SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-Alex-
ander Pantages' fight against his
conviction on the charge of attack
ing 17-year-old Eunice Pringle ap-
peared at a climax today when it
became known that the multi-mil-

A decision OF the California su-

new trial, and carrying with it the
assertion of Chief Justice William
H. Waste that the testimony of
the prosecutriX is so improbable as
to challenge ones credulity," caused
a conference of states attorneys to-

may be decided.

cate which provided young girls for

American Camp.

AS every man is king under a
political democracy, so every Iaborer
is boss under the Russian Soviet
system.
How all the workmen on job
go into a huddle whenever there is
some experimenting to be discussed,
is described in a letter from Russia
received today by Judge Clarence R.
Martin of the supreme court.
The letter was written by A. H.
Worsham, an Indianapolis engineer,
who is in Russia with the Austin
Company of Cleveland. o. The COM
pany is building an entire city, to
be called Austingrad, for the Rus
sian government. Worshan is one
of the American engineers in charge

Quit and gang around as thick as
they can get and they don't miss a
word" the engineers letter states.
"They don't hesitate to bawl out
the boss, either This is the coun-
try of workers equality and any
body can baWl any one out any
time" he wrote.
The letter was written from Aus

camp. Some observations Of the
work. country, governmental system
and peoples are set out as follows:
MY own observations are those
of a construction camp, which is
not at all typical of any place, so
that I can not claim any knowledge
of general conditions in the cities.

to go anywhere anytime alone, and
we are always treated courteously.
Considering that our labor here
is comprised mostly of ignorant
peasants, who don't know what it
is all about, we have made wonder
full progress on the job, although it
is far behind what we have been
used to in the states. We have
been delayed continually by lack Of
material and labor and when you
are out of anything here, except
possibly labor, you are out. There
are no several sources of supply,
like at home. You just wait until
you can get it.
Il would not be surprised to see
the flve-year plan slowed down until
things revive somewhat" the writer
continues. Il suspect that the 1881
quota will be much less than we
expected.
Personally I like the Russian
people very much, all that l have
met. Disregarding our differences
in viewpoint, they have some very
admirable traits and after a little
while you find that they are very
hkable people
Communism, as it works out, is
far different from the idea most
people have of it, especially the agi-
tators at home. 1t is a pretty strict
and severe government, according to
our rather loose standards.
81 am not sold on this system,
but it has many things that we
could adopt to our benefit, just as
they in time will have to make
some changes. They are expert
menting and are quick to con-
denim their own mistakes and
change quickly. We do not, so
perhaps they will come out ahead
in the end. Who knows?"
