CONCRETE SLAB
 FOR PIER TWO IS FOUND 0KAY
Seal Is Perfect when Water Pumped Out - Start
 Pouring Main Pier

The big nine-foot concrete slab on the foundation to pier two of the Douglas bridge, was poured suc- cessfully, it was revealed last night when pumps succeeded in empty ing the coffer dams. The seal was found to be perfect, 1t was said to- day by Straton, bridge engineer.
 One pump is now keeping the coffer dam free of water and had no trouble doing it on last nights high tide, he said. A crew was put to work today preparing the dams for pouring the concrete for the main pier.
 Pouring is expected to start by tomorrow and probably will be con- pleted early next week. As soon as the concrete sets everything will be in readiness for steel construc- tion to start on the mainland sec- tion of the bridge. Some delay in fabrication was encountered by the contractor on that job and it prob ably will be the middle of October before it starts.
 A. Dishaw, who is erecting the piers, is now building wooden cof- fer dams which he will use on pier three on the Douglas side, the last of the four to be erected. He hopes to have it in place and be- gin work on it next week

 E Little Noreen ztieff, pupil of Dorothy Stearns Rolf f., brought down the house with her poise and charm as she gave several dances, in which she not only displayed a natural aptitude for dancing, but expert training on the part Of her instructor. Her first presentation, for which she wore an attractive costume of pink satin and silver, was an acrobatic dance, and she amazed the adult audience by her skillful performance and suppleness.
 Cartwheels and open splits are only two of the difficult acrobatic stunts she gave in the dance with ease and agility. Her poise was remarkable in one so young. Her last two dances were given in typi- cal Scotch costume befitting the Highland Fling and Sword Dance, both executed with perfection.
 Displays Attractive
 Displays at the fair are more than usually interesting and at tractive this year and brought forth praise and favorable com- ment from the crowds examining them. Many original creations are included in the school exhibits from the beautifully woven scarves, ties and shawls from the Sheldon Jackson School, to the miniature log cabin, completely furnished in detail, which was sent down from the Holy Cross Mission. Art ex- hibits from the local schools are in execution.
 The floral exhibit this year is splendid, not only for the size and beauty of the flowers but for ar tistic arrangement of the displays.
 Interesting Booths
 Many interesting display booths attracted comment and will prove more than worth while as an at traction to the fair A number of firms and business houses opened booths this year for the first time and effort and ingenuity was used to make them colorful and inter esting as well as educational.

Kerensky Debt Records We're Burned to Hide Craft

The surety company kept $780,
900. Bakhmetieff and Ughet got
$1,0oo,000.
Financing Butcher of 100000
One of the most sensational acts
of Bakhmetieff was his financing
of the visit of Ataman Gregory
Semenoff to the United States in
1919. Ataman Semenoff, according
to testimony of General Graves,
head of the American Siberian ex-
petition, and Lieutenant Morrow
of the United States army, in his
campaign OF terrorism slaughtered
100000 people.
The matter became SD scandalous
that on May 4, 1919, Senator Borah
in the United States Senate at
tackled Semenoff, and his protege
and financer, Bakhmetieff.
Borah accused Bakhmetieff, rather
mildly, of being perfectly fraud
ulent." He declared he was dealing
with a criminal, and that he had
"embezzled American money" No
one in his right senses could ever
claim the money was loaned to Rus
STA. Borah considered it was Amer
lean money" that Bakhmetieff and
Co. used for his orgies and counter
revolutionary expeditions. 1t is this
same American money" that the
Roosevelt government, through the
Johnson Bill and Attorney General
Cummings decision, claims the So
Wet government owes, and is in de-
fault for not paying.

Borah proposed detailed in
vestigation of Bakhmetieff's ac-
tivities, which was never-and never
can be-fully made.

Russian people. The exact amount
of this booty was never ascertained
1t mounted into many millions; and
this money too was squandered.
Print Rubles in u. S.
Long after the Kerensky govern
ment had been ousted, ruble notes
were printed in New York on order
of Serge Ughet land paid for out
of Kerensky loans for shipment to
Kolchak and other counter-revolu-
tionary forces in Siberia to pay for
the civil war against the proletarian
dictatorship. This, too, the Roose-
velt government wants the Soviet
Union to pay.
No wonder in 1923 and 1924,
Bakhmetieff and Ughet, who &C
cupied the Russian embassy in
Washington, burned and destroyed
their books of account! They wanted
to eXtirpate forever one of the most
scandalouS transactions in the his
tory Of capitalist government fin
ance.
A particularly juicy example of
the Swlndllng practices OF Messrs.
Bakhmetieff and Ughet is the case
of the claim for $1,340,000 of the
Russian government against the
Tennessee Copper Co. In 1915 the
Russian Government Supply Com
mittee," which was the control COM
mittee of the Gear, placed contract
with the Tennessee Copper Co. for
shipment of picric acid. amounting
to approximately $4560,000.
A first installment was paid of
s1,140,000. The National Surety Co.
insured delivery. The goods were
never delivered. The money paid
should have been used to offset
the Kerensky loans. But Messrs.
Bakhmetieff and Ughet began to
