Against the Allies.

Buenos Aires, Sept. 13.-The cabi-
net late last night approved the ac-
ton of President Irigoyen in present.
ing passports to Count Luxburg.
1t is said to have considered
similar action in the case of Baron

demonstrations are all anti-Gernan.

Luxburg his passports was reached by

Kelly said: II never saw that AK
before today" to his lawyers as the
proceedings for the day closed.
The weapon which had been used
to end the lives Of father, mother
and four children in one family and
two visiting young women, had been
deposited on the table of the court
reporter as evidence. Kelly sat where
he faced the long handled blade and
his eyes wandered frequently to
where the instrument of death re.
posed.
TO REVIEW ALL MURDERS.
The early part of the day had been
given over to opening statements of
counsel. The minister is accused spe-
cihcally Of killing Lena Stillinger, but
the line of questioning in the selection
of jury indicated that the trial in
fact will be for the killing Of the eight
victims.
The state comes to trial con6dent-
ly expecting to convict Kelly. At
torney General Havner and his as
sistants claim they have reputable
witnesses who will testify that Kelly
related the details of the crime to
them before or during the hour the
murders were discovered at Villisca.
1t is contended by the prosecution
that Kelly told of the crime at Mace
donia upon his arrival there the Mon
day morning following the night of
the crime.
GIVE BLOODY DETAILS.
Early in the taking of testimony
four physicians who have been con-
nected with the case from the start
testified to the blood-curdling details
OF the crime for the purpose of get
ting before the jury the exact condi-
tons in the Moore home when the
bodies were found.
The four physicians described each
body as found and related the nature
OF the wounds and other details of
the human slaughter house.
A marked increase was noted in
the afternoon attendance of women,
During the day Kelly remarked to
one of his lawyers that some of the
assertions made by the attorney gen.
eral in his opening statement were not
true. Mrs. Kelly held her husbands
right hand several times during the
afternoon, as the prisoner seemed to
be more nervous than usual.
First Thrill of Trial.
The first thrill of the trial came
when Attorney Mitchell while making
the opening statement for the defense
to the jury, simulated with his arms
the probable position of the murderer
when he welded the death instru-
ment.
He dealt imaginary blow after blow
while two women in the audience COW
cred their faces.
Kelly was visibly affected.
The state may read the indictment
and make opening statement" were

NO FEAR OF CONFLICT.
M. Skobeleff, minister of labor in
the Kerensky cabinet and a member Of
the council of workmen's and soldiers
delegates, announced through the
Russian official news agency today
that General Korniloff's venture had
collapsed and that the army at his
headquarters has surrendered.
According to an official statement
lust issued, General Korniloff's at
tempt seems to have collapsed and
there is no longer any reason to fear
a collision between the two forces.
After General Alexief had been in
communication by telephone with
General Korniloff, the opinion was
expressed that the revolutionary gen.
eral later would abandon his enter
prise.

Near Governments Policy.
An outline of the constitution and
policy of the new government and the
future leadership of the army was
drawn today by Vice Premier Mex
rasoff.
General Russki M. Nekrasoff stat
ed, is to be named as commander on
the southern front; General Dragomi-
rolf will command on the western
front and General Diederichs will be
quartermaster general. The policy
which General Korniloff demanded
for army control will not be pursued,
according to the vice premier.
The government M. Nekrasoff de-
clared, will be conducted on the same
social basis as formerly. The govern
ment will not be a coalition one, he
added, inasmuch as its existence will
not depend upon the inter-party
agreement. He said M. Pieschehonoff,
the minister of food and supplies,
will resign, as, also will M. Savinkoff,
the assistant minister of war He in
dicated a change in the ministry of
foreign affairs also was probable.
Moslems Abandon Korniloff.
A division of General Korniloff' S
forces, composed of Moslem troops,
has reached Tsarskoe-Selo, fifteen
miles south of Petrograd. Kugusheff.

sent to treat with them and they
agreed to abandon resistance to the

that they be sent home to the Cau-

religionists. Premier Kerensky agreed
to the proposal.

 Col Roosevelt said he was shocked, surprised and pained" by the figures.
