Delayed advices as to the final ses-
sions of the peace conference at Rrest-

the Russian delegates demanded return
OF war refugees from the Polish and

termination plan was carried out.
q furthey stipulation demanded bv
the Russians was that there be NO for
clDle mobilization of the Poles or Lith-
uanlans and that those of this nation-
alty arre%ted for taking up arms
against the Central Powers or imprison-
ed for peace efforts, be released forth

10 these demands the Germans replied
that they all ''involved an internal pol-

direction. The Russians announced this
answer was unsatisfactory, and that
they would continue pressing their de-
mands.
The Russian delegates today forward

ter Delegate Golubovitch had announce

republic at the meeting, German For

whether the Russians intended to con-
tinue as 'isole directors" of the nego-
tiations.
Foreign Secretary Trotsky replied
that he and other Russian delegates
accepted the Ukrainian declaration Of
1 separate independent existence in
view of the Russians recognition of the
of self-determination
Kuehlmann insisted that the Ukrain-
aus only pc permitted TO participate in
he conference independently, apparent
y seeking to establish the double char

Trotsky then replied that the Ukrain-
ans republic was still in process Of
ormation and Golubovitch, in support
ng him, asserted that the Ukrainians

esentatives of one 'front.'
According to the Russian version,

Paris, Jan 14.-Joseph Cailleaux,
former premier and minister of JUS

oned today as the outgrowth Of charg-
es of treason lodged against him in
connection with the Bolo Pasha case.
Cailleaux is a member of the cham

charges.
The chamber of deputies and spe-

against the former premier. 1t was
alleged he aided Bolo Pasha in the
Levantine s efforts to deceive France
into German made peace; that he
sought to create discord between
France and Italy and that he was CON

Petr0grad, Jan. 1.-THE Bolsheviki
are working strenuously to make Petro-
grad ga clean city, The cleanup was
on in full vigor today. One result was
the arrest OF three hundred gamblers
aud drunks in a huge raid ON a motor
ious dive last night. Other raids netted
more criminals and riffraff. Strenuous
efforts are being made TO clear up the
problems of food administration and to
make the city orderly and neat.
The same sort OF procedure of order,
of cleaning up, is being steadily work
ed by the Boisheviki as applied to the
whole government situation. Despite
feverish opposition by those politically
opposed, the TrotskyLenine govern
ment is preparing calmly to arrange the
Pan Russian congress of woFkmen, sol
diers and peasants-the body with
which it is hoped to replace the elected
constituent assembly. The Bolsheyiki
hope by this all-Russian congress to
create an assembly similar to that in
stituted in France IN 1892, which viii
become the supreme law-giying body for
Russia.
The executive committee of the all
Russian peasants soviet today decided
to urge the executive committee of the
proposed ali-Russian congress of work
men and soldiers to bring the Romon-
offs back to Petrograd from Tobolsk.
1t was suggested the royal family be
imprisoned at ronstadt.
The committee urged the arrest of
all members Of the ex-ezar s family who
still are at large and the institution of
"a commission to try the Romanoffs as
soon as possible "not only to punish the

The Bolsheviki are exercising mag
netic influence over the proletariat at
large under the slogans of Glass war
and Fan immediate social revolli4o
accusing the social revolutionaries and
the mensheviks (the minamilists) of
.surrendering to the Burgoreoise and de-
nying the contention of their opponents
that all classes must cooperate TO build
up. The Trotsky-Lenine disciples insist
that complete socialist regime is i'm
possible without any capitalist interval
of control. This participation in the re-
organization by the capitalists is the
principal bone of contention among the
various political groups today.
Smolny Institute, headquarters or the
Bolsheviki and just now headquarters of
the Russian government, offers an amaz-

IDENTIFIES
CAPTAIN WHISTLERAS
CAMP FUNSTON FIEND
Army Authorities Are Look
ing for AccOnlpIice Of
Dead Murderer

Camp Funston, Kansas, Jan. a.
lWornall, only surviving witness of the
hatchet murders and robbery at the
iarmory bank here Friday night, awoke
from troubled sleep in the Fort Ri
ley hospital and stared into the face
of the man who had hacked four of
Wornall's companions to death and
battered Wornalll into unconscious
ness
The murderer, dressed in his army
captain S uniform, sat in wheel chair
at Wor'nall s bedside, horribly rigid
of attitude, and gazed at the wound
ed man with sightless eyes.
Wornall, paralyzed momentarily
with horror, finally found his voice.
That's the man-Captain Whis-
lerl he cried and tainted.
Military officials in their zeal to
establish the identity of the murderer
and robber, had staged a scene worthy
of Poe.
After testing Wornall's eyes by
reading, they had permitted the bank
cashier to sink into a sleep. Then they
had dressed the body OIL captain Lewis
e. Whistler, who shot himself hate Sat
urday when confronted with expos
ure, placed it in wheel chair and
trundled it to Wornall's bedside Sun
day.
The shock to the wounded man, on
arousing. was severe, but physicians
said it would not affect his recovery
Looking for Accomplice
Military authorities were proceed
ing today on the theory that the man
who robbed the armv cantonment bank
here Friday night, numbering four
men with a hatchet and seriously
wounding another, had an accomplice.
A suitcase is missing from the quar-
ters of Captain Lewis E. Whistler, sus
pected of the murder and robbery,
who shot and killed himself late Sat
urday Investigators believe the mon
ey may have been carried, away in
this.
Federal bank examiners and mill
tary officials refused to estimate the
amount stolen until the checking of
accounts is completed some time late
today. Reports were current, however,
that the amount might reach $4,000.
Little of Loot Recovered
The only portion of the loot so far
recovered is roll of 3g' one dollar
bills, found in the snow a short dis
tance from the bank The walls and
floor of Whistler s quarters were being
torn open today in search of posi-
Bile hiding place for the money.

dressed note telling of his contemplat
ed suicide was to be traced and her
