WHITE MAN SENTENCED
TO DEATH BY CHINESE
Korniloff, Noted Desperate, First
of Race to Get Extreme Pen
atty From Natives.

By the Associated Press
HARDIN. Manchuria, December l.
For the first time in history the Chi
nese courts have condemned q white
man to death. This sentence was the
result of the trial of the noted des-
perado korniloff, an educated Rus
sian of good family. who Is charged
with several murders and robberies
and to whom have been imputed a
variety Of exploits of motion picture
sensationalism.
One of these developed last spring.
when Korniloff. charged with a civil
offense, was brought into the same
coui thouse where he has just been
sentenced TO death. The outlaw
wearing rnanacles. stood with another
prisoner near a widow. a confederate
passed him two revolvers.
With these korniloff and his COM
panion defied the crowd. scaled a
wall and seized cab in the street
They escaped by a furious drive. ex-
changing shots with policemen
Months later the police. advised
that Kornilof was secreted in house
in the city, surrounded 1t. killed the
outlaws companion and the iatter's
wife, and captured Korniloff
In his trial Korniloff's counsel con-
tended the proposed punishment Of
death could not be inflicted because
the Chinese decree under which the
pr osecution sought TO have 1t applied
legged offense was committed and was
not retroactive.
The outlaw may appeal his case.
The courts finding is regarded as in
dicative of the lowered state of white
prestige here.

'The Palatinate in it's postwar
boundaries is approximately disk
described by a thirty-mile radius
using Kaiserslautern. its principal
town. as center. A pencil outline
Immediately that 1t lies between two
centers, the famous Saar
coal basin on the east, and Frankfort
on the west. Though these two CEN
ters alone are sufficient to make 1t
vital, strategically the Palatinate is
of added interest because 1t is on one
OF the chief routes between southern
and northern Europe.
"Kaiserslautern lies in the gap
down which the American Army was
charging after the battle of the Ar
gonne. 1t Is on the main railroad
route from. Metz through Saarbruck
TO Frankfort on the Rhine. To the
south of the Palatinate lies Alsace,
now French territory. Strasburg. lead
ing city OF this district. is sixty miles
Part of the famous Saar coal re-
gion used TO be within the Palatinate's
territory. but the Versailles treaty
changed that.
Papier-Mache Trade.
"Enshein, a small town of the Pa
latinate, Is said to have been a pioneer
in trade which. though old in the
east. Is relatively new In the west
ern world. This town was an early
center Of the papier- -mache trade.
which now is widely distributed In
many cities. Few people actually
recognize papier-mache when they
see II because it is apt to pop up In
the most unusual places. 1t may be a
dolls head. coach door, the cornice
OF building or a doctors model of
an arm. When II was first introduced d
into Europe 1t was used principally
for making snuffboxes. European
craftsmen followed the Persian and
japanese practice of making orna-
mental art (more or less) objects
from paper pulp soaked in glue or
OF the nineteenth century the Palat-
mate supplied snuffboxes for the
beaus of Paris. Vienna and Munich.
1t now takes old rags and paper and
toys, trays. statuettes and a thousand
other articles.
'In the Metz iron region, just over
the border from the Palatinate, Bis
marck's aides made great mistake.
After the defeat of France, in 1870, a

rlarck sent his experts to discover
the iron resources In the Vosges, then
only partially developed. They re-
ported. and the border line was drawn
to give Germany the iron A few
years after the treaty was concluded
more iron was discovered on the
French side of the line. Before the

Maryland was the palatinate OF

term is survival of feudal times. In
the days when a mans house was
actually his castle, which he had to

not anxious to assume responsibility.
Therefore they found it convenient TO
