SUSPECT ATTEMPT ON
LIFE OF PRES. WILSON
PITTSBURG, Oct. 20.—While Pre
sident Wilson who came here from
Chicago was taking a ride for a few
hours on an auto, secret service
agents arrested a man named Rich
ard Cullem or Cullen who attempted
no less than three times to board
the machine upon which the Presi
dent was riding.
Cullen is a machinist about twenty
two years of age and was finally
grabbed from the running board of
Wilson’s car by the secret service
men and taken into custody. When
searched a five inch knife and a
bottle of “fluid” whose contents
have so far been undetermined, were
found upon his person.
Cullen was subjected to a grill
ing examination by the detectives
but he replied only vaguely to the
questions put to him.
The only thing which indicates
any dislike of Wilson was the man’s
assertion that he disliked the foreign
policy of Woodrow Wilson. The
agents believe that an attempt at
assassination was contemplated by
Cullen.
The facts as to Cullen being made
public, the general belief is that the
man is a lunatic with possibly hos
tile intentions towards Wilson.
At the depot a huge crowd greet
ed Wilson while Bryan and the pre
sident shook hands and had a two
minute conservation in the Presi
dent’s private car.
The prisoner Cullen is securely
guarded and will be held pending a
further investigation.
RESERVISTS MAKE IT
HOT FOR ENTENTE
ATHENS, Oct. 20.—Turbulent
Greek reservists are holding demon
strations against the entry of the
nation into war and opposing the
Venizelos party in the country, not
withstanding the detachments of En
tente troops which are now in the
city. Editors of severely critical
'anti-Venizelos sheets have been
formally notified of the existence of
a censorship and the liability and
responsibility will be theirs in the
event of any trouble. This has
caused a general toning down of ar
tides in papers which have been
avowedly inflamatory against the
Entente nations.
LONDON, Oct. .20.—An Athens dis
patch this evening says that French
artillery and machine guns now
command the principal streets iri
Athens and the rioting of the antl
Entente party has comewhat sub
sided. There is very great excite
ment and it would take very little
to cause a serious outbreak.
ATHENS, Oct. 20.—There is no
anti-ally or anti-German party here
in the strict sense of the words.
The party responsible for the agita
tion which the Entente naitons re
gard as directed against them, is a
purely anti-war party which is heart
and soul with King Constantine. The
Greeks are not supporting the Turks
or Bulgars, nor are they inclined
to do so, but for all that they do
not ‘want to be dragged into the
war. They favor general demobili- j
zation of the troops.
SERBS WIN MORE
FIGHTS WITH BULGARS
SALONIKI, Oct. 20.—The palm
for brilliant fighting in the Mace
donian battlefields is readily extend
ed the Servian troops by General
Sarrail.
It is reported officially today that
the Servians advancing their left
from Cerna took Volessolm after a
battle with the Bulgars on whom
they again inflicted heavy losses.
The Bulgarian troops fled from the
LOCAL ITEMS.
The Third Annual Shoot of the
Nome Gun Club will be held at the

Very handsome trophies have been
awarded by Nome business men to
be competed for and most of them
are valuable as well as handsome.
The club invites the Nome public
to attend and promises that all gpn
fans whether members of the club
or not will have a chance to try
their skill at the clay pigeons on
this historic o'ccasion. The shoot
begins promptly at twelve midday
and the shootists are hoping that
the clerk of the weather will see his
way clear to grant favorable condi
tions for the gunners.

SOFIA, Oct. 20.—The strategic re
tirement of the Bulgars before the
Serbs is reported officially tonight.
The Bulgars are falling back upon
the impregnable positions which
they hold around Monastir.
LONDON, Oct. 20.—The wonder
ful showing of the Serbs against
the Bulgars is being commented
upon. It is admitted that no general
campaign against the Bulgars can
be undertaken while an uncertain !
force of Greeks is lfet behind to at- i
tack the Allies in the rear should
they commence a drive. The situa
tion in Greecian Macedonia is be
yond question regarded here with a
great deal of irritation.
BUCHAREST, Oct. 20—The
Russians and Rumanians have now
driven back twenty miles along Bul
gars about twenty miles along their
entire front in two days continuous
fighting. They took four thousand
prisoners.
BLIZZARD DOVERS FIELDS
THREE CENTRAL STATES
OMAHA, Oct. 19.—A terrible bliz
zard, altogether too early to be
seasonable has covered over the
states of Nebraska, Iowa and South
Dakota with a blanket of snow.
This premature winter has done
enormous damage and the farmers
will stand to lose considerable sums
by reason of It. Stock injuries
from the t]lizzard are also reported
to be quite extensive.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19.—It is
estimated that the damage done to
Mobile and Pensacola in yesterday's
terrific gale will not be less than a
quarter of a million in each place.

