Marriage cf Miss Weaver and Mr. Mc- Curdy to Occur November 10. General Ne-ws. C. H. Garvey, a mounted policeman of the Georgetown precinct, is in a precarious con¬ dition In a ward at the Georgetown Uni¬ versity Hospital. He was the victim of a peculiar accident Wednesday. Officer Gar¬ vey fell from his horse while galloping at full speed and was thrown beneath the horse's hoofs. His left leg was crushed and he was badly bruised. Several of the bones of his leg were badly fractured, the most serious one being at the ankle, which wis disjointed. His horse ran up the lane for several hundred yards, and, looking back and seeing the helpless condition of its master, came to where he was lying and with actions which showed intelligence and a devotion almost human stood over his un¬ conscious body and waited until assistance reached him. Officer Garvey was thrown from the ho'se at Grant road and Howard avenue. Word soon reached the station, and an ambu¬ lance conveyed him to the hospital, where he has since been dangerous y ill. B.ood poisoning is feared as a result of the seri¬ ous fracture. Lieut. Harry Schneider ex¬ presses regret over Mr. Garvey's unfortu- nate condition. The litter has made an en¬ viable record since entering the po ice de¬ partment, being detailed at first as a pri¬ vate and later succeeding to the position of mounted ofilcer. For many ye ir.-s he has done duty in the seventh precinct, being stationed at Tenlcytown. Fr or to his con¬ nection with <hc police department he served with distinction in Ttoop D, 1st United States Cavalry. For ra iay years he was an Indian fighter in the far west and won a reputation for his bravery and fear¬ lessness. Heavy Trafnc on Canal. Coal traffic over the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is at its height and the equipment of the company Is being taxed to expedite the handling of the heavy fall and winter sup¬ plies. G. L. Nicholson, general manager, told a reporter for The Star yesterday that the showing made by the company in han¬ dling large shipments was gratifying in the extreme. The coal is loaded on the barges at Cumberland and brought to Georgetown, and is then shipped by water to eastern seaports. The large increase this year In coal shipments is attributed to a great de¬ mand for West Virginia and Pennsylvania coal. It is said that within a year the several hundred mules which are used in towing boats down stream will be displaced by the motor and trolley. Because of the natural fall of the waterway it would not be neces¬ sary to use a pound of coal or even erect a boiler. By installing a water-power sys¬ tem all the power needed could be supplied by Potomac water, and, it is said, thou¬ sands of dollars in revenue might be sued. Turbine wheels set in motion would not only supply power for the canal east of the falls, but even as far back as Harper's Fer¬ ry. The statement is made that a canal- boat could be well equipped with electrical appliance at an expenditure of not over $200. Among the Churches. The congregation of the Evangelical Lu¬ theran Church, 32d and P streets north¬ west, Is debating the selection of a per¬ manent pastor. The pulpit has been sup- plied by various ministers since the de¬ parture of Rev. David B. Floyd, who is now at Sellings Grove, Pa., but no positive steps have been taken for choice of a pastor. A member of the church council stated to a Star reporter yesterday that at a meeting next Thursday evening the question will be presented and some definite line of action agreed upon. There are two or three min¬ isters who have been mentioned and who will probably be voted upon. The Ladies' Aid Society of the West Washington Baptist Church held Its annual meeting in the lecture room of the church recently. Rev. C. p. Stealey, the pistor, met with the society and delivered an ad¬ dress. Reports were received from the vari¬ ous committees. The following officers were elected: President. Mrs. Frank Gregory; vice president, .Miss Margaret Elizabeth Van Denberg; secretary. Miss Mamie ls.-rk- ham; recording secretary. Miss Susie Hay¬ cock; treasurer, MLss Mary Apperson. A series of revival meetings is In prog¬ ress at Dumbarton Avenue Method st Church, In charge of Rev. George A. King, the pistor, who lias preached special ser¬ mons every evening The results of the re¬ vival are rtgarded as most gratifying, ana the meetings, it Is understood, will be con¬ tinued. Rev. W. II. Fisher of Alexandria has been assisting in revival work. A spe¬ cial feature of the series will be ti e ser¬ mon this morning at 11 o'clock by Bishop Goodsell. Rev. Mr. King will deliver the sermon at the evening service, taking for his subject "The Incarnation.'" Special mu¬ sic will be furnished by a selected choir. At the West Washington-Methodist Epis¬ copal Church special services a v also being held every i veiling. Rev. W. II. Raliengee, the pastor of th. church, his been tireless In I.is efforts to instill new life in ev ry de¬ partment of church work an I to increase the membership. Many converts are report¬ ed and much interest Is be.ng manifested throughout the meetings. WOMAN KNOCKED DOWN.. Accident Alleged to Be Caused by Reckless Operator of Automobile.

