COMMERCE HIGH
WINS CLOSE GAME
FROM CREIGHTON
Bookkeepers Upset Dope by
Trouncing Blue and White
Eleven, Despite Weight
Handicap.
' Upsetting all doe, the High School
of Commerce grid team defeated the
Creighton High team, 9 to 0, Thurs
day on Creighton field. The scrappy
bookkeeper crew was outweighed 25
pounds to the man, but overcame this
disadvantage by constantly working
the forward pass.
Creighton's only asset was weight.
The Blue and ' White lacked both
sped and team work. Commerce High
by hard tackling prevented their
beefy opponents from getting away
and kicked whenever the Creighton
combination attempted to get within
scoring distance of the goal. Card
and Bernstein were the Commerce
stars, while Murphy did Creighton's
best playing.
Commerce won the toss and those
to kick. A pass from Card to Bern
stein, who ran 10 yards with the ball,
gave the first score after two minutes
of play. Each team then used the
open game with little success. Card
booted a field goal for three more
points. A punting due! resulted in
placing the ball on Commerce s one
yard line, from whence it was kicked
out of danger by Card at the first of
the second period. A 40-yard punt,
with a 10-yard place kick, placed the
ball under Commerce's goal to be
kicked out of danger when Creighton
lost the ball on downs. Both sides
resorted to the open game with little
: success, leaving the ball in the center
of the field at the end of the first
half.
Blue and White Slow.
, Creighton failed to come back with
the expected pep and merely suc
ceeded in holding the line by means
,&f plunges. Kelly and Murphy started
a rally in the last period which took
the ball to the shadow of Commerce's
goal posts, but which lacked the team
work to put it over. The game ended
with the score, the same as that at
the end of the first quarter, Com
merce, 9; Creighton, 0. The lineup: -

erates against the Maximalists and
also to rally to his support Cossacks
and such other troops who have not
already gone over to the Extremists.
The Russian news agency, which,
as reported last night, was seized by
the Maximalists, sends the following
dispatch rom Petrograd, dated 9:50
o'clock last evening:
' "Towards 5 o'clock in the afternoon
the military revolutionary committee
of the soU'ers' and workmen's dele
gates .ssued a proclamation stating
that Petrograd was in its hands,
thanks to the assistance 'of the gar
rison, which enabled the coup d'etat
to be b'ought about without blood
shed. To Propose Peace.
"The proclamation declares that the
new government will propose an im
mediate and just peace, will hand the
land to the peasants and will sum
mon the constituent assembly.
"Delegrtes from the three Cossack
regiments quartered here declared
they would not obey the provisional
government and would not march
against the soldiers' and workmen's
delegates, but that they were prepared
to maintain public order.
"The Petrograd council of soldiers'
and workmen's delegates held a meet
ing this afternoon at which M. Trot
iky made his declaration that the
government no longer existed; that
some of the ministers had been ar
rested and that the preliminary par
liament had been dissolved.
Three Problems Presented.
Nikolai Lenine, who received pro
longed cheers, outlined three orob-
lems now before the Russian democ
racy first, immediate conclusion of
the warr for which purpose the new
government must propose an armis-
tice to' the belligerents; second, the
handing over of the land to the
peasants; third. settlement .of the eco
jiomirj crisis. ,
v 'At the "close of the sitting a decla
ration was read from the representa-
tives of the democratic, Mimimalist
party of the soldiers' and workmen's
delegates, stating that the party dis
approved of the coup d'etat and with
drew from the council of soldiers' and
workmen's delegates."
" Split in Council Healed.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Petrograd says a strong detach
ment of troops of the soldiers and
workmen's delegates occupied the
Baltic railway station and that the
government commandeered all motor
cars, confining the troops to the bar
racks. A wireless dispatch from Petrograd
says that the council of soldiers' and
workmen's delegates has announced
that the split in the council has been
healed, and that a call has been sent
out for a delegate from each 25,000 of
the population to express the will of
the Russian army.
A proclamation sent out through
the wireless stations of the Russian
Kovernment today and picked up
here states that the garrison and pro
letariat of Petrograd have deposed
the Kerensky government.
Expected Some Time.
It has been indicated for some time
past that an attempt was to be made
by the Maximalists in Fetrograd to
scire control of the capital. Novem
ber 2 was the date originally set for
an extremist demonstration, wnicn
was expected by its promoters to re
sult in the taking over of power by
this element. A postponement to an
unannounced date was afterward de
cided upon.
The Maximalist, or Bolsheviki, ele
ment comprises the most extreme
class of the Russian revolutionary so
cialists. It first sprang into promi
nence in the early days of the revo
lution under the leadership of Nikolai
Lenine, the radical agitator, who
later was put under the ban of the
provisional government because of
li is ultra radical preachments and his
suspected pro-uerman leanings. He
is known to have been in Petrograd
for some time past, however, but a
?:overnment order for his arrest
ailed to result in his apprehension.
