 ONLY AS INMATES OF JAIL AWAITING TRIAL
Ban on Red Tape" Brings Rapid Dis- position of Cases and County
 Prison Has Few Boarders

Yesterday there were only 4s people confined in the county jail awaiting trial. In addition to these. however. there are six federal prisoners and 10 appealed cases. There has not been a white wom- an there since the third day of this month.
 This report reflects credit, it is declared, not only on the city and county for hay ing little trouble, but upon the county officials for the prompt disposition of the cases. Very little red tape" is tolerated, and as a result justice is soon received by guilty and not guilty alike

MORE LABOR TROUBLE
FOR UNHAPPY RUSSIA
Out Of the Mass Of Troubled Reports From the New Rus
sian Republic Comes the Declaration That Socialist
Conference Will Demand That Kaiser Go

Another Significance happening In
Russian socialists circles Is the reso-
luton adopted by congress Of dele
gates representing the front fighting
lines to the effect that Alsace and
Lorraine must. In simple justice go
back to France. These resolutions
declare that such Is not annexation
but right and that the adoption OF
such a program by France does not
run counter to the Russian peace
platform.
The usual quiet on the eastern
front has been broken by the Rus
SLAMS near Kovel and In the Carpath-
ians near Pnevi the Russians In both
places forcing the Teutonic allies to
give ground.
General Michael Alexief. COM
mander-in-chief Of the Russian ar
