Three Men i'm Gang
Witnesses said that three men
were in the murder gang. The
third had been identified as man
known locally as 1.-The Big Turk

the search for the murderers OF
their mother and stepfather.
In the same room in which the
bodies OF the slain man and woman
lay, the dingy parlor of the Hance
farm house. twelve miles north of
Munice, the children told the au-

double staying.
Officers working on the case
gave eager attention to the in

Ever since Hance delivered
Chapman to justice last January

to the evidence upon which the
notorious bandit was sentenced to
death. Ben Hance and his wife

Wolf, of course, had been a
hanger-on of the Chapman-Ander-

But the Hances had not con-

against them, for he was a home

They had known him almost all
his life. When he was out OF
funds they had taken him into
their home and fed him.
For weeks Mns. Hance had cared
for his seven-year old son, Guy,
when the child had no place to go
and otherwise might have starved.
"Some day" Mrs. Hance once
told her children" the Big. Turk"

SOVIET RUSSIA MAINTAINS
AT WASHINGTON
fBy Tracey 5. McCrackenl

Two doors from the Washington
apartment in which the writer lives
is a large and impressive three
story house in which is quartered
the Russian bureau of information.
Uncle San not having seen fit to
recognize the Soviet government,
its delegation to this country is OBJ
.viously an unofficial one. But in
addition to ~endeavoring to teach
conservative America hat all Boil
shevikis are not uncouth individuals
born with an a~ntipathy for safety
razors, and hat the Red govern
ment is here to stay, the delegation
looks after as best it can in an I'M
official way, the interests of Rus
slams in this country.
The writer has become well ac-
quainted with the secretary of the
commission, an unusually bright fell
low. about forty, who speaks per-
feet English and has it his COM
mand a vocabulary quite as extern
sive as an average well informed
and well read business man. But
the thing that impresses us even
more is his unquestioned sincerity.
Personally. the writer has yet to
be convinced that a Red govern
ment and a prosperous nation can
be one and the same thing. Ger
tainly, Sovietism can never take the
place of democracy. But our ac-
quaintance with this earnest Rus
sian has at least removed from our
mind the conception we were wont
to share with so many others-that
all Bolshevists have horns and that
breakfast never tastes just right to
them unless they get up at dawn
and put a bullet through the head
of the first suspecting white-col-
Jared individual they meet.
This letter is no place in which
to count the progress our friend
since it ushered the late Scar Mich
olas II to an abode elsewhere at a
date earlier than he had anticipated.
Nor is it a place to set forth the
exceptions we have taken to many
of the theories of government ex-
pounded by our friend during our
very frank discussion. But the
foregoing and a few words more
about the delegations home can Of
fend no one.
AS above stated, the Washington
house of the Soviet commission is
on imposing one-nothing compar-
able with the palatial American en-
bassy of the late Cars departed
government. but nevertheless a very
fine house even for Washington.
The interior. though not exactly
luxuriously furnished. seems fitted
out quite as well, for instance, as
the Governors mansion at Cheyenne,
which by the way compares well
with the executive mansion of most
other states. Asked if the prole-
tariate of Russia sanctioned such
imposing quarters when something
cheaper and less p%retentious would
munistic government, the secretary
quickly replied, Certainly Our
people realize their representatives
to foreign countries must make a
showing hat reflects credit upon
Soviet Russia, and must live up to
the standards set and followed by
representatives of other countries.
Which surely indicates that the
sage-like philosophy of Andy Gump
has penetrated even the wilds of
Red Russia. For it was none other
than the peerless Andrew who said,
when in Rome burn Roman can
dies"
