ONE-TIME GIANT NOW WEAKLING AMONG FELONS Every Bone in Body Broken by Klan's Guards, He Relates. (Continued From Page On**! they were allowed tobacco for pipes, but no cigarets. Then we gave them ire water for the first time in the history of the prison. "It is surprising what magic a little concession like that will work. Things which are trivial on the outside become enormously important in a place like this.” "Like to hear how I got here.” the "terrible” Rosenburg asks with the naivete of a child "Dot bridge stickup in South was notting. Such small stuff I was against it. But the other boys made me help pull it off and we was caught. "At dat time," Rosenburg volunteered, "I was working with ‘The Owl, y'know. We was on our wav to the Pacific coast to board ship for Australia and we stopped in South Bend and did that job. Such a slop I was.” Knows AH Ports All the ports in the seven seas have known the giant Rosenburg. He has brawled his way through Port Said, Rio de Janerio. Shanghai and the South sea islands. "I convoyed troop ships in the big v ar.” he tells you proudly, "and we have had some mighty close shaves.” Once in th** Gulf of Finland Rosenburg recounted, he was washed overboard in a storm and only by his superhuman strength managed to save himself from a watery grave. From the end of the war until 1924 he served as a sailor in the merchant marine. In 1924 he was a master at arms on a ship which suddenly was converted into a rum runner. "Dot was the start of all my troubles.” says Rosenburg. "Dot damn prohibition. I got in with a bunch of bad ones den, I'm telling you. They stole each other's liquor, hijacked and everything else.” Returned 520,00 fl Ronds Breaking away from the* rum runners after a fierce fight in which he nearly lost his life, Rosenburg shipped aboard another merchant ship He told of finding $20,000 worth of bonds opened in the mail room by one of the erew and returning it to the captain. When he later learned the captain had taken the bonds for his own use. Rosenburg said he made up his mind to steal some money for himself. Shipping on the S S. George Washington, he made his way into the mail room and stole $37,000 from the mails. The theft was discovered. At Bremen Haven he was arrested and brought back to Tren- 1 ton. N. J.—the boat had sailed from Hoboken, N. J. —to answer federal charges. He was sent to Atlanta. Rosenburg escaped from Atlanta. He made his way to the middle west, where he associated with other felons. Rosenburg is no more an untamed adventurer, fighting impulsively at the drop of a hat. The prison has broken his spirit, as it has so many other men. He works in the hospital when his bad heart permits him to be active. A gTeat hope buoys him up When he speaks of it his whols face changes and his eyes sparkle. 'Next. April I go up for parole.”

SOUTH CAROLINA TROOPS PROTECT STRIKE BREAKERS

Prevent strike violence before it starts seems to be the slogan in Seneca, S. C., where thus scene teas enacted. National guardsmen, with bayonets fixed and rifles at ready as though about to go over the top, escorted an army of strike breakers through the textile strikers’ picket lines and into the cotton mills. Soldiers also were stationed on each side of the road to prevent pickets from storming the marching column.

he explains. “Den I shall ask for deportation to Russia. I was borr in Riga. Over there I shall start life over again.” Once whu?n Rosenburg attempted to escape over the wall after several severe beatings, he was locked in solitary for two years. He was beaten, he declares, with wooden clubs and blackjacks. "Now it is bedder,” he explains. “There is no more beating up of prisoners—but.” And a glance from the one-time terror of the prison yard made it clear that he already had said too much. Tomorrow’s installment of this series on conditions in Michigan City prison will deal with the “stool pigeon” system.

400 STUDENTS TO GET FEDERAL RELIEF JOBS Tennessee Collegians Enabled to Return to School. By United Press NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 7. Through jobs and funds furnished by the FERA, it has been made possible for nearly 400 young men and women students to further their education in universities throughout the state. After the close of last term, these students became financially dependent. and with apparently no means of aiding themselves, had to give up hope of higher schooling. Assignments of funds and jobs will be made principally on the basis of the need of applicants, and it must be proven they can not attend classes without aid.

U. S,-RUSSIAN DEBT PARLEY ENDS, FAILURE Inability to Reach Terms for American Credit Brings Collapse. By United Press WASHINGTON. Sept. 7.—Collapse of the American-Soviet debt negotiations was attributed today to inability to arrive at terms for proposed American credits to Russia. The collapse was announced by the state department, which said the United States had "gone the limit in making concessions,” and' that further compromise would amount to "unthinkable sacrifice of the public interest.” It was believed that the hub of the disagreement was refusal of the United States to arrange for longterm credits for the Soviet, indications were that the confereees had agreed generally as to the amount to be paid by Russia on American claims and a loan to the Kerensky government. However, the Soviet wished to repay the money through extra interest on a long-term loan, it was believed. The United States was willing to give Russia credits up to five years but not beyond that period. The exact amount of the proposed credit was understood to have depended upon how much Russia

agreed to pay on the American claims. Diplomatic observers belie\ r ed the Soviet wished commercial credits of about $100,000,000 and a long-term loan of equal amount. Assistant Secretary of State R Walton Moore has been aiding in the negotiations. He conferred recently with President Roosevelt and is believed to have received instructions regarding the American attitude at that time.
