Todd, who admitted that as a bootlegger he is a first-class horse dealer, ponders the misfortunes that led him to invest $3150 in contraband whi.sky, there is one thought that must stab him like a dagger. According to those who know, just before Oscar Lund la declared to have deposited his $100 deposit on the 45 eases of demon which Todd: had stored like cordwood in his basement at 715 Kast Couch street, Todd was visited by a Portlander, who, as he himself tells the story, must be nameless: "Say. Todd, I'll give you $4800 for the entire bunch and take it away to night," he said to Todd, who had many times figured over his prospective pro fits, for, as Todd, himself, says, "I wasn't going to bootleg a.s a regular thing. 1 was just going to make this wad of coin and then get into busi ness." Hull of Bills ESxklkttel. The caller flashed a roll of paper money, just as Lund is alleged. In Todd's story, to have appeared. Lund raised the price to $4950 and deposited $100 cash. "That let's me out," said the first caller, who departed- Federal authorities are much Inter ested in the charge made by Todd that one of his midnight callers represented himself to be a Federal officer, but they are just as much Interested in the fact that Todd eannot identify the "Federal officer' Inasmuch as Todd was tiuite sure he could several days ago, they wonder if, maybe, Todd's total cash loss in not auite as bad as he was afraid it would be And then Todd will have to press a felony charge against the quintet of "federal" burglars, who robbed him of his ill-gotten, but well-paid-for booze, in order to make his revenge good. Three Are Rrlraned. "Which indicates to the authorities that Todd la apt to make a prolonged call in jail himself as a bootlegger self confessed. "But it'll be worth it, if they soak these guys," tiuoth Todd, who lost his toddy. Oscar Lund, one of the men accused by Todd of stealing the liquor, was re leased from the County Jail yesterday on bail of $5000. Lonnle Puntley hoped to be out by today, having had his bail reduced to $2500. R. W. Heter ly, a third man implicated, is out on $5000 bail, and J. K. Pomeroy was re leased on his own recognizance. HEIRESS CONTESTS LOAN Control of $500,000 In Property Itinlits Sought. SAX FRANCISCO. Fighting to win back the control of more than $500,000 in property rights in Contra Casta County which she assigned to B. H. j tiffins, a banker and lawyer of this city, for a loan of $60,000, Kdith Wilbur, a wealthy young landowner, iss eeking to have Superior Judge B. Crothera fix an equitable amount for the debt now owing. Miss Wilbur, who is associated with George Wall, president of the Richmond industrial Commission, in the sale of large tracts of land of Richmond, Con tra Costa County, declares that she was hard presssed for money on November 3, 1915, and sought the financial assist ance of Griffin, who had been her legal adviser and a close friend of her fam ily. She alleges in her complaint that while she received only a loan of $50, 000, she was forced to sign a promis sory note for $60,000 and to give as se curity 2500 shares of stock In the Har bor Centre Land Company, worth $500, 00O. Griffin,, who is a wealthy land owner of Richmond, denies the allegations made by Miss Wilbur. He asserts that as far back as July, 1915, Miss Wilbur inquired of him if he would loan her S50.000. He. stated at that time he did not think he could raise the amount of money, but said that if such a loan were made it would be at the rate of $2000 on each $10,000 "loaned. He states that after several weeks Miss Wilbur again called at his office, at which time he loaned her $36,480, for which she gave him a promissory note for $45,600, being the rate of interest agreed on, and that on November 3. when she came a second time for additional money, that he delivered to her $13,520, for which she gave him a complete promis sory note for the two loans of $60,000. GOLD MARKET NOW URGED Inflated Condition of World Credit Noted in Bulletin. WASHINGTON. The January bulle tin of the Federal Reserve Board, which has just been completed and sent to the printer, says the restoration of a free gold market under proper con ditions at as early a date as may be feasible is strongly to be desired. A large absolute supply of gold," the bulletin ' says, "does not appear to 'e necessary to the successful main tenance of the gold standard If a coun try occupies the position of a banking creditor holding a large volume of for eign bills and has an efficient banking system. "In the United States today both gold and gold certificates have largely dls appeared from circulation and the re maining currency in the hands of the -people now consists largely of Federal Reserve notes. National bank notes and Tederal Reserve Bank notes." The existence of a generally inflated condition of credit and prices through out the world again is noted and at tention is called to the fact that thus far there has been .lit, lr change in 'the price level. Efforts of business men to atabalize prices can only temporarily have the effect of tending t ohold prices up to theri present level. A return to ward the old level of prices will occur when normal industrial conditions and the free international movement of the precious metals have been re-established. Cniversity Needs Buildings. SEATTLE. Immediate continuation of a construction programme on the University of Washington campus has been urged by Dr. Henry Suzsallo, pres ident of the university, in his biennial report to the AVashington State Legis lature.

