SOVIET CHIEFS
LOOK FOR HOLE
Expect to Flee to South
America When Russia
Gets Too Hot.
Reval, Esthonia, .June 30. Accord
ing to recently intercepted correspond
ence from communist officials in Mos
cow to communist agents abroad, ad
vising them of the "inside situation"
in Russia, South America, is looked
upon as a final haven of refuge by
many of the less hopeful bolshevik
leaders in event Russia becomes too
hot for them.
One of these letters, recently pub
lished in a Reval newspaper, the Pos
lednie Novosti, advises one of the offi
cial's friends, who now is apparently
in Germany, to "convert your valu
ables into dollars as frequently as you
can, or, better still, into South Ameri
can currency."
"The Octobrists," the letter adds,
meaning by them those communists
who participated in the October, 1917,
revolution, "are , frequently sending
their families abroad. Soon, it may bo,
I shall send my wife across to you,
in which case try to put her up as
best you can." '
Referring to the political situation,
this communist wrote: "Illitch (mean
ing I,emne. that being his middle
name by which he is popularly .known
in Russia) is weakening, Zinovieff
has grown too fat. Trotzky alone
remains as of old the unrecognized
Napoleon, but he is 'evolutionizing'
also."
In connection with the sending
abroad of the families of the "Octo
brists." this letter sroes on: "Will vou
kindly keep a detailed account of
their arrivals and of their means?
P urther, by a decision of the military
department of thft nart.v. T want vn;i
to withdraw from th hanks all thm
deposits at your disposal and put them
in sare nanas. wring to Switzerland
one-third of the 'iron fund' and hand it
to B The rest can be left in
Germany for 'any eventualities."
The writer, constantly refers to the
ruling councils of the bolsheviki as
"the Olympians." and remarks that
."our Olympus is going the pace too
last.
"From January," he says, "the situ
ation in the council of the party and
in the central committee has come to a
point to the last degree. The result
of these conflicts was the expulsion
of Comrades Krylenko, Bontch-Bouro-vistch,
Dubov, Blumenthal and many
others.: This was the last gesture of
the gay party gods. For a word said
against Illitch, Krestinsky or Zino
vieff. even not in public, ostracism is
imminent."

THEATERS
"Lying Lips" Ends Run Tonight. .
Since the world war. whpn thA nam
of Canada was written indelibly on the
scrolls of fame, and before Americans
have admired and respected the sturdy
colonials who are buildins a second
great North American nation. Canada
has been symbolic of determination,
courage, and loyalty.
The same sterling oualitiea which
characterize the northern pioneers form
the foundation of "Lying Lips'
Thomas H. Iince's second big Asso
ciated 'Prodncprs snpcinl whirh will hft
featured at the Broadway theater today
ror tne last time.
The exit and resourcefulness of Blair
Cornwall, a young Canadian French
man, his conviction of right and his
refusal to surrender to wrong, form
the pivotal theme around which re
volves one of the most poignant and
purposeful photodramas of many
months.
The future and happiness of himself
and of a daughter of the English aris
tocracy threaten to be sacrificed at
the altar of convention. As great as is
the girl's love, environment and cus
tom are greater. She is unable to free
herself of the shackles of silver and
satins. Dominated by the necessity of
luxuries and too weak to surrender to
conscience, she lies to herself and to
the man she really loves.
In the leading male role "of Blair
Cornwall, House Peters is said to offer
a characterization more human ana
realistic than any in his long career
as -a screen star. Florence Vidor, who
is co-starred with Peters, is seen as
Nance Abbott, the English girl, a part
which offered unlimited scope for her
dazzling beauty and sterling dramatic
abilities.
Charlie Chaplin also appears on this
program in a two reel "comedv "The
Tramp." The other added attraction
is a Mutt and Jeff cartoon.
FINANCIAL POLICY OF
JAPAN IS OPPOSED
Tokio, June 30. Opposition both by
Japanese and Chinese merchants at
Dairen to Japan's attempt to set up
the gold standard in the Kwantupg
leased territory as a substitute for the
Chinese silver standard ia a leading
subject of discussion in Japan.
The conservative Jiji Shimpo thinks
that if the adoption of a gold standard
can facilitate and increase transac
tions, it should be carried out, how
ever strong the opposition to it may
be. But tf, on the other hand, the
proposal is calculated to depress and
interfere with transactions, it should
be opposed From this point of view,
the newspaper thinks, it seems that
there is reason for the nresent onnn-
sition. It is Chinese who buv in the
interior districts the staple products of
Manchuria and Mongolia and bring
them to the Dairen market.
Wallace Reid in "The Love Special
At The Imperial.
The beautiful Yosemite Valley, one
of the famous garden spots of the
world, formed the background for many
of the exterior scenes filmed for "Wal
lace Raid's latest Paramount picture,
"The Love Special" which will b,e pre
sented at the Imperial theater for
three days starting today.
Mr. Heid and his company, under the
direction of Frank Urson, went to the
location where they remained for mor6
than a week getting the necessary
"shots" and when the company re
turned to the studio, a replica of the
interior of the inn was made.
The new picture, which is an adapta
tion by Eugene B. Lewis, of "The
Daughter- of a Magnate," a story by
Frank H.' Spearman, , is a big, outdoor
production on the order of "The Val
ley of the Giants," in which Mr. Reid
starred two years ago. In this he
plays the role of a railroad construc
tion engineer a real man, big, virile
and thoroughly western. The delightfui
romance is enhanced by the presence
of Agnes Ayres in the leading role.
Miss Ayres will be recalled in several
recent notable productions, including
"Held By The Enemy." "The Furnace,"
and "Forbidden Fruit." .
Others in the cast are Theodore Rob
erts, Lloyd Whitlock, Sylvia Ashton,
Alexander Gaden, Clarence Burton,
Ernest Butterworth, Snitz Edwards
and Zelma Maja.,
"Ladies' ".Pets," another of the fa
mous Monkey comedies featnrlnp-
"Snooky," the Humanzee, together
with the children and animals, will af

Washington, June 30. Acceptance of
the sales tax by the Republicans as a
fulfillment of the campaign pledge to

by Senators Simmons, of North Caro
lina, and King, of Utah, Democrast.
"The only suggestion as to tax re
vision from the Republican side," Sena
tor Simmons told the Senate, "has
been the sales tax. It therefore begins
to look as though the Republican
leaders will attempt to put such a tax
through." ,

BUYING OXEN FOR
NUTMEG FARMERS
Kansas City, June 30i While thou
sands of tractors' are reported to be on
their way west, shipped to farmers
from eastern manufacturers, there is a
representative of Connecticut farmers
in Kansas buying oxen to work on Con
necticut farms.
This man is'C. F. Colcoid, an Illinois
farmer, who also operates in Connecti
cut, and represents farmers there.
Mr. Colcoid attends the sales at the
stock yards, keeping on the look-out
for old steers which would not be very
good as beef cattle but which are usa
ble as work cattle. These he buys and
sends back to Connecticut where they
are auctioned off to farmers. Owing
to the condition of the hilly country
he states that they are the most prac
tical motive DOWer for nnllinc nlnwa
and farm machines.
Mr. Colcoid's peculiar mission has at
tracted the attention of many farmers
who come into the yards with stock
and he has been the butt of jests at
the old fashioned means used "back
east" when the west is turning rapidly
to motorized farm machinery.
