‘12 . CAR, FAMED IN SHERMAN’S MARCH, - - MEETS END WITH ITS BOOTS ON “REDS” IN AMERIGA AMPERING SOVIET Relief Officer Says Their _ | Activities Will Be Obstacle to Recognition. " By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 18.—The activities of certain organizations in the United States in behalf of Russian relief eventually will embarrass the soviet government in its efforts to obtain recognition, George Barr Baker, a director of the American Relief Administration, declared last night. He returned Wednesday from Russia, where he investigated the ad- ministration’s activities, spending ten days in Moscow. “There are radical organizations in the United States,” Mr. Baker said in a formal statement, “which do not seem to realize that the worst dis- service they can do the Russian peo- ple is to maintain the antagonisms against them in America, and there- by to hamper the natural flow of re- lief funds from the people of the United States. - Recognition Most Wanted. “Any organization in this country purporting to represent’ the present Russian government in relief work in a large way will be discovered, sooner or later, to be causing that Fovernment some embarrassment. What they want most is recognition, and the attac uply put ief Administration 00,000 children daily, he asserted, adding that this number would have increased to 2,500,000 be- fore the end of February. As soon as transportation facilities permitted 5,000,000 adults would be provided with food bought with the $20,000,000 voted by Congress, he said. 15,000,000 Face Starvation. ‘Mr. Baker estimated that about 15, 000,000 Russians were in danger from famine and that 7,500,000 would be cared for by the American relief. The balance, he said, would be looked after by the English relief- and the Nansen relief. He said he hoped the American relief work could be com- pleted by September 1. Published charges that Herbert Hovoer's opposition to certain relief activities was due to the taking over by the soviet of financial interests he had in Russia Mr. Baker termed “subsidized slander. “In 1914,” he said, “when Mr. ¥oover undertook the work of rg- patriating Americans and then the feeding of the Belgians, he resigned his association as engineer in va ous enterprises_and sold "every bit of stock he had in those organiza- tions. He has not since owned any- thing in Russia and has had no chance to acquire anything. Any Fuggestion to the contrary bears the stamp of subsidized slander.” Gold to Buy Seed. Mr. Baker stated that $9,000,000 worth of seed grain had been sent from the United States for planting in Russia out of $12,00,000 turned over to the American relief for that purpose by the Moscow government and the government of the Ukraine. “The Moscow government had so much confidence in us after the con- gressional appropriation was made,” he said, “that they scraped the bottom of the barrel and gave these imlillions in gold to purchase seed grain for them here. No greater mark of confidence could be given, I think.” JOSEPH E. SCHWAB DIES IN NEW YORK AT AGE OF 57 Was Brother of Charles M. Schwab o and One df the Original Car- ; negie Partners.

PORTO RICAN SENATE REJECTS APPOINTMENTS Three Department Heads Named by Gov. Reily Fail to Get Approval. By the Associated Press. SAN _ JUAN, February 17.—The Porto Rican senate today rejected the appointments of three department heads made by Gov. E. Mont Reily and an equal number of other ap- pointees, but approved a long list,of his _apointments. No charges were made against any of those rejected other than that “they do not have the confidence or support of the majority in the legislature.” Among the appointees approved by the senate is Jose E. Benedicto, in- aular treasurer, a member of the unfonist party. The three rejected commissioners include two continen- tals and one Porto Rican, none of *hem being memberg of ghe unionist party. In refusing to approve of the ap- pointment of Charles Hartzell, pfom- inent attorney, to the insular health board, the charge was made that as a member of the governor's recent commission in Washington he had not proved himself to be a friend of Porto Rico. 7 3 The report of the committee on nominations says Gov. Reily pufpose- ly ignored the senate in his appoint- ments. “Nominations such as these,” it #ays, “submitted in a spirit of hos- tile challenge, should not merit our | «consideration or approval.” ——e ACCUSED OF OLD CRIME. ‘Warrant Issued for Murder Which ‘Was Committed in 1874, ROME, Ga., February 18.—Forty- elght years ago Peter Mooney was shot to death In his bed hers, and Yesterday Sheriff Wilson forwarded to Birmingham a warrant authorizing the arrest of & man wanted as the slayer. ‘The crime had long since been for- gotten ‘n Rome except by relatives of the slain man until the sheriff re- celved a letter from a Birmingham at- torney which, it was said, contained the information that the man long ;ou:ht was residing near Birming- am. - ‘The attorney, George A.

Sher- man on his march through Geor- gia from Chattanooga, has vir- tually committed suicide at, Hol- low Rock Junction, Tenn., after more than half a century of con- tinuous service, the road's officials announce. There were no fatalities and no other damage was done when the old car gave too severe a jolt to its cargo of dynamite &nd “dled with its boots on.” For some time it had been used to store ex- plosives at Hollow Rock Junction.

