How One NikOlai
Lenil1e. Hid in a
Russian HayStack

Riga. Latvia, Dec. 12-(The As
ISOLATED Press)-A story telling how
Nikolai Lenine, the Russian Boil
shevik Premier, hid in a haystack in
a swamp near Petrograd in July.
1917, and from that headquarters
directed Communist activities in the
Russian capital while agents of
Premier kerensky, aided by police
dogs. searched for him. has just
been officially told. Lenine finally
escaped to Finland as a fireman of n
locomotive and lived secretly for a
time in the house Of the Chief of
Police of Helsingfcrs, q Bolshevik
sympathizer. Then he returned to
Petrograd to become proletarian die
tator of Russia.
The story is told in the Moscow
Pravada by A. Schotmann, Finnish
Communist, who was delegated by
the Central Committee of the Soviet
party to find Lenine a safer hiding
place than the haystack.
Schotmann writes that he visited
Lenine in his haystac., headquarters
each day carrying provisions and
newspapers. Lenine, he says, occu-
pied himself in writing documents
for world revolutionary propaganda
and drawing up resolutions TO be
adopted by the Communist Party
Congress which held frequent meet
ings in Petrograd.
The police chase was becoming hot
and it was decided. to move Lenine
to Finland. The future Premier
shaved off his beard and mustache
and bought wig to hide his bald
head. Schotmann arranged with a
friend, an engineer, to give him
passage as fireman on his locomotive.
After q long march through the
swamps, they reached the railroad
and Lenine rolled up his sleeves and
fed frewood into the firebox while
the other members of the party
travelled as passengers on the same
train. At the last Russian station
on the Finnish border, the quick
witted engineer detached the locomo-
tive and took it behind the station to
take in water, while the passengers
passports were examined. Just be-
fore the signal for the trains de-
parture, the locomotive returned and
in Is minutes Lenine was safe on
Finnish soil.
BY the end of September. 1917, he
was back in Pctrograd personally
directing the operations of the sue
cessful revolution in November Of
that year.

POWERS ACCEPT
 ROOT PROPOSALS BaIfour Amendment Also Adopted by Full Naval
 Committee
By Associated Press

Washington, January 5.-The full naval committee of the arms confer ence adopted today the first two pro- posals as to submarine warfare re- strictions offered by Elihu Root, but regrouped the provisions into, three clauses. The first clause provides for reaffirmation of existing laws of na- val warfare. The second applies these rules of warfare specifically to sub- marines. The Root proposal number 8 to initiate a new precept of in- ternational law banning submarine warfare against merchant vessels becomes clause 3 and also was ac- cepted by the committee.
 The effect of the Root proposals as adopted is to forbid submarine action against merchant craft so far as the five s:gnatory powers are concerned. The Balfour amendment making the provision of this clause immediately ' effective as between the five powers also was adopted. The committee did not reach the Root proposal to hold submarine commanders personally liable under penalty for violations This clause will be taken up by the committee tomorrow.

Japan Refuses to Accept the Chinese Plan of Payment for the Kiao- Chow

By Associated Press

Washington, January 5.--The shan tung controversy again appeared hopeless of solution late today when after a two and a half hour session between the Japanese and Chinese delegations. devoted to consideration of the return to China of the Kiao- Chow Hsinanfu railway, the latter announced that unless the Japanese accepted the Chinese plan for pay ment for the road in cash or install- ments by tomorrow the conversa- tions" would be ended. Only a re- newal of the good offices of Arthur J. Balfour and Secretary Hughes, 1t was said. could then bring about a meeting of the two groups.
 The Chinese delegation definitely refused to accept the Japanese pro- posal for payment of the railway by d Japanese loan, Wellington Koo, one of the Chinese delegates said, but the Chinese made a concession regarding immediate deposit of 32,000,00O Chinese dollars as cash payment.
 Unless the Japanese accept either this offer or our alternative offer to pay in instalIments at tomorrow S session. that will be the last meet ing" Dr. Roo said. We made this concession, and suggested to the Jap anese that unless this was acceptable tomorrow they had better call in Messrs. Balfour and Hughes with a view to using their good offices"

Waukegan, Ill.,, January 5.-The states bill of particulars in the con spiracy case against Governor Len Small and Vernon Curtis, Grant Park banker, was filed today.
 The bill recites that the state will attempt to show that during the term of Fred E. Sterling as treasurer or Illinois, the defendants. together with Mr. Sterling and the late Edward C Curtis, used S29,41S,500 for personal profit and that Governor Small and the other defendants profited to the extent of s5S5,Oo by the use of state funds

 The bills name amounts said to have been listed in the state books as a "safe fund" and which were real ly turned over to a ''pretended and fictitious bank, the Grant Park banks"
 These funds. the state alleges, were used to gain personal profit for Fred E. Sterling and Governor Small who held adjoining terms of office as state treasurer. and Edward c. and Vernon s. Curtis.
 The state further alleges that the money so transferred earned from to sIa per cent by investment with Armour & Co.,, Swift & Co. Morris Ss Co., and the Cudahy Packing com pany. all large packing corporations. The amount turned over to the state as interest on these funds was said to have been per cent.
