'J, A possible explanation of the continued fighting by the Russian red army ofvas contained in the following dispatch ‘from Marggra’oowa to the newspaper •Setter Berliner: !!, ’Officers of the old czarist regime in the Russian army are refusing to obey Moscow’s order for an armistice with the Poles. Tension haa developed be- ! iween the bolshevik commissars and the army generals. Apparently the latter ife either unable or unwilling to restrain the troops.” The Polish military authorities at ■Posen have arrested 150 German agitators in that district, according to news i4rom Mescritz. c* There is no confirmation of tb rumor anrrent that a revolution had broken out •t Posen. J!

ADJOURNMENT BEING HELD UP .BY JOINT BODY (Continued From Page One.) on an amendment making home rule on bond issues effective Jan. 1, 1921. instead of on passage of the act. as proj vided in the senate amendments. | As the bill left the house, it proj vlded that the number of petitioners I necessary to carry an appeal from the | officials having initial jurisdiction in , bond issues must be fifteen. An amendment made by the senate changed this figure to fifty, and tho con- ! ference committees have ngreed that j twenty people shall be sufficient to carry ! an appeal. | It is understood that the committees have also agreed that the interest rate ! on bonds shall be either or 5 per i rent, Instead of 6 per cent, as the senate amendment provided. | As passed by the house, the bill pro- | vided that the interest rate should be I four and one-half per cent.''' One of the important amendments j agreed to by the committees in confer i ence is one that is designed primarily to save the position held by Fred A. j !

If the Klper curative bill committee continues its inability to perfect on agreement, it will preclude ell hopes of the special session adjourning tonight. On the other hand, it is thought that tho committc? on tbc Klper measure will speedily reach an agreement a* soon ns , the home rule provisions of the amend- : ed Johnson bill are safely disposed of ; by the conferees. The house has always favored legalization while the senate has been overwhelmingly opposed to such a step.

LOCAL MAN GOT RELIEF FROM BAD CASE RHEUMATISM A severe ense of rheumatism had him down and out for a long time, but Dreco drove it out of his system and he can now bend and stoop as well as he ever could, hs says. Mr. John J. Laurnet, tlie well known hoisting engineer at the Deep Vein Coal • 'orupany’s mines in West Terre Hsute, fnd., who lives at 121$ South Fourth street, relate* the following “I had several attack* of bud colds, grippe and 1 rheumatism until finally it settled into n sf Hons trouble and I wns about as bad as rheumatism could muko me, my position a* engineer caused me to be continually exposed and then I inhaled lots of steam. "When I started on Dreco 7 had about decided that I wasn't going to get well, but if any medicine ever brought a man back when the future seemed to hold nothing hut pain and distress that medl cine was Prceo, "I am so glad to tell my friends what Dreco has done for me and show them how I can stoop and bend, for they know what my condition was before taking if." The old-fashioned remedies, made from roots and herbs, are the best tor anyone to take. Dreeo is made from twelve different roots, herbs, barks and leaves. These act on the stomach, bowels aud kidneys, and purify the blood. Dreco knocks rheumatism out shortly: relieves rntnrrh of the head and stomach; makes you sleep soundly and creates a good appetite. Asa blood purifier nothing can equal Dreco. It puts a stop to bolls, eczema, and other blood affections. All good druggists now sell Dreco and it Is being especially Introduced in Indianapolis by Clark & Cade’s Claypool Hotel Drug Store.—Advertisement.

GOVERNOR WILL CONFER ON COAL AND FOOD BILL (Continued From Page One.) the governor will hold his proposed con 7 ferenee with the other members of the state board of accounts on Saturday. EXPECTED TO SIGN AFTER CONFERENCE. Following that conference the governor is expected to sign the bill. Speaker Eschbach and Lieut. Gov. Bush have announced that they have signed the coal and food commission bill. Representative Bonham of the conferees committee has presented the engrossed bill to the governor for his signature. The coal commission bill as agreed upon and adopted by the senate and the house literally juts Gov. Goodrich In complete charge of the coal situation in the state, with the exception of having power to condemn mines and take them over for operation during an emergency. The bill gives the members of the state board of accounts as the coal commission the right to determine the price of coal in Indiana. This practically puts Gov. Goodrich, who is Interested directly and indirectly in numerous coal mines, in a position in which he can regulate the price of his competitors’ coal. It is expected that a vigorous action will be Instituted in the courts t.o determine the legality of this bill ths minute the coal commission attempts to regulate prices. The fear that the coal commission will bungle the matter as the state board of tax commissioners did by ordering illegal horizontal increases in tax assessments, has led many members of both houses to think seriously of reconsidering the coal commission bill and placing the function* and the powers In another board which does not have Gov. Goodrich as a member. There developed decided opposition in both bouses against the commission bill, when if as learned that Gov. Goodrich was a member of the state board of accounts and would function as a member of the coal commission by virtue thereof.
