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.

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-

The old reliable medicine. Hood's

lette. confessed member of the "arson
syndicate," had the letter in her pos
session when she went to the District
Attorney's office.
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.
