ASSASSINATION OF | AUSTRIA PREMIER 'PURELY POLITICAL Count Karl Stuergkh Slain by Super-Radical Socialist Be- cause Hé Would Not Con- vene Parliament, TWO OTHER MEN WOUNDED Dr. Adler, Who Killed Min- - ister, Known as Liebknecht of Country. ' I8 CALM WHEN ARRESTED BULLETIN. London, Oct. 22.—A wireless dis- patch from Rome reports that there were grave riots in' Vienna affer the assassination of Count Stuergkh which fhe police were powerless to quell. The wireless also reports a re- newal of the manifestations in Athens in favor of the United States interven-~ ing in behalf of the Greeks against the occupation of Athens apd Piraeus by entente allied forces. Vienna, Saturday, Oct. 21.—(Via Berlin and Sayville by Wireless, Oct. 22))—The assassination of the Aus- trian premier, Count Karl Sturerghk, was purely political and was induced by his refusal to convene parliament, according to the admission of Dr. Frederick Adler, his assailant, short- ly after his arrest. Dr. Adler is an eccentric and super- radical socialist, sometimes known as “The Liebknecht of Austria.” He is editor of Der Kampf. Dr. Adler’s arrest was not accom- plished wtihout the wounding of two men, who leaped at him after he had fired on County Stuergkh and before Austrian and German officers over- powered him, Baron Achrenthal Wounded. The wounded men are Baron Aeh- renthal, brother of the late foreign minister, and the head waiter of the hotel in which the shooting occurred. Count Steurghk arrived at the ho- tel at 10:30 o'clock. With him at luncheon were Baron Aehrenthal, Count Toggenburg, governor of the Tyrol; Herr Jacobson, a prominent Vienna musician, and an actor from hte Court theater. At 2 o'clock a man unknown to the premier took a seat three tables away. He ate luncheon and paid for -the meal, but lingesed.-at the table. .. 3 Shortly after 3 o'clock he arose, advanced and fired missed. The next two struck the premier in the head. Without a word, Count Stuerghk fell lifeless in his chair, Adler Is Calm. Baron Achrenthal sprang toward Adler. /The head waiter grasped the ha‘d that held the revolver. Ad- ler wested his arm free and fired two shots. ~ Baron Achrenthal ~was wounded in the foot. The waiter re- ceived only a superficial wound. Dr. Adler apparéntly was the calme est man in the room. He gave his name to the police without hesitation and added: “If you please, gentlemen, I know perfectly well what I have done. I shall not resist arrest.” 0 News of the assassination spread like wildfire and- was received with indignation and sorrow. . The assassin, who is 32 years old, is a son of Dr. Victor Adler, a reich- sarth deputy and a socialist of mild type.

Potter Shows Why Men Should Vote for Hughes Trenton, Neb., Oct. 22.—(Special.) —George W. Potter, New York, sent out by the republican national com- mittee, spoke here Saturday night. He is well posted and held the at- tention of the audience until the close. His portrayal of democratic inefficiency was complete and should convince any thinking man that the only way to vote right this fall is to cast a ballpt for Charles E, Hughes. C. W.

It should be remémbered that before congress adjourned, bills were presented by republicans to permit the Guards- men to vote by mail, just as they would be able to vote if they were gelting their practice drills somewhere in Nebraska instead of in Texas or New Mexico, but this proposal received no consideration whatever. was detained long enough to deliver the goods to the Brotherhood leaders, holding the stop-watch and a promise Congress to turn over the trainmen’s votes, but it did not have a minute to spare on legislation for the benefit of the boys on the border. Disfranchisement of the soldiers meant no more to the controlling southern democratic bosses than disfranchisement of the blacks in the southern states. To give the Guardsmen the right to vote promised no benefits to Wilson and his demdcratic associates because those from the north are preponderantly republican and those from the south| are not needed by the democrats. . Disfranchisement is one of the yegular props of the democratic regime, but this is the fip§t time they have been able to resort to the disfranchisement game outside of the solid south, and our boys on the border are the victims.

