FORTS ROAR WELCOME AND WHISTLES SCREA M AS THE
 ROYAL PAIR ENTER PORT
HERO KING IS
 ON AMERICAN
 SOIL AT LAST George Washington Reaches Hoboken Amid Great Popular Tumult.

New York, Oct. 2.-AIbert Of Bel gtum, warrior king of the brave Iittfe nation to which honor was dearer than life, landed at Hoboken at 12:O7 o'clock today-the first reigning mon arch of Europe to set foot on American soil. With him came Elizabeth, his heroic queen, and Prince Leopold, heir apparent to the throne
 They were welcomed with the dig nity with which the nation greets her distinguished guests. Companies of regulars and marines presented arms as they descended the gangplank of the transport George Washin gton to be received by Vice President Marshall and other representatives of the gov ernment.
 The Americans who thronged the Hoboken pier where lines flying the ensign of imperial Germany once decked, greeted King Albert with the respect due the ruler of a. sovereign state blended with affection and ad- miration. It seemed to them he was first of all a soldier and a gentleman and only incidentally a king.
 Rain and fog obscured the sky line of New York and the neighboring New Jersey cities as the liner crept slowly up the bay, escorted by many seaplanes and a squadron of 14 de- stroyers under command of Rear Ad- miral Plunkett with a fleet of vel come craft hanging on behind. Throughout the night six destroyers had circled constantly about the transport as a guard of honor. When the ship reached Ambrose Light it was boarded by Baron DeCartier De- Marchienne, Belgian ambassa dor to the United States who was the first to welcome his sovereign to America. As the George Washington crept
 through the Narrows past Quaran-
 tine, the guns of the fort which guard the harbor boomed a Presi- dentiaI salute. The flag of the royal house of Belgium was broken out at
 the mast head of the transport5 with the Stars and Stripes, and the war ships dipped their colors.
 Three thousand American troops, fellow passengers with royalty on the steamship, lined the rails and cheered
 themselves hoarse as they sighted the outlines of the Statue of Liberty through the mist. They had spent
 the night at anchor almost in sight of New York, and they were eager to be home again.

Claims Son Forged His Signature Father Goes to Bank For Money and Finds It
 Gone. RENO" HELD FOR
 THEFT OF VIOLIN Young Gargatio Had ob-
 tained Sum of
 $1,083.

When Frank Gargalio, of 234 Jack2 son avenue went to the Bridgeport Trust company yesterday afternoon to draw out some money to get his son, Idward Gargalio, CT Edward Reno, as he is better known in this city, out of jail, he discovered that Edward had been there before him and on false orders had drawn out S1,088, the fathers entire savings. Young Garga1io, or "Reno," was arrested yesterday afternoon in Bridgeport charged with stealing a violin valued at $2OO from Newark, N. J. He was lodged at police head quarters, but after bonds had been fixed the elder Gargalio determined to draw the money out of the bank and furnish bail for his son. When he called at the Bridgeport Trust company, he discovered for the first time that his son had obtained the cash about a month ago.
 According to Reno's own story he got his father to sign a blank piece of paper by telling him that he had a theatrical contract which needed the parents signature. The young man then filled out an order and drew sS8 from his fathers bank ac- count. Some time later he worked the same game again, and drew s1,O0O.
 After securing the cash, Reno de- parted for New York city. He claims that he stopped a. the best hotels. spent s4O0 for clothes, and more money for jeweIry.
 In order to ward off any suspicion on the part of his father, Reno told his parents that he had secured a good ir Ha made weekend trips to his home in this city, and on every trip gave his father $50 of his own money. He returned $2OO in this manner
 Reno alleges that he worked in Churchill's restaurant in New York, as a member of the orchestra, and that he signed a theatrical contract which was to have gone into effect today.
 The young man is a violinfst of con siderably ability. He spent the sSS which he drew from the bank the first time on his violin, and depended on his ability as a musician to keep him going in New York after his money gave out.
 Reno stoutly denies that he stole a violin in Newark, N J. He claims that he borrowed the instrument from a friend in that city, and the fiddle was in turn borrowed from him by man with whom he was rooming in Newark This man went off with the violin.
 In talking over his case this morn ing Reno said:
 I don't care what they do with me. l took the money because it was so easy to get, and now I am ready to take my punishment. But if I go to jail l want 10 take my violir with me. l won't stay anywhere without that fddIe.''
 , The boys father maintains that his son forged the orders which were pre- sented to the bank. He hatly denies that he signed any papers presented to him by his son.
 In the City court this jnlorning the case was continued until tomorrow morning under bonds Of s5e0. In d. dition to the Newark charge. there will probably be 6 charge Of okainiag money under false pretenses lodged against young Reno.

