BBOOIL BBOLSSH||E!|SSTS ISHEHH|STS TO
BE BOYCOTTED
World Wide Economic Blockade Is
Planned Against Russia's Reds
Allies Lead the Movement, and
Neutrals viii Be Asked to Aid.

Paris, Oct 20-"Boyeott the Boil
sheviks," is the latest remedy pro-
posed for dealing with the Reds Of
Russia.
A world wide eeosomic blockade Of
the former Cars domain is proposed
by the supreme council and it looks
like certain winner in putting the
soviet government on the skids.
Following the news that the Su-
preme Council had sent a note to
Germany and Austria requesting them
to abstain from all commerce with the
Russia of Lenine and Trotzky, it was
said that practically all the neutrals
had agreed to a similar note sent to
them
1t is believed Germany and Austria
will accede to the request. If not the
allies are prepared TO force those gov
ernments into line. With the neutrals
the allies and Germany and Austria,
acting together the economic blockade
would be complete. Acceptance by
Germany, moreover, would remove
the danger of Germany trying to de-
velop soviet Russia for her own ends.
The sending of the note to Germany
has made something of stir. Ma
tionalists are attacking it on the
ground that the victorious allies
should not be asking Germany to do
anything. 1t is attacked by Socialists
ON the ground that the Supreme Coun-
Gil is going to starve the millions Of
soviet Russia for the sake of the idea.
Americas role in this program is
somewhat obscure. The American del
egation knew this note was going to
neutrals and knew the contents. II
did not join in sending the note to
Germany and Austria, and in having
the warships enforce the blockade, as
the French and English are doing IN
the Baltic.
The reason for this dates back sew
eral months, when France and Eng
land first proposed a pacific blockade
of soviet Russia. The American del
egation said that America recognized
no blockade except in time of war and
could take no part in any physical
blockade Of the Boisheviki. 'Erhs
United States agreed that clearance
papers would be granted to no ship
going to soviet Russia.

COUNTY AND PROBATE COURT.
Judge Finger Fixed Tax Value Of the
Sewer System at $500.

On Wednesday Judge H. w Fin
ger had business in his dual capacity
as county and probate Judge As
county Judge, he passed upon the ap-
peal of H. w. Cardwell on the valua-
tion fixed by the County Assessor on
the Mena Sewer System. After the
close Of the assessing period, the
county assessor had placed valua-
tion Of $14,250 on the sewer system,
and from this assessment the appeal
was taken. The court held that the
assessment had been made out Of
time, and was therefore void. He held
also that the appeal was filed out of
time, and therefore Judge Finger
made an assessment of his own, fixing
the value of the property at $500.
In the capacity of probate judge,
Judge Finger was called upon to pass
on the petition Of Mark Dover, filed
by his attorneys, Norwood & Alley,
praying for the dismissal of Minor
Pipkin as administrator of the estate
of I. NJ. Dover, deceased. Attorneys
McPhetrige a Martin filed demurrer
on behalf of the administrator, and
this was sustained by the court.
Thereupon the attorneys for the
petitioner filed an affidavit for appeal
to the circuit court.

.LAbUR LEAD[R
WARNS CAPITAL
Gompers Asserts Steel Makers VIII
Deal With Bolshevists il Conserva-
tive Workers Are fgnored-Arbi-
tratfon Is Not Likely.

Washington, Oct. f5.--Samuel Com
pers, in urging his proposal to arbi-
trate the steel strike, told the indus
trial conference that unless capital
comes to an agreement with the con-
labor movement, it will even
tualy have to deal with rampant rad
iealism Of the /. w. w. and Bolshevist
type.
"Our movement is constructive in
character" he said, shaking his fn-
ger in the direction of Gilbert H. Gary
of the United States Steel Corpora
tion, who sat across the aisle, 10 feet
away.
you may dislike it. You may dis
like up well enough or sufficiently mol
to wish to meet us in our representa-
tive capacity; you may not want TO
enter into an agreement with us; but
let me say to you, you will either come
to an agreement with us, or you will
destroy the ability Of our men in our
movement to stand up for the right.
We will be discarded as impotent or
unfaithful.v
The speech. the first real bitter ut
terance on either side since the session
started came after the arbitration
proposal had come to showdown, af-
ter day Of shuffiing and jockeying.
It's thumbs down for the arbitra-
ton idea. Labor is for il; capital is
against. The public group is divided.
Before the Gompers speech ma
jority Of this heterogeneous assembly
which embraces all shades of economic
views, from the dark brown reaction
airy to the salmon pink radical, was
against arbitration. AS result Of
Gompers' speech, some leaders faneied
some votes might have changed.
But in conference like this, com
josed mainly of men and women who
have done much thinking on labor
questions, including the steel strike. ii
requires more than a speech to bulge
opinions much. 1t requires three
votes, capital, labor and public, to pass
tine arbitration idea, and the poll viii
stand two to one for or against it, SO
the proposal right now is as good as a
dead duck.

