BETTING ON MAY0RALTY
Odds of to 1 on Fitzgerald Against Campner Reported From New HaVCn=IeW WagcrS Made.

New Haven, Sept, 24.-With the beginning of the last week of the municipal campaign betting on the candidates is extremely light. But two large bets have been made. One bet of $500 that Mayor Campner would be elected has been placed against $1,OOO that David E. Fitz- gerald will win. Another bet is $2OO against $1OO that the republicans will secure more than a 25O majority in the ninth ward. All betting centers on the Fitzgerald -Campner contest, and the adds favor the democratic candidate to 4. But few wagers were made on the rest of the ticket. due chiefly to the quiet that pre- vails. light vote is expected this election by both party leaders despite the strenuous efforts made by the dem OcratiC and republican organiza- tions to get every voter to the polls
 An attempt has been made in cer- tain quarters to confuse the identity of the democratic candidate fo> mayor with that of Alderman David Fitzgerald of the third ward, who is the well known boxing referee Big Dave is a loyal supporter of Little Dave who is the standard bearer of the party.
 About 200 have been invited to the big reception that the Young Mems Republican club will give Mayor Campner and the republican city ticket tonight. Another large rcpub- ican meeting will be held at the club on Thursday when the ward workers will gather for ther annual banquet

kERENSkY ACCUSED
 0F TAXING REVOLT
Charged With Conspirin8 With
 K0rnilOff to Become Dictator

Petrograd, Sept. 24.-The Torni- lotf mystery, arising out of the recent revolt has developed dimensions which threaten the existence of the cabinet, particularly the position of Premier Kerensky. The newspapers representing the Left and the Right parties demand an explanation from the government, while the Bolshevik organs openly accuse the Premier, in the words of the NabOtchi Poot of being in a conspiracy with Korniloff ito crush the Petrograd proletariat and the Workmens and Soldiers Delegates with the help of a cavalry corps sent against Petrograd." Tho news. aper asks why, if the published documents are forged, no denial has been issued
 Maxim Gorky's paper. Novaia Zhizn, which, being unfrendly to- ward Kerensky, must be taken with reserve, declares that the affair is causing a sensation to the ranks of the government that M. Terestchenko, the foreign minister, yesterday con- versed by telephone with M. Keren- sky about this matter. whereupon kerensky postponed his return to Petrograd. The newspaper adds that the mem DeTS Of the government had decided that M. Kerensky ought to make a statement on the subject.
 A more serious indication of trouble is that the Bolshevik group in the bureau of the Central Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates has carried by an overwhelming majority a resolution demanding an explanation. The reso- lutiOn refers to "revelations concern ing the actions of members and agents of the provisional government in connection with the preparation in General Korniloff's headquarters of a conspiracy against the revolution" and continues:
 The plan was to announce an indi- vidual or collective dictatorship, at the same time declaring Petrograd under martial law, then mercilessly to break up the Petrograd revolutionary and working class organizations. un- der the pretext of crushing an imag- mary Bolshevik plot"
 The signatories of the resolution demand that the members of the Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates, who were then cabinet ministers, Skobeleff, Gabor); Avskentieff. Gn- terior), and Tchernef, (Agriculture), make a statement of all the facts known to them

WHY HAIR FALLS OUT

Dandruff causes a feverish irritation of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dand- ruff, get a 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug store, pour a little in your hand and rub well into scalp. After a few applications all dandruff dis appears and the hair stops coming out.
