Bucharest, Monday, Sept. 25.—(Via London, Sept. 27.)—Details of the great battle on the Dobrudja front, which lasted from September 17 to September 19 and ended, according to_General Averesco, in the decisive defeat of the Germans and Bulgarians, are given in an official statement is- sued by the war office today. The statement says: “The supreme command learned on September 17 that detachments of our forces had been compelled to retire before superior enemy forces and were falling slowly back, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. Measures were taken to meet the situation and a desperate battle began on a front stretching from the Danube to the Black Sea. “The fighting opened along the Danube, where enemy columns con- sisting of Germans endeavored to force their way into Chernavoda. This effort was defeated by the Rou- manians, who with repeated bayonet attacks supported-by the fire of three monitors in the river brought the ad- vance of the enemy to a standstill. “In two ddys*fighting of the most desperate character the enemy suf- fered heavy losses, its massed forma- tions being mowed down by artillery fire. In the center it was driven from trenches which it momentarily suc- ceeded in penetrating by the allied Roumanian, Russian and Serbian troops. “Finally at 9 o'clock in the evening of September 19 the enemy onslaught reached its climax. The allies by a formidable counter attack overthrew the enemy’s right wing, which fled. The enemy losses were great. Every- where heaps of corpses were found and in front of one division alone 5,000 rifles were picked up. The allied troops then advanced, driving the en- smy before them.” Former Sioux City Man Throws Himself In Front of Train Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 27.—(Spe- cial Telegram.)—J. C. Sloan, aged about 68, killed himself this afternoon by throwing himself under the wheels of an Illinois Central passenger train as it was leaving the local depot.

Little is known of him here except that he came from Sioux City some months ago. Within some weeks after reaching Sioux Falls he made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide, by plunging from a bridge into the Big Sioux river, being rescued in an unconscious condition.

Arthur Mullen, democratic national committeeman for Nebraska, makes it known to the world and his brother that he holds the only genuine and of- ficial acceptance of an invitation ex- tended to President Wilson to visit Omaha on October 5. He wants it distinctly and positively and absolute- ly understood that all other accep- tances are spurious and immaterial and incompetent and irrelevant and a few other things. The fact of the business is, Mr. Mullen is angry and perturbed. He maintains that the semi-centennial celebration committee which invited all the people did not take him into counsel before they did the audacious thing of extending the invitation. But Mr. Mullen holds in his strong right hand a telegram from Vance McCormick, dated September 23, stating that the president will be here, and he received another telegram on Tuesday stating that Mrs, Wilson will accompany the president. Committeeman Mullen states that the plans arranged by the local semi- centennial committee have not been approved by the president and may not be approved for several days. “I am going to have something to say about this matter. Don't I hold the only official acceptance of the WILSON MAY PTAY 18 HOLES IN OMAHA Or it May Be Nine Holes, but Anyway He Has Been Offered Use of Country Club Links. PLANS ARE NOT APPROVED Even during the exigency of the Mexican troubles, the pressure of the diplomatic tinkering with the Euro- pean powers and the heat of politics, President Wilson has clung te- naciously to his morning golf game. A round on the links has always been his principal recreation. So when the nation’s executive arrives i Omaha for his visit-October 5, he will find that the ever-accommodating and ever-thoughtful Omaha will have pro- vided for a morning of pleasure on the links. An elaborate program for Presi- dent Wilson's visit to Omaha was submitted to-the executive office at Long Branch, N. J., yeslc;day. The presideft RasTot yet appraved the pro- gram, except to review the parade and to speak in the evening, but it is expected that he will do so before he starts west. The golf game in the morning is scheduled for the Omaha County club. John W. Redick, chairman of the golf committee of the club, has extended to the executive the freedom of the club and the golf course, and will ar- range a foursome to include the presi- dent and a trio of Omaha players, Reviewing Stand. Plans have been drawn for the re- viewing stand which will be erected on the north side of the court house for President Wilson when he visits Omaha October 5. The stand will be placed over the sidewalk, with the front extending slightly, beyond the curb line. Seats for 500 invited guests who will sit with the presi- dent will be arranged in ticrs at the back of and conuected with the presi- dent’s stand. The space which will be set aside for the president will be 20x20 feet | and will be enclosed by a railing. It| will be separated on either side from | the public reviewing stands which will be erected in front of the court house. | A special stairway will be construct- ed for the president and his | party. The floor of the stand will be | carpeted and ecasy chairs will be placed at the service of the nation’s executive, the president here as the president of | own | resolutions set forth, OMAHA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1916—TWELVE PAGES. New Democratic Boss Peeved Over Nonpartisan Plans for Wilson Visit president to visit Omaha,” remarked Mr. Mullen, who wishes to disavow any political significance in this. What piques Mr. Mullen most is the fact that the local semi-centen- nial committee, a public-spirited and nonpartisan body of men, proceeded | matter is over. Don't loffirial acceptance, sh’} \’fi president will come to ig\' con- tinued the big democ.aticviocal boss. In other words, Mr. Mullen wants it known that he is going to have something to say about how the | president shall spend his time while in Omaha. It is further understood ! hot these days. Nor is that all. Mr. Mullen is try- ing to arrange that the president shail devote at least am hour of his time while here for a cdnference with lo- cal democratic leaders. No political significance at all, at all, but just to talk over matters. Nebraska democrats evidently in- tend to whoop it up during President Wilson's visit to Omaha. Chairman the democratic state mittee have made plans to open a branch headquarters at the Paxton hotel in this city October 2 to 7, and are flooding the state with in- vitations to all Ak-Sar-Ben visitors to stop at the branch headquarters dur- | ing thei Omaha. NEW BLACKHALL PLOTIS UNCOVERED Rich Iowan Pays $10,000 to Chicago Lawyer and Two Young Women for Silence. MANN AOTESOARE IS USED ~Chicago, Sept 27.—Investigation of a new blackmail plot involying a rich Iowan, who is alleged to have been fleeced out of $10,000, was started by federal officials tcday. The method of extortion was de- clared to be the same as was em- ployed by the so-called $1,000,000 blackmail syndicate, agents of the federal Department of Justice said. Two young women and a Chicago at- torney are involved. Neither their names nor the name of*the lowa vic- tim will be made public until arrests are_made. The lowa merchant, who is a widower, is said to have been sur- prised in a compromisiag situation and his arrest by a man posing as a government agent followed. Plead- ings of his companion led to the sug- gestion, federal officials caid, that the affair might be adjusted by the pay- ment of money. The Jowan paid. Savings Banks Ask Federal Control of Railla_y Traffic Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 27. — Con- gressional legislation in regard to railroads which would make federa! control superior to that of the state, was asked in resolutions adopted and announced today Dy the savings bank section of the Amgrican Bankers asso- ciation in annual® convention here, The resolutions declare that rail- imad improvements had been arrested | because of the “costly conflicts” aris- |ing between the various state and congressional rulings in the super- vision of the railroads. Less new mileage was built last year than in one-half century, with more lines in bankruptcy than at any time in the history of the country, the This was said to be due, “in a large measure, to the | impairment of railroad growth be- cause of in\_-eshnenl hesitancy, which has arisen in view of the confusion, waste and inefficiency of railroad John Latenser drew the plans for | the presidential stand and he will su- perintend the construction. | Hanly Asks People 0f Colorado to Vote | ; For Gov, Carlson Leadville, Colo., Sept. 27.—Gover- for George A.

