ASTOR DIES
OF HEART DISEASE

William Waldorf Astor, who was
born in New York in 184S, died sud-
denly in London last Saturday. He
was he son of one of the John Jacob
Astors and was worth many millions.
He left America in 1870 and re-
nounced his American citizenship to
become British subject. He was
first made a baron and later Wis
count. Twenty per cent of his mil
lions will 90 to the British govern
ment under a law of that country.
This will cause some complication as
much of his biggest income bearing
real estate is located in New York.

CONGRESS MAY
ADJOURN NOV. 20

Representative Mondcll Of Wyom-
ing, the House Republican Leader
Saturday discussed with Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the majori-
ty leader in the Senate, the possibili-
ty of adjournment of Congress on or
about November 10. Senator Lodge
stated that he did not believe the
Senate could finish the treaty and
complete its other urgent business by
that time. AS a reult of the confer
ence, House leaders are now talking
of November 20 as the end Of the
present session of Congress.
Mr. Lodge, however, is said to be
opposed at this time to any plan for
adjournment. He stated that the
treaty must first be disposed Of, and
after that it will be time enough to
talk about adjournment.
Mr.. Mondell's suggestion of ad-
journment November 10 would seem
to indicate that Congressional leaders
have given up hope of acting at the
present session on the many other
important pending questions. Among
the most importatn matters calling
for legislation are the railroads, the
marine policy, and the army and navy
reorganization. These and many other
urgent matters will have to be put
off if Congress adjourns in the near
future.

trades, meeting here recently to de-
velop uniform methods of procedure
in disposing of surplus stocks of
building material, found. the War In
dustries Board announced today, that,
with the exception of lumber, govern

Not affect market conditions.
1t was emphasized, the board said,
that government agencies would not
dispose of surplus material in such
way as to disturb the market, and
that a large part of this was being
absorbed by distribution among gov
eminent departments.
The manufacturers and producers
of building materials at the confer

ed, were much surprised at the small
stock of surplus material in the pos
session of the government. and were
pleased and thoroughly satisfied with

GIANT METEOR LIGHTS UP
ALL WESTERN MARYLAND
Brilliant Illumination Followed by
Explosion Which Shook Sig
nal Towers on Railroads.

BALTIMORE, Md. January 13.-All
of Western Maryland from Baltimore
city to the Blue Ridge mountains was
brilliantly illuminated shortly after
6 o'clock last evening by a giant me-
teor, the flash terminating in an ex-
plosion which startled residents of
Hagerstown. Frederick city, West
minister and other towns and shook
the signal towers on the railroads
near those towns. The meteor ap-
parently descended to within hun
dred miles of the earth's surface. &C
cording to some scientific observers
and then exploded.
DR.. Robert Woods of Johns Hopkins
University, said the meteors appear
ance was not unreasonable, although
such phenomena are more prevalent
in the late autumn. Some observers
in the western section of the state
thought an airplane motor had ex-
pIoded and looked for falling wreck
age.
Instead of causing a shower of frag-
ments. the defamation seemingly
marked the entire destruction of the
body. This fact classified the meteor
to scientists as of the bolide variety
which destroys itself instead of caus-
ing a shower of brilliant debris.

BRITISH PROPOSAL
ON RUSS SENT HERE
Message to Be Forwarded

U. S. ATTITUDE IN DOUBT

Great Britain's proposal that the
allies and the United States enter into
negotiations with all Russian fac
tons, referred to at Paris by Foreign
Minister Pichon, with an emphatic
statement that France would not deal
in any way with 'the criminal regime
of the bolsheviki," was transmitted
to the State Department here January
by the British embassy. 1t will be
forwarded at once to the American
peace delegation at Paris
Secretary Folks Statement.
Acting Secretary Polk of the State
Department has issued the following
statement on the subject:
On January 3 the State DEPART
ment received from the British charge
a memorandum proposing that the
allies and the United States call on
all the factions in Russia to suspend
hostilities pending the peace negotia
tlons, and that If the aforesaid gov
ernments and parties will Immediately
suspend hostilities on all fronts for
the duration of the peace negotiations
even II they or any of them should
desire to send representatives to Paris
TO discuss with the great powers con-
ditions Of a permanent settlement
the great powers would be prepared to
enter on such a discussion with them

the fact that the Russian question

attention there. 1t would seem
however, from the reports in the
newspapers, that no such proposal was
presented to the American peace mis-
sion in Paris.

''The question was asked me, as ]
understood it. by newspaper man
yesterday afternoon as to whether
a proposal had been made to have
delegates from the bolsheviks attend
the peace conference, and reference
was made to Mr.. Pichon's statement
Not having seen Mr.. Pichon's state
ment, / did not connect the question
with the proposal referred to in the
memorandum from the British charge
which had been received by the de-
partment, and I, therefore, replied
that no such proposal had been re-
ceived. I wish to assume full re-
sponsibility for the misunderstand-
ing
No one in Washington is prepared
to state what may be the attitude OF
President Wilson and the American
delegation toward the British sug-
gestion. It is recalled. however, that
the United States virtually has de-
clared the bolsheviki outlaws by call
ing upon the civilized world to join
in condemning their reign Of terror

Bolshevik Plot Unearthed.

MONTEvIDEO, Uruguay, January
12 (by the Associated Press).-The
police have uncovered a plot on the
part of Russians to instigate a boil
shevik movement here and in Buenos
Aires Four of the leaders in the
movement are said to have confessed
their participation in a plan to over
throw the Uruguayan and Argentine
governments and institute soviets in
both countries. The police, by quick
work, prevented an outbreak here
which had been arranged to occur
simultaneously with that in Buenos
Aires.
BUENOS AIRES, January 13.-Re-
ports from Montevideo say that the
authorities there are strengthening
their forces against the bolshevist
movement. Troops have been thrown
around Villa de Cerro. localizing
strike disorders to that district, where
there are American packing houses.
Censored reports from the interior
indicate that the maximalist move
ment is spreading to the principal
cities. notably Rosario, where gem
eral strike was called Sunday morn
ing. 1t was decided in that city not
to defend the police substations, and
all archives and officers were con-
centrated at the central headauar-
ters. 1t is reported that several street
speakers have been arrested at Ro-
sario and held in solitary confine-
ment.
