STRUCK BY STREET CAR, BOY KILLED .Colored Boy on Bicycle At- tempts to Cross in Front of Trolley and Is Struck by Fender. nlbert Henderson, a colored boy about 16 years old, was run over and instantly killed by a southbound Cross-town car on the Twenty-fourth street hill, just south of Leavenworth, about 11:30 'yesterday morning. The boy was coasting down the hill on a bicycle, according to Motorman H. Wilson, and was thrown from his wheel in attempting to cros in front of the car, ' which was going in the same direction. The boy's wheel ran across the corner of the fender of the street car. , , ; Witnesses say that the boy rolled in front of the car a distance of ten feet before he rolled under the fender and the car passed over him. The body was found wedged in front of the rear wheels. ' Dr. J. W. Duncan said that death had been instantaneous. The body was taken to Gentleman's undertak ing establishment.

Three Thousand Workers- Strike in Shipyards Seattle, Wash., Sept. 29-Twelve thousand workers employed in Seat tle ship yards struck today to force demands for higher wages and Jthe use of eight-hour lumber. Three large steel ship yards and ninety-five small er plants were tlosed as a result of the strike. . Kerensky Facing The Supreme Test Of His Eegime (Continued froir Ff One.) today toward lining up their strength through party conferences. An instance of a split even in the closest party ranks was given the congress yesterday, when M. Tcher noff, the spokesman for the workmen and soldiers, referred to General Kal edines, the chief of the Cossacks, as that "miserable Kaledines." One of the Cossacks delegates shouted, "You dare not attack General Kaledines." Another Cossack leaped to his feet, shouting, "Go on, Kaledines is a traitor." Unusual vigilance was ob served by the military authorities of Petrograd' last night in connection with the congress. The guards at the winter palace were increased and they halted many passersby, as did the guards at other government build ings. 1 The section of Geneial Verk hovsky's speed concerning the ef forts of Germany to obtain i-eace at the expense of Russia provoked great applause. "Our gallant allies," the war min ister said, "have replied to the das tardly offer by unconditionally re jecting it, believing, as I believe, that the Kussian army still will bare its breast to free the fatherland." The general said he would handle the army without gloves and pointed out its defects, saying: Many Deserters. "The Twelfth army before Riga did not refuse to fight and die, but we need men to fight and win victories. The fleet does not refuse to fight, Lut at the same time it murders its offi cers. We hear many worthy words about the army and fleet, but we have a great many deserters. The glorious victories on the southwest front in July terminated in a disgraceful re treat. "In the rear we have reinforce ments, but the men at the front do not accept them because they bring dis cord and regiments with historic records cannot accept such men." General Verkhovsky repeated his announced program of changing the army commanders, educating the troops along free revolutionary lines based on mutual trust between offi cers and men and the disbanding of the useless hordes in the rear. The speech contained little comfort for pacifists in the audience. The war minister is a young man about the age of Kerensky. He spoke in a low, even voice and referred fre quently to notes, gradually working up to the climax, when he declared in a ringing voice: "The war must be continued until with certainty we have achieved the peace desired by all peace with freedom' Vote Coalition Cabinet. The Maximalists and the social democrats at yesterday's session of the democratic congress voted 81 to 77 in favor of a coalition cabinet to include representatives of the Bour geoise, but 86 to 51 against the in clusion of the constitutional demo crats. The revolutionary socialists voted in favor of a coalition exclud ' ing the constitutional democrats, 91 to 87. ,, Premier Kerenesky conferred with representatives of the Moscow indus trial group regarding their possible entry into the cabinet. They replied they would participate if the cabinet was wholly independent of any party or political association. L The government in replying to the demands of the Maximalists tor the inviolability of Nikolai Lchine at the congress said he would not be ar rested in the halt of the congress, but would be apprehended if found out side the hall. The Maximalists there fore decided not to bring Lenine from h is h win ft place. WATTLES ASKS . LIYE STOCK MEN TO HEIJPWIN WAR (Continued from Pace One.) increases into effect the totaj increase of commission charges would amount to several million dollars yearly. To Encourage Production. "The government ot the United States through the food administra tion is seeking in every way possible to encourage and increase production of live stock in this country to meet demands of the war and the dsmands of foreign countries after the war, where herds have been greatly de pleted. To increase the expenses inci dent to the marketing of live stock will retard the efforts of the govern ment to increase production and while it may be argued that these commis sions are paid by the producer, as a matter of fact in the end they retard production and the consumer must suffer. Food to Win War. "This great world war will probably be won by the side that can furnish food and munitions to its soldiers and citizens for the longest time .The sit uation today is acute; there is a world shortage of food products and of transportation facilities to deliver the products available to the seat of war. Submarines are destroying a consid erable amount of such products in course of transmission. Many coun tries with a rurplus of grain and meat can not transport them an account of war conditions The United States by virtue of location must furnish the necessary food for our soldiers and soldiers of our allies and for the starv ing people in the war-stricken dis tricts. We have no such normal sur plus as will be required. It can only j be obtained by the elimination of all i waste and by conserving in, every pos sible way the foods of this country and by encouraging greater pro ductions in the future. ; Half Meat Products Here. ' "Mr. Pinchot of the food administra tion has stated that the