SOVIET SUCCESS
 WON RECOGNITION Russia Believes That British Act
 Will Influence U. s.

Moscow, Feb. 1.-The Bolshevik press halls the extension of recogni- tion by Great, Britain to the soviet government not so much as an act of good will on the part of the new labor government in London as the inevita- ble result of the soviet success. All the newspapers declare it is of the ut- most importance internationally, par ticularly with reference to what they have long considered inevitable diff ierences between France and Eng land.
 N. Stekloff, editor of Izvestia, ex- presses the opinion that the British step undoubtedly will have an infiu- ence upon the United States policy toward Russia, despite American statements to the contrary. He adds that if the British insist upon the ful- iillment of the treaties negotiated be- twen the two countries prior to the revolution, then Russia may as we'll demand fulfllment of the treaty granting her Constantinople ande the Dardanelles." This, he declares, ob- yiously will not come to pass.

Representative Says Not Only Blind Men, But Dead Men Could

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 4.--The Missis- sippi house of representatives, in or ganizing for the legislative session now iN progress almost scored the height of something or other by com ing within a hairs breadth Of elect ing a blind man as one of it's two doorkeepers.
 Doorkeepers in a modern legisla- tive assembly arc about as useful as a parachute to jaybird, but every assembly must have them, and in Mississippi it is the custom to bestow the sinecures upon confederate vet erans. There were seven candidates for the two jobs when Representative John Collins. of Jones county, placed in nomination the name of Mir. Cox
 "He is blind" explained Mir. Col lins, but the duties of doorkeeper are such that blind man could per- form them easily"
 Representative Jesse Austin Adams, of Montgomery county, himself blind, eagerly seconded the inomina- ton. ''The things that arc easy for 9uu MHo Eail see, NIT. AuHnlS ue- clared Fare difficult for those who are blind. But the blind asks no odds of anyone"
 There was only one direct protest against electing a sightless man to guard inc portals of the house. Ii was from Representative John k. Stennis, of kcmpor county.
 "The gentlemen are right in de- that a blind man could dis charge the duties of a doorkecper in the house of representatives" said he. Tn fact, a dead man could do if. I move the office of doorkeeper be abolished."
 There was no second to Mir. Ston- his motion and ballotinG began. Cox, the sightlcss man, boiled the high est vote on inc first ballot and re- mained in the lead until the seven had been weeded down to three. On the final ballot he was

Washington, Feb. 4.--Official ad- vices from Honduras today disclosed definite revolutionary movement against the de facto government of President Gutierrez. but gave no in- dication that American property was in jeopardy or that active hositilities had been started.
 The message said that Carias, one of the aspirants for the presidential office in the triangular deadlock for which no constitutional method of de- cision has been found, had proclaimed himself president
