Pittsburg, Pa, May 10 Over
looking Pittsburgh's great 100000
900 civic centre in the Oakland dis
trict is a full-fledged coal mine perch
ed high up on a hill. Nearly 100
years ago this mine was opened, and
today it is going full tilt, though a
nationwide miners strike is in pro-
gress
respects Here they mix smoke and
CRIME with almost everything. They
also mix the sublime with the low
brow stuff, too.

or a great technical school or a. great
Carnegie Institute down in the Oak

Hill this old mine just Keeps peggins

the city. Sure enough, it is an eye

has failed to get rid of the mine up
on the hill.
Strangers driving through the East
End and Oakland districts remark
about the structure standing on one
of the most conspicuous spots in the
city, but while the strangers gaze
with awe the little mine cars go rat
Ting down the incline from the tip
pIe above. And every time one of
those little cars descends the side
of the hill it rattIes few more dol

When the curious stranger points
out this strange sight the old-timers
quickly point to the beauties or

on an expIanation-more details.

Methods of cultivation are explained

New Russian
State Police
Grows Active

Samara, Russia, May 19-The State
Political Police. successor to the
"Cheka' is extremely active in
Samara province in arresting sup
posed political p1otters against the
Soviet regime but it is evident here
that the old system of secret trials
and concentrations has passed.
The turn to open trials for all Of
tenders showed itself here in re-
cent court scene where 40 persons,
men, women and boys, were tried to-
gether as bandits. Accused of muir
ders, highway robberies and burglar
les, many having been caught in the
act, these criminals a few months ago
doubtless would have been executed
without further hearing by the Cheka.
Interest in their trial was so great
that the biggest theater in Samara
was used as a court room. The pris-
oners, guarded by Red army soldiers,
were penned in the orchestra pit.
Each as his case was called, stood up
on what had been the raised place
for the orchestra leader and was ques-
toned by the judges.
The three judges, counsel for the
defense and prosecution and the court
clerks sat on the stage behind long
tables covered with red cloth. All of
the decorum of the old Russian court
system was observed. The spectators
occupying the auditorium of the thea
ter, had to rise and remove their hats
when the judges entered.
Soviet code were argued just as in an
American court and the time-honored
custom of citing precedents obtained.
AS there was no jury (the three judges
acting in place of one) the attorneys
addressed most of their remarks to
the audience.
The prisoners included about a
dozen women and four boys under
16. They We're a rough looking lot
The trial continued for more than
week.
Nine of the ringleaders, including
one boy of 16 who admitted he had
murdered two persons, were sentenced
to be shot Immediately. The others
including the women, were sentenced
to serve prison terms of from two to
five years in one of the old Gar pris-
ons in Siberia.
This was one of the first occasions
in the provinces when the Soviet
courts adopted this method so much
in vogue during the old regime.