 Soldiers. NINE PERSONS WERE
 KILLED IN RIOT Fighting Continued All Day Yesterday-Officer
 Murdered.

Helena, Ark, Oct. With 500 fed eral troops due to arrive today from Camp Pike, and several hundred dep uty sheriffs and civilians, all heavily armed, moving about the affected area. officials here believed that the sit nation arising from yesterdays race trouble at Elaine, this county, where nine persons were killed, would be brought under control today.
 After an all day fight yesterday in the streets of Elaine between white posse men and organized negroes arm ed with long range rifles the casual ties were two white men and seven whites and blacks wounded, some ser iously.
 Fighting ceased only with the com ang of darkness and negroes were re- ported banded in the cane breaks about, awaiting daylight to renew ilosttlities.
 Governor Charles Brough, who is accompanying the troops, was expect ed to call conferences between repre- sentative whites and negroes during the day.
 The race trouble started with an attack Tuesday evening upon w. A. Adkins, q special railroad officer, Charles Pratt, a deputy sheriff, and a negro trusty, who had gone by auto mobile to Elaine to arrest a suspected "bootIegger." The officers stopped near Elaine to repair tire puncture and were fired upon by unknown persons. Adkins fell dead and Deputy Pratt was wounded. The negro escaped and called the sheriff S office here by telephone and advised officials of the affair.
 A posse was immediately sent to Elaine, where it was fired upon, ii is said by negroes. The fight, which continued all day yesterday, followed. When the situation became dangerous the government was asked to send troops As there is no national guard in the state, Governor Brough obtained permission for troops to be sent from Camp Pike.
 A large number of negroes were taken prisoner by the posses and most of them brought here. One white man was also captured. He has been identified as U. s. Bratton, Jr. of Little Rock, Ark. According tC the authorities a quantity of ques- tionable literature was found in his possession. He has been charged with murder in connection with the killing of Adkins.

TWO BODIES ARE FOUND ON
 GAL, BEACH Were Buried in Sands and Wore Insignia of Avia-
 tion Corps.

Nogales, Ariz., Oct. 2-The bodies of two men dressed in army uniforms and with insignia of the Aviation corps in their pockets, found buried on the beach of the Bay of Los An geles, Lower California, about 300 miles south of San Diego, are believ- ed to be those of Lieutenants Fred B. Waterhouse and Cecil H. Connolly, according to a report made to mili- tary authorities today by Joe Allen Richards of Chicago on his arrival from Guatmas. Mexico.
 Lieutenants Warehouse and Con- nelly disappeared six weeks ago while on border patrol duty between Yuma. Arizona, and San Diego. According to Richards the bodies were found by himself and William Rose, both Americans, when they landed on the Bay of Los Angeles, Sept. 23, to get water, leaving the steamer Navari for this purpose.
 The dead men wore overalls over their uniforms and in their pockets were insignia of the Aviation corps and jewelry which the discoverers took as a positive means of identifi- cation. Richards said the Mexican authorities at Sante Roslia took the jeWeIry from them. Included in the jewelry, he said, were gold cuff links engraved with the initials tC'. The bodies were reburied, he said, as iden- tification was impossible because of decomposition.
 Lieutenants Warehouse and Con- nelly left Yuma. Arizona, for their border patrol flight to San Diego Aug. 20, and were never seen again although a thorough search for them was made by other aviators.

TONIGHT
FOR DELEGATES
TO YANK'S MEET
Tom and Mike Gibbons on Card
at Auditorium Staged by
Knights of Columbus

The boxing carnival that the
Knights OF Columbus will stage to-
night at the auditorium for the dele
gates to the legion convention and all
former service men promises to draw
Ia packed house.
The stellar attraction will be the
six-round exhibition between Tom and
Mike Gibbons which is expected to
bring the house down. These two
clever boxers who acted as boxing I'm.
structors at camps in this country are
considered two of the most scientific
fighters in the pugilistic world today
and their exhibitions always are we'll
attended. Although brothers, they dc
not hesitate to exchange heavy blows
and it is not unusual to see blows
struck even after the bell is rung, SO
excited and anxious do they become
to out over winning wallop. This
was seen at the exhibition they
staged at the Mandan fair last month.
Tommy Comiskey Of Chicago and
Johnny Tillman of Minneapolis are
booked for the semi-fnals and this
promises to be a close fight. Eeacl
man claims he is the better and the
stx-rounds Of milling will undoubtedly
keep the fight fans on their feet all
the time the men are in the ring
Comiskey especially is favorite with
fight fans in this section and in twen-
ty fights he claims he has never lost a
decision.
When Rilly Whalen of st. Paul and
Bobby Ward Of Milwaukee meet there
is promised one Of the fastest exhibi'
tions that has ever bten staged in the
state Both men are clever, quick and
aggressive and Ward, who is a former
service man is expected to shade his
opponent slightly. Whalen is fast
lightweight, however, and any blows
that land on him will have to travel
with buring speed.
Besides the boxing, the local council
O fthe knights Of Columbus have ar,
ranged for singing by the former ser.
vice men. Miss Bergliot Caspary will
lead the singing and will also sing a
few solos. Other music will be pro.
vided.

