Siberia in as Chaotic
 Condition as Russia

Harbin, Manchuria, February 2S.-(Cor- | respondence of the Associated Press). The overthrow of the original provisional government in Petrograd and the chaotic conditions which followed the assump- tion of power by the bolsheviki in central Russia were followed by similar move- ment in Siberia. Officers of the army were massacred in large numbers, their families as we'll as those of the intelli- gent and wealthy classes were killed in the same way or suffered worse fate and large towns like 1rkutsk Harbar- ovsk, Blagoveschefsk and Chita, were
 given over to pillage and murder At Vladivostok, where there are many
 millions of dollars worth of military and
 other supplies, the bolsheviki had control
 and it was only the presence of foreign warships in the harbor which prevented
 them from seizing these much needed stores.
 Attempts have been made by the mod crates to put an end to this useless blood shed by establishing an independent Si- beria in which the bosheviki should be fully represented in the administration. It was proposed that the independent government should uphold the Kerensky constitution, and that while it would be autonomous it would acknowledge the authority of the Petrograd government when order had been established there The scheme met with failure At the first meeting of the delegates al On.sk, the bolsheviki, finding that they could not dominate the meeting, suddenly drew revolvers and began to shoot those delegates who were not of the same opn- 1 ion as themselves. Thirty-two of them were killed and 70 seriously wounded Thus ended the attempt to govern Si beria on constitutional lines.
 Tn the old regime Siberia was used as I the dumping ground for the German and 1 Austrian prisoners. The bolsheviki hav- | ing killed the officers and dismissed the
 men guarding these prisoners, Russian control over them practically ceased to l exist Many of them were given their l freedom, while others purchased Rus | sian passports and were allowed to 1 travel as they pleased in Russia and 1 Siberia.
 l Al Omsk, Tomsk and Irlzutsk the bol- sheiviki have armed them and they are working with the latter to protect the l ra iiway against the Semenoff Cossack l government, which has declared itself anti bolshevik and is attempting to re- store order in Siberia.
 1 The arning of the German prisoners is 1 serious menace.
 In Priamuria alone there are l5.t2 pris- l oners, of which 5000 are officers. while in | Irkutsk and in towns westward of it as ! far as Krasnoyarsk there are another 40.tOD

BILBO ON THE STUMP

Governor Bilbo left here few days since for points in the Sixth district wherein he is a candidate for Congress to succeed Pat Harrison, candidate for the Senate against Nardaman. The gov ernor's home is in that district, and he feels very much at home in every eoun- ty. He has very strong opposition, but expresses himself as confident of vic tory at the August primary. There are three other candidates, viz: Judge Paul Johnson of Hattiesburg, Zan Anderson of Hattiesburg and Eaton J. Bowers of Gulf port, a former congressman from that district It is evident that there will be no selection in the primary, and that in three weeks the two candidates re- ceiving the highest vote in the first round will have to try it over. It is expected that the second race will be between Governor Bilbo and Judge Johnson.

MAY SHELL WOODS

In the event that Congress adjourns early enough for the Mississippi candi- dates to get home and shell the woods a little, interest will revive, as a matter of course, as Mississippians all enjoy cry time there is joint debate .and near-f1ght at every meeting. There is no denying the fact that Senator Vardaman has a whole lot of friends scattered around over the state. There is no doubt he has lost a great many friends and old supporters since the last primary in which he defeated two of the best men in the state by a majority of more than 25, coo. It is hardly possible that he has lost this many votes, but it is certain he has made no new friends. A change of 12, 900 of his old votes will send him to the discard. It is believed he has lost more than that number, and that he will get none of the votes of the boys who have become old enough to vote during the past five years. These are. as a rule. in the army. or have been drafted-and Vardaman will get none of them.
 Ex- Governor Noel the senatorial can didate who is on the scene, is not making much hay while the sun shines. He has made few speeches, but has not enter ed upon an active canvass of the state. He has a great many old friends who are going to support him, and his vote may be surprising. The prohibitionlsts have always been for Noel-and then he is a mighty good Baptist, and they are a powerful factor in Mississippi. cleo lions
