Petrograd, Oct. 21.-According to a
statement issued by the official Rus

German forces west of the Vistula
River have been driven back forty-fiv
miles from the river and the Russian
advance posts have reached the vicin-
ity of Skierniewice, a railroad center
southwest of Warsaw.
Attempts of the Germans to recon-
struct the railroads east Of Lowicz and
Skierniewice have failed, it is stated.
Cossacks operating in force in this ter
ritory have destroyed the tracks as
fast as they have been relaid.
That the German plan of campaign in
Poland is similar to that followed in
France is indicated by reports that all
along their main line west Of the Vistula
the Austro-German forces are throwing
up strong intrenchmerts.

Graham made Farrell admit he was q

forced the witness to confess he had
served ten months in prison in Chicago
for larceny. He drew from Farrell the
fact that he took the place OF striking

Farrell denied this with a fury which
caused Justice Kelby to call a truce
He admitted that he travelled under

each time Farrell would shout back

HOUSE KILLS Bill
FOR COTTONS AID
Measure Providing for $780,
100000 Emergency Cur
rency Rejected.
BITTER PILL FOR SOUTH
Advocates Show Resentment by Hold
ing Up Amendments to Fed

BITTER PILL FOR SOUTH

Through the influence Of the Wilson
administration the House yesterday fol-
lowed the lead Of the Senate in rejecting
a bill proposed by Southern Democrats,
providing for an issue of S25o, 10000 Of
emergency currency to be used in reliev-
ing the cotton situation in the Southern
States. 1t was a bitter pill for the South
ern advocates of the plan to swallow.
and they showed their resentment by
holding up and possibly defeating so far
as this session Is concerned, proposed
amendments to the Federal reserve act
fathered by the administration and de-
signed to ease up the financial situation
generally throughout the United States
Fervent pleas for the passage Of the cot
ton. currency proposition were made by
Southern members, but a combination
made up of conservative Democrats ard
Republicans defeated It by a vote of l23
to 81
In opposing the cotton currency plan
the spokesmen of the administration, led
by Chairman Glass, Of the Banking and
Currency Committee, made the argument
that IL was a dangerous scheme of infia-
ticn, and that it would seriously endan-
ger public credit without in any way re-
Heving distress in the cotton-producing
States OF the South. II iss known that
many Southern members who supported
the cotton currency amendment shared
this view, but they were forced by politI-
cal eXpediency to part with the admins
tration on this issue.
Tackled on Administration HIII.
The cotton currency plan came up as
amendment to a bill introduced in be-
alf OF the administration by Chairman
lass permitting national banks to loan
mergency currency on commercial pa
er up to 100 per cent of their unim-
aired capital and surplus, thus removing
he limitation Of 30 per cent on such loans
imposed by existing law. This proposed
hange in the Law. II was argued. would
relieve conditions in the South somewhat
and prove generally beneficial on trade
everywhere throughout the country. 1t
was the purpose Of Chairman Glass also
TO include in this bill another amend
ment to the law indorsed by the Federal
Of 50 per cent on acceptances based on
export and import business, permitting
loans on such paper up to any amount
in the discretion of the board
The debate leading up to the defeat OF
the cotton currency plan and considera-
ton Of the Glass bill was marked by
sharp exchanges between the supporters
of the administration and those opposed
to ii on this question. Chairman Glass
was exceedingly severe in his structures
on the proposed legislation.
Representative Hardwick of Georgia, |
Burnett of Alabama, Howard of Georgia, |
and other Southern members made earn
est pleas for the legislation.
EIII Originated in Senate.
The bill was originally introduced in
the Senate. AS it passed that body ii /
contained an amendment. Incorporated

in It at the instance of Senators from
the cotton States extending the benefits
Of the emergency currency act to State
banks on terms OF equality with nation
al banks.
With the defeat OF the cotton amend
ment, the Southern contingent sought
to write back into the bill the provision
relating to State banks. In this they
were defeated. They also resorted to OBJ
structive tactics to delay the Glass bill
with the result that the House ad-
journed without taking action on that
measure.
The failure OF the administration lead
ers to pass the Glass bill yesterday prob
ably means that IT will go over until the
December session Unless there Is a
change in the program the House will

On the night Of July 1s, according to
Mr.. Graham the statement was made
in the presence Of Ferdinand O. Morton,
negro lawyer and a stenogrspher. In
this statement Celia declared that she
had not seen Mrs. Carman and that she
had no knowledge Of the shooting.
The statement was lengthy and COW

tions and answers. Celia admitted some
OF the answers but others she repudiated.

asked her.
Graham explained, outside Of the court
that he had received the statement from
Morton. Morton, according to Graham,
had been hired by Hicks to get state
ment out Of Celia and the result was,
Graham says, very unsatisfactory. Nor

what Hicks wanted, Graham declares,

There was q furious fight over the
question Of admitting the document but

the stand and swears that the tran
