 London. Dec. l7.--British officials are intensely interested in the bid for American recognition made by For eign Minister Tchitcherin of soviet Russia in his note to President Cool ilge.
 Coupled with similar efforts to ob- lain ltaly's friendship, British dip- lomats see in Moscows gesture to the American government what they characterize as desire on Russia's part to reform her ways and a readi- ness 10 recognize at least some of her international obligations.
 Duubiful About Claims
 Special significance is attached to NJ. Tchitchtrin's statement that the soviet government is fully prepared to negotiate with the United States with a view to a satisfactory settlement of the claims mentioned in President Coolidgc's mussdgc to congress. The British authorities hesitate to believe that this presagcs the formal admis- sion by Moscow of the validity of all the claims incurred by Russia, either before or after the revolution of i9i7.
 Ow.~ Colossal Debt
 'tiranting that Russia now sees the moral necessity Of dischargins thes claims" said one official. ''ii is diff hcui to see how in her present de- pleted condition she could give any thing more than pledge to pay in the distance future. II must he rec member,d that she owes tho United States. Hith interest, nearly s2b0,000,- 900. while her obligations 10 Great Britain and France total nearly si,- 6O0, 0,0o0.o0o II would take several centuries 10 liauidatc such colossal sums"
 Government officials here admit that American recognition of the so- ,iet government woud have consider abe influence upon Great Britain's at titude towards Moscow. but they doubt whether M Tchitcherin's over lures to Washington will result suc- cessfuIiy. They believe President Coolidge will want the strongest guar sntees that the soviet government will redeem ell Russia's obligations to the l American government and American citizens before he commits the United 1 states 10 the resumption of normal l relations with Russia.

LIFE PRISONERS ID
 GET ANOTHER TRIAL Supreme Court Grants Appeal Of
 Litchfeld County Men WERE CONVICTED IN 1921
Found Guilty of Murdering John Sis sere of Canaan-Judge Erred in Ad- mission of Prejudicial Evidence, is Decision.

Hartford, Dec. 1.-The supreme court of errors has ordered a new trial for Michael and Louis Luria, who were found guilty of the murder of John Sissere, of Canaan in August, 1921, in the superior court of Litch- field county. The men were sentenced to life Imprisonment. The case was tried before q jury and Judge William NJ. Maltbie. Justice Howard J. Curtis who wrote the opinion in which all the supreme court justices concur charge to the jury, and in admitting evidence highly prejudicial to the &C., cused.
 No Mistaken Identity
 The state, represented by States At torney Walter Holcomb and Attorney J. Clinton Roraback, undertook to prove that the Lurias mistook Sissere for Tony Boscardino who they thought had betrayed their alleged activities in stealing goods from freight cars at Canaan in 1920. The supreme court finds no evidence which tended to prove that the accused made such a mistake. Justice Curtis says. from the evidence there was no basis for such an inference and no basis for even e reasonable conjecture that such a mistake of identity was made. There is no support for the portions of the charge relating to mistaken identity and they were enormously given"
 The court finds reasonable ground to believe that the accused did not secure a fair and impartial trial be- cause matters highly prejudicial to them were laid before the jury by the state.

PHILIP AND KADOKA
DISCUSS c. B. H.
WANT PRESENT ROUTE TO BE
CHANGED SO AS TO IN
CLUDE PHILIP

A delegation of eight members
of the Commercial Club of Philip.
headed by the president and the
secretary, came over last Friday
evening for a friendly council with
the men of Kadoka. Their purpose
was to get first hand impressions
from local folks regarding their
attitude relative to change in
the route Of the Custer Battlefield
Hiway so as TO include their fair
city.
The meeting was held in the
basement of the Masonic temple.
The live wire boosters from the
Haakon county seat explained their
side of the case in a very able and
tricndlv manner and in conclusion
asked the support of our men for
their program.
kadokans answered and explain
ed, that for several reasons they
could not seetheir way clear at
this time to support a program
aiming at a change of the route
mentioned.
The route by Philip would
iengthen the mileage of the {. b.
H. condition that those in au-
thority have tried to avoid; in
fact wherever possible they have
tried to shorten the distance.
Then too, our folks thought that
this one highway had received Il
sreat deal of their care. labor and
money. that its success was to
some extent at least the product
Of Jackson COunty's most hearty
cooperation with the Custer Battle
ield Hiway Association. 1t now
ranSvcrses Jackson County for az
niles east and west and 3 more
niles north and south. To change
he routeing as proposed would
axe the route out of this county
.or many miles and would meet
With strenuous objections from
hose living along the route who
the past have given liberallv of
10Th time and money to make the
Dad what ii now rs, an cnviabie

1t was also pointed out that
ackson Count has been the first
county across the river to help
make the future of the route more
.ecurc by subscribing $4,000 out
IF the we'll drained county purse
tor the building of the brid a
cross the river at Chamberlain.
The good men from the Haakon
Jounty seat seemed satisfied to
ret Kadoka's viewpoint on the
matter and best of feelings pre-
Jailed.
The local boys brought on cigars
md apples and a fine social spirit
,revailcd until time bade the Wis
tors home. Our folks were pleas
I'd to meet them and hope they
will come again.
