HARDING VIEWS
ANENT RUSSIA
ARE UNKNOWN
No Inkling of New Admins
tration's Intended Policy
Given Out.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The Hard
ting Administration is two weeks old TO-
day, but as yet there have been no hints
forthcoming from the White House or
sources close to it as to the policy to be
pursued by the new Administration with
regard to Russia.
Conclusion of a trade agreement be-
tween Great Britain and soviet Russia
has failed to produce a ripple on official
Washington so far as outward appear
ances go. So far as can be learned Presi-
dent Harding has not discussed the Rus
sian question with any of his hundreds
of callers, and If he has take up the
question secretly with his Cabinet that
fact has been closely guarded.
Secretary of State Hughes has been
equally uncommunicative concerning Rus
STA. Secretary Of Commerce Hoover,
busy with plans for expansion of Ameri-
can trade and widening the activities Of
his department, also is silent concerning
Russia. 1t is expected that when the Adj
ministration finally gets around to con-
sideraton of a Russia policy Secretary
Hoover will be the Presidents chief ad-
wiser because of his familiarity with Eu-
ropean conditions and trade matters.
Presiden. Harding is understood to feel
there is no immediate need for haste in
formulating a Russia policy. The feel
ing inside soviet Russia is so unstable
and the reports coming out so conflict
ing that the new Administration feels
that the longer definite policy is de
ferred the more clarified the whole situA-
ton will be when the job is finally
tackled.
The Bureau of Russian Affairs of the
State Department is doing little except
x4~bJ oh oh 10
vious channels from Baltic sources, and
scan press reports.
Considerable pressure is being brought
to bear from labor sources for a resump-
ton of trade relations with the Moscow
government. Certain groups OF American
labor have taken a leaf from the Brit
ish labor movement and are urging that
Russia viii provide a constant outlet for
American goods. Several Senators hold
similar views, but to date their repre-
sensations have been pigeon holed for flu
ture reference.
While the White House and State De-
partment are maintaining policy of In
activity in the Russian situation, 1t de-
veloped today that American business
men are growing anxious over commercial
prospects.
SO many representations have been
made to the department or commerce,
that 1t was announced today the depart
ment had decided to establish at Riga a
bureau Of information" which will sup
ply to American business through the
Department OF Commerce, regular re
ports concerning trade conditions
throughout the Baltic states and IN Rus
STA proper.
The bureau will collect and forward
data on trade activities in Finland, Es-
tonia and Lithuania.

Mrs. Joseph Healing termed were the
most diseased breeding conditions"
The fact remains that as late as Feb.
p the beds for the women IN the Jail
were mot fit for human beings" to sleep
on, according to Mrs. Healing, who is
president Of the county board of chart
ties.
The facts show that after months of
delay new steel cell fronts and a new
locking system is being installed.
The facts show that the contract for
the plumbing is to be let March % but
no one knows where the money is com
ing from.
After nearly two hours was spent in
talking on the part Of Mr.. Shank and
others, the thought came to Commits
sioner Shank that the thing to do was
to convert the now abandoned power
house near the Jail into a woman's ward.
Judge Collins declared that out of the
many suggestions" made at the con-
terence, the one of Mr.. Shank would
probably bear the most fruit"
FAIL TO CARRY
OUT OTHER PLANS.
That the very same recommendation
was made in cold type BY DR.. Wright, an
expert Of New York City, months ago, and
not a single official step was made by the
county commissioners to carry 1t out, was
not shown.
All investigating forces, and there were
many present, admitted that Sheriff
Snider has made marked improvement
~ 80
Former Sheriff Robert Miller, who was
known as silent Bob among newspaper
men when he was sheriff because he sell
dom talked, startled everybody when
called to the stand, by sternly telling the
county commissioners that the plans and
Specifications adopted by the commission
ers were not In accordance with those
recommended by DR.. Wright, the expert.
The plans you have now do not take
out the wall which DR.. Wright recon-
mended be taken OUT said Mr.. Miller
to Commissioner Shank.
That has nothing to do with this in
Yestigation," replied Shank.
Miller said that it was a disgrace to
have insane prisoners at the Jail.
Judge Collins first advocated that the
old power house be turned into a hos
pital for temporarily holding insane pris-
oners.
Amos W. Butler Of the State board of
charities took the position that no place
connected with the jail was the proper
place for insane people.
Mr.. Butler In a reply to a question
of the court. stated that a ward at the
city hospital could be fitted up for the
insane patients or a cottage built at
Julietta.
The second that Mr.. Fesler accepted
the sheriff had the custody of people
held pending a sanity hearing and also
those held pending removal to the State
Hospital for the Insane.
"It isn't the law said Mr.. Butler
THE law provides that the county clerk
Is the custodian of the insane and that
he may place them in the Jail II he has
no other place"
And the clerk hasn't any other place"
said the court. They go to Jail. 1t is
camoufiage. They go to jail
Two things have resulted from this
meeting.
The hrst-the admission by Judge
Collins that County Auditor Fesler is
the watchdog of the treasury"
The seldom. that Mr.. Fesler accepted
the honor.

