THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, SEPTE3IBER 21, 1921 RESIGNATION Attempts to Steal Food Are Declared Few. OUTLOOK FOR WINTER BAD Amcrlonn Relief Expedition About to Begin Furnltthlng Supplies to Children at Kazan. BY HERBERT PULITZER. (Copyright by the New Tom WorM, Pub lished by Arrangement.) KAZAN, Bept. 18. (Special.) I ar rived last night with the first Amer lean relief administration's train at Kazan, the capital of th Tartar so Viet republic, whlcn la Z10 mllei northwest of Samara, th heart of the Russian famine area. Five truck loads of flour and milk were un loaded this morning, enough to feed 2000 children one month, and the first meal will bo served tomorrow, Conditions In the entire district are bad, more so In the outlying; villages than in the towns. In the villages for 50 miles before the train reached Kazan I found most of the people trying to subsist on two pounds of bread made of a mixture of straw, grass and clay. Some speculators were trying to sell a few eggs and aalt fish at prohibitive prices. Conditions Getting Won, Reports from villages along the Volga say that conditions are grad ually becoming worse and those who are unable to enter the towns have gathered at the river banks hoping for food from the passing steamers. Tbey are slowly starving there and disease has broken out. In the market of Kazan there Is a little food offered for sale, but prices are too high for all but a few to buy. This morning I saw the body of a man lying on the sidewalk. He had died of starvation within 20 feet of a butcher's stall where pieces of meat were on display. The hopelessnee and resigned spirit of the people are almost un believable. Although food Is being displayed openly by speculators who have little to sell, 1 have seen no attempta to rob them. I asked some peasants coming here from the vil lages about condition. They all re plied that they were starving slowly, but that things were not as bad now as they would be during the wlnte. when there would be no grass or acorns from whic. to make bread. When I asked them what they would do then they answered: "We will all die." Spirit Is Typlcel. Their spirit of utter non-reslstanco typifies the attitude of this entire district. They are all looking death In the face and seem eager for It to come. Cholera In Kazan has been reduced from 100 canes daily to about 2U owing to Inoculation by the govern ment and the coming of cold weather. Winter will bring on a new menace typhus It having an even higher mortality than cholera, which here in the Volga district has been fatal in 80 per cent of the cases. Because of the famine a large percentage of the population Is wsn drlng about aimlessly searching for food. Many of them are children ( years old or over who, entirely alone, are boarding the trains, not caring where they are going but eager to get where there is food. Children Are Housed. The first food distributing- station Is in the building formerly used at a girls' college, but which Is now a children's home. The children In Kazan have been Put there and are kept for a few days until shipped elsewhere. At present there are housed In this school more than 125 inmates avoraging under 10 years of age. The children are supposed to re ceive each day a quarter of a pound, of black bread with a little salt, some cereals, and once In a while some horse-meat steak. But these supplies are exhausted and the children are nnar starvation, though not yet starving. BED CROSS 1 IS UP PRESIDENT ISSVES STATEMENT TO AMERICAN TEOrLE.

Evol and Clare, two charming maids, sponsor a series of songs and original steps, all of a high order. Thlr gowns are especially hand some, ana the set proved a favorite. Harry Patrick and 6am K. Otto offer a capital turn called "The Duck Hunters," which for sheer fun and originality captures a flock of blue r'bbons. The two are excellent co medians.

Mr. Kerbs has not heard from his sister. Mrs. Katherine Sommer, for more than IS years. He made another effort to get in touch with the family and In January, 1921. he wrote his sis ter In Russia. As soon aa the letter wss received by the three daughters of Mrs. Sommer they wrote their uncle. The -letter was mailed to the United States on June 22. The girls tell of the terrible deaths of their father and mother. The father was cut to pieces by the Cossacks op posing the bolshevikl and their moth er was burned to death in 1918. Their home was burned to the ground and everything waa In ruins in a few hours. The Sommer home was one of thecbest in the country and what now remains of their place is a shed where the pigs were housed. In this shed live the three attractive daugh ters of Mr. and Mrs. Sommer. In the letter the girls wrote: "Uncle, we will gladly write our oath to do our part In Amerlca-ln our own blood If we can get there." Katie Is 23 years of age. Lottie 21 anl Lydia la IS yeara. So one knows what we have suf fered," the letter continued. "There Is no grass on the gr'ound now for the people have eaten this and they have eaten the leaves and the bark from the trees. A few daya ago It waa reported that grass was to be found several miles from here. Many started for the grass with hundreds falling by the wayside. After some iiad, readied the place they were too i weak to eat. There are no dogs, cats, cows, nor even any horses now. The people here have eaten every thing In that class and most of the rats have been eaten. "Gophers are now being feasted upon and these will soon run out, for all are trying to get enough ot them to keep from starvation. . "There are thousands of people dy ing from hunger and you will find these lying on the street dead, clothed In burlap, while some have little clothing on. It has gone so far that some of the people have commenced eating the dead after they have laid on the streets for days. Cholera has broken out here, which is due to the bodies lying on the ground. The stench is terrible, and still people are eating some of these bodies. The death rate baa averaged from CO to ISO a day. There are no coffins or graves to put these unfortunate peo ple In." It cost the three girls $10 to send the letter to their uncle. In giving some Idea as to the cost of articles In the afflicted ' city they say that a pair of shoes will cost 250.000 rubles; a cow 1,000,000 rublea; a shirt 600,000 rubles. As there was no note' paper to write the letter on the girls found a page from a notebook which they wrote on and on the rear side of a tax receipt of their late father, dated December 23, 1888, they concluded their letter to their uncle.

