was put In prison three times while
he was In Moscow, he declared, but
was never kept longer than one night.
In Odessa, however, Rubin did not
fare as well, for he was forced to
spend seven weeks In a Jail at the
orders of General Denlklne, who
accused him of being a spy for the
Bolshevlkl. He was arrested on Oct.
14, 1919—Just a few days after he
landed and was sentenced to be shot
on Jan. 24. Some weeks before the
threatened execution, the American
ambassador obtained bis release.
Telling of living conditions In the
Soviet capital, Rubin said that all
houses were nationalized, even the
large, costly mansions of the well-to-
do. Every workingman, he said, must
go to the housing commission for an
application for rooms. If he has a
wife and one child he Is permitted to
have only one room; If his family
consists of five, two rooms are given
