RUSS CABINET
TO ANSWER TO
CONGRESS- ONLY
Kerensky's Plan Woulc
Eliminate Outside Inter
ference. !,

Petrograd, Sept. 26-Premier Ker-
ensky will return to Petrograd today.
His secretary said he would not recog-
nize as official the democratic con-
gress called by the soldiers and
workmen's delegates, which Will meet
on Thursday, although he might ad-
dress it.
Absurd and sensational rumors were
current last night regarding the
premier. They were published in the
newspapers this morning but were de-
clared officially to be unfounded.
The chief problem before the con-
gress will have to do with the plan,
which possibly will be backed by a
majority, to bring about the forma-
ton of cabinet responsible only to
the congress. M. Avskentieff, former
minister of the interior, explained this
project to the peasant delegates in a
speech in which he said Russia must
fight Germany resolutely if it is de-
sired to avoid abject surrender.
The probable policy of the congress
was indicated further by a message
sent by the soldiers and workmen's
delegates to Premier Kerensky beg
ging him to postponed formation of a
cabinet until the congress has met
The premier's secretary, who is one
of the leaders Of the peasant delegates
fears the Bolsheviki will have a ma.
! jority, owing to the fact that this
party is straining every nerve to rally
adherents, whereas the moderates re-
fuse to attend the congress on accoun'

They also allege that participation
would commit them to the socialis
program Of June 81.

been proclaimed by the constitutions

CARNATIONS, and also by many mum
cipalities and Zemstvos from which
are pouring in kilograms to Premier
Kerensky expressing confidence il

"I believe many moderate socia
revolutionaries and menshevikis re
greet having approved the plan for tn,

is too late now"

Preacher Killed While Trying
to Cross In Front Of
Movie Train

Oakland, Cal, Aug. "A movie
tragedy came to a realistic end near
Pleasanton, at noon today, when a
train bearing down on the hero to
furnish a new "thriller" struck an
auto, killing Rev. L. A. Betz, of Alber.
ia, Canada, and injuring three othe,
persons.
While the train was rushing down at
high speed to the point where the
climax of the movie picture was to be
staged and the camera men were grind
ing away at their machines, J. R.
Rhodes attempted to drive his machine
across the track ahead Of the locomo-
tive. The pilot struck the car and
smashed it, instantly killing Rev Betz,
Rhodes father-in-law.
Movie cameras filmed the unexpect-
ed real tragedy.

Arthur Henderson May Re-
sign As Result Of Bitter
Criticism

London. Aug. 3.-Two allied nations
faced cabinet crises today.
In London rumors persisted today
that Arthur Henderson, laborite mem
Der of Lloyd-George S war cabinet,
would resign as the result Of bitter
criticism of his participation in meet
ings at Paris, with radicals and social
lists of France and Russia and open ad-
vocacy Of British participation in the
Stockholm peace conference of social
lists. His retirement was regarded as
certain If the government withhOlds
passports to such British delegates.
On the other hand. if the Lloyd
George ministry decides to grant pass
ports, the conservatives will raise
great storm.
In paris two designations from the
Ribot ministry were reported up to the
premier tOday-those of Minister Of
Marine Lavaze and Minister of Block
ade Cochin. They followed a new vote
in the chamber OF deputies appfoximat-
ing resolution of confidence in Ribot,
re-affirming France 5 peace aims. The
vote was 395 to 10. The exact reasons
for the Lseaze and Cochin Withdrawals
we're not made clear but are presum-
ably duo to criticisms against the nav
al or submarine policies Of these minis
ters.

disregarding the hail of rifle fire they
turned upon him, he circled back and

or five corpses before the Germans
gave way and sought shelter in nearby

The airman swooped around little

Next he swooped over an open motor
