CITY DADS WAX HOT AT HEARING OF POLICEMAN Ringer Orates on Promises the! Commissioners Made Be fore They Were Elected. For a while during the trial of Policeman John McDougall before the city council Friday morning it - looked as though a riot call would have to be gent in to quell the city commissioners. McDougall is charged with having been intoxicated on his beat. After Lewis'Beatty, proprietor of a res taurant at North Sixteenth street, and Rev. Thomas Anderson had tes tified to seeing McDougall appar ently intoxicated, and after Mc Dougall had denied that he was in that condition. Commissioner Fal coner moved that the charges be dismissed. Commissioner Ringer protested that Falconer had reasons tor wanting McDougall retained because he had admitted that he knew McDougall for 25 years Ringer proposed that Falconer be not permitted to vote and Falconer leaped to his feet and stood upon his rights as a member of this com mission. Mayor smith supported him in standing upon tnese ngnts. Promised to Enforce Law. Commissioner Ringer then deliv ered an oration, solemnly calling the commissioners' attention to the fact that they had come into office under the promise to enforce the laws. While he was in the midst if his speech Commissioner Butler called him down" for "acting as prosecuting attorney in the case when he is supposed to be one of the judges. Mayor Smith waved his hand at Butler and tried to hush him, but Butler kept right on talking. Mayor Smith then shook a warning finger at him and said, You be quiet. - "All right, I'll be quiet, but your decision is wrong just the same, said "Dan." "I'm waiting till Mr. Butler gets through, said Ringer. Order being restored, Ringer com pleted his speech against the dis missal. A vote showed that only Falconer and Butler w re in favor of disnissing the charges until Mc Dougall s witnesses are heard. I he case was continued until next Ihurs day. Earlier in the session CommiS' sioners Zimman and lowl had a minor passage of words regarding the rearrangement of Colonel Roosevelt Sharply Criticises President? Appeal Oyster Bay, Oct 25. Comment ing tonight on President Wilson's appeal to the people to return a democratic congress in the No vember elections if they approve of his course, Col. Theodore Roosevelt said: "The president's statement is an announcement that he is a par tisan leader, first and president of all the people second. "It is of course the repudiation of one of his former statements to the effect that politics was ad journeda statement which, of course, he has already repudiated by his action. "I have no comment just at this moment, but I will deal with the matter in a speech after I have had time to read the document which all good Americans will re gard as the most lamentable ap peal to politics ever made by a president during a great war which has been heartily sup ported by all good citizens without regard to party, but which, so far as there have been party differences at all, has been more heartily supported by his political opponents than by his political friends."

Further success ot the an Kussian govern ment and the government of the north at Archangel in their efforts to raise armies to oppose the bol shevik and German forces is re ported in cablegrams received by the Russian embassy, a summary of which was made public tonight. The all-Russian government, on invitation of the Siberian govern ment, has transferred its official seat to Omsk, where the already or ganized institutions of the Siberian government are put at the disposal of the all-Russian . .government. Opinion is united, the cablegram said, as to the urgency of arming the new national forces. The mob ilization of the two classes of 1918 and 1919 has been completed and General Boldyreff has been appoint ed commander-in-chief of all the. Russian forces. Stockholm, Oct. 25. (By Asso ciated Press.) Executions are the most merciful part of the red terror practiced in Moscow and Fetrograd, according to several neutral observ ers who have just arrived in Sweden. While thousands, perhaps, have been executed, the list of victims is far less appalling than the ruthless manner in which political prisoners have been sent to death without a semblance of legal trial, the heart lessness with which they were treated and utter indifference of the bolshevik officials to appeals of heartbroken relatives, who are not allowed to learn what has become of loved ones. Verified stories of scenes at Mos cow ana Jetrograd prisons eclipse descriptions of the barbarism of the middle ages and make the cruelty of the French revolution seem al most humane. Women prison offi cials, and many of them are women, are even more heartless than men, and trample under foot all thi better instincts expected of their sex. In Petrograd Madame Jakoleva has been placed at the head of the commission for suppression of coun ter revolution, and it is greatly to her credit that the terror has abated somewhat under her administration. But the women in subordinate po sitions with the counter revolution ary commissions in the prisons, many of them typical short-haired, leather-jacketed women, who are so numerous in the ranks of the reds, are utterly devoid of humanity to men, women and even children charged with counter revolutionary activities. These prisoners are herd ed into various jails, frequently without any c harge being made, and shuffled about from prison to prison in such a helter-skelter manner that no complete records are possible. An old Russian officer searched the j'ails in Moscow for many weeks trying to find his two sons who haJ been arrested. He was told repeatedly by women clerks who ran through the books indifferently that the lists were incomplete. Finally he applied to a woman who looked at her books contemptuous ly, announced brusquely, "Both shot," and resumed her tea drinking and cigaret smoking. Distracted mothers, wives, sisters and daughters are turned away daily from various inquiry bureaus with out any effort being made to relieve their anxiety. Almost without exception the wo men officials were more heartless than the men. Women entrusted with the task of eiectine women and children from the better class apartments and houses and with taking clothing-jrom formerly well-to-do families are harsher in their methods in many cases than their male associates The persecution of families of of ficers supposed to be associated with the Czecho-Slovak movement is es pecially cruel. Persecution has been hit upon as more effective in break ing down the anti-bolshevik move ment than wholesale executions. Peters, head of the Moscow coun ter revolutionary commission, and so many of the prison officials and execution squads are Letts that the feeling among the Russians against the Letts is growing more bitter every day.