The automobile. No. 1324 D. C., was driven by a colored man and contained two passengers, both colored, one of whom jumped out and ran away. The driver wheeled his car and dis¬ appeared at a rapid rate up 14th street, not, however, before the number of his car was taken.

It struck the woman with such force that the car swerved from its course. Those who ran to the assistance of the worn in expected to find a corpse, but she regained conscious¬ ness in a few minutes and was conveyed to th'- Emergency Hospital in the ambulance, which was promptly summoned.

After ft brief season of exciting develop¬ ment the smallpox situation quieted down perceptibly last evening and the health au¬ thorities hope 110 more cases wtH result from the exposure of so many clerks, police¬ men and other attaches of the District gov¬ ernment to possible infection from the Van der Las brothers. According to a late report last night from the smallpox hospital. David E. Van der Las. the surviving brother, and his baby son. David E., Jr., were resting comfort¬ ably, both apparently out of danger. The father, it is thought, will be so far re- covered that he can be discharged from quarantine in the very near future. The funeral of Harry B. Van der Las, victim of contagion Innocently spead by his brother, took place yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Van der Las, the widow, who is confined to the quarantine station, and Mrs. David Van der l^s, who is un¬ do- quarantine in her home, have developed no signs of possible infection. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Golden Wedding Day of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Willard. Invitations are out for the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Wil¬ lard. The celebration will take place at their home, 1333 K street northwest, No¬ vember <>, and will include a tea from 4 to 7 o'clock p.m. This venerable and still hale and hearty couple were happily married in 1855 at the home of Mrs. Wlllard's grandfather, at Westminster, Vt. The grandfather was Willia-m C. Bradley, for many years a mem¬ ber of Congress and among the most dis¬ tinguished lawyers in Vermont. The home of the couple for the past fifty years has been in Washington, and they are living now in the same block in which was their residence when they first came to this city. Mr. Willard was proprietor of the famous Willard Hotel for many years after re¬ building and greatly improving the hostel¬ ry, which has been the temporary home of so many men prominent in the affairs of the nation. Much of the upbuilding of the city of Washington and its consequent present prosperity is due to the untiring efforts of such sterling pioneer citizens as Mr. Henry A. Willard. The venerable couple, for whom joyous- golden wedding bells will so soon sound, have received from their friend and well wisher. Senator Redfield Proctor of Ver¬ mont, a letter of earnest congratulation. Mrs. Willard was before her marriage, fifty years ago. Miss Sarah Bradley Kel¬ logg, daughter of Judge Kellogg, a noted jurist of Windom county, Vt. MISSOTJRIANS MEET. Program Includes an Address by Rep¬ resentative James T. Lloyd. The first monthly meeting of the Missouri Society for this season was held last even¬ ing In Pythian Temple, 1012 !)th street northwest. After a piano solo by the Misses Dill and a mandolin solo by W. T. Holt, Representatives James T. Lloyd or the first Missouri district made an address. Mr. Lloyd spoke at length of the prepara¬ tions which our forefathers made for the present generation, and of the glorious heritage they left. "The government which they prepared is one of the best on the face of the earth," said Mr. Lloyd. "The officials of the gov¬ ernment should recognize that their con¬ duct in office should be of the highest order. They should be patriotic. The country's work, if properly done, brings prosperity to the whole people. The high standard as maintained by the government has its cen¬ tralization in the fact that the home is the center of the heart throb of the citizen. "The world looks on with wonder at the achievements of this republic. The man in civil lite has accomplished as much as the man of the army. What would Grant have done without a Lincoln? What would Washington have done without a Hamilton? "Think of what happened in Missouri last fall. President Roosevelt and Gov. Folk got the same vote. Some people