The Hague, Sept. 18. (By Mall)
(U. P.) Despite official denials that
Russia ind Germany recently dis
cussed a separate peace, I have learned
from recent visits to Warsaw, Copen
hagen and The Hague that some sort
of a conference did take place.
At present, however, there Is little
prospect that Russia will desert the
allies. Roumanla's intervention in the
war has changed the situation entirely
from the cr.ar's standpoint.
The report that a peace meeting was
.held at Kovno was published recently
In the Nleuwe Courant, one of the best
informed newspapers of Holland. The
Courant article has not been published
In any belligerent country, it is un
derstood f. here, though, It created a
onsatlort In In land and the neutral
Scandinavian countries.
Botunania's Act Important.
Immediately following its publlca-1
tlon tlia Russian legation here issued
a denial, A similar denial was tele
graphed' from Berlin, but regardless of
this fact officials in Scandinavian
countries believe a great deal of the
Courant article Is true.
The Courant asserted that special
representatives of the cxar and Pre
mier Sturmer met the Kaiser and Fild
Marshal von Ifindenberg at Kovno in
August; Exactly what caused the ne
gotiations to be broken off was not
learned.. One report was that Russia
learned that Roumania was about to
enter the war.
rra Josef Spoiled rians.
Another report was that Emperor
Franx Josef has refused to cede Uallcia
and Bukowlna to Russia, the price de
manded by the czar for a separate
peace.
Russia was said to be willing to
make a separate peace because she was
afraid , of Japanese aggressslon in
China. because Oeneral Brusiloffs
offensive had failed to capture Lem
berg and Kovel and because the allies
had not given b,er successful coopera
- tlon on other fronts.
Germany, according to a neutral in
The Hague, was willing to see that
Turkey made some concessions to Rus
sia regarding the Dardanelles. Poland
was to De made a kingdom, with a
sllc.e- of; Uallcia added, under Prince
Leopold or Bavaria.

"As matters have developed in

they appear to be loayally cooperating.

his cart, while a mob of 300 drained
it of every drop of milk.

WOMAN'S WIT HELPS
SHERIFF IN CAPTURE
OF AN ESCAPED MAN
ugitive Given Lodgings and
Authorities Then Notified;
Arrest Follows,
The presence of mind and quick wit-
tedness of a woman hastened the cap
ture at an early hour this morning of
Palmer C. Wilson, alias Storm, who
from Deputy Sheriff Tichenor
Tuesday.,
wmoa was returned to the county
jail at 3 a. m., and a short time later
swallowed something and told the
jailor" he had taken bichloride of mer
cury tablets. Dr. E. P. Geary, the
county physician, said the ot tempt was
fake, the powder taken being com
mon salt.
Wilson was captured in a residence
not far from his home at East Thirty
fifth street and Hawthorne avenue.
Led by Deputy Sheriff Bob Phillips,
the officers were hot on his trail since
early last night.
Sheriff la notified.
But his exact location was not known
until a woman telephoned the sheriff's
office about 2 o clock this morning.
The escaped prisoner learned about
o'clock yesterday afternoon that this
woman, wno was an acquaintance, I
would be at home alone last night He
evaded the officers until after mid-1
night, when he went to this house and
requested the woman to give him a
place to sleep.
Quickly realizing that it would be
dangerous to refuse him, she permitted
him to enter the house and go to bed.
As soon as she knew he was sound
asleep, which was about 2 a. m., she
left the house and walked several
blocks to the home of a friend, from
where she telephoned to the sheriffs
office.
It was evident that Wilson was try
ing to get back to his home, where
it Is believed by the officers money
and clothes would have been ready lor
him to oe used in making good his
escape.
Xo Poison Discovered.
At noon- today Wilson was still at
the county hospital, where he was
taken after his pretended attempt al
suicide. Dr. Geary this morning used
a stomach pump and found no evidence
of poison. ,
Wilson, who was a Jitney driver, was
sentenced Monday to serve one year In
the county jail for contributing to the
delinquency of a 16-year-old girl. This
was his third offense of this nature.
but the only time he was unable to
avoid a Jail sentence. He escaped when
officers permitted him to return to hi
home to get some clothes. His wife
fainted and he took advantage of the
confusion to get away.
At 11 o'clock last .- night Deputv
Sheriff Phillips was only 20 minutes
behind Wilson and once passed him
on the street because the fleeing man

Phillips believes Wilson had two
bats with him.

EXPECTS TO RESIGN
News Significant Following
Dr. Boyd's Statement That
West Side Churches Fail,
Rev. Qllver 8. Baum, pastor of the
Calvary Presbyterian church, will, it
is understood, in the near future tender
bis resignation as minister of thai
church. Mr. Baum stated this morning
that no action of a formal nature has
been taken by him. as yet and until the
subject Is first taken up with the
proper authorities be did not car to
discuss the matter.
Mr. Baum did not say Just when his
resignation will be tendered nor what
his plans for the future are. From
other sources it is learned that it will
be considered by the board, of trustees
next week.
News that Mr. Baum expects to
withdraw from Calvary, comes close
upon the heels of the significant ser
mon preached by Dr. John II. Boyd
last Sunday.
In this sermon Dr. Boyd stated that
the west side churches are a failure
Only one Baptist churtch is left, and
only one Methodist. Rapidly the First
Presbyterian is crowding out the other
three west side Presbyterian churches.
Dr. Boyd said that this is making
his work a failure. Ie could not, he
declared, visit all his members lndl
vldually because there is got time
enough . and he does mot possess the
rphysical strength to do it.
If the .First church is going to con
tinue to absorb the smaller churches,
Dr. Boyd said that something has to
be done quickly,
Calvary Fresbyterian ., church was
built about 30 years ago, largely
through contributions of,W. S. Ladd.
In order to enable Mr. Ladd, who was
an invalid, to attend service, a porta
cochere was built through which he
could be taken from his carriage into
the church. At that time the First
Presbyterian church was on Third and
Washington streets, where the Spald
ing building now stands, and the two
churches did not come Into material
competition.
When later the First Presbyterian
built its present edifice,, it came inside
the territorial radius served by Cal
vary and the high percentage of
growth which has characterized the
First church has not also character
ized Calvary.
