TEJi HOUKS DAY WOKK Big Demand for Union Bread a Largs Factor in Fight. One of Largest Houses in the City Surrenders. Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 2. The union bakers won a signal success Saturday when an agreement was signed up between Ed Stewart and the striking bakers. The signing of the contract concedes to the strikers ev ery concession asked for. A ten hour day, day work, and recognition of the union. A month ago Herman Rosa,' the na tional organizer, came to Leaven worth and former a union among the bakers. Demands were made upon the bakery owners for daylight work, ten hour shifts, the recognition of the union and extra pay for overtime. Conference after conference was held but to no avail, as all the master bakers were determined to stand pat. Refusal to recognize the union was the principal point of difference. An agreement was reached between the master bakers that no concession should be given- to the union. Two of the bakery owners hired four of the striking bakers who had withdrawn from this union. This ac tion was in violation of the agreement entered Into between the master bak ers and the result was the breaking of the compact and signing of the agreement by Mr. Stewart. Numerous efforts were made to bring about an arbitration of the af fair, hut the master baker9 rejected the advancements. The union bakers then stated their esse to the Trades and Labor council. The council agreed to stand back of the strikers and ac cord them their support In any man ner. An order was sent by the union bakers to Kansas City for union bread. The various labor councils In structed their members to use nothing but union bread. The result of this order was that several merchants in town purchased the Kansas City bread In order to ac commodate tho union trade. The strikers worked up a considerable trade amounting to seven or eight hundred loaves a day. A proposition was on foot to start a new union bakery In Leavenworth at the old Schmidt property at Sev enth and Osage streets. At this stage of the controversy the grievance com mittee began to do some effective work. The committee took the mat ter up and going to each master bak er individually, an effort was made to explain the situation In such a man ner that the controversy could be set tled. This will possibly settle the diffi culty as all union bakers will be em ployed In some way about the Stewart bakery. "Mr. Stewart will employ all his boys back," said William Hllde brandt. "and all the union boys will be employed either in the shop or on the wagons." SEPTIC TANK DAMAGE. Farmer Estes, Near Cherryvale, Thinks Ho Has Been Done $5,000 Harm. Independence, Kan., Nov. 2. The septic tank proposition as 'far as Cher ryvale Is concerned, was given a black eye when a case was filed with the clerk of the district court In which H. F. Estes sues the city of Cherry vale for $5,000 damages.

Secures a Good Horse and Rifle by Forged Paper. Cherryvale, Kan., Nov. 2. A young man who is described as being about 'Z2 years old. five feet, eight inches .high, with dark hair and eyes, has, according to reports, been working a forged check game quite successfully in this county. J. C. Johnson, who lives one mile east of Grabham, la minus a horse through the yournr man's ways and plus a bad check for $160. The young man appeared at the Johnson farm and made a deal for the horse. He tendered a check for $150, purporting to be signed by T. H. Young. a hardware merchant of Canay.

While Mrs. Brady was using a telephone Mrs. Ross took the child and ran out of the store. They have not been seen since. Mrs. Brady gave the alarm. "The girl is 6 years old and was placed in my charge two months ago by her father," Mrs. Brady said. "It is against the rules of the home to allow the parents of a child to take it away. When Mrs. Ross came to me and said she wanted to buy her daugh ter some clothing I decided to go with her. "We went to the dry goods store. While there Mrs. Ross said she want ed to take her daughter home with her. I stepped to a telephone booth to talk with some one who had more authority than myself. When I came back a moment later Mrs. Ross and the baby were gone." The matron of the home does not know Mr. Ross, the father of the little girl.