have said in the past that Missouri was a robber state, a haven for robbers, and that one could hardly find a lawablding citizen in the state. But all that is changed. "What is likely to happen in Ohio? Poli¬ tics is getting to be mighty uncertain. The majority of the republicans in Pennsylvania is so great that it cannot be counted. Re¬ form should succeed, and it is said that President Roosevelt is in sympathy with the reform movement in Philadelphia. "In New York Hearst is a candidate for the mayoralty. We see the spectacle or the former candidate for the presidency In open opposition to his party. And then, most marvelous of all, William Travers Je¬ rome, discarded by both of the leading par¬ ties, is admitted to be a winner by those who are in a position to know the probable result of the New York election. The de¬ termination of the people that none but honest men be put in office is apparent. "Look back to Missouri leading the fight for reform and the enforcement of the law. Graft is the trouble today. Graft in busi¬ ness and in public life. The man who has stood out for the right is the man who Is found in the limelight. We stand in Mis¬ souri as democrats and republicans for the enforcement of the law at all times. I am looking to the time of honest men In public life. You who are in the service of the gov¬ ernment should one and all deal in your relations with the government along the highest ideals. You should not work for the monthly allowance, but the higher de¬ velopment of the government for which your labors are expended. "Missouri Is looking toward you. I am hopeful that this organization will have much success. Think of your home state, which is surpassed by none. Learn of its honesty and purity and tell the world more of It." Upon the conclusion of Mr. Lloyd's re¬ marks the Mauser Vocal Quartet, consist¬ ing of Messrs. E. L. and F. A. Hutchinson, J. A. Trunnell and A. W. Lyles, sang sev¬ eral solos. They v.ere accompanied by Mr. C M. Ricketts. After Miss McCarthy had given a recitation and Prof. W. T. Holt had played a mandolin solo the meeting ad¬ journed. The president of the society is W. C. Deane and the secretary II. J. Phelps. The committee having charge of the arrange¬ ments for sc. uring the speakers consisted of Major J. T. Clements, chairman; Major Richard Sylvester. Messrs. Charles W At¬ kinson. James W. Witten and Jewel K Aubere. Knife Wcund in His Leg. An altercation occurred In the Chines® restaurant at 3201 M street. Georgetown, last night about II o'clock between William f hom.is and John W atson, both colored, during which Thomas received a knife wound in his right leg. The affair crcated some excitement in the restaurant and sev¬ eral of the patrons left the place in a hurry Thomas was taken to the Georgetown Uni¬ versity Hospital. Watson was arrested for alleged assault. Among the Odd Fellows. Columbia Lodge, No. 10, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, held a largely at¬ tended meeting Thursday night at I. O. O. F. Hall, on 7th street. First and second degree work was performed with several candidates, and a large delegation of Cov¬ enant Lodge of Georgetown was preso**. Next Thursday evening, at I. O. O. F. Hall, the degiee team of Columbia Lodge will give a social, to which all Odd Fel¬ lows and their families have been Invited Thursday evening, November 0. the degree team of Columbia Lodge, which won the prize at Philadelphia, will confer the third degree in the big hall. All Odd Fellows in the District are expected to be present. The visitation of t'he grand officers will occur early In December. EXCURSIONS. With the "two protecting arms" of "Un¬ cle Sam's" service continually represented at Old Point Comfort, life at this popular place presents a more or less brilliant pag¬ eant at all seasons. The hotel accommoda¬ tions are not excelled anywhere, and the opportunities for recreation are many and varied. The Chamberlain maintains among other means-of recreation for its guests a large and well-stocked game pre¬ serve. For the student of history the neigh¬ borhood presents a particularly attractive field. Steamers of the Norfolk and Wash¬ ington Steamboat Co. maintuln dally service between the capital. Norfolk and Fortress Monroe, sailing each evening at 0:30. They make daily connections at Norfolk with steamers for New York and Boston, and rail connections for all points south and west.

