uvVEkNvRSHIP
 NOT FOR. HIM
DOES NOT WANT TO BE AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER.

BROOKVILLE, Ind, Aug. 1.--R)- That he has no desire whatever to be governor of this, his home state, was the statement made today by Chairman Hayes of the republican national committee when the matter of his possible nomination was brot to his attention by local politicians. Previous to this announcement 1t was thot that MT. Hayes would like a chance at the governorship in return for his work as a national republican committeeman but his announcement to the effect that he does not seek the ease of the gubernatorial chair but prefers to work with the rank and file of the party, has set the minds of all politicians at rest on that score.
 It was thot at first that Chairman Hayes refused to be a candidate for the reason that he feared repub- lican defeat at the polls. He states, however, that such is not the case, for he predicts a sweeping republican victory in the state of Indiana and turnout the country. In fact he ex- presses himself as~being of the opin- ion that the latter is absolutely es- sential to the country's welfare.

 ALL IS QUIET
 CHICAGO. Aug. 1.-(P)-Conditions in the districts where the race riots have been going on. at a late hour tonight, more than justify the state ment given out earlier in the day to the effect that the rioting was be- lieved to be over as there has been no trouble of any kind. Troops are still guarding the sections of the city inhabited most thickly by negroes for the purpose of keeping out white rioters who. 1t is understood, have made threats that they would yet 'get" the negroes but the precaution- ary measure seems to be altogether unnecessary.

MONTHLY REVIEW OF FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD SHOWS THAT
 PRICE OF ALL COMMODITIES IS STILL SOARING AND MAY BE
 HIGHER NO RELIEF IN SIGHT.
OFFICIALS ARE DISCUSSING
 SOME MEANS OF REDUCTION
UNDER LEADERSHIP OF PRESI- DENT WILSON HIS OFFICIAL FAMlLN BECOMES COMMITTEE ITO CONSIDER CHANGE OF RE- DUCIION.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l.-(R)-So nigh has the cost of living become that it's proportions are bordering on what can be called the formation Of d grave situation, in the opinion ot d number ui government officials and other prominent people who have been discussing the subject. As far aS can be seen there is as yet no cause for alarm, unless the prevalent labor strikes can be considered as such, but those who are familiar with the facts with regard to what IuiguL result from the present Sltua- tiUn give iC as their opinion that a continuation of the condition might mean that the country be thrown into q state but little short of bolshe- NlSn,
 And no relief is in sigh, according to the authorities best informed on the subject. ln fact the monthly review ui the federal reserve board says that high prices will probably continue for some time and intimates without stating the positive fact that they may bc higher yet before they that the general disposition of the people OI the country seems to be to accept the present price levels and other conditions as they lind them as the high price Ol all commodities has had the effect of checking the demand ill but very few districts.
 CABINET ACTING
 WASHINGTON, August l. -R- Headed by President Wilson, his cabinet is now considering ways and means of reducing the present high cost of living. It has constituted itself as q special committee of the whole to consider the matter and an nounces itself as being open to any and ali suggestions on the subject These suggestions are being com. piled and put into shape for a thorO going over and the members of the committee hope to be able to ar rye at some definite solution of the problem presented.
 One suggestion offered in the mat ter of foodstuffs is that the govern. ment sell this years wheat crop at market price and make up the gov. ernment's guarantee of $2.20 per bushel to the farmers out of a fund of one billion dollars appropriated by congress for wheat purchasing purposes before the war was over This action, it is claimed, would have the effect of keeping down the price of breadstuffs and might be the means of lowering the prices of other commodities.

LEVINE WOULD SHOW REMAND. FER OF WORLD THAT NO PARTY OR POWER IN WORLD CAN GOV ERN RUSSIA AS SHE IS TODAY EXCEPT THE BOLSHEvIKI. SAYS HE WOULD RETIRE IF HE
 COULD SEE HIS WAY CLEAR IS REPORTED AS CONSIDERING DRASTIC CHANGE IN PRESENT POLICY BUT FIGHTING IS CON- TINUING IN MEANTIME WITH HONORS ABOUT EVEN.

STOCKHOLM. Aug. 1.-R)-lt is unauthoritatively reported here that Lenine, the bolshevist dictator oi Russia, is now planning his retire ment from public life and from the dictatorship. The report is the out come of despatch received here tO the effect that Lenine is now con sidering drastic change in his policy of terrorism. which, he be lieves, will have the effect of show ing the world that no other party or power in Russia than the bOlshe wiki can govern the country.
 The report says that the only con dition that Lenine would impose or whatever government went into pow CT would be that his lieutenant Trotzky, be allowed to continue in command of the red army. It is thOt that in this manner he thinks that he would still be able to remain in power altho seeming to have re linQuished it to others.
 In his opinioni it is thot here. Len ines retirement would have the ef feet of causing a reign of even great CT terrorism than has prevailed since the bolsheviki, first gained power. if such a thing were possible. Could he keep in command of the army he could. then, thru Trotzky, resume such power as he had before, proving that he and his kind and no others could govern Russia.
 STILL FIGHTING
 LONDON, Aug. 1-(P)-It is report ed here that General Denekine's army has won a big success from the bol sheviki by capturing the city of Pol tava. This army, it is understood, is composed of volunteers who have banded themselves together to rid their country of bolshevism.
 MUTINY AMONG ALLIES
 LONDON. Aug. 1.-(P)-A mutiny among the allied soldiers fighting on the Archangel front is reported here as being the reason for an advance by the bolsheviki forces of fourteen miles. The report is supposed to be official and authentic as 1t comes from Moscow but nothing is known here regarding the possible mutiny.