Referee Refused to Allow Wash burn's Score. Game a Brilliant and Hard Fought Contest. By resorting almost entirely to old style football, the Drake team suc ceeded in making one lone touchdown on the Washburn eleven Saturday afternoon and won the game by a score of 6 to 0. The Washburn team although defeated had to contend with heavy odds and put up a brilliant game. The Drake team was the heavi est team seen here yet this season, out weighing the Blue eleven fully ten pounds to the man. The secret of the defeat of the local collegians can be wholly attributed to the poor defense of the Washburn team and the numerous holes ia the line. The Blue line weakened and leaked with regularity, although when the visitors had the ball within the shadow of the goal posts the locals three times rallied and put up a noble defense. With two or three of the holes in the line plugged up, a different story might have been chron icled. The Washburn line failed to charge and one or two of the members of the line played too much of the time with "their manl- forms erect." The Drake team excelled the -locals in many of the important points of the game. The work of their ends was great. The returning of punts put the Washburn team on the defensive dur ing the greater portion of the game. And their terrific line smashes were the best seen in Topeka since the days of the old game, when this was the chief scoring vehicle, and only five yards were required. In the line smashimr the work of Captain McCoy for the Hawkeyes, and of Fullback Purdy featured, although the two tackles. Herrlck and Sickel were close seconds. These four gain ed the most of the ground for the visitors. But the work of Van Meter, the stocky little quarterback of the lowans was great, especially in his return of punts. Frequently he returned the punts for such gains that the Blue lost in the punting. Van Meter received some valuable assistance from the Drake ends which enabled him to make good returns. The ends would get down the field and dispose of f- couple of the Blue men and then form Interference which was hard to penetrate. The only score of the game came in the middle of the second half. Up until that time the visiting team played the part of aggressors. But the touch down of the Drake team seemed to have gingered the Washburn for dur ing the remainder- of the game all the play was in Drake-territory. The local team can not be given too much credit for the splendid spirit v. i- v.Tin ofter having been scored upon. The players did not lose heart and worKeo. narmi The forward pass was brought into niay and with the hall on his six yard line. Smiley went over the goal line on a short pass. But Referee Masker ruled that the play was faulty in that -i j nut tha Twiuired five yards. And to an impartial observer J i v. t... ami,ll nave it looked aB uiuub gone out of bounds had he gone the required distance, as the play was pull ed oft in the southeast corner of the 10Too much credit can not be given to Referee Masker. This Is Masker's first appearance this season, although he worked here several times last sea son Masker is a fair and impartial official and every decision rendered In Saturday's game reflected his utter im partiality. His work was so fair that when he ruled adversely to Washburn on a play that might have made the game a tie, the crowds did not criticise his work. But so much can not be said for the work of Umpire Hollister. an Iowa man who comes from Williams. Hol lister had a very keen eye for Wash burn's miaplays, but on a couple of decisions he absolutely overlooked Aao-ranf- violation, not onlv HOH1C VI-'. m of the football rules, but of gentle manly conduct on me uciu. the end of the second half, right in t-ho Wnshhurn errand stand. Whitney was kicked by one of the Drake players, oui mis i)!u unno ticed by Hollister, although he was Mflri ti Washburn rooter9. and could not have failed to see the play had he been in tne game, xna uem Judge, Armln. from the Southwestern 1 1 ,t Wlnflpln did not HPPTT1 tO know what he was expected to do, and failed to pass on a single qucisiuh. iou many field Judges don't know what to do. The Washburn team suffered the most from penalties, several of fifteen yards being assessed against the" Blue ,.ftial Atae-es. Verv few were levied against the visitors. But despite the work or tne oniciais, the visitors deserved to win as they were the aggressors three-fourths of the time and had the Blue on the de fense. And then they gained by far the most ground. And the Washburn fans, co-eds and followers are not blaming the officials, but are taking their defeat in true sportsmanlike style, which Is much to their credit. The work of the two teams on the whole was clean cut and very little dirty work was apparent on either side. Washburn was punished for what little she pulled of. while the visitors seemed immune from penal ties. For the Washburn team Hope play ed a great game. He threw the for ward passes with accuracy despite his crippled shoulder. And he played a DENTISTRY AT ITS BEST! Quality is one of the first consid erations here.

