AUSTRIAN PREMIER
SHOT HOTEL TABLE
BERLIN, (Via Sayville) Oct. 22.
•—The Austrian Premier Count
Strugkh, was shot and killed when
dining in a hotel by Ludwig Adler,
the publisher of the leading daily
in the Vienna capital and corres
pondent of the responsible and in
fluential Vossiclie Zeitung. The
shooting followed a heated argu
ment. Adler is said to have angered
the Premier by the report of a mi
nisterial crisis which for unavoid
able reasons was sent out without
details.
LONDON, Oct. 22.—The motives
for the assassination of the Austrian
premier are unknown. Reports in
dicate that the Austrian Empire is
deeply affected. A special cabinet
meeting is reported from Vienna
and the Viennese newspapers call
the shooting a murder as foul as
that of the Archduke whose assas
sination caused the war. The mur
der has evidently created a tremend
ous sensation among the Central
Powers. British papers forbear
comment.
VIENNA, Oct. 22.— The Austrian
Premier was shot three times in the
head and died instantly. This is an
nounced without comment. Adler
who killed him, is a Hebrew jour
nalist.
ROME, Oct. 23.—It is believed
that the assassination of the Aus
trian Premier is a sign of disinte
gration among the Centrol Powers
and especially in Austria-Hungaria.
The Pope is reported to have been
profoundly moved when he heard
the news. The shooting may have
an important bearing upon the con
tinuation of the war.

A. F. OF L IS OUT
STRONG FOR WILSON
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 22.—
The executive board of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, a son of
whose President has a job from Wil
son, went into the political breach
today <and boldly circulated an ap
peal to re-elec* Wi'son, praising the
administration as one of peace de
voted to the maintenance of human
rights at home and abroad. The cir
cular is a strong one and asks all
organized labor to get in and work
and vote for Wilson.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—The Build
ing Trades Council of this city has
passed a resolution opposing the re
election of President Wilson and
calling on all organized labor to
vote against him at the coming elec
tion. The resolution recites the fact
that the Canal Officials under his
administration hired nothing but un
skilled, alien and unorganized
builders and at a scale fifty per cent
under that which the union demand
ed.' T.if appeal directs itself especi
ally to “the million and half men
who are employed in the building
trades of the United States”.
SEATTLE, Oct. 22.—William A.
Gilmore formerly of Nome is con
fident of the election of Governor
Hughes. He says that he has just
completed a tour of Indiana,
Michigan and Ohio with the Taft
party and says that the doubtful
states are all certain to support
Hughes.
WASHINGTON,N D. C., Oct 22.—
Wilson addressing the farmers here
says that he is glad that the elec
tion will soon be over as he is as
j anxious as they are to get down to
business again. He is certain, he
said of re-election. He does not
think that there is any likelihood
of the United States being involved
in war, and he talked of the neces
sity for economic preparedness
and championed co-operation in all
lines.

PEACE IN ATHENS AS
ENTENTE FORCES CONTROL
ATHENS, Oct. 22.—It is orderly
today in Athens. The Entente
troops are still here. The reservists
have been induced to subside.
The government is recognizing
the city under martial law. Greek
troops are reported to be arriving
here to help to maintain order. With
the guns of the warships practically
dominating the city, this place is
powerless to resist any encroach
ments upon the part of the Allies.
BIG SHOW AT DREAM
Tonight “Dr. Rameau” a powerful
six part society drama, with the
greatest cast ever seen together in
one play, will be the bill at the
Dream. Frederick Perry in the
title role is supported by Jean
Sothern, Stuart Holmes and Dorothy
Bernard. It is the story of a great
physician and surgeon, who claims
his “science alone,” makes some re
markable cures. Many years after
his wife’s death he discovers
among her letters evidence proving
that his wife had been unfaithful
and that Parmela was not his child.
He drives the girl from home, and
later in a sensational climax, saves
her by his remarkable skill. A
great drama.

SALONIKI, Oct. 22.—The Bulgars
again suffered defeat at the hands
of the Serbs and. they are making
stronger their Monastir positions.
The Serbs have taken twenty-two
hundred prisoners in two days. The
prisoners deny that they were cruel
ly treated.
It is held by the Bulgar officers
who were taken prisoners, that
the Teuton and Bulgarian forces
will complete the conquest of Ru
mania before Christmas after which
they will drive the Allies out of
Macedonia and Greece. They are
quite confident that this will be
done and say that it is immaterial
what gains the Entente powers
make, they will later have to sur
render them before Mackenzen.
ATHENS, Oct. 22.—It is reported
that King Constantine has been hav
ing very protracted conferences with
the representatives of France and
Russia. Nothing is given out con
cerning these interviews.

TEUTONS SMASH
THRU RUM
BERLIN, Oct. 22.—The Germans
are smashing their way through the
main positions of the Russo-Ruman
ians south of Rachovo, capturing
the Tusla village heights northwest
of Sari, also Mulchiova. The Teu
tons took there thousand Russians
prisoners. The Rumanian losses
have been also heavy in Transylva
nia.
LONDON, Oct. 22.—Von Hinden
berg suddenly shifted to Dobrudja
and resumed the offensive to crush
the Rumanians. Maekenzen is ham
! mering the Russians with a terrific
artillery-infantry slogging and is at
tempting to sei2e the important port
of Constanza or the railroad from
that point. The retreat of the
Russians and Rumanians is report
ed to have been orderly after the
first shock of the mighty offensive.

so-Rumanian center retirement in
Dobrudja is admitted.

