HOT WATER PLANT
INTERRUPTS DINNER
Explosion Partly Wrecks Home ON
DAILY Avenue While Family
Is Enjoying Meal.

Louis Neuhoff, a. plumber, and his
family were seated around the festive
board at their home, 1O7 DAILY avenue,
this noon, when the heating appara-
tus in the cellar blew up with loud
detonation and crashed through the
floor in the next room, part of it lodg-
ing in the ceiling. An alarm for hre
was rung in from Box Ala, but the
fire department had little to DO.
Neuhoff allowed the fire to die out
last night and it is believed the ap-
paratus froze solid. A slow fire was
started this morning in the firebox
with the result that steam generated
and sought the line Of least resistance,
which happened to be the top of the
boiler. The top of the boiler also
sought to escape and plunged through
the roof of the cellar and into the
ceiling Of the room above. The plas-
ter was wrecked and the windows In
the house were shattered.

Overthrow 13OlSIlcViki.

London, Dec. 12.--Russian officials
in London who arc establishing direct
communication With General Kalcd-
ines and other leaders of democratic
organizations in Russia declared to the
! Associated Press that the movement
to overthrow the Bolsheviki was SUP.
ported not only by. the Cossacks but
! by almost all the leaders of the other
parties. These leaders, it was said,
are confident they will be ableto make
snort shrift of the Bolsneviki
They also feel certain they will be
able to present u formidable fighting
force by spring.
1t is said thousands of Cossacks al
ready have left the fighting front and
rallied to kaledines' support, and it
! is expected he Will soon have the en-
tire force Of 100000 Cossacks at his
disposal.
The officials in London assert the
plans embrace the solidification of the
loyal fighting forces, the complete
elimination of the Bolsheviki organi-
cations in the cities and towns of
southern Russia, the establishment
of order, the reorganization of sup
| plies and the establishment of a new
allied fighting front to protect the
rich Russian granaries and coal and
mineral fields from the Germans.
They add that form of guerrilla
| warfare may possibly preccde the re-
establishment of a solid fighting front
| owing to the present disorganized
state of the army on account Of
Bolsheviki peace negotiations.
The question of Allied support which
|
! edines and the other forces loyal to
Russia and the Allies are to be sue
cessful, is one on which much stress
must be laid, especially the question of
eventual ending of an American expe-
ditionary army to cooperate with the
forces holding the new front. It is
pointed out that this would not be in
the nature Of American interference
with Russian internal affairs, but a
case similar to American and British
troops helping France.
Hard as it may be for Russia to car
ry on in the face Of the great sacri-
fees made at the beginning of the war
and the paralysis Of the army under
the Bolsheviki and German propagan-
da, the officials assert that Russia will
carry on till the time a general peace
is agreed upon in common with the
Allies.
The fact that the Germans them
selves cannot make up their minds re-
garding the Bolsheviki peace meeting
the approval Of the Russian people is
shown it is said, by the report of a
meeting held at German eastern head
quarters early this month.
News Of this ssmeeting was received
in Russian sources through what is
said to be trustworthy neutral
source and was to the effect that the
civil and military authorities differed
on the question. The civil authori-
ties were willing to accept the Bolshe-
Wiki offer but the military leaders
pointed out that to make such a peace
would only compromise Germany.
