Governor viii Veto.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
ALBANY, N. Y, March 13.-Gov-
ernor Whitman will veto the bill put
ting ratification of the federal pro-
hibition amendment up to the people
instead of the state legislature. This
was learned on good authority today.
The referendum bill was passed by
the state assembly late yesterday.
The governor was strongly in favor
of ratification of the amendment by
the legislature. 1t is believed the
assembly bill will be substituted for
the senate bill calling for a referen-
dunn.
Hope that the assembly stseI9
would ratify the amendment was
shattered last night when following
six hours debate the assembly passed
the referendum measure.

BIG VICTORY FOR CZECHS
Opportunity for Allies to Move Into
Heart of Russia.

n6drI OF RUSSIA.
Vladovostok, Sept 9.-The Japanese
military staff has been Informed that
the Czecho-Slovakss hold the railway
from Olovyanna to Penza.
It Is now apparent that the unex-
pected climax in the Ozecho-SlOvak
break though was due partly to the
allied advance toward Khabarovsk,
which caused the transfer Of a large
bOlshevik force from Lake Baikal to-
ward Khabarovsk. The weakened
front then collapsed under the Czech
pressure from the west and General
Semenoff's pressure from the east.
The opportunity is now presented
Of the allies taking advantage Of the
strateg1cal points in the hands Of the
Czechs to move into the heart of Rus
sia, where considerable reinforce
ments from loyal Russian elements are
certain, and striking a stunning blow
at Germany.
Tokyo, Sept 9.-The war office is

ton.
"Our cavalry and detachment from
the COssack General Kalminoff's 3
troops, occupied Imam, and from there,
advanced toward B1kin.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Government
operations Of railroads for the seven
months ending August 1 are reviewed
In the first report Of Director General
McAdoo to President Wilson. The re-
port reveals that salaries paid railroad
much lower than received from COM
panies under private control. The
seven regional directors Of the railroad
administration get between $4,000
$4,000 a year and federal managers
of individual roads or systems varying
amounts between $1,000 and $4,000,
although under private control salaries
ranged as high as 100000 for railroad
presidents or chief executives.
At the same time 1T is shown that
directors Of the nine divisions of the
railroad administration are paid sal
aries between $4,000 and $4,000 each.
Mr.. McAdoo receives only $4,000 as
secretary of the treasury.

ing more than $1,000 under private

10000 u. S. MEN WOUNDED
Pershing Says Soldiers Were Only
Slightly Injured.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Under a new
policy Of reporting casualties in the
American expeditionary forces adopt
ed by, the war department, the nanes
OF the men wounded will be sent to
fhe United States by courier twice a
week and only the na0es Of the dead
and missing will be cabled by General
Pershing when the system is fully in
effect.
In making this announcement Gen
eral March, chief of staff, said General
Pershing has not heretofore sent in
the names of men slightly wounded
because generally the men had re-
turned to duty before the names
reached the United States. In reply
to an inquiry from the department
General Pershing had reported, Gen
eral March said, that there were 20,-
600 such casualties up to August 20.
Under the new plan the names of
all wounded will be sent to the Unit
ed States by courier, together with
their hospital records, so that state
ment Of the diagnosis can be furnished
to relatives of the men.

Washington, Sept. 9.--Newspaper

not pay newspapers for the publica-
ton, but local committees will can

been made the publicity bureaus
