MOSCOW QUIET,
LONDON REPORT
Situation at Petrograd
Obscure; Peasants
Feared.

| London, March 10.-(By The As
sociated Press l-Aften ten days of
conflicting reports regarding events in
Russia, information received in Brit
ish official circles Thursday are be-
lieved to give something Of q true pic
ture of conditions there.
1t is stated that the anti-bolsheviki
risings in Moscow, which were more in
the nature of trade unionist strikes
than military operations. have been
liquidated and that the communists are
continuing their rule. The belief is
expressed however, that settlement Of
the trouble was by force.
Fortresses Hold Out.
The situation in Petrograd remains
obscure, official circles limiting defin-
ite statements to the fact that KrOn-
stadt and several fortresses on the
south shore ii the Gulf of Finland are
holding out against the bolsheviki. The
first information concerning the exact
nature of the kronstadt revolt is re-
ported to have been received in Fin
land in q newspaper published by the
kronstadt revolutionists.
In this paper it is stated that no
attempts are being made to re-estab-
lish anything approaching the czarist
regime or even to overthrow the soviet
system, but that the revolt is against
what is termed the military dictator
ship of Lenine and Trotzky, by which
the people have been robbed Of the
benefits of the Russian revolution.
Petrchenko Anti-Leader.
This newspaper disclaims the lead
ership Of General Kozlovski and names
NJ. Petrchenko as the leading member
of the revolutionists.
The greatest Importance is being
attached here to Wednesdays official
bolsheviki wireless dispatch admitting
that communication between Moscow
and Siberia had been cut off for a fort
night and indicating that the smould-
ering opposition of the peasants was
becoming active. The belief was ex-
pressed here Thursday that peasant |
uprisings would be more dangerous to
the bolshevik regime than active mill
tary opposition from an isolated fort
ress, such as Kronstadt, where, if i'm
mediate success did not attend the |
mutineers the result would be star
yation and ultimate surrender, while |
no such success could be hoped for in |
a bolshevk campaign against the rural
population.

DRASTIC WAGE

-GOMPERS

Cambridge, Mass, March 1O-Sam-
uel Gompers Thursday night voiced
organized labor's opposition to wage
reductions and the open shop move
ment.
Addressing the Student Liberal club
at Harvard university, the president of
the American Federation of Labor
warned the enemies of rational labor
unionism" against driving hard the
bargain Of wage revision; said that
labor regarded aspirations as guar
antee under the examination and inter-
preted that in terms Of 1--WE want
more" and added that the "men Of la
Dor having fought to protect the coun-
try and themselves against political
autocracy were not now going to sub
nit to an industrial autocracy"
He said that the time was one to
try mems souls and what with the
cutting Of wages and profiteering still
going on the pirates Of finance and of
business have much to answer for"
Il have lived to see many industrial
depressions and panics, so called" said
the 71-year-old labor leader. Il have
seen the pendulum swing both ways,
through depressions and revivals as
well. l want to say in all earnestness
that it will not do. it BODIES no good.
for the enemies of bona fide rational
labor unionism of America to drive the
bargain too hard. The men Of labor
are in earnest in this movement of
ours. They are determined to see to it
that as a result of their labor and ser
vices, they are going to be regarded as
sovereign citizens and obtain their
guaranteed rights"

Jurors to Visit Scene.
Upon adjournment of court after the
twelve jurors had been sworn, by un-
animous agreement of defense and
prosecution, the jury was directed to

Smith Hamon for several years occu-
pied adjoining rooms, and in which
Hamon was shot fatally. The defense
stipulated that the furniture and fur
nishings of the suite had been placed
as nearly as possible in the same or

