Russia Agrees
To U. S. Control
Of Food Relief
Obstacles to American Work
In Harmony With Soviet
Government to Aid Starv
ing Smoothed Away. .
By Th Atoelu Pr.
Riga, Aug. 14. Control by the
American relief administration of
iood distribution in the famine dis
n( Rnia was asreed to in
l I 1 V. L J v. ' "
i rinciplc this afternoon by Maxim
Litvinoff, representative of the so
ict famine relief committee. The
agreement was reached in negotia
tions with Walter Lyman Brown.
European director of the American
relief administration, which began
here Wednesday.
Metods of applying American
control, local administration and
other details were not taken up. but
or in be considered at a conference
,to be held next week. '
Following the conclusion 01 to
day's meetitng there appeared to
h nn insurmountable obstacle to
th American relief administra
tion from working in harmony with,
the soviet government and a Russian
nonpartisan committee on foreign
relief.
M. Litclnoflf also accepted the pro
posal that the American relief admin
istration be given sanitary control in
the famine district in order to guard
figainst cholera, in case such author
ity is asked. He also guaranteed
personal safety and freedom of com
munication to American relief work
ers, together with equal priority with
Russian famine relief organizations,
with regard to transportation. The
soviet authorities are to pay trans
port charges from ports to inter ior
destinations.
The main point of. cpntest now .ap
pears to be the apprehension of the
bolshevikl that the Americans might
place' active political opponents of
the soviet into posts where they
would control the Russian commit
tees upon which the work of actual
distribution of American food would
fall.
Socialist Party
v In Need of Funds
Creditor Pushing Organiza
tion Hard $20,000 Needed
To Meet Obligations.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug.. 14. The socialist
party is in financial straits. Not only
ts the national organization in debt
$21,000, but it must get $20,000 quick
ly to satisfy some of !ts pressing
creditors. The national convention
recently sent out an appeal to mem
bers to the effect that the party's
""credit was t'absolfjtcjyi exhausted.";
An appeal was sent out for $20,000,
which was wanted in 30 days. Only
S5.000 has come in. but this has
served to appease creators ana a
fchort extension has been granted for
4h rnmainrW of the sum.
The leaders of the party attribute
its difficulties to the fact that too
many of its members are out of work
and current expenses are too great.
Hence the large headquarters in a
residence at 220 South Ashland ave
nue, which cost $30,000, but not paid
for, no longer contains a staff of 25,
but only eight, headed by Otto F.
Branstetter, business manager.
An analysis of elect'on returns
shows that the party is not progress
ing as it did in 1904when it made a
huge jump from almost nothing.

' London, Aug. 14. If ' you want

" You may remember Rustchuk
from the war news. It is a flourish

Crossed the river and took it one day.
Two or three days later the Bulgari
ans cut off the fresh Roumanians
and killed or captured all except a
few who escaped by swimming back
to the Roumanian side.
.' Now many of the best society
folks in Rustchuk wish the Rou

' The farmer government of the
province of Rustchuk has just enact
ed new legislation, telling the city
folks in Rustchuk how to dress and
how to act. The farmer majority
says that it is only trying to dis
courage extravagance and make the
town dandies, male and female, bear
the cost of government. The Rust
chuk city folks say the new dress
edict is only one ep!sode in the