Pa., Octoher 28..The per¬ sistent report that Mrs. Cunliffe, the wife of Kdward G. Cunliffe, the Adams express robber, had In her possession $5,oOO of the $101,000 stolen by her husband on October 9 was confirmed today, when Supt. H. J. Bidderman of the Pinkerton detective agency went to the Cunliffe home, No. 314 I.-orenz street. West End, this city, and in the lining of a baby carriage found a pack¬ age containing $5,<KI0. On the nignt Cunliffe was brought here from Bridgeport. Conn., where he was cap¬ tured, he made a written confession to the authorities that he had given his wife $.">,000. Mrs. Cunliffe, who in the mean¬ time had moved to her father's home at Hartford. Conn., denied that she had the money, notwithstanding that she was shown the written confession made by her husb.ind. She was repeatedly questioned, however, and today admitted to the detect¬ ives at Hartford. Conn., where the money could fce found The authorities say there now remains about $(>.000 which has not been accounted HARTFORD, Conn., October 23..Mrs. Cunliffe tonight nuide the following state¬ ment : "I emphatically deny th-.it as a result of any contession made by me $T..<)<K> of the money stolen by my husband was found in- a baby carri.tge in our home at Pittsburg. If the money was found as stated by Robert A. Pinkerton it was because of dis¬ closures made by my husband. I main¬ tained throughput the ord> :il to which I was subjected by the detectives that I had none of [he stolen money nor had I hidden any. The alli gation of Robert A. Pinkerton regarding a confession made by me is ab¬ solutely false." BELIEVES GOMEZ A PAURIOT. President of Cuban Senate Interviewed in New York. NEW YORK, October 28..Col. Manuel Sanguily, president of the Cuban senate, ar¬ rived today from a visit to France and Spain. He declared that he l.new nothing... of Gen. Gomez's coming to this country and that he would not believe he came here to seek Intervention until Gen. Gomez told him that was his mission. "I believe Gin. Gomez is a patriot," he said, "and no patriot will ask for inter¬ vention. Placing myself in Gen. Gomez's position, if, as he says, the government closes all doors to me, and my party has no chance, I would seek a legal remedy." Col. Sanguily said tiie propose! English treaty with Cuba had been exaggerated and that there was nothing to which the United States could object. Col. Sanguily will remain in this city several weeks, and expects to meet Gen. Gomez here. Col. Sanguily tonight said: j "I have been away from Cuba for six niontlvs or so .and I really don't know what are the provisions of the Anglo-Cuban tieaty; therefore, how can I siy how I will vote? When I get back I will, of course, familiarize myself with the provisions of the bill, and it will be discussed. In any event I will not vote on the matter at all unit ss the Cuban senate vote results .n a tie. The senate does not sit until Novem¬ ber 1, and I will not get back there for three weeks yet. "Cuba owes a debt of gratitude to the 1'nlted States. She has not forgotten that debt: neither have I. My duty is to my country, and her interests shall be mine and shall only influence my d 'sion, In case I shall be cilled upon to give it." Gen. Gomez called on Col. Sanguily to¬ night. HEPBURN ON THE TARIFF. Says There Will Be No Revision at Coming Session. Sp«'i'Ul Dispatch to Til? Star. DES MOINES. Iowa, October 2S.In an authorized interview here today Represen¬ tative Peter II. Hepburn of the eighth dis¬ trict declared that there would be no taritT revision at the coming session. "I am satisfied," said he, "that the people of this country do not believe there would be'my measure of advantage in suggested tariff changes which would compensate for the disturbance to business that would cer¬ tainly result from the effort to make the change. "The .country Is w< nderfully prosperous. The foreign trade is constantly Increasing. The exports of last year are $70,COO,<00 more thun those of the year before. The balance between the exports and Imports In our favor is still increasing, and the ma- polity of the people, I believe, prefer to enjoy the conditions we have rather than fly to the uncertainties attendant upon a general overhauling of tariff schedules. ' When asked if he favored a reduction ot the tariff on Philippine products. Colonel Hepburn replied that while he was not dis¬ posed to commit himself upon the issue in advance of the meeting of Congress, he nevertheless declared that he was satisfied that even with the tariff on Philippine prod, ucts totally obliterated they would find markets in countries nearer to them, and that for years to come not a pound of Phil¬ ippine sugar or tobacco would land upon American shores. TYPHOID FEVER SITUATION. Analysis of Conditions From an Offi¬ cial Standpoint. Typhoid fever gained and lost during the past week.gained In number of cases re¬ ported as compared with the corresponding periods ending October 11 and October 21, and lost because more patients recovered than were stricken with the disease. In brief rummary the record of the week included thirty-six new cases reported, fifty- one patients recovered and eight deaths. The number still under treatment last night totaled 171*. Altogether since July 1 there have been S05) persons stricken with typhoid fever. It was stated exclusively In The Star a week ago In a story recalling statements made early in the outbreak by Health Offi¬ cer W'oodward that typhoid fever should show a decrease of fully StO per cent three weeks after the entire water supply was furnished from the filtration plant. Filtra¬ tion of the total supply. 