Captain Who Fled From Moscow War Prison. Riga, May 30. Capt. Merian C. Cooper, of Jacksonville, Fla., who es caped from a soviet war prisoners1 camp near Moscow on April 12 and who walked and rode on freight trains to the Latvian frontier, has arrived here with new stories of the government of Russia. During his eight months in soviet Russia Cap tain Cooper found the prisons bad, but "well admnistered and as good as can be expected. Captain . Cooper gives the entire credit for his successful escape to Lieutenant Sokoloski and Captain iaicski, two folish officers who ac companied him.. These officers, he relates, succeeded in convincing the peasants and even some of the guards on the railroad bridges that they were escaping Austrian, war prison crs and that Cooper was a German prisoner anxious to get home. He says that both men have "real Amer ican nerve, for they bluffed every one they met and .learned how to flip freight trains with the expert case of an Amerioan hobo. Traded Clothes for Food, "The peasants refused to give us food so we had to tradej the extra suits of underclothing which we took with us for bread," said Captain Cooper. "When we had traded all of the clothing that we could possioly spare and keep from freezing at night I traded my pipe, which had a silver band on it, for seven pounds of bread, and with this we finished the trip. "The entire family sleeps on these Ovens during the winter and be- few pigs or calves. We were up there for 24 hours and the lieutenant slept most of the time and kept me busy holding his nose to stifle his snores when the family was receiving red soldier callers. ' Lenine Most Popular. - "My information about" Russia was gathered from the influx and outflow of the prisoners in the various prison camps where I was stationed and also from the peasants whom I met during the winter when I worked on railroads entering Mos cow and during my escape. "Lenine is still the most popular man in Russia today and his person al following far outnumbers Trotsky.- He is idolized and his pictures are found in every conceivable place. Other pictures and posters bear quotations from' his speeches which are accepted by the peasants like the gospel,' as the negroes say in Florida. . . "Despite the faith of the people in Lenine the masses of the people are dissatisfied,' continued Cooper. "But they are dissatisfied in a hopeless way, for they have accepted the communist government with an air of fatalism and those who might have overturned the present govern ment and established a new govern ment in Russia have all ben dis cosed of. The people are hopeless and say that Russia faces two ex tremes. Qne is the continued rule of the communists which is under coins' some modifications and the other is complete anarchy which would come if communism should fail I believe that the Soviets will rule for some time to come Fear of the Cheka.

"There are several Chekas, mili tary and political, and branches of this organization exist in every group of workers, such as the rail road Cheka. There are . even a number of spies in jail. "And, speaking of the jails, it is very sad to see the children calling at the prisons to see their fathers and mothers. All of the children are red and they accept the im prisonment of their parents very philosophically. The schools are all red and the eductional program prescriDcs mat ine nrsi imug hiiii.ii must be developed in the mind of very child is the 'revolutionary conscience.' And whatever the out come in Russia will be it is certain (that the coming generation will be fcommunists, for the bolsheviks at ach more importance to the care of children than to almost any other branch of their activities.

The treat ment of the prisoners also varies. Upon being captured each is oues tioned separately. They are asked they were drafted or if thev volun teered, ihe volunteers have the hardest time of it. The "Revolutionary Conscience.1 "There are no laws in Russia to day, and the government is enforced by decrees. And the decrees are en forced by the 'revolutionary con science' of the communist party. As tor the party, it is the real aristoc racy of Russia today and it is one of the most exclusive organizations which have ever been organized in Kussia. , "The partr is not composed of -working people, for whenever a workingman is admitted he either takes a political or a military job. The party members distinguish themselves from the rest of the pop ulation by either wearing a badge with the communist emblem em bossed or a revolver on a Sam Brown belt. As members of the party are the only persons in Rus sia permitted to wear revolvers the communists are rather a " distin guished crowd. "The party is one of the best dis ciplined organizations in the world, for there is seldom but one punish ment for all offenses. That is death. There are very few Russian com munists in prison in Russia today. And any person of influence in Rus sia today is a communist." Patriotic Bodies Parade To Cemetery at Beatrice Beatrice, Neb., May 30.

