enemy's base of operations at the
Kadish and Onega fronts.
Allied positions on the Onega
front near the village of Pechura
were attacked by the enemy yester
day. This attack was centered on a
Russian naval brigade which held its
positions, inflicting heavy losses
without apparently losing a man. On
the Vologda railway the bolshevists
have, for the past three days, kept
up a strong artillery fife and have
brought an armored train into ac
tion. Little damage, apparently, was
done to the allied positions. On the
other hand, an allied shell struck an
enemy barracks, doing great dam
age. Advance On Snowshoes.
In this sector allied forces ad
vanced on snowshoes ' over soft
snow a few days ago. Beneath the
snow was an unfrozen swamp and
the men often sank into the mud
up to their waists in spite of their
arctic footgear. The battle with the
elements makes the fighting here
very difficult.
Further evidence that the bolshe
viki are mutilating allied wounded
and dead came to headquarters to
day in a report from Lieut. Col.
Corbcrly, who was in command of
American forces in the vicinity of
Shenkursk oNovember 29. Amer
icans were the victims, according to
the report. A patrol of 60 American
soldiers and two officers was sur
prised early on September 29 by a
force of about 700 bolsheviki. Seven
Americans were killed and seven
others were missing after the fight.
Mutilated With Axe.
Following'is the reportf Lieu
tenant Colonel1 Corberly as to the
conditions of the bodies found after
the engagement, the names of the
men being omitted:
"No. 1. Lieutenant, head smashed
with axe.
"No. 2. Corporal, head so smash
ed with axe that only parts of the
face remained.
"No. 3. Corporal, head smashed
in with axe and arms and legs
broken by blows, apparently from
blunt side of axe.
"No. 4. Private, head smashed
with axe.
"No. 5. Privat, head smashed
and throat cut open, apparently with
axe."
Americans Fighting Mad.
In the meantime the bolsheviki
are carrying on propaganda endeav
oring to prove they treat prisoners
kindly. Late this week an enemy
patrol in the vicinity of Kadish
shouted across no man's land that
they had prisoners to exchange.
American officers went forward to
investigate and at a safe distance
frcm the American troops, the bol
shevists produced two men, one an
American and the other a Scotch
man. Instead of offering them for
exchange they said they would
"fatten and treat kindly" any other
Americans or Scotchmen' who join
ed them. Then they whisked the
two prisoners back into the woods.
The discovery of mutilated bodies
at Shenkursk has brought a new
spirit to the Americana, who are
no fighting mad.
Today the fighting about Kadish
apparently; had ceased except for
spasmodic artillery action. The
headquarters report said: -"The situ
ation is unchanged in ail sectors."
Flu Epidemic Causes
Big Increase in Death
Rate of 46 Large Cities
Washington Jan. 5. The influenza
epidemic which swept, the country
during the latter parf'of last year
caused 111,688 deaths in the 46 larg
est cities and increased the com
bined death rate for those communi
ties in 1918 to 19.6 per thousand,
according to statistics made public
today by the census bureau Total
figures for the country were not
available. - ,
Baltimore with ,26.8 per thousand
and Nashville with 26.4 had the
highest rates of the registration
cities, while St. Paul with 13.9 and
Minneapolis and Granjd Rapids with
14 each had the lowest. Grand
Rapids showed the smallest increase,
the death rate for 1917 having been
13.1.
There were 442,374 deaths in the
46 cities. Deaths from influenza to
talled 69,439, from pneumonia 42,142.
The years' total death rate in New
York City was 18.8 per thousand,
compared with 15.2 for 1917. In
Chicago it was 17.1 against'14.9 the
year before, and in Philadelphia,
where the influenza epidemic was
very severe, it was 24.2 compared
with 17.1 in 1917.
Court Asked to Advance
S. P. Land Grant Cases
Washington, Jan. 5. The supreme
court has been asked by the govern
ment to hear as soon as possible
arguments in proceedings brought to
cancel patents to land valued at $10,
000,000 granted the Southern Pacific
Railroad company.
"The case is of importance," said
the motion filed by Solicitor General
King, "because its decision will
probably materially affect several
pending cases involving a large oil
acreage of great value, and will also
guide the land department in cases
presented to it."
The government claims that in se
curing the patents for the land,
which is part of California naval oil
reserve No. 1, the company con
cealed the fact that it contained valu
able oil deposits. The federal dis
trict court upheld the government,
but the circuit court of appeals re
versed the decision.
Fess Advocates Return
of Railroads to Owners
New York, Jan. 5. Repeal or
radical amendment of the Sherman
anti-trust act, abolition of the inter
state commerce commission and im
mediate return of the railroads to
private ownership under rigid gov
ernment control were urged in an
address here by Representative Sim
eon D. Fess of Ohio at a "non
partisan Saturday discussion" held
unddr the auspice.-, of the Republican
club.
Congress will not be disposed, Mi)
Fess declared, to accept Director
General McAdoo's suggestion for a

shackling" business By removing "un
necessary governmental hindrances
inaugurated in the state of war."