Another Witness
Discovered In
Kennedy Murder
Illinois Man Tells of Seeing
Arthur Burch on Train
With Shotgun in
Case.
Chloago Tribune-Omaha Bee laed Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 14. Coincident with
the discovery of a double-barreled
shotgun on a beach at Ocean Park,
Cal., which may have been the weap
on with which J. Belton Kennedy,
Los Angeles broker, was slain, a new
and important witness in the case was
found last night.
This witness gives damaging testi
mony against Arthur C. Burch, held
with Madelynn Obenchain as the
guilty parties in the slaying. The
witness is Former Justice of the
Peace C. H. Bartlett of Evanston, a
suburb.
On July 21, according to Mr. Bart
lett, he was riding on an elevated
train down town. At the' Noyes sta
tion Burch got on the tram. He car
tied a black handbag, a new suit
case, a fishing rod and a gun case
made of canvas.
The gun case was of the variety
commonly used to carry shotguns.
There was a gun in the case, Mr.
Rnrtlntt flpr1ar Mrs William A.
Burch, mother of the accused lad. J
declares an ot uurcn s Runs are at
his home in Evanston and that he
did not take a gun with him on his
trip to California.
Going on Fishing Trip.
Mr. Bartlett further declares that
Burch met an acquaintance on the
train, and that that acquaintance
said:
"Going out of town?"
Burch answered, Mr. Bartlett
says:
"I'm going out to Colorado on a
fishing trip."
According to dispatches from Los
Angeles, Burch while en route there
met Mrs. J. M. Warren, wife of
a Santa Barbara (Cal.) banker, on
July. 22.
"Mr. Burch told me he was on his
way to Los Angeles to help a
friend in trouble," she told District
Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine.
"He didn't make any threats, but
said that the friend, who was a
woman, had 'befriended him' and
that he would do anything to help
her."

Defense of Man
Held as Slayer of
Priest Crumbles
Tide of Circumstantial Evi

Sweeping Away Alibis--Girl
Denies Statements.
San Francisco, Aug. 14. A formal
charge of murder loomed out of the
tangled skein of grewsome circum
stances developed by the police
aeainst William A. Hightower, an
itinerate baker, in the 60 odd hours
since he led a party of six at mid
night Wednesday through the fog to
the grave of the murdered priest of
Colma, the Rev. Patrick E. Heslin.
Hightower's calm, cynical self-possession
of the past two days changes
to restlessness, irritation and nervous
agitation as the relentless flood of
circumstantial evidence seemed to all
but engulf him, sweeping away bits
of his story upon which his defense
mainly seemed to rest.
His strongest point, the alibi of his
movements on the night of August
2 when the priest was called forth
upon an errand of. mercy, but to meet
a violent death, crumbled when Miss
Doris Shirley ' appeared at police
headquarters voluntarily,'- and denied
Hightower's statement that h -had

To this rift in his defense-was .add

for. ransom of the priest) is thc.same

"The Wirth government may fall;
another with more reactionary ten
dencies may be formed and another
crisis reached between France and
Germany."
The matter, however, wa3 not so
pressing, M. Briand concluded, that
it might not be postponed until the
next meeting of the council. -All
the delegations agreed to this sug
gestion. Harvey Active.
Marshal Foch's military commit
tee, after it had been decided to
maintain military control in Ger
many, was entrusted with the task
of deciding how much control was
to be exercised, whether by commis
sions on the spot,' as now is the
case, or otherwise."
Ambassador Harvey- took a more
active part in the three hours' meet
ing of the council this morning than
at any session since the deliberations
were started, being asked for his
opinion or taking part in the discus
sion of practically , every question
brought up, as America was di
rectly . interested, especially in the
Russian and Austrian situations.
At this session the council de
cided upon the makeup of the. in-;
ternational famine relief .commission,
which will deal with the famine sit
uation, in Russia. This commission
will not be merely .inter-allied, but
Sweden, Denmark, Norway and
other neutral countries will be asked
to join. The nucleus will be formed
by the entente .countries and the.
United States, each , to appoint
three .delegates.
Concerning the diplomatic situation
created by the undertaking to feed
famine-stricken Russia, it was agreed
the commission will have absolutely
an official, character arid that such
conversations as are engaged in with
the ..Soviets must. be. limited strictly
to humaritarian questions. .
Financial aid for Austria was con
sidered next. In this connection a
i esolution ' was adopted urging the
American congress to hasten pas
sage of legislation which, it was
stated, would enabla the Austrian
financial relief plan to be put into
operation.

and 12 quarts of whisky Ecorse, m

Dutiable liquor brought in from ;