Headquarters staff admits that
Mackenzen has taken the town ot
Kokardja.
VIENNA, Oct. 22.—The great
Teuton victories against Rumania
are being received with delight by
the people, but mourning for tlio
dead Premier is preventing any
open demonstrations over the vic
tories under Mackenzen.
It is held here that the complete
subjugation of Rumania this winter
is not only possible but probable.

BRITISH SMASH GERMANS
TAKING MANY PRISONERS
l.OXDON, Oct. 22.—A hard cold
wind drying up the fields in the
Somme sector, the fighting was
again resumed. The British attack
was along a five thousand yard
front from the Schwaben redoubt to
Lesars, the troops under Haig ad
vancing three thousand five hundred
yards, capturing Stouf Regina
trenches and taking almost a thou
sand prisoners. The British counter
batteries, under the direction of the
new chief of ordnance were highly
successful, having each time success
fully destroyed the emplacement of
the German guns. The new methods
of artillery countering are believed
to be likely to have a highly im
portant effect upon the general
campaign.
PARIS, Oct. 22.—The Germans
made three desperate attacks upon
the French at Saillv, apparently de
termined to re-gain this highly valu
able position from General Foch.
They also made a similar number
of attacks upon Maisonette but
merely experienced enormous losses
being unable to reach the positions
owing to the deadly shrapnel and
machine gun fire each time. The
Germans were literally mowed
clown. The French gained a foot
hold in Illaise wood and finally cap
tured the woods north of Chaulnes
where the German riflemen and ma
chine guns had maintained a heavy
fire against the French lines.
LONDON, Oct. 22.—Heavy fight
ing is proceeding tonight with the
British advancing in relays. The
great gains on the front today are
being received here with great en
thusiasm.

PLAN ORGANIZE JAPS
ALONG PACIFIC COAST
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.—The
( work of undertaking the organiza
JhOCAL ITEMS.
The Belinda and the Ram which
arrived in Nome Saturday night
brought down quite a number from
the north, including A. Wittenberg
and his wrecking crew, Henry Web
ber and his chief engineer, Billy
M’Curdy, Thos Dunkin, F. M. Ulrich,
Max Hirschberg, B. S. Roberts, H.
Dobson and wife and E. W. Dawson.
A good many others also arrived
whose names could not be ascertain
ed from the captains of the coast
ers.
Henry Webber reports a woful
waste of good reindeer meat up the
coast'. While the natives were se
parating two herds that got mixed
during the winter, they drove the
animals into a corral for that pur
pose. When doing so the deer
trampled on one another and they
were crippled badly. The cripples
were shot by the natives who left
the meat, perfectly good and sound,
to rot after they had removed the
hides. With the present high
prices, this seems a scadalous
waste.
• • • •
Word has been received in a pri
vate dispatch to Nome that the
Times of Fairbanks has been placed
out of commission, and thereby
hangs a tale. It appears the new
owners of the Times insisted upon
accepting some advertising from the
“Drys”. Some big concerns, ob
jected to this matter and failing to
prevent it foreclosed a mortgage on
the plant. This is what may be ex
pected anytime the liquor trade gets
the edge on a man, and these are
the high-falutin souls that talk
about the “liberty of the individual”
i It’s a big chunk of liberty they al
i lotted the Times publishing outfit.
It’s about time the people of Alaska
wiped the unclean beasts off the
boards.
tion of the Japanese of the Pacific
coast is to be immediately begun
by the American Federation of
Labor. The plan is to kill all dan
ger of non-unionist activities which
might injure the organized bodies
on the coast. The Japs will be given
charters from the American Federa
tion of Labor. The step has been
long under consideration and it is
stated only has been approved be
cause of the efforts made to make
use of this form of labor in recent
troubles on the Pacific Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.—
While it is practically conceded that
the Japs will be organized under
the American Federation of Labor
and there is a great willingness
among the Orientals to join the
unions, they have been resolutely
fought by a number of strong poli
ticians within the labor organiza
tions, especially in this city. As tho
Japanese are here to stay, the wiser
heads among the unionists have
counseled their being organized as
rapidly as possible. The fact that
the Japanese lines here when tho
big strike of the longshoremen was
on refused point blank to fight or
ganized labor has been a great help
towards bringing reactionist union
ists to think as the supporters of
Jap organization have been urging
for some time.
The unionist organizers discover
that about two thirds of the Japan
ese are partially skilled in a variety
of trades.
POLLS INDICATES THAT
HUGHES LOSING GROUND
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—The
fourth poll by the New York Herald
indicates a falling off in the state
majority for Charles Evans Hughes.
The vote shows a decrease in an in
creased balloting of eight thousand,
mostly farmers and workers whose
defection is admittedly very serious.
So well is the workers’ vote being
organized for Wilson that there is
every sign of the present slump
continues of a big slide to Wil
son.
TO PROSECUTE MANY OF
RAYONNE REFINERY WORKERS
’■ </*
BAYONNE, Oct. 22.—While it is
possible that concessions will be
made to all of the striker’s de
mands, there is an evident intention
to press all sorts of charges against
the strike leaders as an aftermath
of the great refinery strike.
DULUTH, Oct. 22.—The steel
trust through the officials is making
great efforts to build up a solid caso
in order to send the strike leaders
and union organizers who went into
the Mosaba range for long terms.
All kinds of professional witnesses
are being secured.
NEW YORK. Oct. 22.—The trac
tion strike still continues.
