CARL ACKERMAN
ARRIVES IN CITY
FROM SIBERIA

Carl w. Alderman, special cores
pendent for the New York Times in
Siberia, was in Richmond today. He
will 60 to New York tonight to con-
fer with the Times as to his next dut-
les. When he was sent to Siberia by
the Times 1t was arranged that he was
to return and cover the peace confer
ence in Europe. In November a tele-
gram was sent to him ordering him to
go to the peace conference, but he did
not receive this until the first of jan
uary. He then came to this country
to receive instructions from his news
paper.
When asked about the situation in
Russia Mr.. Alderman said that the
only solution of the problem is pol
be carried out.
1.-THE allies have not agreed on pol
icy in Russia and until they do they
will do no good. They must decide on
a definite policy and carry it out"
Alderman said the All-Russian con-
ference was the best thing the allies
could do.
AS to Japanese interference Mr..
Alderman said it was subject he
had thought a great deal about but
as yet could say nothing or write
nothing about 1t, under instructions
from the war department.
in Russia the feeling is very strong
against the Allies" he said. "All AL
lied soldiers want to get out of Rus
sia. War is over and they want to
quit"
Mr.. Alderman said in Eastern ST.
IBERIA the conditions we're terrible.
Towns are crowded, it is difficult to
get clothing or shelter and the food
is very poor. In central Siberia. food
is abundant but it is hard to get
clothing.
1.-THE Bolsheviki are stronger today
than they ever were," Alderman said.
1T is too late to conquer them. All
the decent factions in Russia will not
agree. They hate each other as much
as they hate the Bolsheviki. The Boil
sheviki must be moderated. Common
sense must be pounded into. them"
Mrs. Alderman is in Richmond with
Mr. Alderman. While he was in ST.
IBERIA she spent most of her time in
Japan.

CHANGE IN TAX
BILL PROPOSED
fnx Associated Press,

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 10.-Another
objection which has been made to the
proposed new tax law likely will be
removed when the measure Is halted
on second reading in the house. It was
said today. It will be introduced by
Flood Leader Mendenhall Of the house
majority, and will provide for the
classification Of forms for the listing
OF chattels by the state tax board
SO that each form would apply to a
certain line Of business. rather than
have one form which would attempt
to covor all lines OF industry. The
amendment would give the state
broad authority to modify the forms
as 1t sees At. There has been much
objection to the present form espe-
cially by farmers who feel that there
is injustice in requiring them to list
all chattels. while they say the merch-
ants and manufacturers are not re-
Quired to do SO.
The ways and means committee is
expected to present q divided report
to the house on the bills providing for
the removal of the Indiana reforma-
tory from Jacksonville and for the
location of the proposed colony for
feeble minded persons in the southern
part. of the state. Members from the
southern part of the state will ask
that the legislature provide the re-
formatory be erected on the present
site instead of in the central part
Of Indiana on a site no less than
1000 acres, as the bill requires. There
is opposition among certain members
to providing that the farm colony for
the feeble minded be located in south
ern Indiana, as they prefer more
central location.

welt as q statesman and as q man.
Crowded galleries and the throng OF
men and women who could not gain
admission testified to the personal
feeling for the man whose death
shocked the world. It was this to
which Senator Lodge, q close friend
of tho man he eulogixed, referred
when he spoke these words In the
stiffness of the House Chamber:
"A tower Is fallen. star II set!
Alas! Alas! for Celin.
THE words of 1amentation from the
old Moorish ballad, which In boyhood
we used to recite. must, think. have
risen to many lips when the world
was told that Theodore Roosevelt was
dead. But whatever the phrase, the
All Conscious Of Loss.
"Variously expressed, you heard It

from the man in the street and the
man on the railroads, from the farmer
in the fields, the women in the shops.
in the factories and In the homes.
The pulpit found in his life q text
for sermons. The Judge on the bench,
the child at school, alike paused for
a moment, conscious OF loss.
THE cry of sorrow came from men
and women of all conditions, high and
low, rich and poor. from the learned
and the ignorant, from the multitude
who had loved and followed him. and
from those who aid opposed and re-
sisted him. The newspapers pushed
aside the absorbing reports Of the
events OF these fateful days and gave
pages to the man who had died.
FLASHED beneath the ocean and
through the air went the announce
ment of Theodore Roosevelt's death,
and back came a worldwide response
from courts and cabinets, from press
and people, in other and far-distant
lands. Through it all ran golden
thread of personal feeling which
CLEANS SO rarely in the somber for
malism Of public grief.
1T would seem that here was a
man, a private citizen, conspicuous by
no office, with no glitter of power
about him, no ability to reward or
punish. gone from earthly life, who
must have been unusual even among
the leaders of men, and who thus de-
mands our serious consideration"

STATUS OF EX-PREMIER
IS VARIOUslY REPORTED
Joseph Caillaux Said by Some
Journals to Be Near
"Veiled Discharge

PARIS, September 8 (Havas). -vari.
Gus reports were in circulation today
regarding the case Of Joseph Caillaux,
the former premier, who has been un-
der arrest for more than a year on
charges of having had reasonable
dealings with the enemy. Several Of
the newspapers report that the COM
mission of inquiry of the high court,
which has had the case under long in
vesti cation. has decided to issue a
decree sending the ex-premier before
the court, as was recommended not
long ago in report by the attorney
general
Some of the journals add to this the
report that the charge of treason
against NJ. CaillauX is to be quashed,
leaving the only political charge still
against him the allegation of a crime
against the interior safety of the
state. Certain of the newspapers go so
far as to claim that this would be
equivalent to a yelled discharge, as
the accusation would be covered by
the amnesty act, thus rendering plead
ing useless.

Cotton raisers are losing $4,000, 900

declares in q statement. Enough

are greater.
Southern farmers are urged by the
department to store their cotton and
stop this waste. Attention is called

ed under the federal warehouse law,
which, the department says, furnish
best receipts-good for cash at any
bank-cheaper insurance and better
