SENATE COMMITTEE
PASSES THE BUCK
HAS POWER TIC
CREATE SPECIAL RAILWAY
BOARD

Washington. d. c., Aug. S.-The
senate interstate commerce commit
tee by unanimous vote directed Chair
man Cummins to reply to President
Wilson's suggestion for legislation to
create a special railroad wage board.
Senator Cummins' letter will be
made public later in the day, but * is
understood he will advise the pres
ident that he has full authority with
out further legislation.
The senate committee also decided,
without discussion, to take no action
on other suggestions in the wage sit
uation, and will not attempt an iu-
quiry into the relation of railroad
employees wages to living costs.
The committee is understood Ia
take the position that there was moth
ing in the presidents letter to Chair
man Cummins which required action
by congress. The committee, 1t was
said, including all democrats as well
as republicans, also takes the view
that while the railroads are under
government control the president
and director general have ample
power to adjust both wages of em-
ployes and rates, and that special
legislative wage board is neither nee
essary nor desirable. Chairman
Cummins' letter, it was said, will
state plainly the present responsible
ity of dealing with the railroad ein-
ployes' demands is on the president
and director general and not on con
gress.

LIMBS SELF ACTING
"Kinematic Surgery Developed
to Extraordinary Degree.
italian Physician Achieves Remarkable
Results In Fitting Artificial
Leus.

Bologna, Italy.-Remarkable results
have been achieved In Italian military
hospitals recently by the use of what
is known as 'kinematic surgery" the
invention of Professor Putt of Bologna
university. Professor Putti's methods
have aroused intense interest on the
part of American doctors attached to
lean Red Cross who are supervising
the artificial leg factories already es-
tablished and being established In
Athens. Saloniki, Belgrade and Bucha-
rest for the wars mutilated.
AT present allied soldiers In the
Balkans who have lost their limbs
are being fitted with artificial limbs
and arms of a type similar to that
employed by Sarah Bernhardt. Pro-
fessor Putti's methods, however, are
distinct advance over all other arti-
ficial appliances.
His treatment of amputated limbs
consists of unique preparation Of
the stump to develop motor" end
to the cords which, after being bound
together over a smooth bearing" of
bone, get as much as three-inch
travel of the leg by means of re-
education and coordination of the mus
cles of the stump.
After the stump heals Professor
Putt cuts out a flap of flesh, which
he folds back into an inclsion to take
the flap. This is allowed to heal and
then through the loose flap of flesh
a metal bar with attachments to op-
crate the artificial limb below Is
suspended.
The muscles of the calf and thigh
readily respond after some weeks to
the movement of the artificial leg, and
soon the pressure of the swinging Of
the artificial leg re-educates the mus
cles through the flap of flesh, so that
Il may be said the muscles of the
stump actually operate by themselves
the mechanical features of the arti-
fetal limb.
In the case Of a severed hand the
muscle groups surrounding the bone
are trained TO operate catgut cords
which. In turn. operate artificial fin-
gers.
Not since the Introduction of de
bridgement" In American army medical
work In France has any medical innO-
vation created as much comment.

HARD ROADS FOR
IOWA IN 1878
is The SLOGAN
Randall K. Brown, C. Of c.,
Tells Of Road Building
Plans to Be introduced
in Iowa Legislature.

One OF the most extensive pro-
grams OF hard roads building that
will give Iowa the best roads of any
state, is being planned for presenta-
ton to the Iowa legislature this
winter, according to Randall K.
Brown OF the Omaha Chamber of
Commerce, who was in Des MONIES
yesterday.
Mr.. Brown had an extended con-
versation with Governor Harding
the subject of good roads, ad in
speaking of the plans in Iowa, Mr..
Brown said: Governor Harding
told me that he used to be an ad-
vocate of improved dirt roads, but
had abandoned that idea in favor
of the hard road, or rather the
paved center road. and Iowa expects
to lead all states in that respect this
year by the expenditure of an
enormous sum of money. The great
er Iowa association, composed of
men in each county, is working in
conjunction with the Greater Des
Moines association and the farmers
of Iowa almost to a man are boost
ing the good roads movement. The
plan is for several trunk lines cross
ing the state, with connecting and
branch lines to the principal cen
tiers. In this connection they expect
to double the automobile tax in that
state"
Mr.. Brown, Rufus Harris and w.
d. Hosford went to Des MONIES to
interest the various Iowa associa-
tons in the Trans Mississippi con-
gress to be held in Omaha in Feb
ruary. These associations were all
enthusiastic and intend to cooper
ate to make the congress a success.

Trotzky DcIares Russian Anar-
chists Must Fight to
Last Soldier.
PROMINENT MEN SHOT
Red Leader Assumes Exalted Military
Attitude, Assembling About Him
Commissaries and Treating
Them as MarshaIs.

Warsaw, Feb 26.-"We must fight
the treacherous Poles to the last SOL
dier." This is the dictum of Leon
Trotzky, Russian Bolshevik minister
of war; sent from the Perm front to
the Smolensk-Minsk headquarters,
whence the troops have been ordered
to advance on Baranovichi. Thotzky
is anxious to give the Poles what he
terms lesson" as he especially
hates Paderewski.
1t is just revealed that prior to
Paderewski's becoming premier, the
members of the Polish legation in Mos
cow were arrested and some shot.
When the Warsaw government protest
ed, the Moscow government replied:
1--WE are surprised. We thought we
were doing you favor by locking up
your bourgeois representatives"
Trotzky has assumed an exalted
military attitude, assembling about
him commissaries whom he treats as
marshals. He holds frequent reviews,
sometimes riding on horseback wear
ing high sheepskin cap and calling
w,
little soldiers"
Whereupon they reply: Good NOR
row, comrade."
"Comrade" Steals Overcoat.
These close relations, however, did
not prevent one of his comrades from
stealing Trotzky's sable overcoat re-
Gently during halt, when the war
minister was enjoying his usual sump-
tuous meal.
Trotzky, who has of late assumed
more power than ever, had a fierce
quarrel with Nikolai Lenine, Bolshe-
vik premier, regarding the proposed
Princess Islands conference. He
strongly opposed this conference, but
Lenine prevailed. Lenine desires to
preserve Bolshevism at any cost, and
also to keep in as far as possible with
the Allies, in the belief that Bolshe-
vism will sweep the world.
Sverdloff Of the Central executive
committee of the council of workmen's
and soldiers delegates has been play
ing mediator between Trotzky and
Lenine and has been engaged at VII
ma, Minsk and other points in urging
the Bolshevik officers to cease their
crimes and keep a semblance of order,
as reports of murder and pillage are
reaching the. "capitalistic press"
Meanwhile Trotzky Is continuing to
build up an army, which is now esti-
mated at 100000 men. He is supposed
to have ammunition for six months.
