BERLIN, January I'm an inter-
view with Emil Ludwig, noted
biographer Of Bismarck, Napoleon and
Kaiser Wilhelm, Leon Trotsky, the ban
tshed Russian dictator, goes as far as
to envision the probable return of q
Gear in Russia.
While the present regime in Russia
might appear to be progressing along
certain lines, there is on the whole a
decided decline. Some day there may
be general reversal of existing sys-
TENS. Perhaps we shall even see the
return of Gar, but no reaction will
ever again place the governing power
into the hands of few hundred mobiles
The accomplishments of the revolution
can never be wiped out.
These are the views Trotsky ex-
pressed to Ludwig during an interview
which took place at Trotsky's lonely
island home in the Sea of Marmora.
near Constantinople, and just published
here by the Berliner Tageblatt.
Confident of Returning.
While it is obvious that Trotsky has
a small opinion of the men presently
Tullng Russia, his admission of possible
drastic changes in the Soviet rule were
considered interesting here Should war
or European Intervention have the
effect OF gathering again the Trotsky
forces, now dispersed all over Russia,
Trotsky himself is confident of being
able to get back into that country to
lead them, he said.
The recent stock crash in America
is only the beginning of tremendous
industrial upheaval, the result of
which will be to inundate Europe with
American goods, Trotsky feels. Such
an economic conquest" will come in

GRAFT IN ATLANTA
CONTRACTS CHARGED
Grand Jury Says System Must Be
Uprooted to Assure Honest
Bidding.


ATLANTA, January 4.-Charees of
graft and Juggling of contracts" in the
city government of Atlanta were made
today by the Fulton County grand Jury
In presentment following an investi-
cation Of municipal affairs.
The system of graft which has been
built up is of such a nature and SCOPE. -
the presentment said, that the grand
jury is Of the opinion that unless it is
uprooted it will practically be impos-
sible in the future for any one to sue
cessfully bid on contracts or supplies In
which Atlanta is interested without the
bidder paying tribute in the form of
graft"
The statement said: I'VE find also that
in many instances commissions are de-
manded and collected for material or a
contract for construction work from the
city even after bids have been opened
and awarded by the proper authorities
to the lowest and best bidders
We find that there has been Juggling
OF contracts: that all kinds of extrava-
gance has been practiced in awarding
claims for extras and otherwise chang
ing and varying specifications Of build
ingS"
No indictments were returned by the
grand jury.

In addition to the States investiga-
ton at Shreve, Coroner j. 3. Patterson

window on his side of the bus. He said
his nephew, Willard Baker, looked out
OF the other side to give warning If a
train was in sight but that Willard evil
IDENTIFY did not see the danger. Will
lard was one of the victims
AT the same time, the shouts and
songs of the other occupants of the
bus, all OF them students, who, with
their coach, Maurice Lenz, were re-
turning from a victorious basket ball
game at Big Prairie, drowned out the
SOUNDS OF the bell and whistle.
Plan Single Service.
Baker shifted gear of the bus and
drove ahead. A moment later, the bus
was mass Of wreckage, the bodies of
the dead were scattered along the
tracks and the injured were either
screaming with pain or unconscious.
The boys who were killed were Will

Repp, Wayne Lehman, Emil Timic
Eugene Talley and Willard Baker. The
most seriously injured of the others was
a girl, Edith Repp. She had both legs
fractured and other injuries that made
her condition critical.
Funeral plans were being made by
high school officials with the expectation
that single service, which the whole
town Will attend, will be held for the
seven boys who are dead.

NEW YORK, January 4.-Fear that
his desperate pals in the underworld
would attempt a rescue today caused
police to transfer George Small. dia
mond thief, gunman, jail-breaker and
assassin, from the prison ward of the
Kings County Hospital to the observa-

Nearly 80 uniformed policemen and
detectives, all heavily armed, acted az
an escort to the ambulance which took
the bed-ridden gangster to safer quar-
tiers. This unusual guard. it was said
at police headquarters, will remain un-

Police Guard Prisoner.
Last night Small, with two bullet
wounds in his neck and chest, and his
left leg incased in heavy plaster cast
which prevents him from rising to his
feet, slept while three policemen stood
guard in a room with a steel door and
heavily barred window. Outside the
building housing the observation ward
other policemen and plain-clothes men
kept watch lest Arthur Barry, diamond
thief, gunman and jail-breaker. appear
at the head of gang of equally reck-
less desperadoes and attempt to save
Small from the electric chair.
Barry and Small were the two who
directed the outbreak of 1,400 convicts
In Auburn last July, whom they armed
with rifles, shotgunS and revolvers seized
IN the prison arsenal. Barry and Small

ended November IL, when he was
brought down by three police bullets
after he had killed a woman in at
