Nov. HO. The allies are pinning their faith on the Russians to extricate Rumania from the German war pincers. Dispatches today indicated that the czar's forces were pounding vigorously at German positions in the southern Carpathians, inaugurating an offensive which experts here were confident would force Fjeld Marshal Von Mackensen to cease some of his pressure on the Rumanian forces now approaching the line from which they will defend the capital. 1 - The Russian thrust at Kirlibaba was regarded here as the best possible strategic move since, if successfully maintained, it would force a straightening out of the German lines, permitting the Rumanians to gain back a goodly portion of Transylvania. If the German line was not straightened out under these conditions, it would be in danger of a strong flanking movement. Strengthens Position. Berlin, via .Snyville wireless, Nov. "0.

E Nearly $900,000 More On Hand'Than A Year Ago of Salem Money Judging from tlio bank statements issued a few days ago, some folks in Salem or vicinitv must have abundant renson for giving thanks today. The four banks in Salem have on deposit exactly $8S0,2.14.(32 more than they had one year ago. And there is a suspicion that the farmer U the men who is piling up this extra amount of not far from a million dollars compared to that they had one year ago. With everything the fanner had this year yielding big crops and high prices for all his products, the farmer just could not dodge prosperity. In the four Salem bunks, the to'.al deposits are $5,354,735.21. One year ago they were $4,474,480.59. With almost five and a half millions deposits in the city' banks, it is pretty evident that some folks are not suffering to any great extent from hard times. And every man may work this winter and there is plenty to do. Two years ago, the Salem Social Service Center and Commercial club were doing their best to find work for the many unemployed and George F. Rodgers bad establish ed the home on Ferry street for the great army of unemployed.

Wilson and company, big meat and produce agents, furnish-. cd $23,000 worth of turkeys for Uncle Sam 's soldiers on the bor- der, it beenme known here to- day. The company, which has its headquarters in Chicago, dis- tributed the birds through its El Paso branch. The govern- meat paid an average of 23 cents a pound. New York, Nov. 30. New York pro ceeded to the important business of theTTuv todav, tnanKs to the stubborn ness of the citv's housewives. If the women hadn't been- stubborn, New York wouldn't have eaten turkey really couldn't huve afforded it. As it was, the women held out until last night, iuaiy thousands of them, and got tlio boycotted bird at 33 to 35 cents instead of the 40 or 4.1 cenlf a pound dealers were demanding before the fiht began. Many women, not admitting the war was over, kept up their price resistance even until touay, aim in consequence got the national bird at prices well un der those of last night. The 'egg boycott goes merrily om The restaurants are beginning to see how it works, and some of them are gently suggesting to egg hungry cus tomers "wouldn't you rather order something elsfT Across the wont "eggs" in the cafes menu has been stamped tho word "boycotted."

