CHRISTMAS TO BRING
BUT LITTLE CANDY TO
CHILDREN IN RUSSIA
tBy The Associated Press.)

Petrograd, Nov. 7.-Christmas
will bring but little candy or 9TH
er sweets to Russian children. In
fact a great percentage of them
will not even have enough BILE ok
bread, much less ginger cookies
and chocolate eclairs.
Russia's suguar crop this year
amounted to only slightly more
than 200.Q00,000 pounds, for 120.-
100000 persons-less than two
pounds for each person. And the
importation of sugar is practical
ly nil.
These figures are from the Of
ficial reports of the government.
The Russian pound is only twelve
ounces, or one-fOurth less than the
American pound. Consequently the
sugar crop for this year is not
much in excess of 10000, 900
American pounds.
In pre-war days Russia used to
export about as much sugar as it
now produces, and its annual pro-
duction was over twenty times
what it is today. The population
was about 1S0,000.000 before Po-
land, Finland, the Baltic states,
Georgia, Armenia and parts Of 81
IBERIA were created into neW gov.
ernments. SO in pre-war days
there was per capita consump-
ton of over twenty Russian
pounds of sugar annually.

MRS. SOU 7 IA ID
HEARS SENTENCE
WITHOUT TREM0R
Ten Years to Life Imprison-
ment in the State Peni-
tentiary for Woman Con-
victed on Murder Charge.

Twin Falls, Idaho, Nov. Be
fore a crowded court room, LYDIA
Meyer Southard, convicted OF kill
ing Edward F. Meyer, her fourth
husband, and charged collaterally
with the murder of three previous
husbands and a brotherin-law, to-
day was sentenced to serve a term
Of from. ten years to life imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary.
The defendant stood up, fixed her
eyes upon the bench and received
the sentence without a tremor.
Notice of appeal was filed by her
attorneys but stay of execution of
sentence was not asked and it was
considered likely that a commit
ment would follow in a few days.
Mrs. Southard yesterday packed
up all her belongings about the
county Jail and, according to her
attorneys, has expressed a wish to
begin serving her sentence at once.
Under Idaho law, the duration of
indeterminate sentences Is largely
in the hands of the state pardon
board. Mrs. Southard may or may
not be given credit for good be-
havior. She may be released upon
serving her minimum term or she
may remain in prison for the pal
ance of her natural life. On the
other hand, action cutting the term
to less than ten years is within the
of the pardon board.
No action against Mrs. Southard
is contemplated in connection with
the deaths Of Edward or Robert G.
Dooley former husband and broth
law. respectively, according
to officials.

NEW YORK WILL.
VOTE To ELECT
A MAYOR TODAY
HyIan Is the Democratic
Standard Bearer While
Curran Is Backed BY Re-
pubIicans and CoalitioniSts
tBy The Associated PressJ

