With Bolshevik Forces Bearing Down on Him Kolchak Faces Crisis By Associated Press London, Dec. 27.—Admiral Kolchak, head of the All-Russian government, in Siberia, apparently faces a critical situation, according to Moscow ad vices. Bolshevik forces, advancing east ward along the trans-Siberian rail road from Omsk, former capital of the All-Russian regime, are said to have captured Tomsk and Taiga, and to have occupied a number of smaller towns in that region. Admiral Kol chak and his cabinet left Tomsk recently, retiring to the east, but re ports received here indicate the re treat of the All-Russian armies may be cut oft as a result of the action of social revolutionary . elements, which have set up a new government at Cheremkovo. about 80 miles north west of Irkutsk. Further east, anoth er center of rebellion has developed ir. the Amur river valley Blazovest chensk being isolated from the out side world, according to dispatches. Taiga, which is situated at the junction between the trans-Siberian and a spur line which runs north ward to Tomsk, was, it seems a sup ply depot for the Kolchak forces, and when the town fell a large amount of munitions of war fell into the hands of the Soviet armies. Gallcian forces, which sometime ago left the army commanded by Simon Petlura, the Ukrainian peasant lead [ er. and joined General Denikine in I Southern Russia, have revolted against Denikine and have attacked the latter's army in the rear, accord ing to Moscow reports. The Galicians are said to have been ordered to de fend Kiev against Soviet troops, which have been moving nearer that city from the north and northeast. Vladivostok dispatches state that the United States and Japan have reached a basis for agreement for a | Joint action against the Bolsheviki | in Siberia, but details are as yet un known. Soviet authorities in Turkestan are encountering trouble, according to Ir kutsk dispatches, it being stated that the cities of Khokan and Skobelev, have been taken from the Boisheviki.

RAILROAD NEWS PENNSY HEAD i WANTS INCREASE Favors Continuation of Stand-'] ard Wage Scale When Rail- | roads Come Back I'hilndrlphin, Dec. 27. President i Samuel Rea. of the Pennsylvania Rail- ] road, in a statement last night on the return of the railroads to private 1 ownership, said it is essential that higher rates be approved by the In- I terstate Commerce Commission to | save the country from broken down railroads and insufficient facilities and service. Mr. Kea said the rail- | road bill pending in Congress should ) definitely provide the following es sential features: "1. That adequate rates be at all times maintained to prevent the rail roads from getting into the position i from which they are now trying to emerge. For this purpose the adop tion of a rate-making rule, or. if that is not acceptable, the fixing of some minimum return is essential for the 1 positive guidance of the commissions which regulate rates. "2. Fund the war indebtedness to | the government, which chiefly con- j sists of expenditures made by the gov- i ernment for additions and better- j mcnts essential to carry the traffic ; of the war period and protect the j life of the nation; and also return the roads with sufficient working cap ital to resume' operations. The gov ernment found it essential to have working capital, and the railroads were called upon to provide a large part of that working capital at the beginning of Federal control, both in i money and materials and supplies. j Continue Stnndurd Wnges J "3. Continue the standard com- j pensation as prescribed by the Federal j | control act and contract until the i railroad situation has been steadied by adequate rates and stronger credit, i "4. Provide sufficient capital to ' finish additions, betterments and ] equipment already authorized by the j j United States Railroad Administra-i tion. to finance additional new work \ and equipment that should be auth orized In 1920. and also to enable the j railroads to provide for securities ' maturing in that year." "The government." Mr. Rea said, i | "is not asked to make a gift to the ! railroads by t such funding of past i expenditures or for such new capital, but it will receive from the railroads the obligations evidencing such debts, and requiring their payment in say ten years with suitable interest. The public interest should be protected I in this way, otherwise new equip- | n.ent and facilities cannot be provid ed in 1920." Twenty-seven Deaths From Nov. 1 to December 20 By Associated Press New York, Dec. 2 7. —Twenty-seven deaths from drinking wood alcohol > and several cases of poisoning have occurred in Manhattan between No vember 1 and December 20. accord ing to official figures made public by Chief Medical Examiner Charles i Norris. Dr. Norris declared that, in his opinion, these figures did not nearly represent the full toll in death and sickness due to taking the poison as a beverage as he be lieved that many deaths and illnesses reported as due to apoplexy, acute, abdominal trouble and other causes were really caused by drinking wood aleohol concoctions. The official figures show that only five deaths from drinking wood ulco hol were reported in Manhattan for the year 1918 and only four in Brooklyn for eighteen months prior to July 1. Dr. Norris said that two ounces of ordinary wood alcohol , were frequently sufficient to cause \ death and that, taken on an empty' stomach, considerably less might produce blindness or even prove fa- j tal. | VIEWERS HEAR TESTIMONY Viewers appointed to determine | benefits or damages resulting from the change in the lines of Second street, Highspire, met in the City Council chamber to-day to hear testimony.