Lincoln, Oct. 22.—(Special.)—The efficiency of the democratic state ad- ministration, much discussed by dem- ocratic speakers and upon which Governor Morehead has consented to speak this week, filling several dates for the state committee, has been rudely shattered by the discovery that three departments under the governor have failed to conform to law. It was discovered that these three »| departments have never made reports to the state auditor, as the law re- quires, the report of the aduitor show- ing a notation, “No repbrt.” Just why other departments are required to report and these are left to ran a secret seryice bureau on expendi- tures, has not been explained. Thesc departments are the fire commission, the hotel commission and the state printing board. | EFFECT IN STATE Commjssioner Hall Says It Will Have to Be Considered When Roads Ask Increase. SOMEBODY MUST PAY COST (From a Statt Correspondent.) Lincoln, Oct. 22—(Special.)—In the passage of the Adamson eight- hour law for trainmen, the State Rail- way commission in the future will be cfimpelled to take into consideration the amount of additional money it will take for the railroads to pay this extra amount in Nebraska when considering any application for a raise in rates or for any application which may come up covering the cost of operation, ac- cording to Thomas L. Hall, one of the commissioners. “Of course I like to see the railroad men get all they can,” said Mr! Hall, “but the proposition simply means that som;onc will‘:iavedto %ay l‘c‘l)r th‘:t raise, and if the railroads should make an’wp%c}t‘xblx{ifor 4 raise, the state commission, whether it wanted to or not would simply have to take that into consideration and make its rul- ing accordingly.” This was one of the main conten- tiofis of the carriers in the rate cases, that added expense to the roads sim- ply meant that more revenue would have to come from some where to meet that added expense, and as the roads derive their revenues from the patronage they receive from the peo- ple, it simply means that the man Who pays the freight will have to pay the added expense qpming from the raise in wages brought about by the eight- hour law, . It is simply a plain example in arithmetic, according to Mr. Hall. If added exypense comes, added revenue must correspondingly follow, al- though, of course, the roads would have to make a showing that they had to have the added revenues before the state commission or any other com- mission would grant them the raise. In the face of the fact that two Ne- braska roads are already working un- der a receiver, it looks as if added ex- pense might rhean something in the way of added revenues. Kill Ferocious Dog Which Mangled Child | “Jack,” the monster bulldog which Saturday afternoon, in a fit of rage, nearly tore Mrs. Inez Haney, Sherman avenue, and her 8-year-old son to shreds, was killed yesterday afternoon. The animal, which had been kept chained in the Haney woodshed, be- came enraged when little Vernon, ac- cidentally stepped upon his foot, and he was tearing the boy fearfully when his mother came to the rescue. In some manner. the-animal escaped, and ‘was the object o fa shotgun hunt by neighbors for some time.

It was stated that there has been no genuine reyisiou of the prayer book since the Reformation. Should Reflect Modern Spirit. In support of the memorial it will be urged that the prayer book should reflect the teachings of modern schol- arships regarding the Biblical text, that it should show an appreciation of the beauty and joy of creation, in- stead of the present declarations «that all are “miserable sinners” and that “children are born in sin The memorial is signed by R, Ful- ton Cutting, New York; Rev.

Rey. Edward S. Brown of Cam- bridge, Mass., objected to the words: “Increasing number,” asserting that that is a matter of personal opinion and as a result they were stricken from the resolution as adopted. The clergy and laity of the church are urged in a resolution adopted by the house of deputies to the “rigid observance of all social- habits of those Christian principles, which make for sobriety, purity and holi- ness in life.” The resolution also asserted that “the awful tragedy of Euroge de- mands a, searching investigation of the standards of our individual and corporate life.” “American life,” it is asserted, “is marked in a vulgar and flagrant way by ostentatious luxury and prodigal extravagance, creating to make more evident the cleavage between rich and poor,” Divorce Question Goes Over. That the fight within the church for the prohibition of the remarriage by its clergymen of divorced persons was not ended ‘when the house of deputies recently rejected the pro- posal was evidenced today in a reso- lution introduced by 'Rev. Leighton Parks of New York and referred to the commission on holy matrimony, This proposed a canonical amend- ment, which would forbid clergymen performing such ceremonies and is, in a new form, the rejected proposal. With its reference to the commis- sion on holy matrimony, leaders of the convention asserted it was certain to become one of ‘the paramount is- sues in the 1919 general convention. Prohibition probably will' be dis- cussed before the convention next week. This was determined today, when a memorial submitted to the house of deputiesby the Church Temperance society was referred to a committee to be reported later in the session.