DECIDE TO FIX
NEW PRECINCT
LINES IN CITY
Lemaux and Ashby Plan
Ordinance to Follow COun-
ty Boundaries.
MUST ACT BY APRIL 2

Irving W. Lemaux, Republican city
chairman, and Samuel Ashby. corporation
counsel, announced today that an ordi-
nance changing the boundaries Of city
precincts so that they will conform "as
nearly as possible" to the boundaries
Of county precincts as fixed by the
county commissioners a year ago, will
be presented TO the city council as soon
as 1t can be prepared.
Because of the necessity Of gathering
snd considering a great deal of data on
ihe voting strength and territory includ-
I'D in each precinct it may be impossible
to have the ordinance prepared In time
for introduction Monday evening, the
regular council meeting night, Mr.. Ashby
said In this event the bill will be put
before the council at a special meeting
as soon as it is completed.
HOLDS S0-DAY
NOTICE REQUIRED.
Mr. Ashby has submitted an opinion
70 Russell Wilson, president OF the coun-
ell, holding that the council has power
70 change the boundaries If the ordinance
IS passed and published not later than
thirty days preceding the primary cleo
ton. As the primary will be held May
the last day for publication of the ordi-
nance will be April 2.
Mr. Ashby also held that the law pro-
vides the city boundaries shall coincide
as nearly as possible with the county
precinct boundaries. The present city
boundaries were established in 1917 and
the county commissioners changed the
county boundaries in 1918 and in 1920.
Thera are al city precincts and 154
county precincts inside the city limits
at present
SAYS MANY WOULD
BE DISFRANCHISED.
1t was further held that territory which
has been annexed to the city within the
last four years must be assigned to city
precincts by action of the city council
or the citizens therein have no right to
vote in the municipal election. A great
deal of such territory has been taken in,
the corporation counsel said, and it is
chiefly to keep from disfranchising the
persons residing therein that the boun-
dairy changes are sought.
A law passed in 1920, Mr.. Ashby held,
provides that where Australian ballots
are used there shall be not more than 500
voters to the precinct; where machines
are used, not more than 1000, and where
both machines and ballots are used, not
more than 1900. Since primary ballots,
which are not Australian ballots, are used
In the primary elections. Mr.. Ashby said
he does not believe 1t will be necessary to
change the precincts so that there will
be not more than 500 votes in each, for
the present, although this might be
necessary before the election next fall
I'VE do not intend to change a single
precinct that is not necessary" said Nj.
Ashby.
I'VE are going to make Just a sufficient
amount of changes to take care of the
vote at the very least possible expense
to the taxpayers" said Mr.. Lemaux-
The city legal department. with the
assistance Of the city civil engineering
department, will prepare the ordinance,
Mr. Ashby said.
