 Most of those killed yesterday were in sight of the Nadezhenskaia when the Moscow Bolshevil,i troops opened fire on unarmed Cossacks passing in the Nev- sky prospect Their own firing started a panic, in which five of their own num- Der were killed and 20 wounded.
 The Maximalists have asked for hors help from Kronstadt, most of the Kron- stadt contingent having returned homo last night. It was rumored today that a second influx of Kronstadt sailors might be expected before night.
 The St Peter and St. Paul fortress, although commanded by a Maximalist regiment, apparently is not in full sym pathy with the insurrectionists The gar rison at the fortress refused the demand of a machine gun contingent of the Max imalists to give them arms
 NJ. Tchernoff, minister of agriculture was arrested at the Duma by Maximal- ists, who started to take him away in an automobile as a hostage as he was delivering an address from the steps of the building.

Mrs. Manchester's Powers
 as Supreme Guardian
 Are Voted to Be LeSsened

Atlanta. July 1S.-Efforts to strengthen Mrs. Emma Manchester's powers as su- preme guardian in the Woodmen circle, an auxiliary of the Woodmen of the World, failed again today when section by section of the minority report of the law committee which recommended a curtailment of her official authority was adopted by the convention. Investment Of greater powers in the supreme coun- cil is predicted by many delegates as the outgrowth of the fight.
 It was intimated at the circle meeting today that the question would be taken to the courts by Mrs. Manchester, who, it was understood, will contest the ac- ton of the convention on the grounds that the bylaws of the circle can be changed only through a two-thirds ma jority vote.
 The principal business of the Woodmen of the World convention session was a debate on proposed measure to invest funds of the organization in farm lands. Congressman oscar Bland of Indiana was one of the leaders in the fight against the measure.

 Copenhagen, July 1S.-Admiral Von Trpitz has telegraphed ans appeal to Ernest Bassermann, the national liberal leader, who is now an invalid, to leave the sanitorium where he is under treat ment, and assist in the fight against the bloc resolution in the Reichstag. The Von Tirpitz message says:
 No passing food difficulties or war weariness must be allowed to soften the German peoples determination and render possible peace which would threaten the future of Germany and it's working classes. The bulk of the na- tional liberals will probably vote against the nonannexationist resolution"

 The resolution referred to probably is the one drawn up by the radical, social ist and Catholic deputies in the Reichs- tag before the resignation or pr. won Bethmann- -Hollweg. This resolution, which the majority bloc decided to in troduce unchanged upon the reassem- bling of the Parliament, stated that the Rejchstag was laboring for peace. and reconciliation; that forced acquisitions of territory, and political. economical and financial violations were incompati- ble with such a peace; that economy peace must be assured, and that. the Reichstag would promote the creation of internal judicial organiza tions

 The entire plan of the quartermaster' $ departments is to be entirely indepen- dent of the French at the earliest date possible, so as to be no burden either to the government or the population. The department is still trying to decide what to do with the gift made by the French government to the American troops fn honor of July IA, the French National holiday, consisting of cham pagne, red wines, jellies, ham and other delicacies. There is considerable quantity of champagne and red wine for each soldier and officer, but for the present the authorities have not been able to decide whether the distribution of these wines would be in violation of
 the spirit of the recent legislation cover ing the question of liquor to soldiers. So far the troops have been rigidly held to water, even though the difficult ties of Altering are considerable. Re frigerating plants will be necessary, both for water and food supplies, and rec concentrations for the construction of these plants have already gone forward.

Berne, July 17.-Private Berlin dis patches state that the speech to the Reichstag which Dr. Georg Michaelis, the new chancellor, is preparing will be delivered at o'clock on Thursday afternoon.
 It is reported that German parlia- mentary circles are still uncertain re- garding his attitude.
 Paris, July 1s.-A dispatch to the Temps from Geneva, says the German government according to reliable infor- nation, mediates the dramatic proposal complete disarmament, except for suffi- cient forces to maintain compulsory peace by compulsory arbitration.
 ''The German government, says the Temps, while allowing the solution of the internal crisis to appear as suc- cess for the pan-Germanists, has in view a maneuver of a quite different aspect. The. bellicose declarations which resound and will, perhaps, continue in Berlin, will be nothing but the prologue de signed to represent Germany as invinci- ble. Afterwards, perhaps sooner than is expected will come the theatrical initiative in which Germany will show a disposition to disarm.'

HOME AND CHILDREN MAKE JAIL SENTENCE OF WOMEN |RKSOME
Great Pressure Is Being Brought to Bear for Re- lease of WOman's
 Party Tickets

Washington July 1S.-Presidential intercession in the cases of the 16 suf- fragists sent to the District of Colum- days for picketing at the White House or appeal of their cases to higher court appeared certain tonight
 After long conference with President Wilson, J. A. II. Hopkins. former dem ocratic national committeeman from New Jersey and husband of one of the prs- oners, declared the President had been deeply shocked at the whole affair and on learning the circumstances has only one thought, namely, to straighten the matter out.
 The advisablity of urging the Susan E. Anthony suffrage amendment as an emergency war measure, was discussed by the President according to MT. Hop kins, who said he promised to supply the White House with canvass of Con- gress to show whether the proposal could be passed. He also declared the sugges- ton of presidential pardon for the prisoners appealed to MT. Wilson, but as that would not stop picketng, it is not regarded as. likely.
 While MT. Hopkins was comforting with the President Dudley Field Malone, col- ector of customs at New York, was plan ming an appeal in behalf of the women. He announced that he had retained George Gordon Battle. New York at torney, and another attorney whose name he did not mention to aid him.
 EXPRESS NO DESIRE
 None of the prisoners has expressed a desire to be released, but it is probable that the fines of some will be paid within a few days to set them free. Several have small children at home, others are old or weak, and still others came to Washington expecting to spend not more than a week as picSets. Suffrage leaders are ready to pay the fines of any who consent to it.
 MT. Malone, accompanied by Mir. Hop SiHs. Gilson Gardner, whose wife also is a prisoner, Miss Lucy Burns and Miss Mabel Vernon, conferred with the pris- oners at length today. MT. Malone is said to have offered to act as counsel, regardless of the effect it might have on his government position The prisoners, however, expressed the view that they would have to serve their. sentences any, how, and they had as well have them over with immediately MT. Malone then conferred with MT. Battle Mir. Hopkins, Frank P. Walsh, a Kansas City attorney, ana others, dHu dHHOuHccu lHdI He WOulu take the appeal Tonight he went to the workhouse and talked with the wom- en again.
 HIGHER-UPS
 The chief desire of persons urging the appeal. it is understood, to determine, f possible. from whom the police obtained their orders to break up picketng in front of the White House. sMr. Gardner declared he had learned that the instruc- tions were coming from persons higher up," but District Commissioner Brown low, who has charge of the police, to- night vigorously denied that the orders originated with any one except the com missioners who administer the District government F Suffragists complained tonight because the prisoners are not being given special privileges at the WorkhOuSe.

A chassis was exhibited az the New

the parts being finished in p carat
gold. of which 400 ounces were used.
One drawback to driving in car of
