Even the Bolsheviki leaders are now
fearful that their negotiations with
Germany may result in complete cut

grad reported a speeding up in the
Trotzky-Lenine efforts to make the
armistice stick. Colonel Judson of the

HEAVY FIGHTING AT
MOSCOW AND KIEFF

Stockholm, Nov. 2S.-Six hundred
killed at Kieff and leo Russian army
officers slaughtered at Moscow, were
additions to the bloody deeds Of vio-
lence by which the Bolshevih gained
control in Russia according to word
brought out Of Petrograd by credi-
BILE Russian citizen today.
The fighting at Kieff lasted over six
days. 1t was veritable reign Of ter
ror. The Bolsheviki now have COM
plete control of the city.
American Minister Morris received
this report from the traveller today. He
was told that the $50 Russian officers
persisted. in an heroic defense of Mos
cows biggest hotel and that the fren-
zied Bolsheviki mob literally pulled the
structure to pieces.
FINLAND NEEDS HELP.
DR.. Won wendt, food administrator
for Finland, conferred today with Nor
ris, imploring him to urge on Presi-
dent Wilson the immediate necessity
that relief measures be taken by the
United States, in Finland. Won Wendt
asserted that unless America sent i'm
mediate aid all Finland would perish
from starvation. Morris agreed to
forward an urgent appeal to the state
department.
Diplomatic officers here today re-
ported that Bolsheviki forces had
turned back British and French diplo-
matte couriers from the Finnish from
tier-refusing to recognize their dip
lomatic credentials and ignoring their
demand that dispatches be transmitted
to the allied ambassadors in Petro-
grad.
PROPOSAL DECLINED.
From Haparanda today 1t was
learned that Tchernoff. formerly minis
ter Of agriculture in the Kerensky cab
met, had met with a number of other
Socialist moderates and cadet leaders
at Mohilev, seat of the Russian grand
army headquarters, to effect organi-
nation of q coalition government. The
conference. 1t was asserted, sent ennis
saries to Petrograd, proposing that the
Bolsheviki join in this endeavor to re-
store order to Russia by institution OF
strong government representative OF
all political factions, but that the Boil
sheviki fatty declined.
All word from Petrograd today In
dicated that the capital was more quiet

SCANDINAVIANS
MEET TO OUTLINE
FUTURE POLICIES
Tightening of the Embargo
on Supplies Has Brought
About Serious Internal
Difficulties.

Christiana, Nov. 2s.-Scandinavian
kings, premiers and ministers were as
sembling here today for a conference
Of far reaching importance.
The future policy of Norway, Swe-
den and Denmark Is at stake In the
meeting. Neutrality at all costs was
the decision to which the three nations
jointly pledged themselves early In
the war. An agreement was entered
into at that time that the Scandina-
Wan countries would act in unison on
all propositions arising out of the war.
The constantly tightening embargo
put in force by the allies plus Amer
ica's recent strict curtailment of sup
plies, has brought about serious In
ternal conditions in the three nations.
DIFFICULT POSITION.
Germanys control OF the Baltic on
the one hand, and Americas insist
ence against Teutonic demands for
supplies, have put the three nations
in a position of great difficulty.
Added to this has been an undercur-
rent Of distinctly pro-ally sentiment,
recently developed in Norway. through

