Belsheviki Massacre
1„000 Before They Flee
From Yetaterinoslav
By Associated Press.
Coiistantinoplo. via London, Spt.
♦.—More than 1.000 persons were exe
cuted by the Bolsheviki before they |
evacuated Yetaterinoslav in Southern
Russia, according to a dispatch re
ceived here from that city. The dis
patch gives an account of the massa
cres as described by a physician who
was a physicical expert at the open- ;
ing of the pits into which the bodies j
of these victims had been thrown after!
their execution. This physician. Dr.
Robin, declares the victims' heads had [
been crushed with hammers and their I
bodies badly mutilated. Many of !
them, he says, were found with broken
legs and ribs, caused by blows with
sledge hammers, specimens of which I
were found in the vicinity. •
The physician tells of one officer J
who missed being struck by the firing ,
squad, and then, by simultating death. :
escaped the Bolsheviki who came!
along bayonetting the wounded.
The Bolshevik orgar.zations in the
city had been headed by a workman i
named Yaliavka and various Chinese. |
the report ads. and the principal posts
of the Soviet administration underj
them were in the hands of young men !
and women. Wholesale pillaging is j
declared to have occurred in the town j
before its evacuation.
The evacuation of Yekaterinoslav by |
the Bolsheviki apparently occurred )
more than two months ago. A Russian I
wireless dispatch from Moscow on July
1. which reported the capture by the
Cossacks of Kharkov, announced also
that the Bolsheviki had lost Yekater
inoslav, 115 miles southwest of
Kharkov.

ENGINEERS STAND I
BY GRAND CHIEF
Endorse His Action on High
Living Cost at Fifth
Sunday Meeting
Local engineers who attended the
! fiifth Sunday meeting at Olean, X.
| Y., have returned. It was a great j
I session. Questions now before Con- !
| sress were discussed. There was a J
: difference of opinion on the Plumb !
j plan for control of .railroads. Some
j engineers refused to be committed
| on this question, while others were
1 in favor of it.
The next lifth Sunday meeting
will be held at Wilmington, Del., on
j November 30. It will be the last for
; this year. The lirst meeting In 19 20
; will be held in Harrisburg on Feb
: ruary 29. It will be leap year and
this is why February will have five
! Sundays.
Endorse Grand Chief
The engineers discussed the ef
forts of the government to reduce
the high cost of living and also the
labor situation of to-day. A reso
lution was unanimously adopted by i
the meeting endorsing the action '
taken by Grand Chief Stone in re
gard to President Wilson's move
ment for a reduction in the high
! cost of living and that if such is
i not accomplished within a reason
able length of time that it is the j
1 sense of the meeting that a demand )
in pay be made to overcome the :
high living prices.
The social features in connection !
1 with the meeting were cut short by j
, reason of street car trouble in the j
i city of Olean. There was however, a ;
, banquet served under the auspices ,
of the G. I. A. to the B. of L. E. that j
! was highly enjoyed and proved very
entertaining. There were twenty- j
; eight divisions represented, being ;
; from New York. Pennsylvania, Del- I
aware, Ohio, West Virginia and
' Maryland.

Veteran Engineer Dies
at His Home in Reading
Rending. Sept. 4.—Harrison B.
Lewis, a well-known resident of thi3
city and for many years a locomo
tive engineer on the Reading Rail
way, died at his home yesterday.
Had he lived until to-day he would
have celebrated his 78th birthday
anniversary.
Deceased was born at Hecla,
Schuylkill county. September 4,
IS4I. Twenty years later he entered
I the railway service and served eon
i tinuously for thirty years. He was
I a member of the Brotherhood of
I Locomotive Engineers. having
joined the organization in this city
fifty-five years ago.
During the Civil War Mr. Lewis
served nine months in Company B,
One Hundred and Twenty-eighth
Regiment, under Captain William
McXall. He participated In the
battles of South Mountain, Antietai.i
and Chancellorsville. After serving
the term of enlistment the regiment
was mustered out of the service and
Mr. Lewis returned to the railway
service.
In IS9I, while running a locomo
tive on the main line of the Read
ing, Mr. Lewis was struck on the
head by McCorrpick's bridge, north
of Auburn. The injuries sustained
j by him were of a character that he
was compelled to retire from the
service. Since then he has been
living retired.
Short Working Hours Is
Tying Up Car Equipment
Rending. Sept. 4.—The curtail
ment of working hours has brought
i about a eondition that is causing
I considerable alarm among the rail
road officials. The trouble is due
to a lack of production. When the
men worked ten hours a day there
was no trouble in keeping up the
; repairs to machinery and cars. To
] day the railroads are unable to sup
pl> more than sixty per cent, of
oars for the trade. The Reading
alone has thousands of shop cars
nere and sidetracked on the system.
This :s a condition that unless rem
edied is apt to greatly Interfere with
the traffic during the fall and win
tor.