S0VIETS FACING
. SWIFT DISASTER
!. SAYDISPATCHES
Hemmed In on Four Sides, End
of Bolshevism in Russia
Seems Near
POLES CAPTURE KOVNO
Denekine's Men Drive in Great
Wedge-European Sc
curities Go Up
POLES CAPTURE KOVNO

London, Oct. 16.-Forced back by
the onslaught of enemies on four
fronts, the armies Of the soviet gov
ernment of Russia appear to be facing
a period pregnant with swift disaster.
General Denekine's Cossacks from the
south, Polish forces from the west,
northwestern Russian legions on the
northwest, and northern Russian
troops from the north have forged
ahead until it seems the Bolshevik
armies are between the upper and
neither millstones.
Petrograd is doomed to capture, in
the opinion of observers, General
Yudinitch being at Gatchina, only Is
miles south of the former Russ capi-
tai. In the extreme north the north
ern Russian army has broken the re-
sistance Of the Bolsheviki, according
to reports, and is pursuing the army
toward 1mega, village about $50
miles west Of Archangel. Farther to
the south it has forced it's war far
down along the Dvina river.
Poles Take KOvnO
Polish forces have captured Kovno,
on the extreme northern end of their
line. Denekine's men have driven a
great wedge into central Russia as far
as Orel, and are thought to be on their
way toward Tula, an important rail-
way center that is considered the key
to Moscow. .'
The mornings newspapers conspicu-
ously feature reports of successes by
General Yudinitch and Denekine and
the presumed impending collapse of
the soviet government in Russia.
Editorial Comment Favorable
Editorial comment, while recalling
frequent past predictions of the fall Of
Bolshevism, which did not material
ize, think the present position is more
menacing for. the soviet government
than it has been at any previous time.
Confidence in financial circles in the
coming defeat of Bolshevism was
shown in the strength of securities in
the stock exchange yesterday, many
advancing sharply, with an active de-
mand.
LETTS RETAIN RIGA
So successful was the defense of
Riga proper against the Germans and
Russians, under Gen. Berromondt that
: the Lettish government considers it
safe to return to the city, according to
latest official advices. The enemy still
holds the outskirts of the city. but the
fighting has diminished to desultory
rife fire
Private and official advices indicate
that the reservoir Of Bolshevism has
drawn closer to the bottom, and that
they are unable to provide sufficient
forces to maintain defense on all
fronts. General Yudinitch's advance,
which has already carried him to with.
i'll 25 miles of Petrograd, undoubtedly
has precipitated a crisis.

NATIONAL GUARD
H0N0RS GENERAL
FRASER IN EAST
Head of States Military Forces
Named Chairman of Ex-
ecutive Committee

Adjutant General Angus Fraser was
elected chairman Of the executive COM
mittee of the National Guard aSsocia-
tion at a recent meeting of the organi-
zation in New York. This is probably
the highest office in this nationwide
association and reflects on General
Fraser's reputation as national guard
officer and worker.
General Fraser stated today that the
National Guard association was Op-
posed to both the Chamberlain-K Kahn
bill and the Wadsworth- h-Kahn bill be
fore congress. The former bill is for
the purpose of increasing the regular
peace time army to 100000 men and
the latter provides for conscription in
to the regular army in times of peace.
TLL-ADVISED; UNAMERICAN"
"Ihe National Guard association has
fought these two bills because We con-
slider them ill-advised and un-Ameri-
can" said General Fraser. 1--WE have
laid the facts before the men at Wash
ington and both Senator Wadsworth
and Senator Chamberlain had with
drawn their support from the bills they
each introduced. We are confident that
they will never be enacted.
National guard officers do not be-
licve that it is necessary to conscript
nen into the regular army in times of
peace nor do we believe it is necessary
to maintain huge standing army at
great expense in times of peace. The
national guard is the proper method
for training the citizens Of this country
in military duties and we are positive
that we do not have to resort to con-
scription to obtain sufficient numbers
to train.
1T is an undisputable fact that men
who live in the same neighborhood as
do those men who desire military train
ing know those men better, understand
their habits and desires and can there
fore train them to higher degree OF
perfection than can strangers. For in
stance man from Alabama can moi
understand the men of North Dakota
as well as a man from this state can
And the same is true of the man from
North Dakota going to Alabama tt
train men from that state This
briefly, is what would happen if we
had universal conscription for the ing
ular army and men trained by regular
army officers"
