New York, July 26. -- Evidence | that Bolshevism had been preached by Russian missionaries in many parts of the world, including the United States and South America, long be- fore it triumphed in Russia in No- vember, 1917, was given at yester- day's session of the joint legislative committee which is investigating se- ditious activities In this state by Ven Svaro, a Cleveland lawyer, Mr. Svaro is a native American who was a mem- ber of a Czecho-Slovak commission, which went to Russia in July, 1917, to organize the Czecho-Slovak sol- diers. On his way to Russia by way of Japan and Viadivostok, Mr, Svaro sald he met a number of Russians re- turning from Argentina, who were violent partisgns of bolshevism, Later in Russia he met similar missionar- ies, two of whom had lived in New York, for nine years and others who + had lived in London and various Eur- opean countries. Svaro gave it as his opinion that not 10 per cent. of the people of Russia were followers of Lenine and Trotzky from conviction. Trotzky, according to the witness, is devoting his entire energies. at present to the organization of the Bolshevist army, and has evolved an ingenious system of terrorism to force loyalty among tHe officers. Mr. Sviiro said the officers, the majority of whom held commissions in the old imperial army, are grouped in units of five. If one member of such a unit deserts or is guilty df any other defection in military duty, his four comrades are shot and their families proscribed. x The school for propaganda which is maintained by the Bolshevists in . Moscow for the trafning of mission- aries for foreign countries, was de- Clared: by 'the witness to be almost \ completely controlled by Russians who had lived in the United States and i Fuglish speaking coun- tries. Mr. Svaro remained in Rus- sia from July, 1917, to February, 1818. For the last six months he ' has been in Prague and while there said that he had met numbers of re- from Russia, who gave him + detailed information in regard to present conditions in that country. -------------------- THE OLD, OLD STORY.

Boston, July 26--It is possible that on every golf links in the state Sun- day playing will be forbidden by the State Police authorities in the near future. This state of affairs will be brought about by the indignant members of two Holyoke golf clubs who were for- bidden to play Sunday by members of the State Police following com- plaint by" Rev. Martin D. Kneeland, of Winchester, president of the Lord's Day League. Holyoke golfers are determined to complain to the State Police authori- ties that golf is being played on Sun- day in other e¢ities and towns of Mas- sachusetts and they will present evi- dence to substantiate their com- plaints. The motive of the Holyoke golfers in tying up Sunday playing throughout the state is to force ac- tion on the Sunday golf issue and compel the Legislature to make such playing legal. Se Not only Sunday golf wis put un der the ban in Holyoke, but Sanday was forbidden also. For first Sunday in ten seasons the monds used by the local ainateur clubs were deserted. FER Se FORD NOT AT FAULT FOR OWNERS' ACTS Neither Is It "Dangerous to the Public"--Decision of Judge Ray. Utica, N.Y... July 26~-Federal Judge Ray, in a decision handed down to-day, said that a Ford cant be compared with a vicious bell or other animal, or "the cause of a nuisance," that it "is of itself harm- less and of considerable value," nor is it "dangerous to the public." He says that a Ford cannot be blamed for bringing to the United States, 14 packages of spirits, because it does not "do the thing of #s own volition." The opinion was filed in the et- fort of Robert Tourville, of Frank- Hin county, to 'secure 14 packages of spirits and his Ford which he had 'the prohibition aw. He con- tended that as he had been fined $50 for the offense, it would be punishing Bhim twice for the same offense, to keep his property. Judge Ray held that the government should destroy the spirits but. give the claimant his Ford. - High Cost of the report of an auction sale which took place at Willlam Brice's, con- cords of hardwood cut lengths, brought the record price of cord. : Storm Damages Halifax Houses.

He alleged that there is a power- ful ring of drug smugglers in Wind- sor, with a'Chinese cafe proprietor as chief. He urged that the Wind- sor police seize every such proprie- tor and lock them up: while their premises were searched.

Some months ago a Special committee was named to consider the question of the after-the-war mili- tia establishment. This conimittes 1s now at work and will probably be in a position to make a report to the Minister of Militia within a few weeks. In connection with the organiza- tion of the militia forces on a new and permanent basis, it is proposed to perpetuate the names and tradi tions of all the best-known militia regiments before the war, as well = the names of regiments which rend- ered distinguished service in the war. The committee before making fits report will consult the people of the Cities, towns and. districts through- out the Dominfen with a view to to t names to be borne by the volunt military units to be raised in thefe communities, ; By wo doing it is uiiderstood that a plan satisfactory to the great ma- jority of people cai be worked out.
