MOSCOW UNDECIDED
HOW BEST TO CURB
MARIA SPIRIDONOVA
(By Associated Press)
RIGA, Feb. 27.—Maria Spiridonova
probably the most famous of all
Russian women revolutionists, is on
a hunger strike in a Moscow pjison
and it is reported that the Bolshe
vist officials are about to deport her
to Turkestan.
Emma Goldman and other radi
cals have been exerting every ef
fort to have Spiridoniva released
from Russia that she might recruit
her broken health in Germany. But
Moscow officials are apparently
afraid to let her leave Russian soil.
She is the idol of the peasants, and
is believed by them to have a charm
ed life.
As a young girl Spiridonova bomb
ed a Russian provincial governor who
was notorious for his brutal treat
ment of the peasantry. She suffer
ed every indignity at the hand? of
ezarist officers and was sentenced
to death. But this young school
teacher who had made such a bat
tle against the inhuman treatment
of the peasantry was too well known
to be executed and was banished in
stead to Siberia.
The 1917 revolution brought her
back to Petrograd, and although she
was not a Bolshevist, sue induced
the social revolutionises of the left
to cooperate with the Len;nc forces,
and became a powerful factor in the
congress of sailors, soldiers and
workers which brought the Bolshe
vist government into existence and
hastened the end of the Kerensky
regime.
But Spiridonova was opposed to
the Brest-Litovsk Treaty. She bat
tled against the shipments of grain
and cloth from starving Russia to
Germany, and opposed Lenine’s ef
forts to arraign the penniless peas
ants against the thrifty peasants
who had managed to buy a few sheep
and cows. In the All-Russian So
viet Congress in July, 1918, Spiri
donova openly assailed Lenine’s pol
icy and defied the German ambas
sador Mierbach, who was subsequent
ly murdered.
Since that speech Spiridonova has
never been a free woman. For a
time she was in a sanitorium and
the Bolshevist authorities declared
she was mentally irresponsible. Lat
er she has been in various prisons
and under guard in villages near
Moscow. But at all times she has
realized her steps were dogged by
the secret police and she has more
than once appealed to the officials to
throw her back in jail. She said
she preferred actual confinement to
life under constant espionage.
Emma Goldman and other liber
als who have seen Spiridonova fre
quently in Russia scout all sugges
tions that her mind is affected.
LEIPSIC’S FREE HAND
GIVES FAT HARVEST
TO BEGGARS OF CITY
(By Associated Press)
LEIPSIC, Feb. 27.—It seemingly
pays to beg in Leipsic. The muni
cipal welfare office of this city has
unearthed facts as to the profits of
the begging profession that would
seem fanciful were they not borne
out by first-hand testimony.
One blind woman, for instance,
manages to scrape together 1,000
marks, about $250 a week. Daily
earnings of $15 of $25 a day are not
at all unusual with men and women
beggers of experience. Two brothers
who were offered jobs energetically
declined them, saying that they were
making much more money with their
concerts. These -concerts consist
ed in singing before the houses of
the middle class and following the
performance with a sad story ending
in a plea for alms. One of the
brothers, it developed, spent his
Sundays driving a motorcycle with
his fiancee.
In another instance a beggar offer
ed the owner of a certain clever dog
$100 for the loan of the canine dur
ing begging hours because, he said,
the animal would help his business.
Another beggar engaged two cripples
to beg for him. He paid them a
regular salary, but claimed the en
tire earnings. In still another case
a beggar who pretended he was dis
abi \ paid two watchers twenty-five
cems an hour each to warn him when
ever a policeman appeared.
Investigation further developed
that one of the most lucrative forms
of begging was that of exhibiting
children by the way of winning pub
lic sympathy. -It was discovered
that there exists a school in Leip
sic at which children are taught by
experienced beggars what to say
and what sort of doleful face to put
up. Children thus trained are then
hired out to professional beggars, who
in return hand over a share of the
proceeds to the director of the
school.
