RUSS|A'S FUTURE
 |S BEING SHAPED
CONFERENCE IS OPENED AT MOSCOW BY PREMIER
 kERENSkY.
CAUTIONS AGAINST DISORDER
Building in Which the Council Is Meeting Is Surrounded By Close Chain of Soldiers. With Officers
 Every Few Yards.

Moscow.-The State Council which promises important results in the na- tional life of Russia which opened in the Grand Opera House with that sol emnity and old Russian pomp espe- cially characteristic of Moscow. The tneater district was crowded with sightseers and interspersed among the members of the council were seen the characteristic Russian types, in- eluding Tartars in peaker caps white robed Mullahs from the Volga, Georg- ians robed in cloth of gold, cassocks and dignitaries of the Greek orthodox church, who had arrived for the ecu menical church congress, which be- gins Tuesday.
 Despite the one-day strike pro- claimed by the Bolsheviki in protest against the council as a counter-revo- lutionary expression, the city is quiet. A few incipient attempts by the Bol- sheviki street corner orators to or ganize demonstrations were suppress ed by the crowds.
 
 orders and the council threatens to show a rigor in this respect unknown even in ante-revolutionary days. The building in which the council is meeting is surrounded by close chain of soldiers, with officers every few yards. The soldiers are picked men from regiments of the Signal Corps or cadets training for officers. The chambers under the buildings are occupied by soldiers with fixed bayo- nets. Members and invited guests before being admitted have their tickets examined by nine different military posts.
 The proceedings began with a speech by Premier Kerensky, lasting an hour and a half, pronounced in a nervous and impressive voice, which aroused tremendous applause, mainly from that part of the theater occu- pied by the democratic organizations and members of he cabinet, but the Duma members and the Moscow in- dustrial deputies also at times par liClpdteu' M- NtiShohS opOht icSo- lutely emphasizing the role he had played in recent events and his de- termination to guide events in the future.
 The premier was greeted with wild applause, when. early in his speech, speaking of the dangers from the ex- treme left, he declared: All at tempts with armed force against the peoples power will be crushed with blood and iron"

SENATE DISCUSSES
 POPE'S PEACE PLAN
SENATOR OWENS BELIEVES TEU- TONIC AUTOcRAcY ARE COM
 ING TO ITS SENSES.

Washington.-In the first speech on the general subject of the war and prospects of peace delievered in the Senate since the publishing of Pope Benedict's peace proposals. Senator Owen of Oklahoma declared that the fact that the pope, with the approval of Austria and apparently with the approval of Germany. proposed 'simul= taneous and reciprocal diminution of armements' seemed to promise that the Teutonic autocracy was coming to it's senses.
 "We will help them reach con- dftion of sanity" he added, by null tiplying our war efforts and by co-efdi- hating every nation in the world in this struggle against the war domina- tion of the Teutonic powers.
 The senator spoke in support of his joint resolution proposing an interna- tional government and police to main tain peace and competitive armaments and the ambitions of military dynas- ties.
 "Seven-eights of the people of the world" he said are at heart op- posed to the ambitions of the Prus sian military autocracy, and the Unit ed States should strenuously take steps to induce every neutral nation 10 combine with the entente allies in making war on Prussianism.
 "There is some reason to believe. ' he added, that the German people are about to awake from their dreams, and that even the military group may be coerced by German opinion"

Two young men had driven a car in front of the church and as soon as the people be- gan coming out they started for Con- way. About l o'clock in the morn- ing they reached the home of Ed Moore, who has pack of blood hounds. and asked him to take his dogs out there He asked who would pay for the trip and they said they did not know. He asked who sent them. They said that they had come of their own accord. Becoming sus- picious, MT. Moore called Dr. w. A. Mcdonald. supervisor for this county and was informed that car with two men had just arrived at Dr. McDon- aids house with authority from the people at Naylor to bring the dogs.
 Deputy Sheriff J. l. Summers, MT Moore and his dogs and Dr. McDon- aid accompanied by the two cars, started for Naylor The officers reach ed the scene ahead of the two young men who had first called Mr. Moore.
 Before leaving Conway. however. the young men. learning the other men were here, then tried to discour- age MT. Moore from taking his hounds to Naylor, saying that everybody at the church had walked around the vat by that time. But fortunately the vat had been guarded and the people kept away from the scene.
 Immediately upon arriving at the vat. the dogs picked up trail and followed it to the home of one of the young men who had come after the hounds without authority Later the dogs picked him out of the crowd, it is said ,and would have attacked him had it not been for MT Moore.
