GRAIN FOR EUROPE
WILL BE RUSHED
Private Facilities of Wheat to
Handlers to Be Adjusted
to Meet Needs

NEW YORK, April 9.-To increase
the export grain handling facilities OF
the port of New York so that the grain
corporation can send a total of 1.6OO.-
600 tons of grain and cereal products
to Europe in the next so days, oat
handlers of this city at a meeting to-
day agreed to adjust their private IA
cilities :. to-. facilitate the creates.
grain movement possible.
President Barnes of the grain cor
poration, who called the meeting. ex-
planned that the vital needs of various
European countries for foodstuffs, in
vestigation by the supreme economic
council, made the shipment necessary
to the maintenance of life and order
in Europe. He asked the grain trade
to cooperate by reducing the amount
of storage space now used in export
elevators to one-half the present guam
tity. The estimated monthly maximum
handling capacity of all Atlantic and
Gulf ports made a year ago, he said,
was 100000 tons.
Despite all the disorganization pre-
vailing in Europe, Mr.. Barnes said re-
ports from Herbert Hoover showed
that a steady flow of food is being
maintained into Rumania and Armenia
through the Dardanlles and Constan-
tinople into Serbia through Greece and
the Adriatic, into the new republic of
Czecho- o-Slovakia, both by train across
Austria and by barge through Ger
many up the Elbe from Hamburg, and
into Poland, and into Poland by train
across Germany from Danziog; while
Finland and the new Baltic states are
being supplied by direct shipment
across the Baltic sea.
Oils and greases are also being sent
for the disorganized railways, he add
ed, and slowly the broken bones of
commercial intercourse are being knit

PARIS, April 9.-The council of four
met this morning. The question of re-
sponsibility for the war and the dis
position of the Saar valley again were
under consideration by Premiers
Lloyd George. Clemenceau and Or
lando and President Wilson
The responsibility of the German
emperor for the war and the means
for bringing him to trial by one of the
allied governments, probably Belgium.
hmave been definitely determined
upon by the council of four This.
with the definite decision on the terms
OF reparation for war damages. where
by $5.000.000,000 must be paid within
the netx two years, and an inter-allied
commission assess the remaining dam
age for a period of thirty years, be-
ginning May /. 1921
TWO Obstacles Removed
Thus, two of the great obstacles
which stood in the path of the rapid
attainment of peace have been re-
moved within the last twenty-four
hours, and the period of extreme ten
sion over the inaction and the failure
TO secure tangible results is succeeded
by revived confidence over the great
advance made towards a permanent
settlement
How far these results are due to the
intimations conveyed by the summon
ing to France of the United States
transport George Washington by Pres
ident Wilson is only coniectural. But
it is at least conincidence that the
main difficulties BEGAN to dissolve
from the time that this decision be-
came known.
The exact nature of these difficult
ties IS not disclosed. Friends of the
president maintain that they were
largely of c minor character, now in
yolving large principles, though the
presidents adherence TO his fourteen
teen points as the rigid limitation of
the scope cf action appears to have
run all through the deliberations dur
ing the tense period of the last few
days.

Man Wanted Here on Two
Charges Arrested at Lynn,
Massachusetts,

After fleeing from justice in Lowell,
escaping to Ell Paso where he was ar
rested on his arrival, fighting habeas

fleeing east only to be arrested again

on charges of grand larceny, and
passing worthless checks, is being
held by the police of Lynn pending the
arrival of officers from Cochise coun-
ty, who will bring him back to Lowell
where he will have to answer to the
above charges and also explain as to
the absence of his wife, who disappe ear
ed over a year ago and has not been
heard of since.
Judge ]. L. Winters of Lowell said
yesterday that extradition papers have
already arrived in Lynn and he expect
ed that an officer will be sent to bring
Artunoff back to his court some time
this week
The case of Artunoff has caused no
little comment in the Warren district
He was arrested during the last week
in February on complaint of a youth
who accused him of stealing his
clothes. Artunoff claimed he was
holding the clothing for rent and he
was released on a $500 bond to appear
in Judge Winters court later the same
week. He gave the Judge a check for
$500 and when an attempt was made
to cash it the bank refused it.
Officers then searched for Artunoff
but they learned he had fled to FL
Paso.
Arrested there the fugitive filed a
writ of habeas corpus which was
granted him in court He took the first
train east, and last week again was
arrested 1t is said that Artunoff left
Lowell with more than $4,000, as he
owned ranch at Stark.
Sheriff James Mcdonald has decided
to make thorough excavation on the
Stark ranch as he believes that if
Artunoff's wife is buried there every
effort should be made to find the re-
mains. Mcdonald will form a posse
in the near future and every portion
of the ranch owned by Artunoff will
be searched.