71.000,000 gallons daily, was begun on October !>, and the period of three weeks accordingly was ended Thursday. October 26. The reduc¬ tion in number of cases has not yet become manifest, and it is now stated In the ab¬ sence of Dr. Woodward from the city that the full benefit of purification of the water will not be felt until next spring. Tenta¬ tive explanation of the continued prevalence of the disease Is made on the score that the cases now coming in developed during previous weeks and were not reported until the physicians in charge were sure of the diagnosis. Only two of the patients added to the list last week were from outside the Jurisdiction of the District. Hamilton, 21; Trinity, 17. CLINTON, N. V., October 23..Hamilton defeated Trinity at foot ball this afternoon by a score of 21 to 17. Both teams were excellent on offense and weak on defense, with Hamilton a little stronger. There was clean play throughout. Hamilton rushed Trinity off her feet In the first half, and Trinity went through the opponent's tackles in the second. RECORD OF SIX DAYS 42,140 VOTES ALREADY CAST IK STAB CONTEST. Many Schools That Are Working for Collections Slow in Sending in Ballots. Twenty-nine buildings have entered The Star's school competition up to date. After only six days such Is the enthusiasm that a total of 42,140 votes h ive been cast. Already buildings of all classes have been entered, those of the second and third classcs being most numerous. The total list is as follows: Gales, Force, Edmonds, Western High. Blake, Garnet, Emery, Har¬ rison, Morse, Franklin, Eckington, Brook- land, Phelps, Jackson, Wheatiey. Langilon, Smallwood, Polk, Congress Heights, Grant, Hayes, Henry, Twining, Addison. Taylor, Towers, Berre, G.ige, Johnson, Fillmore, Wallach, Buchanan, Brightwood. Stevens, Webb, Monroe, Tikoma, Toner, Peabody. In looking over the votes to find the school standing it is found that but one vote has been sont In for the first class.high schools, manual trainingschools and normal schools. The fact might be startling were it not known from the visits of teachers to the director in room UK), Star building, and the many pleasant visits of tiie director to the various high schools, that many are working with vim to obtain the two collec¬ tions allotted to the class. From some of the grade buildings also where meetings with the supervisors and teachers have been held, and where the greatest activity in preparing votes has been observed, in some cases no vote? and in one case only five have been submitted. The thirty-nine buildings entered do not therefo.-e represent all that are working, and the director has expressed herself as trusting that all schools will realize how much the clerical work will be facilitated if dally returns are made. Daily Record. The record of votes cast is as follows: October 23, 305; October 24, .'',47; October 2r>, 5,089; October 20, 4,977; October 27, 15,800; October 28, 14,722; the total for the first six days being 42,140. These votes are divided as follows: High School and others of the first class, 1; twelve-room buildings, second class, 20,792; buildings less than twelve rooms, third class, 21,.'147. It will be seen that the smaller the school the greater is the apparent enthusiasm and effort. Schools which have reported for the first time yesterday are the Wallach, Buchanan, Brightwood, Stevens, Webb, Monroe, Ta- koaia, Toner and Peabody. The Saturdays at home prove popular to the teachers, a steady stream of whom visited room 100 throughout the day. In many of the schools the pictures al¬ ready published from the casts, the Min¬ erva, the Venus and the Amazon, have been used for class exercises. Ail students have been required to obtain as much in¬ formation as possible about the three statues j'nd the personages tiny represent. In the lower grades the pupils by using "Old Greek Stories" and "Stepping Stones to Literature." books' furnished l.y the classes, have had the stories simplified to their understanding. A Specimen Composition. A specimen composition at the Wallach school on the Venus of Milo represents the information with which the average eighth- grade student begins his study of my¬ thology. "Venus in Roman mythology, or Aphro¬ dite in Greek iro'tnology is said to have sprung from the foam of the sea and to have first landed at Cythera, now Cerigo, an island south of Greece, henceforth sa¬ cred to her. Among the Greeks Aphro¬ dite was one of the Olympian divinities, and was worshiped by them as the goddess of beauty and love. Site was the personifi¬ cation of the creative and productive forces of nature. She was married -tq Vuiean or Hephaestus, and the planet Vefius and the month of April were saere to her "The original statue of Venus de Milo. or Venus of Melos, so called from having been found in 1?20 on the Island of Melos or Milo. an island at the entrance of the Grecian archipelago, is now one of the most celebrated treasures of the Louvre in Paris. Its date is assumed to be between the time of two great Greek sculptors, Phidias and Praxiteles, or about 400 B. C. She is represented not merely as a beauti¬ ful woman, but as a goddess of powerful and majestic form, yet instinct with all the charm of youth and beauty. The arms are broken off, and their original position is much disputed." DONATION DAY OBSERVED. Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hos¬ pital Given Start on Year's Work. Yesterday was donation day at the Epis¬ copal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and the lady managers of the institution were busy all day receiving gifts. Contributions of all sorts continued to come in till late at night, and to these are to be added the donations from "Hospital Sunday," as to¬ day is known. It was not possible to state the full amount received yesterday, but the cash donations last year amounted to a little over $18,300, and it was believed that this year they would be somewhat greater. The donations of provisions filled a large room in the basement and included almost every variety of preserved, canned, desic¬ cated and bottled eatables on the market. Much of this was from dealers in Wash¬ ington to whom appeals had been made. But there were many private contributions. Some of these were of tiny amounts, but none the less valued, as they in many cases represented a few pennies invested in soap, a package of crackers or a can of vegetables from some grateful dispensary patient. The managers of the hospital wore well satisfied with the day's work and said that they wanted through The Star to thank every one who had contributed. This ac¬ knowledgment was in addition to a writ¬ ten receipt that was mailed immediately to each donor. One of the board, in speaking of the work o£ the hospital, said: "The name Episcopal Hospital may be misleading. It is true that the management Is sectarian, but its work is by no means so. Taking the cases by denominations, last year the Baptists and Methodists both outnumbered the Episco¬ palians, while the Catholics were a close fourth. The total cases treated last year were 3,733 and there have been 17,900 cases treated and operated on since the institu¬ tion opened. "We need all the money and other con¬ tributions we can get to keep up the work. It grows steadily each year, and as we are the only hospital in the city that does not receive government aid we have to work under a considerable handicap. But we feel that we aTe doing a much needed work and we want to warmly tliank every one who has helped us In It no matter how small the help has been." PHILADELPHIA REPUBLICANS. Regular Organization Closed Its Cam¬ paign With Red Eire. PHILADELPHIA, October 28..The reg¬ ular republican organization practically closed its campaign tonight with a street parade, in which the leaders estimate 40.0>J men participated. Meetings will be held during the time Intervening until election, but there will be no further public dem¬ onstrations similar to that of tonight. Every ward in the city was represented in the procession, and in nearly every cas3 the delegation was headed by the ward leader. All of the organization republican clubs were also in line. The route of the parade was ablaze with red Are, and at the republican club houses along the line there were elaborate il.s- plays of fireworks. Thousands of specta¬ tors watched the parade and aided in the enthusiasm. Mutiny Story Unfounded. ODESSA, October 28..The report that a mutiny had occurred on board the Russian battleship Catherine II is incorrect. The Catherine II has arrived here. The Black sea fleet arrived off the coast of Asia Minor Friday and proceeded to Trebixoate. SHAW AT YOUNGSTOWN MADE SECOND OF HZ8 OHIO CAM¬ PAIGN SPEECHES. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio. October 28. -Sec¬ retary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw made the second of his Ohio campaign speeches here tonight and was enthusiastically greet¬ ed hy ft large crowd. He arrived at 7 o'clock and was met at the train by a large re¬ ception committee, who escorted him to the Tod House, where an Informal reception was he'd previous to the meeting. The meeting was held in Excelsior Hall and hero the secretary was listened to hy on attentive assemblage. His speech w.is de¬ voted almost entirely to national issues. He spoke as follows: Mr. Shaw's Address. "The opposition always Insists thnt we must Invite importations if we wish to in¬ crease our exportation*. They urge that if wc will place the tariff of some artic>es sufficiently low to insure an influx of for¬ eign goods, the doors of trade wi'l auto¬ matically open to us and we will hjve an abundant outlet. I do not understand their logic, though I have heard it from the d.i>s of my childhood. . , I have examined the record and I nna nothing therein to Justify the claim. Never in recent years his there been a period <>t low tariff that has not resulted in lean im¬ portations, nor a period of high tariff that has not resulted in large importations. 