Tork banks for the Deutsche Bank, of
Berlin, and employed to pay Bolb Pasha,
German spy and peace propagandist,
were placed at- the disposal of Count
"Von Bernstorff by -wireless messages
from the German Foreign Office was
obtained today by States Attorney Mor
ton E. Lewis. -
This, evidence conclusively proves,
according to the Attorney-General, that
Count Von Bernstorff had a direct hand
in directing the activities of Bolo
Pasha, who is now under arrest in
Paris. It was obtained, he said, from
Hugo Schmidt, agent here of the
Deutsche Bank, whom he examined to
day. Telegram Are Brought.
Subpenaed to appear before the Attorney-General
today, Schmidt pro
duced the text of eight wireless tele
grams In code exchanged between him
and the German Foreign Office In
March and April, 1916, while Bolo was
in this country. The messages author
ized Schmidt to place at the disposal
of Count von Bernstorff more than $1,
500.000. held in the Guaranty Trust
Company to the credit of the Deutsche
Bank.
' In these messages. Von Bernstorff
was referred to as Charles Gledhill,
the German Foreign Office was known
as William Foxley and the Guaranty
Trust Company was called Fred Hoo
ven. The messages, said Mr. Lewis, served
as links in a chain of evidence showing
how German money was transferred to
France by way of New York.
Source of Money Secret.
From the Guaranty Trust Company
the money made its way by a system of
cashier's checks to G. Amsinck & Co.,
exporters, to the New York branch of
the Royal Bank of Canada, to J. P.
Morgan & Co., in New York, .and thence
to Paris. By this method, none of the
companies and banks Ijad knowledge
of the original source of the money or
Its destination.
The investigation of Attorney-General
Lewi3 disclosed that William Ran
dolph Hearst, the newspaper publisher,
attended a dinner given in this city by
Bolo in March, 1916, according to the
Attorney-General. There were present
at this dinner. Mr. Lewis told news
paper men, Adolph Pavenstedt, who fig
ured as an Intermediary for the trans
fer of German funds into New York
banks to be sent to Paris for peace
propaganda among the French news
papers, and Jules Boies, a French lec
turer, who. It was revealed, received
money-from Bolo Pasha.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 4. William
Randolph Hearst, the publisher, com
menting on information made public
today In New York by Merton K. Lewis,
Attorney-General of New York, concerning-
Mr. Hearst's social relations
with Bolo Pasha, alleged German spy,
defied Mr. Lewis to "substantiate any
one of his own unwarranted implica
tions," under threat of proceedings for
slander.
"The statements and innuendoes of
the Attorney -General of New York in
regard to myself and Bolo Pasha are
not true," Mr. Hearst said in a written
statement, "and I challenge him to sub
stantiate his utterances, which are dis
tinctly discreditable to him as a politi
cal partisan.
"I met Bolo Pasha merely as a French
newspaper man, the reputed represent
ative of the Paris Journal."

the .German soldier - as much as on
forcing their way forward in recent
battles. The lavish expenditure Of
artillery ammunition in which they
have engaged steadily for months may
have been designed largely .to shake
the nerves of the men among whom
the shells were falling day and. night.
The results of today's drive, some of
ficers believe., may prove clearly that
the demonstrated preponderance of al
lied artillery, shown repeatedly to the
men of both armies, has served not
only to hearten the men of the British
and French armies and instill into them
confidence in the final outcome of the
war, but has equally served to depress
and make doubtful the rank and file of
the Germans.
There are many observers also who
believe that with the Germans forced
back out of the more rugged country
the fighting may assume a more open
character next Spring. In the wide
level lands into which the battle lines
are' being carried there are no strong
natural positions. Sandbags must replace
ridges and concrete and steel the hills
that have made possible the small forts
which have held up many a charge
heretofore.
Coupled with this goes the sugges
tion that real strategic operations may
become possible next year for the first
time since the armies dug in after the
retreat from thev Marne. Spring may
see gigantic movements set afoot to
break the deaklock of trench warfare.
Whether a combined land and sea as
sault on the exposed flank of the Ger
man line might be Included no officer
would predict.
FEDERAL LAW DRASTIC
WARNING . ISSUED TO THOSE WHO
IMPORT LIQUOR.
