Adopted Stipulating Ciller
Purposes of Party.
MOSCOW. Dec. 23. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Sharp debate took
place today at the meeting or the
All-KufiKian communist conference
when the party took up discussion of
the soviet governments change In
economic policy.
Leo Kameneff, president of the Mos
cow soviet, and M. Bogdanoff. chair
man of the soviet economic council,
ppoke in favor of the new programme
which was oppoRed by M. Larln. noted
bolshevik economist, on the ground
that industrial trusts minht be formed
by consolidations of industries, al
lowed in the new propramme.
He urged that this course would
mean too much autonomy In business
enterprises and might become diffi
cult to handle. s
Efforts to deviate from the leader's
programme proved futile. A resolution
stipulating that the chief purpose of
the party was to unite workers and
peasants and perpetuate nationaliza
tion of industry and transportation
was adopted.
DKATII Ol' SOCIALISM SEEX
Clinnse in Husslu Said to Forecast
Abandonment of Principle.
WAHHINGTOX. D. C. Dec. 23.
Abandonment of socialism in Russia
is predicted by recent changes In the
economic policy of the soviet gov
ernment, according to a review of the
situation in that country on the basis
of statements in the soviet-controlled
press, issued tonight by the commerce
department.
A new economic policy, the depart
ment said, is being evolved by the
bolshevist leaders, lightening the re
strictions of communism and aiming
at the partial re-establishment of pri
vate trade and industry and at in
creasing the Incentive to production.
Communistic management of Industry
In Kussia. it added, had resulted in a
Kreat decline of production .and a
general disorganization of economic
life. Lenine In a speech in October
recognizes the defeat of communism,
according to the department, and Is
quoted as saying:
"The substance of our new economic
policy is dictated by the recognition
of the fact that we have suffered a
powerful defeat and commenced a sys
tematic strategic retreat."
The main features of this new pol
icy, the department reported, include
the partial restoration of freedom of
trade In agricultural products; aban
donment of the practice of unre
stricted requisition of labor and the
substitution of a fixed labor tax;
abandonment of uniform wage for
employes of the same grade In enter
prises operated by the state and the
substitution of compensation accord-,
ing to the service rendered; leasing
to private Individuals of certan in
dustrial establishments hitherto con
trolled by the state; and enterprises
still operated by the state are to
adopt commercial principles, pa ing
private producers and other state en
terprises market value for materials
and selling their product at market
value.
JOCKO, pet monkey belonging to
Mr. and 'Mrs. Walter Watts, 839
Commercial street, set the house
afire early last night during their
absence, turned the house topsy-turvy
trying to ;et away from the smoke.
I and atoned for hts' monkey-business
by attracting the attention of neigh
bors to the fire before it had gained
much headway..
Life In an occidental dwelling is a
monotonous existence for a young
monkey whose 20 fingers Itch to be
clinging to swaying branches. There
are few furnishings designed for ths
use of monkeys here in America, and
as a result Jocko had hunted the
house over time and again without
finding a decent tailhold. He was
a disgusted monkey when he finally
decided that tails were passe, but he
couldn't get rid of his. The puzzle
of existence sank deep wrinkles in
his forehead.
Pet Becomes Bored.
Restrictions placed upon his activl
ties rankled bis simian brain. He tired
of watching white, hairless monkeys
walking upright, with their lower
hands In coverings as though they
were ashamed of them. For . six
months he contemplated them and
their household before he decided that
he was infinitely their superior, and
it was then that he made up his mind
to have a hot time in real old jungle
fashion the first chance he got.
He got it last night about 6 o'clock,
when Mrs. Watts left him alone in
the house. He was in the living
room, chained to keep him out of mis
chief. Mrs. Watts took pity on the
monk and left the gas heater burning
In the kitchen to keep him warm.
Chain Is I nfnstrned.
She had no sooner left the house
than Jocko loosed himself. He was
a pleased monkey when he found
himself alone, with no other monkeys i
of different tastes and habits to con
trol his actions. He would have his
fliog. A broad monkey grin that ex
hibited a fine set of teeth lighted his
usually serious countenance as he
meandered into the kitchen.
"Oosbula mgonnur," he muttered.
Literally translated, Darwin alleges
that statement to be: "Darned funny
looking monkey."
It was warm, radiating heat for
several foet. And it had a tail. Joko
fondled the tail with four eager
hands. He wrapped his own tail
about it. Although It waB covered
with metal of some sort, still it was
a tall, and the fire had warmed it
until its very touch thrilled Jocko I
to the black finger tips. The thing
was a queer look'ng sort of monkey,
but Jocko was lonely, and even a
gas heater with a tail was better
than strajige, god-like monkeys who
had none.
