ITS SHOWING
 NEAR DENVER

DENVER, March 22.- @-The weather conditions in the eastern part of the state took a sudden turn within the last twenty-four hours. Hardly had that section recovered from the recent blizzards and storm when another storm arose. At the present time it is showing heavily and the wind is high. Huge drifts are piled on the railroads and the wet, heavy snow has caused break in the telegraphic communication to eastern points.
 The telegraph companies have been compelled to route their mes sages thru the northern and Cana dian lines, causing much delay and a curtailment of business. Only the most important matters will be sent over the wires during the day time. The evening papers are feeling this condition more than anyone else owing to the routing of their press report, which delay is considerable.

MISSOURIANS WANT REED TO
 TEST HIMSELF

JEFFERSON CITY, March 22.--(P) One of the most novel schemes for having the opinion of the people of the state of Missouri on the league of nations expressed. and at the same time to have the standing of Senator James A Reed esta blished is proposed by the democratic mem- bers of the state legislature.
 Fifty members of the legislature. all democrats, have offered to resign their office if Senator Reed will do the same. They then propose to run for office again. as they suggest that Reed should do. and at the same time that the ballots were cast on the candidates the voice of the people would be expressed by their balloting on the league of nations.
 Senator Reed has made name for himself for his attack on the propos- ed league of nations, but has caused himself a loss of following. It is very doubtful If he will accept the proposal of the legislators.

MAYOR ENTERS
 NOT GUILTY"
 PLEA WHEN UP

LOS ANGELES. March 22.-R- Mayor Frederick Woodman this morning entered a plea of not guilty when brot into court to answer to the charge of accepting bribe. The grand jury had indicted him on that charge after considering much evi dence in the grand jury room.
 Woodman, who is candidate for reelection. wants the trial to be held before the primaries are held. He ascribes the move as one inau. gurated by his enemies to discredit him politically.
 The specific charge upon which he will be tried is that of soliciting and accepting bribes from those who conducted gambling games, blind pigs and other resorts. It Is alleged that he demanded the sum of twenty. five thousand dollars as his bit for permitting these institutions to run and that he had accepted two thousand dollars as the first pay. ment.

GERMANS KICK
 AGAINST POLES
 USING SEAPORT

COPENHAGEN, March 22.-(P)-- Advices have been received here that the newspapers of Berlin are inaugu- rating vigorous campaign protest ing against the reported action of the allies in granting Poland q cor rdor to the Baltic sea thru Ger many.
 Berlin has been advised that the allies propose to see that Poland will have a sea port for the convenience of its shipping and that the port in view is Danzig, on the Baltic. Germany declares that it will oppose any landing of the Poles at the Bal tic port, and that her country must not be violated by a concession of this nature.

TO INVESTIGATE
 ATROCITIES OF
 BULCAR TROOPS

WASHINGTON, March 22.-P)- The state department made known today that 1t was the intention of the United States government to appoint a commission to make an in- vestigation of the reported atrocities of the Bulgarian troops upon the people of Serbia.
 According to the information ie- ceived by the state department the actions of the Bulgars are of an un speakable nature. The advices stat ed that it was and Is the intention of the Bulgarians to exterminate the whole of the Serbian nation. Some of the Serb villages which are in the path of the Bulgars were wiped out completely, not a soul being left alive to relate the massacre. Moth CTS with babes at their breasts were killed like dogs and cruelties were particularly practiced upon the wom. en. All of the young girls of the will lages were taken to the Bulgar camps and given over to the soldiers.
 Instances have been cited where whole villages were either killed by the bayonet or else shot down by machine gun fire. Numerous in. stances have been made known where unheard of torture was ap. piled to the unfortunate people that were met along the road. Thru those sections in which the Bulgars are operating the people are in a state of terror for they know that death Is their lot when they are dis covered.
 The truth of these reports will be closely investigated by the com mission and it is highly probable that intervention may take place.

