BROAD POWERS FOR
RELIEF COMMITTEE

LONDON, July 30.-Sixty-three Rus
slams of all classes have been appointed
4 famine relief committee with wide pow
ers, according to a wireless dispatch from
Moscow today.
NJ. Kamenef is presiding officer of the
new body.
The committee is confronted with the
staggering task of getting supplies to
ten provinces where 1000, 900 tons of food
is needed.
Hundreds of sufferers have died In
Russia of hunger, according % unofficial
reports. The famine committee started
work by moving food into the stricken
districts by rail and moving thousands
of persons out of those areas on the
same trains on their return journeys.
The committee is empowered to seize
foodstuffs wherever found and divert
trains in any direction.
Famine reports are exaggerated ac-
cOrding to the newspaper Pravda. An
editorial in this paper sent broadcast
from Moscow by wireless said:
There is 10 such catastrophe as the
anti-soviet .yress in foreign countries
would wish to see. The poor harvest IN
the Volga district is compensated for by
the splendid one in the Ukraine. The
situation is difficult, but there is no panic.
There have been no pOgroms. There are
no Jews in the famine districts"

Company Fails So Far to Get

latiOn Through.

An order continuing in force the
present street car fare of cents
with 2 cents for transfer was issued
by the public service commission to
day. The order will remain in force
indefinitely and will have the effect
of putting the next move in the case
up to the city council.
In making the order the commission
did not take into consideration the peti
ti0n Of the indianapolis Street Railway
Company flied yesterday to raise the
rates to an Scent fare and a ? cent trans
fer. In speaking Of this phase Of the
question Commissioner John McCardle
who conducted the hearing said:

ton that could be obtained only by ar
exhaustive study and a complete audit o.

reasons we did not take into consider

street car company that II the company
is to be compelled 10 remai n In business

MINTON NAMED
AS CHIEF DRY
AID FOR MORGAN
State Prohibition Department
Now Attacked as News
Machine

Indiana citizens of wet tendencies, who
have been hoping for some relief from
the Sahara dryness Of Federal prohibi-
ton under the regime Of Bert Morgan,
director Of prohibition for Indiana, re
ceiyed severe jolt today when Mr.. Nor
gan announced the appointment Of r. c.
Minton, sixteen years attorney for the
Anti Saloon League Of Indiana, as as
sistant and legal advisor to the director.
Mr.. Minton's long, hard fight against
the liquor forces is no recommendation
for him among the vets. and as a re
suit there is gloom in their camp.
Mr. Morgan also said today that he
had recommended five field agents To
the department at Washington for ap-
poiutment, with the request that their
appointments be confirmed by Aug. !.
However to date this has not been done,
but he expects to put some Of the men
to work Monday, even if no confirmation
of the appointments is received. He Will
not make the names public until they
have been confirmed by the department
at Washington
It Is generally believed that all five are
men of strong leauings toward Senator
New in the rl,e for the senatorial nomi-
natlon at the primaries next spring. In
fact supporters Of Albert J. Beyeridge
are becoming very bitter and frankly
say that the prohibition endorsement de
partment in Indiana should be more
properly designated as the New for
senator machine II is understood that
Mr. Morgan and Senator New were In
conference this afternoon regarding fur
ther appointment TO positions In the pro
hibitiOn department.

WASHINGTON HAS
RECEIVED NO WORD

WASHINGTON, July S0.-Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover has not received any
definite reply from Russia with regard
to the conditions laid down by the Ameri-
can Relief Society as essential before re-
lief work is undertaken in Russia, he
said today.

thorities have agreed TO release American

patches received here. Secretary Hoover

received thus far is a wireless from Maxim
Gorky stating detailed answer 70 his

ceipt Of official notification Of acceptance
of the terms laid down by Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover, it was said and there
probably Will be no definite steps taken
until the Americans now held in Russia
have actually been released.
1t was pointed out that in order that re-
lief work may be carried satisfactorily out
in Russia the American Relief Society
must have assurances that other condi-
tions laid down by Secretary Hoover will
be complied with. For the actual admin
istration of relief work these conditions are
most essential, it was said, for they pro
vide that the RELIEF society must De given
adequate transportation facilities. As
surances also are demanded for the safety
of the relief workers and noninterfer
ence with their work The relief society
also demands the exclusive right of de
termining where the relief work shall be
done and to whom relief nations shall be
issued.
As soon as Russia has made satisfactory
reply, the executive board of the relief
society will determine how much of an
appropriation shall be made for Russian
relief work, workers will be recruited
and ships will be loaded with food sup
plies for Russia Relief workers now in
