LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO
BE CALLED BY WILSON
Preparations for the Meeting Are to Be
Taken Up By League Council at
Rome Meeting.

Washington, d. G., May l2.-The
first meeting of the assembly Of the
league OF nations probably will be
called by President Wilson this year.
Preparations for the meeting are to be
taken up by the league council during
its Rome meeting this month. and as il
has been estimated that at least four
months should elapse between the is-
sue Of the call and the actual gathering
of the assembly. the meeting will prob
ably be in the fall.
BY the terms of the league covenant,
the first meeting Of the assembly Is to
be- called by the president of the
United States. The nations entitled
to formal representation in the assem-
bly. as prepared by the league. number
3J and il Is expected the council at
its Rome meeting viii decide 10 notify
these countries that the assembly viii
be- conVoked during 1920 but leave the
date for later determination. In the
meantime the preparatory work neees-
sary Tor the meeting can be carried
out BY the league itself and states par
ticipating can be notified as to what
matters are in sight Tor consideration.
The minimum four-mcnth intervals
between announcement of the meeting
and the meeting itself are deemed
necessary not only to allow time for
selection OF representatives in each
country. but also because these repre-
sentatives shouid have opportunity TO

RULER OF CHICAGO'S
UNDERWORLD SLAIN

Entrance to His Cafe-Wss
Millionaire.

Chicago. Nav l2.-The murder OF
james ("Big JIM Colosimo, propri-
etor Of restaurant famous in Chi.
cagos night life and patron Of music,
to-day remained mystery. He was
killed near the entrance TO his cafe
late yesterday
Among the theories advanced by the
police were that relatives or friends
OF his former wife, recently divorced,
were involved, that he was a "black
hand" victim or that one of his many
eremies, made during his rise from
railroad track laborer TO wealthy po-
litical and tenderloin leader, was re-
sponsible.
The first person to be questioned aft
er the shooting was Mrs. Dale Winter
Cclosimo, his young bride, formerly a
singer in his restaurant. She was at
home when her husband was shot, the
police said.
Colosimo came TO Chicago from Italy
st the age Of Is years. He found en-
ployment in section gangs and later
ran saloon and cafe. He made more
than 81 100000, grew to be the ac-
knowledged ruler OF the south side un-

KEY PRESENTED
SORRY PICTURE.
When Seen By Americans Entering
the City on the Heels of the Polish
Troops--Most of the Stores
Closed for Months.

Kiev. May s. tBy courier TO War.
saw May l1.l--(By the Associated
Press. Americans entering kiev to-
day on the heels OF Polish troops were
struck with the neglected and delapi-
dated appearance of the city. There
was scarcely building intact with the
exception Of a brick store. In resi-
Dental districts, where frame houses
formerly stood. there remain only pro.
trlding foundations. Board after board
had been taken away for firewood dur
ing the winters Of the last few years,
until nothing remains of super-struc
lures.
The streets were covered with dirt
and filth. and in many places neglected
pavements were overgrown with grass.
Even streets in the center of the city
have been unrepaired for several years
and present gaping holes every few
feet.
Nevertheless the cupolas and spires
of its numerous churches still give
kiev its famous sky line, which at
tracted the attention of the advancing
troops long before they reached the
city. Some Of these towers adorn
some of Russia's most ancient places
of worship.
Most of the stores of kiev have been
closed for months, and even years, and
the only shops showing signs OF life are
those selling food and drugs. where lit
tie if anything remains on the shelves.
For ten davs Kiev has been hungrier
than ever before. Peasants refused TO
bring food from near by districts be-
cause of the uncertainty of conditions
in town, the bolsheviki being busy with
the work of withdrawing their forces.
When the Polish and Ukrainian
troops marched into kiev to-day peas.
ants accompanied them TO the edge Of
the town and after the soldiers had
made a formal entry the country peo-
pic swarmed the markets. Late this
afternoon hungry housewives were buy
ing food, of which there was a plentiful
supply, and the tired Polish soldiers
were also replenishing their stocks of
food

BEGINNING PROPOSED
FOR "ONE BIG UNION."
Amalgamated Clothing Workers ct
America Have Proposed to Unite
With Amalgamated Textile
Workers of America.