1 his seems paradoxical, and yet it is logical. When our people are prosperous, as tli«'> always are under protection, they buy ev¬ erything ill sight and send abroad for more When they are suffering from the effects of a tariff for revenue only they are unable to consume, and therefore import litt.e. "The logic is easily stated and ought to be easily understood. Whenever the Ameri¬ can people buy their woolen goods, the.r iron and steel manufactures and their ar¬ ticles of common everyday consumption abroad. American producers of these arti¬ cles are necessarily out of employment and our consumptive capacity is reduced to the minimum. The Proof Furnished. "I expect to be called to account for these utterances and must, therefore, furnish the proof. The Wilson-Gorman bill went into effect July 1, 1K04. As soon as It was known that we were to have a lower tariff law, and especially as soon as it was enacted, importations under the McKinley act fell off materially. Nothing was imported that could be deferred. Importers refused to make purchases for delivery prior to the date when the lower tariff went into effect. "Again, after theDingley law was enacted, the rate of duly being on the average some¬ what higher, merchants imported all they could pay before the higher rate went into effect. The record, therefore, of the years Immediately preceding and immediately following a change in tariff rates is m.s- leading There is always a great flood of importations immediately following a low rate, usually enough to paralyze our In¬ dustries, but thereafter importations fal. off for our people are no longer able to buy. Importations Under McKinley Act. "Prospering as we did und'r the McKin¬ ley act, we imported, during the fiscal year 1SS2, $12.50 per capita, exported $15.01 per capita, and consumed, within a very- small fraction, six bushels of wheat per capita. Two years later we imported *3 less per capita, exported $2 .75 less per cap¬ ita. and const!med two bushels and a half less wheat per capita, while the average price of live stock sold in Chicago suffered an average loss of $8.70 on every horse, cow, steer, ca',f, sheep and pig. "In 18SI2, the year the people became so dissatisfied that they voted republican pro¬ tection a fraud and a robbery, tlie average price of live slock sold In Chicago was $25.70 per head, but only two years later the average was only $l<>. a loss of 35 per cent. Under these conditions we have neither money nor appetite for foreign goods." Secretary Shaw left "Washington shortly after the meeting dispersed. He will speak at Columbus November 2. FAIP., COLDER SUNDAY. Monday Fair, Light to Fresh Northerly Winds. Forecast for Sunday and Monday. For the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, fair, colder Sunday. Monday fair; light to fresh northerly winds. Weather conditions and general forecast. High pressure covers tiie entire country, except the southern districts west of the Rocky mountains. Over the northern hair of the country the high area is of great magnitude, and It also extends through Canada. Low temperatures therefore pre¬ vail and in the Interior of the country they range from T> to 25 degrees below the sea¬ sonal average, with freezing temperature tonight in southern Kansas. There have been local snows and rains in the lake region, and snows in South Da¬ kota. Kansas, western Nebraska and the eastern portions of Colorado and Wyoming. There was no other precipitation of conse¬ quence. ,, ,. There are as yet no evidences of rap.a decrease of the high pressure area now cov¬ ering the country, and cool weather will therefore continue for the next few days. It will he cooler Sunday In the Ohio valley and the lower lake region and the greater portion of the Atlantic states. The weather will also be mostly fair, al¬ though local snows are probable Sunday in Kansas and western Nebraska, and rains or snows In Oklahoma, southwestern Mis¬ souri and western Arkansas. The winds along the New England coast will he light to fresh west to northwest: on the middle Atlantic coast light to fre.^h northwesterly; on the south Atlantic coast fresh to brisk northerly; on the east gulf coast light to fresh northeast to east; on the west gulf coast fresh easterly; on the lower lakes fresh northwest to north, and on the upper lakes light to fresh northwest to north.

Feeling Strong Against Herrick in ths Rural Districts.The Anti- Saloon Influence. Spwltl Corrripondonoc Tli* Star. COU'MHl'8, Ohio, October 2". 1W. It lias been sixteen yetr» since a demo¬ crat was Hooted to a state office in Ohto. and the average republican plurality In the list live years has exceeded ino.titm. The Roosevelt electoral ticket last year was given a plurality exceeding 25Ti,titi*> For the reason that many election precincts have been changed since the election of liwKt. comparisons with the vote of that year. In estimating the result from election returns on the night of the election, cannot Im made, and last ye ir's vote must b«' used. On that basis Gov. llerrick. the republican candidate for governor, would have to lose 57 votes per precinct throughout the state to fall of election. Such a result sterns wholly Improbable on first contemplation. The same conclusion would have been reached last year, how¬ ever. If any one had suggested that Presi¬ dent Roosevelt might carry Ohio by over 2.VI.OOO. It would have been Instantly dis¬ missed as Impossible. llut It happened. The present Mate campaign Is a very peculiar one. The situation Is new to Ohio politics. When indulging In speculation here as to the result of the state election It is not considered necessary to state that it concerns only the election of govrnor. Everybody concedes that tlx- republicans will elect the rest of their ticket by safe pluralities. Bossism the Issue. It Is true that bossism is a chief Issue of the campaign, and that not only the demo¬ crats but many republicans nfe declaring that George B. Cox. the