 THE BOLSHEVIKI
 AT PETROGRAD

PARIS, March 22.--(P)-It is re- ported that the Lettish offensive In Esthonia IS meeting with success at all points. the Lett forces being triumphant in all their engagements, and they are now threatening Petro. grad. The small attachments which have been operating away from the main body are being drawn in and as soon as these are assembled the march upon the Russian city will commence.
 Trotsky views the advance with alarm and is taking serious consid. eration of the forces which up to a short time ago had never been con. sidered as being factor in the pres ent struggle. Trotsky has ordered a general mobilization of all men up to forty.six years of age to meet and repel the invading Let's.

GREAT. UNREST
 NOW NOTICED

vLADIvOSTOK. March 22.--R- Owing to the feeling of unrest in this district the allies are taking steps to protect both life and prop erty in Siberia. It is believed that a revolution Is imminent.
 The allied commanders draw their conclusions from the actions of the people and especially those of the peasant class, who have been quietly arming themselves and otherwise making preparations as tho for fight ing. A great feeling of unrest is noticeable among this class and it is thot that but very little will be re- quired to plunge this section into a state of revolutionary warfare.

VIOLENT M0BS RUIN BUDAPEST

The postoftlce and the military buildings were stormed by thousands of the unruly element and wrecked completely. The honored Honved monument was totally destroyed and many other acts of depreciation were reported.
 The actions of the mob are charg- ed to the extreme socialists who are reported as being in favor of pro- claiming soviet form of govern ment for Hungary. Thousands of agitators keep the men stirred ur and to them is attributed the work of the mob. The socialist leaders are using every endeavor to secure the loyal soldiers to their side in order that the entire city and the palaces may be given over to footing.

TANANA LOSES AN ATTRACTI0N:
 WHALE IS DEAD

Panama. the only city in all Alaska to boast of having live whale on exhibition, has come back with the rest of the commonplace towns; its whale is dead
 Ever since tho freezeup the post town has been Haunting It's chief at, traction before the whole interior Men and women have made long journeys to view the only live whale In c5c.iyitv i-. Alaska. With the de mise of a,. h.a.,nal the residents of '.- have nothing more to arouse Iiiein from their daily routine until the ice goes out and the first boat arrives.
 MT. Cor Mrs.) Whale was in very good health just few minutes be- fore its demise.
 Some of the enterprising spirits among the enlisted men at the post conceived the plan of garnering few shekels for the replenishing of the excheQuer and make their ar. rangments accordingly. Making huge harpoon that would have held dreadnaught fast even tho it were going at full speed the fishing squad accompanied by company of sharp shooters. approached the lair of the unsuspecting whale and within few minutes the battle was on. The harpooning squad succeeded in m2k. ing fast to the big fish and then the firing brigade opened up. They fired by squad, platoon and by company An extra supply of ammunition was taken along, and before the fray was over 1t was all used up. By that time the whale had given up the ghost Taking their catch from the refuge 1t had sought in making the trip to Dawson 1t was placed on Q double-ender and brot to town and placed on exhibition for the public to gaze at-fifty cents per gaze. At late reports the boys were doing quite a business, as many of the peo- pie had never seen a whale before; some of them came twice in order to have an indelible picture of the big. gest fish in the interior in their mind. The boys expect to make a little more money of their catch. for whale meat is great delicacy and the town of Panama Is rather short on delicacies.

BRITISH VIEWS
 ARE EXPRESSED

LONDON, March 22.- @ In speaking of the attitude of the do niinions of Great Britain regarding the participation of England in decid- ing the difficulties of European nations Robert Borden, one of the members of the British peace delegation, to- day stated that the dominions do not think that they should take the responsibility of participation in those difficulties unless England was concerned or directly involved.
 This statement was made in an swer to a query as to what part Great Britain would take when the time came for her to pass judgment upon the controversy between the Jugo-Slavs and Italy.
