LIFT EMBARGOES
OF TWO OF BIC
EASTERN ROADS

Washington, Feb. 19-Freight con-
ditions are so much better in the
East that the railroad administration
announced today that it had been
able to lift the embargo restrictions
on several important articles of small
bulk contributing to production or
food fuel or the maintenance of
health.
Although this modification applies
formally only to the Pennsylvania
Erie and Baltimore & Ohio, on which
the official embargo has been impos-
ed for more than a month, the effect
will be automatically to remove local
restrictions on other roads, connect
ing with these trunk lines.
Railroads were instructed to en-
barge consignees who do not unload
freight promptly on arrival, subject
to the approval of the regional dl-
rector.

PECULIAR WILL
is FILED TODAY

self and husband to die natural
deaths. Susan I. Bennett of Trumbull,
specifies in her will filed in the Pro
bate court today that her estate shall
be given to the Methodist Episcopal
church of Nichols at her husbands S
death, but if she and her husband met
violent deaths at the same time, the
will says, the estate would have been
devised to an individual.
Mrs. Bennett died On February 5
and her husband survives. She left
an estate estimated to be worth be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000. Having
died a natural death, according to the
will, her homestead is bequeathed to
the husband, Edgar R. Bennett, who
is also given life use of the remaining
real estate and personal property.
At the husbands death, the will
directs, the estate shall be held in
trust for the Methodist Episcopal
church of Nichols for the creation of a
fund to be known as the Birdsey Cur
tis cher maiden name) fund.
In event both had met violent deaths
at the same time, the property would
have been given to Alice F. Reed,
wife of Herbert Reed of Trumbulll. A
sister of the testatrix. Augusta Wade,
of 20S Ogden street, is not mentioned
in the will. The document was drawn
on June 5, 1904. Edgar R. Bennett
is named executor C. H. Minor and
Arthur Lockley were appointed ap-
praisers by Judge Paul L. Miller.

Ever since the night of the tragedy

sent out from Gary were not suff1-

weeks of waiting that he was able to
get sufficient details to warrant him
in arresting Schramm.

FINDS FELICE is
GUILTY OF DEATH

George Felice is held criminally re-
sTronsible by Coroner J. J. Phelan for
the death of Giuseppe Quattone of
South Norwalk, who died February
II from the effect of bullet wounds
due to a shot fired by Felice in a
quarrel. Felice has not been appre-

| Quattone, e5 years old, and Felice,
about IS, quarreled over a relative of
| Quattone who had, been sliding on the
ice near the home of Felice. There
are some features which might indi-
cate self-defense, but although rela-
tives of Felice promised to produce
him before the coroner yesterday he
failed to appear.
The finding has been sent to the
prosecuting officers and attempt will
be made to trace Felice and bring him
before the courts.

INDEMNITY
DEMANDED
OF RUSS
Germany in Brest-L LitovsA
Farley Wanted Annexa-
tion Also.

London, Feb. ia dispatch to
the Times from PetrOgrad under
date of Feb. is quotes Leon Trot-
zky, the Bolshevik foreign minis
ter, as declaring in his report on
the ending of the negotiations at
Brest-Litovsk that the German
terms included the retention of
Poland, Lithuania, Riga and Moon
island and an indemnity of SOO,-
900 pounds, presumably in gold.
The Daily News has dispatch
from Petrograd dated Feb. 13 re-
porting typhus spreading in that
city, with 60 per cent. of the cases
fatal. The epidemic was attribut-
ed to starvation conditions and
the return of soldiers whose cloth
ing presumably carried the germs
of infection. Nearly 600 cases of
the disease are reported in one
hospital and the infection is said
to have spread through lack of
disinfection of clothing and of the
cabs in which the sick were taken
to the hospital.

These facts have become known
through captured German prisoners
and other channels.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
Gen. Won Ludendorff appear to have
realized that the old methods of at
tack, in which a long bombardment is
employed, are too well known to pro-
duce the results desired.
Despite assurances and the intens-
i've training to which they have been
put, the German troops frankly are
skeptical of the success of the new
offensive and are undertaking their
task with no enthusiasm, according
to prisoners.
1t is reported that Gen. Won Luden-
dorff recently addressed a body of
infantry at Loan and asked how
many men were willing to fight to a
finish. Only five non-commissioned
officers and privates stepped forward.
The others declared their desire for
an early peace by arrangement"

Dispatches from Petrograd state
that Rumania has perfected an alli-
ance with the Ukraine government,
their military forces have joined
hands and the amalganated armies
including a number of Ukrainian reg
iments and several battalions of Rus
sian troops, in command of General
Stcherbarchef, have occupied Kishi-

The sailors of the Rumanian cruiser
squadron have revolted and Joined
hands with the Bolsheviki. A num-
ber of the rebellious sailors were cap
tured and promptly executed by order
of General Stcherbarcheff.
Following dispatches from the re-

He served as minister of Agriculture in
the Kerensky government during last
July and August. Tchernof has been
a strong advocate of land reform and
has been aligned with the Minimalists.
The manner in which Germany
played off the Ukraine against the Boil
sheviki is regarded as a characteristic
example of German diplomatic tradi-
ton. It is felt that the Ukrainian call
for German help has been issued "a

plausible pretext for taking advantage

BRITISH TENSION
NOW RELAXED

London, Feb. 19-Tension in the po-
litical world in connection with mill
tary affairs has relaxed considerably
This is due largely to the acceptance
by Gen. Robertson, former chief of
the imperial general staff, of the cas-
tern command, which removed
anxiety lest his services be lost to the
country. The eastern is a first class
command with all the highest emolu-
ments and is especially important as it
would likely be the first to be affect
! ed by any attempted German inva-
| sion.

COSSACK KETMAN,
Cen. KALED|NES
KILLED HIMSELF

Petrograd, Friday. Feb. 15-Gen.
Kaledlnes, hetman of the Don Co.'S
sacks, committed suicide at Novo
Tcherkask, headquarters of the Don
Cossacks, during a session of the Novo
Tcherkask government which he at
tended. The government decided to
resign and transfer tbs power to the
local workmen's and soldiers council.
After the decision Gen. Kaledines went
to an adjoining room and shot him
self.
Gen. Nazaroff, who succeeded Gen.
Kaledines as leader of the Don Cos
sacks, ordered the immediate mobi-
lization and arming of all Cossacks
ofight the Bolsheviki troops advanc-
ing toward Novo Tcherkask.
AS leader of the Don Cossacks Gen.
Kaledines was opposed to the Boil
sheviki and he was the leader of the
counter revolt against the BoIsheviki
early last December. On Jan. l the
republic of the Don was declared with
Gen. Kaledines as president and prime
minister. 1t probably was the resig-
nation of this government that led to
his suicide.
In five weeks during June and July,
1915, Russian troops under Gen. Kale-
dimes captured 10000 prisoners in an
advance in Volhynia. He was elect
ed leader of the Don Cossacks in July,
1917.