Boston, May 1.-THE committee on
resolutions of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers Of America, in convention
here, to-day had under consideration a
proposal that their organization unite
with the Amalgamated Textile Work.
ers Of America. The proposal was
made by A. j. Music, general secretary
OF the textile workers, who addressed
the convention and urged IA consolida-
tion, to be followed by general ex-
pansion of the organization to include
workers of every textile and clothing
trade in zone big union
The suggestion of Mr.. Music, a
clergyman, who was prominent In be-
half of the striking textile workers
at Lawrence, year ago, was received
enthusiastically by the convention. He
said the proposed merger had the ap-
proval of affiliated trades throughout
the country and would have their sup
port ii carried into effect.
The support of the clothing workers
was needed, Mr. Music said, to effec-
lively organize one million textile
workers in this country. "The textile
industry, he added, ranks first IN
America in the number of its EN-.
ployes. 1t is second in the amount of
money invested in it and the wealth
that it produces, but il ranks lowest in
the wages that it pays and the condi-
tions it provides for its workers.
Joseph Schlossberg, general secre-
tary of the clothing workers, in giving
the annual report of the general exec
utive board, reported that the organi-
zation always had stood for one inter
national organization Of all workers n
the needle trades. He said that United
Cloth Hat and Cap Makers of North
America had endorsed the idea and
that the International Ladies' Garment
Workers union is now considering it
in convention in Chicago.

MIGHTY BLOW STRUCK
AGAINST RUSSIANS
Polish and Ukrainian Forces Have
Driven the Enemy Back Along
the Beresina River and
Have Captured Bet
chitsa.

Warsaw, May II (By the Associated
Press Polish and Urakinian forces
have struck mighty blow at the Rus
sian bolshevik front far north of kiey,
and have driven the enemy back along
er river crossing, has been captured and
serious losses have been inflicted on
the soviet army. Fighting is now 60
ing on over a front OF 420 miles.
Necessity of Strengthening the Pol
ish line after the capture of kiev led
to the new offensive, which extends
from almost directly west OF Vitebsk
to below Kiev on the Dnieper. Polish
forces have crossed the Beresina river
at several points and have taken Vie
latisch, after heavy fighting.
Northeast of Mozir the bolsheviki
have been forced across the Dnieper.
Attempts were made by the bolsheviki
to destroy the railroad bridge at Bel
chitsa. but Polish units prevented this
and captured large number of pris-
oners. Announcement is made that two
soviet regiments were annihilated in
the fighting around this town.
From Kiev northward to the mouth
of the Pripet river, a distance of about
80 miles, the bolsheviki on the west
side Of the Dnieper are slowly falling
back and are building bridges to facili-
tate their escape before the main body
Of the Polish army reaches the stream.
Latest advices indicate the bolshe-
wiki have been driven back out of the
Kiev bridgehead. Before this retire
ment was forced, heavy artillery fire
was maintained on kiev, often taking
the form of a barrage. intended, ap-
parently, to prevent the Poles and
Ukrainians from bringing up reinforce
ments and supplies.
Terror prevailed among the people IN
the city during the bombardment, the
sound of shells passing overhead to-
ward the roads leading into Kiev from
the west causing CONSERVATION when
shells were not bursting in the city
streets.
Capture OF Odessa. the most impor-
tant Russian port on the Black sea. Is
reported. Official ladvices on the taking
Of the city have. not as yet been re-
ceived., the communiques dealing with

OTHER REBEL FORCES
TO PREVENT ESCAPE
American Consul at Vera
Cruz Says U. S. War
ships Aren't Needed

Vera Cruz, May ll.--President Car
ranzas army of 1000 men, virtually
surrounded by rebel forces commanded
by Generals Hill and Trevino, is max
ing a determined stand in strong po-
sition it has taken up between San
Marcos, Puebla, and the village of Hua
manila, 10 miles northwest, in the state
of Tlaxcala, according to advices re-
ceived here. The struggle went on all
day oday. and according to the latest
report the Carranza forces had not
been dislodged.
Rebel reinforcements under command
of General Porras have been ordered up
from Cordoba, and have taken up posi-
tions al San Andres and Chalehicamula
southeast of the scene of to-day's bat
tie, probably for the purpose OF pre-
venting the escape of Carranza, should
he succeed in breaking through the
lines thrown around him. Reports state
the Carranza forces are entrenched
along the Mexican National railroad.
General Candido Aguilar, son-in law
of President Carranza and governor of
the state of Vera Cruz, has abandoned
all chance of escape from the country
in an effort to join his superior and
share in his fate, says dispatch TO
III Dictamen.
Emissaries from General Aguilar con
ferred with General Sanchez chief of
staff and asked that their commander
be permitted TO pass through the rebel
lines toward San Marcos. This request
was granted, but it was stipulated
General Aguilsr must be accompanied
only by his general staff and civilians,
all OF his soldiers being barred.
Paul H. Foster, American consul here,
has reported to the state department
in Washington that conditions are re-
turning to normal. that the lives and
property OF foreigners have not been
molested, and that there is no cause for
retaining United States wsrships in
Mexican waters, where they may cause
friction.
Felix Diaz, leader of a rebel group
in the state of Vera Cruz. has asked
permission to leave the country, prom
ising he will take no further part in
political movements in Mexico. II is
probable his request viii be granted.
