ELEVEN PEOPLE ALMOST DEAD

Chicago. Dec g. Eleven persons have lived on the outskirts of Chicago for years without ever seeing a movie, hearing a radio. knowing there were such things as slxyscrapers. or riding in a trolley car or automobile. Police discov- cred them to-day by accident.
 The family is that of Joseph Steiff, 50, who emigrated from Russia 30 years ago. His wife joined him a few years later and they took a little farm at the edge of the city. They had nine chill dren. They never left the farm: they prohibited their children from leaving.
 Several days ago Mary. 23, the eldest child, saw a pigeon circle above her in flight. That was an evil omen, according to the super stitions her father had taught her. On following days, a horse and n calf died and her father lost the lease on his farm.
 Convinced she had brought q course to her family, the girl went to a neighbours house. The father appealed to police who investigated and discovered the story.

BY HENRY n. RUSSELL

 These two men, Riga Sha. ruler of the nation where he once was Q sentry at the gate of the govern ment palace, and a mystery man" known as Tesmourtache. were re- ported in some dispatches to be playing one nation against another with possibilities of worldwide re- percuss1ons.
 Morgan interests, General Mo- tors, Goodyear, and Firestone were reported negotiating, co-incident to the oil controversy, for trade mon- opolies in Persia. This report aroused no little interest here, and brought some denials from Amer ica.
 It was openly hinted in the anti R issian London Press that the An- glo- Persian dispute was largely due to Russian influence. Lord Beaver brooks Daily Express said 1t had
