a. plurality of 2060 vote over Wil

TOPEKA. Kan.. Nov. 11. ( Special.)
After frequent discussions of the case
with his advisers and hearing the results
of their Investigations. Governor Hoch
has become convinced that the Standard
Oil 'Company was behind the fight made
on him in the recent campaign, which
resulted in his re-election by a plurality
of less than 3'iort votes as against a plu
rality of tiO.Oful two years ago. He will
consult with Attorney-General-elect F. S.

'i 11. 1. f jiiiw.jj :ri wh le truth,
j ne Governor said today:
Will Uncover the Plotters.
"I do not think the , labors of some of
the strongest Harris supporters were
given gratuitously to the Democrats. One
of these supporters has a reputation of
not giving something for nothing.
"It was a bitter and malicious fight
which was waged on me a fight of the
vilest slander and abuse. The state was
flooded with sample copies of newspapers
containing every fake and falsehood wri
ters employed for the purpose could in
vent "I am In hearty sympathy with any
effort which may result in uncovering the
source of this fight, and every part of
the state machinery available will be.
loaned to the purpose of the investiga
tion. I understand Chairman Crammer is
gathering information on this subject, and
that Mr. Jackson will probe the stories.
I think we will be able to learn something
Interesting In a short time."
Railroads Kaised Funds.
It Is understood that the Governor and
Mr. Crummer have received some very
Interesting information during the few
daya that have intervened since the elec
tion. Many of these reports are vague
rumors, which may or may not have veri
fication, and others are in the nature of
direct Information, the truth of which will
be Investigated before any public state
ment is made. One of these rumors is
that the representative of an Eastern
corporation which watched the affairs of
the Standard closely told a Kansas hotel
keeper six months ago that four of the
largest railroads in Kansas were raising
a fund to- "change the political com
plexion of a newspaper and furnish its
political editor." This story is to be fol
lowed to its source.
Fare Paid Home to Vote.
I. B. Smith, engineer for the Topeka
Bridge A- Iron Company, has furnished a
link in the chain of evidence. He rode
from Wichita to Joplin. Mo., on election
day, and says that hundreds of former
Kansans employed in Indian Territory by
the Standard and allied corporations were
coming north on transportation which
had been furnished them, and that all
of them declared they were coming back
to Kansas to vote for Harris. Mr. Smith's
statement was reported yesterday to Mr.
Crummer by J. A. Cox, of Lawrence,
Kan., and later it was corroborated by
telephone.
A majority of those returning were vot
ing in Montgomery. Neosho and Wilson
Counties. Those are the strong Standard
counties of the state, and the heavy vote
would be concentrated there. In Wilson
the fight of the Standard succeeded in
defeating Dr. Thomas Blakeslee. Repub
lican candidate for Representative.
A defeated and humiliated ex-chairman
of a political committee, opening an office
in another state to assist his enemies, is
an unusual spectacle, and is one more of
the links to the chain of evidence Mr.
Jackson and Mr.' Crummer are collecting.
Hates Enforced Decency.
The motive which is supposed to have
been behind the Standard's fight on Hoch
was the passage by the last legislature
of the anti-discrimination act That law
bas done more to make the Standard be
decent In Kansas than anything that the
Legislature could have put on the statute
books.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11. Abraham S. Gil
bert, the law partner of Attorney-General
Julius Mayer, and counsel of the
majority of the candidates on the Repub
lican state ticket, will apply to Supreme
Court Justice McLean tomorrow-for an
order under which the Supreme Court

Reincarnation Furnishes Theme for
Fantastic New Play.
CHICAGO. Nov. 11 "The Road to Tes
terday," a comedy full of whimsical sur
prises and fantastic charm, was given
its first performance here tonight at the

mythical dream scenes wherein all the
personages of the first act are 6een re

double role.
In the fourth act their modern selves
and lives are resumed, with some roman
tic love episodes mixed with the dream.
The re-incarnation of souls is treated
throughout in a spirit, of fantasy.
Minnie Dupre as the dream heroine;
Madam Neshit and White Whittlesey as
a pair of strangely parted lovers and
Helen Ware as a gypsy shared the chief
honors of the performance, which was re
ceived with marked appreciation by a
large audience.

SAN FRANCISCO.. Nov. II. Before a
number of medical men and scientists
today. Drs. Albert J. Atkins and E. J.
Lewis succeeded in charging an electrical
circuit with human electricity to such a
degree that external sound waves were
transmitted and heard through an ordi
nary telephone receiver. The experiment
consisted of the application of two plat
inum electrodes to the walls of the living
stomach. By means of copper wires the
electrodes were connected with a tele
phone and microphone, a sensitive Instru
ment, which greatly intensifies sound.
Stomach Generates Current.
There was absolutely no mechanical or
chemical battery in the circuit, yet the
moment the electrodes were swallowed
sufficiently to touch the walls of the
stomach, human electricity flowed over
the wires, rendering sounds audible. The
electric charge measured from seven to
eight milli-volts on a Weston galvanom
eter. Colonel E. P. Richardson, the subject
of the experiment, swallowed the elec
trodes and succeeded In retaining them
for a considerable time. After a hrief
rest, he was given a drink of whisky and

Drs. Atkins and Lewis claim that by
this experiment they have demonstrated
the law of action of the human senses.
They reason that, if sound is transmitted
over a copper wire when it is charged
with human electricity, it is reasonable
to consider the principle the same when
the auditory nerve is charged with the
same force. In other words, we hear
when the auditory nerve Is made sensi
tive with human electricity on the same
principle by which we receive a telephone
message.
Furthermore, these scientists claim
that by a series of experiments they have

