CABINET MEMBERS HELD
IN WINTER PALACE
(By Associated Press)

Reports from German sources today
furnished virtually the only fresh news
regarding the situation in Russia
where the Maximalists are In control
of Petrograd and are appealing to the
army to support it against imperialis-
tic attempts" until it has obtained "a
democratic peace"
One of these reports, which was en-
drely without confirmation was that
Premier Kerensky who left the cap
ital before the Extremists gained the
ascendancy had been arrested.
The other report, also of German
origin and similarly unconfirmed, de-
clared the Russian army on the north
ern front had joined the Madmalists
movement and was marching on Petro-
grad.
The great majority OF the members
OF the Kerensky cabinet were made
prisoners by the Maximalists, when
the winter palace in which they had
taken refuge was bombarded by cruis-
ers and its defenders compelled to sur
render. They are in the fortress Of
st. Peter and st. Paul and are to be
tried for completely in the Korniloff
revolt, the Ma2imalists announced.
General Korniloff, himself is also to
bebrought to the fortress for trial by
military tribunal, they declare.

It will be the duty of Mr.. Bates to

To prevent trading with the enemy all
American expectation is to be done
under license.
Mrs Bates will accompany her hus-
band to Washington. He will leave
for the capital Saturday.
"Drafted" Into Service.
To all intents and purposes Mr..
Bates was drafted" into Uncle Sans
service. He was not an applicant for
the position he has been appointed to
and the first information he received
that he had been considered for the
place was in q telegram from Wash
ington requesting him to accept ap-
pointment as expert on agricultural
i, machinery, Federal Ward Trade

camouflage for command and Mr.

| ment required his services he would
receive leave of absence from the

COAL FAMINE
DANGER SMALL

There is no danger of coal famine
in Richmond this winter if coal oper-
ators keep their contracts with Rich
mond retail dealers according to Coun-
ty Fuel Director Bates Friday.
The retail price however will be
higher than the government price as
the coal dealers bought the coal on
contracts before the government pric-
es were fixed, Director Bates said.
THE public need not fear, however
that the retail dealers are charging IL
legal or extortionate prices, Mr.
Bates said
Richmond already is fairly well sup
piled with coal and even though the
coal operators failed to keep their
contracts there would not be serious
suffering in the opinion of Mr.. Bates.
However it is believed that the con
tracts will be kept
Coal dealers from throughout the
county met with Mr. Bates Thursday
night and the question regarding a
uniform profit for all dealers was dis
cussed. Nothing was definitely decid
ed however. The dealers expect to de
eide upon a uniform price within the
near future
Dealers from every town in the
country with the exception of Dublin
attended the meeting.

Judge Re-Christens
Men Whose Names
Are Not American

CHICAGO, Nov. 9-Americanism
permeated the court room of Circuit
Judge Oscar e. Heard, who came here
yesterday from Freeport, to aid the
Cook county bench in clearing away
a docket crowded with applications
for citizenship. The Judge did not
find the multiplicity of foreign names
to his liking, so before admitting
some two score OF applicants to citi-
zenship, he rechristened a number
Of them and curtailed the names Of
several.
IF you are going to be American
citizens, you must have American
Names" Judge Heard said
The following are some of the
changes in names made by the court:
Gersiber Woralowski; new name,
Harry Warsaw
Leopold Szirtakiamce; new name.
Frank L. Franks.
Anaztasius Latsis; new name, Har-
ry H. Latsis.
Coceal Fidelman; new name, VII.
liam Kaufman.
Jomini Belcmsets; new name, Joe
White
Sam Israel Wiloczagonski; new
name, Sam We'll
AloyZy Walamender; new name
Louis Valender
The changes were accepted with
good grace in most instances, but al
least two of the applicants protest
ed and announced they would lay
the matter before the federal author
tiles.

