IS AGAIN A BRIDE
Mrs. Fannie Smith Trude Married to Harry Riley, Circus Performer.
Special to the Herald
Chicago, Nov. 20.---Mrs. Fannie Smith Trude, celebrated as the inventor of "trial divorce," is a bride again to-day. Announcement was made that she has been married to Harry Riley, a circus performer.
Mrs. Trude's adventures in matrimony number three. She was wed when 16 to a boy named Daggett, but the marriage was annulled through the efforts of George A. Trude, later a judge of the Superior court here. Then Trude married her himself. In 1911 they separated and made public announcement that they had agreed to a trial divorce. If it be proved satisfactory it would be made permanent later. The real divorce came in 1915. Riley is said to have been a boyhood sweetheart.

Outlook in Roumania is Blacker Than Ever
London, Nov. 20.---The allies' victory at Monastir, in Macedonia, was pushed into the background to-day by advices from Roumania. The outlook for salvation of Roumania is blacker than it has been at any other time since the armies of Von Falkenhayn and Von Mackenson began their double drive in September.
Powerful thrusts within the last forty-eight hours have driven the Austro-German lines nearly fifty miles into the western part of Roumania.
Teutons Cut Railroad.
Austro-German forces have cut the Orsova-Craiova railroad, the only railway line running through Roumania from the east to west. This advance menaces the Roumanian army on the line stretching along the Danube in a southeasterly direction from Orsova and will probably compel its retreat. A retirement of this force will open the way for a brand new invasion of Roumania from Bulgaria by way of Vidin or Rahova.
The progress of Austro-Germans in northeastern Roumania is much more difficult. The Roumanians and Russians have massed the bulk of their armies in that zone to prevent Roumania being cut off from Russia. But a decisive victory in that sphere will not be necessary if the Teutons keep up their swift progress across the Roumanian plain.
May Compel Retreat.
An advance across this stretch of level ground in Central Roumania will put the Austro-Germans in the rear of the armies in the Carpathians and the eastern ranges of the Transylvanian Alps, compelling them to flee. 
Heavy battles continue on the Somme front in France. The allies ar[sic] keeping up their drive of success. Berlin dwells upon the severity of the allies' losses there.

Serbians Given Credit for Great Victory
London, Nov. 20.---The Serbians are given the lion's share of honor by the morning papers in discussing the fall of Monastir. The capture of hill 1212 by Serbians and their rapid advance to hill 1378, threatening the Bulgarians only avenue of retreat along the Prilep road, is considered the main factor in forcing the hasty evacuation of the city.
Military opinion insists that the allies must now advance toward Prilep, using Monastir as a base, and from there to Negotin, on the Vardar. From the latter town they claim that the Bulgarian positions, east of the Cerna, could be outflanked and the frontier passes opened to the allied forces which are now engaged northwest of Saloniki. The fall of Monastir is considered as clearly showing the superiority of the allies over the German-Bulgar forces in view of the formidable defenses which had been created around the city.

RICHARDS FOUND GUILTY
Jury Returns Verdict in Attempted Blackmail Case.
Port Angeles, Wash., Nov. 20.---The jury in the case of Frank J. Richards, formerly of Lincoln, Neb., charged with attempted blackmail of David E. Thompson of Nebraska, former ambassador to Mexico, returned a verdict of guilty to-day after being out twenty-one hours. Richards was charged with threatening to publish a biography of Thompson in the event that he refused to pay $24,000 which Richards alleged was due him on a partnership account.

Dutch Pained by Germans
London, Nov. 10.---An Amsterdam dispatch to the Wireless Press says the Dutch government has instructed its representative at Berlin to notify the German government that a painful impression has been produced in Holland by the deportation of Belgian civilians.

Railroad Brotherhoods from Affiliating With the Federation
Baltimore, Nov. 20.---An all-important week confronted the American Federation of Labor to-day, as it started on the last lap of its yearly convention here.
Garretson, Lee, Stone and Carter, heads of the railroad brotherhoods and the "Big Four" of the labor world, whose arrival is expected to bring to a head the eight-hour controversy, where not here this morning and their coming may be delayed until to-morrow.
The likelihood of the railroad brotherhoods coming into the fold of the American Federation of Labr[sic], after having held aloof so many years is engrossing the attention of leaders and delegates. Such a move would bring more than 400,000 workers into the federation and consolidate practically all the organized labor of the country under a common head.
Closer Together Than Ever.
"We are closer together now than we have ever been before," said President Gompers to-day. "There is nothing of any moment that would prevent the railroad brotherhoods from affiliating with the federation."
There is a widespread desire among the delegates to see the railroad men come into the fold, forget all the old differences and present a united front to "the enemy."
The question of what form the federation's indorsement of a universal eight-hour day will take also is providing mrch[sic] difference of opinion. A majority of the leaders, including President Gompers and Vice President James O'Connell, who also was a member of the United States Industrial Relations committee, frankly do not want to see a universal eight-hour day come flatly by national legislation.
Want Law Other Ways.
"We'll get it other ways," said O'Connell. "If the politicians can give it to us they also can take it away when their whim changes. We want it on a more solid foundation than that." 
It is practically certain, however, that the convention will be in accord with the plans of the brotherhood chiefs.
Labor is going to demand a seat on the peace board when the European war closes. To that end a committee is now working on a resolution which will be presented to the convention this week.