May 30. Helen Owen, 17, child of romance and adventure, mysteriously missing. is being sought in Chicago. Wealthy rela tives wish to bestow upon her, a large fortune that has been left to her by an uncle. Three other fortunes have been pooled in the attempt to find her and a large reward has been offered for information that will lead to the desired result. The girl disappeared after escap ing from the home of her custodian, Mrs. Condley. Previously she had fled' from the Home for the Friend less. Helen's mother was the daughter of Don Esteban Garcio, a retired major of the Spanish army and of one of the oldest families of Spain. Her father was Warren D. Owen, who fought a duel with Don Este ban before he won her. He died a year ago last April in New Bed ford, Mass., leaving his daughter an orphan. Helen was born ir. St Louis, and after her hother died was placed in an orphanage in Boston. Her father took her from that place one night and sped to Chicago with her. Her grandfather wanted her and had sent agents to take her back to Spain. They traveled all over the. country, changing thei: name to Gordon. But the girl was growing up and she must be educated. The adventuring ceased. The former roughrider es tablished himself in Oak Park as a painting contractor. , Helen managed the house and did as she pleased. She went to movies, dances and cabarets. It was thus she came into the hands of juvenile officers. She- ventured into the loop one night with a girl friend. It was late. A policeman stopped the girls and questioned them. Helen's Spanish blood caused her to make angry comment. She was placed m the Home, for the Friendless. She escaped and was taken back. Her uncles Clyde Owen of Pitts burgh. Perry Owen, superintendent of a large bakery in the east, Wil liam Owen, wealthy resident of Cario, 111., and Edward Owen of Boston sought her in vain. A. few months ago Edward Owen died and left his entire estate to her. Women Organize to Advance Plans for Armament Reduction Washington,. May 30.

Serious demonstrations against French troops and Polish in surgents have taken place in the be sieged cities in upper Silesian in dustrial regions. The most violent outoreaxs occurred in neuinen, ijiei wttz and Hindenburg, where at tempts were made .by the German volunteers to disarm the French garrisons and to break through the insurgent outposts. At Gleiwitz. French tanks dis persed the crowds and at Beuthen French cavalry three times charged through the streets, using sabers and rifle butts on the threatening multitude. Many Germans, including prominent political leaders, were beaten by the French troops. The disturbances at Beuthen were oc casioned by the occupation' of the railway station by insurgents and Polish railway men. Light skirmishes between insur gent and German outposts took place at various points along the front. Except for heavy artillery hre on the insurgents position north west of Gross Strehlitz, the day and night were calm. During the day, Germans approached tfle insurgent lines with white flags at several places along the north Oder front With the interallied plebiscite com mission acting as mediators, the Pol ish insurgent and German high com mands vesterdav concluded an armis tice which provides that neither side will attack the other unless pro voked. Count Adam Zoltowski who, with Daniel Kenszysik, the Polish counsel general at Oppeln. accepted the obli gation in the name of Director Kor- fantv and Commander in Chief Mat thias Mielzvnski. told the Chicago Tribune's correspondent that the truce was oral, as the interallied commission refused to deal officially with the "upper Silesian rebels.