TroUky is Leader.
Meanwhile t!he Maximalists were
under the leadership of his chief lieu
tenant, Leon Trotzky, whose home
was in the United States "when the
revolution broke Out, but who sailed
for Russia shortly afterward. He
was one of the leaders in the 1905
revolution. '
The strength or the Maximalists
has lain in the support which they ob
tained from the military, chiefly in
the Petrograd garrison, among which
they have been able to work with lit
tle interference from their govern
ment. They had failed, however, to
impress their policies upon Russia as
a whole, as has been shown by the
manner in which they were outvoted
in the all-Russian congress, and the
minority part played in the organiza
tion of the preliminary Parliament, in
which they refused to participate
after they were shown to be outnum
bered. N. Y. Stock Prices Tumble.
New York, Nov. 8. Demoraliza
tion swept the stock market today
when the news of the overthrow of
the Kerensky government in Russia
reached Wall street and other finan
cial centers throughout the country.
Almost every stock of importance
tumbled and reached prices the low
est for the year and fo much longer
periods.
Russian bonds dropped on the curb
to the lowest point ever recorded;
Russian exchange was at a new dis
count; Italian exchange was the
weakest since the war, and even Lib
erty 3yi were not exempt from the
onslaught on prices, declining to the
new minimum, 99.40.
The news from Petrograd telling of
the overthrow of the Russian pro
visional government precipitated a
fresh slump in the market after an
early period of comparative strength.
Losses of 2 to a points were reg
istered before noon by leading rails,
shippings, coppers and the war group
as a whole. Utilities also showed
marked weakness. Local tractions
fell 3 to 5 points, all to lowest quo
tations, ana American Telephone
and Western Union yielded 5 and 2
points, respectively, . to new mini
mums of recent years.
Italian exchange displayed great
weakness, remittances to Rome fall
ing to the new discount of 8.15 for
cables.
' On the curb market Russian gov
ernment 5tf per cent bonds dropped
to 49. a new low record. They closed
yesterday at 56.
HUSKERS MINUS
FIVE REGULARS
With Missouri Tigers Coming
Saturday, Nebraska Foot
Ball Fans Expect
Hard Battle.
Lincoln, Nov. 8. (Special.) Ne
braska enters the Missouri game
minifs the services of five of the regu
lars, it was definitely established to
day. Captain Ed Shaw, Riddell, Dob
son, Otoupalik and Kositzky are the
regulars who will not be in the battle
against the Tigers.
The loss of Shaw and Kositzky will
be a serious blow to the Cornhusker
defense, where these two men are
important parts of Nebraska's stone
wall. Otoupalik and Dobson out of
the backfield is another complication
which will greatly weaken' the Husk
ers. The news from the front was les
encouraging today. Krinclineycr, a
substitute linesman, who lias been
used in practically every big game, is
under scholastic ban. The husky
linesman failed in a course in mathe
matics last year, but took summer
school work. He passed successfully
in his summer school work, but Miss
Florence McGahey, the university
registrar, is objecting to the substi
tute. It is claimed that the substitute
did not carry as many hours as the
course which Krinelmeyer flunked in.
The registrar's attitude means that
Stewart will lose another linesman.
at least for the Missouri game.
Rhoades Has Accident.
Rhoades took a tumble out of an
automobile yesterday and could not
report for practice last night. There
is nothing serious in the injury to
Rhoades, however, and he should be
in good shape for the Missouri game.
In spite of the exceptional number
of cripples, the Huskers went through
a spirited scrimmage last night and
on the offensive especially the team
showed up in good shape against the
freshmen, who had been drilled in
Missouri formations. The scrimmage
this evening rounded out preparation
for the Tiger game with the exception
of a stilf signal practice tomorrow.
The Missourians are due to arrive in
Lincoln Friday morning and will be
quartered at the Lincoln. The Tiger
squad will have the use of Nebraska
field for workout.
Expect Hard Fight.
Not niuvh credence is placed in the
dope coming from Columbia that the
Tigers .are planning on sending in a
second team against Huskers, pre
sumably on the theory the game is al
ready lost and the southerners want
to save up for Kansas. Three of the
men in the Tigar lineup have been
out of the game all season because
of minor injuries, but will be started
Saturday;
"I am expecting a hard game Sat
urday," Dr. Stewart said today. "My
information is that Nebraska has no
reason to hold the Missourians light
ly and it will be up to the Huskers
to play the best foot ball they can in
order to remain in the running for
ie Missouri val!ev conference crown.
The squad is badly Crippled and far
from being in shape for a hard strug
gle, but with a reasonable break in
the luck, they should put up a game
struggle." ,
All of the arrangements for home
coming day, which has been set for
the Missouri game, will be under the
direction of the fraternities and soror
ities. Dances, house parties and ban
quets by practically all of the 30 or
ganizations in the university will pro
vide a brilliant ound of entertain
ment for the old grads who return.