common has already been broken by
the Swedish governments messenger
boy aid to Germany. Norway, there
fore, is no longer bound to Joint ac-
ton. The Norwegians have full JUS
tification for entering the war with
the allies, not only on account of the
wanton German attacks upon Norweg-
ian ships, but also because the kaiser
has recently begun a policy of sub
marine discrimination for the benefit
of favored neutrals.
INpEMNITIES PROMISED.
The Argentine government has re-
ceived a promise from Berlin of in
IDENTITIES for ships previously sunk and
promise that the Argentine flag
hereafter will be respected on the high
seas. Norway, however, can secure no
such consideration from Germany. This
humiliation Is the deeper because OF
the implication that the kaiser be-
lieves Norway's sister. Scandinavian
kingdoms can hold the Norwegians in
check.
The Swedish ruling house needs no
inducement from the kaiser to restrain
Norway because the Swedish patri-
clans have strong admiration for
Prussian militarism. Denmark, hav-
ing lost two provinces to Prussian
militarism. would be naturally on Nor
ways side, but the threat OF meeting
Belgium's fate is held over her.
MUST STAND ALONE.
Norway therefore, must stand alone
In Scandinavia against the Hohenzol-
lern menace to civilization. II the
Norwegians decide that national self
respect demands declaration OF war
against Germany. the result would be
very advantageous from the stand
point of allies naval operations in the
Baltic.
A naval base in Norwegians waters
might be so used as to clear the Baltic
of German shipping. This would
bring still greater economic pressure
to bear on the kaiser's subjects and
would solve the problem OF Sweden's
trans shipment Of American supplies
to German ports.

ened Menace Is Removed.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The United
States and her allies are united in a
stand against any separate peace now.
And while no official statement on the
subject had been made. it was believed
here today. the allies have impressed
Russia with this thought In the midst
of her mad efforts for an armistice.
There are renewed indications that
this government proposes not to ship
any further supplies to Russia until
there exists something moro like a ma
tional government than the Lenine-
Trotzk-' regime.
MUST REMOVE MENACE.
The United States IL disposed to
back any stable rule within Russia
but the belief is growing that the
Bolsheviki group in Petrograd is de-
finitely drifting toward a separate
peace. Hence there is a disinclination
here to further the Russian cause with
supplies before the separate peace
menace IL removed.

While any government he could estab-
lish would probably tend toward con-
servatism, he might stabilize affairs
sufficiently to keep the Russian army
at its task.
NO HOPE OF HELP.
IN any event. American and allied
plans are shaped now on the theory
that little or no help can be expected
from Russia for months. The best that
can be anticipated Is that there will be
no separate peace which would permit
Germany to open up Russia as a store
house and supply depot for the Teu-
ton armies.
To this end, II Is believed that the
allies. perhaps from Paris. have sent
word to General Dukhonin's armies in
the form of a warning against the Le-
nine Trotzky negotiations.
The United States government Is
waiting the turn of Russian events be-
fore deciding its course toward the
Bolsheviki armistice proposal. The
state department today said no steps
had been taken yet toward deciding
the American attitude. except to study
the proposal. 1t was evident officials
believed there might be new develop
ments in Russia radically affecting
the general situation.

ARE LOOKING FOR
HARRY THAW
This Time Insane Slayer Wanted on
Whipping Charge
ASSAULTED KANSAS CITY BOY
Youth, Whom He Met In California,
Was Lured to New York Hotel
and Beaten Almost to
Inconsistencies

New York, Jan. 10.-Harry x.
Thaw, who was legally released hf-
teen months ago from an asylum for
the insane, where he was sent after
he killed Stanford White, was to-
day indicted here charged with kid
mapping Fred Gump Jr. of Kansas
City, a youth of 10, and assaulting
him with whip
With him was indicted on the
kidnapping charge man described
as George f. O'Byrnes, and suppos-
ed to have been employed by Thaw
as a bodyguard. Word was received
that O'Byrnes had been arrested in
Philadelphia and detectives were
there looking for Thaw today.
The complaint which was placed
against Thaw alleges that Thaw en-
ticed the youth to his rooms at a
hotel here, Christmas night and
there beat him with two whips three
different times until he bled and
became almost unconscious
Testimony describing the whip
ping of young girls by Thaw made
up some of the most sensational
chapters in the numerous court ac-
tons on the question of Thaw's san
ity after his acquittal of the murder
of White on the grounds of insanity
and his commitment to the Mattea-
wan state hospital for the criminai
insane. Aienists for the state testi-
fled that whipping was mania with
| Thaw.
According to the information laid
before the district attorney, It was
toward the end of 1915 that Thaw
first met and became interested IL
Gump. He had gone to California
after his release here to attend the
Panama Pacific exposition at Sar
Francisco and later went to tbs
southern part of the state, spendinE
some time at Long Beach, where hC
met Gump.
