CRIMES OF DETECTIVES IN AGENCIES PARADED IN HEARING IN CHICAGO CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—(By The Asso ciated Press.)}—Further revelations cf crimes alleged to have been com- mitted by officials and operatives of two national detective agencies were paraded today in a bewildering array when Albert Ballin, alias Albert Balanow, continued his deposition for the defense in the Michigan com- munist case. Under the questioning of Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the 22 defendants, Balanow swore that the deteltive agen: were guilty of everything from faking false reports in an effort to help the Chicago pack. “frame” members of the federal le commission, to bribery, burg- lary and safe robbery. According to his sworn story !t ap- peared that a large number of the best known radical leaders in the country were private detectives in disguise, and that as agents provaca- tures they inspired much of the radical activity in the United States.

Russell of Great Falls, Mont., whose sale of a painting to the Prince of Wales for $10,000 which has caused comment, was early known as “the cowboy artist" and is rated as the best painter of western scenes living today. His paintings are full of life, correct to the slightest detall, and represent a time in the west which has passed. Mr. Russell lived in Mon- tana since he was eleven years old, coming here from St, Louls, Mo alone as a boy, and worked at cow punching on the ranges for many years. He lved with the od Indians north of the line two years and knows the Indian of the old days jn detail. While riding the Muasellehell range in the middle 80's as cowboy for a Helena cattle firm Ruesell would frequently send the firm drawings instead of writing. This winter wes the one which prac tically wiped out the range business In Montana for a time and Russell sent in the picture of a cow standing humped in the snow, att with a coyote waiting for her to die, and under it the legend “The Last 6,000"; the picture was drawn h a pencil, but it made Russell, famous in the west over night, and thereafter he followed painting as a vocation, mixing h's own paints.and being his own teacher, Dr. Seward Webb, New York millionaire met Russell in Great Fis shortly after and got the latter to go to New York to study painting as his protege; Russell remained in New York about A month, returning to the west and going on with his work.

He was to produce a picture that would stand out among the others of the year ds something different, some- thing big. The main thrill of the pro. duction is a forest fire which entirely envelops and burns up a good sized town. Through the flames and smoke the hero drives a locomotive to rescue the people of the vi'lage. An entire village was burned for the sequences. ‘This village was especially. built for Vitagraph in a deserted place where danger of a big conflagration which could not be checked was remote, and then it was entirely destroyed by fire, the big thrill of the picture. Warner. Baxter, the hero, did not escape dan. ger. He drove a locomotive through a furnace of burning timber. ‘The heat scorched his hair, and at times tt seemed as though he wou'd be burned before he could get out of the swirling. | seething mass of flame. But all this added to the realism, and when the picture was finished those who saw it declared tHat it was well worth the cost in trouble.
