Comrades:-
While the capitalist newspapers
throughout the country are de-
nouncing the "Reds" in China for
destroying Yale in China as they call
it, it is just as well to know how
"Yale in New Haven" is conduct
ing itself. We all know very well
that our patriotic capitalists turn
over millions of dollars in cold cash
every year.
would like to tell of a little in
cident that occurred here a few
weeks ago.
Police Plan Raid.
In one of the buildings that Yale
was demolishing a small army of
unemployed workers used to crawl
into for lodgings at night. The po-
lice were informed of this and a
raiding party was planned by the
police of No. 1 Precinct.
At four o'clock in the morning
the place was invaded by squad
of cops. Fifty workers were cap
tured. They were lined up and
searched by the cops. Out of the
fifty workers how much money was
found on the fifty men?
Now guess, fellow-workers. Why,
three cents! Now, just imagine,
three cents on fifty men.
Hell of Country"
Now, l don't think any other state
in the union can beat that. One
cop, hear, was more sympathetic
than the others. He was heard to
remark this is certainly hell of
country. Three cents on fifty
men. Why didn't Hoover and Green
state that there is $37 per capita
for every person in the United
States. Don't this prove that they
know what they are talking about!

 HUBBARD'S CHARGES
Claims He Knew Nothing of Protection Money
 Alleged Collected

SEATTLE. Sept. 2.-Roy c. Lyle, former Prohibition Administrator of the Pacific Northwest, went on the witness stand yesterday afternoon and denied charges he and his three associates, Whitney, Corwin and Fryant, defendants in the present conspiracy trial, extracted S1O0,00O protection money from organized liquor runners.
 After Thomas P. Revelle, former United States District Attorney. was excused, eight minor witnesses were heard before Lyle was called.
 Former dry agent E. R. Small and Deputy Prohibition Adminis- trator w. H. Kinnard testified they urged capture of many bootleggers the Government charges were pay ing protection to the defendants.
 Four other witnesses said Jack Mcbride, Government witness who told of paying bribes to Whitney, had bad reputation for veracity in Grays Harbor
 No S3,0O0 for RevelIe
 Revelle ended cross examination with a denial of charges he &C., cepted $3O00 from Olmsted during Revelle's gubernatorial campaign in 1926.
 Lyle said he consulted Senator Wesley L, Jones about hiring A. L. Hubbard as agent because it was unusual to hire as an agent a man who had been indicted as liquor law violator.
 Lyle denied Hubbard's charges that he knew of regular collections of protection money
 Lyle said the only bribe Hubbard told him about was $1,000 obtained from Ben Newman, in the Zev case, which the government used as evidence in the trial of the zev conspirators.

DAMAGE AT FAIRBANKS
 TOTALS S50,000
Aggregate Reaches High Figure but Individual
 Losses Are Slight

Few residents of the town of Fairbanks escaped without some damage from the recent flood there, according to Highway Engineer R J. Sommers, who returned early this week from a trip to the interior and who was in Fairbanks during the period of high water.
 While no single individual or in- stitution suffered any great loss, the aggregate of all damages probably was not less than S50,000, he said.
 A large part of the town had water over it eighteen or more inches deep, every basement was filled, and roads leading into the city from both north and south had from two to four feet of water across them in places. No actual suffering was reported.
 Many Without Heat
 However, much discomfort was experienced by many whose heat ing plants were put out of commits sion by the high water. The busi- ness section of the town was with out heat for several days. The central heating plant was not flood ed out, but it was unable to turn steam into the mains owing to the fact that the tunnels were standing full of water.
 Every hotel in town was also un- heated a few days. Each has it's. own heating unit which was rem dered unserviceable during the high water stage.
 The water at Fairbanks, MT. Sommers said, was the highest ever known in the history of the camp, including high water periods during spring breakups. The c h e Il a Slough overflowed it's banks for miles. On Richardson Highway about one mile south of town water was two feet deep. At the Sabln homestead about one mile north of town it was four feet deep and a scow had to be used there On the main business street, water was in several stores and it was Is inches deep at Gordon's Block, three blocks south of the Cinema Slough Bridge.
 Hospital Biggest Loser
 St. Joseph's Hospital was the big gest loser. It stands near the north bank of the slough. Water flooded its gardens, yards and the storage basement where large quantity of supplies was kept. Many of these were ruinedsand all suffer ed some damage from the water.
 Conditions at Nenana were about the same as at Fairbanks, except that the light plant at the latter city was unaffected while Nenana went in darkness for time when its plant was put out of commits sion.
 Owing to the excessive rainfall which soaked the ground thorough ly, the flood subsided very slowly.
 Goes to Kuskokwim
 MT. Sommers flew from Anchor age to Bethel, on the lower Kus- kokwim River to investigate peti- tions for construction of a landing field. Owing to the swampy ter rain, cost of construction would be so excessive as to make it imprac- ticable for the Territory to under take the project, he said.
 Pontoon planes offer the most feasible method of flying to Bethel, he added. Water landing conditions there are ideal. Land planes at periods of low water in the river can use bars, but when the water is high it is not advisable to try to use land planes, he said.
