HINES STATEMENT MISLEADING.
Declares Peek, Commenting on Price of
Rails.

Washington, d. G., May PC. Director
General Hines recent statement dis
approving the price of SAT ton for open
hearth rails quoted the railroad admin
istration by six companies, on the ground
that it was unwarranted in view OF the
profits of the companies during the last
three years, was declared to be mis-
leading" in a statement made here yes
terday by George n Peek, chairman of
the recently dissolved industrial board of
the department of commerce
Had Mr. Hines taken as his basis for
deductions the price, of $50 ton for
rails before that period, said Mr.. Peek,
instead Of the profits of the steel com.
panies during the war period of fixed
prices and stimulated production, he
must have arrived at the conclusion that
the price of SAT a ton was fully justified
To the pre-war price of $50, Mr. Peek
eontended, now he added $40 to cover in
creased labor cost and a further amount
for increased cost of transportation.
Mr.. Peek asserted that the price of
$47 ton on rails was S. lower "than
the best the railroad administration was
able to secure for itself before the in
dustrial board considered present costs
of production.

Recognize Anti-Bolshe-
vik Governments
If THEY WILL ACCEPT
VERDICT OF ASSEMBLY

Denekine Are the
Leaders

Paris, May 26.The council of four of

tionally to recognize the anti-bolshevik

sttuent assembly, likewise that the
league OF nations covenant and its con.
sequence as affecting the boundaries
of the former empire are accepted
The constituent assembly is to de-
termine the future form of government

sembly decides upon the permanent form
of government. The regional govern
ments viii then expire automatically.
The allies will not furnish Admiral
Kolchak and General Denikine with
troops, but will supply them with arms,
munitions, money and food on larger
scale than hitherto. II is stipulated
that there will be no interference with
the races of non Russian states recently
erected from old Russian territory.

CAPTURED IN RUTLAND.
Edward Patnode, Notorious Criminal,
Wanted in New Hampshire.

Rutland, May 26.- Edward J. Patnode,
noted criminal and one of the nerviest
desperadoes that has visited Rutland in
some time, was arrested yesterday morn
ing shortly after 5 o'clock by Detective
Pascal Ricci and local Police officers Mar
tin Kennedy and Patrick Conlin The
officers nd been on the lookout for this
man for some time who is wanted by
the Keene, N. H., authorities for the
shooting of Constable John Allen of Al
stead, N. H., about six weeks ago, and
they were aware of Patnode's dangerous
character.
Yesterday morning they learned that
the man they wanted was in freight
car on the Strongs avenue siding of the
Rutland railroad, and three officers went
there and found their man. One Of the
officers covering him with revolver,
while the Others handcuffed him and
brought him to the city lookup.
Patnode, who comes from around
Marlboro and Swanzey, n. H., was want
ed for robbing a man in 1918. He was
sent to the New Hampshire state pris-
on for helping prisoners escape from the
Keene jail. He served three years in
the state prison. After being released
from prison he worked around Alstead
on farm. While working for one man
he attacked him in the barn and relieved
him of SIS. Later he preyed on the cup
boards and pantries of the neighboring
houses until he drifted into Massachu-
setts. 1t is thought that he was con-
nected with big robbery there in which
he made $500 haul.
The next heard Of Patnode was that
he was in Orange county and that he
had suddenly become the owner of
horse and team which he sold Con-
ditions indicate that he was implicated
in horse stealing. In the latter part of
1918 houses in Alstead were broken into
and once more Patnode was the pest of
the summer people Of Alstead
In 1918 Patnod enlisted in the army
with Co. G from Keene Later he de-
serted from the army and began his
travels again. The latter part Of last
March he was seen in Alstead and the
local constable, upon being notified that
Patnode was in the place, set out with
Others to capture the man. The officer,
with his son and another assistant, en-
countered Patnode on the highway and
Patnode carried % claibre automatic
Winchester rife, with which he shot
Constable Allen just below one knee
Patnode used the rifle as a club and
cnbbed Allen over the head, cutting two
gashes. After breaking away from the
officer he made his getaway and left
for Alstead. From that time on Pat
node has been plying ire freights between
that city and Rutland and conditions in
dicate that he may be implicated in sew
eral small robberies.
Two officers from Keene arrived last
night and took Patnode back on the flyer
this morning.

INTIMATE VIEW OF WAR
Was Given by DR.. Harold Cutler and
Lieut.. Neale Hooker.

An audience of between 300 and 400
filled the Hedding M. f. church last
evening to hear the personal experiences
of DR.. Harold Cutler of the dental corps
and lst Lieutenant Neale Hooker of the
l02d regiment, both of whom spent many
months overseas. Their talks were very
much enjoyed
DIR. Cutler spoke intimately of the
progress of his division from the British
front to Flanders and then to its loca-
tion in the neighborhood of Toul, France.
Although he had very little to say re-
garding the officers, he gave great praise
to the doughboys for their strict obedi-
ence to orders and their fine spirit
through the fighting. DIR. Cutler
gave a description Of the terri.
tory through which his division passed,
the difficulties which they had to over
come and the impossible mud in the
Argonne sector. Especially did he en-
phasize the honor due the fathers and
mothers for the sacrifice in letting the
young men go from their homes and the
patriotic spirit that upheld them during
the months of suspense and worry. The
boys, too, learned as never before what
home was and also the true character
of war. Both have new meaning TO
them now and never did home look so
good as when they reached it again after
serving their country on the shell-torn
fields of France.
First Lieut.. Hooker told of the actual
experience of his regiment on the field
of Seicheprey, how the Germans thought
to teach the Americans few things,
how the battle seemed to be almost a
duel, with neither side making much
headway, but in which finally the Ger
mans suffered greatly. He described the
terrific bombardment and asserted that
the battle was lesson in real warfare,
which all needed. He referred to the
difference between the French method of
fighting and the American. Where the
French are cautious the Americans are
aggressive. He then told of the trans
fer of the regiment to Chateau Thierry
and of their presence at the battle of
Bouresches Lieut.. Hooker asked the
consideration of all the helpers, the
streteher bearers and others, who, al
though not in the actual fighting ranks,
nevertheless were in the greatest danger,
performed almost unbelievable feats and
thought never of themselves but OF the
cause itself and of others Great credit
is due them. He also referred, as had
DR.. Cutler. TO the folks at home, the
ones who made tremendous sacrifice in
letting their sons go out to battle an
enemy known for his cruelty and savag-
cry.
The music for the evening was in
keeping with the day and the whole sery-
ice was most appropriate to the time
when the whole country is thinking more
than usual on the things pertaining to
the nation and the personnel of those
who have made it free in years gone by.

SENATE DEBATES TREATY
On Johnson's Resolution Calling for En-
tire Text of the Document.

Washington, D. c., May 26.-Issues of
the peace treaty fight came before the
Senate again to-day, with the prospect
that the debate which began on Friday
might occupy the entire days session.
The immediate subject of the discus
sion was resolution by Senator John
son, Republican, of California, asking
the state department for the complete
text of the peace treaty. From the start
of the debate Friday, however, the ar
gllments on both sides branched out to
embrace many related subjects, includ-.
ing the merits of the treaty and the
covenant Of the league of nations. Oppo-
nents of the league generally lined up
in favor of the resolution.
Senator Johnson's resolution came be-
fore the Senate automatically, having
been made the unfinished business when
the Senate adjourned Friday, Senator
Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, an oppo-
nent of the league in its present form,
and Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Ar
kansas, league supporter, had given
previous notices OF their intention to
speak and were prepared to take the
floor as soon as the Senate convened.
