sentences ranged from 10 months to@1; years imprisonment
 In the seven days 1S7 persons were interned, making the total of persons under internment 1855
 Statistics on outrages as given ir the survey up to Feb 5, include a tota of 70 courthouses destroyed, 535 police barracks destroyed and POS barracks damaged The raids for arms have numbered 3o32. Policemen to thu
 number of PA have been killed ant 236 wounded while 57 soldiers have | been killed and 143 wounded

 During the evening refreshments will be served and this part of the ar engagements is also under the direction of a special committee.
 The grand march will be led by Ellis Lewis Garrison, imperial poten- tate, who with the members of his Divan will be here especially for the initiatory exercises, and Mrs. Vic Hanny, wife of Vic Hanny, potentate of Fl Zaribah temple
 Last, but not least, the ball is to be distinguished by the beauty of the gowns worn by the ladies of the Nobles. It is expected that this grand ball will bring out more of the latest and best of the creations of the fashion world than has been the case in the Southwest in many years.
 Attention is directed to the fact that the bill win be for Shriners and their ladies only. and resident nobles will be allowed to bring only one lady to the affair."