(Contlnurd From Page One.)
any one. In response to inquiries,
Barnes invariably would offer the
explanation that his daughter was
not feeling well.
Friends of Girl.
Sheriff Harlau declared that he
would conduct his investigation
along the lines that there are some
living friends of the dead girl who
know more about the conditions
which prevailed in the Barnes home
than they have yet revealed. Further
than to say that the father was un
kind to his daughter, and that his
harsh treatment of her grew more
severe, following the death of the
wife and mother, neighbors and
friends of the family have refused to
talk. It is believed the girl could
have explained away the mystery
surrounding her mother's deathK but
in fear of her father, her lips were
sealed. Officers working on the case
think it hardly probable that the
girl's secret died with her.
Whether or not shentt riariau ex
pected to discover a confederate in
crime of Barnes', the officer declined
to say.
Fear May Be Motive.
Fear may have been the motive
which prompted Barnes to blow out
the brains of every single member
of the VJohnson household, it was
said. In tenor because li believed
some of his crimes were about to
be revealed, it is thought, the man,
armed with a shotgun, carried the
message of death to five unsuspect
ing persons in tht modest little
home, and then turned the weapon
on himself, frescoing the walls with
his own brains and blood.
Barnes was generally known to
have been in love with Mrs. Jones,
who at one time accepted his atten
tions. Last September the couple
left Onawa together, but later re
turned, and the man incurred the
bitter enmity of the girl's parents.
She was only 20 years old at the
time of her death, -and Barnes, who
was a middle-aged man. was accused
of taking advantage of the girl's
youth. Mrs. Jones was separated
from her husband, it was said, be
cause of Barnes attention to her.
This feature of the case is said to
have increased the bad feeling of
the girl's parents against the man
they held responsible for the down
fall of their daughter.
Hears Woman Is Against Him.
Several days ago Barnes began to
realize that he would tiever again be
a welcome visitor in the Johnson
home. He complained bitterly, and
repeatedly was heard to threaten the
Johnson family. A short while ago
someone told him that Mrs. Jones
had turned against him. Whether
he was disappointed in his love affair
with the girl or he feared' that she
would reveal some secrets he had
confided to her, which impelled him
to commit the murders of Friday
night, opinion is divided among resi
dents of the neighborhood.
Unconfirmed reports are being cir
culated that Mrs. Jones had "told
several persons recently that Barnes
had told her more than any one ejse
concerning the death of his wife nd
daughter. The authorities, however,
have not been able to locate any one
who will say that Mrs. Jones related
the details of her information con
cerning the two mysterious deaths
in the Barnes home.
Key To Trouble?
The sheriff has not been able to
find any one yet who knows the
circumstances of a disagreement be
tween Barnes and Mrs. Jones.
Sheriff Harlau declined to state
whether he would call in from ouP
side of the county assistance in con
ducting his investigation.
The last report of Barnes having
been seen is to the effect that he
borrowed a shotgun Friday after
noon in Decatur. He declared at
the time that he was going to the
island to hunt rabbits. The man is
believed to have gone to within a
short distance of the Johnson house,
where he deliberately planned the
details of his deed. Sheriff Harlau
i of the opinion it was about 7
o'clock when he approached the,
house.
Body Face Downward.
Barnes found Mr. and Mrs. John
son seated in the front room down
stairs, where they had gone from
the dining room a few minutes be
fore. Mr. Johnson first heard foot
steps o.i '.he. porch and is thought
I') I'ave gotten to his feet just as
Barnes walked across the thresh
hold with the shotgun in his hand.
The location of the body indicated
this. It was lying face downward
near the front door. It is believed
Johnson and his wife were seated
side by side engaged in conversation
when they heard the man approach
ing. The altercation between the
couple and Barnes was brief, it is
thought, and Mrs. Johnson attempt
ed to flee from the room when
she saw the lifeless body of her
husband drop at the feet of the in
truder. Instantly .the infuriated
man turned the weapon on the wo
man. She fell dead with a load of
shot between her shoulders.
Shoots Little Boy.
Climbing over the body of the
woman, Barnes made his way to the
dining room, where. Sheriff Harlau
believes, he thought he woufd en
counter Mrs. Jones, whom he loved
and feared. Instead, he found Wil
liam Johnson, the 9-year-old son,
who, frightened by the shots, just
had arisen from the supper table.
Indications also point to the fact
that the man's conversation with the
child was brief. The boy is thought
to have been too frightened to re
spond to questions as to where his
Vister could be found. Jle was try
ing to escape through a door lead
ing into the kitchen while Barnes

