STAUB HARMLESS
is RELEASED BY
FEDERAL AGENT

Believing his violation Of the

tirely to his ignorance of what was
required, Charles H. Lane, special
agent for the department of justice.
has decided It is unnecessary to intern
Max Staub, and he will be given a
permit, and a position secured for
him in Bridgeport if possible. Staub
came to Bridgeport from New York
a little more than a week ago, and ap-
piled at the police station Tor hodg-
ing.
Inquiry by the lieutenant in charge
brought out the information that
Staub was born in Germany, had not
taken out papers, and had no permit
to move from onep lace to another.
He was placed under arrest and turn
ed over to Lane.
Lane has made an investigation,
and found that Staub was ignorant
of the law requiring a permit, and
that he has committed no offense
other than to come from New York
to Bridgeport. Lane said today he
would try to secure a p0sitio n for
Staub, and would issue the necessary
alien enemy permit,

WILL NOT ALLOW
DEMOCRATS TO
Get RUSS power

Petrograd, Tuesday, Dec. 1.-THE
Constitutional Democratic party will
not be permitted to get control of the
constituent assembly by the Boil
shevtki, according to a statement by
the official news bureau.
''In the event of a majority of the
constituent assembly not being in IA
vor of the workmen's and soldiers
councils" the statement says. sit is pro-
posed to exclude the Constitutional
Democrats, who are frankly counter
revolutionary and who should not
NEEDLE with the work of organization,
and to hold reflections in view Of
the suborning of electoral commit
tees in many places by the Constitu-
tional Democrats.
in any cases the masses will only
support a constituent assembly whose
members guarantee them land, peace
and liberty. The commissaries will
not hand over power which has been
entrusted to them by the congress of
Workmen's and Soldiers delegates to
an assembly which will, overruls the
will Of the people.
1.-THE demonstration with the watch
word 'A1l power to the constituent as
sembly,' organized by the Constitu-
tional Democrats, Minimalists and So
cial Revolutionists will in no way al
ter the situation. All power remains
in the hands of the Soldiers and peas
ants and those who defend their inter-
ests."
The Pravada, the Bo1sheviki organ
says;
1.-THE only constituent assembly that
will be recognized by the workmen,
soldiers and peasants is one giving
them bread, peace and land. The ma
ton recognizes only one law-the fur
therance of it's interests. Those who
refuse to obey that law will be COM
PEELED to submit by force"

WHERE THE
DANGER LIES
How Best to Avoid It.
Facts Everybody Ought
to Know.

The great danger in colds at this
season Of the year is that they often
lead to pneumonia and other serious
diseases.
The moment you begin to take
patent medicines and so-called
cough cures" the majority Of which
depend on nerve-deadening drugs for
their effect, you weaken the body.
That takes away thew ita1 force
necessary to ward off disease, and the
grip and pneumonia germs develop,
and because the body is weakened Is
why pneumonia is so often fatal.
Father Johns Medicine is not q
patent medicine, and is guaranteed
not to contain alcohol or dangerous
drugs. 1t has had 60 years of success
for colds, coughs. and as strength
and flesh builder.-Adv.

CUT PASSENGER
TRAFFIC A THIRD
Twenty-Six U. s. Railroads
Line Up Their Schedules
to Cut Down This
Service.

Twcnty-six railroads of the United
States are lining up their schedules
with view OF cutting down passenger
train service about one-third.
So far as the Omaha Chicago roads
are concerned the date for the Gu has
not been decided upon, but the change
is expected soon.
: The reduction OF passenger train
service is the be applied on main, as
we'll as on branch lines and i'll af-
feet such railroad terminals as Oma-
ha, Chicago, ST. Louis and Minneapo-
lis more than the smaller centers.
General Manager letters Of the
Union Pacific last night said hat no
orders have gone out from his office
reducing passenger train service lie
adds il such orders should issue, he
could not state when they might be
expected.
The reduction of the passenger
train service is for two-fold purpose.
Cutting off passenger trains, it is as
serted, will release/a large number of
engines that can be put into freight
handling and in this way terminals can
be cleared OF congestion and the bust
ness soon restored to normal.
At the same time the plan contem-
plates the release. OF large number
Of light engines and some that are not
in the best condition. These machines
will be run through the shops as
quickly as possible and then be sent
to England and France to so into
service in those countries, taking the
place of those sent to the war zones.

Ships for Six Millions

Washington, May 1O.-The Federal
Shipping board tonight announced
that it had bought seven Austrian
merchantmen held in American ports,
totaling 52,65l tons, for $6,77S,0O6.
The price is about half the prevailing
price for ships. The vessels will be
repaired within a few months and
placed in the war emergency trade by
the board.
The ships are at Pensacola. They
we're bought from A. T. Herd and
George A. Garden, New York-ship

profits and sell at virtually the same
price they gave for the vessels.
Leaders of both parties at a con-
ference with the president promised
