CHARGES COUNCIL
 RULED BARRACKS
 UNDER U. $. ORDER
Government Agent Submits Report of Soldiers Strike
 at LeavenwOrth

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 2.-That the United States disciplinary bar racks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, was ruled by a "council' of prison CTS from January to July, 1919, and that this method of administration was adopted on orders from the war department was asserted in report made today by Oscar c. Schmitz, special agent for the department of justice.
 The report was made public today by the United States district attor- ney's office in Kansas City, Kansas. The department of justice investiga- tion of affairs at the military prison was made upon order of Judge John Pollock, federal district judge for the eastern district of Kansas, after prisoners from the disciplinary bar racks, on trial in Judge Pollack's court in January, 1920, testified as to the existence of a counctil of pris- oners, which, it was alleged, Iran" affairs at the disciplinary barracks in 1919.
 A statement from Col. Segwick Rice, commandant at the disciplinary barracks at the time of the "prison council is alleged to have been es- tablished forms part of the report. Colonel Rice in his statement said that he conferred with war depart ment officials in Washington in Jan- uary, 1919, as to conditions in the prison after one of the series of "strikes" among the prisoners.
 Delivers Demands
 "The demands of the prisoners, in writing, were delivered by me in per son to Secretary Baker," Colonel Rice said in his statement. "His reply in writing was delivered by me to the prisoners. The establishment of the prisoners conference commit tee followed, on orders from the ad- jutant general of the army"
 Many of the details of the manage ment and administration of the pris- on were turned over to committees of prisoners, according to state- ments of prisoners and former pris- oners contained in Schmitz' report. A judicial committee was establish ed and subcommittee for the kit chen, dining room, yard and sleeping quarters.
 The "kitchen committee" it is al- legged, smuggled out potato parings from the kitchen and manufactured liquor from them.
 Testimony set forth in the report indicated that the "council" system was discontinued in July, 1919, after it failed to restore satisfactory con- ditions to the prison. Colonel Rice ditions to the prisona. Colonel Rice prison shortly afterward.
 Judge Pollock, who ordered the investigation, is now absent on a vacation and officials were unable to say whether further action would follow the report. They declared that was matter for the judges de- cision.

POLAND TO FIGHT UNTIL BOLSHEVIST
 ARMY IS CRUSHED
Continued From Pare 1


 Sapieha declared, "has always been guided only by it's duty to defend the independence and territorial integ-' rity of Polish and guard Europe against the bolshevik wave"
 Direct answer to Secretary Colby's admonition to abstain from terri torial aggressions against Russia was made in the second note forwarded by the Polish government in which was stated:
 "Poland desires just, lasting and equitable peace, and has not altered her attitude in consequence of her recent victory. Poland has not made war on the Russian nation, and has the most sincere desire to live on peaceful and friendly terms with her eastern neighbors. Peaceful re- lations between Poland and Russia will be easily established if the real spirit of justice and sound, common territorial concessions which, based upon the desire of the local popula- tion, the economic necessities and the national rights, will create a state of things that will render im- possible feeling of suffered wrong and future reclamations.
 "The Polish government, however, has the honor to draw the attention of the United States government to the circumstances that provisional eastern frontier laid down by the peace conference has not been re- spected by the bolshevik government. In spite of the diplomatic interven- tion of our allies, the Red army has for whole month advanced and rav- aged territory which is admitted by all as being ethnographically Polish. Notwithstanding the sympathetic attitude of our allies, the Polish na- tion had to face the danger alone, and political events proved that it must in the first place, rely upon it's own military strength. If military operations necessitated the measures to prevent renewed invasion of Po- land, it could hardly be considered fair that artificial boundaries that not bind one opponent should in- terfere with the military operations fthe other.
 However, the Polish government hopes that speedy and just peace will put aside any difficulties which might arise in the case of further war. It is fiery gratifying for the Polish nation to feel that in the ef- fort to arrive at just peace it has the support of the United States gov ernment's sympathetic attitude"

New rates to be charged users of gas, which will go into effect en the first of August have just been announced by the Norwich Gas and Electric department, which is advertising the new rates, ac- cording to the legal requirement that they must be advertised for a month be- fore they ar< put into effect.
 The new lates will reach the smaller users of gas it was stated at the gas office Thursday afternoon, where it was also said that it means just as much trouble to look after the man who uses only a few thousand cubic feet per month as the one who uses many thous- ands.
 The gas and electric commissioners state tICt they are obliged to make the raise in rate because of the excessive in crease of the cost of all material enter ing into the manufacture of gas. There IS no change in electric lighting rate ex- cept to raise the minimum charge from 50 cents to S1O0 per month, which is the meter charge whether any electricity is used in the month or not
 Previously there have been four rates charged according to amount of gas used The new schedule of prices pro- vides for six different rates.
 On the old rate the minimum charge or meter charge, was 50 cents per month This is now raised to $1. The, former rate was s1.50 per thousand cubic feet for all up to 30,0oo feet, s1.35 per thousand feet for, all using from 3o.000 to 150, ,0OC feet, and $1.15 per thousand cubic feel for all over 150,000 feet.
 The new rates announced are:
 First 100 cubic feet month $1.o0.

 It was stated at the gas office that the only customer to come under the old lowest rate of $1.15 was the American Thermos Bottle factory, the largest users of gas, and that the United Starss Fin ishing Co. was the next largest L. ~ of gas and came under the medium rate or $1.35.
 An announcement just made in Middle town of gas meter charge of 70 cents per month from June 30 and a raise Tn the gas rates has stirred up storm of protest there. It is claimed the gas costs the consumer $140 per month when the cost to the company is $1.14. The Hartford Electric Light Co. has | just announced that beginning August l | it will increase it's price of current 15 per cent. to all except residenti2l GUS I toners.

STORRS IS. GRATEFUL
Connecticut Go. Head Thanks Bridge port Mayor for Securing Action in Favor of Trolley Company.

New Haven, July 13.-President Storrs of the Connecticut company sent to Mayor Wilson an acknowl- edgement of the action of the board of aldermen today in attempting by ordinance the restriction of jitneys in Bridgeport in which he said the com pany would postpone discontinuaucs of trolley servics in order to see how restrictions worked out.
 The statement fellows:
 Having given full consideration to your suggestion and having com municated with those of the trustees who can be reached Tn reply will say that we are uncertain whether such regulation of the jitney will in fact fully protect the company but if such ordinance be passed and be made imm ediately effective the company will postpone the discontinuance of service for one month in the nope that the ordinance aided by strict en- forcement of its provisions and of other ex isting traffic regulations may prove effective, and in the fur - ther hope that the citizens of Bridge port may realize that patronage ana fair treatment of the trolleys are es- sential to a final solution of the transportation problems of the city,