Hot Fight Begun. "
"Sklttrun sputoowoo." he gently
b"gged, trying to persuade it to ac
company him back to his lair in the
living room. The monkey wouldn't
budge an inch. Again Jocko repeated
the magic words of the jungle, but
the thing was indifferent. Jocko
could Btand love or hate, but Indif
ference nettled him.
"Doggone your Independent hide,"
he roared, angry now, and his beady
eyes glittering savagely, "I'm going
to play with you in the other room
if I have to drag you in by the tall."
He seized the other monkey by the
tail, struggling and tugging. It spat
and sputtered at -hjm with shafts of
flame, but Jocko was persistent it
could not bluff him. He dragged It
from the kitchen.
Fire Catches Carpet.
One of its feet caught in a rug and
It spluttered some more. Jocko gave
the tail another yank. It fell over
on its side. Then ensued such a fuss
that Jocko leaped to the back of the
chair to get out of harm's way. The
upturned monkey spat flame onto the
carpet. The room filled with smoke
that stifled him.
"Gosh, I must have pulled the monkey-devil's
tall," he chattered, as he
rushed into a bedroom where the air
seemed cleaner.
Still the other monkey spit fire.
The smoke became denser, choking
Jocko until he raced blindly from
room to room in his efforts to escape.
He turned everything movable in the
house topsy-turvy and every-which-way,
but still the monkey-devil pur
sued him. In a last desperate effort
to escape he dashed up the curtains
of the front windows, hammering
on the panes and chattering with
fear. The noise attracted neighbors,
who rushed to a box and turned in
an alarm. When engine 14 firemen
forced open the front door Jocko
met them, dancing with pain and
still chattering with fear. In his
wild dashes to and fro the flames
had singed his breast, head and arms.
He seemed overjoyed that the over
bearing monkeys had returned to
rescue him from the .evil monkey
spirit which he had aroused.
Damage was confined to the car
pet, according to Fire Marshal Day,
and probably will not exceed $10.

MONTREAL, Dec. 18. (Special.)
Fred K. Beauvais, the guide who was
named as co-respondent in the divorce
suit brought by James A. Stillman
against Mrs. Anne Urquhart Potter
Stillman, probably will take the wit
ness stand when the special commis
sion to hear testimony convenes here
next month, and will deny the allega
tions of the hanker, both as they re
late to Mrs. Stillman and to the pa
ternity of Guy Stillman. F6Y the
present Beauvais is refusing to talk
about any angle of the suit.
"I am playing a silent game," he
said. "I am gambling. Life is a gam
ble and I do not want to be caught in
any traps."
Country Clubs Are Plaanrd.
Beauvais said that when the suit
has ended he will launch a scheme
which includes the organising of
country clubs, principally for dry
Americans who want to get into
northern Quebec. -
He said that he had already ob
tained the grant of 700 square miles
of territory from the Canadian gov
ernment, but that he would not begin
his wnrk until the Stillman case has
been disposed of. His project has
been Incorporated under the name of
Resort and Country Clubs, Ltd.
The former guide recently returned
from northern Quebec, and said that
he found the people of Grande Anse
and the north country, where the
banker alleges the intimacy between
Mrs. Stillman and Beauvais oaiginat-
ed, ready and willing to tase the
stand and tell of happenings at White
farm, the Stillman lodsre, during the
summers from 1916 to 1919.
"Stillman better not show his face
in Grand Anse," said Beauvais. "There
are still a few people there but they
have heard of the case. So it would
not do for him to show his face
there."
Talks Freely About Himself.
Beauvais talked for some time with
reporters in the rooms of the Old Col
ony club, in the Windsor hotel, and
although he refused to talk about the
suit except to declare that the charges
against Mrs. Stillman were false, he
talked freely about himself and his
aims In life.
It seems that in addition to his re
sort and country club scheme Beau
vais has Ideas for capitalizing his
fame In a literary way. He has be
come very much interested In litera
ture and has begun to write a volume
of fishing and hunting stories and
motion picture scenarios which he
says will depict the "true life of the
north." He believes, however, that
the resorts and country clubs project
will be the big money-maker.
The former guide was particularly
anxious that the reporters should un
derstand that he was not the typical
woodsman and guide of the fiction
world, but that on the contrary he is
an intelligent man. fairly well edu
cated and very ambitious.
John F. Brennan and John H Mack,
attorneys for Mrs. Stillman and her
son, have been busy rounding up wit
nesses who are to be called before the
special commission. They spent some
time discussing various phases of the
caee with the Montreal lawyer who
has been retained to conduct the
Canadian end of the defense.
