FEDERAL OFFICIALS
TO WAGE CAMPAIGN
ON NIGHT RIDERS
Burning of More Gins and Com
presses in Texas and Ar
kansas Reported.
tBy Associated Press.)

The federal authorities have taken
cognizance of the activities of night
riders in the south, who are waging
a campaign to keep cotton off the
market until cotton reaches a price
of forty cents pound by threaten
ing to destroy gins whose owners ig-
more warnings to stop operations.
The department of justice last
night announced its agents in the af-
fected areas had been instructed to
investigate instances where federal
laws relating to interference with
shipments in interstate commerce
might have been violated. Depart
ment of justice agents have been in
vestigating the destruction of a COM
press and warehouses at Cameron.
Texas, Sunday morning. with a loss
estimated at $1,000,00O, according to
A. G.. Nossett. owner of the property
who returned to Waco last night from
Cameron.
The burning of two more gins in
Texas was reported yesterday and
last night. One, at Pursley was de-
stroyed Tuesday night with a loss
placed at $4,000, while the other, at
Branchville, near Cameron. was
burned Monday night with a loss of
approximately $4,000. Both fires
are believed to have. been of incen-
diary origin.
Flames were discovered at the Fort
Smith. Ark, compress last night. 1t
was the third fire in a period of two
weeks at this plant, but there was
nothing to indicate a wilful attempt
at its destruction.
The posting of warnings on gins in
Arkansas is continuing, operators at
Lavaca, near Fort Smith, last night
discovering placards on their plants
with this inscriptions:
Don't start this gin until sixty
days If the wheels turn you know the
results unless the price gets right"
Guards were placed about the gins
and the owners were to confer today
with farmers to determine what course
to pursue.
Several additional gins in Morgan
county, Alabama, were idle yesterday
after the receipt of warnings to dis
continue ginning. Up to a late hour
last night there had been no reports
of the receipt of further warnings by
ginners in Georgia and Suoht Caro-
lima.

BIG BUSINESS IS
. FLAYED BY COX
In Illinois and Indiana Speeches
Harding Credited With
Wiggling and WObbling.
fey Associated Press.l

Lafayette, Ind, Oct. i2.-Governor
Cox of Ohio. in busy tour today of
Illinois and Indiana, hammered heav-
lily upon the league of nations pro-
nouncements of himself and Senator
Harding, picturing his Republican op-
ponent as ''wiggling and wobbling."
The Democpa'tic candidate empha-
sized, to i6 audiences that he was for
the league with whole heart and
soul.'
Centering his assault upon Senator
Hardings statement today, Governor
Cox declared ''it vacillating," the
eleventh position assumed by the SEN
ator and at the heels of a tempest"
aroused by Mr.. Harding's Des Moines
speech. That the senator's proposal
for new association of nations was
held by former President Taft to be
impracticable also was stressed by the
Democratic.
Referring to today's statement by
Senator Harding, Governor Cox to an
audience of several thousand per-
sons here tonight on the court house
piazza closing his strenuous day Of
league preachments said:
sThe vacillating attitude Of Senator
Harding justifies neither the American
people nor the nations Of the world
in taking him seriously.
"It is apparent that he has not sin
gle deep seated conviction upon the
subject and that he wobbles about
from one day to the other in the aim
less hope that this group or that
group of voters can be pleased. 1t is
the most Atiable spectacle in the poll
tical history of America. l can under
stand why the sentiment of wiggling
and wobbling has been emblazoned
over the billboards of America with the
picture of the senator. The candidate
Of the senatorial oligarchy has a
monopoly on that process and he
ought to be privileged to advertise it,"
Although the governor confined his
long string of speeches today prin-
cfpally to the league. he repeated
charges of conspiracy of silence by
the reactionary press" against the
Democratic campaign.
"Big business" was also flayed as
foe.
Religious tone to the governors
league plea increased and presenting
what he termed practical business
reasons, he declared that "if we don't
go into the league / look for con-
stantly increasing trend toward a
business recession" The league is
necessary, he argued. to restore for
eign CREDIT and purchasing power. He
expressed the belief that America
would be in the league within a few
months and that no large nation would
be outside within a year or possibly
six months.

WASHINGTON IS
FEARING RESULT
Anarchy and Chaos May Follow
End of Bolshevik Regime
in Russia.
zEMsTEvOs AY AC T
Russian Local Governing Bodies
May Hold Some Semblance
of Peace and Order.
(sy Associated Press.)