United States today owns approximately one-half of alt the meat products of the world. The price of these products is the highest it has been for many years and yet with the ever-present knowl edge that the war may suddenly come to an end, it is difficutt to induce producers to increase their herds. The daily receipts of all classes of grass cattle on this exchange show that the cattle men of' this country are inclined to reduce rather than in- crease. If the war should continue for two or three years longer, unless a material increase is effected, we will not be able to supply our soldiers and our allies with the ' meat they will need and so, in the interest of the great humane policy of "the govern ment, all men are called ' upon to make sacrifices To correct what he held to be a misapprehension among the commis sion men and traders, he said: "The policy of the food administra tion, both state and national,, is not to interfere with the legitimate busi ness of thos engaged in the busi ness of. handling food products, but to shut out entirely ruinous speculation in food and fuel during the war; It will mean that we may license all live stock stealers, coal dealers, pack ers and people handling meats and food products generally, in order to break down the speculation in food, fuel and the necessities of life, which has been going on for years. , "I am willing to stand by all my public utterances, but amnot willing to endorse all that may be inferred from them by others." .. .. Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success. tpainuiuiu TK TTTT ! : A Number of Super-Sixes at present prices limited. Practically all makers have already increased prices. W now see the last of the Hudson Super-Sii cars we will be able to sell at present prices. The factory has given us definite allotments. On at least two mod els they, have notified ua that final ship ments will be completed within two " - weeks. rr' " . .. When those cars are sold it means that the last Hudson Super-Six to be had at the present base price of $1,650 for the seven-passenger phaeton has gone. Then a new price will become effective. That price will be based upon material costs that are much higher than were those of the present production.: As a single example of the greater cost of an automobile today as compared to the cost of a year ago consider the item of iron. Its low price for the years of ,1915-1917 was $12.27- a ton. Today it ' sella at $52.90 a ton. Iron is used in . ' .'making the finest steels, the frame, the motor,, the body, etc -Its use in a fine, automobile constitutes a large item. .You can get .from this some idea of the tre mendous need for automobile price in creases. , - Then when you think of the number of cars that have gone up in price in the i last few months yon get a farther xmder- ? standing of the great opportunity you, have in buying a Hudson Super-Six now. More than fifty makers have advanced prices within the past two months. Cars which formerly sold at $1,200 and $1,300 now, cost about as much as a Super-Six. There was no question as to which was the preferred car then, though because of the lower price many such cars were sold. Now that there is no price advantage, Hudson sales are at their highest. People realise more than ever before that a Hud son offers the greatest value on the mar ket. They are taking advantage of the opportunity that the present market con dition offers. You, too, can save as they are saving if you act promptly. We know how many cars we are to get, but we do not know how much longer we can, accept orders at present prices. Be guided by the experience of the past as it affects the Super-Six. Buy now. It is like buying any other staple on which you have positive knowledge that there is soon to be a price increase. Surely there need be nothing said in this connection to persuade you to a Super-Six. It has already established its reputation on every speedway, in every endurance test, in the most difficult moun tain climbs, in the most arduous road trips, and most of all in the minds of more than forty thousand users.

BOARDS RECTIFY DRAFTJISTAKES Crowder Issues Order Permit ting Unjust Cases to Be Re considered; Aliens Becom ing Citizens Are Subject. Washington, Sept. 29. A method of relieving hardships in cases where men who should have been 'exempted have ben ordered to rport for mili tary service or have entered camps, has been prescribed by Provost Mar shal General Crowder. If a local or district board believes a man has been wronkly ordered to report for duty, it may reopen the case on its own initiative and revoke the former action. If the man has already entered the service he may be discharged only by order of the army adjutant general, who will act on recommendations of local or district boards. Another ruling provides that thous ands of aliens who registered for the draft June 5 and who since that date have declared their intentions of be-, coming citizens, are now subject to draft. Offer Still More Land To Omaha Balloon School Through the Commercial club an other tract of land has been assem bled and priced and offered to the Balloon school at Fort Omaha. This makes the fifth separate tract that this club has secured figures on and offered to officials of the signal corps in Washington. All are now under con sideration. There is every indication that the Balloon school will be de veloped to a point beyond the ex pectation of most of the men who have been following the progress of this arm of the service. DRAFT" OBSTRUCTOR GETS SEVEN YEARS Attorney Daniel O'Connell Will Go to McNeil's Federal Prison; Others Convicted Get Lesser Sentences. San Francisco, Sept. 29. Daniel O'Connell, a San Francisco attorney, was sentenced to seven years in the McNeil's island federal penitentiary in Washington in the United States dis trict court today for conspiring to obstruct the selective draft law. "The fact for which you stand con victed was very close to treason," de clared Judge W. C. VanFleet in sen tencing O'Connell. "Unquestionably Jhe things you have done were di rectly intended to stab your country in the back." . . Judge VanFleet said all men are en titled to the right of free speech n the exercise of such right does not obstruct the laws of the country. Others indicted and convicted with , ell. all of San Francisco, were sentenced as follows: . Dr. E.
