Lincoln, Feb. 22.-(Special Tel

latufe has protected itself, in a
measure, against the old-fashioned
lobbyist, with his bribes of pelf,
pleasure and power, it is still sub
ject to what might be called per-
nicious influence.
1t is an influence that is clothed
with the garment Of apparent re-
spectability and it is so active, so
persistent, so combative and so
assertive that the average legisla-
tor, when he comes up against it,
is almost helpless.
This influence is created by the
horde of adherents to certain ire

They give, the impression that
they are the interpreters of the pub

hoi polloi is hungry for, and they
are the agencies that are being used

about the millennium.

gems were still at work on the de-
bris in an effort to bring out any
bodies pinned in the wreckage.
The accident occurred near Swim

which point the tracks are elevated
above the surface of the street.
According to officials of the rail-
road, the double header locomotive
was ordered to take a siding near
Lakewood so that the passenger
train would have clear road. The
engines pulled on the siding and the
officials express the opinion that one
of the locomotives evidently had
Enot pulled in far enough off the main
line.
The passenger train, travelling
about 40 miles an hour, crashed in
to the big engine, scattering wreck
age in ali direction, much of the
debris falling over the retaining wall
to Second avenue.
Three of the passenger coaches
were ripped from the train, but they

TROOPS TO
P RIO 7 &c 7
OF POLAND
Soviets Discuss Measures of
Resistance as Forces Ad-
vance on Railways to
Border Points.
Bv Associated Press.

Warsaw, Feb. 22.-The Polish
are steadily advancing along the rail-
ways, with Grodno, Slonim, Pinsk
and Lutsk as their temporary OBJ
jectives. Their aim is to establish
order and prepare the way for civil
government, with the final intent
of occupying Poiand's historic from
tiers. Thus far they have met with
no determined resistance from the
bolsheviki.
The Moscow government is very
bitter against the Poles, according
to prisoners captured. since the fail
ure of Poland to fall into the arms of
bolsheviki last December, when an
invasion of Poland was planned and
was thwarted by the arrival of Ig-
mace Jan Paderewski, the present
Polish premier.
Preparing To Resist.
An indication that the Poles may
meet with the frmest opposition la
ter is seen in a general meeting OF
the Minsk soviets of Lithuania and
those of White Russia to discuss
measures of resistance. The impor-
tance of the meeting is shown by
the presence of the members Of the
central executive committee of the
Moscow soviet, headed.by M. Svred-
loft.
The meeting proclaimed the union
of Lithuania and White Russia and
also established a Polish central
committee under the leadership OF
two Poles, Dolecki and Leszczynski.
The meeting also founded two news
papers which they have named The
Tribuna and The Sledge Hammer.
The Moscow bolsheviki are trying
to stir up antagonism to the Polish
invaders by pointing out that they
are the advance guard Of the cap
italistic allies, who prevented Poland
from following her bent" and also
by declaring that the allies hang
without mercy all bolsheviki.
The Tribuna attributes to Nikolai
Lenine, THE bolsheyiki premier, this
statement:
I'm 1919 I shall be hanged for my
noble ideals and you will be hanged
as Hooligans."
Neutral Zone in Pennsylvania.
Paris, Feb. 22.-Plans for the
restoration of peace between Rou-
mania and Hungary by the estab-
lishment Of neutral zone in Tran
sylvania were presented to the su-
preme council today
Andre Tardieu suggested that the
fighting between the Roumanians
and Hungarians probably could be
best checked in this manner. He
thought that the neutral zone should
be 10 kilometers wide, in the noun
tains separating the. two nations.
Another subject touched on by
the council was the claims of Alban-
ia for the extension of its territory
by the annexation Of portions OF
Greece and Serbia.
Morocco and the Polish situation
are on the agenda of the supreme
council for Saturday.
