According to reports in the Moscow Press, the Bolshevik poet Serge Evsenin (the husband of Isadora Duncan) who was publicly censured some time ago for creating anti-Semitic disturbances, has again been arrested for a similar offence. On entering the Restaurant Domino on January 19th, Evsenin, who was in an intoxicated condition, began to shout, “Kill the Jews!-Save Russia!” The militia were summoned and after a short struggle Evsenin was arrested and taken to the police station where he remained the whole night. Next morning he was released.
