Bolshevism Defined by Mrs. Pankhurst Special to The Times. RICHMOND, Ind..

She described in detail the conditions In tbe Russian cities during the revolution in which the Bolshevists came into power. “Despite the large amount of talk that is heard about the Bolshevists,” she said, "they are stiil a very small minority in Russia and else.where.” Walker’s Body Will Be Buried by Father’s Special to The Times.

JAP VISCOUNT SEES NO CAUSE FOR WAR TALK Visitor, Buying Machines in U. S., Says People Desire Peace. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.—Confidence that matters now at issue between the Enjted States and Japan will be settled on a “common sense basis" was expressed here today by Viscount Inou.ve of Japan, who has just arrived from the Orient. He declared there is no reason for war talk, either in Japan or the United States, as the better classes of both countries desire only the most friendly relations. Viscount Inouye is here to study the steel industry and incidentally to purchase approximately a million dollars worth of machinery for use in the development of the steel industry in Japan.

NEGRO MACHINE CALLS MAYOR’S BLUFF ON JOBS (Continued From Page One.) firemen by the board of public safety next Tuesday. GOES TO MEETING WITH FIRE IN EVE. lie went to the meeting ready to start trouble because he understood from the fact that the two negroes already were slated that the mayor’s propaganda to the effect that ’’the predict committeemen” cculd dictate tie appointments, was empty talk. “Who in the h—l is making these appointments any way V" Howard is said to have thundered at Dr. Furniss, when the matter of "indorsing" appointees came up. Dr. Furniss, foreseeing trouble, it Is said, asked Beverly to step outside and talk the matter over privately. He hinted that Beverly could get lots of things iroin tlie administration if lie would come around to the administration's point of view. The city administration has “laid on” Bevelry's place occasionally. Bevel ly, it is said, cannot understand why he lias to shut down when Iltife Rage, Dr. Furniss’ right-hand man, runs wide open on the avenue. Howard, it is said, refused to talk privately wirh Dr. Furniss and told him that if there was anytiiing to be discussed it should be talked over before the others in the meeting. Dr. Furniss declined and a short time later left in a li u if. INDORSES ONE FOB POLICEMAN. Before the meeting broke up. however, the committeemen indorsed Irving Hardy, negro rodrnan in the city civil engineer's office, for appointment on the police force. Ilardy was once dismissed from the force. After‘the meeting, it Is said, the administration leaders decided that it probably would be wise not to attempt to have any more meetings of “the precinct committeemen" for fear that nobody besides Dr. Furniss and Rufe Rage wouiu attend. Meanwhile members of the board of safety. Mayor Jewett and others in the administration continued to say publicly and privately that the only qualification they would insist upon for the man whom the administration indorses for mayor would lie that lie "keep the police and fire departments out of politics, as we b-ive done.”
