CONV|CTS P|LFER
UTAH POSTOFF|CE
PLUNDERINe OF SAFE AT DELTA,
is LAID TO TWO JAILBREAk-
ERs FROM UTAH PRISON
Ed Harris and Oscar slaney Are Be-
lieved to be Responsible for Rob-
berry of $4,000 from Uncle Sam
In Early Morning Hours

Delta, Utah-In a desperate attempt
to get out of the state and to elude
searchers, making their liberty perman-
ent, Ed Harris and Oscar Blaney, who
escaped from the Utah state prison
last week, are believed to have been
responsible for the robbery of $1,000
from the Delta postOffice in Willard
county early Wednesday.
Word was received at Salt Lake
shortly after the discovery at $50
o'clock that the postoffice had been
robbed. According to the postmaster,
James A. Faust, the robbery was COM
mitted about 2 o'clock. He stated that
enhance was gained by forcing a rear
door. With the exception of $3.50 in
cash, the loot consisted of postage
stamps.
The loot was obtained from the safe.
1t is supposed that the robbers secured
hammer or another instrument with
which to batter in the doors, which now
bear ample evidence of the thieves
work Fingerprints upon the safe and
the door will be taken in an effort to
identity the robbers.
Mr.. Faust said that the robbers left
an automatic pistol behind. This is
believed to have been one of the wea-
pons secured by the cOnvicts when they,
with three others, planned to escape
fro mthe state prison. While Harris
and B1aney escaped, the three others,
as reported a few days ago, were
found hiding In an abandoner shop at
the prison and they surrendered.
Warden James A. Devine said that
the part of the country in which the
poStoffice robbery was committed was
an cid stamping ground of Harris, who
was convicted a few months ago OF
robbery of a bank at st. George, Utah.
AT that time Harris sought escape
through Nevada and the warden said
he believed that Harris would again
sttemm to seek escape in that dlrec-
ton, possibly by travelling via Ely he
said that every possible opening was
being watched and that all the au-
thorities in the locality had been ad-
vised. As consequence it was
thought that Harris would not remain
long at large.
The suspicion that Harris and Biah-
ey are responsible for the robbery at
Delta is said to be strengthened by
the fact that the men escaped Mrs.
Malon Brough said that she had fed
a man who closely resembled the pic
lures published Of Harris. Informal
ton TO this effect was received oy
Chief of Police Joseph K. Burbidge
from the state prison. While Harris
from Mrs. Brough last Tuesday night.
This would indiaIe. according 10 OF
ticials, that Harris and Blaney gained
transportation to Nephi or near there
and that they might still be operating
a car or travelling on foot. The prob
bility is, according to Delta author1
ties. that Harris and Blaney reached
Delta in a machine. committed the
robbery and vanished.

Moscow-"The soviet government
has decided to return to private capt
tai all industries throughout Russil
save four-railways, metallurgical, ex-
tile and fuel sources" b. Kemeneff,
head of the Moscow soviet and member
of the bolsheyik cabinet declared in an
exclusive interview with the United
Press Friday.
The complete scope of the soyfet's
new economic policy was reyealed by
Kameneff, who declared Russia is on
the eve of national reorganization of
most sweeping character which will
include reinstallation of large part
of the capitalist machinery abolished
In the revolutions of 1917.
Kameneff, who was formerly Rus
sian trade representative in London
and is now one of the real powers in
the bolsheyik government, told in sim
pie English the story of Russia's real
! izatfon that communism could not be
attained at a single bound and of the
ment to reorganize completely Russia's
national and industrial life and to make
| way for capitalism.
A small man with a long flowing
brown beard. Kameneff is not the fiery
figure of Lenin. but he will exercise al
most equal power when the new regime
/ is in force.
| Private banking is to be restored In
| Russia, but on cooperative basis.

| of Russia will open within few days
| with a charter identical with that of
the Bank of France. 1t viii resemble
/ the national banks of the United
States. Free financial Intercourse with
foreign nations will be permitted"
The bolsheviki are ready, the cabinet
minister declared. to grant concessions
to American and other foreign capital,
lists for the exploitation of natural re-
sources of Russia, such as coal, wood,
and oil. They are prepared to discuss
with foreigners whose property was
confiscated in 1917, the question of in
demnity.
The new policy of the soviet. Kamen.
Il said, meant that the government Is
retaining the title TO land and build
ings and leasing property to private
firms the same as an ordinary land
lord.
"All restrictions upon private com
mercial and Industrial activity VIII hi
removed forthwith" Kameneff said
we realize now 1t has proved impos
sible to refashion society at one stroke
We never would have gone to such ex
tremes If it had not been that wal
