 RIGA, Oct. 12.-A preliminary peace treaty and arnaistice was signed by the Polish and Russian soviet peace delegates here st 7:10 o'clock tonight.
 The armistiee actually becomes effective at midnight, Oct. 19.
 The announcement that peace was to be signed brought great crowds to the square surrounding the Black Head house. M. Joffe and the bolshevik delegation en- tered the hall first and were fol- lowed by N. Dombski and the Pol ish delegation. About 200 persons, including the ehtire diplomatic body, crowded the small room.
 Considerable delay ensued, which was due to the physical work nee essary for the completion ot the treaties for the signatures. Tired by more than five days and nights of almost constant work, M. Jotte looked extremely pale, but his voice showed no nervousness when he announced without rising that the treaty had been completed, and began reading the Russian text.
 The head of the soviet delegation described the Riga peace as "a peace without victory and without vanquished" tn a brief address be- fore the signature of the treaty

The indictment of at least a score or persons on charges of conspiracy to violate the prohibition amendment will be asked this week of the federal grand jury. 1t was stated at the federl building. To this grand jury, 1t was said. will be presented the names of wholesale whiskey dealers, numerous fedral employees. as we'll as go-betweens' politicians and others.
 The information placed at the dis posal of tho federal authorities by sad fer is said to have disclosed that the bootlegging already carried on in Chi cago by the whiskey ring has been so extensive as to have netted those en- gagged in the operation close to $l,- 00O. .000. It was also discovered, it was said. that those engaged in the traffic had not found it necessary to forge permits for the removal of liquor. but had been. able to obtain bona fide ones and also later to remove all incrimi- hating records from the offices of the prohibition officials through the cor ruption of officials entrusted with the task of expressing the sales of liquor.
 One woman employed in one of the government offices in Washington was said to have been named as a pawn In tho hands of the "whiskey ring"

  have resulted from the seizure here on August 24 of a shipment of 1000 cases of whisleey of a 12O0-case shipment ad- dressed to H. A. Sadler, in care of the American Distilling company. The liquor was shipped from Louisville and it's seizure was followed by the arrest of Sadler. who was later released on bonds.

 The Democratic candidate empha- sizad- to 16 audiences, that he was for the league with whole heart anu soul"
 Centering his assault upon Senator Harding's league statement, Governor Cox declared it '-vacillating the eleventh position assumed by Senator Harding and at the heels of tenn pest aroused by Mir.

 Referring to today's statement oy Senator Harding, Governor Cox to an audience of several thousand persons tonight on the court house plaza said:
 "The vacillating attitude of Senator Harding justifies neither the Ameri- can people nor the nations of the world in taking him seriously. It is apparent that he hasn't a single deep l seated conviction upon the subject and that he wobbles about one day to the other in the aimless hope that this group or that group of voters can be pleased. It is the most pitiable spectacle in the history of America I can understand why the sentiment of wiggling and wobbling has beer emblazened over the bill boards oi eAmerica with the picture of the sen | ator.