No casuafties have been reported officially. The following : official account of the attack was given out: “A hostile aeroplane approached Sheerness at about 1:45 p. m. today, flying very high. Four gombs were dropped, three of which fell into the harbor.

Plunging through snow, he finally landed in Loup City, wet and bedraggled, and chartering an- other automobile, hesmade his date, though arriving somewhat late.

HOT THREE-SIDED DEBATE || habitants to Leave Country Districts and Towns. OUTLINED TO MEDIATORS Atlantic, City, N. J., Oct. 22.—Gen- eral Carranza's decree of October 9, suspending constitutional guarantees throughout Mexico, as translated and laid before the American representa- ; tives on the Mexican joint commis- sion today, provides that for nearly all offenses not covered by the civil code, summary punishmeat may be inflicted by the military authorities. Interference with railway traffic, robbery, incendiarism and assault in its various forms are characterized as crimes punishable by death with- out the formality of trial when the evidence is apparent. In no case has the accused the right to appeal. Preamble of Decree. The preamble of the decree, which sets forth the reasons for the sus- pension of the guarantees and which was of special interest to the Ameri- can commissioners, follows: “Whereas, brigandage has devel- oped in the country, as an inevitable consequence of public upheavals. which have taken place during re- cent years, prnduce‘F by the struggle which It was necessary to carry out: First, to overthrow the power which’ had usurped the government of the republic and later to suppress the in- subordination of the division of the north, and to exterminate the horde which had invaded the state of Morelos. Purpose of Bands. “Whereas, the armed bands which still remain in various parts of the republic, remnants of cfvil war, 1o longer have any political significance, standard or pretext which can/justify then in their looting expeditions and raids, since it is the sole purpose such bands to attack villages and hamlets with the object of sacking’ hem, of committing outrages and as- sassinations, or to shoot up, attack or- dynamite moving trains for the rohhfll. cars, or by stations, warehouses and , or to tear up thg tracks or futroy the telegraph and telephon ines of federated companies and cors porations. f Railroad Traffic Hindered. = “Whereas, railroad traffic is hindered in this way on many occa- . sions,or is rendered uncertain since, although the government takes greatest care to protect the running - of trains and to give all possible protection to travelers, it is impos- 80 sible to avoid these criminalities be= . cause of the large number of railwa; lines and the facilities with whic the material factories elude the re- préssive action, of the authorities, as much because of the great extent of the national territory as because of its broken character and because of the protection which these bands fre- quently find among the rural popus lation, which is due particularly to the fear inspired by them, Brings Insecurity. “Whereas, brigandage in all its forms has brought insecurity in the country districts, forcing the inhabe itants of haciendias, ranches, hame- lets and other small communities to leave 'them and seck personal safety. in the large centers of population, which is notably injurious to agriculs ture, commerce and other sources of national wealth, and since the conse= quences of the evil we have been dis~ cussing have appeared recently even in the principal cities, f¢ even in the capital itself persons who were walking the streets have been attacked \at night; suburban trains have been held up and the passengers robbed; burglaries accompanied by violence have been of frequent occurs rence in “private residences; all of which has greatly alarmed the peo- ple, so that it is an urgent necessity that such a serious state of affairs be put an end to by an extreme meas- ure which may be efficacious in this\instance, and" which, in fact, had excellent results in analogous circumstances in other periods of the nation’s history, as was the case after the three years' war/ in the time of President Bonito Juarez.
