SENTIMENT OUTSIDE I'ETROGRAI)
REFLECTS DISGUST TOWARDS
KERENSKY AND BOLSHEVIK I.
' By Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 17. Nowhere throughout
a journey from the Caucasus to Petrograd
did a correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph hear a word of sympathy for Pre-
mier Kerensky. The educated passengers he
met, he says in a dispatch sent from
Petrograd on Monday, were infuriated at
Kerensky's laxity in permitting the Bol-
shevik! agitation, and soldiers were in-
dignant that tin- Premier was unable to
maintain authority and order. Hallway
men, the correspondent adds,* said that
Kerensky, Leniue and Trotsky, the Bolshe-
vik! leaders, all ought to be thrown into
the Neva.
LONG FOR REAL LEADER.
For the provisional government nowhere
was there a spark of enthusiasm, he
added, as it was felt to have deserved its
fate. Everywhere, however, the correspon-
dent found a longing for real order and
real authority and for somebody who 1
would save Russia from trouble.
Throughout the ten Kuban territories |
order was undisturbed and on arriving at i
Roslov-on-the-Don on November 0, the cor- j
respondent found the garrison and work-
ers in a ferment. They had passed a |
resolution in favor of the Bolsheviki but I
in the neighboring town of Novo Teherk- I
esk, the capital of the Don territory, the I
Cossack government under General Kale- •
dine had declared for the provisional |
government, assumed full power in its
own territories and had established eon-
tact with Oossoek governments in the
neighboring territories.
A few days before the Don Coasaeks
rose, backed by the Cossacks in the pro-
vinces of Kuban and Astrakhan, the Kal-
rauks of the Steppes and the mountain j
tribes of Daughestan and the Black Sea
coast had formed a league of autonomous
unit with a common federal government
over the whole territory north of the Cau-
casus, between the Caspian and Black Seas.
The existence of this league, the corre-
spondent says, guarantees complete order
in that territory, which includes the rich-
est granary in Russia.
General KaIodine's government on No-
vember 8 declared martial law in the dis-
, turbed mining area in the Donetz basin
and it was declared that the miners had
resumed work.
The Cossack Congress which happened
to be sitting at Kiev, took command of
the situation there and immediately ar-
rested the Ukrainian Council and sup-
pressed the Bolsheviki.
From "Rostov onward, the correspondent
Continues, there was a complete absence
of definite news. Many contradictory re-
ports were current as the train approached
Moscow. The train was stopped on the
outskirts of th^. city.
"We heard the sound of guns," the Tele-
graph's correspondent says, "and were told
by officers that the training school was
being bombarded. Women told terrible
stories of fighting and bloodshed through-
out Saturday and Sunday. They declared
that entire broad lines were mown down
by machine guns.
Arriving in l'etrograd the correspondent
found the residents guarding the doors
and gateways to their dwellings, lie con-
cludes :
"I then plunged into a flood of rumors,
' partly wrangling and furious recrimina-
tion. Outside l'etrograd it is more easy
to believe in Russia. The atmosphere of
catastrophe Is stifling."

San Antonio's first real rain in several
months fell la-t night, beginning shortly
before 10 o'clock, the precipitation at 11
o'clock being so heavv that streets were
flooded. In some places the water is re-
ported to have stood three feet on the
streets.
Except for .300 of an inch of rain on
October 21*, last night's rain was the first
since October IS. when there was a fall
of approximately half an inch. The last
rain preceding that was a fall of .05 of au
inch on September 20. on the day preced-
ing that there also was a Blight rainfall.
Last night's rain was not merely a local
shower. Reports received by telegraph
says that rain had fallen from the Pan-
handle to Eagle Pass. While it is said to
be too late to save grass in the Panhandle
it will be highly beneficial to live stock
in filling tanks and water holes.
The night's rainfall will help appreciably
to redu<-e the accumulated deficiency in the
rainfall for the year. Up to the beginning
of November the total accumulated defic-
iency from January 1 was over fourteen
inches.