The university players will give "The
Piper" Friday night for the benefit
of the French orphan fund and the
annual Olympics will be staged Sat
urday' morning by the freshmen and
sophomore classes.
T. A. Williams, who is in charge of
student activities at the state univer
sity, said advance indications pointed
to the return of fully 1,500 alumni for
the Missouri game and homecoming
festivities.
No Hope for Crew of
Torpedoed U. S. Alcedo
Washington. Nov. 8. All hope
for the safety of Lieutenant John
T. Melvin and the 20 enlisted men,
reported missing after the torpedo
ing of the American patrol ship
Alcedo, has been abandoned. Vice
Admiral Sims cabled the navy de
partment today that the search for
survivors of the Alcedo had been
given up and that it was believed
most of the missing men had been
killed outright by the explosion of
the torpedo.

allies, including the United States,
face to face with action to re-arrange
their fighting power to deal the heav
iest possible blows on the battlefronts,
while' Russia works out her part and
destiny in the great struggle for
world freedom and Italy holds back
the invader pouring through the Alps.
Shifts Burden to America.
The immediate effect upon the part
which the United States must take as
the shifting of world events turns
the burdens of war more and more
to the American people cannot be
assessed accurately at this time. The
treasury already has authorized
credits of $325,000,000' to Russia and
of that sum probably half already has
been drawn upon for supplies bought
in this country. There hWs been some
disappointment among American of
ficials that some of the money was
used for needs of the civilian popula
tion and not devoted wholly to war
purposes, but in Russia's critical posi
tion consideration of the economic
crisis there has permitted the expen
ditures to go on praqtically un
limited. American aid has not bee limited
merely to money and the confidence
of the government in Kerensky and
his adherents has freely and fre
quently been expressed. 'The visit of
the American, mission headed by
Elihu Root is fresh in the public
memory; every member, and Mr.
Root in particular, returned optimis
tic and confident of Russia's future.
American Railway Men There.
An American commission of emi
nent railroad men now is there bring
ing order out of chaos on Russia's
transportation systems, and already
has increased efficiency in some di
rections at least 60 per cent. Mean
while millions of dollars' worth of
supplies have been piling up at Vladi
vostok and the Americans have been
applying the best of methods to move
them across Siberia.
Japan, at the same time, has been
supplying aid to Russia in practically
every way, principally in war muni
tions, for which the Russian govern
ment has been able to pay practically
nothing at all as yet.
Japan May Aid Kerensky.
A factor in the situation which has
been reluctantly discussed heretofore
now comes to the front. It is the
possibility that Japan might send
troops into Russia to support the pro
visional government, help restore or
der and drive the revoking factions
up onto the firing line. None here
who would be authorized to speak on
the subject cares Jo do so,although it
has been discussed by-Japanese else
where, and the consensus pi their
opinions as published has been that
Japan would find some difficulties in
supplying an army sent into Russia.'
Moreover, the argument has been ad
vanced that Japan's forces were
needed to preserve order in the far
east. . .
"Some idea of what Russia faces on
her fighting lines may be gained from
the latest report to the Russian em
bassy here. It was on November 2
and showed that the Russian troops
were engaging 147 divisions of enemy
troops, including Germans, Austrians,
Bulgarians and Turks, probably in all
some 2,000,000 men. The possibility
of those troops, or any part of them,
being released for a drive against the
western front, to join the invadets in
Italy, or even for Balkan service,
where many military experts believe
Germany is planning an attack on
Greece, is one of the questions which
the- inter-allied war council will have
to consider. J . ,

"Former Minister Konovaleff,

Nikitin and others have been arrested
by the revolutionary committee.
"M. Kerensky has 4aken flight and
all military bodies have been empow
ered to take all possible measures to
arrest Kerensky and bring him back
to Petrograd. All complicity with
Kerensky will be dealt with as high
treason."
Welcome to Lenine..
Nikolai Lenine was introduced by
Trotzky as an "old, old comrade,
whom v.e welcome back." I
Lenine said:
"Now we have a revolution, The
peasants and workmen control the
government. This is only a prelimi
nary step toward a similar revolution
everywhere."
What Government Knows.
. London, Nov. 8. Chancellor 'An
drew Bonar Law informed the House
of Commons this afternoon that the
government had no news of the latest
developments in Russia. The Russian
embassy also was without advices.
The only news of the deposition of
the Kerensky government thus far
has been received from the Russian
wireless nd the semi-official Petro
"rdA News Aptncy, both of whieh are
controlled by the Maximalists.
It is considered possible that the
Kerensky faction may not have been
turned out of power as completely as
the Maximalists represent and that
the conservatives may be able to re
assert themselves without a general
civil war.
