-The crisis be-

Dissolution of the constituent as

government. has brought to a
Vlimax the violent opposition of the
tiiicial -revolutionary party. The Bol
sheviki leaders today freely predicted
tbat their enemies are now preparing
tC campaign of terror. Tney named
Ibrmer Minister Savinkoff with 150
Jmen as leading this counter-revolu-Xonary
movement.
" Bloodshed was narrowly averted in
the closing of the constituent as
sembly. Tho last few minutes of the
neeting were dramatic in their in
tensity. Armed sailors poured into
J he hall and were arrayed in groups
14 the aisles. Their commander de
manded that Chernoff, then 'presid
ing, quit the platform and that the
(members of the Right -parties ieave
She hall. Chernoff flatly refused. A
ileated argument ensued. Witnesses
' Jfiday insisted it was only intervention
if the Bolsheviki delegates them
selves that saved their political op
ponents from, violence at the hands of
-the Bolsheviki troops.
i Appeals for Solid Front.
iThe final act of the assembly was
the formal proclamation of Russia as
Hi democratic republic. The speech
of Former Minister Tzeretelli was
dramatic. He was constantly inter
!rupted and often with violent abuse.
33is concluding oration was a pathetic
appeal to all that the revolution be
jjermitted to bear fruit in the forma
tion of a government which would
tihow a solid front of all classes of the
revolutionary democracy.
I . The Bolsheviki and Social Revolu
tionaries of the Left together with
Sothers who favor a pan-Russian work
men, soldiers' and peasants' congress
o take the place of the constituent
Assembly, were working hard today to
HChieve this sort of a law-giving body.
The Soviets completely control the
Situation and will undoubtedly carry
thru their program complete.
One faction Tried to Kid It?
"t "What happened to the constituent
Assembly simply represents the strug
gle now going on everywhere," said
the Bolsheviki minister of agriculture,
J. Kalegyeff, in an interview of the
United Press today. "The Right par
oles cannot remain alone and exercise
Jpower in the constituent assembly
for the people do not recognize them.
Phe people are behind the Soviets,
tiould the parties of the Right chal
lenge the authority and power of the
oviets it simply means an extension
f the civil war now raging."
i- It was reported' today that the peo
Jfle'n commissaries desire to take the
Brest-Litovsk negotiations out of the
hands of the present delegation, altho
they assert thei.' adherence to the con
ditions of the armistice.

! " On Sunday night former Cadet Min
isters Kokoshkin and Shingareff, who
were recently transferred to a hos
pital from the fortress of St. Peter and
aul, were killed by a band of soldiers
and workmen. Their assassination
- together with the animosities aroused
by forcible closing down of the con
stituent assembly has brought about
Jhe most intensely bitter feeling be
tween the Right and Left parties.
I A delegation of the constituent as
sembly leaders who called on Nich
olal Lenine today to protest against
the Bolsheviki action were, told by
jthe Bolsheviki leader that permission
would be withheld for them to as
semble anywhere and that instead of
their conference, a national conven
tion would be formed by the forth
coming soviet congress,

tailed accounts of the constituent
meetings were confiscated today.
, The soviet of the workmen and sol
diers - today formally approved the
dissolution of the assembly aftar a
speech by Inovieff, declaring the' con
ference brought together two ele
ments which could not be conciliated.
In the opinion of many leaders the
dissolution means war to a finish be
tween the two elements. The mem
bers of the Right who dominated the
constituent assembly, are planning to
go" to Kieff or Novocherkask.
A widely circulated report today
that Tzeretelli and Chernoff, leaders
fef the Social Revolutionaries in the
tenti-Bolshevikl movement had been
"killed, was declared false by the au
thorities. The central executive com
mittee of the Bolsheviki, however,
flamed a commission to investigate
other shootings in the city. The Red
guards who participated in last week's
attack on groups in the city blamed
She paraders for the rioting.
A city-wide -hunt was in progress
Dor M. Savinkoff. one of Kerensky's

ported in hiding. In the opinion of
politicians here, there is little chance
pf the constituent assembly leaders
overcoming the Bqjsheviki. A few of
trie Red guards, however, formally
tendered their resignations today, de
claring they were being used to sup
press liberty in the attacks on the
Constituent assembly.

