LEVINE LIKES ID JOKE AMERICANS Tells Christensen He and MT. Cox Are the "AISo
 Candidates"
nxAssoeiatsd Prnsn

Riga, January 7.--Nikolai Lsnine, the Russian premier, likes not only to display his knowledge of Ameri- can affairs but to joke American vis- itors about them, says Farley c. Christensen of Chicago. the farmer labor party's candidate for President last year. Mir. Christensen had two interviews with Lenine while in Mos COW for a month
 When the American entered Le- hines office in the Kremlin and started to identify himself, Lenine interrupted him. Christensen said.
 "Oh. know about you. You and Mr. Cox were the also candidates "
 Mir. Christensen, at Lenines re- quest, posed with him for moving pie lures in the street in front of the Kremlin. where 8 great crowd soon gathered.
 You don't seem to be 6 bit afraid of assassination" Mir. Christensen re- marked.
 .sNo, not 6 bit." Lenine replied.
 One of the commissars who was with them jokingly explained that Lenine already has two bullets in him. adding: "Trotzky says the old man has plenty of metal in his back bone. anyway"

Westerners Prefer
 Old 1878 Model of
 the Siluer Dollar
Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald


 Denver, January 7.-Westerners think well of the almighty dollar but they prefer the old 1878 model. Not a single old time pioneer of the west here, who saw and fingered the new silver peace dollar which arrived here from the Philadelphia mint, but expressed disapprobation of the new design both as a detri- ment to commerce and as possible check to an art developed to its highest point in the early camps of the west.
 For old timers declare 1t is inn possible to stack the peace dollars securely or to rifle them rapidly. Old time bankers. business men and gamblers here took pride in their ability to plunge either or both hands into a heap of loose dollars and draw them like magic into even stacks of twenty. It is mark or the pioneer to be able to take two stacks of 20 and shuffle them into one shining cylinder with one hand. But the new coins have projections on face and hack which tend to send them toppling when placed one on top of another.
 "In the old days one banker here declared today. when the faro bank and the dance hall were rec ognized part of the social life or the west. what rolled to the floor went to the sweeper. The new dollars would make that an expensive cus- tom in these hard times.

JUGOSLAV|A HAS 4O,OO0 RUSSIANS
 WITHIN BORDERS
Government Put to Heavy Ex- penSe to Support the Vast Legion of
 Refugees
By Associated Press

Temisvar, Jugo- Slavia, January 7,-While other nations of Europe are closing their doors to the indigent Russian refugee. hospitable Jugo- Slavla has received 10000 of them within her borders during the last two years. Most of these have come from Odessa, Novorossisk, SebastopoI and other parts of the Crimea.
 The shelter and support of this vast legion of fugitives entails heavy expense upon the Jugo-Slav govern ment The largest item of expense is the maintenance of 10000 of General Wrangefs disbanded army.
 By arrangement with the French government. Jugo-Slavia received these men on condition that the ex- pense of keeping them would be defrayed by the French government. Up to the present, however, the Serbs assert, the French have de- faulted in their agreement, and the entire cost of the upkeep of the men falls upon the Jugo- -Slav government.
 Of the 10000 refugees, 10000 are men, II ,000 women and 5000 children. The majority of them are segregated in industrial colonies located on the fertile and sunny plains of northern Jugo-Slavia. In addition to the thousands cldSSeQ as ordinary reI- ugees, there are some 6,000 men who were brought to Serbia to work on railway and building operations.
 There is also group of 3,000 of the former Russian volunteer army who are employed by the Jugo-Slav gov ernment as frontier guards These men are rendering excellent service.
 For the purposes of administration the Russians are divided into 33 col onies, each with it's elected govern ment board and delegates to the cen tral board. The commis ssion for Rus sian refugees organized by the Jugo- Slav ministry of foreign affairs ex- ercises state control over the col- onies, but each colony has it's own autonomous government. continu- ous effort is made to maintain the Russian national traditions.
 Community life Is so complete among the refugees that the collec- tive colonies with their thousands of inhabitants have been likened to "a state within state."
 Perhaps in no other land to which Russia's scattered population has fled for -succor and shelter are the refu- gees so content and well off as here. The Serbians are not prone to for get that in their own day of strife, struggle and stress. 1t was these whom they are helping today that de- tended them and gained for them their liberation.