Leave Grounds After To ; day's Games COLGATE BEATS BROWN IN MOST IMPORTANT GAME U. of C. and U. of W. Game of Coast With U. of W. Favorite Andrews Field, Providence, ft. I., Nov. 30. Colgate overwhelmed tho much heralded Brown eleven here 28 to 0. The Brunonains were powerless against the shifty, driving Maroon at tack, which swept down tho field, de spite ankle deen mud and a steady downpour of rain. At every department of the fame the brilliant Hamilton elev en outclassed Brown. The Maroon at tack slid off tackle for successive first downs, the Brown linesman being easi ly boxed. Pollard, the dusky Brown star, fail ed to shine and was smothered every time ho took tho ball. Tho, first Colgate touchdown came within five minutes after the whistle blew starting the game and from then on Colgute persistently threatened the llrowu goul. Anderson, Spencer, West and Hub bell, who punted for Colgate, starred for the winners, while .Millbouso's punting was the one redeeming feature of the Bruuonians' playing. Oames Hit the Skids. By H. C. Hamilton. (United Press staff correspondent.) New York, Nov. 30, Jerked from his pedestal three days ' before he usually buys tickets for the skids, King Football will pass out for 1910 early this after noon. Officiating at the demise will be several prominent huskies, among them Brown and Colgate universities, two eastern unstarts; Pittsburg and Pennsylvania State and Rutgers and Washington and Jefferson. Ordinarily, football survives until the Saturday following Thanksgiving day, but this year the Army and Navy, de parting from time honored custom, de cided to get to the people before the suffering public was weighted down with Thanksgiving dinners and such, and closed up shop last Saturday. Ho the east will have with us today tho aforementioned Brown versus Col gate affuir at Providence. The most prominent entertainment of the duy. A warm rain was falling throughout the east and sloppy fields were prom ised. Colgate has visions of championship claims as she enters the contest. Since Brown took the measure of both Yule and Harvard and since Yale beat Col gate, there is little chnnce'for the New Yorkers to receive much of a rating un less they do hammer a victory out of Pollard et al. Colgate figures that if it is uble to put a knot in the Brownonion standard it will be able to Iny claim to the championship. At that, Pittsburg has something to say, and unless Peon State manages to take a full out of Glenn Warner's gang at Pittsburg today the Colgute cluiin would be rather empty. Colgate backers are going the limit behind the New York State team. They declare there isn't a stronger eleven in the east and that with even n sem blance of luck Yale would have been on the short eud iu the recent meeting. While these arguments are going on over championship possibiltes, Cornell and Pennsylvania will be at grips in Philadelphia, sitting in at the death of the uutumu sport. Dobie Cheers Up. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 30. A rare bit of Thanksgiving carving will be put over here today when the football teams of the Universities of California and Washington meet on University field in the football classic of the coust. Both coaches are predicting victory It is the first time iu nine years, the length of his stay here that Gilmmir Dobie, Washington coach, has made n prediction before a game bus been play ed, that his tcuni would win. In the nine years he has not lost a game. Washington is being, made n two to one favorite today by Seattle bettors with plenty of California money in sight. On dope the two tennis seem about n toss up as far as strength is concerned. The dny broke cleur nnd crisp follow ing a light rain last night and the grid-j iron was in excellent trim for the en- j counter. The Bear Staters were hoping for their siieed to carry them to victory while Dobie has been schooling his men j in the forward pass and it is expected he will use this in an effort to bring home the bacon.

Crypt No. 133 in the vault of the age-darkened chapel of the Copuciu Fathers in Vienna will tonight hold the mortal remains of tho late Emperor of Austria-Hungary. Dispatches from Vienna today said preparations for the funeral will be completed with all the regal show and pomp of medieval custom that the rigid etiquette of the most formal court in tho world stipulates. " Franz Josef will tako his place among the Hnpsburg dead lute today. The fu neral procession, w hich will bear 'his body to the grave where he joins his ancestors, will start at 4:30 from tho llofburg palace. The emperor's last rest ing place is a short block distant from the ancient llofburg stato palaco, through crowded narrow streets, in some places less than 10 feet wide. Custom decreed that the late emperor should lay iu state iu the coldly-formal llofburg palace which abode Franz Josef iu life detested and that after a ec .ain number of hours the body should be transported, in specified fash ion, to the dingy little church of the Cupucin Fathers, the monks who for centuries have been keepers of the llapsburg doud. f At 4:d0 today precisely the' deep throated tones of the giant bell in the 400 foot steeple of tit. Mtcphnns church, mingling with scores of others, will an nounce termination of the formal cere monial in the llofburg Augustiner church of "Blessing the imperial dead" and beginning of the march to the grave. Royalty All There. In that procession will be representa tives of. all of Austria-Hungary's al lies and one of the greatest gatherings of royalty since the death of (jueen Vic toria of England. The one notable ab sentee Will be Kniser Wilholm of Ger many, who left Vienna yesterday on strict orders of his physician. - The Ger man emperor had a bad cold, but not withstanding, had come to the Austrian capital for the funeral. His physician, however, ordered that he leave the damp climate at once. There were to be half a dozen other members of German roy alty in Vienna, however, and Czar Ford inand of Bulgaria, the Crown Prince Boris and Prince Cyrill of that same country; the Turkish Crown Prince Wa hid Eddin; Prince Alfonso Be Bourbon of Austria; Infanta Dona Maria Delos Nieves, and the Crown Prince Gustnv Adolf of Hwcdea. These joined in the funeral procession with u resplendent guard of honor. Custom decrees that the most resplen dent of all ceremonies of the burial of an emperor tuke place in the plain 400 year old chapel of the Capucins. The walls of this little church and the altar will be draped in solid black. In this Egyptian gloom scores of wax caudles will throw u dim, ghostly light over the gloomy interior. All the rough benches will have been taken out und all the notables will be required to stand. The Hapsburg custom decrees that the mas ter of ceremonies, resplendent in black, red and gold, shall come from the jtner isty as soon as the procession moves and shall act as usher to those seeking ad mittance to the tiny chapel, arranging them in accordance with birth, runk and stution in life.

