EX-SLEUTH GOES ON WITH IS ACCUSING Insists Detective Agencies Faked Threatening Letters Chicago, eb, 14, (By Associated Press, —Charges that a letter sent to the postmaster of New York eity in Osgtober, 1920, threatening to kill him and blow up the Woolworth build. ing, was_inspired by an official of the W. J. Burns deteclive agency, were made yesterday by Albert Ballin, alias Balanow, confessed spy and agent @provocateur, continuing his sworn deposition for use by the d fense in the trial of twenty-two al. leged communists at St Joseph, Mich,, February 26, Halanow under questioning by ttorney for the d fendants, also char that Charl Seuly, heady of the radical bureau of the rtment of justice in New York, was in the employ of Burns and sold him seoret papers from the files of Willlam J, Flynn, former chief of the department of justice bureau of investigation, which posi- tion Burns now occupies, Halted by Fxplosion, Taking of Balanow's sworn state. ment was halted shortly before noon when a premature explosion of flash light powder belng used by a news- paper photographer wrecked the of+ fice of Willlam Cunnes, Soclalist can- didate for mayor, where the h is being held. § ' Miss Ida Sllverman, court eommis- sloner before whom'the deposition is belng made, was seriously injured; the right arm of Nicholas McDonald, the photographer, was blown off, and Wil- liam Cunnes, Jr.,, was slightly injured by flying glass. All the windows of the office suite were blown out and many val le papers destroyed. Mr, Walsh, Bala- now, #. L. Smith, assistant attorney generad of Michigan, Charles W. Gore, prosecuting attorney of Berrien coun- ty, Michigan, and Max Burger, for- mer department of justice agent, who ‘were posing for the picture, were so badly shgken it was necessary to postpone the session until tomorrow. It was also feared that some of Bala- now's private papers and documents which were to be used as evidence had been destroyed. Sent Anonymous Letter. Balanow. in his testimony, swore that Allan O. Meyers, head of the radical department of the Burns agency, had him whiler employed as a Burns operative, go to the office of the Thiel agency, where he was formerly employed, and write the letter to New York postmaster on a ' Thiel typewriter. The letter read “We will not tolerate . any longer unless you free all the political and industrial prisoners or we will kill you this time for good. We mean business this time all right. We are going to blow up the Woolworth building this time unless you free all the prisoners mentioned hereon above, “The'Nights of The Red Star. “American Anagehist Fighters, New York. “Oct., 1920.” The letter, Balanow testified, was mailed to the New York postmaster on October 19, 1920. The Burns office in New York is in the Wool- worth building. Balanow swore that Meyers later had him go to the I. W. W. head- quarters and write an illliterate let- ter, apparently from one radical to another, and then mail it to Meyer‘s. the letter was intended, he said, to show the similarity between the mispelling of the two. Flynn Employe Sold Out. After he was dismissed from the Burns agency, he continued, he wrote W. J. Flynn, then head of the department of justice bureau of investigation, making charges against the Burns office. Later, he said, h instituted court ‘action to recover .pri- vate papers, which the Burns agency, he said, hafl refused to give up, and when the papers were obtained on a subpoena he found among tham pho- tostatic coples of all his reports to Flypn.: He swore that Chgrles Sculy, of the New York office of the depa ment of justice, was in Burns’' e ploy and sold the papers from TFlynn's files to Burns. COMMUNISM THREATENS EXTINCTION OF CHURCH Frank P, W § | Russian Peasantry Casting Religion to Wind and Begin Actual Destruction Moscow, Ieb, 16, — Communism amotig the Russian peasantry is said gl by Soviet officials to be on the in- | crease. As evidence of this it is point. ed out that great numbers of peasants have openly assumed an anti-religious attitude in various parts of the coun- try. Not only has Christmas been “abol- ished as a holiday by the peasant vil- lagers in different sections, but in some instances, it is announced, de- struction of churches has actually be- gun. Many wooden houses of wor- ship have been torn down, in sections where timber is scarce, and the ma- terial used as fire wood in the homes of the peasants who, in the days of the Czars, would have considered anything of the sort violently sa- crilegious, In the Bouzolouk district récently the peasants of several villages de- cided to sell the church bells, and with the pr®ceeds purchase horses for their farms. 8 Several churches are to be de- | molished in the Borisoglebsk region | and the brick and other materials sold to the highest bidders. The money de- rived from the sale of the church wproperty is to be divided among the peasants, who have pledged them- chinery. A recent articles in the newspaper Pravda, of Moscow, pointing to the extinction of the church gn Russia, reads in part as folows; “Having done with splitting the church, the time has now come for us to destroy. In Soviet Russia there is no plage for church reform, and we must complete liquidation of the selves to purchase agriculture ma- 1 of & Boviet church. We must sweep the chureh out of our path, for it retards progress toward culture® NEW HIGH MARK Customs Revenue n China, Despite Politiosl Chaos Which Prevall, Reaches New Fecord for Year, Peking, Feb, 16.—In spite of the political chaes that prevalls in China, her maritime eustoms revenuc touchs ed a w high mark for 1922, The annual repot of inspector general of customs shows that the ineome from this source was 08,600,000 hai- kual taels (10,987,600 pounds sterl. ing at the prevailing rate) being an increase over the previous record eol. lection, that for 1921 of 4,100,000 taels, Owing to the drop in exchange rates the gold equivalent of the 1922 colleetion is enly 215,235 pounds sterling above that for 1921, All for. eign loans and indemnity obligations secured by the customs collection, as well as those of a domestic character for whieh the inspector general is go. aponsible, are announced to have been fully satisfied, The revenue from native customs under the inspector general's control showed a decrease of 200,000 pounds sterling.
