archbishop who last week Was the guest Of this city, became t prison mate of Mr. JurjeWicz. Both. in common with thousands ol others who had also owned property or money, were suffering untold tor lures within tho prison walls,
 shortly after his arrival there, Mr. Juriewicz was brought before EolsheNk tribunal, He was pre- aeuted before two dignitaries of the government Gatkin and krylenko and was tried with mock ceremony and was condemned to death be- cause he belonged 10 tho ariSticracy. lnterocasiou from various sources availed him nothing and in despair he prepared to dio as thousands of others were doins every day.
 Day by day from the narrow slit in his dungeon which served as A window, he could see and hear the shots which sent innoccn. victims To their death, condemned on one prctcNL pr another He states that the ire and anger of the Russians were directed more towards the Polish and their motto was 10 all those who Were possessed of wealth: Show them no mercy because they have shown us no mercy" This inscription Was painted on all the walls.
 After two months in the St. Petersburg prison, Jurjewicz waiting for the cXocutioner's sign, one day was summoned forth. He with hundreds Of others was placed in an ordinary cart and these were drawn through the streets passing through lanes of jcerlng and insulting hordcs ot people.
 They passed the confines of tho city and continued on their way little knowing or little caring where they were to meet their death. But the time had not come. Instead they were transferred 10 another prison in Moscow where another dungeon like the one in St. Peters burg but much worse in filth, awaited them.
 Again Sentenced to Death
 Here JurJeWicz remained six or seven months suffering blows and prods of bayonets on every little preteXt. It was the Bolsheviks' day and they were enjoying it by spilling blood. The executions con tinued every day here. Then Jur- iewski was sentenced 10 another prison in Harkow and again he was

 Mir. Jurjewicz says that he loves the American people. Since hls stay here, he has been in all parts of the couniry, He finds the people of this country in all cases polite and friendly, and he says that the free dom of the government is a free dom such as no other country in the world knows. He likcns conditions here 10 those which must exist in Paradise, and says it Is a veritablo paradise for him 10 stay in a coun- try where there is no fear of blood thirsty soldiers seeking his blood.

 But turn Of fate aguin placed him among thousands of prisoners who were to be again transferred. Jurjcwica was placed aboard n ship called Alnot2, They learned that their destination was to he Odessa, While in the Black Scu, the bolshe- vik sailors and soldiers threw 2,000 people into tho sea where they drowned. These suffered their fate for look, movement or for any other slight preteXt that could be devised 10 he rid of them.
 Friends, however were at work, and through q secret method the gates of freedom were at last open to JurjewiCz and he seized upon the opportunity. With the aid of com punions, Jurjewicz stole away from the prison ship in the dead of the night and for 49 days he made his way over 500 miles of country to the Russian Poland border. He f. nally landed in the town of Kiiowa, Poland. where friendly hands cared for him.
 Massacre on all sides marks the history of the bolshcviks in Russia and Poland since their ascendancy into power, and the victims of the assassins' bullets, Mr JurjcwicZ says, were the holders of property in any form. The poor people were not molscted except 10 be placed nnder the iron heel of the reds"
 G1,000 Mastered
 Mir. Juricwicz states that in Odes- sa and Kijowa alone, 67,000 men, women and children were massacred |by bolshevik swords and guns. These included the families of all i property owners and no mercy was shown to any. In St. Petersburg and Moscow, 15n,000 people suffer- cd the same fate and a more frightful page of history has never been written. Bodies of friends and rotting carcasses were allowed 10 lie in the streets and no one dared to attempt 10 give any of them a de- cent burial. Sometime" ir the dead of the night, friends and relatives were able to steal the body of a father. brother, sister or child away from the carnage. Heads were split open. throats were cut, bodies were dismombcrod and tortures as

 Then, because he had been a property owner, and for no other reason, he was condemned 10 die. Protestations availed him nothing because the "red" soldiers were masters and a word meant the prod Of a bayonet to enforce silence. Mir. Jurjewicz was taken to St, Peters burg and was cast into prison.
 There he was thrown into a dun geon Of the worst sort, where scurvy was rife and the only ex- planation for the treatment was that he must die because he be- longed 10 the aristocracy which de- fled the Bolshevik principle that no man could own more than another.