Crosbys 4 stellar game Ma the defense. --His punting was effective, and he surpass ed his rival, McCoy, in kicking. Not once did Washburn's sturdy quarter back have a kick blocked. He was de liberate and always managed to punt where the Hawkeyes were not. Mc Coy had three punts blocked and once an attempt to drop kick a field goal went wild. McCoy's reputation as a kicker did not receive any boosting in this game. Outside the forward pass, Wash burn had no ground gaining plays, the strong defense of the Drake team being too much for the line bucking of the Blue. Brethour occasionally smashed through for good gains, but not often enough for Washburn to use this method of ground gaining. Mc .Vey and Smiley gained the ground on the forward passes, and both returned punts with some success. On the defense, Whitney and Larimer did the best work for the lo cals. Whitney was in every play and blocked many of the mass formations of the lowans, and Larimer made some vicious flying tackles. Brethour's defense is also worthy of mention, for It was no other than "Shag" who broke up a play near the end of the first half when the ball was held al most within a hair's breadth on the goal line. There were but two changes In the line-up during the entire game. In the second half Williams went In at end for Foster and the defensive work of the team was improved by the change. Witter, the Drake left guard, retired In favor of Hubbard during the second half. It was a great day for football. The sky was fairly clear and the wind clouds were absent- It was a trifle chilly but was Just right for good playing. The field was soft which made the playing faster and lessened chances for Injury. And very little time was taken out for any of the players. And the best part of the whole game was that there were no sore spots left after the conflict was over! The players on both teams were in good spirits and the coaches as well. Coach Weede said after the game: "It was a hard game to lose but we don't feel a bit discouraged. We were up against a hard proposition and the best team won." "We considered Washburn a worthy opponent," said Coach Griffith of the Drake team, "and we found that her strength was not over estimated. It was a hard fought game, but we think we outplayed the Washburn team, and that the best team won. Yes I think the score represented the mer its of the two teams." The Game in Detail. The first half was as interesting an exhibition of football as one ever sees. There was not a single moment of time taken out during the twenty five minutes of play, and the playing was so close and interesting that the spectators were slow to realize that the half was over. Washburn won the toss and Hope, who acted as cap tain, chose to defend the south goal. McVey received the klckoff but was downed in Washburn territory. The ball was worked up and down the field and a couple of exchanges of punts followed by a series of line bucks, In which Drake twice made first downs on straight football, brought the ball to the Washburn twenty-five yard line in Drake's possession. Here McCoy tried to drop kick a goal but the ball went very wide. Hope punted out from the twenty yard line and after an exchange of punts and a snort series of mass plays, Drake tried a forward pass but the ball struck the ground. Mc Vey then made twelve yards on a pass, but Drake held and took the ball. McCoy punted to Smiley, who fum bled and Drake took the ball on the twenty-yard line. McCoy after a couple of ineffective assaults on the Washburn line, tried another drop kick which was blocked by Whitney shoving one of the Drake men into the ball. Washburn took the ball but a fumble lost- seven yards and Hope was forced to punt the ball going out side on the thirty-five yard line. Drake smashed the line hard but Templeton broke up a play and Mc Coy was forced to punt. Van Meter made a good return and Purdy and McCoy smashed through the Washburn line for steady gains bringing the ball to the seven yard line. Drake failed to gain on the first down, but on the second down Herrlck carried it to the two-yard line, when Purdy took the ball with in an inch or two of the Washburn goal line and lost It on downs. Hope kicked out, but Van Meter returned the ball to the eighteen yard line. The half ended with the ball eight yards from the Washburn goal line and in Drake's possession. Hope kicked off to Herrick at the beginning of the second half and the ball was returned to the center of the field. Both sides were forced to punt and the exchanges of punts made the play about even. A fumble by Wash burn lost the ball near the center of the field and the Drake team started with renewed efforts for Washburn's goal line. The locals failed to hold until the ten yard line was reached and Hope punted. Van Meter ran .the ball back to the fifteen yard line. Washburn held at this Juncture and Hope again punted. This time Mc Coy received the punt and returned the ball to the seventeen-yard line. McCoy tried to drop kick here but Whitney broke through and blocked the punt. Washburn was un fortunate in this play however as the Drake team recovered the ball. Mc Coy then shot, through the center of the line on a fake end play and scored the only touchdown of the game He also kicked goal making the score 6 to 0. Being scored upon, however, much to Washburn's credit, did not dishearten the Blue a bit, but only served to make