Bender, (United I'ress .Stnff Corersponde.ht.) Washington, Nov. 30.- Officials to day believed tho allied governments will tako the hints of their ambassadors hero and permit .Count Tarnowski, the new Austrian ambassador, to come to Washington without "unusunl inter ference." It was believed Great Britain and France, at least, would grant the sug gestion made 'by this government in representations sent late yesterday, to "consider" tho case. These represen tations, it was stated,, wero not a flat request for safe conduct for the new envoy, but a reminder that failure to justify Tarnowski 'a right of passage the right of sovereign nations to ex change ambassadors being inalienable would mnke a distinctly bad impres sion upon public opinion here. The communications are based strict ly upon international law and in no way make tho issue one of interna tional courtesy, which would place thisi country in the attitude of asking a favor. It is frankly admitted that final denial . of the request would create a. condition difficult to solve. Even should safe conduct bo granted, the Austrian envoy,, however, it would not protect hiB papers. Theso will be subjoct to search by the British gov ernment. It wns rcfalled today that when both Ambassador Dumba and Captain Von Fapen, German military attache here, were recalled they were granted afe conduct .but tho ship on which tjcy sailed wns stopped by the British government and private papers wero taken from both. Secretary Lans ing has held "safe conduct" coverB only 'the person" not his effects. A speedy reply is expected from both England and Franco to tho repre sentations. Their embassies here have already intimated to their governments Tarnowski should be' allowed to come. Ho is scheduled to sail December 10 from Rotterdam.

Owirg to a deadlock between the min ers and the owners, the government was emrvincpa that nationalization of the mines was the only thing that could pre vent a d'Kiistrnus strike at this critical stage of I ho war. A special commit tee, made up from representatives or tho home office, the board of trude and the admiralty, will, under the new plan, tako control of the mines.

EMBARGO FOOD WILL START BIG ROW AT COMING SESSION Congressmen From Rural Districts Will Put Up Red Hot Fight MAY NAME COMMISSION ' TO STUDY PRICE CAUSE May Force Storage Plants n ii i a n r .di u to ae i iu rer teni tacn 30 Days Washington, Nov. 30. Evidence Con tinued to pile up hero today that con gress is going to Bpeud considerable of its precious time In the coming short session looking for a high coat of living panacea. Here are some of the remedies which. early arrivals at the capital have sug gested, and which they say will push iu resolutions to be introduced: An embargo on all foodstuffs. A law compelling those who stora foodstuffs for speculative purposes to dispose of 10 per cent of their holdings every 30 days, at prevailing prices. Investigation of tne entire question of high prices either by the federal trude commission or a special joint con gressional committee which will recom mend legislation suggested by its find ings. That the president and his cabinet will strongly favor tho last suggestion. senators and representatives say, is a foregone conclusion. Tho president o discussed the high coat of living fre quently with his cabinet advisers and ha is taKing deep interest in the work of the postoffice, commerce and agricultur al departments along this line. The embargo" idea,1' besides bavin; Representative Fitzgerald of New York, to lead it, will have tho strong backing of many other congressmen. Iteprosen tative Jeff McLemore said today he will favor it, and that he has inter viewed or heard by mail from many oth ers who will do the same. ' However, no food embargo will be es tablished without a bitter legislative fight.' Many urban, representatives are expected to line np for it, but r.eprtsen tntives from rural districts have an nounced they will fight it to the last. Republican Minority Leader Mann d Representative Borlund, Missouri, both with strong followings, believe an em bargo is not what is wanted. If Representative McLemore thinks a. fond embargo will fail of passage, he will strongly urge the second suggestion mentioned above, which would hit bard at storage speculators. Borland wants a congressional or fed eral trade commission investigation. . ORDERS EGGS BOYCOTTJSJU 4c New York, Nov. 30.
