RUSSIAN PEASANTS
OPPOSE RED TROOPS;
STARVATION IS NEAR
CRx Associated Pressl

RIGA, June 27-Irregular fighting
between Russian peasants and Red
troops is continuing along the Folga
river in the vicinity of Saratov, &C
cording to Daniel Isaac, a Seventh Day
Adventist Missionary of Parker, S. D.,
who has arrived at Riga with his wife,
formerly of Harrington, Kan, after a
sojourn of many years in Russia.
Mr. Isaac said that the peasants, led
by Antonoff, Maxine, Wakulin and
other irregular leaders whom the Boil
sheviki term bandits" are constantly
opposing the Red contingents in the
Volga villages, although they are most
ly armed only with pitchforks and
scythes
Little Food Left.
Fighting began in January, when
the commissars seized sheep, cattle
and grain. even to chicken food, leav-
ing only 20 pounds of grain per man
to support the people through the
winter" said Mr.. Isaac. "A hundred
or more villages in this district which
is largely populated by German colon
lists, are threatened with starvation.
! The fighting however is only a ques-
ton of whites and reds alternately
driving each other in and out of the
devastated villages
Mr.. Isaac left the village of Warren
burg on the Volga, where he had a
church, early in May. At this time.
! be says, Antonoff had about 10000
| irregulars, whom the Bolsheviki could
! not catch because they were mounted
! on fast horses and able to harass the
enemy and afterward retreat. These
| irregulars, he added, have been killing
number of Jews in the Volga terri
| tory.
Prices are High.
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac arrived at Mos.
COW on May S, being permitted to
leave Russia in company with Lettish
, refugees. They spent a week in Mo-
COW, where he found that a number of
| stores had been opened particularly
| for the sale of foodstuffs including
white bread, eggs and milk. all of
which were available, although prices
were high.
! Mr.. Isaac brought the news that o.
| A. Reinke, of New York, pastor of the
Adventist Church in the Volga terri
tory, died of typhus, February IS, leav-
| ing a widow and a ten-year old
daughter, who are still living in the
village of Hoosenbach near Saratov
They are unable to leave because they
are Americans.
| Conditions in Russia are worse in
| the country than in the cities" said
Mr.. Isaac, for there is a shortage of
even bread and potatoes. However,
the opponents of Bolshevism seem to
have lost all power of reorganization
and there does not seem to be any
chance of real rebellion in the near
future"

.PICKFORD DIVORCE
DECREE SUSTAINED

MNDEN, New, June 27.-The state
supreme court is to be asked to pass
on the divorce of Mary Pickford and
owen Moore, which was sustained in
a decision by District Judge Frank c.
Langan, Attorney General Leonard
Fowler announced. He said he would
appeal and file a list of exceptions to
Judge Langan's decision preliminary
to that action.
RENO, New, June 27.-The effort Of
the state attorney general to have the
divorce decree of Mary Pickford from
Owen Moore set aside failed at Min
den Saturday afternoon, when District
Judge Langen granted a motion to
quash the summons in the attorney
generals proceedings.
The court held that while it was
true that the state was party to all
divorces, as contended by the attorney
general, yet the state was represent
ed by the trial judge and not by the
attorney general. AS the decree had
been accepted by both plaintiff and
defendant, the judge decided. the state
was estopped from proceedings to set
aside the decree.
Many of the members of the bar
from Nevada were present at the Min
den court this afternoon, when the de-
cision was rendered.

STATE ROAD BRIDGES
TO Be BUILT WIDE
TOSPEED UP TRAFFIC

INDIANAPOLIS, June 27.-Bridges
on the Indiana state highway system
are to be built as wide as possible,
according to Lawrence Lyons, director
of the state highway department.
Engineers are being instructed tC de-
sign bridges of maximum width con-
sistent with length of span.
William J. Titus, chief bridge engi-
neer. says structures should facilitate,
not obstruct or slow down traffic. To
this end, if a bridge span is less than
ten feet wide then it is constructed
the fill width of the highway, which
is eighteen feet plus five-foot should
er On either side. In other words this
type of bridge has clearance Of
twenty-eight feet
From an. economic point of view, it
is not feasible or practicable to build
a bridge this width if it has a larger
span or if there are several spans,
and in case the span is from ten to
twenty feet the clearance of the struc-
ture should be twenty-four feet.
Aim to Keep Traffic Moving.
In the East where Federal aid has
brought about construction of many
hard-surfaced roads and where travel
II Is at rate or from l,oUO TO
vehicles an hour past given
provision was made for two
lines of traffic. Engineers estimate
that for safety when traffic is moving
in both directions at the rate of fifteen
miles an hour the headroom between
vehicles should be not less than
twenty feet. The most extensively
travelled highways ir Indiana today
show approximately 1000 vehicles
passing a given point each day, road
officials say. The department at this
time is chiefly concerned with road
maintenance, closing up gaps in prev
| iously constructed road sections. and
! the construction of bridges absolutely
necessary.
Because all bridges are designed to
! last approximately three-quarters of a
century, safely support the twenty-ton
| truck load of freight, and conditions
/ on every hand indicate that hard-sur-
! face roads are to be the chief feeders
to route products from the farm, fac
! tory and mill to the business marts
and distributing rail and electric ter
minals, Indiana will build bridges oil

needs, Mr.. Lyons says.

June 27.-Picturesque feudal ceremo-
MES of 500 years ago were revived
here when the Prince of Wales, who is
also Duke of Cornwall, paid a visit
10 the old-time capital of his duchy.
Launceston has been a royal borough
since about 1886.
The ceremonies included the pre-
sentation of rent Offerings of fealty'
in kind, according to ancient custom.
The Mayor presented to the Prince
100 shillings and one pound of pepper
on a silver dish.
To Sir Hugh Wordsworth St. Aubyn
fell the duty TO offer 4 brace of grey
hounds. According to ancient usage
they should be pure white, but the
nearest obtainable approach was ?
well-matched piebald couple.
Another ducal tenant rendered a
pair of gilt spurs, and others pre-
scented a pound of Cumin, a salmon
spear, a faggot of wood. pair OF
white gloves and a rose.
Strangest of all these curious terms
of tenure is one requiring the repre-
sentatives of the manor of Swannacot
and St. Mary Week to present them
selves at the ducal court clad in
mantles of goatskins. The present
day incumbent, Bethuel Hutchings
