SUES FOR SIO00I FROM GOV RUSSELL !jssissippi Execative Faces Seri- ous Charges by Stenographer Jackson, Miss., Sept. 15.—Another chapter in the administration of Lee M. Russell, governor of Mississippi, 18 expected to be written at the term of the Hinds county circuit court, which met today, with the hearing of a suit for $100,000 damages filed by Miss | Frances Cleveland Birkhead, of Nav | stenographer and for- | Orleans, La., mer secretary of Mr. Russell, charg- ing the governor with seduction, breach of promise and responsibility for a criminal operation. The charges made by Miss Birk- head thus far have resulted in a leg- {slative investigation of made by Mr. Russell that the suit was inspired by agents of what he termed ‘‘outlawed” fire eoncerns; the federal court here in which it originally was filed to the state courts when gttorneys for Governor Russell challe{ged the jurisdiction of that federal court, and a recent re-filing of the suit in the United States dis-| trict court at Oxford, the governor's home. As the case now stands it is pend- | ing on the dockets of both the Hinds county court here and the federal court for the northern district of Mispissippi at Oxford. ; % Birkhead charges in her com- plaint that she was betrayed while acting as stenographer at the state capitol, assigned to the office of Mr. ~Russell, then lleutenant-governor; that she was promised that Mr. Rus-| sell would obtain a divorce and mar- ry her and that subsequently she went to Memphis at his instigation and that an operation Jury. Governor Russell has vigorously denied all the allegations made by 'Miss Birkhead; charged that an at- tempt had been made to “blackmail” him; declared that the suit was fos- bbes allegations | insurance | transfer of the suit from| performed | there had resulted in a permanent in- | tered by outside influences and that the complaint was filed at the par- ticular time it was early this year, in an effort to discredit him before the legislature, then in session. The legislative inquiry, which also investigated charges made by the governor that certain fire insurance interests was maintaining a ‘“perni- clous” lobby in Jackson in‘the inter- est of pending legislation, resulted in a committee finding which declared the governor's allegations not proven. The committee was named by the lower branch of the state assembly in response to a request made by Mr. Russell after a proposal to cite him before the bar of the senate in impeachment proceedings—based on the allegations made by Miss Birk- head— had been voted down. Gov- ernor Russell did not appear before the committee but submitted in writ- ing his charges ald outlined circum- stances on which, he explained, he based the allegations. A request that he be permitted to have a representative present at the hearings to cross-examine witnesses was denied by the committee. Governor Russell has charged that alleged animus against him on the part of certain fire insurance con- cerns was due to the filling of anti- trust proceedings asking penalties ag- gregating more than $8,000,000. A wholesale withdrawal of ‘‘foreign” companies from Mississippl followed a chancery court ruling in favor of the state revenue agent who brought the suit. The case now is awaiting a decision by the state supreme court. Dismissal of Miss Birkhead's orig- inal petition in the federal court for the Jackson district was on the grounds that Jackson was merely the official residence of the governor, and that such proceedings should have beeniBronught at Oxford, in another federal” court district’ where Mr. Russell maintains his pérmanent res- idence. Immediately after this rul- ing, the suit was transferred to the state court but was re-filed last month in the federal court as Oxford and service obtained on the govern- or when he went there to vote in the demgqcratic senatorial primary Aug- ust 15. Hearing of the sult in the Oxford federal court has been tentatively set for the December term. China had no foreign debt till 1874.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1922, RUSSIANS TURN TO HORSE RACING FAD Nearly as Popular as National Tea Drinking Custom Moscow, Aug. 20.—Horse racing In Rus nearly as popular in the old days as tea drinking, is slowly coming back. ' There are 80 many race followers in Russia that even during the worlq war it went on about as usual. Not until the revolution came, when the country was almost turned inside out, was racing forced to close down, Four years ago, when racing was actually given up ,millions of persons thought it meant the end of every- thing. But this summer harness racing ba- gan again in Petrograd, Moscow and varlous other cities. Now Russia, or at least the racing fans, are begin- ning to feel that after all the world has started to right itself again, The government conducts the sport; the pari-mutuel system of betting; the concessions at the tracks, and everything in general, and the army helps to keep things going in orderly fashion. “ Soldlers see to it that no one gets in free, and that there are no small boys, nor men, peeping through the fences. A soldleir band furnishes music between races, when the crowd scrambles to place its rubles on its favorite horse. The racing in Moscow goes on three days a week, The track is just at the edge of town, near many fine old residences, now community houses with a tin stove pipe protruding from every other window. All the profits ,as the government announced at the beginning, go toward a fund for the reliet of sufferers in the famine districts. The races are under the direct charge of the Soviet horse department, of which General Brussiloff is the chief. Gen- eral Brussiloff is as well known In Russia for his interest in clean sports as he was as a fighting man Individual horse owners participate in the various events, but the ma- jority af the trotters are owned by the government. Many of the horses were sired by American stallfons. If Russia has her troubles, they are not in evidence at the pavillion. There are more smiling faces and laughter at the races than any other place in Moscow. The track itself is as good as ever, but the block-long grandstand is all run down at the heel ,like so much of Russia. It has not ben painted in seven or eight years, and many of the fixtures have been torn away, for fire wood, perhaps ,in winter. But the crowd is the thing, and there are nearly as many women as men. The latter in general appear- ance are healthy and well fed, and here and there a fat man bobs about in the excitement of winning or los- ing a bet. Many of them wear straw hats and pongee suits, naturally yel- low, but more yellow than ever now with wear and age. ers and the white linen Russian blouses are the popular dress for the men, as they are cool and cheap. The women as a rule are fairly well dressed, as fashions go today in Russia. But none are fat—only a few are even plump. Their dresses are of good material ,in most in- stances pre-war stuff, altered and made over time and again during the years of stress until, if inspected closely, one may see the sewing marks and shadows of the cuts of the pre- vious arrangement. The militiary has a suggestion ot smartness—at a distance. There are still some Parisian styles in Moscow, copied from the books on modes. Many of the women wear diamonds and other jewelry, and sit in boxes quite proudly {indeed, with their ‘‘dope’ books and glasses; smoking the long, paper-stemmed cigarettes, and visiting and gossiping, even as they did in the days “before” when there was nothing in particular to worry about. With the aid of the light summer evenings up here in the north the races ,which are made up of 18 or 20 events, begin at 4 or 5 o'clock, and often it is nearly 9 before the last contest has been run off. Then the crowd breaks for the exits, dashes through the babble of beggars, and starts toward the city of golden- domed churches in antomobiles, bu auto bus, tramway, droshky and by foot, just as the people did in the days of old when Russia was in her prime.