Cincinnati boss, dictated all the nominations made by tho republican state convention, but Gov. Her¬ rick is the only candidate nominated by it against whom there was any considerable opposition in the party. This sentiment will probably show also in the election re;urns in a reduced vote for Wade 11. Kills, attorney general, and can¬ didate for re-election, for the reason that he is a Cincinnati man and was proposed for the office of attorney general first by George It. Cox; but Ellis Is in no danger. Tiie judgment of the gamblers seems to be that Gov. Herrick will he re-elected. The even betting 111 all the large cities seems to rut. around oO.otM plurality for llerrick. If odds are given, bets on a still higher plurality can be secured. George B. Cox himself Is betting that Gov. Herrick will have 30.000 plurality In the state, and that .",0.000 of it will be given by Hamilton coun¬ ty alone. It is possible that much of the Inspiration for these bets by the starting fraternity Is gathered about the saloons, where the sentiment is almost unanimously for Gov. Herrick. Fought by Anti-Saloon League. The fact that he Is being fought by the Anti-saloon league would In Itself be suf¬ ficient cause for support to him from this source. In such circles, however, one Is not likely to catch the force and slgnlfl- cance of the opposition to Gov. Herrick that everywhere pervades business and Indus¬ trial circles and the agricultural districts. So strong and so general Is the feeling against the governor In the rural districts that It seems certain that whatever plural¬ ity he may secure must come from the large cities. The Akron speech by Secretary Taft and its effect on the campaign continues to be the main topic of political discussion, and will, no doubt, to the end of the campaign. TI.e Secretary evld< ntly believed that his reference to George B. Cox. bossism and Gov. Herrick would help the governor, in that lie admitted Cox's bossism In Cincin¬ nati, but excluded the governor from all connection with It; but. In view of the fact that It is known of all men that the grow¬ ing opposition to the nomination of the governor for a second term was n pped in the bud by Cox's espousal of his ciuse. the speech will rather serve as a reminder to the people of the large part Cox played In the republican state convention this year, and. in fact, /f the large and growing fac¬ tor lie has become in the republican poli¬ tics of the state. Fears Over Taft's Speech. hi Hamilton county, too. Its bid effects are feared by the republicans. No doubt Gei rge B. Cox will work Just as hard to roll up a big republican plurality there as he would have if Secretary Taft had not made an attack upon him In a public speech, but there must he In Cincinnati a great many high-minded republicans who,' though they have been voting in support of the Cox organization for years, because of their helplessness to change matters, have felt about It much as Secretary Tuft does, and will probably be shaken off by this declaration of the Secretary from the support of the Cox nominees now. It Is certain at least that they have It direct from high authority In the party. If not from President Roosevelt himself.as many In Ohio profess to believe. that it Is not treason to the party for a repub¬ lican to bolt a ticket that Is handed down to the voters by a boss. The notion that prevails quite generally In Ohio that the tentiments as to bossism that Secretary Taft expressed were really those of the President may also lose votes for the republican state ticket, for President Roosevelt is most popular with the rank and file of Ohio republicans.and. indeed, with men of all parties, as his rote last year ind'eates. Bossism Not a New Thing. It Is true that bossism is not a new thing 111 Ohio politics. What was don" this year has been done time and again here But the people have 1 een growing restless un¬ der it, and Just now no semblance of a na¬ tional Is-iUc is at stake to cause them to hesitate to scratch their tickets. Nor in- it been confined to the republican organization. Limited to the opportunities of a minority party. Tom I,. Johnson has repeated;V played the boss more complete.y than George «'ox ever did, but necessarl y less successfully. ., Put it happens that this year the Oh.o dimocrats have asserted themselves, took chargi of their own convent on, threw both Johnson and Bernard out and nominated a candidate for governor who did not get a s'ugle vote In the convention from the large cities.the fields of the bosses. This is why the ticket presented by the Ohio democrats this year seems so aliurlng to the better element of the republicans^ MURDER AND SUICIDE. Philadelphia Man Shot Wife, Then Killed Himself. PHILADELPHIA, October 28. . Albert Hummuerle. aged twenty-nine years, to¬ night shot his wife, Alice, aged twenty-one years, and then turned the weapon upon himself, ending his life. The pair were married last January, but lived unhappily, and Mrs. Hummuerle returned to her parents' home. Tonight she met her husband on the street, and they sat upon a doorstep and spent some time In conversation. As Mrs. Hummuerle arose to leave her husb£?id he drew a revolver and shot her. She died later at a hospital. Hummuerle boarded a street car. and finding that he was pursued he stood on the front platform and shot himself In the head, dying Instant¬ ly- Bargains in Ladies' Suits.
