By the Associated Press: 3 WARSAW, December 14.— Reports have reached the Polish government that Polish refugees from Russia are {dying by scores from exposure to the extremely cold weather. Among the victims are said to be many women and children who were frozen to death on their way from Russia in unheated cars. The number of refugees arriving at Baranowicze, near the frontier, is said to average 6,000 a day. Since last Sunday, when the cold spell be- gan, officials estimate that thirty per- sons have died every day at Barano- wicze alone, either on the trains or soon after their arrival at the refu- gees' camp. One instance was reported of four- teen found frozen in one freight car. Polish officials accused the soviet govermment of neglect, alleging that the bolsheviki started the Polish ref- ugees across the frontier in cars of all kinds, none of which were heated. school teach- Bertillion detective bu- | Westmoreland a in "unraveling the testified to the searc ng for rints on the toy box containing the loody cap and coat.
