TREASURY EMPTY, RUSSIANS WILL NOT PAY TAXES Food Conditions Bad in Slavonic Nation Described as ' Chaotic.

STOCKHOLM. June 13. S. J. Ingar eff, minister of finance, at the Moscow meeting said: "The food conditions in Russia are neither isolated nor unique. As a matter of fact, the whole country seems to be on a way to be pulverized. In many places the local governments are in complete chaos. Treasuries are empty and the jieople are refusing to pay their taxes. ', "Th-s country's terrible financial condition compells us to place on the order of the day the possibility of temporarily stopping payments. We lack not only food, but raw materials." State Must Control. Minister Pesjehonoff said: "The only way out of the crisis is that the government regulate the state in all departments of economy life namely, in production, transportation, exchange, communications and distribu tion." The Novaja Sjisu, one of the important Russian newspapers, severely attacks Kernesky for not being satisfled to be minister of war alone, but for wanting to e political leader and general administrator also. It Is charged against Kerensky in some radical quarters that the Social Democrats became the friend of the bour Scoise undoubtedly because the bourgeolse press is enthusiastic for Kerensky. " ; ; New Offensive. i The RjetsJ says: " "The retirement of Gen. Alexieff and Gen. Brussiloff's , rubstitution certainly means that Kerensky will not resign the idea of a new Russian offensive." Finnish boys, assisted by girls unopposed by the police, are destroying shrubbery and flowers in the Ileisinsfords parka on the ground that they are only for the pleasure of the rich. MOVEMENT FOR GERMAN REFORM HAS LOST FORCE COPENHAGEN', (via London), June 13. The convention of the radical party in Prussia at which resolutions on various reports were passed, serves . to call attention to somnolence of the "political reform movements after it3 activity, synchrunising with the Russian revolution and America's entry into the war. These events brought to a head sen- ,, liment for liberalization and modernization of the system by which Ger many ruled, which sentiment was shared by almost all Germans, except a small class, who under that system dominate the administration of Prussia and Germany. Committee Named. The effect is shown by Emperor William's last message, by the out burst of discussion in the Reichstag in Diets and in the press and it lasted long enough to bring about the appointment of a Reichstag committee on con stitutional reform. Since then the move has died down almost, completely. The Reichstag committee suspended its sessions after endorsing a few proposals which do not po to the heart of the situation and for which neither enthusiasm nor interest is manifested in public opinion. The German press has practically ceased discussion of the reform question and nothing is being done toward the modernization of the diets of the federated states and nothing is now being heard of the flood of proposals to extend the electoral franchise and abolish or reform the hereditary and v appointive upper houses in almost all states of the empire. War Policy Won. The policy of Chancellor-Von Beth-mann-Hollweg and the conservatives to defer the attempt to reform the Prussia Jhree class franchise until the end of the war prevaviled against the 1 demand for an immediate reform 4 voiced by the socialists and radicals. The delay in taking up this urgent reform utnil the restoration of peace was treated as a matter of course by socialist speakers. Philip Scheidemann. chairman of the Reichstag refor mcommittee, is busy at Stockholm with an attempt to dettach Russia from the entente allies and has abandoned for the time being interest in the work of the committee. COMMERCIAL CLUB MEN FIND THRIVING PLANT TO SPAWN FACTORIES A five story building, modern and sanitary, and sheltering eleven infant industries under its roof, was found by the committee from the Commercial club which went yesterday to Springfield, O., to investigate the operation there of the industrial incubator plan proposed for Richmond. Every available space in the building, which is privately owned, was taken, and It has a long waiting list. Another building, larger than the first, Is to be built for Springfield. Among the Industries sheltered by the incubator are a factory for Ford starters, one for washing machines, for rolls for printers, and a job pinting plant. Members of the committee Is enthusiastic, and hope to start building such a plant soon for Richmond. A mass meeting is to be held in the near future, at which the proposition is to be explained by an expert architect. The committee feels confident they could assure stockholders at least six percent on their investment. The committee consists of Frank Albus, George Seidel, George Egge meyer. Stanley W. Hayes, James A, Carr, S. E. Swayne, and J. H. Mills. At a time when other lands are running short of woods suitable for . ieaa pencils, new uuu mat van ue i so used has been found in Africa.

