bordered on confusion. They abandoned
tanks and cannon. The Soviet forces
assumed the offensive on both fronts.

control.

fourteen committees operating in
Odessa and it is said hundreds are
! being executed daily.

creating loca! Zemstvos which will ex?
ercise farreaching powers. In sign?
ing the law, General Wrangel said he
hoped civil war would soon end and
that the Zemstvos would send capable

Governor Defends Laws
On Women's Work
Denies That Legislation De?
signed to Better Conditions
Can Be Called Paternalistic
TROY, N. Y? Oct. 19.?Governor Al?
fred E. Smith denied in an address
here to-night that eight-hour laws
governing the work of women, and
other legislation designed to ameli?
orate women's working conditions,
could properly be termed paternal?
istic.
"The courts of our country have
come to realize that the care and pro?
tection by the state of women and
children engaged in industry is a pub?
lic health measure, and they do not
agree with Nathan L. Miller's atti?
tude when he holds that to protect the
health of all people engaged in in?
dustry is to coddle them," Governor
Smith said.
Declaring it "just as wasteful from
the standpoint of public health to
starve a woman as to overwork her,"
he expressed the belief that minimum
wage laws affecting women are indis?
pensable.
The Governor discussed the present
law fixing a maximum of 54 hours a
week for women's labor, or nine hours
daily. "I stand with a great many
people who believe that that should
be shortened by law to eight hours,"
he declared.
""Does Judge Miller take the position
that as Governor he would regard all
these as paternalistic legislation? If
he does, he can rest assured that bills
will be sent to him breaking down
?hese laws, and if he maintains a con?
sistent attitude he will be obliged to
sign them.''
Man Makes Own Gallows
in Tree; Shoots Himself
A man believed to have been Karl
Richter, of Tremont, Sullivan County,
N, Y., about sixty-eight years old,
ended his own life in the Palisade
woods, hack of Coytesville, N. J., yes?
terday by tying a halter around his
neck and then shooting himself.
With lineman's climbers the man as?
cended to the limb of a tree, about
thirty feet from the ground. He then
removed his hat and coat and placed
them on an upper branch. He took oif
the climbing spurs and tied these with
a rope to the same tree. He tied a
halter about his neck after adjusting
its end to another limb, and with a
revolver fired a bullet into his brain.
Although the halter broke from the
weight of his body the bullet killed
him instantly.
Jurv Upholds Longman Will,
Giving Widow Only $5,000
A jury before Surrogate Cohalan ren?
dered a verdict yesterday sustaining
the will of Samuel Tremper "Longman,
a paint manufacturer, whose widow
contested the probate of the document,
which left her $5,000.
Mrs. Longman, the second wife of the
testator and many years his junior,
alleged that her husband was not of
sound mind when he made his will?
a condition due to his long-standing
addiction to liquor and drugs. Much
testimony was given to the effecT that
Mr. Longman spent much time on
sprees. Mr. Longman divided his
$1 ",0,000 estate, except the $5,000 to his
widow, between a son and a daughter
by his first marriage.