LICHTNIN WILL
Be PRODUCED IN
CITY SATURDAY

Exactly as it enthral1ed Broadway
audiences for three years and packed
the. Blackstone theater, Chicago, for
two years. 'Lightnin will be pre-
sented at the Grand Treater here Sat
urday, January 9.
John Golden has included this city
in the route of a special all-star cast
headed by Mrs. Frank Bacon, wife of
Frank Bacon, author and creator of
the title part; Thomas Jefferson, son
of Joseph Jefferson, which has i'm
troduced the record-smasher to San
Francisco, Los Angeles and other inn
portant cities. Bessie Bacon, daught-
er Of Frank Bacon, is also prominent
in the organization. Others are Frank
Thornton, Felix Haney, Jack Marvin,
Marguerite Miller, Robt. Lowe, Myles
Mccarthy, James Worsley, Ethan AL
len, Nellie Keller, VIM. Wagner Gene
We've Lyle and other favorites.
The prologue and three acts of
sLightnin' hold the unbroken inter~
est Of the audience with succession
Of tense scenes, followed by imime-
date relief in comedy, which at
times becomes hilarious. The whim-
sicalities and drolleries of Lightnin'
Bill Jones, perversely nicknamed be-
cause OF his laziness, stir memories
Of the elder Jefferson's Rip Van
Wrinkle.
The dramatic action is furnished by
a land swindle on the border line
between California and Nevada The
humor, which over-fbalances the more
serious side of the play, finds its
source in an hotel which Lightnin'
Bill and his wife have established
on the state line running through the
center of the lobby. The place finds
immediate favor with Reno divorce
candidates who are thus able to tell
their friends that they are sojourn-
ing in California and at the same
time establish Nevada residence.
The plays famous courtroom scene
in the second act, wherein the land
sharks are thwarted and Lightnin'
Bill comes from the Soldiers Home
to act as his own attorney in his dl-
yorce suit, is recorded in the annals
of Broadway as the most delightful
blending of humor and pathos that
the American stage has known. 1t
even excels the brisk passages of the
earlier Winchell Smith classic, Turn
to the Right" in sparkle and spon-
taneous fun.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
S165,0DQ,0(O BILL
Public Buildings Measure
Provides $4,000, 1000
Yearly for Washington.

President Coolidge today signed the
public buildings bill, creating a five
year program for the erection of build
ings to house the Federal Government
In the District Of Columbia and other
parts of the United States and author
izing an appropriation of $165 5.000, 900
OF this total amount. $50, 0,00O, 900. is
to be expended for the erection oi
Government buildings in this city. Ac
cording to the program $4,000 900 is
to be spent annually in this city and
$20,000,000 for buildings outside of the
District OF Columbia.
This is the first general public
buildings bill enacted by Congress
since 1913 and, although it did not
entirely fit in with the Presidents e
economy program and desire to re-
trench the Government expenses. he
was convinced that the expenditure is
necessary to furnish more adequate
quarters for the increased activities
of the Federal Government. The term
, pork barrel" which has been gen.
orally applied to the public buildings
bill has been dropped in this instance
inasmuch as the so-called pork bar
rel" feature has been entirely elimf-
mated.
The Secretary of the Treasury
under the terms of this law, will Sc
lect the site and design and erect the
buildings and in the cases where there
are buildings for the Post Office De-
partment he will be assisted in this
by the Postmaster General
The new buildings for the Govern
ment to be erected in this city are
not to be merely places to house the
many thousands of clerks. but will be
handsome in architecture and will
compare in beauty and in practicable
ity with the finest Government build
ings throughout the world. These
buildings for the greater part will be
confined to that section known as the
Mall, south Of Pennsylvania avenue
and east Of Fifteenth street, property
already owned by the Government
Among the buildings to be first con
sidered are an archives building, in
ternal revenue. State Department
Commerce Department, Labor Depart
ment and Department Of Justice. The
designs Of these buildings are to be
approved by the Fine Arts Commits
sion.

URGES Retirement
BILL CONFERENCE
Representative Lehlbach confers
With Stanfeld on Session to
Reconcile Differences.

Chairman Lehlbach of the House
civil service committee expects late
this afternoon to ask unanimous con
sent that the House send the so-called
liberalized civil service retirement bill
to conference.
Mr.. Lehlbach conferred today with
Senator Stanfield. author of the meas
ure which has passed the Senate, car
rying a maximum annuity OF Sl,2oO,
with per cent contributions from
their regular salary by employees, as
against the 1000 maximum. with a
80 per cent contribution by employees,
proposed in the Budget Bureau bill
passed by the House.
Compromise proposals to increase
the maximum annuity TO 81 1,0SO. with
a DER cent contribution by employees,
are objected to by House members on
the ground that this would be hut a
scant improvement for those super
animated employees who are retiring
and would increase the actual saving
to the Federal Government consid-
erably in excess OF the 10000 which
the Government would have under
the Budget Bureau bill.
Some Senators suggest lowering the
retirement ages so as to absorb this
saving. Such proposals, however, are
not considered seriously by House
members who feel that in conference
the Senate representatives could
easily be shown that this was not the
practical solution.
While Senator Stanfield cannot pre-
sumo to speak for the Senate con-
ferees, the impression prevails among
House members today that if the bill
is sent to conference the Senate will
yield and the Budget Bureau bill, as
passed by the House, will be agreed
upon in conference.