New York, Nov. 1.-THE ques-
tion to be answered by the ballots
in the city election November )
is whether the Tammany tiger
shall purr contentedly in city hail
for another four years, or whether
his would-be tanners, the republi-
cans and coalitionists will twist his
tail and drive him to the secIu-
sion of the wigwam in Fourteenth
street. 1t has agitated all New
Yorkers since early summer.
For the last few weeks the ears
of the voters have been lombard
ed with all sorts of campaign ar
guments by hundreds Of orators In
halls and on street corners. Sell
dom in the history of municipal
elections here has there been such
a flow of oratory, of charges and
counter charges.
William Travers Jerome, a re-
form district attorney who stirred
New York a number of years ago,
dramatically re-entered the polit-
ical arena recently as supporter
of the republican coalition cause.
He breathed fire into the cam
paign and bitterly denounced
Mayor Hylan and his administra-
tion.
The newspapers, in addition.
have printed column after column
of political news and the bewild-
cred voter faces the problem of
trying to dissect the mass of
claims and counter claims and cast
his vote intelligently.
The majority of the daily papers
in the greater city editorially ia
vor the candidacy of Maj. Henry
II. Curran. the republican coali-
tion contender for mayor. Mayor
John f. Hylan, candidate for re-
election on the Tammany ticket,
has his principal editorial backing
from the papers controlled by Will
liam r. Hearst. The conditions in
this respect are nearly identical
with those four years ago when
Hylan won a sweeping victory over
the late John Purroy Mitchell.
Political wiseacres figure that
the women. who will vote for the
first time In a mayoralty election,
hold the balance of power. Wom-
en- showed keen interest In the
primaries and registration and in
many districts, polled nearly as
many votes as the men. The total
registration is 1.268.364, about
100000 short of the record regis
tration In the last presidential cleo
ton.
The city is considered democrat
ic under normal conditions, ma
tional party lines generally beinS
discarded in municipal elections
AS usual, the rival managers pre-
dict victory. The Tammany chief
tains claim Mayor Hylan will be
elected by majorities running all
the way from 100000 up. The
claims of the republican-co coalition
lists. while made with equal conf
dence are more modest.
Although the socialists, prohibit
tionists, single takers, farmer-la-
borites and communists have tick
cts in the field. observers agree the
main fight will be between Hylan
and Curran. Socialist leaders pre-
dict the socialist vote will total

HARA SHADOWED

He WAS KILLED
Confession Of Assassin of
Japanese Premier Shows
That the Killing Had Long
Been Premeditated,
DAGGER HE USED WAS
BOUGHT LAST SUMMER
Assistant Station Master at
Toxic Also Has Been Ar
rested in Connection With
the Assassination,

Toxic, Nov. 7 (by the Associated
Press, 1.-THE confession of Ryichi
Nakoka, assassin of Premier Hara,
shows that the killing had long
been premeditated The censor
ship placed on details Of the at
tack and motives for the assassina-
ton was partially lifted today.
Nakoka had been shadowing the
premier, seeking chance to stab
him, whenever Mr.. Hara left the
station. He always met with fail
ure, however, owing to the strict
police guard. In his confession,
Nakoka says he purchased the
dagger he used last summer, and
that since then he had awaited the
right moment.
The most reliable newspapers
here say Nakoka had no accom-
plices.
Police have found, according to
the Nichi Nichi, that the assassin
had been inspired to commit the
deed through his interest in poll
tics and association with his super
ior, L. Hashimoto, the assistant
station master at the Otsuka rail-
way station, who also has been ar
rested. Hashimoto, it is alleged,
INDUCED in severe criticism of poll
cies of Premier Hara. Referring
in the presence of Nakoka to the
thrilling deeds of the so-calied po-
litical martyrs whose names were
sacred in the history of the Meiji
restoration Hashimoto is declared
to have expressed regret over the
disappearance of the Samurai and
to have declared that the youths
were cowardly and could not be
expected to commit hara kari.
but | shall be an exception
Nakoka is said to have exclaimed.
II shall commit hara kari" mean
ing the killing or Premier Hara.
On September 8, Nakoka pur-
chased a dagger. Since, he de-
clared he had studied the most eff
fective means of being able to use
it.
An extract from a note book of
Nakoka by the police is declared to
read;
September /: wait to see
when my name will be published
in prominence in all newspapers
Then in the note book followed
the addresses of the residence of
the premier.
According to the police, Nakoka
said: ....
1T was a great mistake for Hara
to remain in office, disregarding
public opinion. | know it was a
great crime for a young man, but
l have done it because l love my
country. / intended to commit
suicide on the spot and am sorry
/ failed"
The police say Nakoka wept as
he told his story.

The engineer and fireman at
first hesitated to comply with the
demands of the robbers who crept
over the tender into the cab, but
when pistols were thrust into their
faces, the trainmen complied and
escaped injury. In dynamiting the
safe the desperadoes set fire to
the interior of the steel mail car.
After the bandits had fled in a
