BELGIAN HOMELESS
CARED FOR In ENGLAND
Trains Carry Refugees Into
London, Where Food Is
Provided.

London. Oct. 12.-Seven trains
bringing refugees from Antwerp ar
rived here last night and were met by
representatives of the war refugees
committee. A majority Of those who
came in on the trains were of the we'll
to do class and did not need assist
ance.
The others, however, BORE sterner
evidence of the experiences they had
undergone. Many of these carried
their belongings in brown paper par
ce:s slung over their shoulders. The
distressed ones were provided with
warm meals at the stations and then
sent by omnibus to various Institutions
pending arrangements for their hous-
ing.
An Antwerp real estate man, who
escaped on the last train leaving the
besieged town, said:
Fierce fighting was going on al
most at our doors when we left. The
noise of the big gun was like con
tinuous thunder. Life in Antwerp for
the last week had been a nightmare.
Considerable damage to houses had
been done by bombs dropped from
Zeppelin a%irships.
For a fortnight it had been i'm
possible to obtain a warm meal in the
city. The town has been virtually in
darkness for two months"
The refugees included a number OF
Belgian soldiers and a party of 4G
Ursuline nuns.

NADOO TO FIGHT
PLANTERS SCHEME
Cotton Bonding Plan lmprac.
teal and Discriminatory,
Says Secretary of
Treasury.

Washington, Oct. l2.-The alan Cor
direct federal aid to cotton growers tic
The extent of $500, 600. 900 was the sub
iect of sharp criticism in a letter to
Representative Henry, of Texas, made
public by Secretary McAdoo. The let
ter is in reply to recent statements to
the Hous by Mr.. Henry.
Mr.. McAdoo that the pro-
posal to sell $3.50. 900, 900 of Panama
n bonds to bolster the cotton crop
is not practicable, and generally objects
70 all the features OF the Henry scheme.
He calls attention to the fact that those
who deal in tobacco, naval stores, cop
per, silver and other commodities have
sought government aid
IF we disregard every suffering in
terest except cotton he said, and
make it the sole beneficiary of govern
mental favor what becomes of the
democratic principle of equal rights for
all, special privileges to none"
If we enter upon the course you sug-
gest you must help every distressed in
dustry impartially. To do that would
h $500, 600, 900 in bonds and green
back and dangerously involve the cred
it of the government. 1t would be a
hopeless undertaking in defiance OF
every sound principle of finance and
economics, with certain disaster at the
end"
Representative Henry introduced in
the House today a compromise loan
proposition presented in a bill framed
last night by a conference of south
ern members of congress. 1t would re-
duce the proposed loan to S250,000, 900.
While Mr.. McAdoo was writing his
letter the committee of st. Louis job
bers and bankers, headed by Festus j.
Wade, was in conference with a COM
mittee of the federal reserve board over
the proposed $150,Q00 900 cotton loan
fund to take care of the surplus cot
tor crop. No decision was reached and
the conference will be resumed tomor-
row.
Governor Hamlin and Messrs. War
burg and Harding, the board commit
tee, will discuss the proposal tomorrow
before they meet the bankers, n later
the full reserve board may TAX it up.
What is really wanted" Mr.. Nc
Adoo's letter said, SIS a restored mar
ket for cotton. The value of cotton has
been injured this year by the Euro
pean war. This injury cannot be re-
trieved nor the market restored by leg
~islation any more than the injury to
corn, which was caused by the drought
last year in the great corn states of the
west could have been repaired by leg
islation."

FIRE DESTROYS COLLEGE
GYMNASIUM; LOSS 100000

New York. Oct. 12.-The Columbia
university gymnasium building, a two
story brownstone structure. 75x175
feet, designed by the late Stanford
White. and built II years ago, was q
charred, w~atersoaked ruin today, with
all but the wallis and electric power
plant in the basement DESTROYED by the
fire which gained swift Roadway early
this morning.
If neat and water have weakened the
walls the loss will be heavy; if they
stand strong as ever, it is believed
500, 600 will be sufficient to rehabilitate
the building. The structure housed the
university heating and power plants,
the gymnasium, swimming pool and
indoor ace track, paraphernalia and
trophies of the oarsmen, editorial rooms
of the school of journalism, hundreds
of students lockers, various offices
and the university restaurant, in which
it is believed the blaze originated.

Terrific Fighting Preceded
Evacuation Of Belgian City

The Hague, (via London), Oct. H.
Antwerp surrendered to the Germans
at 2;30 p. m, Friday, October 9.
The war flag was removed from the
cathedral and a white flag raised in Its
place at 8 a: m. The actual surrender
took place five and one-half hours
later.
1t is declared here that the Cathedral
of Notre Dame has not been damaged.
The Germans delivered one of their
last furious attacks between 6 and Z
o'clock Friday morning. The Belgians
resisted them yaliantly in their trench
es and the desperate fighting resulted
in very heavy losses on both sides.
During all Thursday night Zeppelin
airships directed the firing of the Ger

BELGIANS TO EFFECT JUNCTION WITH Allies

London, Oct. lo.-Antwerp has fallen into the hands of the
Germans, with the exception of a few outlying forts, which cannot
AFFECT the outstanding facts, but its capture, important and stirring
as 1t has been, was robbed of much Of its intrinsic value, it is con.
tended here, by the escape of the garrison.
The defenders, it appears, held on long enough to enable them
TO take full stock OF the situation, and evacuated the citadel when it
became evident that the doom of the town was sealed. Toward the
close OF the defense only a sufficient garrison to work the remain,
ing available guns was left to hold Antwerp.
At midday Friday the advance force Of the Germans entered
Antwerp and the full surrender of the city evidently occurred at
$50 III the afternoon, Beaten back from their last defenses, the
belglans blew up their heavy batteries and withdrew to rejoin their
comrades, who previously had evacuated their positions.

HEADACHE STUFF
DOESN'T GO IN
THE COPPERBE
YERINGToN TIMES HAS SOME
THING TO SAY ABOUT DEMO-
CRATIC SENATOR.

United States District Attorney
VIM. Woodburn, Jr.. and Junior Sena-
tor Pittman addressed a small audi
ence at Owl hall on Wednesday even
ing OF this week. The gentlemen ar
rived rather late by auto from Fallon,
and Mr.. Pittman was somewhat indis-
posed. However. Mr.. WOODBURY. spoke
first and gave the senator little
longer time to recuperate before de-
liyering his address. The contention
OF both gentlemen was to the effect
that Mr. Newlands should be returned
TO the United States senate from Ne
vada Mr. WOODBURY., Of course. did
not refer to the speech made by his
father while he was running against
Mr.. Newlands in 1892. but rehashed
the old argument that Newlands was
national character. a great irriga-
ZIONIST. etc. etc. He spoke for the
balance OF the Democratic ticket and
here there were faint explosions OF
applause now and then.
Mr.. Pittfhan. who the Reno Journal
proprietor says, was looked upon as
merely an "adventurer' by Mr.. New
lands six years ago, made pretty
good spiel. considering the conditions.
1t was to the effect that the present
administration was the greatest thing
that ever happened to the country
and that it must be supported and