All Violations of Prohibition Lair In
volving Interstate Shipments Are
' Referred to Government Officials.
"Judging from the extent to which
whisky has been shipped illegally into
this state, it is apparent that those
engaged in this sort of business do
not realize that they are violating not
only the state law but the Federal
statutes as well," said District Attor
ney Evans yesterday. "What is more,
the Federal statute is a most stringent
enactment and must be raced by these
law viuidiuis, 1 1 1 an i i riiarn 1 1 1 .
volvinsr Interstate shinments are re- !
ferred to the United States authorities.
"The Reed amendment makes it a
Federal offense to 'cause intoxicating
liquors to be transported In interstate
commerce, except for scientific, sacramental,-medicinal
and mechanical pur
poses, into any state or territory the
laws of which state or territory pro
hibit the manufacture or sale therein
of intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes,' although the state law may
not prohibit such importation or may
specifically permit the importation of
intoxicating liquors in designated
quantities."
The nine Japanese, arrested in last
week's notable raid by the Sheriffs
office, when more than 600 quarts of
whisky were seized in this city, will
not only be prosecuted for violating
the state prohibition statute but also
must answer to the Federal authori
ties for a violation of the law as to
interstate commerce.
NEW PROJECT STARTED
DRAINAGE DISTRICT ASKED
GRAND ROXDG FARMERS.
Wheat Lost This Spring Through
Floods Would Pay for .Im
provement, Claimed.
LA GRANDE. Or.. Oct. 4. (Special.)
A petition was filed today with the
County Court asking for formation of
a drainage district, the boundaries of
which include 44,000 acres of the rich
est land in this valley. Owners of more
than 25,000 acres signed it.
Practically all the land " has been
farmed for years, but as the Grand
Ronde River and Catherine creek have
a flat grade, crops have been destroyed
about every four years. This season's
wheat yield, lost through Spring floods,
would about pay the whole project, it
is claimed.
The state ditch built recently was
beneficial but insufficient, and it will
be used in the proposed project. Engi-
ner Rhea Luper has detailed the plans
for building laterals, ditches and levies.
The district will be formed as rapidly
as legally possible. Union, Hot Lake,
Cove and other districts will benefit
by the project.
EVADERS VAT EXPLAIN
LAST CHANCE GIVEN DRAFTED

Deserters t No Dishonorable ,
Discharges to Be Issued.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. A last warn
ing was issued today to drafted men
who failed to answer the call to the
colors. The Government gave notice
to those who have failed to report
that they will be given an opportunity
to escape punishment if they join the
colors now and explain their previous
failure to do so. If they show a will
ful disposition to evade ' service they
will be charged with desertion and an
effort will be made to apprehend and
punish them.
Drafted men failing to report now
will be promptly advertised as desert

Mrs. Rheta CMlde Dorr. Tells of
Final Erfort of Teuton Party to .
Seize Government and Flight
of Agents Following Failure.
Continud From First Paie.)
vaiL -In Petrograd it has been a sort
of neck and neck between them, with
the Minshiviki in greater number.
But. as the seat of Government. Petro
grad has had a great attraction for
the German agents, and they are all
Bolsheviki and very energetic. Early
in the revolution they established two
headquarters, one in the palace of
Mme. Kchessinskaia. a dancer, high
in favor with some of the Grand
Dukes, and another on the Viborg side,
a manufacturing quarter of the city.
Here in a big rifle factory, and a few
miles down the Neva, in Cornstadt,
they kept a stock of firearms, rifles
and machine guns big enough to equip
an army division.
Lenlne's Position Shoirn.
The leader of this faction, which was
opposed to war against Germany but
quite willing to shoot down unarmed
citizens, was the notorious Lenlne, a
proved German agent whose power
over the working people was supreme
until the uprisings in July, which were
put down by the Cossacks. Lenlne
was at the height of his glory when the
Root commission visited Russia, and
the provisional government was so ter
rorized by him that it hardly dared
recognize the envoys from "capitalistic
America." Only two members of the
mission were ever permitted to appear
before the soviet or council. They
were Charles . Edward Russell and
James Duncan, one a Socialist and the
other a labor representative. Both
men made good speeches, but not
a line of them, as far as I could
discover, ever appeared in a Socialist
newspaper. In fact, the visit of the
commission was ienoreri hv th rnHtal
J press, the only press which reaches 90
per cent of the Russian people.
