Recognition OF New
Russian Government Urged

Paris, May 12.-The movement for
the recognition of the government of
Admiral Kolchak at Omsk by the al
lies and the United States as the de
facto government in Russia is point
ed to generally in Paris and the an
nouncement of its recognition any day
would not be surprising.
Tschaikawsky of the northern Rus
sian government at Archangel has
consented to recognize the Kolchak
government as the defacto government
on condition that local governments be
permitted to retain control OF local
affairs.
Similar action is expected on the
part of General Dentines, the head
of the Kodak government at Ekat-
erinoder, whose advisers in Paris have
recommended it. According to dis
patches received by the Russian com
mittee In Paris. Pamera, an important
point on he Volga, has been evacuat-
ed by the Bolsheviki, and Kolchak's
forces are moving rapidly toward the
yolga in pursuit of the ~retreating Boil
sheviki
The various Russian factions in
Paris apparently are coming together
on a platform providing the support
of any government which guarantees
a constitutional assembly elected by
universal suffrage. Former Premier
Kerensky, who is in Paris, opposes
Admiral Kolchak's government, but
the admiral's repeated promises of a
constitutional assembly apparently
has satisfied most of the Russian Rad
icals in Paris.

Professor Discovers
Unknown Species Of Bug

Huron, May 12.-Dr. r. J Gilmore
of Huron College recently discovered
a new and previously unknown species
of water-flea in the James River neal
Huron. Every year Professor Gill
more's class in field zoology strains
the water of the Jim with silk boiling
cloth to get specimens of the various
insects and microscopic organisms
which inhabit it. DR.. Gilmore was
surprised to find among his specimens
one with which he was unfamiliar and
which he was unable to identify. 1t
is a little larger than a pin point and
resembles in some ways the water
flea. 1t has upper and lower wings
like a Curtis Biplane. A specimen was
sent to DR.. l.. C. Birge, President of
the University of Wisconsin and one
of the foremost biologists in the coun-
try. He wrote DR.. Gilmore that the
insect was unknown to science. DR..
Gilmore has named his discovery the
Biplane water-fiea.

Minneapolis To Entertain
American Legion

st Louis, May 10.-TO Minneapolis
goes the honor of entertaining the first
national convention Of the American
Legion-the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who were in the service in the
war. Minneapolis won the convention
after a spirited fight when the caucus
overruled the decision of the resolu-
lions committee. A contributing fac
tor was the backing of Lieutenant
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.
Chicago made a valient and drama
tic fight to win the honor. Chicago
delegates took the floor and assailed
the proposition, advanced by other
delegates, that, because of the result
of the recent mayoralty election there,
Chicago was not a desirable place for
a gathering of the veterans of the
world war.
Minneapolis Beats Out Chicago

OFFICIALS ASK FOR
 MAYSTATEMENTSON
 OPEN CORN TRADES.
Dips and Bulges Follow in Rapid Succession Oats Closed Down, With Pro-
 visions Seesawing
Rx As,enIa,.a Prs.

Chicago, April 3.-Much nervousness developed in the corn market today re- garding action of exchange officials in asking members for a statement of open trades in May corn exceeding 25.oo0 bushels
 Dips and bulges followed in rapid succession. The market closed unset tied. 1% c not lower to 1hc advance, with May s1.55% to s1.55h. and July $1.451a to s145%. Oats finished hc to $%c down. and provisions varying from 25o of to roc advance.
 Owing to the irregularity which char acterized the numerous price changes in corn. it looked as though many trad CTS were trying to even up all out standing deals and thus get away from the necessity of a statement. Selling centered chiefly on the May delivery.
 Later months were relatively nrm, and gossip was current that there would not be any big accumulation Of corn here before September.
 On the other hand Argentine ship ping advices were more distinctly bear ish. Big stocks gave an advantage to the bears in oats.
 Advanced quotations on hogs made the provision market average higher, despite packers selling.

