RUSS BALLED UP!
After Approving Kerensky Plan
Congress Opposes 1t.
With 461 Delegates Absent.
Cabinet Plan Is Beaten.

Petrograd, Oct, 3.-The all Russian
democratic congress today voted 813
to $50 against a coalition govern
ment.
The decision is blow directly at
Premier Kernesky and the provisional
vernment.
Yesterday the same conference
voted 766 to 68S in favor of a coalition
of all parties in the formation of a
cabinet which should firmly admin
lister the Russian democracy.
The vote today came after the con-
ference had formally determined to
reconsider that decision.
The sudden change of mind by the
democratic conference is inexplicable,
unless the Bolsheviki and anti-Keren-
sky forces seized upon a moment in
the proceedings when the majority ele-
ments were absent to hurry thru a
reconsideration of Tuesdays vote and
then had sufficient strength to over
throw the previous vote sustaining
Kerensky.
1t was pointed out that in the vote
of approval of a coalition government
the total number of delegates who
participated wkas 1,454. The second
vote for rejection was cast by only
993. Four hundred and sixty-one
delegates were absent.
Rejection of a coalition plan in
such a fashion may or may not stand
KerensIxys supporters have insisted
that unless Kerensky's idea of a union
of all elements in the government was
approved. utter chaos would follow in
Russia.

Original Regulations Called Out
40 Per Cent Today.
But CantOnments Not Yet
Ready To Care for So Many

Washington, Oct. 3.-About 1000
men representing the third increment
to the national army are on their way
to sixteen environments where already
half the 6S7,0OO called to the colors
by the president are mobilized. Altho
today's quota should be forty per cent
under regulations promulgated by
Provost Marshal Crowder local condi-
tions in the various states have re-
duced the general average of the in
crement to 20 or IS per cent.
Coincident with the start of the
third division of the new national
army for the training camps today, the
railroads war board issued a state
ment in connection with the part
which the railroads have played in
handling the biggest troop movement
ever attempted in this country.
Including the national guard, the
regular army and the new national
army, the railroads to date have NOV
ed approximately 100000 soldiers
from their homes to training camps or
embarkation points" says the state
ment.
The longest haul made in the new
national army movement to date was
that of the special train which moved
the citizen soldiers from Yuma, Ari-
zona, to Fort Rely. Kansas, a distance
of 1,514 miles. This trip occupied As

Action of Congress AutOmati-

Washington, Oct. 3.-Operation of
the interstate commerce commits
sion's decision in the celebrated in
termountain rate cases which was to
have become effective October Is,
has been postponed indefinitely to
permit the commission to consider
certain proposals for increased rates
which cannot become effective with
out its approval.
By a blanket order last June, which
was expected to close up the long
contested case, the railroads were au-
thorized to increase some rates, re-
duce a few others, and permit the re-
mainder to stand
Congress, in the meanwhile, how
ever, amended the rate law so that
no increase may become effective for
a term of years without the specific
approval of the commission. To meet
this change in the law the commits
sion has been obliged to suspend its
decision authorizing increases which
was to have become effective October
Is, and now will have to consider
each increase on its merits. Thus a
final closing of the case probably will
be long postponed.
The whole iStermountain territory
west of line drawn north and south
thru Denver, is affected. The sus-
pended rates propose increases from
eastern cities to intermountain ter
ritory on agricultural implements,
canned goods, clothing, cotton, glass.

chinery, paper and books, plumber S

Toxic, Oct 3.-The most destructive
typhoon and flood in twenty years to-
day destroyed thousands of buildings,
rendered 10000 homeless, paralyzed
railroads and shipping and did
$4,000. 600 damage in the city of
Toxic alone. At least eighty are dead
The storm broke Monday. 1t
struck first in the vicinity of Toxic
bay and over the eastern Pacific. The
whole shore line was inundated. A
small tidal wave accompanied the
wind and rain. At Yokohama har-
Dor cargo boats were swept under by
this wave of water.
A complete estimate of the damage
or of the loss of life will be impos-
sibIe for several days. The official
estimate is at least 80 dead in Toxic
alone. Newspapers predict this fig
ure will be doubled.
Wires Down-Reports Few.
The telegraph system is utterly de-
moralized and reports of loss of life
or damage in other parts of the en-
pire are lacking. The Sumida river
is still rising and it was predicted to-
day that twenty thousand additional
homes will be flooded in the Toxic

The hurricane stripped roofs off
buildings, whipped ships from their
moorings and beat the downpour of

IRIGOYEN STANDS PAT
Argentine President Unswcrved From
Stand for Neutrality.

Buenos Aires, Oct. 3.-President
Irigoyen stood pat today on neutrality
in the war, his denial of sentiments
attributed to him by the national
juvenile committee. and postponement
of martial law DEGREES in the general
strike.
The Argentine rural society. a COM
bination of commercial, industrial and
financial interests met today to adopt
resolutions urging that the govern
ment forcibly end the strike.
1t was reported that President
Irlgoyen would again make formal de-
mand on the railroads tomorrow that
they restore transportation whether by
submission to all strikers demands or
not was not specified.
To offset the recent public demon
strations favoring rupture of Argen-
tina's relations with Germany, the
continued neutrality advocates are
planning a monster mass meeting Sat
urday. Its hackers assert their pur-
pose is furnishing the government
with convincing proof that the pre-
dominant sentiment in the nation is
for firm neutrality.