In order to make perfectly clear the
situation as it existed during the
Spring and Summer and as it exists
today. I am going to describe two
events which I witnessed last July.
Both of these were attempts of the
extreme Socialists ' to bring about a
separate peace with Germany, and had
they succeeded In their plans, would
have done so. Moreover, they might
easily have resulted In the dismember
ment of Russia.
Peace Move Described.
The 18th of June. Russian style, July
1 in our calendar, is a day that stands
out vividly in my memory.
For some time the Lenlne element of
the - Workmen's and Soldiers' Council
had planned to get up a demonstration
against the non-Socialist members of
the provisional government and against
the further progress or the war.
The Minshiviki element of the coun
cil, backed by tne, government, spoiled
the plan by voting -for a non-political
demonstration in which all could take
part, and which should be a memorial
for the men and women killed In the
February revolution and burled in the
Field of Mars, a great open square once
used for military reviews.
As the plan was finally adopted It
provided that everyone who wanted to
might march in this parade, and no one
was to carry arms.
Great was the wrath of the Lenlne
Ites, but the peaceful demonstration
came off, and it must have given the
government its first thrill of encour
agement, for events thilt day proved
that the Bolsheviki or Lenlne follow
ers were cowards at heart and could
be handled by any firm and fearless
authority.
Procession Is Warlike.
It was a beautiful
Sunday mornlnr.
... . i. . T , -
xJ"?,..ofT,f-U"e' -Wl!n w.a,ked up
luc i iudcll, ine x 1 1 i n avenue
of Petrograd, watching the endless pro
cession that rilled the street. Two
thirds of the marchers were men, most
ly soldiers,' but women were present
also, and a good many chlldrn. Red
flags and red banners were plentiful,
the Bolsheviki banners reading, "Down
with the ten capitalistic ministers,"
"Down with the war," "Down with the
Duma," "All the power to the Soviets,"
and presented a very belligerent ap
pearance. With me that day was another wom
an writer. Miss Beatty, of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, and as 'we walked along
we agreed that almost anything could
happen and that we ought not to allow
ourselves to get Into a crowd. For once
the Journalistic passion for seeing the
whole thing must give place' to a de
cent regard for safety.
We had just agreed that if shooting
began we would duck Into the nearest
court or doorway, when something did
happen something so sudden that its
very character could not be defined.
Crowd Has Explosion.
If it was a shot, as some claimed,
we did not hear it. All we heard was
a noise something like a sudden wind.
That great crowd marching along the
broad Nevski simply exploded. There
is no other word to express the panic
that' turned them without any warn
ing into a fleeing, fighting, struggling,
terror-stricken mob. They rushed in
every direction, knocking down every
thing in- their track.
Miss Beatty went down like a log,
but she was up again in a flash, and we
flung ourselves against a high - iron
railing guarding a shop window. Di
rectly beside us lay a soldier, who had
had his head cut open by the glass sign
against which he was thrown. Many
others were injured.
Fortunately, the panic was short-lived.
It lasted hardly five minutes, as a
matter of fact. All around the cry
rose that nothing was the matter, that
the Cossacks were not coming. The
Cossacks, once. the terror of the Rus
sian people, in this upheaval .have be
come the strongest supporters of the
government. Nothing could better dem
onstrate the anti-government intention
of the Bolsheviki than their present
fear and hatred of the Cossacks. So
the "Tavarlshi" took up their battered
banners and resumed their march. No
one ever found out what started the
panic, gome said that a shot was fired
from a window on one of the banners.
Others said that the shot was merely
a tire blowing out. Some were certain
that they heard a cry of "Cossacks,"
and some cynics suggested that the
pickpockets, a numerous and enterpris
ing class just now, started the panic in
the interests of business..
Other Disturbances Reported.
This was the only disturbance I wit
nessed. The newspapers reported two
more In the course of the day. A young
girl watching the procession from the
sidewalk suddenly decided to commit
suicide, and the shot she sent through
her heart precipitated another panic.
Still a third one occurred when two
men got into a fight and one of them
drew a knife.
The instant flight of the crowds and
especially of the soldiers must have
given Kerensky hope that the giant
could be got back into the bottle, es
pecially since on that very day, June 18,
Russian style, the army on one of the
fronts advanced and fought a victorious
engagement.