Indiana Women Must Knit Socks For 12,000 Soldiers-miss Boyd

"Knitting, knitting, knitting, they are kitting for the soldier far away," might be fitingly applied to Richmond women. . Yesterday Miss Helen Boyd, of Tndlanapolis, addressed a number of women at the Westcott hotel. She said too many socks for the soldiers could not be made. "By September, there probably will be 12,000 Indiana men in France. For these men we must have five pairs of socks apiece. Thus as you see we will need alone from'the state of Indiana 60,000 pair of. socks," Miss Boyd explained. "It has been estimated that onethird of all the amputations made in one regiment alone, was due to poor socks. The seams were too heavy, the material too rough, etc, Germany Has Store. "Germany has been knitting socks for soldiers since 1904. At that time an edict w.3 issued which forced every woman and child over six years of age to knit a certain number of socks a month. These were stored, just as ammunition and was ready when the war came." Knitting headquarters will be established in some room on Main street. A definite location has not been secured. Scores of women are needed to help in this work. Needles and Pioneer Wants to Serve Unck Sam in Capacity of Scout FARGO, N. D., June 13. "Old Man" Trenholm of Bowdon. N. D., sixty years old and full of fight, wants to go to war, but he Insists that he be named as a scout. He refuses to serve in any other capacity. "I scouted for Custer and other good Indian fighters when fighting: was good in North Dakota," he asserted recently. "I am sixty years old, but I can shake a leg as chipper as any of 'em in a jig or a reel. I won't go as a soldier. I am a good shot and I want to shoot when I get a good chance, Just like I used to on the plains. Now, if Uncle Sam wants a good scout, I am his man." Trenholm is a North Dakota pioneer, spending his summers at farming and his winters at trapping.

Moro Uprising Brought to End; Chief Finis He is Vulnerable

MANILA, June 13 Once more has Moro belief in fixed tradition and tribal superstition been shattered and once more has the lesson of law been driven home to the Sulu Moro. Datu Main, tribal leader of the Jolo Moros, who availed himself of a claim to" invulnerability to assemble about him a band of followers, is no more. His end came when to prove his invulnerability, Be led his remaining half a dozen adherents into a blind at tack upon a company of Moro constabulary armed to the teeth. All Seven Killed. Despite, the Datu's assurance to his men that Mahomet and God had banded together to protect them against all harm, all seven were almost instantly killed in the volley which met their charge. Maih was responsible for the only serious breach in order which has occurred in Jolo in a year. Life on the island, hitherto fearsome and uncertain at best had grown pretty calm until Maih, by his claim of invulnerability, induced three dozen men to join him. Their first overt act was to waylay a detachment of constabuOne Hour Difference in Time Between Adjoining Towns BISMARK. N. D., Jun... 13. Just across the river from here lies Mandan. A meridian line runs through the river and Bismark observes central time, Mandan, western time. This has proved of great annoyance, especially to workmen employed in the railroad shops in the latter city. The Commercial club at Mandan several days ago petitioned President Hannaford, of the Northern Pacific railroad to adopt central time in the shops there. The request was granted and a shopman may leave his home shortly before 9 o'clock and yet go to work at 8 o'clock in the shops. It all depends upon which he is using. O. A. R. MEMBERS TO VOLUNTEER SERVICES Blanks indicating their ability and desire to serve their country in every conceivable way will be filled out by Daughters of the American Revolution at Rod Cross headuarters tomorrow evening. Eleven different branches of service are indicated on the blanks.

The local movement is part of one which it is hoped will soon aid the government to know - the ability of every woman in the country.

This knitting will not take the place of the Red Cross work now being done. Too much help at their headquarters cannot be secured. Appeals for more surgical dressings is constantly bein sent, from France. These dressings mean the saving of lives. Women are urged to come to the headquarters at any time during any day and help. Both committees are urging Richmond women to show their patriotism. "Knit or sew," is the plea being made. Help Indiana's boys to be comfortable and live longer. K. 0F P.