PETROGRAI), Wednesday. Nov. 14.—
The battle in which Premier Kerensky
was defeated began last Saturday and
continued until Monday night, according
to the commander in chief of the Bol-
sheviki staff. The Premier had 5,000 Cos-
sacks and several hundred military cadets
with considerable artillery. The Maxi-
malist force included four guard regi-
ments, scleral battalions of sailors and
numerous detachments of the Red Guard.
Many of the Bolsheviki soldiers were
wounded and a few were killed. The Cos-
sacks in Kerejpsky's force once attempted
a charge near Tsarskoe-Selo but suffered
heavy losses, after which they retiree! into
the town. The Maximalists now bold
Tsa r.skoe-Selo.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press visited the scene of the fighting
today ami was surprised to find aristo
cratie officers commanding the Bolsheviki.
One <if them, who was a colonel, explain-
ed that tl cv were disappointed with K»-
lci sky. wl-u first destroyed discipline in
the army, and were against him above
rll.
A colonel of one of the famous Petro-
grad guard regiments is now commander
of the Bolsheviki staff and directs the
operations of his army from a house on a
hilltop two miles beyond I'ulkova.
There was an extraordinary contrast
among the occupants of the bare, lamp-
lighted room, which apparently had been
once the parlor of a farm house. Seated
about a pine table were some officers,
who. though unshaven and battle worn,
showed plain evidences of their aristo-
cratic training. With them were a few-
common soldiers, plain sailors from the
Baltic fleet and one workman wearing the
badge of the Red Guard. These shared
their common fare with the correspondent
and explained that they were all fightlig
together against Kerensky.
The Bolsheviki troops display an anom-
rlons attitude in obeying the officers
without qnestion. but at the fame time
calling them "tavarish" (comrade* and in-
sisting on equsl rights elsewhere than
on the battlefield.
That there is efficiency in the direction
of the Maximalist army could be noted
by the long motor trains of stores, am-
bulances an dartlllerv which were going
toward Pulkova tonight as the correspond
cnt's droshfey returned to Petrograd.

By Associated Press.
PETROGRAD, Friday, Nov. Id.—Desert-
ed by most of his officers and virtually
ordered to surrender to the Bolsheviki,
Premier Kerensav evaded the guards sent
for him and has disappeared. General
Dukhonln has resumed temporarily the
post of commander in chief of the Ke-
rensky forces, recently defeated at Tsar-
skoe-Selo.
General Krasnoff, former commander
under Kerensky and who was arrested
with other members of the Premier's staff,
has been released on the ground that he
was obeying only the orders of his su-
perior. General Ivrasuoff's report con-
cerning the disappearance of Kerensky
confirms that he fled under disguise.
Premier Kerensky when told that his
officers were against him and that his
men were on the point of deserting agreed
to come to l'etrograd, but while a guard
was being arranged he dropped out of
sight. M. Bibenko, member of the com-
mittee on war and marine, has reported
to the Workmen's and Soldiers' Congress
that Kerensky fled garbed as a sailor.
Before Kerensky's flight Bibenko said he
talked with the Cossacks and found they
were willing to come to an agreement
with the Maximalists, only the officers
being opposed He said that he had
promised the Cossacks that they would
be released and possibly be allowed to
retain their mounts and arms and return
to the Don region.
Bibenko denied that Michael Romanoff,
the former Graud Duke Michael Alexan-
drovitch, was with Kerensky.
He denied also that General Kornilofr
had escaped from prison.
DAMAGE AT MOSCOW SMALL.
The damage done at the Kremlin in
Moscow Is minimised in messages received
here from the Maximalist delegates in
the old Russian capital, who sav that
only the Alexander Palace has suffered.
1 hey confirm the burning of several
houses in Moscow. From other sources It
is reported the Bolsheviki have planted
heavy artillery on Sparrow Hill and on
the famous Khodin field, from which they
are shelling the Kremlin. Other reports
indicate a truce has been arranged be-
tween the Bolsheviki troops and the gov-
ernment troops.
A third armed force is said to have
developed in .Moscow tue luenuty oi
which is not known. It is said to be
fighting against both the BolsheviKi and
the government troops and is supposed to
be composed of the criminal elements re-
leased from jail.
The Khodin field is the scene of the
massacre at the time of the coronation of
Emperor Nicholas.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—With the arrest
of two men, one of them a German named
Mueller, employed as scene painter at the
Auditorium Theater, Federal authorities
thought they were on the trail of the per-
sons who conspired to create a panic dur-
ing the operatic performance there last
night by the explosion of a bomb. The
analysis of the bomb, which revealed a
number of buckshot together with a con-
siderable quantity of powder, gave contra-
diction today to those who were inclined
to scoff at the seriousness of the plot The
fact that the bomb contained explosives
enougu if ignited to throw the whole audi-
ence Into a panic convinced officials botn
of the Government and of the city that its
presence in the Auditorium was conceived
by desi>erate i>ersons.
The Federal authorities refused to let It
be known what had led to the arrest of
the two men or what they had learned
through cross-questioning them. Mueller
and the other suspect were held In custody
in secret. They will be questioned further.