Service Commissioner Asserts Lia bility to Pedestrians Pronounced at Turning Points. SALEM. Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) Attention of officials of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company today was called to dangerous track age conditions In the congested dis trict of Portland, In a letter prepared by Fred G. Buchtel, member of the Oregon public service commission. The letter was addressed to Franklin T. Griffith, president of the railway corporation. "During the commission's recent in vestigations of-the Portland Railway, Light & Power company'a trackage conditions," said Mr. Buchtel's letter. it was observed that the liability of accident to both pedestrian and au tomobiles was more pronounced at the turning points. That is, in negotiat ing curves the car naturally requires more of the street than at other times. "Municipal traffic officers stationed at principal corners, are able and do prevent autos from driving in the danger sons, but regulation ot pedes trian traffic is more of a problem. Consequently, in the interest of pub lic safety, it is suggested that the space occupied by a car In turning a corner be definitely outlined on the pavement In red and white paint. "We direct your attention, for ex ample, to the Intersection at Second and Madison streets, where west bound cars swerve to the left or south side of Madison street In turn ing north into Second, a rather un usual or unexpected operation, and therefore more hazardous. Normal operation at heavy traffic corners also involves an element of danger and In our opinion benefits would be derived and the liability of accidents minimised if the above suggestions were promptly carried out. Such pre cautions, of course, need not be adopted In the more remote or out side districts." Mr. Buchtel made It plain In his let ter that he referred particularly to the congested area. THREE PRISONERS ESCAPE KELLY BUTTE GUARDS FIRE AT FUGITIVES." Men Climb Rope Over Board Pence and Make Dash Into Brush Under Hail of Shot.

District, If It Cannot Get Bull Ran Supply, Will Make Other Arrangements. Unless Bull Run water can be pro cured from the city of Portland to supply the Powell Valley water dis trict, a private pumping system will be installed. This action was decided on at a recent meeting of members ot the water commission and resi dents of the district. ' It Is estimated that It will cost approximately $5962 to install a pumping system and pipes, and main tenance of the system would cost about $1250 a year. The coet to the district for water if supplied by the city would be about $1500 a year, in addition to the cost of pipe. Members of the city council have refused to enter Into a contract with the district for the sale of Bull Run water until an agreement has been reached with users of the Section Line Water company who are in the proposed Powell valley water dis trict. No agreement has been reached. It was said. Mayor Baker recently ap pointed Fred Bourne to represent the Powell valley district and Will F. Daly to represent the Section Line district in the controversy. The third member of the committee was to have been appointed by these two but as yet has not been selected. SALflHY CUTS PROPOSE! COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BENT OX RETRENCHING. That Pay of Deputies in Various Departments Will Be Lowered Is Held Improbable. One result of a. secret meeting of Multnomah . county e commlasioners Wednesday afternoon became known Thursday when the heads of all county departments received com munications signed by the clerk of the board Informing them that salary cuts affecting their deputies were expected In 1IH2 unlewe a good reason A Co-operative Plan No Strikes Seven-fifty rfc h" Mi) Morrison tt Fourth MAIL ORDERS FILLED SUBECT TO x could be given for maintaining the present schedule. The note was received at the court house as meaning that the county commissioners Intended to "pass the buck" of responsibility for maintain ing present salaries from their shoulders to those of department heads. That any salaries really will be lowered appeared extremely im rrobable after intervlewa with sev eral department chiefs. In part, the commun'eatlon to the county officers affected read: "The policy of the board of county commissioners In making the 1923 budget Is to reduce the salaries of all those deputies who are now re ceiving salaries in excess ot the amounts stipulated to be the maxi mum permitted under the law, unless in each case thj elected head of each department wherein salaries of depu t'es are affected makes lormal state ment, as was done last year, relative to his inability to retain competent help in his department under the conditions- proposed." Last year various classes of depu ties in the employ of several county offices were granted increases ex ceeding the limit fixed by the speci fied law because of an emergency, department heads asserting they could not get competent help for less money. Such a condition still exists, &ay the department heads, and they will make similar "formal state ments" this year. It is believed. They admit tbey could get help in their offices at salaries lower than now are being paid, but assert that it would be impossible for them to get trained and competent workers at lies remuneration.