COLD FEET! RS. JOHN MUNRO LINDSAY wad sitting on the ¢dge of her bed at 2 in morn- ing staring Into the dar She felt. old and haggard and d&ls- illusioned. John, tired out from the exhausting evening they had just lived through, slept profoundly. Merriam was dumbly thankful that he could. And vastly relieved that their unexpected guest, Mlle. Jeanne Everett Leslie, was at last quiet. For, though the baby boasted only ten months of life, she had proved con- clusively that she was already what might be termed a “howling success.” During her four hours of frenzied yelling she had subjected her youth- ful hosts to the entire gamut of human emotions. John, being masculine, had shrugged his shoulders philosophically when the fray was over. But Merriam, being & woman, brooded over it. For blissful weeks past the bride had been indulging in rosy dreams of the future. Dur- ing those joyous hours she had felt that whatever else went wrong in the universe was of relative unim- portance. She had a precious secret to buoy up her courage. It had helped her to endure hear- ing about the loss of her father’s for- tune—for hadn't she a far more won- derful treasure coming—a baby! She had even been able to reconcile herself to the agonizing uncertainty about her father's disappearance. For, if he were alive and well, she had an intuitive feeling that he simply must return in time to welcome his coming grandchild. And if the very worst were true—that her father were dead—she comforted herself with the precious thought that her baby could inherit the vast legacy of her father’'s fine personality. She had literally forced herself to ignore the minor ills of this world because they seemed So silly to fret about when one had the great joy of a coming baby before one. But all this had been before Mrs. John Munro Lindsay had had the sorrow to meet Mlle. Jeanne Everett Leslie. For, after her fond parents left the child to the tender mercies of the inexperienced Lindsays, Mlle. Leslie had quickly abandoned all pretenses of company manners. Her wild, inex- plicable weeping had frightened her hosts into believing th:t she was se- riously ill. That the small person’s feet, kickihg so strenuously from the blankets, were the cause of a mild case of colic had not occurred to either Lindsay until Susan Sue, fifty- cleht and disgusted, had rescued the aby. Privately Merriam «still doubted Susan Sue’s diagnosis. ‘She didn’t see how feet sthat looked so red-hot as the baby’'s had looked could have been in the least cold. But whether the child had been cold or warm did 'not greatly mattér. The fact was that an actual living, kicking, screaming, squirming baby- a baby with the back of its head bald and what hair it had disgust- ingly straight and a red hole for a mouth—had temporarily banished a lovely vision of a dimpled cherub with golden curls and roguish eyes and a Cupid’s bow for a mouth, that had dwelt for weeks in Merriam's dreams. So she sat on the edge of her bed and shivered to think of the years and years of such nights as she and John had just spent that were prob- ably stretching out before them. “Only, probably, after a-night or two I shall have to stand it all alone,” she !hnu;ht dolefully. “For, after all, Susan Sue is only.loaned to us and soon we shan’t be able to afford any sort of servant. And John will go out nights to play poker, to | get away from the baby’'s awful yell- ing, and I shall be alone with it. And all day long I'll have those weird bottles to wash and I'd have to cook stuff to fill, and I'll have to push a baby cab around the streets and— oh, oh, why didn’t somebody tell me how perfectly hideous dt is to be going-to-have-a-baby!" By this time she was so sorry for herself that she was cuddled into her pillows weeping. Not as thoroughly as Mlle. Jeanne ‘had wept earlier in the evening, but fairly thoroughly. To be sure, being older, she stifled her sobs. But life seemed very dreadful at that zero hour to a rich man’s much-indulged daughter. Es- specially as she thought how heart- less the poor young man she had married was, to lie calmly sleeping while she was almost drowning in her own tears. d’l‘be clock across the square boom- e erhaps,” she thought tragically, it would be better if the baby and I should both die—" In the depths of all this misery she became aware of a strange sound.s She was too utterly weary to open her eyes, she thought But when she heard John's heartless chuckles, of course, she did! To her amazement she discovered that it was broad daylight and that John was sitting on the edge of her bed holding a strange playfellow in his arms. An angelic being, warm and rosy from her morming bath, cooing from recent food and alto- gether adorable as she shamelessly coquetted with her host. “Little dickens!” chuckled John presently, “think of her making all that fuss last night about a little thing like cold feet!” Merriam sat up -indignantly and snatched the borrowed baby from his arms. “Bless her precious heart!” she croomed, “Merry knows just how her felt! Oh, John Lindsay,” she scolded, “don’t ever, ever in your life laugh at anybody with cold feet! Especial- ly mental cold feet! I had them my- self all night long and most died of them—it's ,the worstest disease in _THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 19%. PARLEY RESULTS | . SPLIT JAPANESE Conservatives Are Uneasy, While Progressives See Goldgn Opportunity. Correspondence of the Associated Press. 'TOKIO, January 30.—Results of the arms conference at Washington have split the thinking element of Japan into two opposings camps, according to a staff correspondent of the Ko- kusai News Agency. The conserva- tive group views the Washington agreements with uneasiness and feels that Japan has fallen a prey to the designs of the United States and European powers. The progressives declare the Washington conference has given Japan a golden opportunity to become one of the leaders in up- litting civilization. ‘This latter school maintains that Japan's future is bound up:.with three problems, what to do with an increasing population, where to ob- tain a food supply and where to ob- tain' raw material.. It is pointed out that flelds of emigration are limited, since many powers bar Japanese. It also said that other nations are dis- inclined to supply Japan with raw materials, owing to . their féar of Japanese influence on the world's trade. The progressives’ reply to thesé questions is a demand .that Japan maintain the friendliest relations with other powers and by peaceful means obtain a hearing for her problems. They even go so- far as | to suggest that an international ar- rangement might be brought about whereby Japan would purchase Mon- golfa and Manchuria from China and settle all these questions for all time. —_— SENATOR REED SUED., Three-Way Division of $25,000 Court Fee Sought.