Again Asks Proof of
Underhandedness
State Chairman Reiterates
Denial of Charges Made
by Republican Leader;
Latter Silent on the Issue
Special Dispatch f? The Tribune
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 19.?W. W.
Durbin, Democratic state chairman, to?
day addressed an open letter to George
H. Clark, Republican chairman, calli'ip
on him again to bo specific in his re
, iterated charge that the Democratic
state headquarters was engaged in an
underhanded campaign,
The letter Is* the latest development
in the controversy which has arisen
over a warning published last week in
a Republican news sheet in Ohio chu?;;
ing that the Democrats were causing
to be circulated through paid house
to-house canvassers stories reflecting
on Senator Warren G. Harding. The
nature of the stories was not specified,
Mr. Clark refused to respond to Mr.
! Durbin's first challenge. The letter
I to-day said:
"You have caused to be issued end
published in your official publication,
The Ohio Republican, and in many of
your Republican newspapers over the
state, a statement headed, "A warning."
"In this you charge the Democratic
: state headquarters is engaged in nn
j underhanded campaign, directed
; apainst the reactionary candidate for
President.
"In a statement issued after yours
came to my attention I branded your
charges as absolute untruths. I said
that, we had no paid emissaries of any
kind in our employ, nor have we spon?
sored any such practice as you allege
? Furthermore, I characterized your as?
sertion that the Democratic committee
' is conducting an underhanded cam
paijrn as false.
"In that reply to your astoundinj
' charge I challenge you to make publii
I the nature of the 'underhanded cam
j paign.' You have failed to do so. Once
more I call upon you, who have pub
licly made the charge, to come out ii
the open and tell the people of Ohio
i Then, you may be sure, I- will repl;
| more specifically to you. Unless yo\
! come out and give the specification
i you must stand convicted before thi
[ people of Ohio as one who, placed o
i the. brink of defeat, hopes to stem th
tide that is rising against him by re
sort to irresponsible charg and ma
licious and willful insinuation."
j Miss Pankhurst Seized
As Enemy to Britain
LONDON, Oct. 19.? Sylvia Pankhursl
' daughter of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst
| was arrested to-day, charged with pub
' lishing seditious literature.
j Sylvia Pankhurst frequently got int
: trouble as a militant agent of the suf
: fragette movement before the war, bu
was little in evidence in the news dur?
ing that conflict, after she was arrested
and fined for holding a peace meeting
in London late in 1916. She came into
prominence again after the armistice
when she was arrested for her part in
the May Day demonstrations of 1919.
She was set free shortly afterward,
however. She has been reported this
year as taking considerable interest in the
affairs of Soviet Russia, and last April
it was reported to the State Department
in Washington that documents purport?
ing to have been signed by her and
promising assistance in spreading Bol?

were found in possession "o? Communist

White Cheers Democrats
National Chairman Says Repub?
licans Are Growing Desperate
George White, chairman of the Demo?
cratic National Committee, who is on
his last visit before election to West?
ern headquarters in Chicago, sent a
telegram of encouragement yesterday
to his associates at national headquar?
ters in this city, in which he said:
"Anxiety has followed confidence
among the Republican ledders. Their
next state of mind will be desperation.
Evidences of certain Democratic vic?
tory have begun to accumulate, until
those who are in close touch with the
Democratic campaign await with per?
fect confidence the balloting two weeks
from to-day. The ascendancy of the
Democratic cause has passed the Re?
publican campaign long since. In Ohio
yesterday I had detailed reports which
assure the state for Cox and Roose?
velt. The same is true of Indiana, and
the border states are as safe for De?
mocracy as Texas. Western Chairman
Doremus turned over his report to ma
to-day, .and they reveal a West and
Northwest burning like a flame for the
League of Nations."

church just before the removal of Fitz?
gerald's body. The reauiem mass was
being celebrated when an army officer,
with drawn revolver, accompanied by
four soldiers with rifles, forced a way
through the throng in the entrance,
marched up to the altar rail and pre?
sented the officiating priest with a
typewritten communication from Great
Headquarters stating that the number
of persons in the funeral procession
must be limited to 100, none of whom
would be allowed to march in military
formation.
Tlje entrance of the soldiers created
a commotion in the crowded church, a
, number of women and children run?
ning toward the altar. Irish Volun?
teers calmed the congregation and the
ceremonies proceeded.
Prior to the advent of the soldiers
six uniformed volunteers composing
i the guard of honor at the coffin with- ?
drew and six others in civilian dress |
took their places. After leaving Pat- \
rick Street the funeral procession took
the road leading to Fermoy, military
lorries accompanying it. Volunteers

1 Logue presiding, and the entire hier?
archy signed a strong resolution de
? nouncing "terrorism, partiality and

Irish government."
The bishops declared "it is not a ques?
tion of hasty reprisals, but of indis?
criminate hate of savages deliberately
wreaked on the whole countryside, with?
out any proof of complicity in crime
by those ostensibly employed to protect
j lives and property."