CURRENCY PROBLEM LOOMS New Association Held Important Step In Development Relations of Two Great Xations. NEW YORK. In order to create a medium for practical co-operation with American and allied interests in the de velopment of the movement of assist ing the Russian people in the reorgani zation and reconstruction of their eco nomic and national life, representatives of Russian financial, commercial and industrial interests now in this coun try, have created .a Russian Economic League. This new organization is an important step in the development of working relationships between Russia and the I'nited States and other allied powers. Its officers as elected consist of: President A. I. Wishnegradsky. president of the Convention of the Joint Banks of Russia. Vice-President V. N. Baschkiroff, former assistant minister of foyl sup plies under the provisional government: Alexander W. Bebr. vce-president of the Russian American Chamber- of Com merce in Moacow: A. A. Boublikoff, for mer member of the Russian Duma, vice-president of the central war com mittee and chairman of the transporta tion section, member of the executive committee of the All-Russian Congress of Representatives of Industry and Commerce. B. N. Samolienko, chfef commissioner of western front of the All-Russian Zemski Union. Statement Is Issued. At the first meeting of the new or ganization the following statement was issued by the officers and board of directors: The welfare of our native land as well as of the whole world imperatively demands that Russia the largest con suming market for all kinds of manu factured goods 'be reinstated in her political, as well as financial and eco nomic position, in accordance with the plans outlined by President Wilson. For this purpose the fullest develop ment of Russia's producing power is necessary. The country a historic agrl culture should be restored to a new and more vigorous life; her vast national resources mostly hidden away and un explored should be made available ta industry on a much larger scale thaa ever before. Nothing can be done without a great effort by the country itself and help from the outside. This help will have to take the form of expert advice and most Important of all. working capital which alone can stimulate and which in the present impoverished state of Russia must of necessity come from abroad. This is the only way to en able Russia to bear the colossal burden of debt her heritage in the world fight of right and light against oppression and darkness and to meet fully her obligations toward the allies and the United States. Country's Welfare at Ktake. In order to insure favorable resulta from this hard work and a tenfold re turn for the capital invested. Russia should be given opportunity and time for these efforts to ripen and bear fruit In. accordance with the above, the Russian Economic League, represent ing Russian commercial, industrial and financial Interests belonging to differ ent political groups, out united in i common concern for their country' welfare, and believing that they have the right to speak in the name of Ru . sia's trado and industry the most pow erful factor of a country's well being hold that the following programme must be carried out to insure Russia's rehabilitation as a nation: 1. Restoration, with most energetic and broad help from the allies, of pub lic order and law on the baais of re spect for the principle of private prop erty and for the personal freedom of citizens; this being the most important factor. 2. It is of vital importance that prod ucts of Russian agriculture have free access to foreign markets and that the young Russian industry should be given necessary protection. S. The allies and the United States should make allowance for Russia's present condition by agreeing to a rather extended period of gradual pay ments of the Russian debts, most of which were incurred by Russia while fighting: for the common cause. Currency Problem Loom. 4. Some form of stabilized and guar anteed currency at a fixed rate of ex change should be agreed upon and es tablished with the co-operation of the allies and the United State. Russia's normal economic life cannot be resumed without stable currency. i. For the proper development of Russia's Inexhaustible national re sources and for providing the country with an adequate quantity of transpor tation facilities it is of prime lmport- tance that new and easy credits be ex tended to Russia and the international money marketa once again made avail able for the financing of Russian pri vate commercial and induatrlal enter prises. The Russian Economic League con siders it to be its duty to state that it thinks it essential that the voice of Russian business men, as well as that of the Russian political men, be heard at the forthcoming peace conference in order that in the Interests of peace and the whole of humanity decisionu should not be taken which might jeo pardize the commercial Interests of our great country. SOUTHERN STATES GAINING Much Progress Made in Industry of Raising Cattle. WASHINGTON. The livestock in- dustr in the Southern states is pro gressing at a rapid rate. Some of the measures that beet cattle extension specialista of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and the state agri cultural colleges have adopted to en courage a combination of livestock pro duction with cotton growing are de scribed in recent reports from the field. As a result of their activities thousands of pure-bred cattle are being shipped into eevry Southern state and carloada of fat stock are being sent to livestook markets from farms where cotton for merly was grown exclusively. During a recent month the specialists visited 154 farms in 113 counties in the states of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina. South Car olina and Tennessee and traveled 32,5(7 miles to give instructions to farmers and to confer with other extension workers on beef produdctlon. They attended 10 meetings, held 12 demon strations and through their efforts a total of 129 pure-bred bulls. 