ROW OVER DELEGATES
Russian Factions at Outs Over Envoy
to Allies Conference.

Petrograd, Nov. 3.-The revolution
airy democracy will refuse to send rep
resentatives TO the allied conference
in Paris il the Russian government
insists on sending Foreign Minister
Terestchenko. NJ. Skobeleff, chosen by
the revolutionaries to go to Paris, con-
ferred today with Premier Kerensky,
to whom he declared that NJ.
Terestchenko's views were entirely
unacceptable to the revolutionary
democracy.
He pointed out that the democracy
will refrain from participation in any
delegation headed by the foreign min
lister. Premier Kerens6y is said to
have replied that he considered the
participation of the democracy neces-
sary.
The cabinet is seeking a solution of
the difficulty In government circles
it is intimated that some one else will
be substituted for NJ. Terestchenko
The peasant deputies have rejected
the instructions given NJ. Skobeleff by
the council of workmen's and soldiers
delegates, and have drafted new ones
for the approval of the general COM
rnittee of their organization.

POLL TAX NOTICES OUT
Second Call For Funds-But You
Need Not Pay Now.

Notice of delinquent poll taxes
were mailed from the office Of E. A
Campbell county treasurer, to more
than 5000 men of the county How
ever, these notices mean nothing, ac-
cording to an official statement made
this morning. The mailing Of the
notices was in keeping with the let
ter of the law.
Hundreds of calls were received
this morning at the offices of w H
WATSON, commissioner of the city fl
nance department, and E. A Camp
bell, county treasurer. Men of the
city, thinking that collections on the tax
were to be delayed showed no little
concern at the receipt of the notices
The law is still in the hands of the
court and collections will probably
be delayed, in spite of the fact that
the notices sent out this morning
threatened 5000 men of the county
with facing a sheriffs warrant eff
not paid within ten days"

MARKET NEW CORN
Receipts Help Force Price Down
Hogs Scarce Boosts Pork.

Chicago, Nov 3.-Enlarging re-
ceipts of new grain this week as well
as uncertainty resulting from the Ger
man invasion of Italy have pulled
down the corn market Prices this
morning as compared WITH a week
ago showed declines of z as cents to
ass cents. Cots were off Is cents to
81 cents. Provisions showed rise of
II cents to $3.50.
The enlarged movement of new
corn came chiefly in the southwest
and had made a noticeable impression
on values before any news of the Ital-
ian retreat was at hand.
Rain that rendered much corn I'M
fit for food acted temporarily as some
thing of an offset but as the magni-
tude of the Italian reverse counted
with increasing bearishness on the Sc
curity market the depression was re-
Elected more and more in corn prices.
Crop estimates indicating that the
1917 yield per acre was three-quarters
of a bushel more than had been pre-
dicted on October l had considerable
influence also as a handicap on the
bulls. Lightness of country offerings
held the oats market activity firm.
Scarcity of hog arrivals did much to
lift provisions.

TELL MORMON SECRETS
Former High Priest viii Speak Here
Next Week.

The secret rites of the Mormon
temple are to be revealed to the peo-
pie of this city by a former Mormon
high priest and secretary of the Euro
pean Mormon mission, Vernon j.
Danielsen, an attorney who has given
up his law practice to speak turnout
the country under the direction of
the National Reform association OF
Pittsburgh, Pa, on the evils OF Nor
monism as he has seen and eXper-
fenced them.
A. c. Latimer, representing the Ma
tional Reform association, himself a
former Mormon, has been here and
has arranged for Mr.. Danielson TO
speak at the following churches:
Nov. 4. II a. m, First Christian
church, mass meeting
Nov 4, 3 p. m, First Baptist church,
men only meeting.
Nov 5. 1880 p. m. North Topeka
Baptist church, mass meeting.
Nov. 6, 1880 p. m, Memorial NJ. Z.
church, mass meeting.
Nov z, 1880 p. m, Euclid Avenue
NJ E. church, mass meeting.
Mr.. Danielsen is said to be the first
man who has dared to risk his life by
coming out openly and exposing on
the public platform the secret I'M
American Mormon rites. He passed
thru the Temple in Salt Lake City in
recent years where he says he was
obliged to take an oath of disloyalty
to the United States, which he quotes
in the course of his addresses.
While in Europe he claims he had
opportunities for observing the al
legged methods employed by the Nor
mons in making converts, particularly
girls, and shipping them to Utah and
other western states. He accuses the
Mormons of still teaching and prac-
ticing polygamy and of using the war
as an excuse for propagating the doc
trines of polygamy and an oppor-
tunity to make converts of war
widows

