Mrs. Harrison arrived at Riga YES
terday morning, accompanied by
Senator Joseph l. Frsnce ~ Har
land. who is making a tour O
Russia. She expects to leave for
home Monday, travelling by way OF
Berlin.
Belief that Russia has ordered the
release Of all Americans held In that
country, in compliance with the re-
cent demand of this Government. ID
now entertained by State Depart
ment officials. Earlier they had re-
ceived unofficial advices indicating
that Mrs. Harrison had been freed.
and that tho Soviet government waa
taking steps to release all others-
Communication Established. =
Government officials believe tbaS
the Soviet government has acceded
to the wishes Of the State Depart.
ment that the present exchange OF
lead to exchanges on other subjects.
1t was indicated, however. that there
can be no immediate change IN poll.
teal relations between the two coun.
tries.
In releasing the Americans, the
Soviet government Is understood to
take the position that 1t has full
filled it's part of a contract for
economic aid in the present famine
crisis. Both Secretary of State
Hughes and Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover made the release of the
prisoners a condition for the extern
sion Of economic aid.
Government officials indicated,
therefore, that as soon as they are
officially advised Of the release OF
all the prisoners they will be ready
to consider the question Of how aid
may be best and most promptly given
to the famine and cholera victims.
The official report of Mrs. Harri--
sons release was ordered from Riga
by United States Commissioner Ed
ward Young. He failed to advise the
department whether the action of
the Soviet government was brought
about by personal efforts of Senator
France, or as n result Of the State
Department demand.

In either event an important
aspect of the whole situation Is that
when Mrs. Harrison reaches the
United States she will be able TO
clear up the often repeated but never
confirmed charges that the prison.
ers held by the Soviet were mis-
treated. The reports on that sub 1ect
have been conflicting, and Mrs. lIar-
rison's story may go a long wav to-
ward determining the policy of this
Government, for the immediate future
at least, toward Russia
Famine aid for Russia can be
given very quickly, Secretary Hoo
yer indicated, for there are relief
stores now in the Baltic States and
in Central Europe which can be
rushed to Russia within few days
time. There Is some question as
TO whether II would be wise to draw
heavily upon the Baltic stores, mas
much as there is urgent need for
them, but II was said that this might
be done in an emergency.
Complete resumption of trade rela-
tions between the United States and
Russia Is believed by Republican Sem
stors to be foreshadowed by the release

Despite the Administrators de-
sire to have the disarmament con-
ference meet at the earliest posi-
bic moment developments in the
negotiations last night indicated
that both Japan and Great Britain
would make strong effort to have
the date Of the Washington con-
claye deferred as much rs possible.
Delay Is Accepted.
Officials here believe tho London
and Tokyo governments will eventually
see their way clear TO agreement on
a date not later than November. but
the hope that President Harding
might be able to issue tho formal In
vitation while on his present visit TO
New England has practically been
given up.
1t was explained that the formal In.
vitation cannot be sent out until the
date Of the conference has heen de-
cided upon. and much negotiation
must ensue before that point can be
agreed upon by the several Powers.
Great Britain's desire for a post
poncment is based upon the conviction
Of the Dominion Premiers that they
should return to tho governments be-
fore coming to Washington for an ex-
tended stay. Japan's eagerness for
time Is understood to be Inspired by
wish to put her house in order be-
fore coming into a conferences where
such delicate questions as Siberia,
Zap and Shantung are almost certain
to be discussed, II their settlement
has not been effected prior to the
gathering.
Japanese In Siberia.
A Japanese diplomat is now in
Chita negotiating with the government
OF the Far Eastern republic concern
ing the terms of the Japanese with
drawal from Siberia. Another Foreign
Office attache has gone to Pekin for
the ostensible purpose of discussing
with the Chinese government the
problem OF Shantung. Secretary of
state Hughes and Ambassador Shide.
hara are now engaged in converse lions
on the subject of Yap, which accord
ing to high officials of the Administra-
ton. give promise OF a satisfactory
settlement.
Those developments are interpreted
mere as an indication that Japan is
endeavoring to wipe the slate as clean
as possible before sending her delega-
ton to Washington.
To accomplish anything tangible in
this direction, however. considerable
time Is expected to be required. All.
ready there has been intimation from
Tokyo that the japanese government
would like the date OF meeting de-
ferred as much as possible, osten sibly
owing to the necessity of getting to-
eether corps OF experts and because

the journey across the Pacific.

WICHITA Falls, Tex, July 80

WICHITA Falls, Tex, July 80.
After four days of legal battling
in which a venire of 500 men was
exhausted, the last Of the twelve
jurors who are to decide the fate
Of Henry ]. Toussaint, on trial in
this city for the murder Of his
father, o. H. Toussaint, wealthy
and aged Washington man, was
selected at 8 o'clock this afternoon
and court adjourned until 8 o'clock
.fonday, morning. It il believed
that the case viii 60 to the jury
not later than Wednesday.
Insanity to, BE Plea
Further evidence that the main de-
Tense would be built around a perma-
nent insanity plea cropped out during
the examination OF talesrnen Saturday.
Attorneys for Toussaint have con-
ceded his guilt in so far as the murder
is concerned and II Is believed that
they will make their hardest fight In
an effort to prove him incurably In
sane. both at the present time and
at the time he committed the crime.
Dispositions from number of
Washington friends and from several
army officials with whom the defend
have been taken, and II is understood
that these have an important bearing
on his sanity.
The taking Of testimony, which 10
scheduled to begin Monday morning.
will probably be largely confined to
Toussaint's confession, which was
taken by Chief of Police Lee Huff
the day following the murder. and
by the proving of the corpus delecti.
Wife Is Present.
est he had displayed during the first
became apparent that all of Satur-
day would be taken up in the COM
pleting of the Jury panel. He sat
by his wife throughout the days
proceedings, deeply engrossed in the
task OF drawing mystical designs on
a sheet Of paper. Only when fric-
ton developed between hiy attorneys
and those leading the prosecution for
the State did he evince any interest,
and this quickly died away when the
legal squall passed over. He occa.
sjonally conversed with his wife.
The only time he showed deep con-
cern was early Saturday, when Judge
Weldon overruled a demand that a
woman whose name had accidentally
found its way into the jury wheel be
summoned for examination.
THE defense wants a woman on the
jury" Toussaint's attorney declared,
but his demand was dropped when It
was pointed out that the Texas stat
utes prohibit women serving in the
jury box.

been an INCREASE In all utility

This is true. Except in the case
Of the Potomac Electric Power Com.
pany. every utility in the city has
INCREASED rates since 1913. Tele-
phone rates. gas rates and street car
rates have GONE UP.
Even In the case Of the power