joker or a crank." said Chief of Police

HRITrPH FRONT IN BELGIUM, Friday.
Nov. 17.—Five members of the party of
American Congressmen and private citi-
zens who spent yesterday and part of to-
day visiting the Belgian war zone, had
a nai row escape from death or injury this
morning when they were t aught in a sud-
den burst of German machine gun fire
while inspecting the front line trenches
near Dixmude.
The Americans in danger were Congress-
man C. C. Dill of Spokane, Wash.; Con-
gressman Charles B. Tiuiberlake of Col-
jorado; Congressman John F. Miller of
I Seattle; Congressman Albert Johnson of
j Washington, and Former Representative
Stout of Montana. Nobody was hit but
it was one of those peculiar freaks of
fortune which soldiers call luck, because
the shots came in a shower so close to
them it seemed almost certain some one
must be wounded, although they were ex-
posed only for a brief time.
The other seven members of the party
were In another section of the trench
and were not disturbed by the fire. Later,
however, when all the Americans were
together, the Germans dropped a big shell
some ten yards away, seriously endanger-
ing every one. One member in describing
the incident to the correspondent later
said he and his companions heard the
shell coming. "It sounded like the roar
of an airplane," he said.
Again fortune favored them and no one
was injured.
The visitors spent the night near the
front and rose early this morning for
a trip to the trenches near Dixmude. The
Belgian and German lines run within
thirty yards of each other at one point
and it was there that the five men came
into danger. At that, distance it is easy
to see any one in the opposite trench
I who raises his head above the top. Only
i the usual firing was under way when
j the party, accompanied by Belgian officers,
reached this place.
The Americans ^ire having an excellent
view of the lines when several of them
got Into an exposed positiou and were
seen by the Germans. Suddenly the en-
emy machine guns nearby began a vicious
spatter and bullets came whizzing across
the narrow strip of No Man's Land at the
rate of several hundred a minute. Be-
! fore the visitors realized the situation
bullets were whining all about them like
a storm of hail and dirt was being thrown
into their faces as some of the steel pel#
lets struck the top of the trench. They
all bent down for cover but all might
easily have been caught, since it does
not take more than a small fraction of
a minute for a machine gun to account
for a number of men if the shooting Is
accurate.

thvi army officials, some regulations that
were deemed advisable being made.
The system of placing a soldier out*

ported where the higher court reversed a
decision rendered by him.
While Judge of the Southern District of
Texas Judge Burns had thousands of
Mexicans fa<e him on charges of smug-
gling. and of these lie made friends, for
in giving them sentences that lie consid-
ered deserving, he also addressed them
In a heart to-heart manner that caused
the regeneration of many such men .
Officers of the Federal Court and their
subordinates held Judge Burns In the high-
est esteem, for. never overbearing in his
mien, he always greeted them In a cor-
dial. unautocratic manner and his greet-
ings were always received with that feel-
ing of friendliness In whlrh it was given.
As a jurist and lawyer Judae Burns wa*
loosed upon by his profession as one of
the most able men in the South, and his
death at this time leaves a vacancy on the
Federal bench that will be keenly felt.
Succumbing to Illness at a time when
he was presiding over a regular term of
court, that tribunal Is adjourned until
bis successor shall have been named, or
another Federal Judge Is sent here from
another district to complete the unfin-
ished work.
The body of Judge Burns will reach
Houston tomorrow morning and will |.e
immediately transferred to a special trsia
on the M. K. £ T. and taken to La Grange,
where the funeral will be held on Monday.
The same special Jrain which brought
Mrs. Purns and party from Houston early
today, left at noon with the body of Judge
Bums and carried the bereaved family.

SOLDIKR8 WASTE BILLETS
Ban Placed on Throwing C artridges From
Trains.
Conservation of ammunition is the sub-
ject of a communication from the Adju-
tant General of the army to Ma] <UeB.
Henry T. Allen, commanding the 00th l»l
vision. Camp Travis. The letter states
that the waste should be stopped.
Soldiers write notes with their names
and organizations on them, says the let-
ter, and weigh them down with cartridges.
When the train passes through a station,
while the men are en route to the port
of embarkation, thev toss these weighted
billet-doux from the trains, hoping that
they will fall into the hands of some mem-
ber of the fair sex.
Attention is also called to the prevail-
ing custom of civilians who would collect
souvenirs. These are generally cartridge?,
says the letter. This custom also must
be stopped. The order has l>een sent out
through the division by General Allen.

reason was discovered.
Some time during the night a small bay
horse with a roa< hed mane and bearing
the number "137" with the troop letter
••I" on bfs front foot, wandered into tbe
stables and made himself at home. There
was no equipment on the borse. but froro
his general appearance he bad been rid-
den hard. _ . 
That he was a military horse was shown
by the identifying figures and a tatter
ot his boor, but no organization nas
made complaint of losing a mount. The
tioop or battery to which J he animal b*-
longs can nave mm. and giaoiy, too,
say the offb-ers of Battfry C, because be
has a wonderful appetite, for a littl*
horse.
