announced at the White House today.
At the same time it was intimated
that the President would leave for
New York on the same afternoon and
would sail for Europe on the follow
ing morning.
1t was also said that one of the
presidents last official acts before

point successors to William G. Nc
Adoo, as Secretary of the Treasury,
and as Director General of Railways.
The presidents announcement
that he personally would be one of
the delegates to the peace confer

somewhat today. 1t had generally
been understood that he was to at
tend only the opening parleys as a
representative of the United States.

main abroad only six weeks.

18 Men Lost ON Ship
Struck by Lightning
Exposure Kills Is of Crew of
Steamer Dumaru; Two
Others Drowned

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Eighteen
men from the American steamer Dunn
aru lost their lives after the vessel
was wrecked near Guam last month
when lightning exploded her cargo Of
gasolene. The Navy Department an
nounced o-day that sixteen men died
from exposure and starvation in an
open boat and that two others were
drowned when the boat, with fourteen
Survivors, was making landing at
San Jose L'Oriente, Philippine Isl
ands, November O.
Te department announced that the
message gave the name of Frank
Bolin, naval ensign" as among the
lost, but as there Is 10 such name in
the naval register of officers, it was
assumed that this was mistake in
transmission and a duplication of the
name of Frank Bolin, deck boy. Ad-
vices from Guam at the time The
Dumaru went down, said Ensign A. c.
Holmes, U. S. NJ, was a passenger on
the vessel and the department has re-
ceived no further word from him.
The crew left the ship in three boats
and two of these were picked up soon
afterward. The third REACHED San
Jose after twenty-five days. For two
days those in the craft were without
food and for five days they were with
out water.

Sure Husband Is Dead
Woman Gets Official Ruling
to Satisfy Relatives

Two weeks ago Mrs. Mary McGeachy,
of 121 Third Street, Long Island City,
buried her husband who had died in
Texas while serving as a member of a
hospital unit at Fort Sam Houston.
Yesterday she appeared before Mag
istrate Miller, in the Long Island City
police court, to prove that it was really
her husband she had buried.
Mrs. McGcachy was actually the
plaintiff in the court proceedings. She
had summoned her sister in law, Mrs.
Christine Reckcrt to court because. ac-
cording to her story, Mrs. Reckert and
other relatives circulated the report
that she had buried the wrong man.
Joseph Trudden, the undertaken who
oiiiciated al the funeral, told the court
the body had been properly identified.
In consequence, Magistrate Miller sent
Mrs. McGcachy home, thoroughly vim
dlcated, and suspended sentence on
Mrs. Reckert after finding her guilty
OF annoying the former.

Order Prohibiting
Coal Survey Here
Filed With Senate
Committee Hears Letter of
Administrator Garfield
Read at Inquiry

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-Failure Of
coal producing agencies to utilize culm
banks or waste coal to relieve the fuel
shortage and Fuel Administrator Gar
fields objection to Mayor Hylan's in
ventory last month of New York City's
coal supply were subjects of inquiry to-
day by the Senate committee investi-
eating the fuel situation.
j. B. Neale, director of production
for the fuel administration and owner
of anthracite properties, told the COM
mittee he knew Of no alleged under
standing among mine owners to keep
culm off the market as means Of
maintaining high prices. He attrib-
uted the failure of the owners of culm
banks to utilize fully that product to a
shortage of labor and desire to pre-
vent reduction of the output of fresh
coal by taking men from the mines for
the work of treating the cheaper
grades.
The committee asked that letters of
Fuel Administrator Garfield to Mayor
Hylan objecting to New York's invcn-
tory OF its coal supply be produced
Fuel administration officials agreed to
present them tomorrow.
Mayors Letter Filed
The Mayors letter to the Police
Commissioner ordering the survey to
determine whether favoritism was be-
ing shown in the distribution of coal
in New York was read into the record
by William P. Burr Corporation Coun-
sci of Now York.
The Mayor declared in his letter
that whio there was dangerous
shortage of coal in the city, the socuri-
ties of coal producing agencies had
increased in value.
No Price Fixing
In answer to questions from Senator
Reed as TO whether the railroad owned
mines engaged in price fixing which
other miners were compelled to meet,
Mr.. Neale said there was no such
understanding, and that occasionally if
the outside mine owners had an over
supply they cut the prices published
by the railroads.
The committee plans to hear more
witnesses on the New York situation
tomorrow,

First Premier of Republic Says Boshevik Hope to Retain
Power by Terror More Horrible Than in Worst
Years of Cars Reign

Prince Lvoff, Premier of Russia 8
first provisional government and now
n fugitive from his native land, arrived
here from Wash O. toN yesterday, and
for the first time since he came to this
country to discuss Russian affairs with
President Wilson, spoke for publica-
tion concerning The situation in his
unhappy nation.
Bolshevism, according to Prince
Lvotf, won Russia over by false prom
itself in power by manifestations of
the most brutal force. The Bolshevik
reign is a reign Of terror. The future
of Russia means nothing to them. They
only desire to make the land hearth
on which a worldwide conhagration
can be kindled. Unless they are
checked by strong intervention on the
part of the Allies, Prince Lvoff Believes
that they may succeed in their designs.
Treachery brought the Bolsheviki
into power, the Russian leader said.

Envoy Says Holland
Looks to Wilson to
Assure Real Peace
New Dutch Minister to
Washington Tells of Lack
Of Food Abroad

Holland looks to President Wilson's
fourteen peace terms to promote the
goodwill Of the nations of the world
and to bring about q lasting and dur
able peace, according to ]. Theodore
Cremer, newly appointed Minister from
the Netherlands to the United States.
Mr.. Cremer left New York yeste erday
afternoon for Washington to take up
his duties. The minister left Hol-
land November 8, two days before the
signing Of the armistice. Representa-
tives of the Dutch Legation at Wash
ington came to New York to greet the
new envoy.
Holland has many difficult problems
to solve, Mr.. Cremer says. Chief
among these is the food situation
which is still very acute, and what to
do with the thousands of refugees from
the warning nations who hocked to the
haven of the Netherlands during the
four years of war. Food is very
scarce, he said, but his government
looks for immediate release of nine
or ten Dutch ships lying at the Port
Of New York
Rice Crop is Failure
AS an indication Of the seriousness
of the situation the minister cited
the refusal of a large delegation of
French refugees reaching the Dutch
border to accept bread offered them by
the Dutch, which they regarded as
worse even than what they had re-
ceived in Belgium. What has com.
ri M,,:o
said, was the failure of this seasons
rice crop in the Dutch colonies, neces
stating the taking of stringent meas
ures by the Governor General at Java
Internal conditions ir Holland are
by no means as bad as reports re
ceived in this country might indicate
said the minister. The recen
agitation looking to the abdication Of
Queen Wihelmina. he said, was
brought about by the two factions OF
Socialists, who are greatly in the
minority. The great masses of tn,
people dolizc the Queen, and when tn,
criticism toward the government mad,

Nation in Chaos
almost all the branches of their

and they are unable to inforce, even
by the most cruel and sanguinary
measures, the submission of the border
lands and the execution of their de-

Through the splendid herosm of the
Czecho- -Slovaks, Prince Lvoff said that
Russa's chance for deliverance had
come.
unfortunately" he continued, eth e
Czecho- -Slovaks are numerically weak.
Left to their own resources, they might
get weary and succumb, and with them
would collapse the young Russian
army and the newly born idea of pub

"The Russian army is in need of

of Russia consists in additional man
