(U. A new system has been inaugurated in Berlin, whereby everyone must buy underclothing, men's and women's suits and coats through special magistrates' cards. The city experienced Its first frosty night last night, and consequently there was a great rush for the new clothing cards. The crowds were so great that it was necessary to give out numbers to the newcomers and allow them to stand In line and await their turn. Piece goods, excepting silks, for some time have been purchasable Only by presenting cards.

These were easily obtainable. It was necessary only to appear at a magistrate's bureau and how a police stamp as proof of Berlin residence. One object of the new clothing regulations is to prevent speculators from procuring large quantities and holding for higher prices later.

Berlin. Oct. 21. (U. Telephone communication between Berlin and Vienna was interrupted tonight Immediately after news of the assassination of Count Stuergkh, Austrian prime minister, reached the German capital.

Fragmentary dispatches regarding the shooting have caused the greatest speculation here. The news of the assassination reached Berlin shortly after 6 o'clock and spread rapidly throughout the city, i One dispatch said that Count Stuergkh was lunching at the Hotel Relssl and Schadn when he was. attacked. Frederick Adler, editor of a Vienna periodical, walked Into the din-; ing room and without. a word fired three shots, taking careful aim at Count Stuergkb's head.

The premier fell over in his-chair. Friends rushed to his side and found that he had died instantly. Berlin -newspapers were making ef forts to learn more details of the assassination" when they were informed that telephone connection between the two capitals had been broken. Count Karl Stuergkh became prime minister of Austria on November 3, 1911. The ministry was reorganized in November, 1916.

COREY'S EDUCATED TOE CAUSE OF BIG SCORE Oregon Lads Weakened Early in Game by Injury to Two Star Players. By R. A. Cronin.

Right Halfback Tuffy Conn showed the stalwart Cornhuskers how to run 101 yards for a touchdown on Multnomah field yesterday afternoon, but the artful little dodger of the Oregon Aggies couldn't beat the entire University of Nebraska team, and the easterners took the root ball classic, IT to 7. Nothing like Conn's run nas ben seen In Portland in years. It wsis Just at the opening of the second quarter and Caley was sidling over t-i Aggies' line for what would have been the CornhusKers' second touchdown, when the oval slipped out of his hands and Into the watting paws of Tuffy. who was preparing to dive into me easterner. The fleet-footed Aggie whs already in motion toward the Nebraska goal line when Caley recovered from his stumbling.

Carried Signs on Back. Racing down the west side line, the California freshman hit a gait that carried him one after another out of reach of his red-Jerseyed pursuers. Gardner was the last man remaining In the sprint after the flying Aggie, but had he known in advance that Tuffy tan do the quarter in 50 seconds any old day, he would not have wasted so much breath. Also, Mr. Tuffy Conn of Pasadena, the home of the millionaires, wore a large 23 sewed on his broad young back and that in itself should have been warning enough to Mr.

Gardiner et al. bf Nebraska. Plucking the hurtling ball out of the sky one yard behind his own goal line, the Pasadenan made a record run of 01 yafffr between' gfl lines. It will go down in history with Dow Walker's famous run for the Aggies against Oiegon in 1905, which, too, was not enough to give forth a Tleld Was rast. It was an ideal day 'for a football game and the dry footing caused the Multnomah club official to scrape off the old familiar coating of sawdust.

That made the field faster than it has ever been before, and this very fact was probably responsible for a good deal of the Aggies' fumbling and their inability to pull off forward passes. In the last analysis, the Aggies' aerial shoots went into enemy hands as often as into friendly ones and two of the Nebraska interceptions at least provided the impetus ifor eventual Nebraska goals Injuries Weakened Chances. The easterners tackled harder than the Aggies, and were never down until the weight of their opponents carried them into the dirt. Of course, the early absence of the bulky Ozbun Walker and the hard tackling of Captain Blssett At end. doubtless hurt the Aggies In resisting the easterners' charging.

Walker went out early In the game from a bad ankle, and Blssett followed later, being carried off th.e field. While the O. A. C. captain was in there, he certainly played havoc with runs directed toward his flank.

However, the open field running of Conn was the outstanding feature, and toward the end the Nehraskans in the cadet band were yelling loudly for Conn to carry the ball. They liked to see his exhibition of the fox trot. Apache glide, dervish whirl and Charley Chaplin walk rolled Into one intricate maze of evolutions for presentation to opposing tacklers. Among those who performed brilliantly for the Aggies was "Darkhorse" Newman. Just why he should be carted "darkhorse" is a mystery By the stiltlike way he climbed Out of every mass play, "Charley horse" would no doubt have more aptly described his legs at least.

