John Vaweliff, the Ruseiaa wk is

wards the bolshevik ideas. However,
there was found ia bis possession a
booklet issued by the official bolshe
vik social nt government whith he
claims was distributed among working
men ia Portland.
The tiooklet is entitled: "Constitu
tion of the .Russian federated so v iff
republio," and is the complete consti
tution of what the socialists axe work
ing far in Russa.
According .to this document carried
about by the Russian, the laud owners
in Russia are in hard luck just as f he
farmers ia this valley would be in hud
luck should the boL&evik doctrine ever
become effective here. For here is sec
tion A of chapter 2, of the constitu
tion of the soviet government:
"For the purpose of realising the so
cialisation ot the land, all privsfa prop
erty in land is abolished, and the en
tire laud is deolared to be national
property, and is to be apportioned
Smong the husbandmen without auy
compensation to the former owners, in
the measure of each one's ability fo
till it." .
The Russian said that the printed
copy of the 'Russian constitution trans
lated into English, has been distribut
ed freely in Portland and fhat the
teachings of socialism were being push
ed iby the bobhevik element of Rus
sia. However, while spending his 60 days
iu the oounty jail, John Vasseliff put"
in the time in scrubbing the jail flours,
washing windows and cleaning the
iron 'bars of the jail. He cannot read

Wilson Rumored Ready To Ac

(United Presi taff correspondent)
Washington, July 24. Uisnuwion of
the possibility that William Howard
Tati m .iifrirnatinn fnv 0XllnnntlrV res
ervation to the peace treaty may pro
vide a compromise by which the pact
will ibe ratified, was general today in
congressional circlet.
The former president's friends pre
dicted that his program will become the
basie of an arrangement acceptable to
President Wilson. This forecast had
two promises. '
First That Taft, next to Wilson,
has been the most consistent support
er of the league of nations thus giving
his suggestions great weight anion ad
ministration leaders.
Second The increasing belief that
the president ia gradually approaching
a mood for acceptance of explanations
or interpretations, so as not to endan
ger the ratification of tho treaty.
All of the president's republican call
ers, including those who saw him yes
terday, declared they carried away the
distinct Impression that, while he is
not encouraging fhe domtwd for reser
vations, ho will not seriously object to
mere explanation or interpretations.
There was imiie disposition to be
lieve,, however, that Taft' program
will not ,bc acceptable ss a whole. But
on certain point, if was hold by many
senators to lie the first suggestion of
a middle of the road course between
drastic reservations, amounting to
amendment, and unqualified accept
ance of tho treaty.