concluded.
WHY BOLSHEVIKI WITHDREW.
Minority Iielieved Assembly Intended
to Overthrow Socialism.
PetrogTad, Jan. 21. The declaration
of the Bolsheviki delegates to the
constituent assembly adopted by them
prior to their bolt from this body, was
published in full today. In part it as
serted: "The debates have shown that the
Social Revolutionaries of the Right,
as in Kerensky's time, are nourishing
the people on promises and phrases,
J)ut in reality are opposing Socialist
measures such as appropriation of
lands, the nationalization of banks and
the control and annulment of state
debts.- Not wishing to condone these
crimes of the enemies of the people,
we declare we are quitting the assem
bly." I x nine Order Dissolving Congress.
The Bolshevik: decree dissolving the
constituent assembly read in part:
"The constituent assembly was
chosen from the old election lists and
U now appears as an expression of
the old bourgeoisie regime, expecting
to become chief authority in a bour
geoisie republic opposing the October
revolution nd the Soviets' authority.
"The old . bourgeoisie parliamen
tarism has seen its day. It is unable to
cope with the tasks facing Socialism.
Only institutions such as the Soviets
are able to overcome the opposition
of the rich classes and to create a new
Socialist state. The refusal to recog
nize the Soviets authority and the re
storing to the bourgeoisie of the lib
erty they have Von would be -a step
backward toward bankruptcy of the
workmen's ' and peasants revolution.
The Right Socialist Revolutionaries
are openly fighting the Soviets and
supporting the exploiters of labor. The
central executive committee therefore

solved. LITTLE FUEL IS

stores are open, and it will be neces
sary for many a housewife to rear
range her affairs so that the materials
for breakfast are on hand the night
before. Also belated shoppers of all
kinds will have to speed up in their
purchases. No more lingering after
the official closing hour will be per
mitted, and the lady of fashion and
means must now forego that pleasant
habit she has of keeping the girl be
hind the counter patiently waiting
for long minutes after the store is sup
posed to be closed.
Hits Barber Shops Too.
Humphreys and his wa"r with the
union barbers get theirs, too, in the
order. Humphreys, proprietor of the
National hotel and barber shop, start
ed an agitation among the. local bar
bers some time ago in regard to the
practice of staying open a little later
in the evening. Now comes Dictator
Banner with the official and final or
der that all barber shops in the coun
ty must close their doors at 7 o'clock
in the evening, nor must they open
them again till 9 o'clock the next
morning. This applies except on Sat
urdays when the shops can stay open
until 10 o'clock in the evening.
Perhaps the biggest hardship on the
youngsters will be the closing of the
dance halls altogether. Not for a min
ute will the dance halls be open until
the present order is revised in this re
gard and the revision will probably
come after the summer sun solves the
fuel problem. No more will the moth
ers of the wtyward misses of the city
be worried and tortured with doubt as
to the whereabouts and company of
their daughters, for the dance halls be
ing closed and the picture shows clos
ing at 10 o'clock, there is no longer
any excuse for a later arrival home
than 10:30 o'clock.