Not a single movie censorship act has been pass ed by any ot the 13 middlewestern states, it was shown by a poll iust completed. Jn many states sucu legislation has been proposed or is pending. In a few states censorship bills have passed one house, but it seems that something has always m cated their unwavering opposition, Supporters, of the sales tax includ ed manufacturers, bankers, large re tail interests and those affected by the special excise taxes in the present law. Opponents of the sales tax includ ed a few business organizations, such as the National Lumber Manu facturers association, the National Association of ' Credit Men and organizations of public utility com panies, but the strongest opposition politically, comes from labor and agriculture. The labor and farm organizations are lined up solidly against the tax. The opposition of labor and agri culture, coupled with the fact that their position has been backed by most of the economists and tax ex perts who have appeared before the committee, has caused advocates of the sales tax to admit that there is scarcely any hope of its approval at this time. Sentiment of the experts has turn ed against a tax on undistributed earnings of corporations to such an extent that there is not likely to be much further discussion of the pro posal. Originally the treasury ex perts were undecided as to whether an increased tax on corporations or a tax on undistributed earnings was preferable as a substitute for the excess profits tax. Secretary Mellon, on the advice of treasury experts, now holds that the tax on undistrib uted earnings is not feasible' and that the increased flat tax offers the most reasonable solution of the problem. There - is little question but that the higher surtax rates on inndividu al incomes will be reduced from the present maximum of 65 per cent to not more than 40 per cent. Some of the farmers' organizations object to any reduction at all just as they object to the repeal of the excess profits tax. The farm organizations, however, will be well pleased if they succeed in killing the sales tax and are not expected to quibble over the substitution of an increased corpora tion tax for the excess profits tax or the reduction in the higher surtax rates. Cycle Patrol Attacked By Rebels Near Dublin Dublin, May 30. A large force of rebels attacked a military cycle pa trol near Waterford at 5 o'clock this morning, but were repulsed, the Irish losing one killed and three cap tured.

Sixteen per sons were injured, one perhaps fa tally, when an airplane crashed into crowded box seats at State Fair park Sunday during a stunt flight. A. L.

It seems that there has been mucn discussion arous ed within the last . 24 hours with the arrival here of the fam ous Jersey ref eree, Harry Er tle and Slim Brennan and many are won dering just who will be chosen as the third man in the ring on July 2. For ray part, I don't care who referees. Any body who is at all familiar with n JACK DEMPSEY. TBIBUKBJhotoJ pew, 11, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. JJfalter Depewj, Baker is about 40, Itcrfered to prevent their enactment goes for. JittmVk the rules of the ring and can count 10 correctly will suit me. In fact, I believe there will not be much need for a referee in this coming fight. One of the chief duties of the odd man within the ropes is to make the fighters break cleanly. I have a hunch that who ever is eventually chosen will not have much work in this respect, for I don t intend to do any holding and fulthermore, I am not going to let the other fellow hold if I can help it. Judgine from what I have heard from experts who . have seen Car- pentier fight, he keeps going all the time and fights cleanly at all times. I am glad to hear this because it is sure to make a great battle. Ertle and Brennan are both very competent men in a ring. Each knows the game from A to Z.they are both absolutely honest and highly efficient It has been said that Ertle is a little rough in the act of breaking a linch and has a tendency to lay is hands on the fighters too much. but I don't think this is fair. From what I have seen of his work he im presses me very much, and that also Of course, there are other very competent men, such as Patsy Ahly of New York. I believe there is none better than Patsy but it seems the chances of his getting the job are rather slim because he is not a native skeeter and it would be only' fair to have a man from the state in which the fight will be held act as referee. The referee in this fight will have a fairly easy time because there is no decision to give as the laws of New Jersey don't allow any. , Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight champion, was one of my numerous callers last night Sometimes I wonder if he is going to continue forever. ' Johnny is one of those who says I look as good as ever. I started my day with a very short walk, took breakfast and went to church. After church I played around with my latest gift, a little pig, christened Dorgan. Hardly a day goes by without somebody handing me a present. If this keeps up I'll probably have enough live stock on hand to start a farm. ' I was invited to be a guest of the mayor of this city at the opening of a new amusement palace on the board walk. It's been a long time since I was in such a jam. Thou sands seem to have dropped into town overnight for the holiday. I boxed six rounds today, two each with Larry Williams, Leo Houck and Irish Patsy Cline. Williams raised a cut on my fore head this afternoon when he landed a straight left, the heel of his glove ripping the skin. The sky waj threatening rain and I glad to get through with the day work. Leo Houck amused the crowd with his antics during our short two round session. The best workout of the day was my two rounds with Irish Patsy Cline. He fought like a little tre-er and ijj the second round I forgot myself for a moment and floored him with a right to the- jaw. The blow was harder than I intended, but Patsy wasn't kurt mucJi, , r.tti Th fact that today was a holi day the run of cattle was about 2,300 head, and while packers were not killing anything today they bought up the ex tremely llaht auDDly of steers at prices that were mostly 1025o higher on any thing desirable.
