SHRINkAGE IN MARKET
 VALUES OF SECURITIES
Has Seriously Affected Financial In-
 terests of Ex.-Gov. of Mass.

Boston, Nov. S.-The formation of a committee to take charge of the f- nancia1 interests of Former Governor Eugene N. F'osS was announced today. A statement made by a member of the committee, Neal Rantoul of the firm of F. s. Moseley and Company, brok- CTS, said:
 Owing to the tremendous shrinkage in the market value of all high grade securities, it has become necessary for MT. F'oss to Hquidate some of-his big stock investments in order to protect his ownership in the Sturtevant Blow CT company and the other companies in which he is interested.
 "In order to facilitate and help the situation a committee has been formed to take charge of his affairs."s
 In addition to MT. Rantoul, Ga1en L.. Stone, of Hayden, Stone and Company, and William A. -Gaston. of the National Shawrnut bank, are members of the committee.
 No official estimate of the assets and liabilities was given out, but it was said that notwithstanding the shrink age of stock values, the assets would probably exceed the liabilities by sev- eral millions at least. Real estate holdings are understood to constitute a considerable part of the assets.
 The Sturtevant Blower plant is ex- pected to continue in operation. It is engaged in government work with or ders hand which are said to ap- proxinate s7.0OO,00O in value and to require about two years for compile tion.

FOOD CONSERVATION IN AT CAMP DEvENs
Because Men Abused Privilege of
 Second Servings.

Aver, Mass. Nov. S.-Strict food conservation orders were issued at Camp Devens today. Men who have abused the privilege of second servings by leaving considerable quantities of tkeir extra dishes will be put at sr~- cial tables. All the food which they leave over will be put carefully away, tagged with their names, and these left overs" will be their first course at the next meal.
 Organization commanders will use cane syrup, molasses, raisins. cur rants, apple butter, butter, oleomerga- rine and preserves of all kinds in the preparation and use of foods" the or der reads, thus conserving the sup ply of sugar. Sugar will be used only to sweeten coffee and such articles of diet in which a substitute would not be palatable'

RETAIL PRICE OF POTATOES
 NOT TO BE VERY CHEAP
Robert SeoviIIe, State Food Adminis-
 trator, So Declares.

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 8-In com menting upon the government report of the bumper crop of potatoes and it's relation to prices in this state, Robert Scoville, federal food adminis- trator for Connecticut, voiced the oinion that the retail price would not be very cheap. He said:
 ''The United States department of agriculture's crop report of today shows a potato crop of about 440, ,0OO,- 900 bushels, exceeding the record crop of 1912 by 20,0OO,000 bushels. It would seem from this that the price of potatoes in the east would be very -argely controlled by freight and car shortage and the whole problem would become one of distribution. The very high prices at which other food pro- ducts are selling, however, justify a range of potato prices higher than in former years"
 At food administration headquarters tonight it was announced that 12 396 signed pledge cards had been received during the day making the revise of fciaI total 150.637. Errors in the count for Bridgeport, checked up to- day, show that that city has a total of 19,041 pledged,
 A general request was sent out to- night, through the press, asking that all town chairmen return to head quarters all surplus window cards.

REVOLT OF MAxIMALISTS
 MUST BE OvERTHROWN
IF Russia is to Achieve Her Political Freedom, Russian Ambassador As sertS,

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. S.-In an ad- dress here tonight Boris A. Bakhme- teff, the Russian ambassador, declared that if Russia is to achieve her po- litical freedom the MaximalistS who revolted against the Kerensky pro- visional government at Petrograd must be overthrown. Immediates peace, such as the Maxima1ists propose, he said, could only result in Russian oppres- sion-
 While not attempting to belittle the gravity of the situation in the Russian capital, Ambassador Bakhemetef said the Maximalist revole was a revolt of the few against the many.
 The majority of the Russians who followed Kerensky since the Romanofs were overthrown last March," the am- bassador said, "are heart and soul with the Kerensky government. They fully understood that freedom of Russia is assured only through an allied victory against Prussian autocracy. They will fight to the end.''
 Soon after his arrival here from Washington Ambassador Bakhemeteff was informed by The Associated Press Of the overthrow of the Kerensky gov ernment. His reply to the disquieting news was that ''the intent and spirit of Russia as whole can in no way be judged by the news from Petro- grad" and he added that the spirit prevailing in the capital is not repre- sentative of the Russian spirit as a whole.
 Ambassador Bakhemeteff left tonight for Washington without having re- ceived any official advices from Petro- grad regarding the new revolution.

Race Trouble at
 Montgomery, Ala.
WHEN NEGRO CHAUFFEUR RAN
 INTO WHITE WOMAN
.OUIETED BY POLICE
Negro Soldiers Became Excited When Told That One of Their Comrades Had Been Captured by a Mob Heard He Was Being Lynched. ..

