pADEREWSKI PAYS FOR
HIS OWN PERFORMANCE
French Press Tells Story of How
Years Ago Great Musician Was
Expelled From Russia.

Paris, Aug. 3-Ignace Jan Pader-
ewski, the famous Polish pianist and
lcomposer, received one of the heart
Hest welcomes accorded him since his
ireturn to the concert stage when he
tappeared before Paris audience re-
Gently. Thousands of people throng-
ed to see him pass on his way to the
theater, and he was again besieged
when the concert, benefit affair, was
} concluded.
The French press retold at great
length the story of how the noted art
list was expelled from Russia years
ago by Emperor Alexander III, after
Paderewski had played before the
court.
you are great sstist, and an
honor to Russia" the emperor is re-
ported to have said.
Pardon, your Majesty" replied
Paderewski. ITO Poland"
The next day the pianist received
an order to leave Russia, and he had
never returned since.
The newspapers here also mention
ed the fact that on the day of his first
concert. Paderewski drove to the
theatre box office and purchased
nearly a hundred seats at regular
prices which he distributed among
his friends
His only request to the management
was that he be given a dressing room,
so that he could let his hands soak In
very hot water for half an hour be-
fore the concert. He explained that
he had found this the best way to
make them supple.

Collections in manufacturing CEN

advanced so cents per key, and horse
shoe nails were advanced rs cents per

RUSSIAN CRITICS
NO Longer THRILL
World Tired Of Tales About Real
Truth Of Russia

Riga, Aug. 1.--Latvia has ceased to
be the sole gateway to Russia for in
vestigators from all over the world
Berlin is now the chief diving board
for politicians, educators, concession
c11asers and relief workers who are
about to plunge into red Russia.
Many of them go by aeroplane. Some
travel from Berlin to Moscow by way
of Warsaw, and others enter through
Finland and Esthonia. But most Of
the foreign visitors emerge from Rus
sian through Riga. They are Brit
ish American and German, with a
sprinking of Italian, Czechs and Scan
dinavians.
Visitors coming out of Moscow in
breathless haste to tell the world "the
real truth" about Russia are much,
surprised, frequently. to find that
their hurried observations do not at
tract much attention. Since the begin
ming of international relief work in
famine stricken Russia there has
been such q large number of visitors
that 1t is no novelty for Riga to have
scores of passengers out of Russia in
single day, and diplomats and jour-
nalists are we'll stated with the nara
tives of enthusiasts who expect the
world to be surprised that they were
not killed.
1t Is no longer novel to hear that
the opera in Moscow is the most
wonderful in all the world; that the
soviet government is more securely
established than any in Europe;" that
Moscow ''is a safer place to be than
New York city," and that "illiteracy
has been stamped out in the red
army" The statement that perfect
1y clean sleeping cars are operated be-
tween Moscow and Petrograd and be-
tween Moscow and Riga" also has lost
its novelty.
Correspondents who have been lis
tening for two years to the tales of
visitors to Russia, who have spent a
few days in the great Russian cities,
know exactly what most of them will
say. If they disclosed their sympathy
with Bolshevism before they entered,
they generally come out with words
of high praise. If they were critical
before they went in they are general
ly more critical when they come out.
In other words, the week-enders in
Russia generally have their minds
made up before they go in, and their
statements on emerging are about as
monotonous as oft-repeated phono-
graph rolls.
or course, there are many visitors
to Russia who remain there for con-
siderable time and give, thought and |
study to the situation. These usually |
have little to say when they go in and
less when they come out. They gen.
orally are not in politics; they are not |
about to take the stump on the Rus
sian question, and they are not rush
ing into print with their views on
every phase of the Russian situation. |

morning by Samuel Pratt. The head
was severed from the body. which had
been thrown some distance by the
train.
Mcmillan worked Saturday at the
plant of the DUPONT company. It is
reported that he had been drinking of
late but had worked more or less reg
ularly. Last night he called at the
home of Deputy Sheriff Jordan and
stated. that he had been robbed. but
Mr.. Jordan after investigating was sat-
isfed that this was matter of imagi-
nation on the part of Mcmillan.
1t is thought that Mcmillan wan
dered onto the track during the night
and either became confused when the
train approached or was asleep on the
track. Mr.. Pratt, who discovered the
accident while walking along the track
about o'clock this morning. came
upon the head of the man and little
further on some change which had
fallen from his pocket. The body was
found some distance beyond.

