continues in the Karabagh region, and

Part of the Deniklne fleet in the
Caspian sea has turned bolshevik,

Dect, which is expected at the mouth
of the Volga,. when the ice clears. The
remainder of the Denikine vessels
steamed south from I'etrovsk and are
reported proceeding to Persian ports.
At Batoum, on the Black sea side.
British warships are sufficiently nu
merous to keep Batoum quiet for the
present, but the Georgian government
is so weak and so hard pressed by its
own radical elements that there
seems little hope of successful re
sistance by the Georgians to the bol
shevik troops if they actually move
against Georgia.
The Georgian situation is compli
cated by the flood of Cossack soldiers
end civilians fleeing across the moun
tains ahead of the bolsheviki. Thirty
thousand "armed Cossacks moving
south from Novoross island to Tuaps
are concentrated at Sochi with the
reds pursuing the Georgians in their
front, the mountains on the one side
and the sea on the other. The
Georgians refused to admit the Cos
sacks into Georgia unless they dis
arm, which the Cossacks decline to
do, although virtually starving. The
British have provided a temporary
flour supply to quiet the situation in
the hope of effecting a settlement.

4000 civilian refugees have poured

trains daily to Koti.

taken' to the G. A. R. hall and there

speech. . There appears to'be no other
course than to grant the defendants
a. new trial solely upon this mis
conduct mentioned."

"Fifty Dollars."
O. J. Olhua, Shipyard Worker,
Boasts to Patrolman.
" , J. OIHUS. shipyard- worker, is
Vy convinced today that his vaunt
ed "pull" with the powers that be down
around Second ana Oak streets is a
tlgment of a vivid imagination. When
he was arrested by a motorcycle pa
trolman on the Linnton road Sunday
he boasted to the arresting officer
that his apprehension was nothing
out useless enaeavor.
"It won't do you any good to ar
rest me Because j. can get off in
municipal court; here, take $1 and let
it go." he is alleged to have told the

deaf ears, and Oihus was among those
present when the speeders were
vained up yesterday morning before

ficer told the court how Oihus had
bragged of nis "pull" with the depart
ment and of his expressed determi-
, nation to escape without a fine.

witnesses is all a-lyin , your honor,'

plaining witness against H. Tobin,

some, for you seem to be keeping
them company in that respect." coun
tered Judge Rossman, as he dismissed
the charge against Tobin. The testi
mony developed that Tobin and
Greenblat had been partners at one
'f
a meeting' of delegates from all sec
tions of the county and committees
were named to make preliminary ar
rangements. John J. Rudd of Port
land, state secretary for county work,
