TEDDY RILED WREN
COMPELLED RETIR
3
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 19.—When
Roosevelt began an analysis of the
republican and democratic platforms
he found the hostile people would
not listen to him and persistent calls
for Wilson compelled Roosevelt who
was exceedingly riled to retire. This
is Roosevelt’s first experience of the
kind in all his public career and he
feels it intensely. He is exceeding
ly bitter at the lack of courtesy
shown him. He blames a crowd ot
Kentucky mountaineers for the ro
ganized interruptions. j
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—Wilson’s re
ception here convinces even faithful
republicans that his popularity is
growing instead of diminishing.
Enormous crowds greeted Wilson
upon his arrival here today. Thou
sands lined the streets and in recent
times no political candidate received
such a ovation. It dwarfs the fa
mous Roosevelt triumph upon the
occasion of the inception of the Bull
Moose party into nothing. It simply
beggars description to attempt to
convey any idea of the enthusiasm
manifested.
A peculiar feature of the Presi
dent’s handshaking orgy was thai
Wilson wore bandages, both to pre
vent infection and to avert any in
jury from the excessive pressure ol
his enthusiastic followers.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—Hughes
dropped back another notch in the
betting today folowing Wilson’s ex
traordinary reception in Chicago.

STRIKE STILL SERIOUS
OAYONNE REFINERIES
BAYONNE, Oct. 19.—The federal
mediators are said to have been suc
cessful in inducing one thousand
strikers to return to work in the
Tidewater plant of the Standard Oil
Co. All persuasion failed in the case
of the other employes of whom
about ten thousand are still out.
The work of starting up the Tide
water plant will not be begun be-1
fore tomorrow, as the company is |
unwilling to undertake the expense
with a possibility of the men failing !
to make good their promise to re
turn to work.
BAYONNE, Oct. 19.—The strikers
are still holding out in this city and
although every effort is being made
to induce them to return to work
pending an adjustment of the trouble
the employees are unwilling to do
so.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—The report
that Rockefeller will try a welfare
plan at Bayonne, similar in most
respects to that employed in Colo
rado is not considered to be found
ed upon any good reason, as it is
known that assurances have been
received from the Bayonne manage
ment that the strike will settle it
self by the men returning to work.
BAYOXXE, Oct. 19.—If the strik
ers do not return to work, it is in
tended by the authorities to take
summary action against all the
leaders and to force the men back
lest further disorders occur.
GREEK TROOPS USED TO
QUELL ANTI-ALLYISTS
ATHENS, Oct. 19.—Riotous mobs
and all of them armed, which have
been making hostile demonstrations
against the Allied nations in this
city and who are said to have been
bought by German money, were
suppressed by the Greek troops.
The Constantine government now
admits what has not been before
made public that the Allied nations
protested against the attacks which
were made on the French and Rus
sian legations and that if steps
were taken the troops would be
landed from the Allied ships of war.
Because they declared that no effort
CIVILIZATION A SUCCESS.
Every seat was sold at the Dream
long before the hour for screening
Civilization arrived last night and
standing room was at premium
when the big spectacular allegory,
the last thing in picture making,
was thrown on for the delight of a
crowded house. This marvelous pro
duction will be remembered long
by those who witnessed it. Jt is an
era in motion picture production
when the camera at last realizes
possibilities of art and realism un
dreamt of a few short years ago. To
night the big picture is repeated
and likely as not the same abun
dant audience will witness the mag
nificent spectacle of war’s naked
enormities.

_
LOXDON, Oct. 19.—It is not cor
rect that the Allies have formally
recognized any other government in
Greece but that of King Constantine
On the contrary only the revolt in
Crete has been recognized and the
revolutionists as the de facto gov
ernment have been extended official
recognition by the French consul.
There has not been any effort to
antagonize Constantine in any way,
but the troops were landed in order
to afford protection to legations
which have been attacked by Ger
manist riotors who were bribed to
promote disorder.
This is semi-official.
ITALIANS ADVANCE UPON
AUSTRIANS NEAR TRIESTE
ROME, Oct. 18.—The Italians un
der Cadorna are gradually closing
in upon their attack on Trieste.
They are now driving against the
northern rail communication. The
Austrian Adriatic fleet is reported
by airmen to be concentrating to
defend the city. In engagements
which took place today, the Austri
ans yielded considerable ground
along the entire front.
\ IENNA, Oct. 18.—The severity
of the Italian attack at the present
time is due to the desire to lighten
the Austrian drive against the ene
my on the east. The military autho
rities declare that with the co-ope
ration of the navy the capture of
Trieste is a physical impossibility to
any army. The Italians are bound
to fail.
ENGINEER CONDEMS THE
COAL LEASING PLANS
SEATTLE, Oct. 19.—Chief En

Bureau of Mines, that official subsi
diary of Big Business in the mining
world, has returned here after an
inspection trip in Alaska. He says
RAID pleasure resorts
LONDON, Oct. 18.—Owing to the
systematic raiding of club houses,
races, cricket matches and other
pleasure resorts, the British upper
and middle classes are beginning to
abandon the sports which they have
maintained without let-up since the
war began. It is estimated that
twenty thousand have been grabbed
by military police for enforced ser
vice in this way.
that the possession of Alaska coat
leases is preventing the combination
by operators in the coal mining in
dustry and the lack of independent
railroad work will hinder the deve
lopment of Alaska for several years
to come. Rice is obviously of the
opinion that if one or two big con
cerns gobbled up all the fields the
country would be developed quicker
and this is readily agreed to by
Alaskans, although as to what bene
fit it would be to the territory in
such a system of development is a
matter of doubt.