MANY BILLS IN
HOUSE HOPPER

Washington. Dec. 3-The deadlock
IN the house over the speakership
dld not deter members, both old and
new, from dumping hundreds of bills
today into the legislative hopper.
The measures must remain there,
however. until the house is organ
lied and their reference to commits
tees is possible.
A number of the bills embodied
new ideas in legislation but a ma
Jorlty were a revival Of proposals
which failed to receive attention in
the last congress. In the latter class
were the anti-lynching bill of Rep
resentative Dyer. Republican,, Mis-
souri,, the Blue sky bill of Repre-
sentative Dennison, Republican, H.
linois. and various proposals for a
soldiers bonus. including that Of
representative Hill. Republican,
Maryland, to finance the payment
with a tax on light wines and beer.
Representative Treadway, Repub-
lican, Massachusetts, offered a meas
use for establishment in the Inter-
state Commerce Commission Of an
anthracite bureau at which all per-
sons engaged in the industry would
be required to register and where
authority over shipments of coal and
quality of anthracite entering into
Interstate commerce would rest.
Several bills dealing with immigra =
ton were tossed into the hopper.
Chief among these was that Of Chair
man Johnson, Of the immigration
committee. for a Tightening of re-
strictions. He also proposed that
aliens convicted of violating the
narcotic and prohibition laws be de-
ported. Representative Griffen,
Democrat. New York, proposed ad-

Auto Thieves Steal $780,
{ 100000 in Cars in 1922.

0NE DARK night last year q
~ small auto truck was driven in
to the alley behind the Philadelphia
branch of the largest manufacturer
OF automobile ignition locks in the
country. There was quick manip
ulation Of keys, handled expertly
and a back door Of the establish
ment was open. A large folded
sheet Of cardboard was handed from
the car, and taken inside.
The cardboard, when unfolded
was an exact reproduction OF the
safe which stood under lights ir
plain view Of the front window. I,
was but the work of seconds to sci
1t up as screen in front Of the safe
and a safe cracker went to work or
the com bination in comparative Sc
curity from interruption. In the
meantime his companions unbolted
a machine weighing hundreds Of
pounds from its moorings in the
dark recesses at the back Of the
shop. and carried 1t to their truck.
There was an almost unnoticeable
explosion as the safe, which had
proved stubborn, was blown: hasty
sorting Of its contents: and the
cracksman. disregarding apparent
valuables, carried q heavy volume
out to the car, which was driven
rapidly away.
Thus was perpetrated one Of the
most daring and disturbing robber-
ies in the history OF American crime.
Missing a Rich Haul
It was aimed at no petty loot.
such as two or three million dollars
in bonds or currency. It was intend.
ed to place at the mercy Of the GRIM
inal element Of the country automo.
biles with a value Of hundreds Of
millions of dollars.
The machine stolen was one OF q
half dozen in the United States used
in making keys to the ignition locks
on so per cent Of the high grade au.
tomobiles manufactured. The book
sought in the safe contained the
code letters and numbers OF each Of
these locks. Simply by looking at
the number on the lock of any of
these cars, and tracing down that
number in the code book, keys du-
plicating the owners could be man.
ufactured.
Possession Of these keys would
not only make the actual stealing Of
these cars more simple, but would
aid the organized bands Of thieves
greatly in 'disposing of stolen cars
without suspicion.
The whole ingenious plot, to
which the best brains OF the crimi-
nal profession had evidently been
