life with masked burglar discovered
in his home here early yesterday, Fred
erick Ruckert, vice president Of the
White Metal Manufacturing Company,
was shot five times. suffering wounds
from which hospital surgeons believe

two revolvers. one in each hand, and
fired at the manufacturer as he was
pursued about the house. He escaped.
Ruckert planned to leave for Cincin-
natl today and had $500 in cash in
his home. The police think the rob-
berry was attempted by a person who
knew this. The money was not taken.
The burglar entered the house by q
rope ladder lowered from the roof
and was ransacking the place when
Ruckert returned home. They met in
the dining room. The thief opened
fire as Ruckert closed with him. two

Admiral Fletcher
Will Be Called in
Probe Of the Navy

Washington, Jan. 51.-The senate
committee investigating naval deco
rations and Rear Admiral Sims
charges that the Navy department
failed to cooperate fully with the
allies during the war has asked that
Rear Admiral William B. Fletcher,
who was relieved of command of
the American naval patrol in French
waters in October, 1917, be called
before 1t as witness. Admiral
Fletcher now commands the
Hawaiian naval district.
1t IS understood that Admiral
Fletcher is eager to appear before
the. committee and has retained
MAJ. Henry w. Carpenter of Berry,
vile, Va, retired marine corps Of
ihcer, as his counsel. He was re-
lleved of his command by Admiral
sims after the sinking of the trans
port Antilles with loss of 67 lives.
According to Major Carpenter, Ad-
miral Fletcher contends that the
cause of his removal was in no way
due to any neglect on his part.
After Admiral Fletcher had been
succeeded at Brest by Admiral
Henry B. Wilson, now commander
OF the Atlantic fleet, it was stated
officially at the Navy department
'hat Admiral Sims had determined
upon this change in commands be-
fore the Antilles was sunk.

London Receives Extract
From Reds Official Paper
Telling of Disposition Of
Anti.S0viet Leader.

London, Jan. 3l.-The Moscow
wireless service today transmitted
an extract from an article from the
official bolshevik organ, Pravda,
stating:
"Only a few days ago Supreme
Ruler Kolchak was hoisted on his
soldiers bayonets.
There has been considerable un-
certainty as to the recent where
abouts of Admiral Kolchak. He has
been variously reported captured by
the bolsheviki proper west OF
Irkutsk, arrested by social revolu-
tionists and imprisoned at Irkursk,
and as under detention by revolving
troops from his own armies.
1t has been quite definitely es-
tablished, however, that he has not
been a free agent for some weeks,
apparently authentic advices declar-
ing that he was turned over to in
surgent revolutionists by General
Janin, the commander of the
Czechs in Siberia, whom the allies
had asked to protect kolchak. Cen
eral Janin's defenders declare he
was forced to surrender the admiral
or face the annihilation of the
Czech forces.
The last previous report regard
ing Admiral Kolchak was received
through Honolulu on Friday, quot
ing dispatch to a Japanese news
paper there from Toxic to the ef-
feet that Admiral Kolchak was re-
ported to have escaped from the
bolshevlki and to be in hiding in

London, Jan. 3l.-Oficials here
are decidedly skeptical as to the
report received yesterday through
Vienna that Ukrainian bolsheviki
bad captured Odessa. An official
diplomatic dispatch from Odessa.
dated January %, said it was be-
iieyed the bolsheviki would be in
Odessa within seven to 10 days,
judging from the rate of their ad-
vance. Meanwhile General Schil-
ling, in command at Odessa, was
anxious to remove from the city
come $4,000 civilians, but was un-
able to get sufficient transports. The
message left the impression that the
generals plans for the defense of
the city, of which he gave notice
some 10 days ago, were not pro-

LAW IS
DEFENDED BY HARDING

Senator Warren @. Harding OF Ohio
is the first Presidential aspirant to
fight organized labor over the anti
strike clause in the Cummins railroad
bill.
Instead OF reaction, this is a great
step forward, says Senator Harding,
in n letter to Il. J. Miller, secretary
OF the Baltimore & Ohio local union
at Newark, "and there is the highest
American conscience In all that is in
tended. Surely the organized work.
men ask no more than full Justice.
and in this act the Government es-
tablishes the tribunals for the award
of that justice.
'T do not know that this law will
prevent railway strikes, but do
know that II ought to, and think the
great rank and file OF railway work.
ers ought to welcome t."
Senator Harding states that he
favors rational unionisr, hut not
the domination OF organized labor"