A Petrograd dispatch to Reuters stated that preliminary returns indicate that the Socialist bloc, comprising Revolutionary Socialists, Democratic Socialists, and Laborites carried the elections in the Petrograd district for members of the municipal council. In the election universal suffrage for women was applied for the first time in Russia. The Constitutional Democrats, also known as the Cadets, polled the second highest number of votes. lary under Lieutenant Ward, an American. , American Officer Killed. The American and six of his leaders were killed. It was a propitious start for the "invulnerable" though they lost several of their number. But then the pursuit began and strangely enough, considering previous pursuits of similar bands, the solid Moros of Jolo Island aided the pursuers rather than the pursued. In 6hort order some thirty of Miah's men were accounted for, leaving him six followers. Pushed into straits by constant pursuit and the unwillingness of their fellow countrymen to aidvthem, they finally determined to trust in their talismans and charge a constabulary camp. And thus ended the brief but dramatic story of Maih. Value ot Life Keeps Pace With H. C.of L. CHICAGO, June 13. Judgment for $18,000 obtained in the circuit qourt by the widow of Frank Parks, who was killed while employed as a switchman for the Grand Trunk Western Railway company, was sustained by the appellate court yesterday. - Heretofore $10,000 damages for loss of life by accident has been accepted as the maximum. The increase in the amount of the judgment is thus commented on by the three judges of the appelate court: "We cannot be unmindful of the fact that the money value of life and health is appreciating, and that the earning capacity of money is steadily diminishing during recent years." AIR RAIDS Continued From Page One. awakening too late. If this country bad started several years ago to build an air fleet it would have saved millions of dollars. "Up until this year, the United States spent 1125,000 on aeronautics, while this year that figure is increased by almost a billion dollars. Had this country spent about a quarter of a million dollars on airplanes several years ago, they would now be prepared in this branch of the fighting forces, and at the same time would have saved millions of dollars, on account of having to pay higher prices now."

MUNjCIE, Ind., June 13 Police today were searching for a man who at tempted to kidnap Lybia, the two year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Karl Oesterfe, but was frightened away, leaving the child lying just in- ! side the front door. Mr. Oesterle is vice president of the Delaware County National Bank. Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning, the nurse, Mrs. Dora Guild, was awakened by the feeling of someone in the rom. She went to the child's crib and found it empty. She ran into the hall and saw a man descending the stairs. - The would-be kidnapper had left the library window open, but evidently became confused and ran to the front door. He put the baby on the floor to open the door and did not take time to pick up the child again. An automobile was waiting around the corner for the kidnaper. The child did not awaken, until found by the police on the floor. The Oesterles are- wealthy. A screen was partly pried out of a window of the home last Friday night.

United States in entering the war was to secure a just and permanent peace founded on equitable principles, the United States will begin to exercise an increasing interest in all readjustments in Europe, especially in the Balkans The inference was left that many of the changes now . being, made are purely military and . temporary . and that the final settlement might largely disregard them. Will Take No Hand. The United States will not have to declare a formal recognition of the new king, as Minister Droppers is accredited, not to an individual, but to the king of Greece whoever he may be. As between the two Grecian parties and as between monarchy and republicanism in Greece, it was said today that the United . States would not go further than to hope for a "liberal" government. Great interest now centers in whether the Allies, having dethroned Constantine, will urge Greece to actively enter the war or whether they will be iuuicui wmi uer passive neutrality removing all threat from a rear attack cn the forces at Saloniki. Have 650,000 Men. The allies have at least 650,000 men in the Balkans, including 275,000 French, 100,000 British. 150,000 Serbians, 50,000 Italians, 75,000 Greeks and some Russians and Portuguese. An enormous amount of supplies has been gathered against the cutting off of Saloniki by U-boats and new transport lines have ben laid from Italy. This force, even without Greek aid, ii capable of a strong offensive in the rough Balkan territory, the prize of which would be the splitting of the central empires by the isolation of Turkey and Bulgaria. The crumbling of Russian and Rumanian strength, however, has smashed the other jaw of the pincers and has made an offensive problematical. NG INTENSE Also on Arms. Scratched Almost Night and Day.
