RUSSIAN ARMY.
AT RAPID RATE
Washington Advises That
Troops Confidence Is Be-
ing Restored
(Ry ASSOCIATED Press.A

Washington, Sept. 17-General
Alexieff's appointment to supreme
command OF the Russian army will
be followed by a general organiza-
tion in which old generals will give
place to new ones. ...
First definite news of the reorgan-
ization was received at the Russian
embassy today in dispatches from
Petrograd. Confidence of the troops
is being restored by the removal Of
the former generals, the dispatch
said, and the situation is rapidly
clearing.
The Korniloff uprising seems to
have been quelled without bloodshed,
and Russian officials here say that
the government now is stronger than
ever. The original trouble might
have been avoided, Russians heSe
feel, If the emissaries of KorniloiA
had been able to explain the situa-
tion clearly to the government, and
1t is believed that a mistake was
made In selecting the men to act as
go-betweens between Korniloff and
the government.
The Cossacks movement is mot
considered serious any longer,
though it is not over with.

This requisitioned supply of spot

ADVISED BY CONTROLLER

Harry Al. Garfield, national coal
administrator, Saturday night
gave this advice to coal consum-
ers:
Don't get panioISy.
Buy the coal needed for inime.
diate use.
Prices will not 40 up.
As to whether prices will come
down in any specific community
! cannot say because do not
know the prices and conditions
there prevailing. ! do know this,
President Wilson expects the
price Of coal generally to come
down; expect IL TO come down;
the consumers believe it should
come down and ] feel sure they
will do their part. Between us
all I believe that the prices will
come down.
The price OF coal to the con-
sumner will be fixed by President
Wilson by Oct. 4, and dealers will
be Obliged 10 sell at the govern
ment price, except for coal under
contract, or else they viii not get
any coal to sell.

TURMEL AFFAIR
ACTION TO Be
DECIDED TODAY
Chamber of Deputies Feels
Case is Within Their
Jurisdiction
(By Associated Press.)

Paris, Sept. 17.-Semi- official an
nouncement was made Sunday that
Paul aDeschanel, president Of the
chamber of deputies and quasters
of the chamber would meet today to
decide what action should be taken
regarding the Turrnel affair for
more than a week the principal
topic of discussion in the press,
Premier Painleve. Jules Steeg. min
lister of the interior, and Roaul
Peret, minister Of Justice. have de-
cided that 1t is thus far under the
Jurisdiction of the chamber, mas
much as M. Turmel is a deputy, and
as such enjoys immunity from legal
prosecution while parliament is in
session. except in the case of flag
rant derelictton of duty
The affair arose from the discovery
Of July q in the deputies cloak
room at the chamber OF an envelope
containing rs Swiss 1,000-franc bank
notes. The finder. an usher of the
chamber, handed the envelope 10 the
quasters. Nothing was said of the
incident for weeks.
The discovery of the bank notes
was recalled, however, as soon as
the German chancellor. DR.. Michaelis,
made the statement that he was
fully informed by witnesses of every
thing which was said at the secret
sittings of the chamber. II was in
timated that the bank notes had
been given in payment for treason
able acts on the part Of some depu-
ties.
Eventually the name M. Turmel
was made public In connection with
the incident. He explained that he
was the legal adviser for Franco
Swiss firms and received money in
fees.
He added that his trip to switzer-
land was on May 10 and hence it
was out of the question that he
could have betrayed the proceedings
in the secret sittings. which were
held In June. He wrote to the uuas-
ters that as persons in Switzerland
who were i'm a position to give de-
tails of his transactions were max
ing difficulties he intended to go to
Switzerland and bring back docu-
mentary evidence. M. Turmel left for
Switzerland on Thursday. but was
stopped at the frontier by the Swiss
authorities although he had a diplo-
matte passport.
To interviewers M Turmel ex-
plained that as notary OF the town
OF Roudeac, he cleared 10000 francs
yearly after paying ali expenses,
and so was quite rich. This stcry of
riches is received with hesitation BY
the press.

Story of late hour proceedings on

Members of the Nonpartisan
league, including farmers. legislators
and state officials, opened a mass
meeting at the auditorium this aft
ernoon with Gov. Lynn J. Frazier

lower prices on other commodities
President A. G. Townley of
the league, Gov. Lynn j. Frazier.
Rep. John Baer and Commissioners
of Agriculture and Labor John
Hagan manifested satisfaction in the
price fixed by the government when
interviewed this morning.
Preliminary to St. Paul.
The conference Of producers and
CONSUMERS, as President Townley
characterized the meeting this morn
ing, is preliminary to the meetings
which will be held in st. Paul. COM
mencing Tuesday afternoon and con-
tinuing for three days. The league
headquarters were filled with visi-
tors this morning. That the ques-
tion of seed wheat would be one of
the main subjects to be discussed
was certain.
aThe purpose OF the meeting is not
as represented to protest against the
price OF wheat fixed by the govern
ment, but to urge the government to
continue its lower prices so that the
farmer can get things he needs to
farm with on the same basis as the.
price has been fixed on his wheat
and that the consumer in the city
will be able to get finished products
on the same basis" said President
Townley.
Mr.. Townley denied having issued
statement early in September say
ing that the st. Paul meetings were
called to protest against the action
taken by the federal price-fixing
committee. He told Of the reduction
in the price of flour, but said there
were no corresponding reductions in
the price of bread.
Governor Arrives.
Gov. Lynn J. Frazier and Com
missioner OF Agriculture Hagan
reached Fargo early this morning.
The governor stated he had no an
nouncements to make and did not
know what he would talk upon. He
said his remarks would be brief and
more OF an Introductory nature. He
was asked by President Emery to
preside.
Commissioner Hagan, with a num-
ber of farmers, spent the forenoon
working out facts regarding seed
wheat with number of growers of
the state. He made the statement
that No. Northern should be sold
back to the farmer at the price which
the government paid for 1t, plus
storage, interest and allowance for
shrinkage. On wheat selling at So
per bushel, he said the price for No.
seed wheat should be $2.l5 and
that the farmers, he thought, would
be willing to pay that. On $3.50 and
$1.s5 wheat, he said the price should
be about $2.05.
Congressman John Baer, who left
Washington in order to be present
at the meeting today. and the confer
ence in st. Paul, made the statement
this morning that the farmers have
serious objections to price fixing by
guess work, and that some definite |
action should be taken at this meet