WILL FIGHT TO ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Senator Chamberlain Will Propose Amendment to the Constitution.
Special to The Herald.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 20.---Senator George E. Chamberlain will introduce at the coming session of Congress a proposal to a constitutional amendment providing for the election of president by direct vote of the people, according to a formal statement issued to-day.
The statement says that he hopes to have it acted upon in time to become effective four years hence.
"The recent election demonstrated more strongly than ever the desirability of electing the president by direct vote," says the statement. "If five thousand votes in California had been changed that State would have gone for Hughes and he would have been elected, notwithstanding  400,000 more votes where cast in the nation for Wilson than for Hughes."

KILLS HIMSELF WHEN CAPTURE IS IMMINENT
Man Who Shot and Seriously Wounded Sweetheart Chased by Posse.
Special to The Herald.
Alliance, O., Nov. 20.---About to be captured by a posse of enraged farmers Ralph Poto, 22, who early to-day shot and seriously wounded his sweetheart, Mabel Austin, turned his revolver upon himself. He fired three bullets into his breast and is believed to be dying. Poto escaped from the scene of the Austin shooting on his motorcycle. Farmers pursuing him came upon him when his gasoline gave out. Poto shot the girl when she told him she could not go with him any longer because of her father's objections.

TRANSPORT PRAIRIE ARRIVES
Philadelphia, Nov. 20.---The United Sates transport Prairie arrived at the Philadelphia navy yard to-day, bringing a number of survivors of the cruiser Memphis, recently wrecked on the rocks off San Domingo. Several marines wounded by snipers during the campaign in Haiti were also landed by the Prairie.

James Kearney of Kearney & O'Reilly is now located at 490 S. Salina St., formerly occupied by John Shelman.---Adv.

TUGBOAT BOILER BLOWS UP; 2 ARE KILLED, 9 HURT
Two Others, Missing, Believed to Have Sunk With Debris.
Special to The Herald.
New York, Nov.20.---Without a second of warning the boiler of the tugboat Rambler exploded to-day in the East river, killing two persons and injuring nine. Two others missing are thought to have sunk with the debris of the boat.
The dead are Capt. Eugene Casey, the commander of the tug, and Andrew Pitts, engineer. It was Casey's first day aboard the craft. The missing are Frederick Zaane a deck hand and Frank Estabrook, a boatman.
The Williamsburg water front was covered with the wreckage of the boat. Ambulances were rushed from the Greenpoint hospital.
Hundreds hurried to the spot thinking that relatives or friends were among the dead or missing. The shock of the explosion shattered the windows of the Chelsea Fiber company's mill nearby, where 1,000 girls are employed. For a few moments there was danger of panic, but the coolness of foremen reassured the employees.

SLAYS STEP-DAUGHTER SENTENCED IN DAY
Alfred Culey Gives Himself Up to Avoid Injury---Given Life Term.
Special to The Herald.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 20.---Alfred Culey is on his way to Marquette to-day, less than twenty-four hours after he shot and killed his step-daughter. Culey became enraged because of a quarrel with his wife over the girl yesterday, fired a bullet at her and after she had fallen crushed her skull with the butt of a rifle. Fearing violence at the hands of neighbors he drove to town here and surrendered. Shortly after midnight a special session of court was called. Culey pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

London, Nov. 20.---Bridagier[sic] General Duncan J. Clasford, director of military training in Australia before the war, has died of wounds received on the Somme front, says a dispatch from Paris to-day.

Daring Aviatrix Completes Her Record-Breaking Airplane Flight
Ruth Law Makes Trip in Antiquated Machine.
Exposed to the Wind, Girl is Chilled on Reaching N. Y.
Leads Women Aviators
New York, Nov. 20.---The flight achievement of Miss Ruth Law in covering the distance between Chicago and Hornell makes her first among all the women aviators of the world and second counting men as her rivals. The record for non-stop flights is:
First---French Sub-Lieut. A. Marchal. from Nancy, France, to Cholm, Poland, 812.5 miles.
Second---Miss Ruth Law, from Chicago to Hornell, 590 miles.
In addition Miss Law holds the American cross-country non-stop record, the greatest previous mileage having been made by Victor Carlstorm in his recent flight of 452 miles from Chicago to Erie, Pa.
New York, Nov. 20.---The record-breaking airplane flight of Ruth Law, begun yesterday in Chicago, terminated at Governor's island here at 9:40 A. M. to-day after stops at Hornell and Binghamton. The final 152 miles from Binghamton to this city was covered this morning in 2 hours and 20 minutes, and the entire journey, 832 miles in airline, in the actual flying time of 9 hours and 1 minute.
Miss Law was greeted on her arrival at Governor's island by Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Leonard Wood, who congratulated her on her achievements. She was considerably chilled and was taken to the house of one of the officers at the post to recuperate.
She had little to say about her flight except to say that she had to fly much lower than she wished on account of the haze. It was the cause of remark among those who examined her machine here that its structure was such as to expose her to the air more than in the case of the most modern airplanes. The pilot's seat is placed on a projection in front of the ma-

