.'SOVIETS GRAB
AMERICAN FOR
TELLING TRUTH
LONDON, July 15 (bp Associated
Press).—Royal C. Kelly, an American
engineer, recently arrested by Bolshe
viki authorities as he was about to
* leave Russia, where he had executed
an industrial commission for the
r soviet government, incurred the dis
pleasure of the soviets because he
“told the truth, plain and unvar
nished,” Nicolas Isnard, chairman of
the All-Russian Central Council of
Trade and Industry, said upon his ar
rival here. Isnard fled from Russia,
where, he declared, “the misery and
dislocation of life is complete.”
The fate of the American has not
been learned. According to Isnard,
Kelly went to Russia in September,
^1919, at the invitation of the Bolshe
viki government, and as an expert on
technical and industrial organization
was asked to make a complete report
to the soviet government “on ways
and means to save the Russian indus
j • _ l _i.Vv. »>
U Jiai OHUU UVil.
“On his arrival in Russia, Kelly was
received with great honors and excep
tional facilities were afforded him to
travel all over the country,” Isnard
said. “He visited the industrial con
cerns of Petrograd and Moscow, tra
velled to the great textile center of
Ivanoyo-Vosnesensk, and to the coal
mines of the Donetz, and completed
his trip by a tour of the Urals.
“Upon his return to Moscow in Jan-j
uary, 1920, Kelly was lodged in the;
commissariat of foreign affairs, in the
famous palace where other distin
guished visitors later found a sump
tuous welcome and the Kremlin inti
mated its great desire for his report.
Here the American committed his first
and greatest mistake. In his report
he told the soviets the truth, plain and
unvarnished. The gist of his report
was that ‘the industrial concerns of
Petrograd and Moscow are ruined com
pletely, and it will need years to get
them into some sort of working order.
The machines and tools are in a dis
orderly condition, rapidly deteriorat- j
ing, and many vital parts are lacking. |
All skilled labor seems to have dis- j
appeared completely. The Donetz
coal mines are in a very bad position
also, and will need two or three years
to put them straight. The work in
the Urals is in a better condition and
can be tuned up quickly. But nothing
useful can be achieved until all de
crees against property and personal
security are annulled.’ ”
Isnard declared Kelly, in an explan
atory note, gave “extraordinary exam
ples of Bolshevik administrative in
competence,” one of which was that
boilers of the electrical station in Pe
trograd were kept going for some time
by stoking them with all the great
stores of mahogany accumulated in
the car-building shops there.
After this report Kelly’s position
changed completely, Isnard continued,
and although he prevailed upon the
foreign commissariat to give him a
^ permit to leave the country, he was ar
rested at the frontier, and since then
nothing has been heard about him.

BOSTON, July 15 (by Associated
Press).—A compilation of 1920 census
returns covering what is generally
known as Greater Boston shows that
the population of Boston and its sub
urbs has now reached almost exactly
1,500,000. Unlike most of the larger
cities of the country, Boston has an
nexed very little of the territory im
mediately adjoining and has a total
area of only 47.8 square miles, as com
pared with 287 square miles in Greater
New York.
The Boston metropolitan district,
covering an area within a 15-mile
radius from the state house, includes
26 cities and towns in addition to
Boston proper. The 1920 population
of all of these except Watertown has
been announced and the total is 732,
541 for the suburbs. Watertown’s
population as recorded by the state
census of 1915 was 16,515, a gain of
3,640 over 1910. If xt made a similar
gain in the last five years, it would
now have 20,155 inhabitants. This,
added to the other suburbs and to the
747,923 population of Boston, would
make a total of 1,500,619.
The percentage of growth ot xnost of
the suburbs has been much greater ;n
the last decade than that of Boston
itself, due chiefly to the fact that a !
far larger number of people whose 1
daily business is in this city have
found it agreeable to establish their
homes outside the city limits. The
great majority of the suburban popu
lation is made up of people whose
work or business is in Boston. The
city of Lynn, with a population of
99,148, is within the 15-mile limit, but
is largely self-supporting through its
shoe manufacturing and other indus
tries and is not included in the com
pilation given above.
PROFESSOR DON’T LIKE
FANCY BATH COSTUMES
HONOLULU, July 15 (by Associat
ed Press).—Professor Albert Bushnell
Hart of Harvard, now on a visit to
the islands, voiced his criticism of
bathing costumes worn at Waikiki
beach at a recent Ad Club luncheon.
“Such scenes as you have at Waikiki
would not be possible on the Atlantic
coast,” said Professor Hart, who add
ed: “It is a question whether the
women of our race, in this community
of many racial angles, should not set
a different example in this regard.”
