but Result in Doubt.
Suffrage Badly Beaten and So
ciaIistS Fail To Score.

Columbus, o., Nov. THE total
vote in the prohibition campaign in
Ohio in 5,156 precincts with 500 pre-
cincts out was:
DryS 451,746.
Vets 464,035.
This tabulation was reached after
the race see-sawed all morning be-
tween vets and drys.
A flood of city precincts finally gave
vets their big lead in the race after
some of the vets had prepared to give
up.
Lucas (Toledo) and Montgomery
(Dayton) counties were the big coun-
ties with complete returns still out.
The Lucas county board of election Of
ficials in the absence of definite fig
ures, estimated the county would go

lists failed to elect a mayor in Ohio on
their anti-war platform.
Incomplete returns today from the
seven cities where they ran stronEest

creases at some points and losses at
others, but in no city was there a
showing indicating anything near an
even division on the war issue.

dunn was defeated by over 100, 900 but

Petrograd, Nov. 7.-Soviet head
quarters today gave every appearance
of being ready to Withstand siege.
Machine gun detachments were ready
to defend it.
Petrograd,. Nov. THE govern
ment has decided not to resort to
armed force at present against the
military committee of the soldiers
and workmen's delegates but has or
dered the ministry of justice to prose-
cute its members. The military will
act in case of a revolt.
Petrograd, Nov 7-Flatly declar-
ing that the Maximalists threaten to
open the front to Germany" Premier
Kerensky today asked the preliminary
RussiNn parliament if it would sup
port the government in suppression of
their attempts to seize civil and war
powers.
A definite break between the Boil
sheviki controlled local soviet of work
men and soldiers and the Russian
general army staff came today. The
soviet's military committee ordered
troops at Peterhof. Pavlovska and
Tsarko-Selo to disobey orders from
the war ministry summoning them to
Petrograd.
The government authorities acted
promptly. They disconnected (prob-
ably raised the draws) all bridges
over the river connecting the work
mems quarters in the city and sup
pressed three Maximalist and two re-
dictionary newspapers.
Exercises Iron Hand.
Kerenskys open indication that he
proposes to use all governmental pow
ers in crushing the attempt of the
Bolsheviki and kindred malcontents
of the extreme radical ranks to con-
troll in Russia has been practically
forced by the action of leaders of the
Petrograd soviet of workmen and sol
diers in canvaSsing soldiers of the
Petrograd garrison. Thru Leon Trot-
sky, a Bolsheviki leader, the garrison
urged not to obey any of the govern
ment's orders unless approved by the
military committee of the soviet.
In his address to the preliminary
parliament, Kerensky declared these
forces must be suppressed"
The congress has not yet acted on
the premier's request.
Sweeping changes in the high army
command were forecast from the dis
missal of General Verknovsky as min
lister of war and his transfer to the
Caucasian front
Soviet Distributed Arms.
The military committee of the So
Wet Kerensky declared, distributed
arms and cartridges to some of the
workmen. 1t is therefore necessary
to consider that among a part of the
population a revolt has been started
The government has ordered the
necessary arrests.

A new LOSS PLAN
Inspection Features of Claims
Under w. w. & /. Bureau.
Capitalization of Work Places
Topeka With Other Cities.

Topeka shippers are to be placed on
the same parity with some of the
larger cities in the manner of handling
railway loss and damage claims. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that by
centralizing the work, loss and dam
age claims can be handled more
promptly and more satisfactorily to
both shipper and railroad. The To-
peka railway lines have, therefore,
arranged effective November 6, to
handle inspection features covering
claims thru the Western Weighing and
Inspection bureau, who have arranged
for special service, it being the inten-
ton to secure a more satisfactory ad-
justment of loss and damage claims
sustained on shipments of freight by
Fastening investigation necessary in
the settlement of claims.
A NJ Tucker will be in charge of
this work. and will handle the work
for the four railways entering Topeka,
under the direct supervision of Mr..
C. w. Moncrieff, agent for the West
ern Weighing and Inspection bureau
An uptown office, it is expected, will
be esta bHshed in the near future. The
new plan is already in operation in
Omaha, Milwaukee, Denver and Colo
rado Springs.

ACKNOWL SERVICE
Government viii Thank Those Who
Helped With the Draft.

Plans of the federal government to
make suitable and fitting public ac-
acknowledgement of men and women
who donated their services during the
recent selective draft, were announced
today by Col Jonathan D. Norton,
government disbursing agent The
acknowledgment of patriotic service
will be made to persons connected
with the draft work, either members
of the boards, clerks, examining
physicians, federal appeal agents and
other persons called into service.
In many localities members of reg
istration and exemption boards do
mated their services. The Second dis
trict appeal board at Wichita has also
donated its service to the govern
ment il is reported. a record will
be compiled by the government show
ing names of men and women who
rendered uncompensated, patriotic
service in the drawing of the first
selective army.
With the announcement by Colonel
Norton today that the government
planned public recognition of persons
who gave their services. he gave final
notice that all persons expecting pay
for services must file claims this
month. Only in rare instances have
officials refused to give their services
to the government in connection with
the draft But where officials insist
upon pay for all work. requests have
been made that all claims be filed at
once, as the records for the first draft
will probably be closed before the sec
ond call is made

An epidemic of spinal meningitis ex-
lists at Camp Funston. Unofficial re-
ports received by the state board OF
health indicate the existence of
thirty-nine cases. Between thirty
and forty carriers of the disease have
been found among men in the selective
army. Two companies are under
quarantine. Five deaths have been
officially reported.
The dread disease was brought into
camp by men in the selective service
The exact number of cases existing at
this time is unknown in state health
circles. Since the camp is on govern
ment soil. the epidemic is being
handled by government health Of
ficers 1t is reported, however, that
thirty-nine actual cases have been
found. SO far as known but five
deaths have occurred.
Troops Under Quarantine.
Companies under quarantine con-
tain mixed troopers. SelectiVe soldiers
from several states are in the organi-
cations under government quarantine
rule, it is reported. number of
Kansans are said to be in the units
L. Z. ClOgston, a well known Eureka
lawyer. was in Topeka today and re-
ported he had received word that the
company in which his son Jeffrey
Clogston is serving, is under quaran-
time. 1t is not known, tho. whether
the company is one of the organlza-
tions held under the meningitis order.
More than thirty men are said to
be listed as Carriers" They are not
victims of the disease, but might COM
municate it to other members of the
seIective army. All men known to
be suffering, or carriers or exposed
are said to have been placed under
the federal quarantine regulations.
Can Hold No Funeral
y In a telegram today, the coroner
of sheridan county notified the state
health board that HoXie boy had
died from meningitis at Camp Fun
ston. His body has been sent to
HoXie in an hermetically sealed
casket. Information was asked con-
cerning rights to hold a public fu-
neral. Under the law such action is
prohibited. 1t is probable the town
will hold memorial services in honor
of it's first army victim.
No information is available as to
the units which carried the disease to
the camp. 1t is declared to have been
distributed thru carriers and is not
due to local conditions or lack of suf-
ficient or adequate health regulations.
