Russian Soviet Turns Down Proposal
For Polish Peace.
London-The reply of the Russian
soviet government to the British note
concerning an armistice with Poland,
rejects in substance the British peace
proposals, accordings to the London
Times, which publishes summary of
the soviet answer
The Bolsheviki decline to come to
London for the suggested peace con-
ference, according to the Times, be-
cause they say Great Britain is not
impartial. They also object to the ad-
mission to the. conference of delegates
from the Baltic states, saying Russia
already has made peace with them.
AS to Poland, the Bolshevik govern
ment points out that the proposed ar
mist1ce line is unfair to Poland, and
that with direct negotiations the Boil
sheviki are prepared to grant Poland

Prince Joachim, Youngest Of Ho.
henzo|Ierns' Commits Suicide
In Fit of Melancholy,
FAV0RITE
Financial Difficulties, Sting Of Coun
try's Defeat In War and Domestic
Troubles Broke Health and
Affected Mind.

Berlin-Prince Joachim of Hohen
collern, youngest son of former EN-
peror William, committed suicide in
Potsdam. Advices from that city say
he shot himself while in his residence,
the Villa Leignitz. He was removed
to st. Joseph's hospital where he died
an hour later.
Joachim is believed to have been in
financial straits and had been suffer-
ing from great mental depression. He
recently brought suit for divorce. The
only member of the former imperial
family now in Potsdam is Eitel Frede
rick, the second son of the former EN-.
peror.
Prince Eitel, questioned as to the
motive for his borther's suicide, de.
clined to make any statement, refer.
ring the correspondent to the official
announcement that Joachim was suf-
fering from "a fit of excessive demen.
tia."
kaisers Favorite Son.
Prince Joachim, was was born De-
cember IL, 1890, in Berlin, was the
sixth son, and was believed to have
been the favorite of the former en-
peror. After the defeat of the Ger
mans in the war, it was rumored that
the kaiser would abdicate in favor of
Joachim.
The humiliation of the Allied peace
terms and the downfall of the Hohen-
zollern house weighed heavily upon
the proud, militaristic mind of the
youngest prince: more so than upon
his more phlegmatic brother princes
The refusal of the German people to
continue to treat him as prince of a
ruling house, together with his lost
popularity, also rasped his vain-glori-
GUS nature and led him to excuses in
gambling, drink and with women,
which wrecked his home tfe and re-
suited in brooding melancholia settling
upon his mind
Joachim's mother, the former en-
press, is said to have been informed
of her sons suicide. It was feared
that the shock of the tragedy would
greatly aggravate the illness from
which she has been suffering the past
year.

COAL FOR NORTHWEST
Increased Car Service To Make
Fuel Supply Certain.
Railway Executives and Coal Opera
tors Agree on Plan to Get Plenty
Of Coal to Lake Ports.

New York-Plans for increased coal
gateways of the Northwest-to pre-
vent all possibility of a winter coal
famine, were agreed ON at a confer
ence here between the Association of
Railway Executives and the National
Coal association, the latter represent
ing the bituminous industry.
The plan will be submitted at once
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion for approval and the issuance OF
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 famine in any part of the
country during the coming winter.
At the Washington conference Mr.
Willard of the railroad executives sug-
gested that the Interstate Commerce
Commission issue formal orders to
railroads of the United States to dump
1000 cars of coal day for the North
west at Lake Erie ports.
BY this method, it is pointed out, the
Northwest will be able to receive the
necessary winter supply of 28,000,000
tons Of coal before the lakes freeze. 1t
will be a matter of secondary i'm
portance to find boats to bring the coal
from the Erie points to the Head of
the Lakes.
At present, it is said, the movement
OF coal from the mines to the shipping
points on Lake Erie Is about half nor
NAL. BY the speeding up process, it
was explained, enough coal to prevent
any possibility of a famine will be
brought within reach of consumers of
the Northwest.

G. o. P. Nominee.

rupt Practices Act BY Calling
Opponent Atheist.

OF having violated the corrupt prac-
tees act by referring to his opponent,
Congressman Andrew J. Volstead, as
an ATHEIST" and his nomination was
annulled, in decision handed down
by Judge Albert Johnson of Red Wing.
Congressman Volstead automatically
is made the regular Republican NOM
1nee. Judge Johnson held that such
charges, made by minister of the
Gospel" whose word could we'll be
taken as true under ordinary circum-
stances, would naturally lead to dis
aster for his opponent.
Voters Brought Suit.
The decision was rendered in the
case brought by 40 voters of the
seventh district charging that Mr..
kvale had violated the corrupt prac-
tees act by referring to Congressman
Volstead as an atheist" The case
was heard at Benson by Judge John
son, who was assigned there when the
local Judge asked to be relieved.
Such charges made in a Christian
and God fearing community like the
Seventh district by minister of the
Gospel, whose word could we'll be
taken as true under ordinary circum-
stances, would lead to disaster and de-
feat of the opposing candidate" said

Washington-Despit bitter CON-

eminent officials here take hopeful
view of the nations ability to move
the wheat crop, which now is being

bread prices next winter are to be

promptly this upward tendency should
be prevented and prices even may be

problem and the labor shortage prob
lem are now the crux of the struggle
to get the wheat crops to the markets.