Washington Oct. 12.-Signs OF the
approaching collapse Of bolshevlsm in
Russia are seen by state department
officials in the crumbling of soviet
authority on the Polish front and the
rapidly augmenting strength Of anti
bolsheviki forces in Southeastern Eu-
rope, under General Wrangel.
Already consideration is being given
at the department. it was said today, TO
what may follow the end Of soviet rule
in Russia. The prospect of anarchy
and chaos in the event of soviet dis
solution is very real, according to Of
flcials, but the belief was expressed
that the local zemstevos have been so
well organized as to maintain a SEM
bIance of order and some cohesion OF
economic life until stable govern
ment capable OF obtaining the adher-
ence of the majority of the Russian
population shall arise.
The situation In Persia, where for a
time Bolshevism threatened to dis
rupt the country, recently has cleared
satisfactorily, according to reports re-
ceived by the department. The league
az bolsheyism with the Turkish nat'on-
alists also is regarded as having been
irretrievably weakened with the roul
Of Mustapha KENNEL and his follow
erS.
Most significant Of the wane OF soviet
influence in Europe, according TO Of
flcials. was the rejection OF boishevikl
oyertures by Switzerland which is
situated so as to be able to form an
accurate opinion of the character and
future of the soviet regime. lt IS now
also known that somewhat carrier
RIImania rejected oyertures of the So
Wet government. 1t was said
The Judgment Of socialists upon tne
soyelt government was expected TO De
registered with particular emphasis at
the meeting Of the German soclailsts

German socialist party Is expected 10
Withdraw from the convention on the
issue of adherence to the Moscow third
internationale. The right WINS In
cludes the great majority OF sociaiists
in Germany and may be considered IN
ihe opinion of officials. as representa-
tive of the growing attitude OF dis
irust OF socialists generally in Europe
toward bolshevism.

champions Of the world! The Cleve-
land American League club won that
supreme title here this afternoon when
the Indians defeated the, Brooklyn Ma
tionals in the seventh and deciding
game of the 1920 series by a score
of to 0.
Tonight Cleveland is celebrating in
a manner adequately in keeping with
the honor and ii is doubtful if q gov
ernment proclamation announcing the
selection of this city as the future
capital of the United States would Gre
ate a ripple of interest among the
frenzied fans.
The shut out victory was chiefly
engineered by Stanley Coveleskie, the
spit-b ball hurler OF the local team who
has proved to be a pitcher of remark
able skill and endurance during the
series. Backed by an air-tight de-
fense on the part of his team mates
at the critical moments of the game,
the Shamokin Pa coal miner let the
Robins down with i've hits.
But two Brooklyn players reached
second base during their nine sessions
at bat and but five of the invaders
were left on the bases all told
Coveleskie's feat in winning three
of the five games necessary to clinch
the championship for Cleveland will
go down as one of the outstanding
features of worlds series history and
one of the most prominent and praise

GROWERS FACE
HEayY LOSSES
s~~ .iEa to Appeal Directly
10 PRESIDENT Against De-
flation Policy.
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Oct 12.-Steps to ap-
peal directly to President Wilson
against the currency relation policy
of the treasury department on the
ground that farmers generally face
heavy losses unless the downward
trend of prices OF farm products was
checked, were taken here today by a
special meeting of agricultural inter
.ests' called by the American Gotten
association.
Senators Overman, of North Caro-
lima, and Harris of Georgia, who are
connected with the movement, called
at the White House to prefer re-
quest for the conference with Mr.. wit
son and his cabinet. and were told 10y
Secretary Tumulty that they would re-
ceive an answer from the president to-
morrow morning.
The senators laid stress upon the
necessity of prompt action, as the reg
ular fall conference of the federal re-
serve board and governors of the vari-
Gus reserve banks also is scheduled for
tomorrow. The question of interest
rates, it was said, would be considered
at that conference, and the agricultur-
al representatives gathered here de-
clared they wished to present their
views on the whole question OF crop
financing before action was taken by
the federal authorities.
Speakers at the meeting before
adoption of the resolution proposing to
take the problem to the president per-
sonally, repeatedly denounced the de-
flation policy Of Secretary Houston.
Farmers stood to lose billions unless
the government acted to check the fall

The head of the soviet deleg fix -
scribed the Riga peace as "a q ice

signing of the treaty. That dsseribes
the Riga agreement accurately as it
appeared to disinterested onlooGers. 1t
was a peace Of give and take which
those who have followed the course
of events fear will not be very popu-
lar either with the bolsheyiki or the
Poles.
But it is undoubtedly a triumph for
the two chairmen who made it and
the spirit of conciliation with which
they handled the explosive questions
that disrupted the Minsk conference
is likely to win for them the gratitude
of a war exhausted world.
The Riga armistice will put the
bolsheviki at peace with all their Bal

operation against the soviets.
