HUGHES BACK IN POWER
Australian Parliament Receives Mo-
 tion Of Confidence

Melbourne, Jan. 11.-Several days Of political uncertainty have ended with the rc-installation in power of the nationalist government headed by William Morris Hughes. There has been no change in the makeup of the government. At one time it was thought that Frank Tudore, the labor leader, would be commissioned by the governor-general to form a labor movement.
 Premier Hughes is criticized by the press and is accused of breach of faith by some politicians because of the pledge he gave at Bendifo during the recent campaign that the nationalists would not govern the country if con- scriphon was defeated. The AustraI. ian voters returned a majority against conscription in the referendum.
 A motion of no confidence has been introduced in parliament by MT, Tu- dore.

Ensign Krylenllo, the Bolsheviki com mander-in-c chief, is reported to be or ganizine a volunteer army and has ordered all officers to return to the hosts thev held before the BOlShevik revolution.

 The Daily News correspondent says the anti -Bolshevik newspapers daily record Bolsheviki defeats, but it's cur ious that if defeated the Bolshevflzi advanced instead of retired. The map, he says, shows each reported defeat takes the Bolsheviki further into the enemy country. He mentions some Of these advances and adds the Black sea fleet is now controlled by the Bel sheViki.
 The Petrograd correspondent of the Times says great sums have been taken from tie state bank by forged checks since the bank has been in the possession of the Bolsheviki. Threc million rubles were withdrawn through one spurious check.

 Keepers.

New York, Jan. 11.--John Linko, 19 year old soldier of Is Beechmond street, Torrington, Conn.,, was arrest ed here today on charge of rob- ping restaurants in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. He was taken in company with another soldier, Adam Beckling, of Brooklyn by four detectives, who subdued the two men with drawn revolvers after they had pulled out their army pistols and threatened the officers.
 The arrest came as a result of complaints made by several restau- rant keepers in the district recently that they had been held up by two soldiers and their tills robbed. At the police station they admitted robbing restaurants, after they were identified by two of their victims and stolen property was found on them. Both men said they came from Camp Mer Tit, N J., from which they had been deserterS for l2 days.

COAL AFFECTS ICE
Shortage of Supply at Crcmo Brewing Company May Cause Temporary Abandonment of Ice Plant.

Announcement was made at the Cremo Brewing Co.,, Inc, today that owing to the shortage of the com pany's coal supply it is likely that the management will have to discontinue the manufacture and sale of ice in the near future.
 To the average person coal and ice may not be closely associated, but in order to operate the artificial refrig- erating plant in which the ice is made, steam power is necessary and herein lies the need of coal.
 The Cremo Brewing Go. manufac- lures large quantities of ice for pub lie consumption and has a large salo about the city.
