 CHEYENNE, Wyo.. June 26.-An. tonic Cuaz, placed on the stand late today by the prosecution in the alleged interstate stolen gold conspiracy which went to trial here yesterday spent the rest of today's session of federal district court telling how he reduced ore obtained by him at an as- say shop in Cripple Creek, Colo. to bullion.

 The government introduced nearly so exhibits, checks. letters, statements from the hints in San Francisco, Phil adelphia and Denver as evidence this afternoon, consuming considerable time with this.
 Cuaz outlined the devious ways by which the ore was disposed of. Bull lion. he said, often passed through half a dozen hands before it reached the hints. He admitted implication, he declared, with others among those on trial, in a number of cases of han ding stolen ore or the refined metal A number of checks from the hints, totaling in value s150,519, were among eheXhibits offered by the prosecu- tion.

Democracy Must Rule World, Says
 Russians EnUoy
Senate Throws Dignity Aside In Welcoming Ambassador BakhInetief And Other Members of War Mission.
rRv Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. June 26-ln anoth-
 CT stirring address today at the capi-
 tol. Ambassador Rakhmetieff. head of Russia's diplomatic mission. gave a sol- emn pledge that the Russian people and army convinced that a separate peace would mean the triumph of Ger man autocracy," are prepared to fight on beside America until the world has been made safe for democracy.
 The ambassador spoke before the senate and was given a reception al- most as enthusiastic as that accorded Saturday in the house. On no previous occasion since the war began has sen atorial reserve been cast so completely aside. At the conclusion of the ad dress a resolution was adopted by unanimous consent expressing the sen ate's qualification over the stand of the newest democracy.
 'Russia's rejects with indignation any idea of separate peace," said the envoy. Striving tor a lasting peace based on democratic principles estab- lished by democratic will, the Russian people and army are rallying their forces around the banners of freedom. Russia wants the world to be safe for democracy. To make it safe means to have democracy rule the world"
 Many of the rumors of industrial dis sensions in Russia. MT. Bakhmetieff said, grew out of misunderstanding of the changes taking place in the trans formation of Russia to democratic standards. He pleaded for patience and confidence that these changes, all though they might take time, would be worked out successfully in the end.
 Tonight the ambassador and other members of the Russian mission were given a reception by Secretary Lans- ing with President Wilson among the guests.

JUDGE, JUROR AND
 ATTORNEY CLASH IN
 FRISCO BOMB TRIkE
(By Review Leased Wire.)

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-Twen- ty-two witnesses were put on the stand by the state today in an attempt to prove that Mrs. Rena Mooney, whose trial on a murder charge grew out of the bomb explosion here last July, was actively involved in an alleged anar- chistic conspiracy against the govern ment which the prosecution >contended culminated in the bomb murders and the killing ten persons.
 Superior Judge Emmett Seawell overruled repeated objections on the part of the attorneys for the defense who tried to keep out testimony tend ing to prove a conspiracy. The al- legged unlawful acts of Mrs. Mooney, Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Bil lings, the latter two of whom were sentenced respectively to death and life imprisonment for one of the bomb murders, from 1913 to within a few days of the bomb explosion was gone into detail by the states witnesses.
 The alleged activities of MT. and Mrs Mooney in attempting to start a street car strike in San Francisco last July were testified to by number of witnesses. The dynamiting of three electric power towers near San Fran cisco on the night of June 10, 1916. with which the state declared it would connect some of the defendants in the bomb cases, figured in the testimony.
 Other features of the days pro ceedings were the objections made by Juror Frank M. Charming to the open ing of his mail by Judge Seawell and the infiction of a $1O fine on Attorney Edward V. Mckenzie of the defense for contempt of court.
 After Charming made his complaint Judge Seawell said:
 q must plead guilty 10 opening your letter"

WASHINGTON. June 2e.-The ad- ministration food control bill passed by the house was rewritten today by a senate agricultural subcommittee so as to give President Wilson the power and responsibility of deciding wheth- CT the nation shall be "bone-dry" dur ing the war and to place iron. and steel and many other products in addition to food and munitions under government control.
 Advocates and opponents predicted passage by Saturday. As a substitute for the house prohibition sections which without qualification forbid the manufacture of foodstuff into liquor. the subcommittee added provisions which would prohibit manufacture, during the war. of all intoxicating bev- erages and empower the president to commander existing supplies of dis titled spirits. but would authorize the executive in his discretion to permit manufacture of matted. fermented and vinuous beverages and fix their alco- holic content.

Primarily. the fund will be devoted to the needs of American sol diers and sailors. and secondarily to relief work among the allies.

DEMANDS FOR SEOSONABLE
COMMODITIES ACCELERATED.

New York, Dec. 15.-Dun's today
says:
Only in the retail field have storms
and low temperatures been helpful to
business and it is of less general inn
p~ortance that demands for seasonable
commodities have been accelerated
and augmented than that ~transporta-
ton problems have been aggravated
and manufacturing still further i'm
peded. Through the vigorous and I'M
usual measures taken to better con-
ditions. partial relief from the freight
congestion was indicated before real
area, but since then the situation has
become more troublesome and not a
few plants have been forced to shut
down altogether or appreciably re-
duce operations because of the added
difficulties of obtaining fuel. The
stoppage or curtailment of work is es-
pecially unfortunate at a time when
the pressure for supplies of various
materials and merchandise for the
government and other interests is so
great and in branches where regular
buying has diminished. the change is
not unwelcome with producers ham
pered as they are. That strictly CIV
ilian trade, while not so conspicuous
ly active as previously. remains large
in the aggregate, reports make clear.
and Christmas shopping has started
in a way foreshadowing favorable re-
suits, on the whole. But holiday pur-
chases in most instances are both
more conservative and discriminating
than last year., and emphasize the
movement toward economy which a
grown out of the war. and which is
spreading in about all sections.
