"Red Army" in US. Prison
StirS Inmates to Mutinv

upon the operation of the prison
soviet government.
Witness after witness told of the
operations of the soviet thugs and
the reign of terror they inspired
among the thousands of prisoners
in the barracks. In the final gen.
eral mutiny, number of wit
nesses declared, an easy majority
OF the prisoners was opposed to the
soviet demand that general am
nesty be declared. They had seen
SO much of the work of the red
sluggers, however. that when the
word went forth for all prisoners
to strike the majority dared not
refuse the demands Of the soviet
leaders.
Among the first of the mutineers
to be sent to Alcatraze prison fol-
lowing the quelling of the mutiny
with Army guns was one Clemons
Goldstein. former prize fighter, and
head of the soviet special yard
committee. He was represented by
other prisoners as being the chief
of the soviet slugging crews. In
nearly every slugging story of the
witnesses before the Department of
Justice inquisitors this mans name
was mentioned.

Meanwhile various railroads are
working out merger proposals to sub.

sitions for pooling the management
and operation of railways under one
corporation can be effected, officials
said, until complete plan has been
framed by the commission Proposed
mergers must conform to that plan.
officials said
Hearings on the tentative scheme
adopted by the commission will be
held when it is ready.
Many problems are involved in
| reaching tentative decision, officials
declared. Use of the established clas-
siflcat1on territories-eastern, south
ern. western and intermountain-is
practically impossible for consolida-
tion purpose, because of the neces-
sity of keeping the system to be
formed on a competitive basis. The
values of the various properties also
| must be considered, but the commits
sion has not decided whether it will
be necessary to complete it's valua-
ton of railroad properties before
adopting a consolidation plan.
The military angle of the question
| also is under consideration and the
War Department is working out it's
plan for the use of the railroads in
! time of war, it was said.
| The necessity of co-ordinating the
commercial requirements of peace
J with the speedy transportation of
| troops and supplies in case of hos
tilities, they said. is further compli-
eating the matter.

Heated Debate on Terms
of Proposed Armistice
Now Goes on at Riua

RIGA, October 9-The commissions
of the Russo-Polish conference re-
sumed their sessions at o'clock this
morning. The entire personnel of
both delegations assembled at Black
head House, where outstanding ques-
tions were discussed heatedIy and
without any indication as to when
the armistice would be signed.
Both delegations, it is known,
hoped the armistice arrangements
might be completed today, but it
seemed possible that the negotiations
might be prolonged into next week
The two sides are still far apart
on some points, especially on the
amount Russia shall pay Poland, the
length of the armistice and the time
when notice for breaking of the
armistice must be given. -
The Poles named a large sum and
the Russian delegates made small
counter offer. The delegations ap-
parently are far from a compromise.
Both the Poles and the bolshevikl
are very irritated and exhausted by
the constant meetings.
1t is rumored that it may be neces-
sary to sign another protocol, fixing
another date within which the armis-
tice must be signed. but there is no
official intimation that this will be
done.
Complaint is made by Lithuanian
authorities that the Poles have pre-
vented the signing Of an immediate
armistice covering all territory in dis
pute between the TWO countries, and
that Poland Is delaying an agreement
as to the demarkation line until Polish
troops occupy all the territory they
desire.
The control commission of the
league Of nations. which is endeavor-
ing to settle the differences between
I,ithuania and Poland. went from Su-
walki to Orany today to Investigate

Remarks "Son of Great Sire
Is ShameIessly Paraded
Before the Public"

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, October 9.-
Gov Cox, in fourteen speeches through
Indiana from the Ohio river to Terre
Haute, closing with tent mass meet
ing here tonight, centered his fire on
the Des Moines speech of Senator
Harding. his republican opponent.
The senatorial candidate for the
presidency within the last three days,
Gov. Cox told his audiences, has de-
clared positively against the league
of nations. 1 am for the league and /
am for it with all my SOUL
In his league preachments Gov. Cox
charged Theodore Roosevelt with
misstating that the league could de-
clare war and send troops abroad.
Reasserting that Congress only has
such authority, Gov. Cox said, Some
real friends of the great Roosevelt,
if there be any who are on speaking
terms with the reactionary crowd
now in control Of the republican
party, should set this boy right con-
cerning the fundamentals of the
league. It is pitiable spectacle to
see this son of q great sire shame
lessly paraded before the public. Out
'lustrious father some one should take
this juvenile statesman aside and, In
primer fashion, make plain what
really ought to be obvious. Such emf
nent statesmen as Judge Taft and for
mer Attorney General Wickersham,
who, for the sake of party victory,
have sacrificed principles to their par

were continuous in the governor 8
Indiana tour. He reiterated charges
that Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
was 'the basest conspirator in all
history" and urged defeat of SEN
ators who signed the round-robin
against the league.
Gov. Cox declared that today's tour
was "old- fashioned American cam
paigning." Travelling by special train
from Louisville, the governor spoke
at New Albany. Salem. Orleans. Bor-

decorations were the rule, and at many
stops the governor left his rear platform

ranged to leave here late tonight and

deep water. But he did not get his feet
wet. He chung to the boats side with
his heels, and with assistance recovered
his position in the boat.