T800 "BABY LINES"
Comprise List McAdoo Would
Drop From Gov't Control.
De Bernardi of Of lent Line
Says It Means Disaster.
Washington, Jan. 21. Approxi
mately eight hundred of these small
roads, representing 1, 000.000,000 .in
vestment. ara-rn the "twilight zone"
of control, the senate committee has
been told during its examination of
Secretary McAdoo. He insisted that
inasmuch as the direction of : these
roads hi:d not yet been disturbed by
government control, the government
was not liable "for any compensation
to thoso. roads turned back.
Clifford Thorne, former Iowa rail
road commissioner, before the house,
interstate commerce committee, de
clared McAdoo had too much power
and urged that authority to fix rates
be left with the interstate commerce
commission.
' "The time may come," he said,
"when it will be necessary to abolish
our institutions to abolish courts, the
contitntion and even congress itself
and to put all power in the hands of
one man, but that time is not yet."
Cites Danger of Control.
Thorne made the following points
of warning:
That a vast political machine among
railroad employes may be created if
the wage adjustment board, an
nounced by McAdoo is allowed "to be
come a mere puppet in the director-
generol s hands. - -
That the efforts of the railroads to
make government operation distasteful
must be guarded -against.
.-That the guaranteeing of returns
may remove all incentive to render
the most efficient service.
That great injury may come to
American business thru the juggling
of freight rates.
A. De Bernardi of Kansas City, gen
eral manager of the "Orient" -one of
the small lines claimed McAdoo's
policy of "ditching" the "baby roads"
will greatly decrease the efficiency of
the national transportation system.
"It means only financial disaster for
many of the small roads that iave
been struggling along for years trying
to get on their feet," De Bernardi tes
tified. "The roads under government
control- would -naturally receive gov
ernment preference.
"Every railroad system, no matter
how great, it is, is somewhat depend
ent on the small railroad, no matter
how small it is. The government
should take over all the railroads or
none of them. If given their fair
share of business the small roads will
not be a burden to the government.
McAdoo said it was the duty of the
director general, as quickly as pos
sible, to determine what railroads or
parts of railroads are needed by the
government, and to notify the carriers.
That is now in progress., ....
"As to railroads taken over, com
pensation is provided under the law
we are goic to pass. As to those out
side it seems to me an injury is a
matter for the courts to determine. I
don't believe, the law should require
compensation to railroads whether the
government needs them or not. ;
Keep All Iines Going.
"There is no disposition to rip any
body up the back. It's the govern
ment's desire to treat small as well as
big roads as equitably as is possible
as far as is compatible with public
use and interest. All the lines exclud
ed from government control ought to
be kept going, encoumged and treated
by the government with utmost fair
ness and consideration."
LOVE OVER GIRL
(Continued from Page One.)
dental, saving he thought he had tak
en all cartridges out of the gun.
Officers working on the case today
admitted that it had been impossible
to learn of any love affair existing be
tween the dead boy and a"girl or be
tween Reynolds and any girl. As the
day progressed they were less and
less inclined . to believe jealousy
prompted the tragedy.
Young Reynolds . is a handsome,
hard working lad, well liked by every
one who knows him. His friends are
standing by him loyally and dei:y the
jealousy theory, declaring the lad
would noVdo such a thing intention
ally. He is the only son artd his fa
ther, an employe of the Kaw Milling
company, is respected by all who know
him. His mother is prostrated with
grief.
Father Breaks Down.
Mr. Reynolds called at the sheriffs
office today. He broke iato tears as
he talked to the sheriff.
"Jt's that fool gun toting habit that
dicr it all," said the father. "I want
him to stay, in jail a while to teach
him never again to carry a gun."
Young Reynolds stood behind the
prison bars today and vehemently de
nied that the shooting was anything
but accidental. The revolver, a .38
caliber affair,,had never been carried
by him but once before, he said, that
was on New 'Year's night when he
had obtained blank cartridges for it.
Where and when he had managed
to get real cartridges he -didn't say.
He says that the Carrel youth called
at his home shortly after dinner Sun
day and together they walked -around
town, spending most of their time in
Oakland.
"We went to our house and ate sup
per." said Reynolds. "Then we started
to the Epworth league. As we entered
the church I took the revolver from
my overcoat pocket, broke it and
thought I knocked all the cartridges
out of it. I replaced the gun in my
coat pocket.
"Arvy. Lawrence Plummer and my
self were sitting there talking. I took
therun out of ray pocket and thought
merely to si nap it in Arvy's direction.
I don' know what we were talking
about.. I didn't even know the lights
had been flashed out. Then I dis
covered I had shot Orvy." v
Reynolds's memory seemed to fail
him there. He remembered running
to Carrel's home to tell the lad's
mother of his death. He remem
bered hiding the revolver.
"Why did you hide it?" he was
asked.
"I don't know, he replied. "What
would you do, if such a thing hap
pened, to you?"
r ' , Cartridges with Gun.
' Larimer, had Reynolds go to "the
hiding place of the gun. . He found it
hidden under .some leaves Reynolds
had scraped together. Four cartridges
were lying beside, the gun. The ex
ploded cartridge could not be found.
Reynolds told Larimer he didn't know
where the - exploded cartridge had
bn thrown. '
Who turned off the lights and why
it was done is a mystery officers are
unable to explain. For a time, it was
thought the- lights had -buen switched
off in the power house but that.would
have caused a like turning off of ligl.ts
thruout North . Topeka. i Investigation,
revealed that such was not the case
Sunday.
Reynolds quit school a year ago. - 'He
worked in the Santa Fe offices in the
day time Suvd attended a night school
at Strickler's business college He said
today he carried the gun for protec
tion as his parents feared that some
thing might happen to him when he
earner home late at night. However,
he admitted Sunday was the second
day he had had the revolver in his
possession. w
Relatives of young Carrel believe he
was the victim of a plot, they stated
today. However,, they doubt the jeal
ous theory, saying Arvy didn't care
much for girls. He was fond of ath
letics and was a good student, paying
little attention to girls.
Dead Boy's Father Here. ;
Mrs. Frazier is: seperated from
Arvy's father. The father is living In
Kansas City. The father, Amos 3.
Carrel, is in Topeka today. One
brother, Victor, works for the Kansas
Farmer. A sister, Minnie, also sur
vives. She is the youngets of the three
children.
An autopsw conducted by Coroner
Marcotte today revealed that the-bullet
pierced the upper part of the heart,
went thru the lung and lodged near
the left shoulder blade. -. The bullet
which was found was one fired from
a .38 caliber revolver. Death was in
stantaneous, Marcotte states.
There was little nervousness evi
denced by any of those present at the
shooting. The Rev. Mr. Scheer arrived
a few minutes after the tragedy. The
young people present were: Ray and