324 pure bred cows and 1805 grade cattle were placed on farms in the different statea. During the month alao a general con ference was held at Memphis. Tenn., which was attended by state and Fed eral representatives of the Department or Agriculture, directors of state ex periment stations and extension work ers, state agents, veterinarians and others interested In promoting more and better livestock in the South. Among the many duties of the beef cattle specialists is 'to assist with the livestock work in connection with live stock shows and county and state fairs They assist breeders In making selec tions of feeding animate for shows. In arranging judging contests and demon atrations and in securing better classi fications and premiums for exhibits, all of which has been the means of arous ing interest and making livestock ex hibits a more attractive feature at the fairs. The beef cattle specialists from Ar kansas made an exhibit at the Tri-State Fair held in Memphis, in which was shown the beat method of feeding and raising livestock, improved cattle feed ing sheds, feeding bunks and silos were shown, together with a number of in structivc pla.ec.ards giving information about fattening ations for 1000-pound steers and wintering rations for the breeding herd. Farmers were urged to cull their breeding herds at this time of the year and dispose of all inferior animals. Arkansas farmers, particu larly those in the rice-growing sections where there Is abundant pasture and plenty of straw, have been good buyers of cattle from the drouth area in the Southwest. There are extensive areas in Florida, not now being used, which would sup ply grazing for a large number of cat tle, the extension specialists say, l ough the farmers are fast awakening to the possibilities of the livestock industry. It is reported that the holdings of one company alone would carry 20,000 head if completely utilized. Reports from Georgia say that pas tures are good and feed plentiful, par ticularly velvet beans, and that un doubtedly there will be a large number of cattle fed In that state this year. The specialists are continually being called upon to place feeder cattle for farmers in both Georgia and Florida and sev eral large shipments have already been made from the Southwest and other sections. It is estimated that 100 car loads have been brought into Georgia alone from Texas this Fall. Feeding demonstrations are being ar ranged on from 12 to 15 farina in differ ent sections of Mississippi and plana have been mado to conduct them through the co-operation of county and district agents. Special attention will be given to demonstrations in pastur ing velvet beans and velvet beans and corn. Orders have been placed for more than 50 carloads of breeding stock to be shipped from the Southwest to North Carolina and the total number pur chased will undoubtedly far exceed this number. There is also much interest in the purchasing of pure-bred bulls and extension specialists arc planning to hold several consignment sales in the state in an effort to meet the de mand. As a moans of further stimu lating the beef cattle industry a cam paign is being conducted for the bulld- ng of silos and improving the pastures in the state. In South Carolina also the demand for pure-bred stock as well as steers for Fall and Winter feeding far exceeds the available supply. In a number of localities committees of representative farmers, accompanied by specialists, have gone into other states to purchase breeding stock. At the recent dis bursement sale of 24 head of pure-bred attle. -1 of the animals remained in the state, the farmers being anxious to retain them to build up their herds. Arrangements were made by lennes- see stockmen with the Union Stock yards Company, in Nashville, for hold ing the annual sale of the Middle Ten nessee Breeders Association at the yards.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23 Tcstifyinc before the Senate committee Investi gating German propaganda, Archibald Stevenson, of the military intelligence bureau, said today that representatives of the Bolshevik movement already have organized Soviets in the indus trial centers of this country, and that thsir plana contemplate eventual seiz ure of the Government. Mr. Stevenson also said evidence ex ists that the Germans In the United States have begun a post-war propa ganda with a view to exerting an in fluence which would make the peace terms Imposed on Germany less oner ous. He called the committee's atten tion to a recent editorial in the New York Staats 3teikung. which, he said, endeavored to convey the idea that American soldiers overseas had come to regard the Germans in a light other than of enemies. Alleged I'roniiKondlsta timed. Leaders of the Bolshevik movement in this country. Mr. Stevenson testi fied, included John Reed, who. he said, was Consul-General at New York of the Russian soviet government, and Albert Rhys Williams, or New York.