But even with a pair of weakened stilts he did yeoman work for the Oregonians. Busch. Selph, Brooke and A. Anderson played well. Beverley Anderson and Hubbard were among others who played with credit against Nebraska.

Outclassed In First Quarter. One of the brilliant lights on the Ne braska team was Caley, Riddell was nearly his equal in end running. Captain Corey has an educated toe nd it takes a lot of Interference to circle his end. The Nebraska backs were superior to the Aggies' backs as a whole, Decause iney were supported by a stronger line, but one wonders If the Stewart system of four men back of the forward line, will hold up against the stronger, teams of the Missouri valley. Nebraska clearly outclassed the Oregon team in the first quarter, but the Incentive of Conn's touchdown caused the Aggies to brace and fight the Cornhuskers to a standstill in the setoi.d quarter.

Finding an Inability to run ends while Captain Blssett and Tackle Walker were yet in the game. the Nebraskans began assaulting the Agpie aiicfc iivicB nne rippea in it by Riddell. Otoupalik and Dobson. Aggie BesUtancs Heroic. From the time Nebraska intercepted an O.

A. C. forward pasa In the mlJ die the field until they had mad-thelr first touchdown, they did hot lose possession of the ball. Finally, aflat, a heroic Aggie resistance, Caley went over for a touchdown near the corner. Otoupalik kicked out and Caley heeled the ball fiirectly In front of the Aggies' posts, from whici It was easy for Captain Corey to boot it over.

GREAT BATTLEGROUND IN THE MIDDLE WEST Results in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin Will Have Vital Bearing. Washington, Oct. 21. (WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) The Ohio valley and etates further went have become the great battleground of the campaign.

States regarded as an rely for Hughes at the time of the national conventions have slipped, into the doubtful column. This Is not due to any masterful strategy on the part" of the managers of the Wilson campaign. It Is due more than anything rise to the sober sense of the voters In asking each other the question "What have we gain, and what might we by the election of This question has many forms, but It Is essentially thesme question, and the outstanding answers are these: The country cannot gain prosperity through Hughes. It already has that. It cannot gain progressive administration, for this Is betng given In most convincing way.

It mfcy lose peace, which many believe I directly threatened by rece it utterances of Hughes, who has seemingly caught some of the war fire from Roosevelt. Unquestionably the country wants prosperity, it wants progressive government, and It wanta peace. Because it has all of these, and may lose any one or all three If Hughes Is elected, the hard headed man of the west is not responding to the Hughes propaganda as the Republican managers thought W. wotfld.

That they belong there evidenced by careful polls tnadt, ly-'tdftilcal committees of both parties, by newspaper estimates by men who are Intimate with local conditions, and by admissions here and there of features that are dhsquleting local leaders, which bear labels such as these: wlUon is much stronger than his party in this "The women Heern to favor the president becauxe they like his peace policies," "Many Progressives who have been on the fence are coming out for Wilson," "The Roosevelt speeches are causing fear that. Hughes will lead the country inio war," and other like expressions. This is the sort of news that comes from Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, and on out to Idano and Oreg6n. Practically every one -of these states in the great corn and wheat belt on to the Pacific ooast was regarded soon after convention time as a sura thing for Hughes, It is not t.o today.

The only states now fcnerally conceded is sure for Hughes In the west, and in justice it should 'be said that even these are sometimes disputed, are Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota. Wyoming, Utah and California. In some of the othejr states the Hughes campaign is regarded "as leading, but' not by any such margin as to justify placing it as sure for Hughes. Close right la Ohio.

"It would be entirely satisfactory to me for Mr. Hegardt to go the first of the week," said Charles B. Moorei. chairman of the public dock commis sion. "I can go whenever the commission wants me to," said Mr.

Hegardt. The arrangement for cooperation follows the suggestion of the possibility by Tbe Journal. The application that brought definite result was received yesterday by the dock commission from E. R. Scott, secretary of the Hood River Commercial club.

"Truman Butler, chairman of the river Improvement committee," wrote Mr. Scctt, "advises me that the committee will be glad to meet with you at some date next week, but says further that he believes if it were possible for your engineer to make a short visit to Hood River, the matter would be placed more clearly before you, than a meeting of our committee with yours without such a visit from him.

In the name of "all Progressives by principle and conviction," Bainbridge Colby of New York, forejpost leader of the Progressive party, last night nominated Woodrow Wilson for president of the United States. The 4000 men and women Progressives, Republicans and Democrats nearly lifted the roof from the Armory with the volume of noise which greeted this impromptu nomination.

