Prof. NiermaDn, Father of
Minister'S Wife, Receiv-
ed Letter.
MOB STONED CHURCH
DURING THE SERVICES
German Populace Threatened by
Street Mobs-Many Homes
Were Destroyed.

The lives of Rev. and Mrs. Alfre;
Kramer, who are we'll known in TIL
Cape, were endangered during tn
recent riots in Buenos Aires, accord
ing to a letter Prof. w. F. Niemann
received from Mrs. Kramer, hi
daughter, Saturday afternoon. Whil'
Rev. Kramer and his congregation
were assembled in their church the
building was stoned by a mob o.
| Young men breaking every window
and door in the building before they
were dispersed.
The letter Prof. Niermann received
from his daughter and son-in-law
bears out the Incidents related in the
press dispatches telling of the many
attacks upon the Germans of the Ar
gen.ina capital. A magnificent Ger-
man clubhouse in the fashionable resi-
dence district of Buenos Aires was
completely wrecked by the mob.
The furniture in the building AMI
every picture of a German prince and
of the German Kaiser was torn into
shreds by the mob after it had driven
all the members out. After COM
pleting their work of destruction, the
aggressors burned the building to the
ground.
During the days of rioting an Eng
lish cruiser appeared along the coast,
the letter says, but the purpose of
its presence was not made public.
The battleship departed after peace
had been restored in the capital.
According to the letter, the Ger
mans were given every protection
available by the government. Be-
fore the police and troops were call
ed out, however, the rioters were Pc
mitted to rage at will and destroy
anything that reminded them Of Ger-
manism.
During the riots the letter says,
many Germans were slain and also
others, who were accidentallyshot.
The letter also contains a ques-
ton of information regarding tire
rumor afloat in Buenos Aires that
five transports, bearing United States
troops to France, and a cruiser, corr
voying the transports, were sunk in
an encounter with German submarines
Rev. Kramer inquired of his father-iu-
law whether he had any confirmation
of this rumor. 1t is believed, how
ever, that this report found its source
in the many wild reports afloat dur
ing the riots in Buenos Aires, as no
official confirmation has been given
out in the United States.

ALL EXEMPTIONS
Will BE APPEALED
Prosecuting Attorney Contests
County Boards Decisions
for Government.

All exemptions granted by the
County Registration Board during
the last meeting were appealed to The
District Board yesterday by Prose
cutting Attorney Carthers who is act
ing as representative of the Govern
ment in all exemption cases. Under
the rules of the War Department all
exemptions granted by the County
Board must be sustained by the Dis
trict Board before they are final.
Of the last 100 men called for ply
sical examination, q were accepted
by the County Board as fit for mil
tary service. Of these q none had
filed a claim for exemption. The
claims of five others were reJecte7
by the Board.
1t is still uncertain when the las:
contingent of Cape Girardeau Coun-
tvs quota for the first call will DC
sent to the training camp. The Wai
Department issued an order some tlm7
ago fixing October II as the day on
which this contingent woud be sent
but the Registration Board is still
awaiting confirmation of the order.

RUSSELL May BE
OPPOSED in 1918
Harry and Fly Mentioned by St.
Louis Republic as Congress-
ionaI Timber.

Congressman Joe J. Russell will
have two opponents for the Demo-
cratic nomination for congress next
year according to a jefferson City
dispatch to the St. Louis Republic.
Alfred L. Harty, the Bloomfield
banker, and T. r. r. Ely of Kennett,
are reported to be planning to make
the race.
When Congressman Russell was a
candidate for reelection one year ago
he told some of his friends that he
might retire at the end of his pres
ent term. While he has not announced
that he would not seek a seat in corr
gress again, some of the newspapers
in Southeast Missouri that are in the
confidence of the congressman have
been mentioning him for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor. This
may keep him out of the congressional
race.
Mr.. Harty has been active in DEM
ocratic politics for many years, but
not as a candidate. He was men,
toned for bank examiner several
months ago. Mr.. Ely is a former
state senator. He recently received
quite a bit of publicity by proposing
public meeting to condemn Sena-
tors Stone and Reed.

MO. COAL MINERS TO
STRIKE NEXT FRIDAY

KANSAS CITY, MO-, Oct. 10
Representatives of 10000 coal mln-
ers in Kansas, Missouri and OKLA
homa. met today at the Hotel kup-
per and decided to strike rather
than to acquiesce to the demands OF
the operators. A strike was called
for Friday morning.
The effect of the action, if carried
through, threatens the worst coal
shortage in the history of these
states. In addition, it may seriously
hamper war preparations.

Tells Frisco Officials City
Has No Reason to
Yield.
INSISTS THAT CUSTER
SUIT BE TRIED OCT. %
Delay of Trial Certain, as Frisco
has Failed to File Answer
10 Petition.

In replying to the Frisco's request
for a continuance of the custer suit
now pending in the Ste. Genevievf
County Circuit Court between the city
and the railroad, City Counselor
Knehans yesterday informed w. F.
Evans, general solicitor for the Frisco
that the city would not yield an inch,
but would insist that the case be tried
on the day it is set, namely October
%.
The letter the city counselor wrote
TO the railroad official yesterday was
in reply to communication Mayor
Hirsch received from the railroad sew
eral DAYS ago asking that the city
agree to a continuance of the trial
pending a compromise between the
CITY and the railroad.
City Counselor Knehans was au-
thorized by the Mayor to take the
matter in his hands. "There's moth
ing" Mr.. Knehans wrote the official
"on which the city could compromise.
We have set forth our claims in the
netition filed in in the Common Pleas
Court several months ago, and do
not intend to concede anything to the
railroad"
The Frisco has as yet failed to flle
an answer to the petition submitted
bv the city. in which the city asks that
the railroad be either ousted from
the CITY or pay nominal sum for the
use Of the right of way during the
time the Frisco has operated its trans
without q franchise. The franchise
expired last March but the railroad
was granted an extension OF one
month during which the contract with
tbo CITY could be recognized or ro-
iected by the re-organized railroad.
Several months elapsed and the
Frisco failed to comply wit hthe ru!-
ing of the Federal Court to either rec
oerize or reject the franchise the rail-
road was granted by the city. LasS
July City Counselor Knehans brought
the custer suit against the Frisco IL
the Common Pleas Court. This Suit
was sent to Ste. Genevieve on Il
change of venue on the grounds thai
the railroad could not receive fa'r
trial in the Cape. The trial has been
set for October %.
In view of the fact that the FRISCO
ba snot as yet filed its answer to the
petition, it is probable that the case
will be continued. The railroad may
file its answer any time till the first
day of the court term.

White Sox tried to take the series
by winning the game, the Giants We're
eager to win the contest in order to
even up the series and get back into
a position to have a chance for the
worlds title. The crowd was equally
in suspense as the players.
When the fourth inning came and
the Giants uncorked three errors in
succession it appeared certain that
they had lost their fighting spirit AMI
that their defense had crumbled un-
der the suspense.
The players began to leave for the
homes late this evening for a six
months rest.

settled in the fourth inning when the
White Sox hit Benton's deliveries for
three runs. They added another in
the last frame. The Giants scored
two runs in The fifth inning, but after
that did not have another chance to
put over another run. Three eros
in succession coupled with two hits in
the fourth gave the W3ite sox the
three runs which provo to be suifi-
cient to claim the worll Is title. Two
walks and triple allowed the Giants
to score their two runs.
The strain and Importance of the
game was plainly evidenced by the ac-
tions of the players. While the

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Oct. 15.-
An American steamship which arrived