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 20.---Rumors that William J. Bryan will move his voting residence to Asheville, N. C., are denied by his business associates in Lincoln. Reports of his intended removal to the South have been appearing at intervals for some time.

20 UNEXPLODED BOMBS FOUND IN SARNIA'S CARGO
American Liner Caught Fire at Sea, But Not Damaged.
New York, Nov. 20.---Twenty unexploded bombs were found in the sugar cargo of the American steamship Sarnia upon her arrival at Cherbourg, France, after a voyage starting from New York on September 2d, during which the vessel caught fire from a cause unknown, according to Fourth Mate Wybrance of the Sarnia who arrivel[sic] here to-day on the American line steamship New York from Liverpool.
Sugar made up the bulk of the cargo of the Sarnia and the barge Avondale which she had in tow upon leaving New York. The fire at sea was extinguished without serious damage, Wybrance said, and the two vessels put in at Havre to discharge part of their cargo. It was not until they reached Cherbough[sic] that the sugar was unloaded.
The Sarnia, before the war a Hamburg-American line steamship and since transferred to American registry, was cleared from New York by J. H. Winehester & Company, shipping brokers, and was owned by Hudson Bay company. The sugar was consigned to the French government by A. H. Lambirn & Company, New York sugar brokers. An officer of the latter company said to-day that no word had been received here of the finding of bombs and that the fire was not a serious one.

River, Rail and Ocean Carrier Service to Be Studied
TO MAKE COMPARISONS
Committee Will Contrast Government Ownership With Control and Regulation---To Thrash Out Question of State Rights.
Washington, Nov. 20.---The joint congressional committee appointed to investigate a wide range of problems relating to railroads and other common carriers held its first meeting to-day. State  railroad commissioners were to be heard first.
Investigations Widespread.
At frequent sessions during the next six weeks the committee expects to receive the views of railway officials, financiers, labor leaders, shippers, heads of express, telephone and telegraph companies and other students of transportation problems. The committee is to report by January 8th.
Among those who planned to attend the opening meeting was Warren H. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who is here with other brotherhood heads, to discuss their legislative programme for the coming session of Congress.
Representative Adamson, vice chairman of the joint committee and author of the eight-hour law, had an engagement to discuss prospective legislation with President Wilson to-day.
Newlands Outlines Purpose.
In opening the first session of the joint congressional committee to investigate railroad problems Senator Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, the chairman, explained that the inquiry would cover a wide field.
He said: "It will relate to every phase of the tansportation[sic] question, the rail carriers, the river carriers and the ocean carriers and the perfection of a harmonious system of transportation embracing rail, river and ocean carriers that will meet the demands of interstate as well as foreign commerce, and it will also be applied to telegraph and telephone lines, express companies and other public utilities.
To Study Government Ownership.
"It will embrace not only the subject of government control and regulation of these utilities, but also the wisdom and the feasibility of government ownership and the comparative worth and efficiency of government regulation and control as compared with the government ownership and operation."
He said it might not be possible to come to a speedy conclusion regarding all questions.
Referring to government ownership Senator Newlands said that other nations had adopted the system and that recently under the stress of war almost all European governments had taken over the railroads.
Should Study Europe
He added:
"Whether that will be a permanent taking over or only a temporary one, it demonstrates that in conditions of great crises, when autocratic powers must be given to the government, all intelligent governments drift toward absolute and complete operation of the roads as the only solution of the question.
"If we pursue the exercise and the study of government regulation wisely, persistently and energetically, we may create such a system of regulation as will meet every requirement, both in times of peace and of war, and in exigency of crisis.
"But it seems to be a wise thing for the government of the United States to ascertain now the history of the countries that have adopted government ownership and operation of railways and to watch the experiences of the European countries in this great war in this regard.
Method of Taking Over Lines.
"In this connection will come the question of the method of taking over the railroads. Shall it be accomplished by an actual valuation of the railways and a condemnation of them or shall they be taken over by the easier method of taking over the stocks and the bonds at their market value, thus at on step having the national government take the position of stockholder and security holder in these great corporations?"