a serious problem will confront con
gress about the ownership of our pub
lie -utilities, and you believe it will take
congress a good while to reach a
sound conclusion ?"said Cummins.
'My cole feeling is that we are iri a
very uncertain situation," said , Mc
Adoo. "It would be very unwise fon
congress to set a limit to government
control to tie its own hands against
legislating properly for the new condi
tions." - -
Cummins demanded what McAdoo
thought of the wisdom of leaving the
roads in control of one man, the pres
ident, after the war emergency has
passed as compared with government
ownership and management by the
government as a whole permanently.
McAdoo repeated that in his opinion
congress must determine when the
time comes what is the wisest course.
Opposes Commission Control.
Referring to the question of fixing
definitely the period of government
control Senator Cummins asked:
"Do you believe that the regulation
and control of the railroads should be
left in the hands of one man in peace
timesJ?" -
"I believe the president, whoever he
may be, would discharge that - trust
better than any committeeman - you
could name," replied McAdoo.
"No other country has ever done
anything. like that," said Cummins.
"America should . not set her pace
by. that of others,"' said the director
general. "I am never afraid when
America thinks or acts originally, "-
Senator Cummins, it- is known, -favors
creating a commission to handle
the roads after peace is declared, ::

Indiana as federal explosives inspec
tors.
"Senator Penrose," he said, "seems
to have forgotten partisan appoint
ments by the governor of Pennsyl
vania of Republicans on war com
mittees." Refers to St. Louis Mee tins'.
Of the Pennsylvania committee
members Mr. Stone said 309 were P.e
publicans and only fourteen Demo
crats. Turning to Chairman Willcox
of the Republican national committee
the Missouri senator said, before he
introduced his "star witness" he would
cite the statement made to the press
by Mr. Willcox regarding the incompe
tence of the Democratic party and its
effect on coming congressional elec
tions. He said . meeting of Repub
lican leaders had been 'called at St.
Louis on February 12 to inaugurate a
winter campaign.
"Colonel Roosevelt has engaged a
hall in St. Louis to make a war speech
the day before the committee meet
ing." Senator Stone continued.- - -
"I now introduce my star witness:'
Theodore- Roosevelt himself: whom I
characterize as the most seditious man
of conseouence in America. . The heart
of this man is aflamewith inordinate
ambition and he runs amuck. His
chief thought is not to help the gov
ernment but always of Roosevelt. Al
most every day this man speaks in
bitter and contemptuous disparage
ment of the president and the majority
members of this congress. Every
week for a long time he has been and
still is publishing under contract for
a money consideration think or it. for
money villainous screens in the Kan
sas City Star attacking the president
and the government. These Roosevelt
contributions are reproduced in nu
merous important newspapers. What
ever may be said of the papers repro
ducing these disloyal utterances the
Kansas City Star is chiefly respon
sible." Citing criticisms of Mr. Roosevelt's
editorials, Senator Stone continued:
Ought to Be Arrested.
"For example Roosevelt denounces
the president and the government in
terms that would subject almost any
other citizen to .arrest yet his utter
ances which I say would be denounced
as treasonable if -made by others are
widely published without even official
protest.
"I have ouoted these utterances of
Roosevelt first to show that his
vaunted claim, self advertised, of- a
superior brand of 1 patriotism is "mpty
and secondly, to inquire why Kjtse
velt may say" thirds with impunity
which a citizen ot lesser consecu nce
dare not even repeat without danger