The town went mad with joy over
that victory, showing, I think, that the
heart of the Russian people is still in- :
tensely loyal to the allies, and deadly
sick of the fantastic programme of the
extreme Socialists. Crowds surged up
and down the streets bearing banners,
flags, pictures of Kerensky, They
thronged before the Marie Palace,
where members of the government, of
ficers, soldiers, sailors made long and
rapturous speeches, full of patriotism.
They sang, they snouted, all day and
nearly all night. When they were not
shouting "Long live Kerensky!" they
were saying, "This is the last of the
Lenlneltes."
'But it wasn't. The Bolshevikis sim
ply retired to their dancer's palace,
their Viborg retreats and their Cron
stadt stronghold, and made another
plan.
Warning Given Residents.
On Monday night. July 2. or in our
calendar July 16, broke out what is
known as the July revolution, the last
bloody demonstration of the Bolshe
viki. I had been absent from town
for two weeks and returned -to Petro
grad early in the morning after the
demonstration began.
I stepped out of the Nicholai Station
and looked .around for a drosky. Not
one was In sight. No street cars were
running. The town looked deserted.
Silence reigned, a queer, sinister kind
of a silence. "What in the world has
happened?" I asked myself.
A drosky came into sight and I hailed
It. When the Izvostckik mentioned his
price for -driving me to my hotel I
gasped, but I was two miles from home
and there were no trams. So I - ac
cepted and we made the journey. Few
people were abroad and when I reached
the hotel I found the entrance blocked
with soldiers. The man behind the
desk looked aghast to see me walk in,
and he hastened to tell me that the
Bolsheviki were making trouble again
and all citizens had been requested to
stay indoors until it was over.
I stayed indoors long enough to
bathe and change, and then as every
thing seemed quiet, 1 went out. Con
fidence-was returning and the streets
looked almost normal again. I walked
down the Morskaia, finding the main
telephone exchange so closely guarded
that no one was even allowed to walk
on the sidewalk below it.
Telephone Office Guarded.
That telephone exchange had been
fiercely attacked during the February
revolution, and it was one of the' most
hotly disputed strategic positions in
the capital. Later I am going to tell
something of the part played in the
revolution by the loyal telephone girls
of Petrograd. A big armored car was
plainly to be seen in the courtyard of
the building, and many soldiers' were
there, alert - and ready.- I stopped in
at the big bookshop, where English
newspapers (a month old) were to be
purchased, and bought one. The "Jour
nal de Petrograd, the French morning
paper, I found had not been issued that
day. Then I strolled down the Nevski.
I had not gone far when I heard rifle
shooting and then the sound, not to be
mistaken, of machine gun fire. People
turned in their tracks and bolted for
the side streets. I bolted, too, and
made a record dash for the Hotel d'Eu
rope. The firing went'on for about an
hour, and when I ventured out again
it . was to see huge gray motor trucks
laden with armed men, rushing up and
down the streets, guns bristling from
all sides and machine guns fore and
aft.
What had happened was this. The
"Red Guard." an armed band of work
men allied with the Bolsheviki, togeth
er with all the extremists who could
be rallied by Lenlne, and these in
cluded some very young boys, had been
given arms and told to "go down in
the streets." This is a phrase that usu
ally means go out and kill everything
in sight. This was the undoing of
Lenine. In this case the men were as
sured that the Cronstadt regiments
would join them, that cruisers would
come up t.he river and the whole gov
ernment would be delivered into the
hands of the Bolsheviki. . The Cronstadt
men did come in sufficient numbers to
surround and hold for two days the
Tauride Palace, where the Duma meets
and the provisional government has its
headquarters.
- Cossacks Hated by Bolsheviki.
The only reason why the bloodshed
was not greater was that the soldiers
in the various garrisons around the
city refused to come out and fight.
The same members of the Soviet had
begged them to remain in their casernes
and they obeyed. All day Tuesday
and Wednesday the armed -motorcars of
i.v. n.i.u...n,i ..i i v 1. .
line QUiwiicvini u.otivu . i uu. o.ii rv k j
barrack daring the soldiers to come
out and whenever they found a group
of soldiers to fire on, they fired. Most
of these loyal soldiers are ' Cossacks
and they are hated by the Bolsheviki.