Out With Strong Lineup
Oberlin A. C. held their first foot
ball practice last evening followed by
a blackboard talk by coaches "Buss"
and Paul Rupp. In the backfleld will
be Harry Shearer at halfback and
Earl Hanshaw at fullback, both hav
ing played with their respective regi
ments of the 79th Division.
The other halfback position will be
filled by Ralph Bishop. The selection
for quarterback will be Chester Shuey.
The latter two are former athletes of
Oberlin High school. The candidates
for end are Earl Stepp. Harvey
Aungst, Paul Chrismor, Clinton Fin
ney and George Ilildebrand.
Chrismer starred on one of the lead
ing elevens of the 28th Division, and
Aungst was one of the popular ath
letes of Kelly Field. The other three
had considerable experience on some
of the best amateur teams during the
last four years.
The tackles will be selected from
Harry Long. Mike Gustin and Joe
Gu st in. The choice guards will be
Harry Hanshaw and Ira Caesell. Paul
Hooker will appear at center. He is
one of the best offensive men on the

Klein Team Is Winner in

I/Pwls'obh, Pa., Sept. 4. —The
Klein Chocolate team of Elizabeth
town shut out the strong Yeagertowu
team in a twilight game last even
ing by a score of 10-0, the visitors
holding their opponents to no-nit
game until the ninth inning when
they gave them two hits and a
chance to score. It was a plain case
of stage fright from the first in
ning, the players admitting as they
returned to the bench in regulat
order that Ritter had nothing up
his sleeve but an "in" and even that
wasn't bad. Albright pitched a win
ning game, keeping the hits scatter
ed, two being the limit in any ono
inning, but his support was bad
throughout the entire game. Man
ager Brackenridge pulled his usual
stunt of getting the opponents'
pitcher to toss him the ball for ex
amination without the umpire call
ing time, which permitted one run
to score in the third inning. Scoie

It was expected that President

ROBERT HARRON'S FIRST SALARY
YOI XG MOVIE STAR OXCE
WORKED FOR A WEEK
Prom a weekly wage of $5 to one ]
of the largest salaries paid to any !
leading man in motion pictures, is the !
metamorphosis of earning power in
the career of Robert Harroh, the bril
liant young actor discovered by D.
h • Grifiith, who will be seen here
when "The Mother and the Law." is
shown at the Victoria ail next week. '
coming direct from the George M I
Cohan theater. New York.
Robert Harron—or "Bobby," as he !
is fr. mi liar)*- known to his associatos 1
at the Griffith studio—has been in!
pictures less than ten years, and in I
the last four years of that period has |
risen with remarkable rapidity from
Just a good actor" to a position of 1
supreme promineuce in several of the
greatest productions in the history I
01 the screen.
"I was going to a parochial school."
lie says, "and one day 1 asked the l
Brother to let nie know the next time :
lie heard of a place for a boy. A little
later the Brother sent me around to
the Biograph studio. The man in j
charge put me to work in the cutting
room at a salary of $5 a week."
Mr. Harrier remained at the old Bio- I
graph studio until K \V. Griffith, at- 1
traded by his facial expressions, de
cided to give hint an opportunity as I
an actor. The result was that Mr. I
Griffith took the young man to Cali- I
fornia when he departed from New
York to produce "The Birth of a Na
tion." and gave him a prominent part'
in that tremendous production.
"Bobby" Barron's splendid ability \
as a film star has been demonstrated
ir> "Intolerance," "Hearts of the j
World." and In his present medium.
"The Mother and the Law," in which
h-> will lie seen here with Mae Marsh, ■
Miriam Cooper. Ralph Lewis. Walter i
Lone and the big east of players)
prominent in this Griffith success. j
"Fatty" Arbuckle has recovered'
from what had every appearance r>f >
being a severe attack of appendicitis!
and a session with surgeon was,
threatened. Luckily his splendid con- j
stitution and recuperative powers en-j
abled him to avoid both and he is!
back on the job again none the worse |
for wear, but with the memory of a!
Very painful week in bed. This has I
delayed, somewhat, the work on his
comedy for Paramount. "Back Stage,"
but it is believed that a few more
days of active work will see the pic
ture practically finished.

"Lock" is making an aerial melo
drama. "The Winged Trail," under

hates the name so badly it is the sane
as o!tiering a wooden overcoat to call
him that.
"I can't call you 'O. L,'" Jaccard
remonstrated, "because visitors will
think I'm swearing. And 1 don't want
to hail you as 'Loot' for Director Dow
lan is producing Arthur Somers
Roche's story by that name. 1 guess
I'll have to call you 'Lock.' "
Under the working title. 'A Man's
Money," Charles Ray has just started
work on a now picture for Para
mount-Artcraft release, at the Thom
as H. Ince studios in Culver City. This
story is by Julien Josephson, the pro
lific young writer who has conceived
so many of Charles Ray's greatest
successes in the past. In the support
ing cast are Gladys George. Charles
Mailles, William Conklin and Mollic
Met'onnell.