GERMANS MAKE GAINS
ON GALICIA FRONT
I LONDON,N Oct. 20.—According
| to a Petrograd report a very im
j portant German victory is admitted
! in Galicia.
[ According to a thus confirmed
i Berlin official report, the Germans
[ stormed and captured important po
sitions on the west bank of the Na
rayuvks, repulsing several sanguin
ary counter attacks and capturing
two thousand prisoners.
BERLIN,, Oct. 20.—Continuous
fighting in Galicia is accompanied
by Teuton gains. The Russians have
been completely discomfitted south
of Halicz.
PETROGRAD, Oct. 20.—The Ger
mans gained some positions south of
Halicz, but suffered a heavy defeat
west of Brody when trying to pre
vent the Slav advance from that sec
tor on Lemberg. The fighting still
continues.
VIENNA, Oct. 20.—A re-organi
zation and redisposition of the Teu
ton troops along the entire eastern
front is now under consideration
and von Hindenberg is here advising
upon the disposal of the new align
ment with the General Staff of tho
Austro- Hungarian army. It is an
nounced that the plans of the Ger
man army head have been accepted
and farmally approved by the Aus
trian war leaders.
LONDON, Oct. 20.—The vigorous
second wind of the Rumanian ar
mies is apparently giving some
pause to the original plans of the
Teuton leaders and it is reported
that they are now proceeding to
evolve another plan of campaign
against their somewhat stubborn
foe.
SOMME FRONT SCENE
DESPERATE COUNTERS
PARIS, Oct. 20.—The erei'ing
communique says that the French
front on the Somme has b?-n the
scene of terrific German counter at
tacks which revealed the importance
attached to the loss of Sully by the
Germans.
For almost a continuous blazing
fight of twenty-two hours in dayligti
and dark the Germans drove massed
lines against the French positions.
General Foch explains that the
loss of Sully to the Germans is a
vital blow as it opens up the south
east approach to Bapaume and was
considered untakable by the Ger
man commanders.
There is no possibility of the Ger
mans gaining the position again.
LOXDON, Oct. 20.—The explosion
of a mine prematurely cost the Ger
: mans a strong position northeast of
! Bapaume to the British today, the
| men charging as the mine blew up
| nearer the German trenches than
| was intended, and taking the Ger
' man position.
In any event the most important
feature of the fighting has been the
desperate and prolonged effort upon
the part of the Germans to re-gain
Sully from the French troops, al
though they tried again and again
with unimaginable losses they fail
ed to gain a foothold once upon the
lost position.
It is said that the commander in
chief has removed the German gen
eral who had charge of this posi
tion, so incensed is he at its loss.

GERMAN PAPERS ARE
RIDICULING THE RRITISH
BERLIN, Oct. 20.—The almost
certain loss of the U. 53 while not
officially admitted, but it is known
that it was worsted in a heavy en
counter with a British cruiser east
of Nantucket shoals, is leading the
German papers to ridicule Britain's
submarine war and its sniffling as
sumptoin of international decency
towards the neutral nations.
The Tageblatt says that the U 53
fought forty-five miles from the Am
erican coast at its nearest point, on
the high seas and in open water, the
British cruisers hugged the coast al
most within the three mile limit in

ed that no more trouble need be
apprehended.
BAD WEATHER.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 20.—Het
Volk says that a German communi
cation reports that the Kaiser is
now visiting the Somme front where
he expressed the liveliest satisfac
tion at the losses which the Allies
sustained at the hands of his brave
troops.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—It is con
cluded here that only one German

has been sunk or not.
No further submarinings have
been reported.
TRAIN WRECKER DESTROYS
LIVES OF ENGINEMEN
MANITOWOC, Wis., Oct. 19.—An
unknown train wrecker switched
signals on a Chicago and Northwest
ern freight bound to Ashland and
succeeded in ditching the train. The
engineer and fireman were killed.
The miscreant during the night
had switched the lanterns so that
the light showed all clear when the
switch was half cocked. The freight
was running at a lively pace when it
struck the half cocked switch and
was almost immediately derailed.
The engine and tender after
passing the curve sudenly capsizing
killing the engineer and fireman. No
reason is known for this dastradly
act.

There is now little hope of rescu
ing the men in the mine. The ex
tent of the after damp reveals what
a terrific explosion must have occur
red and indicates a criminally negli
gent attitude upon the part of the
management towards the accumula
tion of fire damp within the mine.
Nine men are still entombed who
cannot be reached. Six dead bodies
have been taken from the mine.
STILL CONTINUES.
NEW YORK. Oct. 18.—The trac
tion strike continues, the men hold
ing out firm. It seems impossible
now to effect any settlement and the
expected is that most of the men will
return to work upon the company
terms. The traction company ad
nits that the strike has been a cost
y one for them.
