! Seattle. Wuh Jan. 5. (U. P.)
Forty-two men, women and girls re
ceived cut heads, broken arm and
' bruises at 7:15 o'clock this morning
'-when a Green Lake street car left
the tracks and crashed into a tele
phone pole at North Thirty-ninth
; and Woodlawn Tark avenue.
Although the car wm wrecked and
many Injured passengers were pinned
Under the wreckage, no one was found
dead by the rescue workers.

. Att but one of the Injured have been
' Identified at the various hospitals to
' which they were taken. One woman
- with a crushed skull Ilea at the City
. hospital awaiting Identification.
- Several fractured arms were reported
among- thowe Injured 'but the majority of
the passengers were cut by flying- glass.
According to Motorman M. R. Fuller
rton and Conductor A. F. Corbln, the ae
cldent occurred shortly after Fullerton
loat control of the- streetcar as It was
. running cityward along the North
' Thirty-ninth street curve.
IMPACT IS 1EHR1FIC
The streetcar crashed Into the right
' angle curve at Woodlawn Park avenue,
headed for a telephone pole at that point
but slewed dizzily as the front (rucks
- struck the curb and smashed broadside
v Into the pole. So terrific was the im
' pact that the pole snapped off short and
the streetcar was fairly cut in two.
' That no one was killed outright is
considered miraculous.
According to the injured the car was
"not running at high rate when It left
v the tracks, but was loaded with more
f than 100 passengers, who filled every
' seat and passageway.

- The son Is probably in the rear of
the army, as a merchant's son would not
be taken to the front. He is a bourgeois
and they have not the privilege of fight-
$ng unless they have proven unusually
-- courageous. He Is probably doing office
; work. He would hardly go to the college ,
or university. Most of the universities !
are very poorly attended, as the Red
army and the factories and offices,
which are on a war fooUng, have swal
lowed up all the youngTmen. The law
'departments of the colleges have been i
abolished. I
POOR HIGHER EDCCATIOJC
The best attended of the higher schools I
In Russia are-the medical schools. They
' are not larger than before, but they are
more numerous. Some universities that
' previously had t o medical schools have
them now and new medical schools have
been opened
a.; ! The poorer schools are the higher ones
, and the best are the lower ones. This
la due to the fact that grownup young
men and women are filled with unrest
and cannot settle down to study. They
are only Interested In the events of the
' day. As soon as a youth becomes of
age he gets to work and cannot think
! of a career, as nothing is permanent In
4 Russia He thinks of politics and the
future of Russia. He thinks of the fight
ing and revolution and how soon It will
end. That fronts dominate everything.
Everybody reads the summary of the
-military situation. Nearly all families
have members at the front, but It Is
; not so much the personal interest
In these members as the suffering the
war brings and the hope of the ending
; of the war that brings the war home
: to all classes alike.
- lit is not true that young men are being
kept In the army by threats that their
,. families would be exterminated if they
deserted. Only the old officers are under
the threat of persecution of their families
. In case they betray the Red armies.
SEED EXPERIENCED MEN
The soviet needs officers of the old
regime. They profess loyalty, but some
deaer. and the Red command makes
I those threats tp prevent this. The of-
ficera are needed for taff
because the commanders in the field are
largely graduates of the new military
, schools.
The average family has never enough
to eat. There are markets In Petrograd,
but officially, they are under the gov

try, are arrested, fined and released
again and the following day they re
appear. The demand for food is ter-

rifle. Most of the milk Is bought In
the free markets at exhorbitant price.
The milkman does not go around. There
Is always a shortage of milk, but people
who have money have milk, meat and
bread. i
The most popular article of food In
Russia, because it lis the, cheapest, is
cabbage. It la selling at about 10 rabies
a pound (normally fS, actually JO cents.)
Potatoes come next . In cheapness and
popularity. Most people eat very little
or no meat at alt. Only those" who are
fortunate enough to be able ,to . spend
150 rubles per pound can-have meat. In
spite of thr-fact that the bourgeoise bo
longs to the third and fourth category
and are supposed to receive but a fourth
or an eighth of a pound of bread dairy,
they are better off than the working
men, even now, localise they have money
left over or can easily realise big money
by selling their household articles, where
as the workman has not enough to
spend much money on such luxuries as
meat, butter and eggs.
MONET IS DEPRECIATED
-Rubles are still the current money in
Russia, although the ruble has depre
ciated In some instances a thousand per
cent. A pound of salt In PKrograd, for
Instance, which cost before the war two
kopeks, is now 800 rubles. Peasants come
to the city, bring: their produce and ex
change them for such articles as salt
and sugar, which the soviet institu
tions supply to the workmen of the first
category on cards. This is only one
Instance of the widespread speculation
going on in Russia among the city and
country people.
Suppose there Is a baby In the fam
ily. It gets free medical attention, free
clothes, the attention of a visiting nurse,
milk and everything it needs. Babies
are better taken care of in Russia than
any other clasa of the population.
There is no difference between the
bourgeois and workman's child in the
treatment they receive from the govern
ment. Under the age of 1. everybody
in Russia receives food free, even if
they are able to pay for it. They must
have a certificate showing their age
in order to get the daily rations at the
food stores.
ADVANCE TIME THREE HOURS
All children must go to school, where
they are also fed twice a day. There
is a child labor taw that limits the age
at which children may begin work, but
child labor Is not entirely extinct In
Russia, because of the extraordinary
shortage of labor. One often finds boys
under 16 as apprentices in spite of the
soviet law.
The evenings are very short In Russia
in the summer on account of the day
light saving law, which advanced the
clock three hours, so when people go to
work at 10 o'clock. It Is actually 7. In
the winter the clock Is moved back, but
,not to the normal time, so even now
it is about one and a half hours ahead
of the sun. At :S0 or 7 in the evening
the theatres open, closing at 10. Most
of the workmen spend their evenings
either attending lectures, meetings, the
atres or the opera in the big cities.
There is universal military training in
Russia, and everybody, male and fe
male, devotes a day or a couple
of evenings every week to drilling. Even
people who are phj sically unfit drill
Just the same. On account of this, the
first Impression the new arrival gets of
Russia is one of a vast military camp.
Civilian dress is rare In the cities, al
though the military dress Is not always
uniform.