Blind AUTHOR AND PHYSICIAN
is KILLED IN HOTEL ROOM

CLEVELAND, Nov 9.--Dr. Harry
Eorenzo GEapin, physician. author and
wozld wide traveller, late yesterday
afternoon was murdered by an uniden-
titled assailant in a room at a down
town hotel.
His skull was fractured by blow on
the back of the head. DR.. Chaplin died
where he was felled within half hour
of the attack.
Coroner Byrne declared that Dr..
Chaplin was murdered. The fact that
the skin was not cut suggests that he
was struck from behind with heavy
weapon, probably piece of pipe or a
paper weight wrapped in a handker-
chief, and that great force must have
been used" Coroner Byrne asserted.
General orders were issued from
police headquarters early this morn
ing for the arrest of man who was
known to have been in Cleveland yes

F. To Meet Acquaintances.
Mrs. Chaplin, who was the widow of
Valentine Fries, wealthy Sandusky
boat owner and lumberman, before she
married ''the blind doctor" as the muir
oer victim was known, last night, told
police that her husband went to the
hotel yesterday afternoon to meet a
man who recently came from Chicago,
with whom he had had business deal
ings in the past.
Shreds Of paper found on the floor of
the room gave police clues believed to
suggest a possible motive for the
crime

FOE PLOTTED
REVOLUTION

LONDON. Nov. 9-That the Rus
sian coup dictate war engineered and
subsidized by Germany FOR the pur-
pose of eliminating Russia from
among her enemies is the virtual una
imous opinion expressed-in newspap-
er editorial comment
A despondent view OF the outlook is
taken by some commentators, while
others claim that the triumph of the
Maximalists Is probably q passing
phase and refuse to believe that they
represent Russia or that Russia will
agree to a separate peace.
The Times partly blames the Ke-
rensky government for tolerating an
archy, and says:
Premier Kerensky himself never
showed himself really able to rule the
storm and came-to say the least
with diminished credit out of the Kor-
niloff episode
Can Get Some Comfort
For the moment the allies can sit
by and look on at this agony, getting
what comfort they can from the re-
Election that the voice struggling up
from 1t assuredly is not the authentic
voice of Russia. That the
real RUSSIA VIII ever consent to a sep
arate peace or acquience in all the
extravagances of the Soviet Manifes-
tos 1t is impossible to believe"
The Morning Post, under the cap
ton Revolution made in Germany"
says:
Whether the revolution will sue
ceed, remains TO be seen. There is still
core of good faith and loyalty in
Russia. The Russian people have
great tradition of national honor
which, if they have the choice, they
will never choose to break.
Obviously the allies can never rec
ognize a Russian government, whose
first proposal is separate peace and
can have no dealings with it. It re-
mains only for the allied nations to
reach by some means the heart of the
Russian people themselves and the
elements of Russia, which are true to
the cause of the allies. This Is task
in which the United States and Japan
might exercise their new.found power
of friendly cooperation. France and
England also might shape a new Rus
sian policy out of the ruins of the old. -

In the opinion of Conressman FL

Letter Believed to
Be Foe Propaganda

OXFORD, O., Nov o. Charles
Smoots yesterday received a letter
from Cincinnati, purporting to come
from Government Food Inspectors"
stating that he would be called on in a
few days by agents who would inspect
his stock Of preserved foodstuffs. and
calling his attention to the alleged fact
that a tax must be paid on all foods
over q, certain quantity.
It is believed that this is form Of
German propaganda which has been
worked in Chicago, and which govern
ment officials are endeavoring to COM
bat. Smoots Is a private citizen, and
is in no way connected with the food
business. The letter has been turned
over to government officials.

BRIDGES BLOWN UP BY
RETREATING ITALIANS

Wednesday, Nov. IA dozen bridges
have been blown up on the Livenza
river to arrest and delay as much as
possible the advance of the Austro-
Germans towards the Piave river.
The Livenza is smaller river than
the Tagliamento and offers fewer diff

retiring Italian army is now better or
ganized than it was on the banks of
the Tagliamento