Hanley’s indorsement, uttered at S lida, just before the special train departed for here was the first| he had given any candidate for office “I care not what you may do with ote me up or vote me down, My chief interest in Colo- rado is to urge you not to weaken your present law by adopting the pro- | posed iniquitous amendment this fall | which would permit the sale of beer. | As for me, if I were voting in the state this fall, I should cast my ballot for the present republican candidate | for governor.” ‘Boost in Price of | Milk is Unjustified New York, Sept. 27.—In a slal(n; ment dealing with the threatened | rise in the price of milk to 10 cents | ;|a quart after October 1, made public here last night, the New York milk committee stated that “no increase in the price of milk to the consumer is warranted from any facts which ! | have been presented to date.” An increase of 1 cent a quart, the )| committee pointed out, will add $15,- 000,000 to the consumers' annual out- lay for milk in the metropolitan dis- trict here, supervision by congress and at the same time by fo..y-eight states.” | Congress is asked to hear the com- mittee from the savings bank section before adopting any railroad legisla- tion.

L. G. Griifing of Clevela d, deputy grand chief of the brotherhood, and A, L. Gridley, organizer, called at the offices of the public service commis- sion late today and notified that body of the possible stril:e. They explain- ed to Chairman Straus that differ- ences between the members of their brotherhood and the Interborough had arisen, and that they sclicited an interview with President Shonts to discuss a possible settlement, and he refused to meet them, He requeited the good offices of the commission and will withhold final action until the commission's efforts looking to an :'uljustmenl. are reported, The grand jury today returned fif- teen llldlctmgnts agamst as many strikers or strike sympathizers, charg- ing them with stone throwing, assault and smashing windows, New York, Sept. 27.—~Union work- ers to the number of 125,000 went on strike today in sympathy with~the striking traction employes, according to figures given out at a meeting of representatives of labor unions. These were figures reported to the meeting by the union delegates, ac- cording to Ernest Bohm, state or- ganizer of the American Eederation of Labor. The trades which have re- 5£o:ldcd_lo the strike call, he said, are the United Garment Workers, six building trades unions, the paper hangers’ unions, house wreckers and a number of small organizations, Hohm declared that 263,000 more would go out tomorrow. Far less than 125000 union em- ployes responded.to_the call, accord- ing to the reports at police headquar- ters today. The officials’ said, how- ever, that it was difficult to obtain an accurate estimate and declined to fix a definite figure. Private cahvasses among the labor unions reported that at least twenty- two union. had failed to respond to strike calls this forenoom. The only report received at police headquarters was that 250 members of the Painter’s union had refused to report for work, Attempts to estimate the number of strikers were complicated by the fact that thousands of Jewish workers will remain idle over Thursday and Friday in celebration of the beginning of the Jewish new year. Of the 250,~ 000 expected by the leaders to strike, 143,000 are members affiliated with the United Hebrew trades, which stop work each year at this time for the Jewish holiday. Among. the organizations which have voted to strike today according to those directing the movement are: Ladies' garment workery, 95,000; clothing workers, 40,000; painters and decorators, 15,000; furriers, 15,000; tin- smiths, 10,000; butchers, 10,000; sta- tionary firemen, 2,500; paper box mak- ers, 7,000; milliners, 6.800; jewelry workers, 3,000; brewery workers, 6,000, Total 209,500. The leaders asserted that in addi- tion to those to quit work today, they would be able to call out 100,000 more daily for the next two ¢ * three days, At the last moment it became known that T. V. C’Cannor, national president of the Longshoremen's union, had decided not to call out the 45,000 members of tha. organization today. It was stated there was doubt whether he would ask them to take part in the strike at any time, The general strike convention, at- tended by representatives from the international unions having headquar- e ters in this city, was called to order * here today, after considerable delay by Hugh Frayne, state organizer of the American Federation of Labor. None of the leaders would make a statement as to what his union had done or would do. Mr. Frayne said he was satisfied with the situation, but declined to answer when asked what the situation was.