MISSION TO WAR
COUNCIL BEGINS
WORKIN LONDON
(Continued from Pare One.)
Mr. Page and Mr. Balfour were on
the scene early and while waiting
walked up and down the platform for
ten minutes, chatting about the war.
Colonel E. M. House and Admiral
Benson, the first to alight, were
greetedneartily by Mr. Balfour, who
met them on his recent visit to Amer
ica. '
Colonel House, appearing to be in
good health, introduced Mr. Balfour
and Mr. Page to Mrs. House and
walked to the waiting automobile and
was taken to the home of the Duke
of Roxburghe. After Admiral Ben
son and General Bliss had shaken
hajids with Vice Admiral Sims they
were driveiywith the other members
of the mission to a west end hotel.
Voyage Uneventful.
The voyage was uneventful, al
though several davs of rough weather
put the .seamanship of the Americans
to a severe test. Notwithstanding
this, daily conferences took tlace.
The commissioners examined the
mass of statistics bearing on their re
spective departments and familiarized
themselves with the important work
before them on this side of .the At
lantic. "Wehad a pleasant and uneventful
voyage," Colonel House told the As
sociated Press. "The weather was
fair. There were no submarines. It
was the best vacatjon I have had in
two years."
Colonel House, as head of the com
mission, has the honorary rank of
special ambassador.
The commissioners were met by.
Ambassador Page, Vice Admiral
Sims, commander of the American de
stroyer squadron, and Foreign Secre
tary Balfour. There are 27 persons in
the pa-ty, including Admiral Benson,
General Bliss, Vance McCormick,
chairman of the war trade board; Os
car T. Crosby, assistant secretary of
the. treasury; Bainbridge Colby of the
United States shipping board, Dr. A.
E. Taylor, representing the food con
troller, and Paul Cravath. Mrs. House
and the wives of several other com
missioiiersare in the party. (Colonel
and Mrs. House were driven to the
tesidence of the duke of Roxburghe,
where they will stay while in London.
Party Sleeps Late.
fhe members of the mission arose
late this morning, much refreshed
after their first comfortable night's
sleep in many days. The first thing
they did was to go into conference,
v.'ith Colonel House presiding. The
meeting lasted an hour. Colonel
House outlined a tentative program
for the next few days, calling for a
series of conferences with British of
ficials. Each of the commissionwill
.liscuss his particular work with Brit
Jsh officials in charge of sniilar activi
tes in England.
Admiral Benson had an early call
to make on Admiral Jellicoe, first sea
lord and General Bliss expected to
visit the war office during the day
"I am impatient to see with my own
eyes the great efforts England is mak
ing towa-d solving the shipping prob
lem," said Mr. Colby, "and with this
end :n view will pay an early visit to
the ship yards. America is now fully
awake to the importance of .tonnage
in this war and is carrying out a pio
ram of unparalleled magnitude. Ship
building now takes priority over all
other work in our country.'

Court Gives Reprimand to
Lawyers in Havner Case
Logan, la., Nov. 8. (Special Tele
gram.) Cross-examination of three
witnesses, including H. N. Havner,
marked the first day of direct testi
mony in the Havner case.
Testimony centered around. Alice
Willard, lawyers for the defense
aiousing the court to such a degree
as to receive a reprimand over their
vigorous remarks.
Fred F. Faville and Oscar Rock
were prevailed upon to tel! of their
attempts to have Alic Willard tell
the grand jury when it was in session
all she knew of the ax murder. They
slrcr.i'ously denied they attracted to
give her liquor when she iaintei at
that hearing.
The session today, presided over by
Turtle Cullison, was, somewhat brief.
Chicago, Nov. 8. (Special Tele
gramsRobert J. Frank, a Chicago
attorney and holder of 40 shares in the
Burlington railroad, has begun a fight
"to regain control of the road," now
under domination of the two Hill
roads, the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific. The minority stockhold
ers hold only 2 per cent of the Bur
lington stock, the rest being owned
by the Hill roads.
Formal objection was. made to all
acts of the. board of directors in the
last year on the ground that they
were not legal becausedirectors held
their offices in direct violation of the
roads' by-laws and charter.
This follows a request by Attorney
General Brundage and Mr. Frank for
proceedings against the Burlington
to declare illegal its combination with
the Hill roads, to set aside the sale
of stock, made more than a decade
ago, by which the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific bought 98 per cent
of the "Q" stock, and to restrain the
present officers from operating the
property and to return the railroad to
the management which ruled before
the Hill, purchase of stock.
Burlington stockholders re-elected
all retiring directors and named O. M.
Spencer general counsel for the com
pany to succeed the late Chester M.
Dames on the board. Directors later
re-elected all officers for the ensuing
year. The next annual meeting will