He .told the committee that Hatching Hap good, of New York, was one of the lecturers and that Leonard D. Abbott, of New York, was head of the school for the teaching of radicalism. Money for the Bolshevik propaganda work. Mr. Stevenson asserted, was sent from Ruaais. "The element that is furthering radicalism here is the same element that is fighting American soldiers in Russia." said the witness. "They can be said to be the same, for Reed and Williams are their representatives in this country." Remedy Is Suggested. Aaked by Senator Overman for a remedy for Bolshevism. Mr. Stevenson said he would recommend deportation of alien agitators, punishment under a law specifically drawn for that purpose of Americans wio advocate revolution, barring from the country of ultra-radical publications, and counter propa ganda education. In reply to a question from Senator Overman as to whether Frederic C. Howe. Commissioner of Immigration In New York, held radical views, the wit ness said he believed Mr. Howe's opin ions were "somewhat radical."

The answer to the message, ho as serted, was that the Embassy here would be authorized to pay the money, "if necessary." WILL CONTEST IS BITTER Drugs Saltl to Have Been l"cd to Guin Iarge Kstato. LOS ANGELES. A bitter contest over the probate of the will of the late Mrs. laura V. Trumbower was foreshadowed with the filing of a contest to the will by the 'husband, ltalph Trumbower. Jn the document filed yesterday Mr. Trumbower charges that his late spouse, who died on November 10. l'JIS. leaving an estate of $10,000. did not execute the will of her own free will. He asserts that the will expresses not the desires of his late wife, but that of William N. Ferguson, her uncle, and Mary J. Ferguson, an aunt, who exerted an Influence over her at the time the will was made, on October 29. Mr. Trumbower further alleges chargca that for 60 days prior to the making of the will his wife was "under War restrictions on such commodi ties as coal, and the transfer of large vessels to ocean service, made traffic lighter than during the previous four years. Traffh- through the Sault Ste. Marie locks aggregated $5,ao.S2T tone, the lightest lit four years, with a com bined registered tonnage of 61.100.244. the lowest since 1915. Total passages were 20.610. the lowest In four years. Copper shipments were light In 1918. but Iron ore shipments were unusually heavy. Marine men predict that a new high tonnage record will be established next season, starting with the big grain movement down the lakes in the Spring. They declare that a greater quantity of grain is stored In the holds of ships on the lakes this Winter than ever be fore in the great lakes' navigation his tory. The fourth United States Government lock at Hault Ste. Marie, the largest in the world, was practically completed this season. GOLD OUTPUT DECREASES Srwaril Peninsula Produce $1, i .'.'.' si.s During 1018. NOME. Alaska. Gold production of Seward Peninsula, which includes Nome. for the season of 1918 was only about one-third of the normal output, accord ing to records of the custom-house. The output Is given as $1.139. 868. Frost and water shortages accounted for the decreased gold output. The Winter of 1917 was unusually cold and the lack of snow until the middle of February resulted in the ground being frozen to such depths that all forms of open-cut mining were rendered most dm.'tuit.

Alaska. Because of Alas ka's distance from the military camps of the State, where Alaska soldiers are held, much difficulty is being experi enced by the territorial Council of De fense In securing the release from the Army of those Alaskans for whom posi tions are waiting in the north. The distance to the States concerns chiefly the cost of telegraph tolls. From Juneau the council can use the Washington-Alaska military cable tolls free on official business, but the ques tion has been. Who will pay the tolls on the land messages that go by othtr telegraph lines In the States? Governor Thomas Htggs. now in Washington, has been appealed to for solutiou of the problem.