of. indictment for disloyalty."
At this .point the senator made his
reference to Roosevelt as an aid to the
kaiser, and then turned to the con
gressional war investigation. He did
not question the right of congress to
make the inquiries, but rather their
purpose and publicity, given to na
tional difficulties. '
"I cannot beiieve,"- he said,' "that
the world-wide advertisement of al
leged deficiencies in our war activi
ties, even of ultimately found true, is
necessary to bring about adminis
trative reforms. - I doubt the wisdom
of wide open investigations into al
most everything that might be made
4hsttbject--of -criticism, of -the admin
istration. .V- . .
' Brags on Efficiency of Government.
"I do not mean that administrative
measures should be concealed from
our people. Of codrse mistakes have
been ma.de by the government doubt
less ; many and grave - mistakes. In
the circumstances that was iifevitable,
but is it necessary for us to- stand on
at housetop and proclaim these mis
takes with a loud voice to 'the whole
world?"
Considering everything, Mr. Stone
asserted that the achievement of this
congress atad the administration sig
nalized a "degree of marked success
witfcou. parallel in the world's his
tory." Undue publicity given present
mistakes, he said,- had advertised the
nation's weakness to the enemy.
"The time for ' flaunting them is
past," he continued. -"This is the
time for universal national sympathy
and. solidarity. My appeal now is to
my colleagues on this side to stand
firmly against Influences calculated to
mislead us, and I appeal to my col
leagues on the other side of this cham
ber to thrust, back the evident rising
tideof partisanship."
Would Have a II of a Time.
The Republican leaders purpose, he
reiterated, is to elect a congress out of
harmony with the president.
"What would happen to the Wilson
administration if th-Republican par
ty should have control of the next con
gress?" he asked. "If I -were to adopt
the use of Billy Sunday classics the
president would have a hell of a-time."
In conclusion the Missouri senator
presented statistics of what he termed
were partisan appointment of state
war committees. In New York he said
a Republican governor appointed 82
Republans and three Democrats,
while in Ohio a Democratic governor
named 18 Republicans and ten Demo
crats. In California the Republican
governor he asserted named f3 Re
publicans and four Democrats." He
gave the statistics to show, he assert
ed, that Democratic governors had
been non-partisan in . their appoint
ments while Republican governors

' Sugars, Leathers and Fertilisers were the

Chicago, Jan. 21. The Herald saysj-Tie
oat market got into a rut last week. Many
traders who were bearish at 60 cents were
bullish and long at 77 cents. They were
unable to see any reason why oats should
advance from the present level a mosCh
ago, while at the present timeV-an see noth
ing to prevent prices from advancing to 80c
to $1 in the near future. It is the general
belief that there ia a large scattered long
interest who are waiting for a renewal of
the export and eastern demand to causa, a
big advance. They do not look for a large
movement from the country in the near
future to exceed the demand, and predict
that eastern roads will move out oats
freely as soon as possible. Its understood
British holdings of oats at seaboard are
practically nothing while tHnt government
has a number of steamers at Baltimore and

Pipe liners continue struggling along daily l&ying as much pipe
as possible. The roads still are nearly impassable on account of
the deep snow drifts. It is necessary to dig the snow from ihe
ditches before pipe can be laid. Twelve hundred feet more was
put in Friday. To add to the already great trouble of the workers
the sides of the ditch already dug are beginning to cave in the
sandy soil north of Arkansas City. .