INCREASE SHOWN
III STATE OUTPUT
Government's Estimate Shows
Decrease in Gold and Lead
Productionf However.
A preliminary estimate Of the
production of metals in Oregon In
1919, compiled by Charles O. Tale,
of the San Francisco office of the
United States geological survey, de
partment of the interior, shows a
decrease in the gold and lead pro
duced but an increase la the silver
and coppers
According to the mines report the out
put of gold In 1918 was 11.270,465 and
the estimated output in 1919 is $1,072,661,
a decrease of about $197,804. The output
of silver in 1911 was 107,329 fine ounces,
valued at 9107,323 ; in 1919 it was 211,523
fine ounces, valued at $234,790. The out
put of copper in 1918 was 2,451,01$
pounds, valued at $605.401 ; in 1919 it was
2.638,714 pounds, valued at 8501,355, an
Increase In quantity of 187.6S8 pounds
and a decrease In value of $104,046. The
output of lead in 1911 was 10,601 pounds,
valued at $753; the output In 1919 was
2000 pounds, valued at $114, a decrease In
quantity of 8601 pounds and In value of
$639.
LOW WATER CUTS POWER
The decrease In the gold output of the
state was due to some extent to the scar
city of skilled labor and the increase'th
Its cost and to war conditions generally
but was due mainly to scarcity of water
and power for hydraulic, dredge, and
deep mines. The water in the streams of
the state was so low during the last two
months of the year that hydroelectric
power was entirely cut off from large
properties. Including the dredges, being
furnished for domestic use only.. The
larger dredges were shut down in No
vember and December for lack of power,
so that the dredges of the state, which
ordinarily produce 57 per cent Of the
placer gold and 22 per cent of the total
gold, produced, combined, only $301,900,
or $85,840 less than In 1918, a decrease of
22 per cent. The larger deep mines were
similarly affected. Direct returns from
all the dredging companies and the
larger deep mines of the state show a
general falling off in the output of gold
for the-year.
MAJfT MIXES IDLE
. Returns from inquiries to postmasters,
merchants, dust-buyers and others reveal
the fact that many mines In Oregon were
idle during 1919. Higher wages in other
industries attracted miners away from
their regular operations, and costs were
so high that the smaller mining opera
tions were unprofitable.
Most of the Oregon placers are worked
by the hydraulic syatem, but the gold
output of the dredges is greater than
that of all other forms of placer mining
combined.
There are only about 100 producing
metal mines in Oregon and six or these
produce 80 per cent of the total output
of all the metals mined In the state, and
one of them produces 25 per cent of the
total value of the metals produced. These
six mines are those of the Baker Mines
company. Cornucopia Mines company,
Homestead-Iron Dyke company and the
commercial Mining comoanv. nil in
Baker county, and the Qu een of Rrnnu
Mining company in Josephine county.
The only placer mine in this group la the
ruwuer niver uoia Dredging company.
COPPER OUTPUT INCREASED
The larger copper companies of th
state, which are in Baker and JoaAnhin
counties, show some increase in output
wurm me year, notwithstanding un
favorable conditions. The most produc
wuny in me amie in an metals IS

been produced in Oregon during- the last
two years than In 1917, the average value