them play the harder. With the ball in the center of the field soon after the klckoff, a forward pass. Hope to Smi ley, carried the ball to the Drake 20 yard line. Another pass advanced the ball 10 yards, putting it on the 10 yard line. Brethour smashed the line for a couple of short gains, and Smiley again took the forward pass, crossing the goal line on the play. After considerable el oquence on the part of the different players, including Hope, Referee Mas ker refused to allow the touchdown on the grounds that the ball did not cross the line, the required five yards to the side of center. Drake took the ball and McCoy punt ed out of danger. A couple of passes by McVey and Smiley again brought the ball to the 25 yard line but there Drake held. After an exchange of punts and a few ineffectual scrimmages the half ended with the ball in the possession of Washburn on the Drake 60 yard line. t The lineup: Washburn. Postion. Drake.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers humbled the Iowa Hawk eyes Saturday in one of the most spec tacular and also one of the most bitter ly contested gridiron battles ever waged on Iowa field. The final score was 11 to 8. The Cornhuskers grasped the laurels of victory by reason of the driving power of their attack. Their offense was a powerful affair and the Hawkeyes, while waging a valiant re sistance, could not stay Nebraska's ad vance. The defense of the Cornhuskers was equally virile and Iowa, while making many superb gains, could not advance consistently and was com pelled to devote Its efforts in the scor lln.toKal kicks from the field. TJI .the Hawkeyes booted the ball Nebraska goal posts, thereby netting eight points. Nebraska's scores resulted from two driving touch downs, the Cornhuskers working their way down the field in a series of re sistless marches for the Iowa goal. ,elevens P,ayei aggressive football, mingling end runs and line smashes with a clever use of the for ward pass. Many long gains were made by resorting to the latter play. Much of Nebraska's success was due to the onside kick. Frequently the Corn huskers booted the ball into Iowa ter ritory and regained the oval in the gen eral scramble for its possession. Cha loupka was the Cornhuskers most sen sational performer. Whenever Ne braska needed distance, the ponderous Cornhusker tackle was given the ball for a smash through the Iowa line. On the defense, Chaloupka broke up many of the Hawkeye's plays and was down the field on punts with the ends to smother the Iowa runner in a sensa tional tackle. Captain Kirk was the mainstay of the Hawkeyes, and played a game of rare brilliance. His returns of punts often bewildered the Nebraska tacklers, and his propelling of the forward pass was almost faultless in its accuracy. His clever drop kick from the field gave the Hawkeyes their first score, and he missed one other kick only by the nar rowest of margins. During the second half the Iowa captain was injured by one of Chaloupka's fierce tackles, and Kirk was carried sobbing from the field. Iowa's second field goal was ex ecuted during the final half by Hyland. A second effort by Hyland was blocked by Chaloupka and From, and a daz zling end sprint by Birkner carried the ball to the middle of the field, where the battle ended with the Cornhuskers in possession of the ball. Fainnount 50, Drury 0. Wichita, Kan., Nov. 2. Fairmount won from Drury college Saturday by a score of 50 to 0. Not once did Drury threaten to score, and the Fairmount men played about as they pleased. But once in the game did Drury make its first down, and that was close to the end of the last half. Fairmount did almost all of its work by end runs and the forward pas. White, J. Plank and G. Solter got around the ends with ease. Twice did White make touchdowns after fifty yard runs. At the end of the first half the score stood 27 to 0, and it was evi dent that Fairmount could pile it much higher. Bates, who is the star player for Fairmount, left the game in the second half, and Martin went in. J. Plank did good work at kicking goals, five of them. Wickham, center for Drury, played the game with that team and proved himself a star. Drury con tinually bucked the Fairmount line, but could do nothing with it, as Fair mount was heavier. The Springfield team attempted the forward pass bu few times, and could not make it work. Andrews of Drury and Thayer of Fair mount were put out of the game for fighting. Steinmetz and Jones took their places. Chicago 29, Minnesota 0. Chicago,' Nov. 2. Minnesota's dread ed football aggregation proved helpless In front of the ligHtning play of Stagg's athletes and Chicago piled up a score of 29 while Minnesota fought vainly to cross the goal of their rivals. The score of 29 to 0 Is identical with that of the first victory of Chicago against Minnesota in 1899. It also is the decid ing game of the tie between the teams as the result of the games of 1906-7, the rivals having failed to clash In the five years preceding 1906. Tale veterans also decided a friendly rivalry when Coach Stagg's machine beat down and overrun the formation prepared by Coach Williams and his assistants, Shevlin and Hefflefinger, all one time stars of the Tale gridiron. Minesota's forward passes were in frequent and usually unsuccessful. The Chicago line withstood the most de termined charges of their opponents and protected by the best interference Chicago has shown