He anticipated such an order by flight to Switzerland, Frau Zetkin, in a re- cent speech at Breslau, gave the fol- lowing details of his past: “Hats off to Mandelstamm, twice de- ported to Siberia. Once, on a long march to the icy plains, the convicts, almost without food owing to the em- bezziement of a commissary officer, complained to the commander of the escort, who, lining them.up, said: “Who objects? One man stepped forward, and the officer shot him. Turning pleas- antly to the others the commander in- quired: ‘Has any one efse a wish? A second man stepped out of the line, and the commander shot Lim dead and again asked if any one complained. Mandelstamm said: ‘Yes; I do.’ The of- ficer, overcome by this fearlessness, listened to the protest, and supplied the convicts with food. This was the cour- age of the despised Russian Jew.” —_—————— Oliver Appointed Receiver. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 17.— In the Federal court here to-day W. J.
