sian Republic President Wilson
States Aims Of .America-No An.
neXatiOn of Territory

WASHINGTON, ID. C.. June IL
Ambassador Francis of Petrograd has
cabled the President that he deliver
ed his note outlining the policies of
the United States in entering the
present war to the Russian cabinet.
ten days ago. The note, which is a
lengthy one. outlines the policy and
aims of the United States in entering
the great war, and states that we are
neither seeking annexation of terri
tory nor indemnities. but a readjust-
ment of world power insuring the
peace and happiness of the world
The imperialistic conditions now ad-
vocated by Germany must be altered
before we can expect world peace.
and America would prevent the hid
eous recurrence of another world
war. In sending the commission now
in Russia the President states that
it is for the purpose of cementing the
friendship between this country and
the new republic. The note expresses
willingness to cooperate with Rus
sia in unselfishly striving to establish
liberty and justice. denounces the
German propaganda for separate
peace. which is sure to come. and re-
quests Russia to remain in the war
until its end.
Ambassador Francis states that the
American commission is nearing Pet
rograd and will probably arrive there
by the middle of the week.

pected that the leaders of the posse
will seize from the sheriff the persons
of Cletus Adams and Claude Piersol,
two suspects now in Jail here if the
evidence shows them to be connect
I'D with the kidnapping. The men are
now in the Kansas City Jail. They pro-
test their innocence and state that

started in the 24O feet level OF the
Speculator mine today caused the
death Of thirty-fve men and the prob
are still confined in the mine, unable
to escape on account of the flames and
gas. Fourteen bodies have been re,
covered by the helmet men. who were
unable to get any further into the
workings than the 22O0-foot level Oh
account OF the intense heat. The fire
rlen waded in water to their armpits
far back into the mine i'm an Ell
deayer to rescue the doomed men,
but were finally overcome by the iu-
tense heat and forced to return to the
mouth of the shaft. They report dead
bodies floating around in the mire
everywhere. and believe the number
of dead will total at least $50. when
the final count is made
The fire has spread to the Dia-
mOnd mine. where several men were
cut Off and asphyXiated by the dense
smoke. \ concrete bulkhead had been
started in the Speculator mine ard
tons of water are being poured into
the shaft in an endeavor to quench
the flames, but so far without any
success. 1t is expected that the dam
age to the property. which is one Of
