Berlin, Jan. l6-Riga is now COM
pletely in the hands Of the Russian
red army Bolshevist forces have ad-
vanced from Dvinsk and occupied the
station at Neugut, thirty-one miles
from Mitau. Mitau is overfowing
with refugees. German soldiers, the
last persons leaving Riga, report that
the city is burning in several places
and that the Russians and Let's are
numbering and plundering
Berlin's long week of Bolshevism
is finally ended. Here and there. scat
tered desperadoes, mostly youths, still
fire occasionally from some housetops
and during the night attempts are
made by small bands of the followers
Of DR.. Karl Liebknecht to revive the
reign Of terror. They are insignifi-
cant, however, compared with what
has passed.
Property losses during the week OF
terror amount to tens of millions of
marks In addition to the damage to
newspaper plants and government
buildings, merchants losses through
looting are high In some streets
near the police headquarters nearly
every store was systematically looted.
Bolshevist troops holding the ST.
lesian station had so much butter that
they used it to grease their guns and
boots.
The government has no intention Of
slackening its efforts against the
Spartacans. Energetic measures are
being taken against the leaders Of
the movement. 1t is reported that
documents found by loyal troops show
that the Spartacan uprising was in
spired from Moscow.
A Gordon Of troops has been thrown
around the suburb of Moabit, one Of
the most important industrial sections
in Greater Berlin, to disarm civilians
and such Spartacan fighters as are
still at liberty.

SACRAMENTO, July 23-The
Pure Milk Distributors, one of the cor
rorations alleged to have been pro-
NOTED by Banker J. M. Henderson Jr.
in his effort to control the dairy in
dustry Of California, was yesterday
placed in the hands of a committee
of five of it's creditors at meeting
held in the office of it's attorneys,
Devlin & Devlin of this city
The liabilities of the company are
estimated at S212,047 and among its
creditors is another of the units pro-
NOTED by Henderson, the Northern
California Milk Producers Associa-
ton, whose members are wondering
how they will collect the $15, 900 the
Pure Milk Distributors owes them.
"If we had been able to get good
management the company would have
been a success" said Henderson, who
was present at the meeting. Another
explanation he advanced for the diff
ficulties, in which the Pure Milk Dis
tributors finds itself was his asser-
ton, 'the clerks and other employees
have been stealing hand over fist from
the company"
Dairymen in the neighborhood OF
Sacramento who heard these explana-
tions are wondering how it was thai
Henderson proposed to manage the en-
tire dairy manufacturing and distribu-
ton business in California and show
the dairymen how to make more mon
ey, if he was unable to secure propef
management for the unit of his pro-
motions that was most closely under
his own eye, in his own home town.
Difficulties for other of the Hender-
son associations that are assuming
or about to assume heavy mortgage
liability have been predicted but the
announcement that this distributing
company had gone into the hands of
it's creditors, when it had enjoyed Il
close relation with the Producers AS
sociation here was received with some
surprise by the dairymen.
According to reliable financial re-
ports, the Pure Milk Distributors is a
subsidiary of the Northern Califor-
MIA Milk Producers Association and
expected to enjoy the benefit of this
close relationship between producer
and distributor.
According to Manager Hanlon the
first difficulty came when the price
of milk was advanced from eleven to
thirteen cents and the consumption
dropped 80 per cent as result of the
higher price.
A suggestion made at the meeting
of creditors that the entire control of
the Pure Milk Distributors be placed

Emphazing the necessity of enter

land agent for the Southern Pacific
railroad, who has been missing from
his home since July 7th, was found
Monday one and half miles east of
