RELEASES STRANGE
ACTING ENGL|SHMAN
MAN WHO CLAIMS TO BE A DE-
TECTIVE AND DOCTOR is
GIVEN HIS LIBERTY

Charles Harreman, a native of Eng
land and subject of Canada, who was
arrested week ago on a charge of in
sanity, was discharged today by Judge
Adrian Nelson of the probate court,
after having been held in the jail week.
Judge Nelson decided the man is not
insane, or had recovered from his men
tai delusions and he was released with
the understanding that he leave town.
The man was employed by the Mark
P Miller Milling company of Moscow,
and claims to have hurt his back while
working in the mill. He has had influ-
enza and after his recovery claimed to
be a doctor and went about Moscow,
calling at private homes and demanding
to take the temperature of the women
His strange actions have been under
the surveillance of the police force for
six weeks. 1t is charged that he was
in the habit of getting a lot of boys
around him and then frightening them
by making threats. He claimed to be
detective and tried to throw a scare"
into a number of the S. A. T. c. men
here. 1t is believed by many that he is
unbalanced mentally
The man is said to be a giant in Size
standing six feet and four inches in
height, and has a powerful frame. The
police force will feel relieved if he
leaves town as he is said to have agreed
to do. So far as known he has no rel
atives here.

MRS. F. THER|AULT
BACK FROM ALASKA
FORMER MOSCOW WOMAN
BRINGS BODY OF HUSBAND
WHO DIED IN FAR NORTH

Mrs Fred Theriault, who has lived
in Alaska over two years, and returned
last week to Moscow, says the ther-
mometer at Anchorage, where she lived,
has registered 40 degrees below zero,
but it is such a dry cold it is not dis
agreeable, unless a wind is blowing.
Anchorage has numbered about 5000
inhabitants, but most of the population
has returned to the states, so now
there are not more than 300 in the city
and most of them are with the Alaskan
Engineering Commission of the rail
road
The coal mines and other mines are
doing very little work this winter To
reach Seward from Anchorage, ia
miles by train, was slow progress since
the ice had to be picked and shoveled
out in front of the engine. Probably 100
men were employed at this task. Last
winter only dog trains made the trip.
At Seward terrific wind was blowing
so that noses and fingers were frozen
while walking only few blocks. It'll
took almost two weeks to make the trip
by boat from Seward to Seattle and the
inside passage was taken, that is be-

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
DID SPLENDID WORK

The associated charities have remem-
bered many individual families this
Christmas and sent a fine big box of
presents to the Lewiston home contain
ing p pairs of new shoes, pair for
each child in the home and a lot of new
toys for the children, besides candy, nuts
and oranges. On account of the hard
times caused by the influenza epidemic,
the home felt it could not afford to give
the children the usual Christmas pres
ents, SO our association remembered
them.
The old folks at the county home
were sent candy, nuts, oranges, pipes,
handkerchiefs, stockings and
warm capes. These were all done up
in pretty "Christmasy" packages to car
ry the spirit of the season.

CONGRESS WANTS TO
Have A CLEAN Slate !
At CLOSE WAR YEAR
VIII Try to Have All Import
ant Bills Out Of the Way
by April 6
By L. G. Martin
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

\ L
Washington, March IL. Congress
wants the close of the war year-April
6-to find all major war bills off the
slate.
So, from today on, dallying will be
the exception rather than the rule,
leaders said, and diligence will be ap-
piled. With less than a month to April
6, the leaders hope to clear, aside all
but appropriation measures and second
airy bills.
The house was expected to spend
little time over the conference report
on the railroad control bill.
Leaders realized today that inspite of
President Wilson'S statement that he
considers the war finance corporation
bill necessary war measure, some time
will be required to get it through the
house. The real difficulty in the way of
realizing the "clean slate" program is
the opposition to the administration IS
price fixing and compulsory food saving
bills.
The Overman empowering measure is
another likely to blast hopes of leaders.
The senate judiciary committee met to-
day in another effort to satisfy oppon-
ents of the measure and get it reported
out, but Senator Reed has paraphrased
the slogan of the French at Verdun,
and applied it to the Overman bill-"it
shall not pass"

Move Seat of Government to
Moscow and Organize for
Resistance Il
FORM ALLIANCE WITH

Oppose Intervention by Japan

Being Formed
By oJseph shaplen

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Petrograd, March 1O.---The ogvern-
ment is moving to Moscow as a first
step in organization of resistance ON
all fronts, according to an official press
today.
1t IS believed it may be necessary for
the Bolshevik government to fight both
and Germany and Japan.
The Bolshevik congress has discarded
the name social-democratic, and
adopted the title of the Communist
party" as it does not wish to have anv
similarity to the German party of which
Philip Scheidemann is the leader in the
reichstag.
A treaty of alliance with the Finnish
red guards has been signed by the Boil
shevlk government, offsetting the Ger
ann treaty with the white guards in
Finland.
Details of German treatment of tho
inhabitants of lands which they have
overrun continue to come in. In Fin
land, the German police and military
system is invoked against the people.
Inc newspapers have been suppressed.
Workingmen organizations have been
dispersed and hundreds arrested.
Many are reported executed in Esth-.
onia, where even the bourgeoisie have
been strongly curbed by the Germans.
(The bouregoisie were suspected by
the Bolshevik of favoring the German
invasion.)
Most violent prosecutions were re-
ported from Riga.
Smolny Institute reported heavy Ger
man forces moving from Homel toward
Novozibkoff, which city the Russians
are preparing to defend. Germans con-
centrated on the Orsha front have re-
treated.