Opera IN CERnAN
CAUSES N. Y. RIOT
Performance in Metropolitan Theater
Given in Defiance of Mayors Orders
Causes Big Disturbance in Which
Fighting Men and Civilians Join.

New York, Oct 20.-Despite decis-
ion by Mayor Hylan that German op-
era should not be given in New York
until the Peace Treaty was signed,
"Die Meistersinger" was presented in
German at the Lexington Theater to-
night while thousands of soldiers,
sailors and marines and civilians
fought with the police in an attempt
to reach the theater and stop the pro-
duction.
Several shots were fired as the for
mer service men time and time again
charged the police lines or laid down
a barage of bricks, stones and other
missiles in an attempt to force their
way thru
Seen after the performance started,
a crowd of three hundred service
men were driven away from the vicin-
ity of the theater, but, after reaching
Times Square, were re-enforced and,
about one thousand strong, started
back, only to be met by squad of
mounted police, which scattered them.
During the remainaer of the perform
ance, the crowd fought valiantly to
reach the theater, but failed
Just before the curtain was raised
Henry B. Herts, business manager of
the opera, rushed to the stage and an
lnounced:
"The performance will be given to-
night even if | am arrested. | want
to thresh this thing out in court"
The fighting between the police and
groups of service men lasted until
midnight, but only few persons were
injured as far as the police could
learn. Scores of windows were
smashed by stones and one marine
suffered fracture of the hip.
A block of cement was hurled from
the roof Of building opposite the the
ater. 1t struck the mudguard Of a
passing automobile and rolled to the
sidewalk, almost striking two police
inspectors. Detectives ordered to the
roof, arrested Joseph Smith, sailor
from the u s. s. Imperator.
Various posts of the American Leg
ion had adopted resolutions condemn
ing introduction Of German opera
scheduled for tonight. Today repre-
sentatiyes of the Manhattan Naval
Post waited on Mayor Hylan with q
petition that the performance be
stopt The mayor issued an order pro-
Ihibiting tie performance. but despite
this order the sale of tickets contin-
ued.
On learning that directors of the
Star Opera Company intended to give
the performance regardless of his or
der, the mayor issued a statement in
which he said that he had directed the
police not to interfere with the opera
until could obtain the advice of the
corporation counsel to the end | may

TAKE NEW LIFE FROM DEAD.
Vitality Glands Can Be Transplanted
Doctor voronod Says.

Paris, Oct 20.--Dr. Serge Vorcnoff,
who says he can postpone old age by
grating interstitial glands, points
out in an article in the Journal today
that the internal secretions glands,
such as the Thyroid and supra-resal,
continue alive three hours after death
Of the body. He advocates that bodies
Of young and healthy persons killed
in accidents should be rushed to spe-
cial hospitals where patients are suf-
fering from durable maladies. He
says the glands could be removed and
put in cold storage and kept indefi-
niteIy.
"Unfortunately,p writes Doctor
voronoff, "predjudices and law now
prevent this. Our secular customs re-
quire that our perishable bodies be
consigned to the earth, whore they
slowly and uselessly are consumed"
An experiment along the line advo-
Gated by Doctor VoronoR was made
at the California penitentiary at San
Quentin when DIR. David Kelker re-
moved vitality giving glands from the
body of murderer who had just been
hanged, and transferred them to the
body of 60-year-old convict.

CROSSES NATION
AND BACK AGAIN
Lieut.. B. w. Maynard, Flying Par
son." Travels From Coast to Coast
Twice by Air Route, and Wins
Notable Aviation Victory.