NATIONS MAY BE
 GROUPED IN HUGE \ ELECTRIC SYSTEM
Huge High-PoWer Transmits sion Systems Among Prob lens at International
 Electrical Conference
By Associated Press

Paris, January 7.-The linking of groups of the principal countries of the world into huge hlgh-power transmission systems from which electric energy sufficient to provide s large portion of commercial and transport needs could be taken Is one of the problems which the Interna- uond Electrical conference in Paris had under discussion.
 The meeting brought together delegates from 12 countries, inelud- tug the United States and Canada.
 Electricity as a means of moving trains, ocean steamships and turning the wheels of industry is about to come into its own. according to the delegates and the only thing that prevents tremendous developments h electric energy is the present high cost of materials and the expense at tached to changing from steam and other methods to electricity.
 Nations had enough potential cleo trioal energy in their waterways to eventually abandon the use of coal, experts at the conference said, but only government financing could pro vide sufficient funds to harness this dormant power.
 The American delegates surprised shs European experts when they out lined the extent to which electricity xs made to work for the American people. The invasion of the Ameri- can home by such labor-saving de- vices as electric stoves, dishwashers, irons. eto.. amazed many of the dele- gates who represent countries where as yet electricity has not figured in the home except in supplying light.
 The conference studied methods for the standardization of equipment necessary in connecting the various high-power transmission systems. With such an international power arrangement as suggested France may in the near future supply cleo tricai energy to the Balkan States and points as distant AS Poland and Russia.
 The delegates were surprised at the progress made in electrical devel- opment in France since 1918. The use of French rivers in generating cleo trfcal energy will eventually place France second to none in the manu- facture of electricity in he opinion of the delegates

MOP[AH OUTRAGES
 NOT YET AbATED
Roads Torn Up, Bridges De- stroyed and Men, Women
 and Children Slain
By Associated Press

Calicut, indian. January 7.-De- spite the declaration of British mar tial law, the outrages of the Moplah uprising, which began the last week in August. still continue. The fair land of Malabar has been rendered desolate; railroads have been torn up; bridges destroyed; public and private buildings burned; govern ment treasuries and private houses footed. Men, women and children have been slain and wholesale con versions have been made at the point of the bayonet.
 The district magistrate has issued the following communique: "Infor- nation has been received that many forced conversions to Islam are being made in the eastern Amsoms of Cali cut. and that Mathumana Illom in Puthur Amsom is one of the places where such conversions are being made on a large scale.
 "A refugee states that he saw 2e Hindu shaven in Moplah fashion like himself and made to chant some verses. There are also about 20 women and children shut up in Illom Women are also made to repeat verses, and are made to wear Moplah costumes.
 'The following statement, recorded from Pilathottathil Kelappan, who escaped with many wounds, shows the fate of those who refuse to em- brace Islam: Two wounds on the back of my neck were inflicted with a sword last noon by a Moplah These wounds were given to me n the Jungle near Illom. Several Mop lahs were present with the man who cut my neck. About 50 persons have been beheaded and thrown into a them. I caught hold of a creep }. there. and got up. and slowly came here. Hindus are beheaded thus be- cause they refuse to become Mussal- mans"
 Mahatma K. Gandhi, Indian nation alist leader and non participation ad- vocate, refers n Young Inda to the Moplah outrages, saying: The Mus salmans must naturally feel the shame and humiliation of the Moplah conduct about forcible conversions and footing, and they must work away so silently and effectively that such things might become impossible even on the part of the most fanati- cal among them. My belief is that the Hindus as body have received the Moplah madness with equanimity, and that the cultured Mussalmans arc sincerely sorry for the Moplahs per version of the teachings of the prophet"

44OCEAN-CROSS|NG" A|RPLANE: ORDERED
 BY AMERICAN FIRM
Famous French Flyer Pre- diets Frequent Trips Across Atlantic Within Next
 Few Years
By Associated Press

