Providing Allied Troops Are

Especial United Press Wire.)
Paris, April 3.-The Russian So
Wet government is not asking recog-
milton by the associated powers, it is
learned from authoritative sources.
The proposition Lenine recently sub
mitted to the peace conference is
substantially, make peace with us
enabling us to end the numerous lit
tie wars that are being Waged on
Russian territory, lift the blockade
SO as to permit us to get food and
materials. Then we will make good
and you can recognize us-if you
care to- 1t is understood the Rus
SLAMS are willing to make a separ-
ate peace with the associated powers
without including the Hungarian So
Wet government in the pact. By
making peace with the Russian is
naturally meant the withdrawal of
the allied forces from Russia. In
view of the reports that the serious
food conditions will spread typhus
from Russia, coupled with the dam
ger of RussO-German alliance the
peace conference is said to be con-
sidering whether the associated pow
ers can afford to ignore the present
opportunity to effect an immediate
agreement with the Lenine govern
ment.

Berlin, April 3.-More than 150,-
900 workers struck late today. The
metal workers, technicians and
other skilled craftsmen We're the first
to walk out. Several other unions
followed While the strike had been
anticipated, the walkout caught the
government unprepared. There is no
violence, however, and the city is
quiet tonight. Reports indicate that
disturbances have been renewed in
Stuttgart and Frankfort with great
er vigor than before, with more than
20 killed and so wounded. In Stutt-
CART business is completely at a
standstill, crowds are sWarmng the
streets and storming the army food
wagons. The government troops are
maintaining the upper hand by
means of machine guns. Battery
tanks are assisting in patrolling the
streets. Hundreds have been ar
rested in Frankfort. The loss from
plundering is estimated at more than
$1,000,000.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Bella
Kun arrived at Munich for the pur-
pose of forming an alliance between
Hungarian, Austrian and Bavarian
soviets, the Deutsche Ieitung de-
clared. The report could not be YER
flied. The general strike is growing
throughout Germany. More than
100000 men are out in the Ruhr in
dustrial district. Half of the Rhine
land miners are not working.

GERMAN INDEMNITY
STILL KNOTTY PROBLEM
Especial United Press Wire. y


Paris, April 3.-Efforts are being
made to insert a formula in the peace
treaty for exacting reparation from
Germany without naming the specific
amount This formula would clearly
establish the principles on which Ger
many must pay, leaving to a special
allied commission the task of determ
lining how much. British, French
and Italians are understood to be
favorably inclined toward such dis
position of the knotty problem
Americans are said to be occupying a
neutral position in the discussions,
their endeavors being directed mere
ly at aiding in framing the proposed
formula. 1t is regarded significant
that as the provision for the financial
commission now stands it is under
stood to specify 'allied commits
sions," which would eliminate the
United States from acting as collec-
tor. .

| 1t is probable that the hearing will
| extend over several days yet, as
Coroner Holland and the attorneys
for the Bulletin are making every
effort to elicit all the facts bearing
on the untimely and miserable death
of the late unfortunate Mrs. Ed Nor
rissey.
At the hearing yesterday afternoon
one of the most remarkable and
peculiar features was the apparent
loss of memory of Mrs. or Miss
Nellus, or Mellus, who could not re-
call any recent events or conversa-
tions.
Miss Nellus' testimony disclosed
that prior to the death of Mrs. Nor
rissey she was what might be termed
a very distant" neighbor of the
Morrisseys, never having visited
them, but that since she was called
in by Mrs. Juchem, Mrs. Morrissey's
sister, Tuesday afternoon, while Ed
was lying on the sofa suffering from
cold" The witness could not re-
call anything that was said during
the Is minutes she alleged she was
there, except that on entering she
informed them that she could not
stay long, and after this declaration
it took her ID minutes to leave.
That Miss Nellus has suddenly be-
come Il most welcome and frequent
visitor at the Morrissey home since
the death of Mrs. Morrissey, was
evidenced by her testimony that she
took dinner there Monday on the
invitation of Mr.. Ed Morrissey, chief
of detectives of Butte. Peculiar as
it may seem, Miss Nellus could not
remember any conversation which
took place at the dinner, except that
they talked about the "eats"
County Attorney Jackson elected
the information from the witness that
she had not been served with any
whiskey, wine, brandy or beer at the
dinner, and that was the extent of
the county attorneys efforts.
Miss Nellus testified that she
drank coffee at the dinner at the
Morrissey home, and it is possible
that the coffee was strong enough to
temporarily blot out memory of that
and prior events. However that may
be, it is probable that Miss NelluS
will be recalled to. the stand, after
any possible effects of the coffee have
disappeared, and her memory re-
freshed as to prior events by the
testimony of other witnesses.
Miss Coughlin was also at the din
ner, as was Mrs. Juchem, sister of
Mrs. Morrissey, and Dan Comba and
young Comba, Miss Nellus said.
Miss Sullivan Testifies.
81 had know Kate Roman, as we
had always called her, for 20 years,
had known her intimately, was her
friend, her pupil in music and close
associate, and she had always borne
good reputation" said Miss Anna
Sullivan, school teacher, who lives
at 1915 Jefferson street, while on
the witness stand.
with other ladies I was return
ing last Saturday afternoon from a
lecture held at the high school. On
our way home one of the ladies in
quired: Did you know that Kate
Roman is dead?' That was the first
intimation l had that she had died."
continued Miss Sullivan.
I'VE went to the undertaker's and
waited until the body was fully
dressed, and when we went in to
view the remains | was considerably
disturbed to see how she appeared.

