WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. Postmas
ter-General Burleson today requested
the Washington State Public Service
Commission to review Increases in tele
phone rates which were applied to mu
niclpalities in that state by companies
under Government control and to give
the public full opportunity for repre
sentation in determining whether the
Increases are justifiable. Protests
were presented to the wire control ad
ministration by officials of- Spokane,
Wash., at conferences held today.
Rate increases amounting to 37.5
per cent in Spokane; 16 per cent in
Seattle, and 21 per cent in Tacoma,
took effect November 15. after the
Washington State Public Service Com
mission had taken the position that it
had no right to regulate rates fixed
by the Postmaster-General.
Postmaster-General Burleson asked
that the commission proceed without
going into the question of its authority
and act upon the rates aa though the
companies were in private ownership.

(Special.) Rev. Joseph Knotts has re
ceived the glad news of the release of
his brother, E. F. Knotts, who was
captured by Villistas in Mexico and
held as a prisoner for about a month.
The ransom paid was 320,000, which
was put up by the mining company in
whicii Mr. Knotts was interested.
It was difficult to get the ransom to
the bandits, as there were so many
other bands operating in the vicinity
and the one that held Mr. Knotts moved
a number of miles each day. The pris
oner was well treated by his captors
and suffered none physically from his
experience.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 23. Freder
lck W. Henshaw. former Justice of the
California Supreme Court, issued
signed statement to the Associated
Press today, denying charges that he
received the bribe of $410,000 in the
famous will case of the James G. Fair
estate and denying any connection
with an alleged "frame-up" in the San
Francisco preparedness day Mooney
bomb cases, as set forth In a report to
William B. Wilson. Secretary of Labor,
published here over the signature
John B. Densmore. director-general of
employment of the Labor Department.
Judge Henshaw's statement, which
was made before witnesses, follows
To the Associated Press: The Fair
case was decided some 20 years ago.
Years after its decision I was re-elect
ed to the Supreme Bench and served
1 years of the 12-year term, resigning
under no compulsion or agreement with
Mr. Older or anybody else. My resign
nation was dictated upon purely per
sonal grounds.
Two Grave Charges Made.
"The charges against me in the re
port of Densmore. special investigator
of the Department of Labor, are two
fold:
First That I Joined with Fickert
In a Mooney "Frame-up.'
Second That I was capable of do
Ing this infamous thing because
had corruptly taken a bribe of $410.-
000 in the ease mentioned.
"I was not and am not interested
In the Mooney case, save as any clti
sen is Interested in seeing exact Jus
tice in the punisn'.nent of a most wan
ton. vicious and unprovoked crlfue. Mr.
Fickert. from time to time, consulted
me, always at his own instance, never
at my own, to tell me his difficulties
in following up Information which
would lead to complete disclosure of
Mooney's guilt.
Improper Practice Denied.
"I did not refuse to see him at his
request end should have felt ashamed
to have refused. But I was an aide
to the bureau of nava intelligence and
advised with that bureau over many
anarchistic, L W. W. and other evil
activities. Not infrequently Fickert
would advise of. information, quite
apart from the Mooney case, bearing
on these matters.
"I never saw an actual or prospec
tive witness in any of the bomb cases.
"I never was in the employ of any
of the big corporations charged with
hounding Mooney to death, and I chal
lenge the pointing out of one word in
all the Densmore report which even
remotely tends to connect me with any
improper practice, much less with be
ing a participant In the frame-up. I
never wrote a Fickert brief or even
saw one until it was printed and cir
culated. Densmore Chargea Summarised.
"The charges of bribery against me
are thus summed up in the Densmore
report:

LONDON, Nov. 23. Dogs and men are
battling in Petrograd for the flesh of
horses which drop dead in the streets,
according to a British business man.
who has just arrived In London. He
escaped from Petrograd early in November.
The Bolshevik government, he said.
has announced since the recapturo of
Kazan, Simbirsk and Samara that they
would have grain enough to feed the
soldiers, sailors and their own parti
sans throughout the Winter. They
would not issue food to any other per
sons. As a result money has lost its
food-buying power and the non-Bolshevik
Russians are In a desperate con
dition. Many Prtxonrra Executed.
AH the wholesale and retail estab
lishments have been nationalized and
by putting Bolshevik committees in
charge of all residences, M. Zinovieff,
the food administrator, lias effected a
complete secret service system of food.
The transport of food into Petrograd is
under close supervision, cutting off tho
last source available to non-Bolshcviki.
Tho friction between Zinovieff and
the Moscow authorities continues,
Zinovieff insisting that tho northern
commune should be independent.
The BolKheviki are executing many
prisoners and are making no attempt
to conceal that such action has been
forced upon them in order to conserve
food.
Bolshevik .Strength Inerensea.
The British narrator says that the
Bolshevik strength in Petrograd, as
well as in Moscow, has increased' since
the attempts on Lenine's life and the
advances in the Volga region, largely
because many Russian liberals believe
that they must choose between the Bol
sheviki and the extreme reactionaries,
as none of the faction leaders in tho
center show strength.
Maxim Gorky has joined the Bol
sheviki and has accepted a position in
the department of education. Many
others, who were at first opposed to
the Bolshevik 1, are opposed to his
action.
An order of the BolshevikI commune
recently required householders to give
over, their blankets, presumably for the
army, under a heavy penalty, and a
great scandal has developed, thrugh the
discovery by sailors of a trainload of
blankets destined for Germany.
RusMlan Officers Murdered.
In spite of the widespread desolation,
the commune is supporting the national
opera, the ballet and the theaters, giv
ing free performances to soldiers, sail
ors and school chidldren.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 22. The Bolshe
