be enough to make a very fair in
come for the owners of the hotels.
D. U. Hershey told the story of

the tavern business used to meet the
incoming traveler, take care of his
horse, give him a drink of whisky,
slippers for his feet, a seat before
the fire, a warm meal and a good
bed, a fine breakfast in the morn

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.
The anti-Bolshcvikl troops are said
to be advancing toward Teshkent.

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.
