SINCE FRONT DOOK IS CI/OSED, Russian .lew Immigrant? Now Com lng In at thc Huck. Seattle, Wash., June 9.-Since July 15 last, 850 Jewish young men and a dozen Jewish women and chil dren, refugees from Russian Poland and the other portions of Western Russia over-run by the German ar mies have arrived in Seattle after journeying through Siberia by rail road and crossing the Pacific on steamers, mostly Japanese freight ers. A few have come directly from Vladivostok, but most of them took steamer In Yokohoma and Kobo. Many of the young men are gradu ates of the Gymnasia, which ranks with the American State university. All are well educated and belonged to the better classes In their native land. Some were wealthy. When it became apparent to the Russians that they could . not hold Warsaw they shipped ' out by rail machinery and supplies that would have been of benefit to the Germans, and they sent away the young Poles, Jews and Russin ns whom they feared the Germans might impress as sold iers. These young men received from the Russian commanders slips of pa per entitling them to travel eastward on the Russian railways without charge. Tho Russian and Polish young men stopped their travel when they reached districts which were not threatened with German invasion, but many Jewish youths continued to travel eastward. They rode free when y could, but often they were obliged to pay the trainmen. The stories the immigrants tell of their adventures In crossing Euro pean Russia and Siberia are highly interesting. Those who were well provided with money arrived in Vladivostok ilrst, made their way to Japan by freight or passenger steam ers and, in ;tinie, arrived in Seattle. Here those who had the required sum of money entered Without hin drance, but those who were without funds were ordered deported. The detained immigrants made their plight known to the public-spirited Jews In Seattle, who assisted the young men to appeal to Washington against the order of deportation. Then, when the department of labor said the mon would be admitted if bonds wore furnished, guaranteeing tHat they would not become public charges, these Seattle Jews provided the bonds, and they arc still signing bonds. When it was seen that the influx of young Jews probably would not end while the wai listed, the Seattle Jews appealed to the Hebrew Sheltering Aid Society of Amener., which has headquarters in New York. This so ciety assumed part of the burdell of caring for the refugees, lt provided funds, arranged to handle the cases of the ilrst class immigrants at Wash ington and assisted in the Organiza tion of a branch of the society in Seattle, with Leo S. Schwabacher as president. The Seattle branch looks after the refugees from the hour they arrive until they are self-supporting. It has leased the former residence of Uni ted Slates Senator Squires here and equipped it as a home for the Immi grants. Those who come with pock ets full of Russian roubles need only to have, their bills exchanged for American money and to be assisted to learn the language and communicate with friends and relatives in the United States, if they have any. The men without money are instructed in the English language and in Ameri can citizenship. Most of the immi grants do coniomn labor at Ilrst. Some have become merchants In a small way. Others have been able to get work at their own professions, and a few have done so well that thoy have sent to Russia for relatives. These young men are now arriving in Seattle at the rate of 100 a month. One hundred and fifty, it is said, are now in Japan seeking passage to tho United States. Abraham Spring, an attorney who is directing the work of the Seattle Aid Society, in speaking of tho immi grants, said: "This immigration is the most remarkable and most valu able that has eyer come to America. These immigrants are the first Eu ropeans to come to our shores by way of Asia. They are In perfect health, highly educated and Intend to be come American citizens. This society wishes the i m migrants not to gather in one quarter of the city, and we located our new home a long way from tho Jewish settlement that has lately grown up here.

The city's tills have been helped considerably during the past month by the lines of persons charged with soliciting labor without license. , Three were tried on tl\ls charge yes- ! terday in police court resulting in tines of $100 or 30 days in each case. '? C. C. Heddie, one of those to be con- ! victed yesterday, was granted bail in ! the sum of $200 pending an appeal to ? the Circuit Court. The others will ' probably serve the 30 days. An ap peal was made before tho city coun cil Monday afternoon for tho reduc tion of tho flue of $100 or :10 days recently Imposed on O. A. Sprlghts on this charge. A few days ago the council reduced the line of a man con victed on this charge to $r>. provided he took out license to solicit labor for which he was to pay $100, thus making his total cost $10.r>. The council offored the same alternative to Mr. Sprlghts yesterday, but he re fused lt and paid the $100 line.

Impossible To Get So Much Motor Car Value For The Money W E FIND this is the attitude of many people who come into our salesroom before they know anything about the Maxwell. Not until the Maxwell is shown and demon strated to them-until they sit in it and examine the finish-until they ride in it-or perhaps not until they drive it themselves, do they realize what a tremendous value is offered in the Maxwell car. It is not unusual that Maxwell value should not be known to everyone, because it is uncom mon to find such a car for a good margin more than the Maxwell price. The Maxwell stands absolutely alone in a highly competitive field, for the amount of value it offers for the price. Appearance-The lines of the Maxwell are decidedly attractive. There is no break in the contour from the radiator to the back of the car. The fenders are gracefully shaped. All metal parts are enameled or nickel-plated. The uphol stery is deep and well-finished. From any angle it is a car that the owner can be proud of. Motor-The engine in the Maxwell car is not equalled by any other four-cylinder engine of its size. And we know of larger and more expensive cars that have less able power plants. The Max? well engine carries its load through mud and sand or over the steepest grades without a falter. Quality-The materials in the Maxwell car are the best that can be bought and the workman ship that turns them into finished parts is no less excellent It is only the large production of thc Maxwell factories that makes it possible to put such quality of materials and workmanship into a car selling at the Maxwell price. Economy-With its other attractive features, the Maxwell is a most economical car to own? Owners get 22 to 25 miles per gallon of gasoline and 8,000 to 12,000 miles per set of tires. And the car is so durably built that repair expense is negligible. We are sure you want a car such as we have described the Maxwell to be. If you will give us a few minutes of your time we are sure we can convince you that the Maxwell Car is an excep tional value. Come in today? Touring Car $655 Roadster $635 F.