Paris, January 7.-An American firm has just ordered an airplane of the type described by Louis BreuEet. famous French flyer and constructor as "an ocean-crossing plane" M Breuget recently predicted that these airplanes will be making frequent trips across the Atlantic within two or three years. They are now un- der construction.
 They are expected to be able to fly 24 hours without stopping, at a speed of 1S0 miles an hour, and to carry 20 or 30 passengers with bag gage. This would bring the two con tfnents within a days travel of each other.
 The planes are being planned with huge wings, six feet thick, the in- terior of which will be used for cab ins. As described by M. Breuget, their total weight will be 155 tons, their wing-spread 375 feet, and they will have 24 motors of 300 horse power each.
 It was contemplation of this big advance that led M. Breuget to sug- gest the possibility that an airplane eventually will be able to go around the world in one flight
 There is no reason why an air plane could not make the circuit of the world without stop, if we pur- sued the formula as to weight-lifting and speed and if greater room can be found for fuel, say 70 per cent of the total lifting power" he said.
 Such a plane would travel at a speed of 750 miles 3n hour, but this speed would be impossible unless an average height of 42.000 feet could he maintained. At such height the atmosphere has one-fifth of its ordi- nary density.
 "The vista spread out by such a possibility Is amazing Man could fly around the earth faster than the earth's movement. He could, so to speak, catch up with the sun. New York would be only six hours from Europe.
 Again. in the case of war, what would be the use of big fleets if they were faced with huge 100 and 200- ton aerial torpedo planes? The na- vies of the world will then be relics of the past. fit only for place in a museum next, let us say. to man. moths.
 People laugh at these predictions concluded NJ Breuget, but so did people in 1S40, when steam naviga- ton was introduced"

HIGH RECORD IN HOMICIDES
Springfi6ld Republican.

Springfield Republican.
The homicide rate in % American
cities, with population of 20 II
millions, was 9.3 per 100000 in 1921,
according to figures complied for the
New York insurance journal, the
Spectator. This rate compares with
a rate of S.5 both in the previous
year and in the five-year period end
ing with 1920. 1t is the highest
rate in any year for which data are
available. The previous high mark,
81, was reached in 1916. The rate
in 1900 was 81 The gain which
was made since the abnormal times
following the World war has been
lost.
In II of the 2S cities there has
been some progress. Hartford reaches
the place of merit by decline in rate
from 40 in the previous five-year
period to IA. Boston is in third place
--next to Milwaukee, which has rs
maincd statlonary-with a decline
from AS II 81. The rate in Memphis
has fallen from 500 to SOS, with
which still enormous figures that city
maintains its record as far the worst
of them all. Nashville, in the same
state, regains the second place iii
dishonor with jump from rate Of
21.2 to one of 351. slightly under the
figures for 1911-1915.
st. Louis takes third place with a
lump from 1853 to 17.2. In 1911-1915
it's rate was 14.3. New York. which
in 1920 showed progress, has increa3-
cd its rate from 5 in the five-yea,
period ending with that year to 6.2.
Chcago's rate-prOgressivaly advanc-
ing, like that of st. Louis-went froal
10.1 to lis.
The striking contrast between South
and North generally and betwee.,
Chicago and ST. Louis or the one hand
and New York and Boston on the other
again marks the exhibit. What is the
explanation? In the South large
proportion of the victims Of homicide
are Negroes, but the fact leaves much
TO be explained. In Chicago, which
like New York, has an enormous alien
population, lawlessness has long
taken no specially violent forms. But
what is the reason?
There. is evidently a fruitful field
here for comparative study of great
value. DR.. Friedrich l.. Hoffman, aI-
thor of the Spectators article, urge,
the preventive measures Of control
of the sale of dangerous weapons and
poisonous substances, points to the
failure of the law promptly to discove:
and punish offenders as encouraging
to criminals and suggests that moving
pictures and sensational stories of
rhine bring in and coach recruits to
the ranks. These are pertinent COM
ments but, as DR.. Hoffman also OBJ
serves, the situation calls for a
thoroughgoing inquiry and an ag-
gressive determination to effect a