increasea about 80 cents per ton. The

operas. All witnesses were sworn at
the opening of court.
SMILES AT CROWD i
The diva chatted vivaciouslv with her
attorneys and smiled graciously on the
crowded room. A solicitous maid fol
lowed her every movement, casting
querulous glances at open windows and
adjusting the fur cloak to shield her
mistress from chance drafts.
Luigt Galll-Curci was not present, but
his attorneys presented his retraction
and his request that his own bill be
withdrawn.
"He believed the charges of infidelity
to be true when he made them," Galli
Curcl's attorneys told Judge McDonald.
"He contested the suit with the idea
that he might win back his wife's af
fections. He believed his charges true
when he made them, but later discov
ered" they were not.
PETITION IS DENIED
"He also believes his wife will find
her charges against him are untrue and
that he never was unfaithful to her.
Property disputes now in New York
courts can be settled out of court, he
believes."
The petition was denied.
A deposition by Maestro Campaninl,
who died two weeks ago, was Introduced
early.
The first witnesses said nothing In
support of the singer's charge that her
husband was guilty of infidelity. They
told how fond she was of Chicago and
Intended to make It her permanent
home.
COURTROOM CROWDED
Following the hearing Mme. Galll-
Curcl appeared very happy, and smiled
while the other opera stars and spec
tators who crowded the. courtroom shook
ker hand in congratulation.
"I am very happy that I am to have
my divorce," she told those who crowded i
about her in the courtroom. She spoke
Kngllsh with but a slight accent, al
though she has lived in this country but
a few years.
"I am through with men for many,
many years," she declared.
On the witness stand the diva ap
peared calm and gave concise, straight
forward answers to all questions. She
toyed with "tails" on her muff while she
talked.
COMPLETE TINDICATION
Judge McDonald ordered attorneys
for the opera star to draw up the de
cree and instructed them to stipulate
Curci was to have ao property division
under the order.
The hearing- waa nearly as much of a
triumph for Mme. Qalll-Curci as her
appearance on the opera stage. It
opened with complete vindication of her
conduct, charges of infidelity by her
husband being withdrawn. He declared
they were untrue and that he made
them only with the desire of regaining
her affections.

Commoner Says He Plans to
Speak "More Fully"? Urges
Compromise Treaty Ratification
William Jennings Bryan can not
come to Portland to address the
Jackson club January 8, when it has
Its Jackson day dinner, but he in
tends to speak "more fully" of what
is In his mind at Washington on
that date and -occasion, according to
a telegram received this morning
by Elton Watklns. president of the
local organization.
An Invitation was extended to Mr.
Bryan to deliver an address in Port
land on the evening of the Jackson day
celebration and banquet, now being ar
ranged by the Jackson club. In answer
to that invitation, he wires:
TAVOBS TREATY COMPROMISE
"I appreciate the Invitation and am
sorry I cannot attend the banquet. The
Democratic party has a great oppor
tunity, but, while opportunities wisely
used are stepping stones to success op
portunities neglected are millstones
about the party's neck. The treaty, should
be ratified by compromise and all Dem
ocratic Issues squarely met. I will
speak more fully at Washington."
Mr. Watkns has also received a tele
gram from Herbert Hoover, who was
invited to address the Jackson club, In
which Hoover makes definite announce
ment of the fact that he will not be a
candidate for president, as the nominee
of any party.
HOOTER NOT A CANDIDATE
"My engagements and connection with
the Industrial conference and with relief
In Europe," he says, "make It impos
sible for me to go to the Northwest at
present. Beyond this, please accept the
sincerity of my statement that I am not
a candidate for the presidency, and a
campaign to that end from any party
would be entirely wrongly directed."
James W. Gerard, former ambassa

at being unable to address the Jackson

speakers at the Washington dinner. Hef
promises to telegraph a message to the

Herbert -Hoover win be unable to

FOR HIS DEFENSE
Ex-Emperor Is Among 1500 That
Allies Demand Extradicted and
Indicted , for Cruelty in War.
By Frank Matoa -
(CopjffsM, 1S20. InUrotMetuLl w Serrlre)
Berlin. Jan. 6. (I. N.S.) Ger
many's greatest International law
yer, Johannes W. Kreige, doctor of
jurisprudence, has been selected to
lead the counsel for the defense of
William llohensollern, the former
kaiser. if extradited from Holland,
and placed on trial before an inter
national tribunal.
Dr. Kreige was said today by royal
ists to be in close touch with the ex-
emperor at Amerongen.
The monarchists seek to give the im
pression that the ex-kalser is not
thinking of the possibility of being tried
and has taken the attitude that "he
will not cross the bridge until he comes
to It." Nevertheless, it was learned
from, an authentic source that Dr.
Kreige is already advising the former
emperor as to his defense In the event
that Holland gives him up. .
EBERT ASKS REVISION
President Ebert has sent a letter to
Premier Clemenceau asking for a re
vision of the peace treaty terms re
garding the extradition of William and
threatening to retire from the presi
dency of Oermany if the allies persist
"ruthlessly" in carrying out iheir de
mands, according to Information from a
confidential but well-informed source.
This letter ia said to have been dis
patched on Friday.
Germany already haa received a list
of names of persons whom the allies
seek to extradite for trial. The list,
which came through neutral diplomatic
sources, contains the names of 1500 per
sons. Including 300 private soldiers.
(iKHHAS LEADER BALKS
Socialist leaders, for political rea
sons have willingly discussed the de
livery of officers of the old regime for
trial, but the discovery that some of
the 300 were Socialists themselves
proved a bombshell.
President Ebert is said to have in
formed Premier Clemenceau that the
German government could not attempt
to carry out the delivery of all the per
sons wanted.
