Set Free Tells Wonderful Story
 of Prsion Life

(Continued From Page One).
 For instance, l am riding on this train as unconcernedly as though I were used to it, but have not exper- fenced any motion in three years.
 All that time I was in prison, cooped up with different cells.
 Often in the stilln Nss of the death cell, I wondered if would ever again accustom myself to motion. Even the sight of a dog walking across the prison courtyard made me nervous"
 Kalamatiano glanced out of the window at the flat territory whirling by and smiled at his fancies. Unlike the other five Americans who came shows no traces of nervousness. He was cool and calm and took every thing philosophically. He told his story as he paced up and down the we were riding together in the train. He told it without passion and without emotion as if the incidents he narrated were ordinary occur renceS in every mans life.
 ''In September, 1918, I was in Sam ara said Kalamatiano. There I heard that the Reds had begun a campaign of reprisals for an attempt to assassinate Nfcolai Lenine. I soon found out that the reports of Red terrorism were not exaggerated.
 'I returned to Moscow to see what was happening and was caught in a
 
 ed outside of the American conulate, just as I was about to enter.
 'It was the custom for the police to place guard in a mans room after he had been arrested to arrest anyone who attempted to enter. The guards acted without discrimination, arresting all persons whether friends or bill collectors. Often such prison CTS were jailed longer than the orfgt- nal captive. The police did not ex- plain this mysterious policy, but they evidently acted in the hope that the longer they waited the better their chance to secure evidence for definite charges.
 s'Tbey condemned me to death and was sentenced to be executed in 24 hours.
 'During the week I was in Fscheka, and I was nearly without food and my strength and resistance became very low. Every night was taken before the examiners who

 For a year and q half, I waited execution and was then told that my sentence had been courruted to twen- ty years.

unreal and some of it very real, in deed. The worst time was in the ev- snings. Then it was that they took out the condemned prisoners and cautions usually took place in the eel lars and the cellars of Tscheka were great, gloomy, mouldy rooms furnish ing a fitting setting for such sanguin- ary deeds. I never found out why they did not shoot me.
 '"The prisons were crowded and fl was necessary to put more than one prisoner in the death cells at differ ent times. I remember one night, when eleven men were taken out In a batch for execution.
 CT am glad to say they died like men. There was no pulling back, no screams, no sobs. not a one broke down.

 Col Van Dersprey, of the British Flying Corps, upon the Archangel front (fighting was in progress around Archangel at that ume), was brought into KremGn prison a month before the exchange. He had been compelled to make a forced landing behind the Red lines and was captur- ed. The Bolshekiks put him in soli- tary confinement.
 "Through the stupidity of the guards, I met the British Colonel in the Russian baths in Kremlin pris- on. Do not get the idea we had such comforts regularly. Let me say by way of parenthisis, that had three baths in eight months I was in the Krem1in.
 After the exchange of the British prisoners, was transferred to Rutyrlxi prison. Conditions were a little better there. had been getting A quarter of a pound of bread daily in the Kremlin. At the new prison my rations were sucreased to on> pound of bread per day.
 CT preferred the jails to the con centration camps, I had served two terms in concentration camps and the food was abominable - much worse than in the jails.
 s'In December, 1920, one week be- fore the decree abolishing capita, punishment in Russia, except for cer- tain crimes like espionage, more nrfsoners were hastily taken out and shot than in many weeks previously: One Russian who had been tried at the same time as myself and sem fenced to five years, was shot to death."
 Kalamatiano requested that no comment upon the political situation he attributed to him. His exp1ana- ton was:
 .TThere are too many factors en- tering into the situation for anyone even a person who really knows the inside situation-to prophecy what Is likely to happen do not believe that any man in Russia or out IS qualified to make such a forecast

This food would be turned over to the relief committee. He says that extensive public work plans for employment are being formulated everywhere. one scheme under advisement promising the employment of 180.000 peasants machinery is being utilized to trans fer the starving from the famine area to more prosperous districts, where they can be employed.

CROP DAMAGES SLIGHT
Good Connecticut Apple Crop Expected Peaches Not Badly Damaged by Frosts-Big Potato Production Is Predicted.

Wakefield. Mass, May 16.-Aspara- gus and others of the more tender early vegetables were damaged by frosts dur ing the past week, but fruit trees, all most generally escaped, according to re- ports from the New England states re- ceived here by V. A. Sanders, agricul- tural statistician of the U. $. Bureau of Crop Estimates.
 A disposition of farmers to give bet ter care to their fruit trees was noted in reports from both apple and peach growing districts.
 Connecticut apples appear to have been damaged more than peaches by the freezes, but a fair crop seems likely, with possibly a good one,' MT. Sanders said.
 Peaches were not hurt much in most sections. Production seems unlikely to be as large as the last fall crop.''

marooned for twenty years on one

experience of James Howard, Amer

The news of Howard's condition
was brought here by DR.. William II.

who has been engaged in seismic re-
search work.
Doctor Hobbs said Howard was
cared for by the natives and finally
became agent at Panope for a German
trading concern, which place he held
until the Japanese took over the is
lands.

ceives criticisms and suggestions of
all scientists in the club.
A charter in Sigma XII is exception
ally difficult to obtain, according to
it's members here, and comes as a
cherished recognition to institutions
where proof is made that research is
on a high plane, carried on in an in
tensive manner, and worthwhile con-
tributions to the field of science are
made. 1t is believed that Idaho is the
only institution to receive this recog-
milton at the present convention.
Officers of the club here are: Dr.

F. Angel, vice president and Dr.
Henry Schmitz, secretary.
