MRS. LATTIMER MAY
FACE JURY TO-DAY
Nurse Will Tell of Life With
Mrs. Crawford if Waiver
Is Allowed.

Special Despatch to THE NEw YORK HERALD.
SYRACUSE, March Frank Z. Nal
pass District Attorney, issued to-day
about dozen subpenas sumnoning wit
nesses to appear tomorrow before the
Grand Jury to tell what they know OF
the allege1 maltreatment OF Mrs. Ruth
Crawford at the hands Of her nurse and
cousin. Mrs. Alice T. Lattimer
Whether Mrs. Lattimer will be per-
nlitted to tell her story to the Grand
Jury is not known Her attorney, Err
win G. Nichols, refused TO say he would
allow her to sign a waiver of inmu-
nifty. and it is believed that only under
such waiver would the District Attor-
ney consent 10 have the nurse appear.
Both Mr.. Malpass and Mr.. Nichols re-
fused tonight to discuss the subject.
though they had been in conference
earlier in the day.
1t is barely possible the bedridden
widow may appear at the Grand Jury
investigation II her present physicians
assure the county authorities tomorrow
that she may be brought from her home
to the Court House In closed car with
out prejudice TO her health. She re-
mains in bed. but sits propped up with
pillows. Should she be unable to ap-
pear in person the deposition which she
made for the police will be read to the
Grand Jury.
II il not believed presentation Of the
ease will require more than a single day
unless some of the more important wit
nesses should fail to appear tomorrow.
District Attorney Malpass to-day ques-
toned at great length Mrs. L,iella Shoe
maker. the nurse who relieved Mrs Lat
timer after the latter had gone to Flor
ida. Mrs. Shoemakers deposition, made
during the police inquiry, embodied some
OF the most damaging assertions con-
corning the nurse to whom the aged
widow had made over all that renamed
of her little estate.
Though it is within the province of
the Grand Jury to reserve until its final
report all information concerning its dis
position of the case. the impression pre-
walls here that should the inquiry result
in an exoneration of Mrs. Lattimer an
to that effect will be made
without delay. Many believe the nurse
will be a free woman within forty eight
hours.

BILL IN TO KEEP UP
US. LOAN INQUIRY
Senate Judiciary Committee
Gets Reed to Draft ResOlu-
ton and Offer 1t.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. G., March 2.


Special Despatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD
Investigation of the conduct of foreign
loans by the Treasury Department is TO
be continued in the next session of
Congress by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee This course was agreed on at
Reed was unanimously authorized by
the committee to draft a resolution to
that effect for action by the Senate.
Senator Reed introduced the resolution
in the Senate. 1t had to go over until
tomorrow under the rules, but 1t is
expected to be approved as there seems
to be no opposition to it.
The committee also by unanimous vote
summariy took charge of a truckload OF
photostatic copies Of foreign loan corre-
spondence brought to the committee
room to-day by the Treasury Depart
ment and made the sergeant at arms
OF the Senate the custodian in behalf of
the committee. The copies will not be
returned to the Department until the
committee completes its examination.
These copies did not include those sent
by the Treasury Department to the State
Department for an opinion as TO whether
they could be made public. At the re-
quest OF the committee Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Kelley sent an
assistant 10 the State Department to
bring to the Judiciary Committee, If he
could get them, the papers in the hanos
of the state Department officials.
Senator Reed severely criticised the
Treasury Department for alleged eff
forts to block the investigation Re-
fer.ring TO the action OF Secretary Hous-
ton in sending the correspondence to the
State Department instead OF furnishing
the judiciary Committee with IT. Sena-
tor Reed said: Il think it was done de-
liberately for the purpose of making our
task difficult"
II appeared that copies brought to the
committee to-day had not been segre-
gated so as to separate the essential
from the non essential papers. and OF
this Senator Reed complained most. Mr..
Kelley insisted that the Treasury De-
partment was trying to conceal nothing.

tnittee desired

REvAL, March 2.--The disturbances
in Petrograd have not been suppressed.
Meanwhile telegraphic communication
with the former capital of Russia has
been restored.
THE NEW York HERALD correspond
ent here received an authentic de-
scriptior of the situation direct from
Petrograd this morning. The collapse
of the Bolshevist regime at the pres
ent moment is regarded by competent
observers as impossible, but a series
OF revolts similar to that which has
occurred in Petrograd will, if savagely
suppressed. antagonize all Russian
workmen and will finally cause the
overthrow OF Nikolai Lenine.
Leuine and Zinovieff. Soviet Governor
OF Petrograd. have arrived in Petrograd
and have ordered that four pounds of
meat and an increase in bread be given
to each worker. This means a complete
famine later on.
Martial law has been declared IN Pet
rograd and all bridges and strategic
points are being strongly held by troops
which are faithful to the Soviet Govern
ment.
Hard fighting continues on vasili
Island. The fact that the curfew has
been set for IL o'clock at night Is con-
sidered a grave festure.
The workers are strongly antagonistic
toward the commissaries, and there is a
mutinous feeling in the Soviet army.
Many regiments have been disarmed
men barefooted. and therefore unable to
quit their barracks.
On February 90 Commissary Zorin
was refused hearing by worlmen Of
the La Ferme tobacco factory, who
shouted for bread. Heated meetings were
held daily in the Baltic factory at Pet
rograd. following the closing of that
\ factory. One commissary said the month
4 OF March would decide the fate of the
Soviets. There are IA 900 strikers In
Moscow. including the Government
printers
These meetings at first were peaceful,
4 but the Reds, excited by the news from
/ Petrograd. dispersed them. killing sew
eral. The Reds are patroling the streets
Y OF Moscow and guarding the public
buildings. Sporadic shootings are taking
/ place. Lenine has ordered Siberia and
/ the Caucas asus to send bread.
Esthonia explains that the calling up
\ OF the new classes of soldiers does not
I mean mobilization.

that Petrograd is now in the hands OF
the insurgents, the chief Soviet officials
having been either imprisoned or assas-
snated. including the emissary. Goren.
who vas sent TO Petrograd when the
revolt became serious.
Not only have the extremists been de-
feated IN Petrograd. but serious con-
flcts have broken out within the Soviet
ranks in other northern centres. thou
sands OF armed troops taking up the
anti-Trotzky cause with a view of
marching on Moscow and forcing the
abdlcation OF the Soviet commissaries.
Moscow has ordered the troops on the
Karolytz Isthmus to remain on the
alert for an advance on Petrograd, but
the command is being ignored by the
anti Bolshevist faction, which has de-
cided, on the contrary. to begin opera
tions TO encircle the capital as soon as
the situation is more clearly defined.
In petrograd banners are being car
ried through the streets proclaiming
the end OF the reign of terror and de-
manding the renewal Of pre-war alli-
ances with France and England against