Hamon was shot with the notation that

Dsath-Bed Statement.
:, Thursday in circles close to the pros
'ecution it was said the state n all
probability would make an effort to
show that Jake f. Hamon was not shot
in Clara lannon's room but that he was
in his own room, probably lying upon
his bed when the fatal shot was fired.
There also was much talk of death

mon was shot without provocation in
the nature of physical attack upon

general of Oklahoma and IN charge Of

JURISDICTION OF LEAGUE
IN PANAMA. COSTA RIGA
ROWPUZZLES AMERICANS

Washington, March 1O.-Refusal of
Panama to accept the White terri
torial award as basis of peace with
Costa Rica and appeal by Panama
to the League of Nations for settle
ment of the dispute is expected by
some officials here to place before the
American government the necessity Of
defining for the first time its attitude
toward the jurisdiction of the League
of Nations in disputes on the American
continent.
Although lacking official confirma-
ton of the appeal of Panama to the
League OF Nations, officials evidenced
interest in press dispatch from
Geneva stating that the text OF such
an appeal had been received by the
secretary of the League OF Nations
theer. The dispatch indicated that
the League of Nations council might
give attention to settlement of the
conflict and in that connection it was
pointed out here that both Panama
and Costa Rica are members OF the
league, the latter having been elected
to membership at the meeting OF the
League assembly.
Diplomats In 0uandary
Diplomaticecirclesh here profess to be
frankly puzzled as to the possible at
titude which the United States as a
non-member of the League might as
sumo with reference to any attempt
BY the League to settle purely Amer
lean dispute.
Some officials of the government
have stated in the past that the prof
fer by the league Of its good offices
IN settling dispute on the American
continent could in no wise be inter-
preted as an infringement Of the Mon
roe doctrine ,inasmuch as numerous
in South American forms
erly have been arbitrated by European
and heads Of states.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1921-03-11

The proposed agreement had to do
with limiting testimony to occurrences
after 1913 in the lives of Hamon and
the defendant. S. P. Freezing, state
attorney general in charge Of the prose-
cuticn, said regarding the conference
that he would make no further COM
ment. Previously 1t had been said that
unless the testimony was limited the
case might string out over a long period
and develop sensational turn.
Record Jury EmpaneiIed.
Five hours and fifty minutes actual
court time and examination of 40
veniremen. were sufficient to obtain
jury for the trial.
Clara Hamon neatly attired in blue
tailored suit. interestedly watched the
selecting of the II men who will de-
termine whether she fired the shot
which resulted in the death of Mr..
Hamon. From time to time she took a
small note book from her skirt pocket
and made notations in it.
Whispered Conferences.
She held numerous whispered con
ferences with her attorneys as vealire-
men were examined. She was half
turned around in her chair talking over
her shoulder when Mrs. Jake l.. Ham
on, widow of the man she is charged
with killing entered with her father,
49, year old son, Jake l.. Jr.. and IL
year-old daughter. Olive Belle. Mrs.
Jake Hamon had taken seat directly
opposite Clara Hamon at the same
table when the younger woman turned
again toward the jury box and saw the
widow and children. Clara lannon's
face did not betray any recognition or
show surprise. Although the two wom-
en- were seated within 30 inches Of each
other. at no time during the two hours
Mrs. Jake L. Hamon was in the court !
room did their glances meet.
Because of the arrangement of the !
table, Mrs Hamon. the widow, sat |
with her left side toward Clara who |
faced straight ahead.
Widow Ia Weeds.
Mrs. Jake Hamon was clad in full |
morning and occasionally touched a
to her eyes. Her aged
father sat in front of her and appar-
entity took no notice of the courtroom

It is understood, however. that the
Panama note is not regarded by the

Panama's Position.
- "My government authorizes me to
state to your excellency that it has
given instructions already to our mil
tary forces that they retire from Coto;
but our civil and police authorities will
remain there as before the Costa Rican
aggression Of the twenty-first of last
month; and that this act of Panama,
inspired in the desire Of putting an end
to the armed conflict which has been
imposed upon it against its will should
not be interpreted in any case as an
implied recognition of the White
