Popula tion Dwindles 25,000. WOMEN GET MEN'S JOBS Koreans and Chinese Imported to Handle Munition's at Docks, but nexperience Delays Ship ments on to ltussia. VLADIVOSTOK, Oct. 10. (Corre spondence of the Associated Press.) Before the great European war began Vladivostok had more than 100,000 in habitants. Today its population is less than 75.000, so heavy have been the calls of the Russian army upon the men of Eastern Siberia. The latest sum mons w ill take 10,000 from Vladivostok alone. These new recruits are being sent way at the rate of 1000 a day. Many of them are badly needed in Vladi vostok to help take care of the war supplies whicheare glutting the port. But the call of the army is unqualified. Russia has such a great number of men that all of them are not com pelled to undergo military training. Kxreptlons are made in the case of an only son in the family. More than 100 were, taken by this call from a single tirm in Vladivostok. Many of the American concerns with offices have lost virtually their entire Russian of fice forces to the army. Women Being Trained. Retail and wholesale establishments have such reduced forces that through a Keneral agreement all the larger places of business close at the lunch hour, not having men enough'left to arrange relief at meal time. Women are being- trained for positions they are fitted for. preference being given to wives of men called to the front. Coreana and Chinese are coming into Vladivostok to replace dock laborers called to war. Virtually all the heavy work on the docks now is being done by them, but they are so unskilled there is much uneasiness as to tho effect the removal of the better trained Russians will have on the handling of war sup plies. The Russian government was slow to call out reserves in Siberia. Men are few and much needed in this coun- try. The government has expended great sums in encouraging emigration to Siberia, and hesitates to take the. cream of the colony's manhood back to the battle line. Owners Go AVIth Employes. Owners of large businesses have been taken along with their humblest em ployes. For many days it has been raining, but frequently mothers with young babies sit or stand in the rain, weep ing as they wait for the train which is to carry their husbands away. There is little Jubilation among the departing noldiers. The war has dragged on so long it has become a nightmare to the families of the men liable to service, and there are so many women in black now In Vladivostok that duty at the front is regarded as almost certain death. A band plays each night as the troop train leaves the station, but its music cannot drown the audible grief of the women and children, who cling pite ously to tneMeparting soldiers. Enthusiasm is little greater among the ofllcers than . among privates, ap parently. Each night officers" families accompany them to the station and silent groups have farewell dinners at the station cafe. I'"cvr Return From Front A few wounded officers and privates have returned to Vladivostok, but the losses have been so great that men coming back from the fighting line are received with great surprise. "We used to send flowers to the troon trains and give the men a rous ing send-off," a Russian lady re marked today, "but one cannot keep that up forever. They are going con stantly now. So many of us ha"l lost relatives and friends that we have not the heart to cheer and pretend to be gay when we are not." An ofticer"s funeral moved through the main street of Vladivostok today, fiuch processions are not unusual in Siberia, but the Russian men are never too much occupied to stand in silence with heads bared when a coffin covered with the Russian flag moves past them While the weekly express trains still make the trip between Petrograd and Vladivostok in nine days, the move ment of other trains is very slow Troop trains frequently require 30 days for the trip.

Second Floor ARSON CASE PENDING G. F. Alexander Talks for Two Hours Against Time. LETTER MYSTERY CLEARED Photograph of Message Sent to Mrs. Mary Kennedy. Regarded as In criminating, Taken by Mr. Evans From Mrs. WoIIette. The trial of Mordie Keeney for arson did not end yesterday. It may go to the jury some time today. G. F. Alexander, one of Kceney's attorneys, talked for two hours yes terday afternoon in what looked like a "filibuster." Plainly he didn't want to talk so long. But Deputy 'District Attorney Collier has waived his open ing1 argument. Mr. Alexander had to talk. Mr. Maguire. chief counsel for Keeney, was supposed to talk nexe, but no attorney likes to have his ar gument split into two days. At 4:45 P. M.. two hours after he started his argument, Mr. Alexander quit and it was announced that Mr. Maguire had been called to attend to his son. who was sick. So Mr. Ma guire didn't have to start talking- in the fas-end oX a day. Court was ad journed. The defense sprung its sensation yes terday morning when the fact was brought out that District Attorney Evans opened and photographed a let ter written by Mrs. Mordie Keeney, to Mrs. Mary Kennedy, -who was" in Oakland. Cat. The manner in which the prosecution had obtained a copy of the somewhat incriminating- letter was a mystery when the photograph was introduced in evidence. Mrs. "Woollrtte Give Letter. Yesterday, however. Captain Groce, of the fire department, was called to the witness stand in rebuttal. On cross-examination Mr. Maguire finally brou srht out th fact that Mrs. Wool- DO YOU SUFFER FR0MJ5ACKACHE When your kidneys are weak and torpid they do not properly perform their functions; your back aches and you do not feel like doing much of anything.

It was testifed that Charles W. Rob inson saw the sealed envelope and ex claimed: "Where did you get that? We're looking for that woman." The letter was taken into Mr. Evan's office. Two hours later, Mrs. Wool lette said, she was taken to a photog rapher's, and there the letter was photographed. "I'll tell you who opened the letter if tha-'s what you want to know." interrupted Prosecutor Collier. "Mr. Evans opened the letter." Mr. Maguire pointed out later that the opening of the letter was in viola tion of a state law which carries a somewhat severe penalty. The letter had not yet been mailed, hence the act Of openingit would not fall under Fed eral statutes gainst tampering with United States mail. Letter Re-scalcd and Sent. After the letter had been photo graphed, according to official?, it was re-sealed and put in themail. Mrs. Kennedy therefore received it intact She had destroyed the original before leaving Caiiifornia. According to the prosecution the let ter was a warning to Mrs. Kennedy to stay in California six weeks longer. The sentence "Be wise and learn all you can while gone." was pointed out as especially significant. - The Keeneys, however; contend that the letter bore no significance in con-, nection with .,he "arson trust" dis closures made about that time. Mrs. Kennedy is now under indictment on a similar charge. With the argument by Mr. Maguire and that of Prosecutor Collier today, the case will go to the. jury probably early tomorrow afternoon.
