Chicago, Aug. 4.-Warrants were issued today for two men who are said by police to have defrauded "liquor syndicate" out of $81 ,0O0 paid to them for whiskey which was never delivered.
 Samuel l.. Listicky who posed as the owner of the liquor, is being held, and police are hunting for Harry Michelev, owner of pickle factory, who is said to have engineered the deal. Litisky, when arrested, was suffering from severe bruises, in- flicted, he said, by the duped saloon keepers. He told the police that af- ter beating him they suspended him by his heels from window on the twentieth floor of a downtown ho- tel and threatened to let him drop if he did not return their money.

HQWATT SAYS THAT
 LEWIS IS TRAITOR 70 MINERS CAUSE
Declares Union Chief and Not He is the Dema-
 gOgue

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. 4.-Alexand CT M. Howat, president of the Kan sas Mine Workers union, tonight sent telegram to John L. Lewis president of the Information union refusing to abide by instructions re. iceived from Lewis today that strik. ing coal miners return to work i'm. mediately.
 The reply to Lewis follows:
 q received your message this af- ternoon which I regard as direct insult. The cowardly insinuation you have made that I have called the miners on strike at this time is without the least semblance of truth and in conformity with many other statements that you have made. Had you stood firmly in defense of the mine workers of the country last winter when they were making such g noble fight to obtain justice at the hands of coal corporations, as you are standing in defense of the op- orators at this time there would have been no occasion for the Illinois and Indiana mine workers to cease work to secure another increase in wages.
 "You speak of demagobues, know of no man who is more of a dem agcgue than yourself. I am ready to compare my record with yours al any time and the miners then may judge for themselves who is dema- gogue. If you were as much con- \cerned about the welfare of the miners as you appear to be about the coal operators the conditions of the mine workers of the country would be great deal better than they are today.
 "As I have stated your telegram is cowardly insult and unworthy of a gentlemen and man and deserves no consideration at the hands of any self-respecting man and it shall not receive any consideration at my hands. Your action in sending a committee of the international exc cutive board here. and that you will take charge of the district and de- pose me from office, shall not in fluence me in the least. have com mitteed no crime; I have not violated the laws of our organization and as far as I am concerned you may proceed to do your worst. but during the time that I am president of the district, regardless of you and all other opposition that may stand in the path of justice, am going to continue to stand for what believe is right in behalf of the men I have the honor to represent, and any ac- tion on your part shall not influence mo otherwise.'
 Indianapolis, Aug. 4.-President Wilson has expressed to John L Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, his gratifica- tion over the prompt action taken by MT. Lewis in directing the strik- ing coal miners of Illinois and India na to return to work. Lewis receiv- ed letter from President Wilson today.

B0LSHEv|KI SEEK 10 CUT OFF POLISH SEA CORRIDOR FIRST Capture of Warsaw Said to ho
 Secondary Objec-
 tive REDS SCORE GREAT
 VICTORY ON THE RIG roles Agree to Meet Soviet Envov. at Minsk as Soon as It is Feas. ible-Army in 62 Miles of
 Warsaw

farls, Aug. 4.-The French mil;tary advisers at Warsaw have renorted = the government here that the prime objective of the bolshevik army on- efatlng against the Poles at the mo- 'heht IS to cut off the Polish sea corridor, including Danzig rather than the capture of Warsaw, which thev say would follow soon afterward
 The cutting of the corridor wopld mean the severing of the one direct railroad line extending from Danzic to Warsaw over which the vast bulk o1 munitions for the Polish army IS arriving, and also the other rail- roads running from Danzig into Po- land. The bolshevik cavalry was les. than 50 miles from this railroad last Tuesday.
 The experts add that the bolsheyik are boasting that they will offer the territory of the Polish sea corridor to Germany as the bolshevik do not re- cognize the treaty of Versailles.
 Paris, Aug. 4.sHSlshevik forces ap- parently have scored a great militarv victory over the Poles who are re- ported to have been forced to aban- don the Bug river line and possibly Will be completed to relinquish War saw. According to the latest reports reaching Paris, the Polish army for the time being at least has gone to pieces and the bolshevik columns, ad- vancing in echelon in accordance with approved German technique, are ell- veloplng Warsaw simultaneously from the north and the east.
 The Bug river line, Poland's Marne. has gone almost without fight, con- polling the Poles to make rapid re- treat and shorten their front, which some of the military experts believe will be likely to bring the Poles to the Vistula and San rivers and involve the abandonment of half the country to the invaders.
 Warsaw, Aug. 1.-The Polish gov- ernment today replied to the Russian soviet government, agreeing to meet representatives of the bolshevik at Minsk as soon as is feasible.
 This decision was reached after m all day sitting of the council of de- fense and the allied mission.
 It is probable the Polish delegation will depart for Minsk Thursday.
 London, Aug. 5.-A wireless dis- patch from Berlin says the Russians have now advanced to within 62 milS9 of Warsaw on the east and to within about 40 miles east of Lemberg. IT. dispatch adds that there is papjS in Warsaw and that all the wealthy people are fleeing.
 Cracow, Poland, Aug. 4.-Thousanda of wounded soldiers are taxing hos- pital facilities here, and doctors an3 nurses, exhausted by long vigils are often dropping beside the operatipe tables.
