and killed his mother and his younger
sister, probably fatally injured his
older sister and then shot himself, Gre
ber's brother and wife were visiting
at the time and the tragedy was wit
messed by Greber's sister-in-law, who
attempted to take the pistol from him.
The cause Of the tragedy Is not known
and is perpleXlng to officials and
friends, as Greber has been a citizen
and in unusually good standing for
years, Although Greber has not re-
gained consciousness since the affair,
it is said by physicians that he will
recover
Reports received from the hospital
at Canadian. where the older sister was
sent, indicate that little hope is held
out for her recovery. According to
statements of the only eye witness,
Greber's sister-in- law. the shooting was
premeditated and apparently was care
fully planned. The weapon employed
was 32-caliber automatic pistol.

YAz00 WILL FIGHT FOR
BETTER FREIGHT RATES

YAZOO CITY, Miss, May 6. (Spl.)
What promises to be a lively fight
Is developing between the Yazoo Com
mercial club and the Southern railroad
in Mississippi and the Y. & NJ. V. rail
road. Basing their action on a recent
decision of the interstate commerce
commission that these railroads revise
their freight rates the railroads claim
that the increase here is made manda-
tory, while the Commercial club and
experts consulted by The Commercial
club claim that the increase is not made
mandatory on the GreenYood-Yazoo
City line.
A short time ago the b Fish
Lumber company, OF Charleston, Miss,
asserted that a discrimination was be-
ing made against Charleston in the
matter of freight rates. Rates to the
Greenwood -Yazoo City group of towns
were among those cited before the COM
merce commission. Now the railroad
has filed a schedule of the proposed
increase which will mean hundreds Of
thousands of dollars a year more freight
on practically every article that comes
into Yazoo City, and the Commercial
club proposes to resort to the commerce
commission and the courts If the mat
ter cannot be adjusted with the rail-
roads.

Russian Specialists in Paris
Expect Decided Changes in
Situation Within the Next
Few Weeks as Result.

PARIS, May g., (By the Associated
Press. specialists on Russian subjects
attached to various allied delegations at
the peace conference expect decided
changes in the Russian situation within
the next few weeks.
The Finnish military movement, which
has been threatening Petrograd and
which has been shrouded with mystery,
is now well defined. Gen. Udeniteh and
1000 Russians operating with him have
the support of the Finnish government
and troops and have recruited large
numbers of Russian peasants who have
become tired of BolsheVik reQuisitions.
Gen, Udenitch has occupied Petrol
Avodsk, Olonetz and Ladeince Pole, east
Of lake Ladoga and thus controls the
escape of the Bolsheviki operating
against the allied forces in the
southern end of the Kola peninsula
has been made impossible and com
munication between the Moscow gov
eminent and the Thurman coast has
been cut. Under the direction of Gen,
Udenitch n the leaders of the Fin
plsh forces there the residents of the
karelia district are apparently prepar-
ing to launch a movement looking u
their annexation to Finland. This
would give Finland the kola railway
and a northern outlet to the Arctic.
The Russian committee, working for
a united Russia here, is decidedly un,
favorable to such a step and is try
ing to block it.
Admiral Kolchak's Siberian army
continues its movement westward to.
ward the Nolga and it Is expected the
cities of Viatka and Samara will fal
into their hands soon. The BolsheVik
there are apparently incapable o.
