termine what effect prohibition has upon
business efficiency,
The business men plan to spend year
in obtaining and considering opinions
from the United States and Canada and
their conclusions are TO be published here.
A great amount of speculation also has
arisen here over whether the appeals
court win decide whether 6 p. IN. or II
p. m. is the legal closing hour for hotel
bars in Sydney. The 6 p. m. closing was
wartime measure and it was to cease
being effective within a certain period
after the war. A subsequent act, how
ever, provided that referendum should
be held on the continuance of the early
closing hour The present labor gov
eminent, announced that because of the
expense involved it had declined to take
the question before the people.

IN RUSSIAN PRISON
Arrested by Soviet Secret Police and
Offered Money to Leave Country
Slept on Floor.

TIFLTS. Soviet Georgia. Oct % (By a
staff correspondent of The Associated
Press) What happens TO the foreigner
locked up as a political suspect even
under the supposedly mild rule of this
Soviet may be judged from the case of
Mrs. Llama Edwards, the Russian wife
of James Edwards of Youngstown, O.,
who has just been released through the
efforts of the Dutch consul, representing
Upitnd St"tes interests here.
Mrs. Edwards had a perfectly good
passport, obtained as the wife of James
Edwards, whom she married here 10
months ago while he was an officer of the
Near East Relief. He went away on
business. so he told her, and has not
since returned.
When Georgia passed again into the
hands of Moscow last March, after sew
eral years as an independent republic
she fed with many others to Batum but
there decided to remain and take her
chances.
She worked for a time as a translator
of English under the new Soviet and
then in August was arrested by the Sc
cret police, charged with being a foreign
spy and was offered money to go ia Con-
Stantinople and work for the Soviet
This she refused and so she was sent
here and imprisoned.
In prison most of her clothes were
taken away, ostensibly to be burned
during the cholera epidemic and those
she had on fumigated She was not
given a bed but was told to sleep on the
floor Her food, so she related later. CON

with hot water in the morning and thin
soup at night. She scrubbed floors dur
ing the day Also, each day she was told
she would be shot as a bourgeois.
What aroused the special hate and at
tention of the Bolsheviki was her maiden
name of Romanov. She stated that her
mother was an American. Llama Daven-
port, and that she was born in Taskent,
where her father was governor general.
Because of the name Romanov she was
suspected of being related to the family
tof the late car.
She gave her last possessions of Jewels
as a bride to released woman prisoner
and got word to the Dutch consul who,
after various demands, secured her re-

 The story of the cure is given in the annual report of the Employees Tubercu- losis Relief association of New Haven. Rosie is the name of the little patient, and the story is as follows:
 It was in November) a year and a half ago. The brilliantly lighted hall was filled with perhaps a hundred of the most erni-- nent physicians in this part of the world. 1t was the meeting of the Medical society of New Haven county. The uadence had just listened with great interest to the reading of a paper on the sunlight treat ment of tuberculosis. One of the points emphasized in the paper was that the skin of the patients who were being benefited by the treatment took on beautiful brown or bronze color. To illus trate this point five of the tuberculosis children from the Meriden state tuber- culosis sanatorium, who were receiving sunlight treatment. were brought into the hall and passed around, stripped, for eX- animation by the assembled doctors The novelty of the procedure and the smiling happiness of the little group of tuber- culosis brownies caused something of a sensation, and stirred the emotions of every man and woman present
