INTEREST TAKEN IN
wilma FOR 700 YRS.
Strategic Point Of Polish Army
Activities a Bone Of Contention

Danzig. Feb. 25.-Vilna, which the
former Russian general, Zellgouski,
recently occupied with troops of the
Polish army, has figured In the aspir4
atoms of Polish expansionists for
nearly 700 years. The free state Of
Danzig is interested in the outcome
OF the cam paign for possession of the
city because it is felt here that Wilma
must be the strategic point upon
which will always hang the issue OF
peace or war. CThe league of nations
decided at its first assembly in Geneva
to send an international force to
Geneva to enable the people of that
city to decide what their nationality
shall be.)
What its possession means to the
Poles is indicated by recounting some
of its turbulent history.
Wilma was founded by Prince God
imin, OF Lithuania, who reigned from
1915 to 1910. and, with Kiev. it
formed an important part of South
ern Russia. Godimin and King Wad-
islaw Of Poland united in war
against the order of German Knights
but it was not until nearly 100 years
later that the two countries estab-
lished q common Reichstag. This was
at Horodlo on the Bug river and here
the rulers of the two lands cooper
ated in deciding all important issues.
There was n complete union of Po-
land and Lithuania in 1869, as far as
all state affairs were concerned and
this continued until the end of the
eighteenth century. Although Lith-
uania was divided into six govern
mental b-divisions in 1895 and was
under the rule of Russia, a writer in
the Danzig Zeitung says, Vilna's SYM
pathies remained with Polapd.
Wilma was occupied by Russian
Red troops in the summer of last
year and twice changed hands during
the Polish Russian campaign this
year. It has been called the capital
Of Lithuania but the writer in the
Danzig Zeitung says the number of
Poles in and around Wilma probably
would decide the issue in Poland's
favor.
In conclusion he believes there is
no question but Poland will seek to

OLD TAX STANDS
Senate Refuses to Change Levy
on Small Incomes.
Big Battle Due When Revision
Bill Comes to Vote.

Washington, Oct 25.-Normal tax
rates of 4 per cent on the first $4,000
of income and s per cent on all over
that amount were approved today by
the senate without a record vote.
These are the rates now in force.
without a record vote the senate
approved the house proposal increas-
ing from $4,000 to $2,5O0 the exemp-
tior to heads of families having net
incomes Of $4,000 a year or less.
Under the bill married men also will
be allowed an additional exemption of
$400 instead of 5000 as at present for
each child.
The committee amendment propos-
ing these rates, which the Democrats
thrice sought to amend yesterday
without success, was approved within
a minute after the senate met. There
was no discussion and the amendment
which Senator Tramwen, Democrat,
Florida promised yesterday would be
offered failed TO materialiZe.
The senate returned today to Its now
bitter fight over the tax revision bill
which Republican leaders planned to
force continuous sessions beginning to-
morrow until the measure is passed
and the Democrats generally opposed
to what they regard as an unpre-
cedented procedure.
If the proposed resolution calling
for continuous sessions is presented to-
morrow as promised by Senator Pen
rose, of Pennsylvania, in charge of the
tax measure, determined fight
against it is expected from the
minority side

Is Prepared for Threatened
Strike, Says President Storey.
VIII Do Best to Operate Trains,
Says Announcement.
new MEN IF NECESSARY
Head of Railroad System Gives
History of Events.
Roads Asked Higher Rates to
Meet Wage Hike, He Says.

The Santa Fe is prepared to face the
problem presented by strike OF the five
big brotherhoods of railway employees
and will do its best to operate it's
trains" according to an announce
ment today by w. B. Storey, president
of the system.
T The announcement is made in the
form of communication to the public
in which Storey "deplores the diff
culties which may confront the public,
the losses that will come to the en-
ployes, and the breaking up of what
the Santa F'e considers the best trans
portation agency in the country" The
three-pa letter concludes with the
statement that: THE Santa Fe is pre-
pared to face the problem, and do its
best again to build up its force-with
new men if necessary"
Goes Into History of Strike.
In the body of his announcement
Storey goes into the history of events
leading UP to the present strike threat.
He refers to the return of the rail-
roads to private ownership over the
opposition of the employees. Coinci-
dent with this was the passag ge of the
national transportation act which gave
to the railway labor board power to
regulate wages and working condi-
commission power to regulate rates.
Hardly had the roads been returned
to private ownership, Storey sets out
when labor made application for and
was granted a % per cent increase
in wages. This was followed by an
for higher rates to meet the increased
payroll. Storey says this application
was granted in part; but the increase
in rates allowed was insufficient, and
many roads found themselves unable
to meet the interest on their obliga-
tions-and in many cases were not
earning enough to pay operating ex-
penses.
Asked Wage Reduction.
Nearly & year later, Storey says, the
roads made application to the rail-
way labor board for a reduction in
wages based on the decline in the cost
/ of living. The reduction asked was
the % per cent allowed employees as
Ian increase tho year before. The labor
Aboard granted an average decrease of
A12 per cent, whereupon railway en-
Rploye unions took a strike vote on
| acceptance of the wage cut"
The decrease was put into effect
and the leaders Of the trainmen and
enginemen asked for a conference
with the roads to discuss abrogation of
| the rate decrease and a promise on
the part of the roads not to ask for
fused to enter into such a conference
on the basis that theElabor board had
/ rendered the decision and as such it
| must be abided by.
Took Strike Vote.
The ibrotherhoods promptly took a
| strike vote. announced an overwhelm-
! ing majority of members in favor of
such action, and when the roads re-
| fused to bind themselves not to ask
| further reductions in wages, called the
| strike to take effect October 80.
| The next move was up to the roads
and Storey's announcement today ex-
presses the decision and confidence OF
the Santa Fe in event the strike threat
| is carried out.

