AMERICANS TARE
LEADING PART IN
KIEV EVACUATION
.
Place Automobiles at Disposal
Of Poles Arrive in War
saw After Six Days
In Box Cars.
Warsaw, June 16. Americans
took a prominent part in the evacua
tion of Kiev. They turned their
automobiles over to the Polish staff
for ue in feeding refugees, aiding
wounded soldiers and burying cfcad
where there had been fights with
bolshevik raiding parties.
The Americans, among whom was
John Gregg of Portland, Ore., of the
American Relief association, ar
rived in Warsaw today after six
days and nights in captured bolshe
vik box cars. When they departed
from Kiev on June 10 the bolsheviki
were shelling the city and aviator's
were dropping 4ombs.
Just prior to the evacuation,
Kiev's waterworks went out of conV
mission and the electric and gas
plants stopped working. The city's
population was in a terrible state of
confusion and thousands were pre-
vrntot from leaving 'by kck of
transportation. ,
Two American automobiles filled
with Polish staff officers headed the
procossion when the evacuation of
Kiev began. They were loaned by
, representatives cf the American Re
lief association and the American
railroad mission to Poland. A rep
resentative of the railroad mission
estimated todaythat a procession of
vehicles of all kinds was strung
along the highways for a distance of
25 miles.
Near the rear were an officer and
a woman on horseback followed hy a
detachment of soldiers. The officer
was General ,Rydzmigly, the Polish
commander at Kiev, who was ac
companied by his bride of six weeks.
She accompanied the general when
Kiev flipped from the hands of the
bolsheviki. General Rydzmigly, who
had made all plans to defend Kiev
from every side, was the very last
to leave the, city.
Many Poles remained in Kiev as
it was impossible to evacuate theni.
The Americans heard 'the evacuation
order while at dinner in the Con
tinental hotel. The orchestra was
playing and some few of them wore
evenings clothes.
The evacuation started at daylight
and was completed in the afternoon
when General RyHzmigly and his
bride passed through the city's .gate
on the road leading westward and
through which his victorious army
had pranced a little less than five
weeks ago.

PLAN TO MAKE
CHICAGO WOOL
CENTER OF WORLD
Movement of 1920 Clip Would
Be Financed by Windy City
Bankers, According to
x New, Scheme.
Chicago June 17. Steps to make
Chicago the wool center of Ameri
ca were taken here tday at a con
ference of wool growers and bankers
with decision -to name a committee
to place the question before officials
at Washington. The committee will
be appointed by ' Willam J. Will
iams, . president of the Wyoming
Wool Growers' association, who
presided. " .
Under the proposition approved
by the meeting called' by repre
sentatives of the American Wool
Growers association, the movement
of the wbol clip for 1920 would be
financed by Chicago bankers, which
would require $100,000,000 annually.
s Heretofore this has been done by
JJoston banks, who have been com
pelled, it was said, to relinquish
their financial support due "to de
mands for funds from other sources.
It was announced that the plan
was favorably received by Chicago
financiers, who it was- added,, de
sired co-operation and support of
western bankers in the-'extension of
the credits requested. The fund, it was
stated, would be used to carry the
wool through the warehouses, where
the bulk of the product is stored,
ponding better market Conditions.
Senators Hitchcock ot Nebraska,
WalsrTof Montana, Pittman of Ne
vada, Chamberlain of Orenron and
King of Utah joined in ,al:ing the
conference. Conditions in the wool
market, they said, in summoning the
bankers, and growers, were similar
to those prevailing with cotton in
1914, there being neither actual or
speculative demand, with the wool
growers unable to obtain loansv to
finance them awaiting a profitable
market.
The American Wool Growers' as
sociation tonight issued the follow
ing statement relative to today's
mefting: '
"It is fully expected that the wool
market soon will be reopened on a
reasonable basis of values. In the
meantinfe growers will be ab to se
cure loans on unsold woo! from
banks that are members of the fed
eral reserve system. Federal re
stive banks will not fail to redis
count any paper that is presented in
proper form. The whole matter is
to be discussed fully with the federal

Desjg-
mg Ke-
Norristown, Pa., June 17.
George H. Coughlin, father of
Blakely Coughlin, who was kid
naped on the morning of June 2,
today stands Swindled out of $12,
000 with his child still missing, ac
cording to ia sensational story
which Coughlin told Chief of Police
Eiler today. Coughlin offered to
corroborate his statement by pro
ducing a friend who accompanied
him to the spot where the money
was placed and from which it after
wards was found to have disap
peared. The chronology of the manner in
which the $12,000 disappeared reads
like a weird anf improbable story.
Nevertheless the police declare they
believe the father's tale and are pre
pard now to search for a man
characterized as "the meanest
swindler" with whom they have
ever had to deal.
With the revelation that the
$12,000 has gone came additional
facts made public for the first time
by the distracted father. He said
that at first the supposed abductor
of the baby demanded by letter
$6,000 for the safe return of Baby
Coughlin. Coughlin declared he re
plied by demanding the clothing of
rhe child and his picture as a guar
antee J4ie anonymous writer was the
kidnaper.
Two davs later a man terming
himself "the crank" told Coughlin
over the' telephone that since he had
seen fit to spurn his first offer, the
price for the child's,' return had
doubled, and that $12:000 must be
placed in a hotel which "the crank"
designated.
In compliance with these instruc
tions, Coughlin, accompanied by a
friend, drove to the point described,
deposited the currency demanded
and returned home. The child was
to have been returned the following
Tuesday. However, at the time s,et
the child did not appear.

orously protest against discrimina
tion in favor of any other commod.
ity and we wish to express our dis
approval of 'these demand heard
here in which narrow commercial or"