TIME IN ROOSEVELT
MEMORIAL FUND DRIVE

The Roosevelt Memorial Fund Com
mittee on Saturday of last week de-
cided to extend the period during
which subscriptions will be received
so as to allow township chairmen time
to get literature into the pubic
schools in their districts.
Owing to the suddenness in which
the matter was thrust upon the pub
lie in this county the committee were
late in getting the organization in
working shape. Not until the middle
Of this week was it possible to get
necessary blanks, ETC., into the outly-
ing school districts. The committee
were therefore of the opinion that a
weeks extension of time would permit
Of less confusion. 1t was stated We'd
nesday that more than this might be
needed in the schools, although in Me-
dina village a flag raising was held
on Tuesday of this week.
Concerning the final outcome of the
campaign the committee are agreed
that the quota of $1965 will be easily
raised. The chairman of Wadsworth
teelphoned in early in the week that
they would have no difficulty in rails
ing $400. Medina village will do like
wise. Other reports have been re-
ceived, the amounts running we'll
over hundred dollars in many cases.
No personal solicitation is being
employed in the campaign, but all
who wish to subscribe anything from
a ten-cent piece up, are urged to do
so promptly.

RU = DEAL DEAD;
DPOSAL NOT ENTICING

T. who came to Medina with
a proposition to establish rubber
plant here are saying little anent the
proposition and it looks as if the
scheme was dead. The proposition as
made required much of Medina citi-
zens. At the time little was said in
The Sentinel except in a news way.
1t was the wish of The Sentinel man
agcment to help and not hinder any
proposition that promised we'll for
Medina. ..
But now that the proposition has
fallen through it We're wise, per-
haps to review the demands of the
men considering the erection of rub
ber plant here. Too much was asked
to lead Medina citizens to greatly en-
thuse, and the wants of the promoters
were too large to lead officers and
members of the Medina Board of
Trade to set up a popular cry for it.
To ask Medina to give a 25-acre
site, assure ample water for the pro-
ject, subscribe $500,000 for preferred
stock and receive $250,000 common
stock and give free $250,0OO common
stock to the promoters, without their
subscription of any preferred, was not
very enticing as business PROPOSE
tion. To ask Medina to take all, or
nearly all of the financial response
bility, and to participate but $3.50 in
the direction, with the site and water
provision as a bonus, didn't prove a
drawing card.
1t is well for Medina citizens to
look all business propositions square
ly in the face; then if the deck is to
be cut too far below the center it is
best to back down and out before the
deal is made.

MANY CASES AHEAD OF

in connection with the prosecution Of

were arrested near Wadsworth this
summer and charged with the illicit
distillation of intoxicating liquors.

consider the cases convened on Mon
day.
Federal authorities stated that they
had nearly hundred cases of alleged
moonshining to consider and that the
jury would be called upon to consider
the cases of men now in Jail first.
The fact that all of the men caught
in Medina county are out on bail will
throw their trials from four to eight
weeks later in the term.

FIRE DEPARTMENT OUT
TWICE IN PAST WEEK

The Medina fire department was
called out twice during the past week,
the first call being last Friday night
when both chemical and engine re-
sponded to an alarm sent in from the
Ed. Burnham residence on West Lib
cry street, just at the edge Of town.
The Burnham family kept barrel of
gasoline in a small outbuilding just
at the rear of the house, and within
a few feet of their garage. One of
the family was drawing some of the
combustible liquid with a match for a
light and it became ignited. In the
f1are-up which followed it was impos-
sible to check the flow of the gaso-
line from the barrel. A quick re-
sponse by the department confined
the flames to the small shed which
was destroyed.
From distance the fire looked as
if is might be in the Root Co.'s lum-
beryard which no doubt accounts for
the unusually large crowd which soon
arrived on the scene, automobiles and
carriages blocking the street for a
distance Of several blocks.
The second alarm came on Sunday
afternoon about 4 o'clock. This time
the call was from the VIM. Alexan-
der property on N. Broadway. George
Frost had been repairing an automo-
bile in a barn in the rear of the
house and in some way the machine
caught fire. Neighbors assisted in
pushing the car out of the barn and
extinguished the flame with salt, flour
and various other mixtures, so that
by the time the fremen arrived there
was nothing for them to do. The
damage done was very slight.
