Goss!? of Staff Corrrspanda&t at World Centers cf Population (By H. R. Knickerbocker. INS, Correspondent Moscow.—Police officials the world over will usually say there is no such thing ns a genuinely new “graft” but the Moscow De tective bureau claims to have found something unique when Teodor Sheiko fell into its hands. Sheiko, a young man of 21 years, admits that he has not done a day’s honest work since he was 15 years old, but during the last six years has enjoyed a good income at the business of planting mice in loaves of bread. His stock in trade was baked mice, done in a turn, in a coat of flour. His procedure was to pur chase a loaf of bread in a first class bakery, take the loaf to his hotel room, cut it in two, hollow' out just enough of the interior to fit a baked mouse neatly, insert the mouse, then return with the “load ed” loaf to the bakery, And hand it to the proprietor with an of fended air and a few pungent re marks. Sheiko reports that he often re ceived as high as 50 roubles from ! bakers to ‘keep that matter quiet,’ | and seldom received less than 10 roubles. He had “worked” nearly I all the principal cities of Russia, deluding Leningrad, Odessa, , Kharhov, Kiev, Rostov on the Don, averaging about 30 roubles a duy income, a princely sum in Russia. He made his fatal mistake when he inadventently “repeated” in a Moscow bakery where the proprie tor remembered him from a visit four years ago. I Firemen of the Truchanovski ; district of the city of Kiev were ; equally as tricky as Mr. Sheiko, 1 but profited far less. The Truch janovski district is situated on an | island in the Dnieper river op posite the city. On this island are loented the boat houses and re pair shops for the steamers ply ing the Dnieper. For the protec tion of the shops the steamship companies maintain a fire depart ment consisting of six men. But the Truchanovski firemen were discontented. Visiting fire i men from the city of Kiev used to | laugh at their equipment, and ! point provoklngly at their own new automobile steamers, hook I and ladder wagons, and beautiful I new German hose. The Truchanov ! ski firemen explained that there t hud not been a fire on the island for four years, nnd the shipping ; companies would not pay for more ; equipment. Whereupon the visiting I firemen remarked, “You need a fire.’’ The idea took root, and soon blossomed into a good-sized blaze i which consumed the Truchanovski workmen’s club and gave the Tru ■chanovski firemen a chance to de monstrate that nothing could be | done with such old-fashioned equipment. But the little club was : too unimportant to make an im j pression on the shop owners, who refused to improve the fire-flght I ing apparatus. The next night after their fu tile conference with the shipping proprietors a real fire broke out. The six ambitious firemen are now in jail, having confessed their crime and begged for mercy. Russia has its own phenomenal youth, rivalling America’s one time William James Sidis, the son of Prof. Boris Sidis, of Harvard University, who was graduated from Harvard at the age of 14. The Russian “phenoni" is Nikolai Nazaroff, now a professor in the I University of Tashkent, teaching higher mathematics, at the age of 118. Nnearpff also was graduated from the University when he was j 14 years old. His graduating thesis ' was “Definite Brief Intervals,” a j work on an abstruse problem of advanced mathematics. Nasaroff has already published several pa pers in scientific jctarnals. The Government Scientific Council de clares he has promise of becoming one of the world’s greatest mathematical geniuses.
