General Korniloff, leader of the recent rebellion against the provisional government and General Lokomsky, the commander of the northern front, who refused to take command of the Russian armies after Korniloff was deposed, have been arrested. The question of the probable fate of General Korniloff Is exciting public opinion. Indications are that the government must face serious difficulties over the matter. A feature of the conflict Is the creditable absence of bitter feeling and clamor for veng eance. Would Face Reproach. Having re-established capital punish raent at the front, the government, if it spares the rebel commander, must face the reproach that it executed com mon soldiers for less serious offenses and It would be virtually impossible to impose the death penalty in the fu ture. Against thi3 are the facts of Gen eral Korniloff 's brilliant services, his chivalrous and personal character and the happy circumstance that there has been no bloodshed so far. There are indications that the gov ernment is seeking a way out. As an Instance M. Kishkin, the new minister of the interior, declares that the gov ernment has decided not to take ex treme measures against Korniloff as it does not wish to appear revenge ful.

When "Professor" Know

By LUKE SCHNEIDER There's a new fortune teller in Richmond. He is "Professor" J. C. Hall, and claims to be the "master mind clairvoyant." He has rented a room at 400 North Ninth street, and It is there that he gazes Into one's eyes, feels one's pulse, occasionally bowe bis head and tells you well its no matter what he tells, he's just a fortune teller.

Heinrich Von Eckhardt, the German minister to Mexico, last night made a statement denying everything In connection with the disclosures from Washington that he had been employing a former Swedish charge d'affaires to convey information to the Berlin foreign office. Von Eckhardt declared he had never sent any communication through Folke Cronholm and that he never wrote any communication recommending Cronholm for a decoration for his services to Germany. Von EcKhardt further declared that he did not know Cronholm personally, only having met him at diplomatic receptions or through the offices of the ambassadors or some such formal means. Von Eckhardt makes a formal denial of everything in connection with the Washington disclosures, and in reply to an assertion that Washington had full proof of his complicity declared that this was merely an American intrigue for the purpose of casting discredit on the representative of Germany.

It jumped out of the water when 100 yards off and struck the engine room near the water line, making a large rent and flooding several compartments. A starboard lifeboat was blown into the air, pieces landing on the wireless aerial. "Soon after a periscope was observed just before the port beam. It turn ed toward the ship, but quickly disappeared as the enemy further submerged. Again it appeared and was followed this time by the conning tower. Fire was opened and the first shot hit the base of the conning tower and removed the two periscopes. Many other hits were obtained, and the submarine quickly assumed a list to port and several men came out of the batch. U-Boat Tries to Escape.

Also he reunites the separated and according to his advertising cards he's a fast rival of the little love god, for he "causes speedy and happy marriages, and restores lost affections." But bo much for the preliminaries. The point of this story is that "Professor" Hall's "master mind" slipped a cog Saturday morning, when myself, together with the certain city official, as I have 6ald before, "consulted" him on a "business deal." We were escorted into the front room, where several books lay on the table, and the "professor" a prosperous looking gent, a big diamond on his GOVERNOR'S HEART ACTION STRONGER INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 15 Governor James P. Goodrich, who is 111 of ty phoid fever at the Methodist hospital ! here, was reported at the hospital at noon today to show a slight improvement over his condition reported at 10 a. m. The governor passed a satisfactory night, but during the morning circulatory trouble developed. At noon, however, the heart action was said to be stronger, indicating the complication had been, at least partially overcome. Dr. .der S. Hunt, of Winchester, the Goodrich family physician, is here to assist Dr. Charles R. Sowders, the local physician in charge of the case. The physician gave out the following signed statement at noon today: "Governor Goodrich has been ill with typhoid fever for about 30 days. He has a second infection of recur rent, beginning about September 4, and is now in the height of this recur rence. His temperature varies from 102.2 to 103.8 degrees; heart rate 76 to 82; respiration 18 to 20. We can hardly expect any great reduction in temperature and with an improvement in his general condition before the end of four of five days. He is seriously ill and the final outcome will depend on the absence of compli cations and his inherent power to re sist the depleting effects of the infec tion." Richmond Boy Gets Seasick Going. Over With Pershing Crew "The weather was fine coming over," Charles L. Jones, 27 years old, a member of General Pershing's forces in France, wrote his mother, Mrs. Pauline Jones, 115 West Main street. "Hardly anyone got seasick but nevertheless I did," he says.

Rain May Put Stop to Summer Weather Summer weather has returned, but not to stay. Fair tonight and continued warmer Sunday, with increasing cloudiness is the prediction of Weather Forecaster Moore.

Two survivors were picked up. Our ship made for harbor." 2. "One of our small craft sighted an enemy submarine at a distance of 10,000 yards.

Neighbors noticing the house was In flames, rescued the couple just as the fire had begun to eat its way into the room in which they were sleeping. The origin of the fire was not discovered, but it is believed to have been caused by a small fire made by Mr. Price In a cook stove.

TOBACCO FOND LISTS PLACED IN STORES

Movement to Send "Makin's to Sammy" Finds Favor in Richmond. "If everyone realized the restfulress of a smoke during a halt On long marches, there would be no question about sending cigarettes to France." Gerald Mygott, in Leslie's Weekly, September 15. The above statement was not only made for those "conscientious object ors," who think it "awful" to supply "Our Boys" with tobacco, but also to the millions of men and young men who have not yet "gone over" but who enjoy the soothing effects of a good smoke right here at home where every form of smoking tobacco is handy. Those boys in France who gave up the opportunity to buy their favorite brand of smoke at the corner cigar store here in America to answer the country's' call, cannot buy the good domestic tobaccos but must be content with some "Turkish" brand that is not to the liking of the average American soldier. Government is Helping. Army officials realize the benefits that are gained through a quiet smoke after a hard day's work and the government is co-operating with the American Tobacco comDanv and the Palladium in sending these little gifts of the people of Richmond to the American soldiers in France. There are 100,000 American soldiers in France and soon there will be five times that many. The tobacco kits will not last forever and more are needed every day. For each kit that you send, some Sammy will have a little more comfort, and HE WILL KNOW THAT YOU SENT THE KIT, for each gift contains a post card, stamped and addressed with a request to the soldier that he acknowledge receipt of the gift by using the card.

' When a stop-cock is closed no gas is sent through the pipes, but the fire under the water heater was still burning.
