merce, they are conducting negotia-
lions face to face with the diplomats
of the worlds most expanded world
empire. Now it is announced that as
result of these negotiations the
soviet government has been authoriz-
ed to open Immediately central trad
ing office in London, there to ex-
change Russian goods for the wares
of British traders.
Mr.. Bakhmetev is still-by our
act-by our state departments act
the custodian of the supplies bought
in America for Russia in 1917 with
American public money loaned to the
Kerensky Russian government out of
the American public treasury. Mr..
MISUNDERSTANDING ambassador
lis still the custodian of the cash
secured by the selling of those sup
plies. He lives on his continued di-
plomatic recognition by our state de-
partment.
For two and half years our state
department has maintained Russian
embassy which is nothing but its own
Russian annex of favorite Russian
factionsists. and for two and half
years our state department has been
continuously wrong on the facts and
-, on the developments of the facts in
Russia.
The question here is not, Should
we recognize the soviets? The ques-
tion here is, Should we get the facts?
We are kept from the facts by a
Russian embassy representing a Rus
STA which exists only at the bottoms
of glasses on tables of luxurious exiles
in Washington. We are kept
the facts by Russian division Of the
American state department which
tells us that the soviets are falling un
til they fall securely into the hands
of British traders!
We Americans need state depart
ment which is not so good for Mr..
Bakhmetev and not so good for the
British, but is better for America
and for the truth. Chicago Daily News

detectives tomorrow will begin
systematic search of the 1OO-acre
estate of Enrica Caruso here in a fl
nal effort to discover the hiding place
OF 100000 worth Of jewels that

The detectives plan to dig up ev-
cry square yard of earth on the
grounds. they announced, being con-
fident that the missing jewels are
secreted within the estate.
Guards were doubted tonight as a
result of threats made against mem
bers of the family, and also to frus-
trate, it was said, any attempt that
might be made to remove the jewels
from their hiding place and carry
them off.
None of the employees is being per-
mitted TO leave the grounds.

SHOE PRICES CUT.

General reductions in the whole
sale price of shoes were announced
yesterday afternoon by the Carru-
theirs Shoe Company Wfiie the re-
auctions are small in proportion to
the high price of shoes, they cover
all grades and styles. The prices
have been cut from 25 cents to $3.50
per pair, and according to Ewing Car
ruthers, president of the concern,
the higher grades registered the
greatest, decline.
"The people have quit buying high
priced goods" said Mr.. Carruthers
yesterday, land their determination
to economic will gradually force the
prices of shoes and other things down
to a reasonable basis. The public
now wants middle-class shoes and
they refuse to buy the higher priced
grades. This fact, together with the
tight money market, has forced shoe
merchants throughout the United
States to cut their prices. st. Louis
dealers this week announced substan-
tial reductions and the tendency to-
wards lower shoe prices seems gem
eral throughout the country. We are
making a general reduction in prices
at present, and even greater declines
may come within the next few weeks
II. c. Yeakers, sales manager and
purchasing agent for Goodbar & Com
pany, said last night that his firm is
also contemplating slight reduc-
ton in shoe prices. He said the new
price schedule, which is now under
preparation, will provide for an av-
erage decrease of or 8 per cent
from the present prices.
Mr.. Yeakers agreed with Mr.. Car
ruthers that the reduction is caused
by refusal of the people to buy, the
higher priced articles. He said there
will be little cutting of prices of the
lower grade shoes, but that the great
est reduction will be made in the
higher and fancy grades. Mr.. Yeak
ers said that his new price schedule
will show a reduction of from 10
cents to $3.50 per pair.
Both dealers declared the new
prices will have no immediate effect
upon the retail price. because the re-
taller bought his stock before the re-
auctions were made. They said that
most retailers are oyerstocked with
shoes and that in many instances
they are cutting prices in order "a

Increased Car Service to Lake

FAMINE IS PREVENTED
Railway Executives and Coal Operators
Agree on Plan To Get Plenty of

New York-Plans for increased coal
car service to Lake Erie parasitic
gateways of the Northwest-to pre-
vent all possibility of winter coal

Railway Executives and the National
Coal association. the latter represent

The plan will be submitted at once
to the Interstate Commerce commits

necessary orders to put it In effect
on all railroads.
While details of the plan will not be
made public until after they have
been approved by the Interstate Com
merce commission, statement from
the coal operators said the plan will
permit the movement of sufficient coal
to prevent a famine in any part of the
country during the coming winter.

At present, it is said, the movement

was explained, enough coal to prevent
