Soviet Leaders
Call Military
Experts Together
(By Karl Won H. Wiegand)
Universal Service

BERLIN. - Lenine and Trotsky
have summoned leading generals of
the Czarist regime as military ex-
perts to consider the situation
created by the Polish offensive, and
to determine measure "to annilhilate
the Polish invaders as quickly as
possible" according ito a wireless
dispatch from Moscow.
This council of military leaders
of Czarista is presided by General
Bruisioff, who is reported to have
been given sweeping powers.
Among these called are Polivanoff,
the Cars last minister of war,
Werewoski, Balanoff the noted
czarist general and Akmof, one OF
the cars favorites.
The Polish offensive is having the
alistic spirit and making for at least
temporary unity between the Boil
sheviki and the nationalists. This is
to some degree by the
fact that much less emphasis is be-
ing placed on the word "soviet"
which is more and more frequently
replaced by the word Russian"

HARD TO ASSESS
! SERVICES OF WIFE
London Judge Finds 1t
Difficult to Settle
Claims

LONDON.-'I confess when ap-
preaching a case for damages when
the claim rests to a great extent on
the position of wife as a servant |
conceive a great distaste to the task
of assessing damages"
This statement was made by JUS
tice McCardle in the divorce court
when husband claimed $500 dam
ages against the correspondent.
II can understand husband in a
proper case claiming damages in a
large amount, not merely as solace
to his feelings" said the judge, "but
in order that the magnitude of the
amount may warn others that the
honor of married woman is not
lightly to be tempered with.
I'm the present case the husband
says that he has lost a wife who
formerly managed his house pretty
well, and in particular is good
cook. Now the husband says that he
has to pay another woman 1915 a
week and her food to do the work
his wife did"
The judge said that the least duty
man could render to a life partner
was to bestow on her, if he could af-
ford it, reasonable measure of
amusement, a reasonable measure Of
proper clothing, and a reasonable

Coal shortage now affecting the sup
plying of fuel to state institutions be-
came more acute today when no bids
from local merchants and brokers were
received by the joint purchasing board.
Letters urging the cooperation OF coal
dealers were sent by the Joint purchas-
ing board last Tuesday.
It was the plan Of the board to buy
from the open market each morning fol
lowing the submission of bids daily by
dealers.
Not more than six bids were submitted
to the board on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
From these the purchase Of 81 cars of
coal was affected.
An offer of 20 cars OF coal at se ton
has been refused by the board.
Invitations sent to several Ohio dealers
krom whom the board has previously
made purchases have met with no re-
sponse.
That individual Institutions may pur-
chase coal at a reasonable price to meet
their emergency demands>-Is the recon-
mendation Of the board.

HEARS MOTION IN
MILLER DEFENSE
Sheriff's Attorney Moves to
Qudsh Indictment.

Judge Henry H. Vinton, special Judge
in the case Of Robert f. Miller, Marion
county sheriff, charged with neglect Of
duty, today heard oral arguments on
motion to quash the indlctrsone against
Miller.
Charles s, Wlltsie, attorney for the
defense opened the arguments against
the Indictment returned by the grand
jury, which charged Miller with failure
to perform his duties properly as sheriff
Mr.. Wiltsie laid particular emphasis
upon the constru 'tion Of the law as II
sets forth the du les Of the sheriff, and
he also argued that the whole situation
hinged upon an understanding of what
is meant by proper" food for prisoners.
Proper food for Your Honor might
not be considered proper food for my
self, and proper food for one man might
not at be considered proper food for
another man, and so / hold that when
there is such weak use of that term
proper as is evident IN this Indictment
a case can not be based on it," argued
Mr. Wiltsle
That the general charges of neglect Of
duty, incorporated in the indictment,
based on section of the law indexed un-
der extortion, were indefinite and vague
was set up by the defense
Sheriff Miller is alleged to have fed
the prisoners of the Marion county Jail
improper food, lacking in nourishment
poorly cooked, partly spoiled.
During the argument today Sheriff Mil
Ter sat quietly in the courtroom and
listened to the arguments of his at
torneys

ASSEMBLY WILL
MEET MONDAYN IN
SPECIAL SESSION
Purpose to Make Appropria-
tiOns for Maintenance of
State Institutions.

The Indiana general assembly will
meet in special session at 1880 p. m.
next Monday as a result of an off.
cial call sent out by Gov. Goodrich
last night.
The session, which will be the
second special meeting of the legis
lature during the tumultuous Good
rich administration. has been called
primarily for the purpose of max
ing appropriations for the main
tenance of~state institutions which
were refused at the last regular ses-
sion and which the last special ses-
sion, at the direction of the governor,
refused to consider.
The legislature will, however, be
called upon to correct numerous other
mistakes made by the Goodrich admin
istration and the Goodrich legislature.
An effort will be made by the admin
istratiOn to cut the session as short as
possible, for 1t IS realized that a pro-
longed session at this time WOULD be in
furious 70 republican chances In the next
election and that any session at all is
serious setback.
CALL PROMISED
FOR MANY MONTHS.
This call for the assembly is the one
which has been promised by Gov. Good
rich for months.
The first promise of a special session
came last year. when IL was discovered
that the amount appropriated for the
maintenance of state institutions was not
sufficient to maintain these institutions
At that time Gov. Goodrich stated pos
itively that a special session Of the legis-
lature would be called Immediately.
The session was avoided when Ele
Stansbury, attorney general, gave the
governor an opinion to the effect that the
auditor Of state might draw from the
maintenance funds of the following year

NOMINATION

1.-THE democratic nominee was de
cided upon about 2 O'Clock in the morn
ing, all right, but it was out in the open
with more than a thousand persons
men and women-sitting and probably
ten thousand others looking on.
Back in the early days of the pre-
convention, McAdoo was generally re-
garded as strongest of the democratic
candidates.
But he, in common with Cox, refused
to make campaign.
Palmer was the only aspirant to carry
the fight outside his home state.
