IN FLIGHT OF POLES
John Gregg Takes Part in
Evacuation of Kiev.
BOLSHEVIK REGAIN- CITY
Americans Feed Refugees, Take
Care of Wounded Soldiers
M.nd Bur j- Dead.
WAJISATV, June 16. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Americans took a
prominent part in the evacuation of
Kiev by the Poles. They turned
their automobiles over to the Polish
staff for use in feeding refugees, aid
ing wounded soldiers and burying
dead where there had been fights with
bolshevik raiding parties.
The Americans, among whom was
John Gregg of Portland, Or., of the
American Relief association, arrived
in Warsaw today after six days and
nights in captured bolshevik box
cars. When they departed from Kiev
June 10. the bolsheviki were shelling
the city and aviators were dropping
bombs.
Vehicle Loaned Poles.
Two American automobiles filled
with Polish staff officers headed the
procession when the evacuation of
Kiev began. They were loaned by
representatives of the American Re
lief association and the American
railroad mission to Poland. A pro
cession of vehicles of all kinds was
strung along the highways for a dis
tance of 25 miles.
Near the rear were an officer and
a woman on horseback followed by
a detachment of soldiers. The of
ficer was General Rydzmigly, the
Tollsh commander at Kiev, who was
accompanied by his bride of six
weeks. She accompanied the general
when Kiev slipped from the hands
of the bolsheviki. General Rydz
migly, who had made all plans to
defend Kiev from every side, was the
very last to leave the city.
Travel la Slow.
Nine trains departed to the north
west on the Malin line. The trains
were convoyed by armored trains
ahead and also in the rear. Travel
necessarily was slow, keeping pace
with the infantry. Frequently the
armored trains and infantry literally
fought their way out when attacked
by raiding parties.
For three nights before they
reached the safety zone the trains
were stopped with the coming of
darkness.
At daybreak the convoy moved
again, being delayed several times
from six to ten hours while the Poles
fought off the bolsheviki or repaired
the railroad. The Americans re
ported that Poles captured several
Browning machine guns from the
enemy.
The captured bolsheviki explained
that the machine guns had been
taken from the forces of Admiral
Kolchak. The bolsheviki had plenty
of ammunition. Captured, killed and
wounded bolsheviki included many
Chinese and Tartars, and also black
skinned men. Many Poles remained
in Kiev as-itwas impossible to evacu
ate them.
Evacuation Starts Karly.
The Americans heard the evacua
tion order while at dinner in the Con
tinental "hotel. The orchestra was
playing and some few of them wore
evening clothes. The evacuation
started at daylight and was com
pleted in the afternoon when General
Rydzmigly and his bride passed
through the city'a gates on the road
leading westward and through which
his victorious army had pranced a
little less than five weeks ago.
Kiev and her war-time population
of about 350,000 and her church
domes topped with gold, which has
not been touched by any of the nu
merous forces of occupation, were
again within the grasp of the
bolsheviki.

Dodging traps set by the prosecu
tion with the plea, "I can't recollect"
or "I don't remember," Mrs. Sawyer ,
asserted she was not "responsible"
fnv a 1 1 r. f 1.- . j .-
in which she said she fired the fatal
shots at her husband while she was
in a "nightmare" or dazed as if by
shock.
After swearing her married life
with Sawyer was the happiest he
had ever known, she declared her
husband's own actions caused the
trouble between them.
Asked to explain the discrepancy,
she asserted she was still ill and ir
responsible. Several times today she
appeared to be on the verge of col
lapse.
Mrs. Sawyer admitted being "very
angry" with her husband at times,
and said she had thought of com
mitting suicide.
She stuck to her story that Saw
yer had aimed a pistol at her before
she shot him, but could not state
where he stood at the time. Her
recollection had failed somewhat
since she testified yesterday, she
said. She denied that when her hus
band staggered away and fell mor
tally wounded his gun was still in
his pocket.

George M. Underwood Will Recover
After Hand and IjCg Are Cut
Off by Train.
' EXCKLSIORSPRINGS. Mo., June 17.
George M. Underwood, who lost a
hand and a leg last night when ban
dits tied him to a railroad track five
minutes before a train appeared, to
day told the story of his experiences
and denied that the men had any mo
tive that he knew of except, robbery.
He said both were strangers to him.
Underw6"od is in a hospital here. Phy
sicians say he will recover.
Underwood said he offered assist
ance when he saw two men stop a
large touring car and begin tamper
ing with the engine. The men, he
said, forced him into the car, took his
watch and $7, and took him to the
railroatr track, where he was tied.
"While I was struggling to es
cape," Underwood said. "1 heard the
rumble of the approaching train. Then
the headlight appeared and swept over
me. I tried to scream, but the ragst
In my mouth throttled my voice. The
rain was coming on and I felt my
mind going. The mental , torture
eemed to be overwhelming. As the
ngine came within a few rods of me
threw all my strength into-another
ttempt to escape. My right hand
Was free at last and I tore the gag
rom my mouth, screaming. Then I
loosened my right leg and swung
partly free from the track, but my
leg, root and hand were too tightly
ound to be released.
"Something seemed to sting my en-
ire body. I could not hear my own
olee above the roar of the train as
it chopped off my foot and hand. I
uppose I fa-nted for a moment, but
oon I was screaming again. A farmer
came from somewhere and helped) un
tie the barbed wire, which was still
partly strung around my body."

smuggling traffic is alleged to have
led to his killing Henry B. Maronoy
of West Medford, Mass., a fellow stu

today awaiting action by the grand
Jury on a charge of murder. His
companion in flight, Crile Nicely Wise
of Akron, O., was held as a material

including a habit of shooting freely
when in the mood. County- officers
found the walls of his' room peppered

rifle, Meads was exonerated! through
an ante-mortem statement by Arnold.

FIGHT 1 ON RADICALS.
Un-American Elements Said to Be
Working for Nationalization of
Country's Industries.
CHICAGO, June 17. Promotion in
general of the livestock industry was
discussed today at the opening ses
sion of the 32d annual convention of
the National Livestock Exchange,
which was addressed by Thomas E.
Wilson, president of Wilson & Co,
packers, and head of the Institute of
American Meat Packers. He declared
radical and un-American elements
had seized upon proposed legislation
to regulate the packing Industry as
start toward nationalization of all
industry.
Mr. Wilson said the fight centered
upon the "big five" packers was as
much an attack upon the producers
commission men and the 400 smaller
packing concerns of the country."
'It was largely through efforts of
the American cattle associations that
these investigations were first be
gun," Mr. Wilson said, "and were
primarily for the purpose of finding
a remedy for some wrongs which
it was felt, then existed.
"However, what was started has
resulted in the persecution of the
packers instead of an impartial in
vestigation of the entire industry.

TWO PARTIES CLAIM SHIP
Status of Russian Transport at San
Francisco in Doubt.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 17. The
status of the Russian troop transport
Rogday, now here, which is claimed
by both the Kerensky and the soviet
government representatives here, was
investigated by the united States
navy department today, when a small
boarding force from headquarters of
the 12th naval district boarded the
vessel. A report will be made to "Wash
ington by the headquarters.
The vessel was given to the Keren
sky faction by the United States dis
trict court. The commander protested
giving up the vessel and a number o
provate police patrofmen were sen
out into the bay to take possession.
The commander retained control of
his vessel, however, and declared th
local Russian consul who had sough
to seize the ship was not a real rep
resentative or the Jierensky party.
