WILL HELP AUSTRIA Supreme Council Takes Initial Steps Toward Giving Relief to Famine- icken, War-Wrecked Country. s, Dec. 1 Initial measures of relief for Austria were taken by the supreme council today after that hody had heard a lengthy presentation of his nation's difficulties presented by Dr. Karl Renner, the Austrian chan- cellor. Tt was decided, as a first step in relieving the ftAustrian food short- age, 30,000 tohs of food should be dis- patched to Trieste, to be shipped thence into Austrian territory. The sgeneral opinion expressed in the council was that the co-operation of the United States in the Austrian relief measures was absolutely neces- ary and that the credits for the pur- chases ~ which Austria must make ould be accorded only by America. Although it . was officially an- nounced that the health -of Premier Clemenceau was perfectly satisfactory this morning and no bulletin was is- sued; the meeting: of the council was held at his residence. The council took up the question of the desire of Vorarl Berg, the prineipality in the northwest Tvrol, ta detach itself from Austria. Tt was decided to use every means to assure the umity of the principality with Austria as provided for by the treaty of St. Germain. on November 16, the man who furnish- | ed him (Moses) was employed in the ! department of justice,in Washington; | furthermore, that this man was with | Mbses in New York on Sunday, No- vember 16, and that on Monday morn- | ing they went down town and played | Southern Pacific short, clasing out when Southern Pacific dropped three points. They made some money but | they did not say how much. Later Southern Pacific was being played the other way, o obviously they had car- rect information on the court’'s deci- sion in the Southern Pacific oil land cases.” Moses was interrogated by William Tlynn, director of the bureau of inves- tigation of the department of justice, Capt. Burke said, and denied that he was getting his information from a minor official of the department of justice as was claimed or that the lat- ter was getting it in turn from an at- tache of the supreme caurt. Moses, according to Burke, said he had made his deductions on the future move- ments of the stock as any lawyer might have done from the general in- formation on the Southern Pacific case. He denied alsa there was a leak in the supreme court. Caplain Burke said the official in question holds a minor position in the department of justice and that he de- nies he knew anyone in the subreme court who would give out any such iu- formation or that he had been inany such deals as were charged. ‘“"The attache of the supreme court denies also that he had any connection with the affair and there is nothing to show that he did,” Capt. Burke add- ed. However, he said, the investigation will be continued. GASOLINE COCKTAIr S BY THE CELLAR FULL i Or, the Tragic Story of the Man Who Didn’t Know the Tank Was Loaded. i Washingion, Dec 16.—Here is saddest story of the day: A very rich man with a big estate in the District of Columbia has a flock of automobiles and garage ac commodations according. He has been getting niz gasoline by whole- sale. At intervals one of ‘the big tank trucks drives into his place. His garage chief pipes the gasoline into | his reservoir. Sometimes the the gas truck arrives ! late and the driver simply leaves it at the garage for the night. When | the garage boss comes on the | morning he empties it. i This tank truck gave the owner of the place a great idea. There are still places in the wilds of Maryland where bold and lawless spirits can buy standard whiskies. He bought five barrels. Then he borrowed a new tank truck that had never had a drop of gasoline in it. though properly decorated. | Tn a barn outside Baltimore the barrels were emptied into the tank and unhindered by any federal scout it lumbered along the Baltimore pike, came into the district after dark, and went 1ts way. This morning the garage superin- | tendent saw a tank truck standing by the garage.

RED CROSS UNIFORM 1S 1 TO BE FOREST GREEN Washington, Dec. 16.—Forest green | was made the official color of the | ing named Epiphanes, the illustrious, but Wwha' was derisively nicknamed ‘‘Epi- manes,” the Madman. He set out to oppress the Jews, to destroy their faith and set up among them the Greek cult and the worship of their deities. At the command of Antiochus, Jeru- salem was despoiled, the temple dese- crated and heathen rites instituted. The Jews rebelled, and, commanded by Mattathias, the high priest, defeat- ed the Greek legions. A vear of guer- illa warfare followed, during which Mattathias died. His son, Judah, the Maccabee, which destgnation, meaning the Hammer, was given him for the mighty blows he had struck for liberty and his faith, took command of the Jewish armiy, and, aided by his four brothers, defeated in turn the armies of Appalonius, Seron, Gorgjas, Lysias and Nicanor. The victory at Beth Zur in 165 B. C, finished the resistance of the Greeks. Jews Enter Jerusalem. The way to Jerusalem was now open and the Jews entered the Holy City. They overturned the heathen altars, destroyed the idols, purified the tem- ple shrines, and on the 25th of the month Kislev, exactly three years after it had been profaned, the temple, amid the rejoicing of the people, was re- dedicated to the worship of the one God. From this the festival iy called the Feast of Dedication. The celebra- tian lasted eight days, after the man- ner of the dedication of the templc of Solomon. There is a legend, according to which the celebration grew out of the fact that when the Nir Tomid,” or the perpetual lamp. was ta be relight- ed in the temple, only a small cruse of the sacred oil could be found. It con- tained an anount usgally used in one day, but miraculous it lasted eight days until a new supply ‘could be ob- tained Mental Murder Charge Against Former Convict Evansville, Ind., Dee. 16.—Robert Millstead is to be tried at Morganfield, Ky., a few miles south of here, on the rare charge of “mental murder,” the commonwealth attorney of Union county announced toda Millstead, a paroled convict, is alleged to have driven to death, with fcar as his wea- pon, Robert Morehead, a Union coun- ty farmer, who committed suicide on Dec. 7. The ccmmonwealth attorney says he will seel to prove that Mill- stead posed as a federal officer, and told Morehead he would disgrace him by exposing his illegal conduct.

GLOOM IN KENTUCKY How (o Dispose of 38,000,000 Gallons of Whiskey is Troubling Blue Grask State Owners. Louisville, Ky Dec. 16 Watching one of their last remaining hopes for a brief “wet” spell go fluttering away by the decision vesterday of the federal supreme court upholding the war time prohibitian act, Kentucky distillers and former saloon proprietors today apparently were deeply troubled.