Montgomery. Ala, Nov. 8. - Quick action by the military police early to- night, coupled with the determination of Major John c. Fulton, commander of the Tenth Training Battalion (ne- groes) prevented probably serious trouble when some of the negro sol diers became excited over the report that one of their comrades had been captured by a mob. For a time it appeared that there was danger of a race riot but the military police took the situation in hand and at midnight everything was quiet.
 How Trouble Started.
 The trouble started when Jim Long, a negro chauffeur, was arrested after running into white woman. Long was taken to the police station and re- leased on bond but the negro soldiers heard that "a soldier is being taken out to be lynched" and started out to rescue their comrade. As the soldiers started through the streets they were joined by several hundred others, with a large number of white persons.
 Military police went to the center of the disturbance and sent about seven ty of the soldiers to headquarters for interrogation. They were later sent to camp under guard.

HOW RUSSIAN REVOLT
 AFFECTED STOCK MARKET.
Active List Was Lower by Three to
 Eight Points.

New York, Nov. S.-Foreign develop ments 1oomed ominously upon the financial horizon today, the latest Russian revolt forcing the active stock list lower by three to eight points on an outpouring of approximately 1,3O0,- eco shares.
 Weakness spread to bonds and the foreign exchange markets, rates to Petrograd and Rome recording their greatest depreciation since the incep- ton of the war. Incidentally. the Lib erty 5 1-2 per cent. bonds, which changed hands in round amounts, fell to the new minimum of 99.36.
 Wall street was slow to realize the importance of the news from Petro- grad. which came during the forenoon trading. The market continued strong for period, but once the extent of the coup d' etat became known, stocks were thrown over in larger volume than at any time in the three months of almost uninterrupted liquidation.
 feature of the days activity which bore no direct relation to interna- tional affairs was the greater weakness of local street railway issues and higher grade utilities. including Amer ican Telephone and Western Union Telegraph. Extreme reactions in those shares ranged from three to five points.
 Declines in the general list were or derly at first, but the movement bor- dered on demoralization as it gathered greater momentum in the early after noon- U. S. Steel was, as usual the central figure, making almost a steady f-scent from 95 7-S. it's top price of the first hour. to SS 3-4. around 2 o'clock.

GREAT BRITAIS HAS NO
 LATE NEWS FROM RUSSIA.
Russian Embassy at London Also is
 Without Advices.

London, Nov. 8.-Chancellor Andrew Bonar Law informed the house of commons this afternoon that the gov ernment had no news of the latest de- embassy also was without advices. The cnly news of the deposition of the Kerensky government thus far has been received from the Russian wire less and the semi official Petrograd news agency, both of which are now controlled by the Maximalists.
 There is hope here that there may be another side to, the picture. It is considered possible that the Kerensky faction may not have been turned out of power as completely as the Maxi milists represent and that conserva- ttves may be able to reassert them selves without a general civil war. The army. holds the key. to the situa- ton and the issue appears to hang upon how far the soldiers respond to the Maximilist proclamation. .--.- :.

LIQUID FOOD GIVEN HUNGER
 STRIKING SUFFRAGETTES
Whether Force Was Used is Matter
 of Dispute.

Washington, Nov. s.-Miss Alice Paul. head of the Woman's party, and Miss Rose Winslow, hunger striking in the district jail hospital. were fed late today by the jail authorities. Liquid food was given them through rubber tubes, breaking a fast of some thing over 72 hours.
 Whether force was employed may be always a matter of dispute. Dr. J. A. Cannon, the jail physician. said it was not and that both women took the nourishment without protest. At the Woman's party headquarters, however, it was indignantly asserted that such a thing was impossible. The women pointed to Miss PauPs record at Hol- loway jail in London, where she en- dured tortures through forcible feed ing when she was an aide of Mrs. Pankhurst some years ago.
 Miss Paul and Miss Wins1ow, who are serving terms for so-called picket ing of the White House, went on their strike in an effort to compel the jail off cers to provide for their fellow pickets the same special food-eggs and milk-given them when they were transferred to the hospital section

TO LOOK UP STOCKS

Because of intimation That Big Pack CTS Have Not Been Playing Fair

Chicago, Nov. 8.-Intimation that the big packers have not been playing ex- actly fair with the food administration in the matter of canned vegetables was contained in an order from Wash ington today directing Harry A. Vince Ter, state food administrator. to look into the stocks of timed foods held by the packers. It is particularly desired to know when the reference to prices paid at the time as compared with present prices.
 The packers are said to be the big gest canners of vegetable products in the country, and thus to control the prices. This season's pack of corn is said to be the largest since 1912, and it is said, should be cbtainable at req sonabIe prices. The corn pack for 1917 is estimated at 100000 cases as compared with 9.9OG.0 cases in 1914. when prices, were about half what they are now.