SCORE FIRST POINT
Reid and Leavenworth Post Win, Pre-
Hminary Libel Suit Slkirmish.

Albert T. Reid of Topeka and the
Leavenworth Post Publishing COM
pany, drew first blood today in pre-
liminaries leading up to the trial of a
$4,000 libel suit filed in the Shawnee
county district court against the Post
Publishing company by Police Judge
Paul Mails. of Leavenworth. Judge
Dana denied a motion made by at
torneys for Mails asking that an an
swer to Mails petition be made more
specific.
In the answer filed by the Post
Publishing company it was stated that
the defendants had witnesses to prove
that Mails was a poker player. At
torneys for Mails asked that the dates
of these games and the witnesses be
named. E. D. McKeever, an attorney
retained by the Post Publishing com
pany, told Judge Dana that if the
names of the witnesses were divulged
the witnesses would be run out of
Kansas by the opposition side.
Judge Dana sustained a motion
made by McKeever to force Mails to
put up more money to cover costs in
the case. Many witnesses will be
brought from Leavenworth to Topeka
and the litigation promises to be
costly.

H. C. |. ON RUN!
Retail Prices Have Decreased
10 Per Cent Since June.
But Still 40 Per Cent Higher
Than in June, 1914.

Washington, Nov. 3.-RetaiI prices
in the United States have decreased
an average of 10 per cent from the
high water mark reached in May
and June, it is officially announced
today. Meat prices are dropping and
official hope of even lowering cost is
held out to the public. Limitation on
meat storage to thirty days is tending
to increase the visible supply. The
food administration, by licensing
packers has forced farmers to ma
ture their hogs by keeping down
prices for light stock.
While the average American retail
prices are still 40 per cent higher
than in June, 1914, official figures of
increases in Canada, Great Britain
and Germany in the same period are
so per cent, 10 per cent and $50 per
cent respectively

NOT TO STRIKE
"Rather Talk a Month Than
Strike a. Minute"
Trainmen'S PresidentA Advocates
Grant of r. r.. Rate Increase.

Chicago Nov at would rather
talk a month than strike minute"
w. G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, in an in
terview today, thus denied reports
that union officials in conference here
would force a strike of 100000 rail-
road employes-tying up every big
railroad in the United States-unless
they were granted substantial wage
increases.
Lee said the purpose of the present
joint conference of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and Order OF
Railway Conductors was to take care
of employees who were not included
in provisions of the Adamson law,
passed by congress to avert a general
railroad strike He advocated a rate
increase for all railroads to enable
them to meet the wage advance that
will be asked.
Not Fair TO Railroads.
L believe the railroads are entitled
to a rate increase" Lee said. 1T is
not fair that they should be forced to
ask the government for rate increases
so their employees may have more
money.
The United States Steel corpora
ton and other big concerns have
given increase after increase because
they can change prices of their prod
ucts to suit themselves.
"A fraction of a cent per capita OF
the population would help the rail-
roads and put them on their feet. The
railroads are hit by the war the same
as other businesses and they have no
method of increasing their revenues
to meet conditions. They stand to
lose their skilled workers, in addi-
ton, as more and more are going into
military service every day.
