laundering point when the Senate ad-
journed tonight until Monday.

late today and agreed next week TO
endeavor again to secure an agree
ment for vote and, If unsuccessful,

tain of defeat was stated privately by
Republican managers, who said that
in event of failure they would be COM
PEELED to lay aside the tariff measure
in favor of other pressing business.
Such a course, they conceded. proba-
bly, would mean it's defeat, which the;

Fast Quarters Made
On Shawmut Speedway

Some fine ice racing took place at
Shawmut Saturday afternoon, several
good steppers from Clinton, Fairfield
and Benton being among the horses
that took part. There were no races
by classes but several good brushes
over the quarter-mile straightaway
were pulled off. The sleighing was
ideal, a thin coating of snow over the
ice making the going excellent. All
the drivers rode in sleighs with the
exception of Fred Vigue of Benton,
who was in racing sulky. Hollis
Lewis of Clinton drove his chestnut
pace. Silver Simpson, which showed
quite a bit of speed William Worthen
Of Fairfield was driving his black
mare, Darling Belle. Earl Bessey of
Hinckley drove his pretty little black
mare. Linnie, iitched to a sort of a
homemade affair. but the little lady
had lot Of speed and fine action. Mo-
Hollte was sent over the ice by Charles
Wells OF Clinton, and Dynamite, a good
, looking mule with many good points
about him, was piloted by George
Thorpe.
Among other drivers and horses
were Bert Bachelor Of Clinton with
Audubon Wilkes; Pooler Lewis of
Clinton with a bay trotter. BelIsgare
A. P. Morrill, of Fairfield with Bingen

country of the Russian elements op-
posed to Bolshevism attending the
Paris conference. In q statement to-
day summing up the reports. which
have reached him, Mr.. Sack explains
why the conference is to be regarded
as an event of international import
ance, and incidentally he discloses for
the first time that there is famine
in Russian villages this winter prob
ably no less acute than in China"
Thirteen million people have be-
gun to suffer acute starvation this
January" he said, land seven million
in December of the past year.
On the basis of the data he has
submitted he declares. on behalf of
his associates, that the downfall of
Bolshevism is inevitable. The two
ways which open before Russia after
this event has taken place, he says,
are that Russia will either submerge
into complete anarchy, which means
lengthy political and economic crisis
for all Europe. and the rest of the
world, or she will begin to recuperate
politically and economically, thus
opening the possibility for the entire
world to return to normal politically
and in economic conditions"
'The Importance of the Paris con-
ference" he added, "is in that it lies
the foundation for the unity of the
Russian democratic forces which will
have to replace the BolshevilSi and
lead their country Ito recuperation
and secures for them sympathy and
active cooperation of the entire
democratic world
1T is significant" the statement
says, that for the first time since the
Bolsheviki came into power in No
vember 1917, all the democratic forces
in Russia have united on one plat
form. which is the defense of popular
rule and civil liberties, gained
through the March revolution of
1917 against the Red counter -revolu-
,tion of Bolshevism which DESTROYED
all liberty in Russia and substituted
a new Red autocracy in place of the
recent autocracy Of the Cars rule.