SERBS WIN GREAT
FIGHT, TAKING BROD
I LONDON1, Oct. 19.—After brilli
] ant fighting, the Serbs driving upon
[ Monastir have captured Brod and
j a Servian detachment is occupying
several commanding positions
i which have been taken from the
Bulgars on Mount Nokol.
SALONIKI, Oct. 19.—The Servi
ans and Bulgarians clashed again
south of Brod, the Bulgars attempt
ing to flank the Serbs. The Bulgar
movement was frustrated by the ra
pid action of the Servian reserve
I detachments which engaged the Bul
j gars while the front rolled up the
Bulgars like a ribbon and occupied
Brod. The Servians are continuing
their advance in the direction of Mo

BUCHAREST, Oct. 19.—After
the perilous reverses of the earlier
stages of the war, the capital is now
breathing more freely owing to the
greater success which is attending
the Rumanian arms. The Ruman
ians have driven the invading Teu
tons across the border and they are
continuing their gains in Transyl
vania.
ROME, Oct. 19.—The failure of
the Mackenzen and the Falkenhayn
movements against the Rumanians
is now partially admitted, says a
Geneva dispatch commenting upon
Vienna reports. That Rumania
awaited the same fate at the hands
of the Teutons now seems to be
only a remote possibility. With the
Russians still menacing the Teutons
in Galicia and the failure of the
south Bukowina movements, the pre
liminary failure of the Teuton and
Bulgar offensive is beginning to
make itself apparent. Great concen
trations are to be moved into Bul
garia to make another supreme ef
fort to crush Rumania this winter.
HUNDRED MINERS ENTOMBED
WEST VIRGINIA MINE
FAIRMOUNT, West Va., Oct. 19.
—Today the Jamieson coal mine was
the scene of a terrific explosion
from fire damp which has entombed
over a hundred men in mine Num
ber Seven. The explosion shook
the entire surrounding country and
was one of intense violence.
As the accumulation of fire damp
in this mine has been notorious and
many recently quit on account of it
a- J the lack of the proper safety
equipment, the number entombed
comes as a great surprise to the peo
pie.
The surface works have been badly
damaged by the force of the explo
sion and the gear in the power
house is wrecked.
FAIRMOUNT, West Va.. Oct. 19
—The management makes the fol
lowing announcement relative to the
explosion and the report that one
hundred men were entombed: The
dead number twenty. These were
all the employees in the mine at the
time of the explosion which war
especially violent at the bottom of
a three hundred foot shaft.
The company a short time ago
laid off most of its working forco
owing to a car shortage and the in
ability of the company to fill orders
for that reason.
The company holds out no hope
that any of the twenty men in the
mine will he alive when recovered
by a rescue party now exploring the
tunnels and the rooms of Jamieson
Mine Number Seven.
BRITISH ORDER MERCHANT
SHIPS TO CARRY ARMS
BRITISH ORDERS uksi ngHH shrd
BERLIN, Oct. 19.—The Local An
zeiger publishes a report that the
British merchantmen have all ot
them been ordered to arm with guns
of rather heavy caliber.
The German paper commenting
upon this report says that if the
news is true, and there is no reason
to doubt it, this means a sharpened
German policy of submarining as a
means of self preservation for the
LOCAL ITEMS.
A Polet who received word from
Candleites anxious to come to Nome
asking him to try to get some means
of transportation for them, tried his
hand on the Coast Guard steamer
Bear, but Captain Cochran couldn’t
see it that way. The men had money,
were not up against it, lived in a ci
vilized community where were well
stocked stores and as there was
neither hardship nor distress, the
Bear could not extend a helping
hand. Besides and moreover and
furthermore and in addition, the
land was open across the country
from Candle to Nome and any ot
them could make up their mind to
walk it if they so desired. And
there you are.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 19.—
Ranking diplomats at the Teuton le
gations concede that the Bremen
has been lost at sea. They positive

of the circumstances under which
the sister of the Deutschland was
lost. It is known that the U 53 made
the trip in order to search for the
Bremen which was then long over

LOCAL ITEMS.
There is quite a chunk of anxiety
manifested concerning the Arctic
and therfe is a real genuine fear
that that vessel met with some mis
hap. Laden with coal for the schools
of the Bureau of Education and
other supplies, the non return of the
Arctic, or the failure to report from
any section back to St. Michael is
being received with some misgiving.
The Arctic had its tanks filled with
fuel and no danger is apprehended
from that score, but the provisions
on board were very limited, just for
five or six days or maybe a little
more. The boat is almost thirty
days gone now. It was stated yest
erday evening that Captain Cochran
was going to St. Lawrence island
and would probably from there pro
ceed to Hooper Bay to again try to
find something of the missing boat.
And late last evening it was an
nounced that the commander was
seriously thinking of going direct to
Hooper Bay and from there to St.
Lawrence island as the more advis
able course. People here are quite
anxious about the Arctic's fate.
