 Binding PetrOgrad.

London. March 7.-The Germans have captured Hamburg, east of Narva, while the Turko-German of fensive is continuing beyond Treb- izond, says a Russian official agency dispatch here today.

 Trebiz0nd is on the Black sea coast of Turkish Armenia. The Turks were reported to have reach ed the Trebizond region in their of fensive when the recent peace treaty was signed.

Means Russian Ruin

petrograd, March 6. .- (Delayed) - To a gathering of workmen's and soldiers delegates ot Moscow, on Monday, NJ. Prekrovsky, leader of the second peace delegation at Brest-Litovsk explained the treaty with the central powers. Deeply moved, he begged those in sympa- thy with the democratic revolution not, to deceive themselves.
 The new frontiers traced by Ger many M prekroysky declared, con- stitute a ring of iron around revo- lutionary Russia. He said the Ger mans were endeavoring to stifle the revolution, the conquests of which were reduced to nothing by the economic demands of Berlin. The decree nationalizing the banks had fallen into abeyanee because the German terms had the effect of converting the banks into German concerns. Military evacuation by Russia of Esthonia, Courland and Liyonia gave the enemy full author ity in those regions.
 NJ. Zinovieff, president of the Pe- trograd council of workmen's and soldiers delegates: NJ. Sverdloff and others from Petrograd, addressed the conference. They said the Rus sian representatives were obliged to sign the peace agreement, as tact ical measure, owing to the situation brought about by Ukraine in agree ing to ignominious peace terms The adopted no resolution.

OKLAHOMA 2-CENT
 RATE IS ENJO|NED
Judge Youmans Declares State Cor poration Commission Has No Jurisdiction Over Freight
 and Passenger Rates.

Oklahoma City, March i2.- The two-cent passenger rate provision of the Oklahoma state constitution was permanently enjoined today in an opinion handed down by Judge Frank A. Aoumans, of the United States district court for the western district of Arkansas.
 An order issued by the Oklahoma state corporation commission in which the commission took juris- diciton over freight and passenger rates within the state also was en- joined permanently. The case has been pending in the United States court since 1909.
 History of the Case
 In 1916 the plainti1s filed amend ed bills challenging certain freight orders made by the corporation commission. The opinion also sets aside these freight rate orders.
 The Atchinsons Topeka X Santa Fe, the Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe, the Rock Island, the Frisco and the Kansas City Southern railroads were plaintiffs in the suit and the state corporation commission and other state officers were named as defendants.
 Rate Held Coniiscatory
 The opinion upholds the eonten- tion of the railroads that the con- stitutional provision for two-cent fare is confiscatory and that such passenger rates and rate for freight as fixed by the corporation commis- sion discriminate against the inter- state business of the railroads.
 There were 8,56S printed pages of testimony submitted, in addition to between 400 and 500 exhibits.

FREE OF DlsLOYALTW CHARGE
Neighborhood Trouble Caused the
 Arrest of ]. c. Hauerwas.

J. c. Hauerwas of the Posey Hol- low neighborhood was before Jus tice of the Peace s. H. Smith on the charge of having committed a breach Of tho peace. The informa- ton was filed by Deputy prosecut- ing Attorney w. Prickett with Mir. and Mrs. J. P Klud as prosecuting witnesses. The information alleged that the offense consisted in using threatening language and actions toward J. P. Klud. It developed in the trial of the case that the diffi- culty arose over discussion of the war situation, and Mrs. Klud testi- fled that the language used by the defendant consisted in making dis loyal remarks about the United States and favorable to Germany, which angered both Mir. and Mrs. Klud klud, however, in his testi- mony could not recall the language and he testified also that the occur renee took place before the United States had declared war. Mir. Haul erwas in testifying in his own be- half denied the statements of Mrs. klud, and he also stoutly proelaim- ed his loyalty to this country, say ing that he had served under the. Stars and Stripes and that he was ready to serve again Under the conflicting testimony Squire Smith discharged the defendant, but in so doing cautioned both the defendant and the prosecuting witness that this was no time for an American citizen to show disloyalty, either in words or actions.