Tuesday night there was some real
fighting, for the Cossacks went to the
Tauride Palace and freed the besieged
ministers at the cost of the lives of a
dozen or more men. Then the Cossacks
started out to capture the Bolsheviki
armored cars. When they first, went
out it was with rifles only, which are
mere toy pistols against machine guns.
After one little skirmish I counted 17
dead Cossack horses and there were
more farther down the street. As soon
as the Cossacks were given proper
arms they captured the armored trucks
without much trouble. The Bolsheviki
threw away their guns and fled like
rabbits for their holes.
Last Night of Revolt Described.
Nevertheless a condition of warfare
was maintained for the better part of a
week and the final burst of Bolsheviki
activity gave Petrograd, already sick
of bloodshed, one more night of terror.
That night 1 shall not soon forget.
The day naa been quiet and -we
thought the trouble was over. I went
to bed at 10:30 and was in my first
sleep hen a fusillade ' broke out, as It
seemed, almost under my window.
sat up in bed and within a few minutes
the machine guns had begun their In
fernal noise, like rattlesnakes in the
prairie grass. I flung on a dressing
gown and ran down the hall to a
friend's room. She dressed quickly and
we went down stairs to the room of
Mrs. Emmallne Pankhurst. the Englsh
suffragette, which gave a better view
of -the square than our own. There un
til nearly morning we sat without any
lights, of course, listening to repeated
bursts of firing and the wicked put-
put-put-put of the machine . guns,
watching from behind window draper
ies, the brilliant headlights of armored
motors rushing into action, hearing the
quick feet of men and horses hasten
ing from their barracks. We did not
go out. All a correspondent can do in
the midst of a fight is to lie down on
the pavement and make himself as flat
as possible, unless he can get Into a
shop where he hides under a table or
a bench. That never seemed worth
while to me and I have no talcs to
tell of prowess under fire.
Vantage Point Found.
I listened to that night battle from
the safety of the hotel, going the next
day to see the damage done by the
guns. A contingent or mutinous sol
diers and sailors from Cronstadt, which
had been expected for several days by
the Lenlneltes, had come up late, still
spoiling for a fight; had planted guns
on the street In front of the Bourse
and at the head of the Palace bridge
across the Neva and simply mowed
down as many people as were abroad
at the hour.
Nobody knows, except the authori
ties, how many were killed, but when
wc awoke the next day we discovered
that, for a time at least, the power of
the Bolsheviki had been broken.
The next day the mutinous regi
ments were disbanded in disgrace.
Petrograd was put under martial law,
the streets were guarded with armored
cars, thousands of Cossacks were
brought in to police the place and
orders for the arrest of Lenine and his
lieutenants were issued.
But it was openly boasted by the
Bolsheviki that the government was
afraid to touch Lenine and certain it
is that he escaped into Sweden and
probably from there into Germany.
Lenlne's Flight Prefaces Downfall.
I should not like to believe that the
government actually connived with his
escape, since there was always the
menace of his return and the absolute
certainty that he would remain an out
side directing force in the Bolsheviki
campaign. It is more probable that,
in the confusion of those days of fight
ing, he was smuggled down theNevt in
a small yacht or motor-boat to tne
fortress of Cronstadt and from there
was conveyed across the mine strewn
Baltic into Sweden. Rumor had it inai
he had been seen well on his way to
Germany, but it is more likely that
his employers kept htm nearer tne
scene of his activities.
He was guilty of more successful
inlrlffu6. more murder and sudden death
than most of the Kaiser s fattnful and
deserves an extra size iron cross, if
there is such a thing. In spite of all
that he has done he has thousands of
adherents still in Russia, people who
believe that he is "sincere out misguided"-
to use an overworked phrase.
The rest of the fighting mob were
driven from their palace, which they
had previously looted and robbed or
about $20,000 worth of costly furni
ture, china, silver and art objects.
They were hunted out of . their rifle
factory and finally surrendered to tne
government after they had captured
but failed to hold the fortress of Peter
and Paul. They surrendered put were
they arrested and punished? Not a bit
at it. They were allowed to go scoi-
free. only being required io gno up
their arms. The government exists
only at tne win ul me mvj u vn

"TavarlshJ."
