HAVE HAD A HAND IN SOVIET
COUNCILS; ALLIANCE IS FEARED
WASHINGTON, July 30. (U. P.) Demands which In effect would
eliminate Poland as a barrier for Italy between Russia and Germany,
will be presented by soviet Russia as conditions to peace with Poland,
according to confidential Information to the government. The soviet
peace demands also will facilitate an alliance between Germany and
Russia, according to government reports.
Those advices officials here believe, show that Germany must have a
hand In the bolshevik councils and that her Interests will be taken care
of as well ss Russia's negotiations with the Poles. According to govern,
ment advices two of the principal conditions to the peace to be de- '
manded by soviet Russia are of free passage across Poland and re
storation of Posen to Germany.
WASHINGTON. July 80. (U. P.)
It Is reared here by officials that the
soviet demand for freedom of transit
across Poland will call for free pass
age for both individuals and freight
without any restrictions. This would
effectually eliminate Poland as a bar
rier state and provide direct connec
tion between Germany and Russia It
was pointed out. A second demand
would provide a direct mitigation of
the Versailles treaty in favor of Ger
many. The province of Posen, val
uable economically and agriculturally.

After an Investigation.

Blame for Slanderous Story

als; Williams Was Here and

Vklah's "murder mystery was
cleared up today with a clean bill of
health for all concerned,' except what
Coroner, J. T. Brown and Deputy
Sheriff Joe Blakely characterized as
a "gossiping element." The 'burned
human bones" fould on the Walker
Elis ranch art sa)d by the cornorer
to be bones of a dog or a coyote.
Residents of the little settlement in
the south of the mountains worked up
a first class murder story over the
finding of the few bones by a man
whose identity, even yet, is not estab
lished. Word spread rapidly, - but
whisperingly, because Joe Williams, a
rancher, had not been seen In the
neighborhood for several weeks. No
one was found until yesterday who ap
peared to remember that Williams
and his wife drove out In their buggy
on the night of June 29.
The couple, with three horses, went
as far as the Stubblefield ranch, Just
beyond High Bridge on the Yellow-
jacket springs road, and there passed
the night. Next morning the wom
an drove to Pilot Rock, leaving two
horses at the Wright place and the
third at Pilot Rock. She said some
one would call for them. - - ' -,

Op the day following, Mrs. Willi

Pilot Hock to go to the ranch where
Williams spent the night ' and they
were driven, with 'their luggage, to
Pendleton. They stopped at Pilot
Rock to cash a check for $6& and then
came here, registering at the Bowman
hotel, the officers were told. t
Two tetters mailed .on No. 5 of July
9 by the woman were received by
Walker Ellis, of Ukiah, and A. M.
Schlarbaum, of Albee, respectively.
The letter contained a bill of sale for
the horses in payment of a debt at
Schlarbaum's store. The pair has not
been heard from since.