Mineola, L. l., Oct. 1S.--Lieutenant
Belvin w. Maynard, victor in the ar
my's air run across the continent and
return, the greatest aviation endur-
ance test of history, landed here at
1850 p. m.
Lieutenant Maynard's goal was dot
ted with crowds from New York, as
sembled to cheer the plucIxy, resource
ful parson. A squadron of army and
private planes were tuned up, ready
to fly out and escort him over the last
leg.
Army officials and spectators alike
appeared to regard it as a certainty
that Maynard would arrive on time.
That he might suffer another accident
that would bring him down short of
the goal apparently did not enter into
their calculations.
Lieutenant Maynard flew the 142
miles of the last stage in his great
flight from ocean to ocean and return
at speed Of nearly two miles a min
ute. Several minutes before he land
ed his plane was visible flashing
across the cloudless sky in the bril-
liant sunshine of perfect autumn
day.
Two very small girls were up bright
and early here today to watch with
their mother for little black speck
which appeared on the horizon at
about :55 this afternoon
The little black speck, they knew
would loom quickly into the outlines
of rushing airplane. And pretty
soon, Daddy" Maynard. famous now
as the flying parson,v would climb
out and give them big hug and kiss
Mrs. Maynard and the little girls
Evelyn, 5, and Rose, 4, were the first
persons to greet him as he stepped
from his machine at the conclusion OF
his historic fight.
The first words uttered by Lieuten-
ant Maynard when he put his foot on
Mother Earth again were generous
tribute to Sergeant N. E. Klein, his
companion on the fight.
Sergeant Klein deserves the great
est credit" said the lieutenant.
It's all up to the lieutenant,
promptly retorted the sergeant. He
is the greatest pilot on earth"
Beween Lieutenant Maynard ant
his wife, however, it was not ques-
tion of words. Mrs. Maynard was al
the side of the airplane almost before
| it had come to rest, and her husband
LEANED out from his seat and embraced
her silently His two little girls were
then lifted up one after the other K
kiss the triumphant father.
Lieutenant Maynard's second public
announcement following his tribute te
his companion in the great race, wal
signal proof that neither his cour
age nor nerve had been affected by ths
gruelling test to which they had beer
subjected.
He declared with smile that HI
would be off again within few days
in an attempt to make one-stol
trans-continental fight. The single
stop will be made at Dallas, Tex, ant
the Lieutenant said that he expected
to make the attempt within the com
ing week.

UNCLE IN C[,L sam READY
TO SMASH BOOZE
Federal Officials Prepare to Act When
Prohibition Law Become Effective
ID. A. Gates Will Likely BE Es-

Washington, Oct. 20-W With secret
instructions already telegraphed to
government agents thruout the coun-
try and additional and more detailed
orders to be mailed out today, Uncle
Sam is all set to deliver the final
knockout smash to booze" the min
ute the Prohibition Enforcement Law
goes into effect. Unless President

to sign the law enforcement measure

kilograms are already prepared and
ready to dispatch the minute the law
becomes effective to every state and
large city in the country, telling gov
ernment agents TO get busy and put
into effect the instructions already
sent them.
1t is understood the big effort of
the government in the first few weeks
will be drive on the saloons that are
openly defying the law in many of
the larger cities, especially New York,
and the many saloons everywhere
thruout the country selling 2.75 per
cent beer. Kansas City, st. Louis,
Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York, Bos-
ton and cities classed as being Every
wet" in the past probably will see the
most drastic effort in the govern
ment's initial campaign to make the
Nation really dry. But so comprehen-
sive are the plans the governments
long arm should be reaching out af-
ter bootleggers and law violaters in
the small towns inside of few
weeks.
There will be nothing fanatical nor
sensational in what will be done in
enforcing the law Assistant Secre-
starry Shouse said. Houses aren't to
be broken into and the law stretched
out Of its meaning by too jealous ef-
forts to make the country bone dry.
On the other hand, no bending of the
law will be tolerated. Our position
will be to stick to the letter Of the law.
It's every provision will be strictly en-
forced whether communities like it or
not"
Under the bill passed by Congress,
the internal revenue bureau of the
Treasury Department is charged with
enforcing prohibition. Both Assist
ant Secretary Shouse and Daniel Rop-
er, collector of internal revenue, have
been working day and night getting
the machinery ready, Temporarily
they viii have to use the collectors of
internal revenue and the many rev.
enue agents scattered thruout the va
rious states as enforcement officers.
Later permanent force to enforce
prohibition will be built up.
AS head of the enforcement organ
ization in Arkansas the man who will
probably be selected is David A..
Gates of Monticello. Mr. Gates at
presest holds position In the In
ternal Revenue Bureau as supervisor
Of agents and collectors in district
comprising most of the states west Of
the Mississippi river, with headquar-
ters at Little Rock. His appointment
as prohibition enforcement officer for