They stood and yelled and waved their hats with frenzied enthusiasm. Mr. Colby was introduced by William Hanley, Progressive candidate for United States senator from Oregon In 1914, as the man who twice had nominated Theodore Roosevelt at the Progressive party national conventions in 1912 and 1916. This led Mr. Colby to offer an aixlogy and to name for president the man who is now recognized as the true exponent of Progressive principles.

Predicts Unanimous Election. "I wnt to say," continued Mr. Colby, "there never has been a nomination that will be followed so soon by an almost unanimous election." Again the big crowd, that filled every seat on the floor and In the gallery of the armory, while hundreds were standing, broke into wild cheering. Last night's meeting, one of the largest and by far the most enthusiastic held in Portland during- this campaign, verjr decidedly a Progressive gathering, Mr. Oolby, nslde from being a leader in the organisation of the Progressive party and the mart whOi twice nominated Roosevelt, la tne party's nominee for United States senator in New York.

William Hanley is one of the recognised leaders of the Progressives In Oregon, while other Progressives were on the platform and the big crowd enthusiastically applauded reference to the principles for which the Progressives stand. Cheer Interrupt Speech. Samuel Democratic state chairman, introduced Mr. Hanley. When the latter was presented, the crowa i Blood and cheered, as it did when Colby was Introduced.

As Mr. Colby warmed to his speech, the audience broke Into cheers time and time again. He said he was supporting Woodrow Wilson because Wilson is the foremost leader of the Progressives in the nation today. He reviewed the list of achievements, which he declared entitled the president to this place. What an impresalve list of achievements!" he exclaimed.

"How can any Progressive hesitate? How can any Progressive refuse hlg support to such a president on such a record without being false to his professions as a Progressive? All Can Support Wilson. "Remember, my friends, It is the part of the independent in politics to approve and support, as well as to protest and revolt. We revolted In 1912 against conditions that had become intolerable in our public life. It agreeable in this election to find that we can with right good conscience and entire consistency throw our strength as Progressives to sustain an administration that has. been honest, jatriotic and efficient." Mr.

Colby said he had assumed that Colonel Roosevelt, in his speeches, would have something to say to the Progressives, explaining his refusal to continue the fight for Progressive principles. He recalled the colonel's pledge to stand by the party and fight for its principles to the bitter end. Progressiva Abandoned. "He offers no excuse or justifica tion for his abandonment of the Pro gressive party, said Colby, "but frank, ly says that he is working in the in terest of the success of the Republi can party. It seems evident to him, Mr.

Colby said, that Roosevelt has thrown a monkey wrench into the machinery of the Hughes campaign. "It is evidently the colonel's belief that Mr. Hughes is a pussy-footer; that he isn't aylng the things that ought to be said; that be has had months to say them and now It is time the colonel said them for him," declared the colonel's formerTlght hand man. T. B-'s Followers Mortified.

VI am truly to see Mr. Roose velt give way to bis passions and in dulge in such unrestrained, excited and bitter tirades against the president. What he says Is not true. It is not Just. It is inexcusable.

It Is received by Colonel Roosevelt's admirers with pain and mortification. It is resented from one end Of the country to the other. This view met with the instant lap provai or tne inousana who were listening with the closest attention, between cheers. Mr. Colby spoke as follows: Wilson Poremost Progressive.

It was in this section that Roosevelt recruited most of his Rough Riders and it is the country hereabouts that Jumped some 3200 an acre in value right after the colonel dedicated the irrigation dam that bears his name, so his coming was like the proverbial welcome home." Roosevelt, in thoroughly Rooseveft fashion, sensed the sort of audience that sat sweltering before him under a searing Arizona sun. Would Talk About Mexico.

He had been told on the way from Prescott here by Tom Campbell, Republican candidate for governor, that the state was sure Democratic, and teat "there is no irrterest in the Mexi can question -here." He wanted Roosevelt to include some other subject, but tne colonel declined. "That's th very reason I'll sav v-hat I want to say. We will see if we can stir up something on the Mexl can issue." Throughout his rather long address there was scarcely, an "lng" suffix pronounced. Roosevelt dropped into Arizona cowboy talk, like a duck takes to water. He had been dropping more and more into plains dialect the farther west he got for two days.

Indians Among Auditors. His audience today Was chitfly farmers and cattle-raisers. There was a big-delegation of old soldiers from Tucson and scores of "Indians present. A band of full-blooded redskins, who represented JO. tribes, furnished the "Hall to the Chief stuff.