ters. Misses Marguerite, Kathryn,
Frances and Florence, also two sisters
and a mother. in Galesburg, Ill.
The phenomenal success of Frank
Dolan in railroad circles is well known
over the middle western states.
Born in Illinois.
Born in Galesburg, Ill, in 1857, Do
Ian spent his early days on the farm
and in country school. At the age of
IA his father, a flagman on the c..
3. &, O. lines, arranged~With the sta
ition agent at GaIesburg to teach his
young son telegraphy. Frank had ex-
pressed a desire to enter the railroad
ing game and dad" intended to help
him out
So Frank Do1an became a telegra-
pher. After only few weeks of
training in telegraphy, Dolan went to
st. Augustine, where he held the posi-
ton of night operator, his-first regular
railroad job.
Rise Was Rapid.
From that minor position, Dolan's
rise was rapid. At the age of IT he
came to Topeka as train dispatcher
for the Santa Fe. In remarkably
short time he was promoted to chief
train dispatcher. When the line from
Kansas City to Chicago was put in
operation Dolan was transferred to
the Missouri division with hearquar-
ters at Marceline. Mo. and worked
the first trick dispatching trains over
the new division. Chief dispatcher
followed shortly, then train-master
The next advancement came when
DOlan was moved to Newton, Kan.
and a promotion to Chicago as super
intendent of the eastern Missouri
lines came in short order. The lines
east of the Missouri river were con-
sidered the most important on the di-
vision at that time.
On August 1, 1903, Dolan went to
the Colorado & Southern and Fort
Worth & Denver lines. as general su-
perintendent. After two years serv-
ice with this road he resigned and ac-
cepted the general superintendency o1
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
He succeeded ]. o. Crockett as gen
eral manager of the Rock Island.
The funeral will be held at Holy
Name Catholic church at O'CLOCK
Wednesday morning. The body vii

Fewer men are at work at the Re-

yesterday. The Reliance is one of the
two mines where Howat maintained

suspension of the district. The mine
was reopened yesterday.
Sheriff William Harvey found
thirty-seven miners in a party at a

crew was operating the mine.
The sheriff told the miners. who

not be permitted and that they must
disperse. The men left.

MOTTER TO HOLD BOTH JOBS
VIII Remain at Post as Chairman of
Republican Party.

Harvey H. Motter. Republican state
chairman and newly appointed in
ternal revenue collector for Kansas.
does not expect to surrender his post
as state chairman That was the
statement which Motter made today
following a trip to washington with
Hugh Duff, treasurer of the commit
tee.
Motter did not discuss details of
conferences which he held in Wash
ington. Neither was the purpose of
the Duff trip revealed. Duff has been
appointed by Governor Allen as state
oil inspector to succeed Motter when
he enters federal service He is known
to be Motter's choice for chairman in
event he resigned.
When W. H. l. Pepperin, the pres
ent revenue collector, became fed
eral appointee, he was serving as sec
retary of the Democrat state commit
tee. His resignation from that office
led to the belief that Motter might
also resign. He stated today that he
has not thought of quitting the state
craftsmanship.

Geneva, Oct. 25.-Au the members
of former Emperor Charles household
except the nurse and children were
expelled from Switzerland today.
London, Oct. 25.-It has been de-
cided by the allies that former EN-
peror Charles shall be temporarily in
termed in Tehanny Abbey, on the shore
of Lake Balaton, in western Hungary,

received here that Austrian troops are
entering West Hungary.
The allied governments today in
structed Hungary to keep Charles
safely in custody pending decision
as to his final disposal. The Hun
garian government was requested to
establish special safeguards. 1t is un-
derstood that the allied statesmen did
not fear attempted ASA assinaion so
much as they did that Charles might
try to take his life. He was described
in press dispatches as being very de-
spondent.
Allies Are in Quandary.
Beyond the bare fact that Charles
and Zita had been captured about
forty miles from Budapest following
the collapse of the Hungarian mon
archistic coup, the British foreign Of
flee was without any details.
The allied statesmen are in a guam
dairy as to what shall be done with the
former emperor. The suggestion was
made that he might be given an op =
portunity to go to South America on
, condition that he never attempt to re-
turn to Europe and have no dealings
with any European monarchist agita-
tions.
The Central News says It has
learned from the highest authority
that the decision as to Charles future
home be left to the interallied council
of ambassadors at Paris.
