rather close score, Nebraska is given
credit by the Ames track experts as
having the best balanced team in the
valley, confederacy.

.IERENSKY DEF|ES
 HOSTILE CONGRESS
..ior will Disregard That Premd1,' eady and Name New Cabinet
 DCuS Win T Suppress Anarchy Mer- -n~sE .ilsssIy and Reorganize Army.

D,.roorad, Friday, Sept. 2S.-Oe-
 l.dl-The immediate formation oi
 'y'~, sr cabinet is reported tonight to
 ., tse decision of Premier kerensky'
 Tss is considered direct challenge
 l'" tbe democratic congress, which IS
 .a.t0d to demand the right to name the government'
 rso deleoates to the convention
 ,Dsnt the day in committee meetings
 r s1 Dartv conferences. The premier
 'ar '.nta,rod with Moscow political lead
 It is reported he will bring the
 i,,ue to a head by announcing ms
 ,sbinet tomorrow.
 N gurvskin and M. Tratyakoff, u,,,ow leaders who at the present have no political affiliations, went to be winter palace today at the invi- .tion of the premier and presented h him program which has been ap- moved by the business, banking and manufacturing interests. It is said inc premier has agreed to the pro- gram.
 The principal points of this pro- snm are the immediate adoption of measures to put the army and navy in fighting condition, the merciless expression of anarchy, absolute inde- pendenee of cabinet ministers from parties and the taking of measures to guarantee the selection of the mem- bers of the constituent assembly, which is to decide on Russia's future form of government in such a way hst the assembly will express the free will of the Russian people. It < believed this program will receive approval of the constitutional Demo- Hsts, who, it is said, will have repre-
 sentation in the cabinet, nothwith-
 standing the opposition of the Sol
 ders and Workmen's delegates. The
 Moscow leaders who conferred with
 N. Kerensky are mentioned as pos sible members of the cabinet.

of holding a constituent assembly. by making the Congress permanent body. This plan is said to contem- plate continuous sessions of the con gress until the end of the war and elective representation of all soldiers and workmen's delegations through out Russia.
 In the wide range of projects to come before the congress stands out the determination of the Social Demo crats to oppose any effort of the pre- mier to reform the sabinet without sanction of the congress. The labor group favors a coalition cabinet, leav- ing open the question of participation by the Constitutional Democrats. The peasant delegation will introduce a resolution for a dictatorship of democracy" opposing the ambition of the Workmen's and Soldiers delegates to seize power.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE COTTON MARKET
 N
Nervous and Unsettled Because of the StOrm-Bureau Report IS Expected to Show BulIish Condition.

New Orleans, Sept. 3O.-The cotton market here was nervous and unset tied last week, prices being carried at one time 54 to 89 points under the level of the previous weeks close and at another 37 to 50 points over. Last prices showed net losses of 9 to 66 points.
 The main influence was the hurri- cane which finally bored into the belt through Alabama. On the weekend spot news became extremely favor able. Against the market was the tendency of longs to liquidate in pre- paration for the bureau reports some short selling and considerable vol ume of hedge selling.
 Weather and crop news was almost uniformly unfavorable, aside from the influence of the tropical storm. Too much rain fell in the eastern belt, causing damage to both plant and the grade, while temperatures were too low in the western belt, late in the week.
 This week the bureau reports on condition and ginning to be issued Tuesday will be the main features at first. The trade expects a bullish showing from both. Bullish expecta- tions on the condition report probably range from about 59.5 up to about 62. Bears do not look for anything lower than about GA.
 Less guessing has been done on the ginning returns. General expecta- tions appear to be for an output of about 3,0O0O00 bales.

SUPREME COURT
 CONFINES TOMORROW
Among the Decisions Expected Are Those on the Constitutions aIlty of the Draft Law and the Child Labor Law.
(By United Press.)

Washington, Oct. With the cal- endar filled with highly important cases, the supreme court convened to- morrow for its 1917-18 term. In line with an old custom, it will adjourn after formal business to call on the president.
 A decision is expected speedily on the constitutionality of the draft law, under which 6O0,0OO men are now in service. Should five justices vote the law invalid, all these young men could return to their homes.
 Scarcely less important is the deci- sion on the child labor law. Should this be invalidated, all national efforts to reform child labor conditions must be abandoned, and the field given over to the states, several of which are de- cidedly unfriendly to such legislation.
 There is an understanding that the supreme court will give these meas ures right-of-way.
 Before the court also are some of the most important trustbusting cases the United States ever started. If all were won, the so-called steel, harves- ter, shoe-machinery, kodak, anthra- cite, take-towage, corn products trusts would be compelled to follow the Standard Oil Company into "dissolv- ing"
 But there are rumors-nothing so unsanctifed as "hunch" or a tip" could come from the court itself, of Icourse-that the court will just natur- ally fail to reach these cases.
 The executive branches of govern ment feel the trusts can be most prac- tically dealt with through price-fxing and proit-taxing.
 Certain officials of the executive de- partments "hope" the supreme court will let things go at that until at least the war is over.
 NO NdSNS ill pbl tetiil tp ulllOii ilbVi are the attempts of the Eagle Glass and Manufacturing company and the Mitchman Coal and Coke company, both of West Virginia, to have labor unions declared conspiracies under the state laws.
 Methods of Dupont powder inter ests in alleged strong-arm methods of putting a competitor out of business will be reviewed in the suit of the de- funct Buckeye Powder company against them. Triple damages are asked by the latter corporation for the alleged unfair ruination of its business.
 Denver, Colo, and Lincoln, Neb., will reach final decisions in old rate fights with respectively, their water and gas public utilities.
 Whether Illinois railroads may charge 2.4 cents mile, when the state law sets two cents, is up for set tlement.
 Several rebating cases are pending. Power of the l. C. C. to investigate where it suspects railroad corruption funds is in question.
