' PEASANTS OF
SIBERIA TURN
AGAINST REDS
TOKIO, July 28 (by Associated
Press).—A dispatch to the Kokusai
^Jews Agency from Harbin quotes a
Russian merchant just arrived there
i from West Siberia as describing the
situation there as follows:
“Tomsk, Novo-Nikolaievsk and
Krasnoyarsk, formerly the richest
cities of Siberia, now present the ap
pearance of dead towns. The streets
are deserted, the shops closed and
very many of the houses destroyed by
fire.
“The populace is terrorized by con
stant public executions. M. Adrianoff,
ediotr of the Sibirskaya, and M. Fili
^nnnoff, editor of the Svobodnaya
Sibir, have both been executed at
Tomsk. The Kolchak officers who
were imprisoned at Krasnoyarsk are
reported executed.
“The peasants are everywhere in
revolt against the Reds and refuse to
send any food to the towns. In the
vicinity of Minusinsk they have
formed five regiments and are push
ing an offensive against the Reds.”
CELEBRATED ACTRESS
IN EXCELLENT PLAY
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
». -
“Out of the Fog,” in which the inter
nationally famed actress Nazimova,
will be seen is booked for tonight at
the Empress.
The play is a screen adaption from
the powerful stage drama “ ’Ception
Shoals,” made famous by Nazimova
to theatre goers in her long and suc
cessful New York run. The distin
guished star plays two roles of wide
ly different character. She is seen
as both mother and daughter at dif
ferent periods of the play—characters
which for range of emotion it would
*^be difficult to duplicate.
Deep and heart-moving as the
drama is, there are at the same
time, many whimsical and delightful
moments, a change from tears to
laughter, which would tax to the ut
termost the ability and art of any
o^ier actress, but which, to this wom
an of many moods, comes naturally
and convincingly. It is a play replete
with gripping power and subtle charm
—bringing vividly to the imagination
the griefs and joys of the ardent
characters portrayed.
The action’of the play starts in a
little fishing village in New England,
where Faith, sister of Jacob Coffin,
known throughout the country for his
narrow and harsh look on life and
his bigoted religious tendencies, falls
in love with a young fisherman. Be
fore they are married he is lost at
sea and Faith’s little daughter, Eve,
is born fatherless. The wrath of
w»
Job Coffin is terrible, and he dooms
^the young mother and her babe to
perpetual solitude on a desolate
island lighthouse. In despair Faith
commites suicide, and Eve is left
alone with her half insane uncle.
Dressed always in boy’s clothes and
without companionship, she groAvs to
beautiful womanhood on lonely ’Cep
tion Shoals, until romance and adven
ture comes to her wTien a yacht is
stranded on the treacherous shoals.
The story is beautifully told and su
perbly acted, and the star is seen in
the best and most dramatic role of
her internationally famous career.

CHINESE GIRL
HELD AS SLAVE
OVER 12 YEARS
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28 (by As
sociated Press).—Shuffling homeward
through the fog in Chinatown here, a
Chinese youth noticed a piece of white
paper flutter through a circle of light
from a street lamp and fall on the
pavement. He picked it up a/nd read
its message, in Chinese characters:
“I am a slave girl. I wish to get
away from my cruel masters. I have
been kept a prisoner for six years on
the fourth floor of 1115 Stockton street.
My name is Loi Mui. I was brought
here from China when I was -a little
girl. I have a friend who says if I
can send word to the man who passes
in blue clothes with a star they will
help me. I want to go back to China.
Please help me.”
The young Chinese to whom the
note had fallen happened to be an
American born Chinese. He knew
that it was dangerous to interfere with
the girl’s captors and to inform the
police might mean death for him and
his family. His better instincts guided
him to the Hall of Justice with the j
note. His name will never be known
to anyone but the police.
Police Captain O’Meara, with federal
officials and a representative of a Chi
nese mission, raided the place an hour
after the letter was dropped out of
the window. They battered down
three doors on the fourth floor and
found Loi Mui.
The girl is held in the city prison
while federal officers investigate her
story. She may be deported. She said
she was sold as a slave in China when
she was 12 years old and brought to
this country afterwards. Detectives
say she was held by the Hop Sing
ton, one of he strongest factions of
Chinatown.

MASSACRES I
LEVANT AFTE
WILD RUMO '
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 27 (by
Associated Press.)—Iron shutters
have probably caused more riots,
massacres and pogroms in the Le
vant than political agitators. All shops
in the Near East are provided with
rolling iron shutters which work in
iron grooves. When they are banged
down they make as much noise as a
machine-gun. Every time there is
rumor of any sort of trouble some
timid merchant slams down his shut
ters to protect his plate glass. With
out investigating the cause, other
merchants follow instantly with such
a clatter that the public becomes
panicky and rushes about trying to
discover the cause of the flurry.
At such moments, excited crowds
will credit any rumor which is put
into circulation. Pickpockets avail
themselves of such opportunities
Soapbox orators, street fakirs and
magicians gather crowds by this de
vice. In any Turkish city the circu
lation of a rumor that a movement
is to be started against Christians
will cause all the Armenian am1
Greek shops to close within a few
minutes, and frequently the noisy
closing of the shops fans the religious
hatred of the Moslems into action.
Just received the new fall line of
samples of made-to-order rain coats.
Now is the time to order at Hubbert’s