COTTON TRADING IS BOOSTED BY SEVERAL FAVORABLE FACTORS
Close Was Steady, With New Style Months 15 to 50 Points Higher Than
 Thursday
By Assoclated Pres

New York, April 3.-Better foreign news, the firmer tone of exchange, reports of increased New England mill activity and unfavorable weather for new crop prepa- rations in the south were all factors on today's early advance in the cotton mar ket. New style May contracts sold up to 26c and october to 21,55c, making net advances of g to 4 points and recov- cry of 2o to 2S1 points from the low levels of last week Realizing became active at these prices and there were reactions later, but the close was very steady with new style months 15 to 50 and old style months to 3s points net higher.
 The feature of Liverpool news was the increased spot business sales being reported of 10000 bales or. the largest for any one day in many months. Con- sidering the unfavorable trade conditions recently reported in Lancashire, local traders thought this might reflect expec- tations of an early conclusion of peace, and houses with Liverpool connections were active buyers here There was also an increasing demand from Wall street and western sources and after opening lS 10 ~ points HlBIier oii eHo iho.o "N''' months, new style positions sold 37 to 49 points above last nights closing fig ures. Old style months showed net gains of 20 to 75 points with July relatively firm on covering by trade and Wall street shorts
 Reports that the French foreign min ister expected peace prelimnaries to be completed before Easter helped the ad- vance. while there was also buying on reports that some of the prominent Fall River mills would go on full time next week.
 The advance met a good deal of realiz- ing, however, and there was selling Tor a reaction on talk of an easier technical position and a belief that futures were at nearly a parity with the south as May contracts at 26 cents here compared with & quotation of 25c for middling cotton at Norfolk. The close was 10 to 24 points off from the rest.

PROFESSIONALS AND POOLS IN CHARGE OF
 THE STOCK MARKET
Market Finished With a Heavy Undertone, With Steel Forced Down
 to 97 1-2
By Assseiatss prsss

New York. April 3.-Eliminating the familiar methods of acceleration ena- ployed by pools and associated pro- fessional interests. trading in stocks today was featureless, the demand for high grade shares showing almost steady diminution.
 Conservative interests were again restrained by the confusing character of Paris advices and the refusal of Di- rector General Hines of the railroad administration to accept the schedule of steel prices fixed by the industrial board
 The latter episode, which took Wall street completely by surprise, occa- stoned unsettlement at the outset and in the later dealings, steels and equip ments reacting 1 to almost 3 points.
 Measuring statements from Wash. ington in the course of the session were of little avail, heavy selling movement setting in towards the close which not only effaced most of the dy's gains, but left many leaders at net losses
 United States Steel was freed down to 971a and with other industriais, shippings. oils and specialties register ed extreme reversa1s of to points, the market finishing with a heavy un- dertone.
 Metals were among the few excep- lions to the reactionary trend, Ameri- can Smelting and several other active coppers holding firm. to strong Att lantic Gulf also rebounded from its minimum price, but rails forfeited their moderate advances
 Sound investment conditions were indicated by the keen inquiry for war finance bonds, but this demand found no reflection in the general market for high-class securities.
 Liberty bonds were firmer, foreign issues continued to ease and changes Tn domestic rails and industriaIs were narrow. Total sales (par value) az sregated Sl4,150,00o. Old United States coupon 4s rose 1s per cent on sales, others unchanged on call.

 New Orleans Cotton
 By Associated Pre-.
 New Orleans, April 3-Sales of 10OG bales on the spot In the English market caused much comment. Opening at the advance the market improved until it stood 45 to 4s points up on the new con tracts. In the afternoon the tendency was to sag under realizing sales from the long side and reactions of about a dollar 8 bale occurred The close showed net gains of 30 to s2 points on the new contract and IF to & points on the old. The bullish attitude of the foreign mar ket served to completely offset bearish feeling aroused by the recent announce ment from Manchester of a shutdown of 14 working days this month.
 Shorts covered on the opening and for sometime thereafter. Rains in the western belt, cold weather in the eastern and predictions of more rain to come over a large portion of the cotton coun- try brought in new buying for long &C., count. At the highest, new May went to 4.7sc and new October to 21.04c.
 During the early session there were reports of higher spot prices here and when the market was quoted unchanged at 2560c for middling, considerable liqui- dation came from longs.
