Kolchak Executed
LONDON, Feb. 13. News of, the ex
ecution of Admiral Kolchak, former
head of the all-Russian government
has been officially confirmed. He and
on(5 of his ministers, M. Pepeliayev,
were shot at Irkutsk at five o'clock on
the morning of February 7.
The revolutionary committee at Ir
kutsk decided at 2 o'clock in the morn
(ing that the two officials should be
executed. Members of the committee
then shot the victims quickly fearing
attempts at resistance.
It has not been explained why the
acimirai ana ai. repenayev, who was
i premier and minster of the interior of
the cabinet formed last November,
I were allowed to fall into the hands of
the revolutionary committee. Agents
of the allies are attempting to learn
the reasons and places the responsi

Three generals, 200 other officers.
3,00 soldiers, 100 guns, four armored
trains and great quantities of material

chak became dictator and military
ihead of the all-Russian government at
i Omsk on the downfall of tho "direc
j lory," Iho first all-Russian govern
iment, November 18, 191$. Early In
i Nvomber, last, the successes of the
Bolsheviki along the trans-Siberian

and begin his retreat eastward, Iho
, government finally establishing its
(seat at Irkutsk. In the following
I month. Kolchak retired as commander!
in chief of the all-Russian army, ap
pointing the Cossack commander, Gen

He was taken by revolutionary forces
last month. There have been many
roports of his assassination, culminat

ADVISED By BIKER!
America Is Only Creditor Na

rupt He Declares,
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 13. Consolida-1
lion of the war debts of all nations in
volved in the world conflict, as Avell
as outstanding trade balances which
would provide international obliga
tions guaranteed by all powers involv
ed, was advocated by John H. Arnold,
of San Francisco, speaking before the
United States-Mexican trade confer
ence here yesterday. Mr. Arnold, who
is a representative of the American i
banKing association, urged that an in
ternational clearing house be estab
lished as an adjunct to his plan.
Ho declared an international bank
ers' conference should be called im
mediately and that commercial men of
all nations be invited to send repre
sentatives. He said such a conference
should provide measures for standard
izing currency and for the elimination
of exchange fluctuations.
"The United States today stands in
a saa and undesirable position, being
the world's greatest creditor with her
customers bankrupt," declared Mr. Ar
nold. "There Is no question that all
nations owing war debts will eventual-1
ly be able to pay with the exception
of Germany, which cannot pay in full!
and must have her indemnity obliga-J
lions reduced. The big question at
present is re-establishment of confi-J
dence and the equalizing of exchange'
fluctuations. As the world's leading
creditor the United States must do
the logical thing and call a creditors',
j meeting, receive and analyze debtors'
i statements, extend now credit and
give time and even reduce debts if,
necessary. An immediate meeting of
i bankers throughout the world should
'be held to study the resources and Ha-!
; billlies of all nations concerned. j
i "I have reason to believe If tho
United Stales should take the first
step, England would follow
l "In addition I believe the United
I States federal reserve system should
I be internationalized." i
Mr. Arnold closed his address pre
dicting that unless broad, comprehen
sive action was taken, immediately lo
restore public confidence, the world
would be "ruled by anarchy."
Endorsement of Mr. Arnold's views
will be argued at the meeting tomorrow.

LENGTHY CONFERENCE (11
CALLED BY OFFICIALS (
Wilson Meets Representatives 111
of Workers on South Portico hi
of White House III
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. An 'un- IwH
terable" decision in the railroad wage
controversy was made today by Presi-
dent Wilson in conference with repre- iffl
sentatives of the brotherhoods. The Rf
president said the government's policy
was "based on justice to all interests" ffill
The president's decision was not nul
announced at the White House. Offi- IHI
cials said It was "a decision containing 11
a propsal." From this it wa3 assumed 11
that the president had refused to !
grant general wage increases, but had (11
made a counter proposition to the lll
men. 11
The brotherhood men would not say 11
what the proposal was, Timothy Shea, 11
acting president of the Brotherhood of IH
Fireman and Enginemen, announcing 11
that they would make no statements 11
today. -JH
The While House was expected to M
Issue a statement later in the day. '1H
Meantime there was no Intimation
whether the president had offered a Hfl
substitute for an increase in wages in
Tight on tho high cost of living, or 11
whether ho asked the workers to de- a
lay pressing their demands until the H
railroads were returned to private u
ownership March 1. 1
B. M. Jewell, president of the rail S
way department of the American Fed- 1
raiion of-Labor, nntfbunced. that the J
president's proposal would have to be (.1
"put up to the men" before any an- if
' nouncement could be made by the m
'union representatives. m
Three Are Present in
Besides Mr. Jewell and Mr. Shea HI
E. J. Manion, president of the Order u
of Railway Telegraphers.was present Jjj
at the conference. The president met h
the representatives on the south porti fl
co of the Wliite House and read a lf
statement which he had prepared jjjj
after a study of the report on tho wage H
negotiations presented to him by Di-
rector Gejneral Hines. The conference In
lasted about 15 minutes. The presi- IX
dent was in his wheel chair. jl
Mr. Shea immediately notified the M
other union officials who have been
conferring with Mr. Hines, advising &j
them to call a conference to consider m
the presidnet's statement. He in til-
cated that the conference would con Uj
sume .most of Che day and might be fl
continued tomorrow He said there Bj
was no doubt disposition on the part jjj
0 fthe union men to act hastily and vj
that they desired lo make a complete S
examination of the president's state- ml
meht before reaching a decision. m
Won't Stay Strike j
The president's proposal, whatever eil
it was. was not expected to stay the R3
strike of the maintenance of way em-
ployes called for next Tuesday. m
Secretary Tumulty declined to say few
whether the president had refused spo- ft
clfically the wage demands saying, k1
"that everyone wants to settle tho A
strike," and that the brotherhood uj
chiefs should have an opportunity tp
consider the president's suggestion or Q
proposal without outside interference. B
The president's statement that tho S
! government's policy was based on jus- K
Itice to "all interests," is in line with g.
1 the final word presented to the union Rj
'leaders by Director General Hines at m
' the last conference with them. IfjH
, Mr. Hines was understood to have fl
Hold the men that with the return oi '1
the roads to private control under thf k; H
new railroad bill an impartial Iribiina' J. H
for consideration of their demands :; H
would be created. K H
Mr Hines was understood to have S H
suggested lo the president that if an t H
Increase in pay were granted the men . H
i the roads would seek an increase in d H
freight rates, which avouUI mean in f H
creased living cosls. Inasmuch as the f H
unions were pressing strongly for i h H
reduction in living costs officials sait I H
there reason tobel!eve that the pros ! H
ident had employed this in his answci P H
lo the union spokesman. j H
When the railroad men reeled the H
president they told him he was look H
ing very well. H
"I have just been shaved," said tlu H
president, "that helps a bit." H
The president, sitting in his wheel RH
chair in a corner on the portico HI
wrapped in a blanket, shook handi DM
with the men when Secretary Tuuiul M
ly presented them. They stood ui M
throughout the conference with theii SH
overcoats on, but their hats in theii f H
hands. The president pressed then iH
to put their hats on, because of the !
dampness, but they refused. JH
After reading his statement, the pres
ident asked them to give considera
tion to his suggestion and they prom
ised to do so. Ill
