MICHAELIS ISSUE
In Spite of Wilhelm's Determl
, nation to Retain Chancellor,
Majority Leaders Declare
He Must Go.
(Br AmocUM rrwM.)
Amsterdam, Oct 26. The majority
leaden in the Reichstag today made
a formal .declaration to Rudolph von
Valentini, chief of the emperor's civil
cabinet, to the effect that Chancellor
Michaelis no longer could carry on
- the chancellorship. The leaders as
serted that the chancellor himself
asked them so to inform the em
peror. Helpless in Face of Wilhelm.
Copenhagen, Oct 26. The leaders
of teh majority parties in the Reich
stag are continuing their deliberations,
according to Berlin advices and are
reasserting unanimity of belief that
Chancellor Michaelis must go. but are
feeling decidedly helpless in the face
of the rebuffs administered by Em
peror William.
The only party which' apparently
has no doubt what should be done is
the socialist which has announced
flat-footed that its policy is war, if
the cnanceuor remains, loose wno
are advising the emperor to diregard
the wishes of the Reichstag and re
tain the chancellor for the time being
are perhaps counting on this, believ
ing that with the socialists voting to
refuse war credits it may be possible
to break up the present majority and
form another, embracing the non
socialist parties, with the watchword,
"the first duty is defense of the father
land." establishing working relations
between the. chancellor and such a
coalition. ', '

Butter Prices Slashed Six Cents
a Pound; Eggs Come Down,
Due to Government
y Regulation.
(Br AmioeUted PfM.)
Chicago, Oct 26. The . consumer
began to realize the benefits of gov
ernment supervision of food .sales to
day when butter prices were slashed
from 3 to 6 cents by the local food
price committee. This was done in
the face of predictions of retail
grocers that best grades of butter
would be selling at 55 and 58 cents
next week.
The food committee after a confer
ence with a committee from the Chi
cago butter and eggs board, decided
that from 44 to 49J4 cents a' pound is
a tair price tor creamery extras in
bulk and that 45 to 50 c was the
right figure for butter in cartons.
Retailers have been asking from 50
to 55 cents a pound.
On egg costs, the board s commit
tee, composed of dealers, agreed that
6 cents a dozen on loose eggs and
7'i cents on eggs in cartons would
be a fair profit to the retailer.
The price committee also cut the
cornmeal price fromc to 'Ac a
pound. A further cut was promised
and a more liberal use of the com
modity was urged in order to con
serve white flour.

Some New Yorkers Tried to
Push Price Below Par, Ac
cording to Speaker of
House.
Browning, Kinj
& Company
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 26. Champ
Clark, speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, today withdrew his
charge that a "ring of New York
men" had been hampering the sale
of the bonds of the second Liberty
loan in order to force a higher rate
of interest on the next issue of bonds.
"When I made that statement,"
said the speaker, "the papers were full
of stories telling of the fact that the
sale of Liberty bonds was lagging all
over the country.
"When the first Liberty bonds were
issued some fellows in New York
tried to beat the price down below
par. In view of that fact I said a
' ring of New York men" were hamp
ering the sale of the second Liberty
loan bonds.
"However, in view of what New
York has done in the sale of the
bonds in the last three days, I with
draw my criticism."

Under Their Automobile.

A. Schick, 4210 Harney street, Omaha
were killed last night when their car

an embankment on the Carter Lake
boulevard, east of the old Rome Mil
ler home in the north part of the city.
When found, the bodies of both
men were pinned under the machine,

west, intending to come over the Flor
ence boulevard. I making the turn,
the tracks in the road indicated that
the car had skidded, turned turtle and
