THEFT OF FOUR
MILLION RUBLES
IS EXPLAINED
Astonishing Story of Political
Plots in Days Before Allied
Troops Landed at Arch
angel Is Told.
.By Associated Press.
Archangel, Saturday, April 7.
The theft of 4,000.000 bolshevik
rubles by a band of Circassian Cos
sack officers whose activities also
included the arrest of the American
consul at Archangel and the kidnap
ping cjf the north Russian govern
ment, was explained at the trial of
the officers today before the su
preme judicial authority of northern
Russia. The officers, among whom
were Captain Bers and Colonel
Melia, were convicted and sentenced
to imprisonment and deprivation of
their rank and decorations. Be
cause of their military valcr the
court recommended that they be
pardoned.
The defendants unfolded an as
tonishing story of the inner details
of the-days before the allied tiCops
landed at Archangel and of the po
litical plots that occurred afterward.
Last July, when an allied landing
at Archangel seemed imminent. Cap
tain "Bers and the other Cossacks
were aligned with the bolsheviki. As
the allied troops approached the
city, the bulk of the bolshevik force
fled, but Bers and the Cossacks re
mained behind, as did Colonel Pot
apoff, the bolshevik commander,
who was arrested later.
Arrest American Consul.
Captain Bers seized the safe con
taining the bolshevik war fund of
4,000.000 rubles. Then, with Col
onel rotapoff, the Cossacks attest
ed the American consul. Felix Cole:
the British and French consuls and
the French military mission. The al
lied officials were taken to a barn
and hidden, the Cossacks holding
them and the money as hostages
until something definite happened.
When the allies landed and the lo
cal counter revolution broke out al
most simultaneously on August 1-2,
the consuls were released, the Cos
sacks however, after declaring them
selves ready to support the new gov
ernment and claiming that they were
secretlv against the bolsheviki
throughout, kejt the 4,000,000 rubles
as a Cossack prize of war.
At the trial it was revealed that
the money furnished the financial
sinews for the attempted coup
against the north Russian govern
ment early in September when, under
the direction of Colonel Tchaplin,
the Cossacks kidnaped President
Tschaikovlsky Snd other members of
the provisional government at mid
night and spirited them away to a
lonely monastery near the White sea.
It was largely through the initia
tive of American Ambassador Fran
cis that the attempted coup was frus
trated and the members of the gov
ernment released and reinstated in.
their offices. The defendants said
that much money was spent in brib
ing various officials not to interfere
with the kidnaping. Political con
ditions were pleaded as justification
for arresting the members of the
provisional government.
from some source the defendants
were able to restore all of the 4,000,-
000 rubles they had taken and they
have handed the money over to the
present government. The .men were
tried on a charge of taking funds be
longing to the government.

LONDON GREETS
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF $250 FORDS
Though Car Would Sell for
About $450 in England,
It Would' Be Cheaper '
Than Motorcycles.
(By I nlvemal Service.) ,
London, April 7. A standup pas
senger on the district railway yes
terday rooming a share of a strap
in one hand, his newspaper in the
other gave a sudden whoop of ex
citement. His fellow standers star
ed. They thought he had seen a
seat.
He had merely read a cablegram
from New York telling about the
$250 Ford car and realized what it
meant. '
He passed the news around. All
the other passengers who had room
to move their arms turned, each to
the front page of his paper, to read
the wonderful announcement. , In
the motor trade of London and the
country the same enthusiastic inter
est was shown.
"I will take as many of these $250
Fords as I can get," said a motor
dealer to a newspaper representative,
"and sell them before I can receive
them. There is no end to trade
prospects before the car. Picture
a fine Sunday with new Fords each
yard of the way from London to
Brighton. No more tube over
crowding; no more fighting for tram
cars, everybody saving money, by
buying 50 Fords in place of sea
son tickets."
Now for the bad news. The Ford
could not be sold in this country at
much less than $425, owing to the
tax on imported cars. It would be,
even at that figure, much less than a
motorcycle and a sidecar, or any ex
isting light car on the market.
