cANNIBALISM IN RUSSIA.
Baltimore Woman Tells of Starvation
In the Land of Lenine.


In the Land of Lenine. 4.,
Today listened to all but an in
credible story of white cannibalism,
writes Winnifred Van Dusen, New
York newspaper woman.
Surrounded by the ultra modern
civilization of a Fifth avenue hotel,
with human development expressed IN
terms of steam radiators, electric push
buttons, permanent waves, 1 heard her
gentle voice pick out the story like a
fantastic thread from warp and woof
of the year just past. ~
. 1t was about a mother, young
peasant woman of Russia, who, driven
frantic by hunger and privation, FEAST
ed upon her two little children.
And this incident, which might have
been lifted from the annals Of the
stone age, is only ore of many in the
famine stricken districts Of the one
time country of the czars, according to
the reluctant belief of my informant.
She is Marguerite Z. Harrison oil
Baltimore who has come to New York
to deliver a course Of lectures upon
her remarkable experiences in Russia,
which country she entered without a
passport for stay of eighteen months.
Mrs. Harrison's book, "Marooned In
Moscow" just published tells the sto-
ry of her ten months Imprisonment in
the "Checka" of the ancient city. Up
on her release she was at once put
aboard ship by officers of the Soviet
government for America with the
warning not to return.
Despite the warning she is making
preparations to visit Moscow upon
completion OF her work here.
Insanity Blamed. -
1t was in the "Checka" that Mrs.
Harrison met the woman who had
maintained her own life by sacrificing
those of her babies. She explained:
"Of course the woman had no reali=
zation of what she had done. She
came from Tambov, one of the dis
tricts where the peasants had no food
and little hope of obtaining any, as
the railroado are in such condition that
it is almost impossible to transport re-
lief supplies sent into the country
"The peasants cannot raise food
furthermore, because they have no ag-
ricultural implements and owing to
lack of fuel and raw materials the
factories have gone to pieces and are
not making any.
"The woman's story was heart
breaking while it was revolving, She
had gone insane from lack of food and
the simplest comforts Of living and the
horror followed.

TO REFUND FOREIGN DEBT
Senate Passes Bill SO to IS, Democrat
Opposed.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The bill au-
thorizing the refunding Of the eleven
billion dollar foreign debt into securi-
ties maturing in not more than %
years was passed tonight by the
senate.
The vote was SO to %. Final enact
ment of the measure must await ad-
justment Of differences between the
house and senate, which is expected
within a week or ten days.
Three Republicans-Borah, LaFol-
lette and Norris-jOined with the solid
Democratic minority in opposing the
bill.
Under the terms of the bill a COM
mission of five members, headed by
the secretary of the treasury, would
have authority, subject to the ap-
proval of the president, to refund or
convert and 70 extend the time of pay
ment of the principal or the interest,
or both, of the foreign debt.
The date of the maturity of the OBJ
legations accepted by the commission
could not extend beyond June IA, 1947,
and the interest rate could not be less
than IA per cent. Bonds of one
foreign government could not be ac-
cepted for those of arother nor could
any part of the foreign Indebtedness be
cancelled.
The life of the commission would be
three years from the date of the ap-
proval of the act and the members
other than the secretary of the treas
ury would be appointed by the presi-
dent subject to confirmation by the
senate. During its life the commission
would be required to make annual re.
ports to congress at the beginning OF
each regular session in December.
Only members of the cabinet and o.
congress will be appointed on the deb
commission, according to Senator Wat.
son, Republican. Indiana, who told the
senate during debate today, that, al.
though he was not authorized by Tho
president to make such an announce
ment, he nevertheless knew that thi!
was the presidents intention.
Aside from the section proposing
that interest on the refunded debt b,
not less than 4 IA per cent, whicl

Fort Mil Times.
Half OF the constitutional O-day
session of the general assembly ended

to the governor for his approval. Tine
gasoline tax bill, held over in the SEN
ate from the 1921. session. is yet to
pass that body and it now begins TO
look as if the measure will be materi-
ally amended before it finds way into
the statutes. The house bill proposes
a tax of 2 cents gallon on u gasoline
which the consumer would have to pay
as he would also have to pay the cent
a gallon proposed on kerosene. An ell
fort is being, made in the senate TO re-
duce the gasoline tax to cent gallon
and to eliminate entirely the proposed
tax on kerosene. Catch the joy riders
seems to be the principal argument OF
>the house friends Of the tax on gaso-
line. They lose sight of the fact that
not one gallon in ten of the gasoline
consumed in South Carolina is burned
by joyriders.

For once at least in the history OF
South Carolina legislation, the senate
is acting more wisely than the house
in it's refusal to allow important meas
ures hastily put through the lower
body to pass without giving them the
consideration their wide reaching et-
feet warrants. None of the new source
of revenue" bills passed by the house
at the present session has yet come up
for discussion in the senate, but Wnen
they do reach the talking stage on the
floor of that body it is certain many
faults will be found with them and that
it will take more than the recon-
nnendation Of the Michigan experts
to convince the senate, that they are
what this state needs. Two of these
measures, the moving picture license
bill and the income tax bill, may be
expected to produce much discussion
and it is not unlikely that there will be
changes in both bsfore the Senate gives
them its stamp of approval.