reloaded the double-barrel gun. The
third shot was aimed at the dimin
utive figure of the child. The boy
dropped across the door sill. The
charge of shot entered his neck
kand the head almost was severed
from the body. 1
Kills Sick Woman,
The authorities think Barnes then
passed into the bed room, where he
found Mrs. Jones and her 3-year-old
son. The woman was ill with in
fluenza. It is thought Barnes en
gaged her in an extended conversa
tion, and succeeded in prevailing on
her that the shooting she heard was
inconsequential. A dressing gown,
which had been thrown across th
table, concealed a bottle ot medicine,
upon which was written the physi
cian s directions to take every ten
minutes. This is taken to indicate
that the woman had been aroused
by the shooting and had gotten up
to inquire its meaning. It is thought
she was persuaded to return to bed
and thoughtlessly threw the gown
over the medicine bottle.
Then Kilis Infant.
Following a stormy interview with
the woman, Barnes is thought to
have been convinced that she was
determined not to acceed to his de
mands. He turned the weapon onlj
her, shooting her in the breast. I he
gun was emptied into the infant.
Both died instantly.
The man then went into the din
ing room, removed one of his shoes,
reloaded the gun, placed the barrel
of the weapon against his head, and
with his toe pulled the trigger, send
ing the charge crashing into his own
brain. His body was found on the
opposite side of the room from that
of the boy.
Barnes lived on the island of about
1,400 acres. He was a farmer, but
devoted much of his time to hunting
and fishing. Though he had but one
arm, he was known as one of the
best shots in the neighborhood. He
did not bear a good reputation, ac
cording to Sheriff Harlau, and it the
time of his- wife's death strong
threats were made to lynch him.
The tragedy was discovered by a
brother of Mr. Johnson, who lives
in Missouri Valley, la. He arrived
at the island Saturday morning on
a visit to his brother.- He drove
from Decatur Friday afternoon to
the island and spent the night with
a friend of the family. With Henry
Gilbert, another friend and neighbor,
at 10 o'clock Saturday morning he
went to the scene of the tragedy
Unable to get a response to his sum
mons, Mr. Johnson opened the front
door and almost stumbled over the
dead body of his brother. Across
the room lay the prostrate form of
the murdered wife.
Mr. Johnson hastened to the
house of a neighbor and telephoned
the sheriff at Onawa who in turn
notified the coroner. The county
officials arrived a short while later
searched the house and found the
other bodies. The coroner ordered
them sent to an undertaking estab
lishment in Onawa. Funeral ar
rangements have not yet been made.
An inquest will be held today.

Coblcnz. Jan. 5. Eighty-eight
German cannon, surrendered in ac
cordance with the terms of the armi
stice, were rejected today by the
United States receiving commission.
The Americans contended that the
guns were of old models and did
not meet the requirements, that
some had been damaged by prema
ture explosions and that others were
lacking in certain parts.
The German commission, which
has been at Coblenz attendingo the
details of the surrendeY of cannon,
airplanes and other war material,
was notified that replacements for
the 88 rejected cannon must be in
Coblenz by January 10.

included two cannon manufactured
in 1873. All the rejected guns, ac
coring to the Germans, were used
on various fronts during the last few
months flf the war.
Soon after the army of occupation
reached German soil, requests for
cannon began arriving from Ameri
can cities, many of these requests
being sent by cable. Among the
guns turned over are two heavy 42
centimeter howitzers, with which,
day after day, the Germans used to
pound Verdun and the region where
the big American naval guns were
located. Nearly 200 caflnon of vari
ous calibers have arrived here, but
so far only a few have been accepted,
as most of them had some missing
parts. It is understood, however,
that the parts have been shipped
from Germany.
Armored Battle Machine.
Among the airplanes being re
ceived is an armored battle machine
which carries six machine guns. The
Germans used this type of machine
to "straf infantry." Several ob
servation planes were among the 110
turned over to the Americans at
Treves. These will be sent to
America. One that will be sent
across the ocean is the first Fokker
used by the enemy on the western
front. It is in perfect condition.
The planes will be distributed among
American colleges and aviation
camps.
One of each type of airplane in use
in the German army will be sent to
Washington to be added to the col
