charge OF having the liquor unlaw-

the clubs accepting responsibility and
paying fines OF $500 each. At the
time OF the raids, the prohibition
agents obtained the names of indi-

to proceed against them individually.

was expected to furnish names prom

van, United states attorney, who
would direct the prosecution, was q
member of both clubs The clubs

1 ting redolent of the art of the Rus sia in bygone days.
 The stones themselves are of a size and purity that at once com mand attention. Many of them are of tradition significance and have been handed down from generation to generation in the families which now must part with them. Due to the circumstances a num- Der of the families prefer to have their names withheld but the jewels speak for themselves. According to the captains plans, there will be no restriction regarding the purchaser, but the disposal will be entirely a private matter.
 On account of the great value of the gems special arrangements are being made to guard against possible theft. They will be kept in a number of vaults in the large cities of the Atlantic seaboard and only shown to prospective purchasers under the Watchful eyes of the bank guards.
 To collectors of stones a number of unset gems in the various cCnsign- ments will provide an interesting hunting ground, as well as to those who do not care for the Russian manner of mounting. The supply of jewels in prospect is so large that Captain Dubassoff estimates it will take years to dispose of them, if a restoration of the monarchy does not take place in the meantime.
 Victim of Reds"
 The captain himself is a survivor of experiences during the last hectic days of the imperial regime that would satisfy the most adventurous Coming to this country as a member of a delegation from the first pro- visional government, he returned to Siberia to fight under Admiral Kol- chak and barely escaped with his Fife when the BOlshevist hordes beat down the stubborn resistance of the White force.
 In the World War. before the revo- lution, he served with his regiment on the Prussian front and took part in a number of brilliant cavalry ac- tions.
 If the captains plans materialize, as there is every indication they will, the sale of the jewels of the old families of imperial Russia in this country will mean in many in stances a brighter outlook on life for those families not wiped out by the Bolshevist revolt.

NEW GOLD DEPOSITS
 FOUND IN GERMANY

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-HOpes of sub- stantial additions to Germany's sup ply of gold have been aroused among German matalIurgists and financiers by reports of the discovery, in Wal deck, of gold-bearing clay deposits with a high content of precious metal
 The newly discovered deposits as say not less than A gr9mmes of gold to the metric ton. Mining Op- erations can be profitably conducted according to German metallurgists, on the basis of a gold yield of only ten ounces to the ton.

TO ELIMINATE MIDDLEMAN
 IN SELLING R0MAN0FF GEMS

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-Millions
 of dollars worth of jewels and rare
 art treasures of Imperial Russia,
 which hitherto have come to the
 United States only after passing
 through many hands, will shortly be
 available by direct sale to well-to-
 do persons of this country, if plans
 of Captain Dmitri Dubassoff, formerly
 of the First Cavalry Regiment of the
 Czars guard, materialize.
 Captain Dubassoff, son of Admiral
 Dubassoff, of the Russian Navy under ; the imperial regime, after consider able correspondence with Russian noble families stranded in the Euro pean capitals, has conceived the idea of making the sale of their jewels strictly a family affair." thereby obviating the embarrassment and in i convenience experienced heretofore, To Aid Friends
 The captain, who is twenty-nine, is undertaking the relief of the for ! mer members of the Russian court circle as a matter of friendship. Per sonally he holds a responsible posi- tion with the Baldwin Locomotive Works in this city, where he is eX- trnr " wit O IC
 The new method by which famous Russian gems will be placed on the American market eliminates the old route whereby unfortunate Russian noblemen were compelled to resort to the pawnbrokers of Paris and London in order to live.
 Instead, the jewels will be forward ed to America for disposal at prices slightly higher than those obtained for them in Europe, but far below those asked for them here under the prevailing system. The result of Captain Dubassoff's plan will mean an economic independence for Rus sian noble families ill Europe that will free them from the humiliation they have been forced to undergo by pressure of circumstances and per init them to restore their shattered fortunes in a manner more in keep ing with their former position.
 Jewels En Route
 Already a number of marvellous gems are on their way across the Atlantic to the captain. Among those which have arrived so far are a ! bracelet of matched rubies set in
 platinum of exquisite workmanship
 and a cluster of matched eneralds and pearls, in a heavy platinum set

ENGLAND AMUSED
 BY KU KLUX KHAN

LONDON, Feb. 1. - They just re- fuse to take the Ku KluX Klan ser iously in England. In fact, it has become a common vaudeville joke.
 It might have been thought that the threat of Edward Young Clark to come across and invade the coun- try where liquor is common and comparatively cheap - might have aroused some apprehensiOns, Not a bit. The garb of the Ku Klux Klan became the favorite costume of fancy dress balls, and the street urchins are doing their best to initiate it with the aid of old newspapers, by marching down the Strand and Pica- dilly and holding solemn conclaves by the wayside.
 A venerable looking official of Whitehall was asked what would happen if the Ku KluX Klan made serious attempt to come to Eng land. we should insist that their passports be vised,' was his reply, "In a climate like this anything likely to make us laugh is to be welcomed. Let 'em all come"
 Even Scotland Yard could not be serious. "Wouldn't it amuse the un- employed?" was the comment, "It would save us a lot of trouble. How many can they afford to send?"
 Private citizens are no more az grieved or upset. So if the Ku KluX Klan likes to come to England in big battalions it can be guaranteed the free use either of Trafalgar Square or Hyde Park. There will be ample free hospitality, and all necessary facilities will be gladly accorded.