In any of its games Steffen and Page tore through the Min nesota field repeatedly for spectacular gains and touchdowns. Only twice did there seem a probability of Minnesota scoring. In the first half a desperate series of rushes brought the ball to Chicago's 2-yard line but the Maroon line held and Steffen secured the baO and punted it out of danger. Harvard 6, Brown 2. Cambridge. Mass.. Nov. 2. Harvard de feated Brown in a sharply contested game at the Stadium. to 2. All the scor ing was done in the second half. In the first half it was almost entirely a kicking game. Beytes. the Brown full back, made several long punts and the Harvard's back could not run back th; punts, for the speedy Brown ends downed them in almost every instance. Harvard kicked off to Brown's 10-yard line in the second half and 8prackiing took the ball to the 25-yard line and punted to the cen ter of the field. Long line plunges were followed by an exchange of punts which ended with the ball on Harvard's 35-yard line Then White and Cutting by line plays and a fake kick carried the ball down the field, until White was pushed over for a touchdown. McKay kicked the goal. Brown scored after Sprackling had punted to Cutting, who fumbled on Har vard's 5-yard line and was thrown over for a safety. Princeton O, West Point 0. West Point. N. T., Nov. 2. Princeton met the Military academy cadets at foot ball here for the first time In two years, and the result was a nothing to nothing tie. In the first half honors were about even but in the second the visitors An Object In View You seldom find a saving family pay ing rent.

Four times they carried the ball to within the ca dets' 5-yard line only to lose it on downs. Once they brought it to the 4-yard line on a first down, but were unable to cross the coveted goal line because of the ca dets' determined defense. Greble twice saved the game for the cadets by tackling Tibbott behind the line. WeBt Point was dangerous only once, in the first half, when bv a series of rushes and fake kicks the ball was put on Princeton's 90-yard line. Dean then tried a drop kick, but the ball went wide.

The very first of these, however, went sailing out of bounds, and Navy was again on the defensive.

5 x CLAD H AMIiTOJ REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR X MAKE YOUR GUESS Some Interesting Election Fig ures of the Past. Popular and Electoral Tote on President Since 1860. HOW KANSAS VOTES. Two Years A?o Hoch Mad Only 2,000 Plurality. Detailed Vote as Cast in Shaw nee County. This is the time -when every citizen of the country has an inalienable right to make his election guess. It is free. Tou can guess as many times as you like. In order that everybody may guess right, and there may be no difference of opinion as to the probable out come, the State Journal herewith prints some guides to good guessers. By studying these figures carefully, thinking accurately,, and using a little superhuman foresight, you can easily arrive at the correct answer to the election puzzle. The first lesson relates to the electoral and popular vote cast for the two leading candidates for president in each presidential campaign from the time of Abraham Lincoln down to date: s 3 T HIS PARTING SHOT Chairman Henderson Martin Replies (o Chairman Dolley. Accuses Him of Adop'.ing Qnes tionable Campaign Methods. Chairman Henderson Martin of the ptate Democratic committee was in Topeka today while Santa Fe train No. 5 waited for 25 minutes during the noon hour. He was shown the statement made by Chairman J. N-. Dolley of the Republican state com mittee where he charges that the Democratic committee worked all day Sunday In sending out reports to the "dry" counties that Botkln is all right and to the wet counties the same kind of a report. "Mr. Dolley has boasted that he has conducted a clean campaign," said Mr. Martin, "and yet this report is without the slightest ground for a foundation. There was not a mem ber of the state central committee at date headquarters Sunday. I spoke at Osage City Saturday night and was not at headquarters in Topeka during Sunday and did not leave my room at the hotel until nearly noon. Mr. Pep perell Is in Concordia where he has been since the later part of last week and J. M. Lewis Is at his home In Kinsley where he has been since Fri day. "There was no one at state Demo cratic headquarters Sunday excepting one of the stenographers, who spent! the day there for the purpose of an swering long distance telephone calls and receiving telegrams. These stor ies which Mr. Dolley Imagine were sent out from Democratic headquart ers are figments of his Imaginations or the result of bad dreams caused by the near approach of election and the prospective results. Mr. Dolley knew that I was not at headquarters and that no work was being done there, or at any rate he could have satisfied himself on this point by calling over the telephone. "The attack on Mr. Botkln is un fair, uncalled for and an injustice which Mr. Dolley has made late in the campaign and could have been made but for the one purpose. The report relative to his position on the prohibi tion question is false, malicious and not in keeping with the "clean" cam paign about which Mr. Dolley has boasted so much during the past few weeks. "State Democratic headquarters has been practically closed since Friday, our work was done on time and we are now awaiting the news of victory. We had no eleventh hour sensations to send out as I am not a believer In that class of campaign material. There was plenty that could have been used it we naa Deuevea in it ana no one knows better than Mr. Dolley that the Democratic committee has conducted a clean campaign when the oppor tunities onerea are considered. "Not one report was sent out from Democratic headquarters Sunday good, bad or otherwise as Mr. Dolley has charged and from a chairman who is conducting a nice, clean" campaign the statement published in the morning paper comes with poor grace, especially as it lacks any of the elements or trut".. "Mr. Dolley has charged in this eleventh hour that statements which have been issued by this committee have been anonymous and false and he knows that there is no truth in the statements which he has made. He says that not a dollar has been re ceived by his committee from any corporation in or out of Kansas. "If this is true why has he not pub lished a list of contributors to the Republican state campaign fund as the Democratic committee has done. Mr. Dolley well knows the reputa tion of Mr. Botkin on the prohibition question and yet at the last hour he has deliberately attacked his record when he knows there is no chance of reply. I have known for the past two weeks that this attack was to be made but did not suppose that Mr. Dolley who is conducting such a 'clean' campaign would sign his name to the document. "All of the denials of the tax con ditions of the state which show that the farmers taxes have been increased while the taxes of the corporations and owners of city property have been reduced will avail him naught for the records are open to all who are In terested in the question. "This late hourattack on Mr. Botkln means that Mr. Dolley knows that he and the Republican party are whipped and that Democracy will triumph at the polls Tuesday, not only in Kansas but In the nation. The vicious and untruth attack on Mr. Botkln will make votes for him on November 3rd. especially where Mr. Botkln and Mr. Dolley are known." HE INTRODUCED BRYAN. SEES LANDSLIDE.

Hughes in the Lilac dairy, four miles west of Topeka on the Topeka avenue road, has filed a complaint on aci unt of the treatment he alleges to have received from Sheriff Wilkerson of Shawnee county, Sunday evening, at the county Jail. Mr. Jones was deputized as game warden in Topeka township and yes terday he spent most of the day watching his farm. Early in the after noon five young hunters of Topeka were caught shooting quail on the Lilac dairy farm. Mr. Jones put them nder arrest at once and wnne taKing them to the house preparatory to re porting to Sheriff Wilkerson in To peka, Mr. Jones neard anotner snot down in the woods below the house. Leaving the five young men in charge of a neignbor. Jones ran quicKiy to the woods and found a colored man armed with a shotgun and attempting to shoot quail. Mr. Jones approached him with the intention of putting him under arrest when the colored hunter Dut the. shotgun to his shoulder pointing it at the game warden told him to stand aside and allow him to continue on his way. Mr. Jones saw the situation and detaining the hunter he motioned for a neighbor who was with him at the time to come up be hind the hunter and capture him in I his way. The negro saw the situation at once and with a Jerk he pulled out a big six shooter and covered the neighbor. He threatened to shoot the two farmers if they moved an inch and realizing their situation they left him and returned to the house. They telephoned to Sherifl Wilkerson at once but could get no help. Then hastilv hitching their horses they came to the city, brlngln- the five prisoners with them, rney arnvea ai me coun ty jail and after having-the hunters booked they told the sheriff their ex perience with the negro hunter who nulled his enna on them. Mr. Jones also made other charges against Wilkerson.. When interviewed on the matter, Jailer Bayless of the county Jail de nied the story told by tne rarmers. Me said: "I did not come in when the farmers arrived at the Jail but later I entered the office of the sheriff and he was talking to the farmers about the matter. He informed them that It would be necessary to get out a war rant for the arrest of the hunter." Mr. Schenck, the county attorney, says that Sheriff Wilkerson and the game warden telephoned to him con cerning a warrant last evening and he said that he would issue one this morning, as It was too late to do any thing in the evening. The five boys arrested were Elmer King, Turner Msnce. Vernon Brooks, AHen Jones and Melan Mitler. Voters Urged to Work and Vote on Election Day. AH law and order, and good govern ment citizens, are most strenuously urged, to give part, or all of their time on election day, Tovember 3, to see ing that every vote that favors a con tinuance of law and order, as faith fully enforced by our present efficient and uncompromising officers, John J. Schenck. countv attorney, and John M. Wilkerson. sheriff, is cast for them. It Is of the highest importance that this be done, as the lawless element and their sympathizers are, and will be vigilant and alert, with slush con tribution from the law violators, to defeat these splendid officials. Eter nal vigilance is the price of righteous ness. S. G. STEWART, Chairman Com mittee 200 E. B. COWGILL. Vice Chairman Committee 200. Attest: SOLOMON G. WALKINS, Secretary.

Julius Chambers ln the Brooklyn Ea gle. HEW LIGHT PLANT. New Tork. Nov. 2. Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican national com mittee, had a long conference over the Ipng distance telephone yesterday with Mr. Taft in Buffalo. It was said at local haedquarters here today that Mr. Hitch cock gave Mr. Taft his assurance that his announced forecast of 325 votes in the elec toral culleee for the Hetublica.n candidate was very conservative. Estimates of the j as made by members of the national com mitteemen for those states- or by state chairmen were made public today by Chairman Hitchcock. Mr. Hitchcoci said that these estimates differed somewhat from those he had already made, especial ly In Minnesota and Illinois. Mr. H.tch cock said that the Republicans expect to carry the ata.te of New VorK by IVj.ojo for Taft and that Hutrhes would not be far behind. Estimates of pluralities for Taft in other states as given out by Hitchcock follow: Indiana. 30.000; Ohio. 75,000: Wisconsin. 100,000; Minnesota. 100.000; Nebraska not less than 110U: Kansas. 3,000; West Vir ginia. 1MWU to aXOOu; New Jersey, 36,500; South Dakota. iO.OuO: Illinois, 150,000; Con necticut. 25.000; Pennsylvania not less t'han .000; California. 3.00); Montana, 2.5J0 to 5.000; New Hampshire. 16.UO0; Ore gon. 20.000: Washington, 30.000; Colorado, 20.000: Rhode Island, 9.0W to 13,000; Maine, 25.000. State Chairman Humphreys of Nevada wired: "The state will be close but we expect to give Taft a plurality of from 1,000 to 2.000." National Committeeman Marshall of Montana wired: "We will carry the state for Taft by 3,000 plurality and may be more." Chairman Hitchcock added that he had received Information trom leaders in Maryland, which warranted him in pre dicting that the Republican plurality in that state would not be less than 3.000. Some leaders asserted, said Chairman Hichlcock. that it would be as high as 6,000. Chairman Dickey of Missouri wired that they expected to carry the state for Taft. It will be close, he said, but they were confident. "From a Republican standpoint." said Herbert Parsons, chairman of the Repub lican county committee, "the situation to day In this city and county is satisfac tory. I make the statement after a study of all the factors in the campaign. It is for the. state committee to proclaim the situation ln the remainder of the state, but taking their estimate with that which we have made In this city I ami fully con fident that Taffs plurality in the state will be satisfactory and I believe that Hughes will follow him so closely that the result will be a surprise." Asked If he believed that Taft and Hughes will carry Oreater New York as was predicted Saturday, Mr. Parsons said: "I think that the Democratic plurality In Greater New Tork will be greatly reduced."

At a recent meting of scientists in Dublin Prof. G. Elliott Smith, the Egyptologist, said that the earliest known human remains found ln the Nile valley, when compared with those of later times, demonstrated the fact that at a very remote period Egypt and Nubia were inhabited by the same race which had persisted in Egypt with lit tle or no change in physical character istics throughout the intervening 6.000 years until the present day. They had been, and still were, a small people, the average height of the men being about 5 feet 8 Inches at every period of their history. Their hair was very dark brown or black, unusually wavy, but not woolly'.' or in any sense negroid; their heads were long and narrow, usually ovoid or penagonold or "coffin-shaped," as the result of a frequent pressure of a proturbed occiput. On the whole they shared, those charterlstics which distinguishes the majority of the peo ples fringing the Mediterranean. Chicago News. A Gltost Club's Test.