CHICAGO, Nov. ll.-(SpeciaL) The Milwaukee-Avenue
State Bank was wrecked
this afternoon at the Humboldt Theater,
Milwaukee avenue and Ohio street. It
was the first time the bank has been
wrecked on any stage. The throng which
sought admission to the theater contained
scores of those who were prevented from
storming the looted bank only by a. big
force of police. They wanted to expe
rience again the thrill of losing their
money.
It was the same kind of a mixed gath
ering as that In August Poles, Bohe
mians, Jews, Italians and Scandinavians
and long before the doors opened they
forged up the steep stairway to the box
office and spread out in a fan-shaped
mass in the street below, some carrying
their bankbooks.
Villains in Bad Box.
During the performance the villain of
the play was roundly hissed and hooted,
and after It was over the feeling of the
excitable spectators was such that he
was in danger of being roughly handled.
Most of the crowd, however, took the
play in good part and restrained the
radicals from excesses of any kind.

"And Hering in another." yelled back

banker, "Paul O. Stenslow." in hopeless
ruin, Is credited with being the" repudi

villain and says "Aha" several times.
Rounds of hisses and cries of derision
greeted his every appearance. Sometimes
he was in actual danger. "Paul O. Stens

man gone wrong. His remorse is evi

the principal characters in the play are
near enough like the original to be easily
recognized.
Police Disentangle Crowd.
The piece had been well advertised and
on account of the bitterness of feeling
at the time of the failure of the bank,
whicn was not far from the playhouse.
It was feared that a revival of bitter
memories might inflame the foreigners
and prompt them to mischief The crowd
that thronged the streets strengthened
the apprehension of the police, and extra
men were detailed to keep order. As it
happened, they had little to do except to
disentangle the gathering when disorder
seemed on the point of breaking out.

PITTSBURG. Nov. 11. Henry F Smith.
the 2&-year-old sot) of Joseph Smith, a
wealthy business man, was shot twice.
and almost instantly killed, early this
morning, by a burglar whom he surprised
in the dining-room of his father's resi
dence in the East End.
The crime, following a little more than
a week after the murder of James A. Mc
Millan, another wealthy business man of
this section, together with a number of
hold-ups by highwaymen during the past
fortnight, has aroused the city and a de.
mand for loO additional policemen to sup
press the wave, of crime has been made
by the citizens.
That a desperate battle took place be
tween young Smith and the burglar is evi
dent from the disordered condition of the
dining-room and kitchen. In addition to
the two bullets which entered Smith's
body, five other balls were found lodged
In the woodwork. Three cartridges of
Smith's revolver had been discharged
Neighbors who heard the shots and ran
to their windows say they saw no one
running from the Smith house. Hundreds
of dollars' worth of silver plate had been
gathered together by the burglar.
The entire police and detective forces
are working on the case, but so far no
clew has been discovered.
RACE SUiCIDE INCREASING
French Birth Rate Declines and Pro
geny Prize Is Proposed.
PARIS. Nov. 11. Public attention has
again been drawn to the National peril
involved in the constantly-diminishing
birthrate by the publication of the vita!
statistics for 1305. The births in France
for this year numbered 807.292, showing
a. decrease of 10,937 from the total of
1904.
The reason for this decrease is not to
be found in a reduction of the number
of marriages, in which the statistics
show a slight Increase over 1904. but it
apparently arises from the aversion of
the French people to raising large fam
ilies. The National association which is study
ing this matter nas reached the conclu
sion that it is necessary to inculcate the
Idea that any couple that raises more
than three children merits and is en
titled to public gratitude and protection.

leaders Confident That Fre-Mde-nt's
Coming Message to Congress Will
Contain Jtadical Demands for
Labor What Gompers Says.
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Xov. ll.-S(r..
cial) That the convention of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, which opens in
this city tomorrow morning, will go on
record in favor of an aggressive political
policy seems assured. From ali parts of
the country delegates are bring in re
ports of success at the polls at the ttient'
election. ;
So far these reports show that av least
Ave trade unionists will sit in the next
Congress, while a great number have
been elected to the different state Legis
latures. Most pronounced have been the sucess
of the United Mine Tvorkers and the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union. The
miners in the anthracite distrirt. of Penn
sylvania have elected W. B. 'Wilson and
T. D. Nichols to Congress and -10 of their
members to the state Legislature.
The telegraphers elected three of their
members to Congress in different parts of
the country, including . the Fourth Dis
trict of Illinois. In Hennepin County, in
this state. 31 out of 39 men indorsed' by
labor for the state Legislature and county
officers hare been elected. These tuc
cesses have whened the appetites of the
labor men and it is the general opinion
of the delegates who have arrived here
that the convention will devote at least
twn days to disciissiBK a political pro
gramme Gompers Feels Encouraged.
President Gompers fpels greatly encour
aged over the situation. He says he has
received scores of letters from men out
side of the labor movement In which
they declare that they never before fully
understood what the trade unionists of
the country stood for In a political way.
and expressing sympathy with their aims
and objects.
'It has been the greatest educational
campaign that organized labor has ever
conducted." he said tonight.
"The subject is fully covered In the re
port which I will submit to the convention
tomorrow, but I have no hesitation in say.
ing that the political programme of the
Executive Council will be indorsed by
the convention. It is but the beginning
of organized labor's efforts in the polit
ical arena."
One of the effects of the labor political
programme will be seen in the coming
message of President Roosevelt to Con
gress. According to some labor officials
who have recently talked with the Presi
dent on the subject, the coming message
will contain some of the most radical de
mands for labor that have ever been made
by a President of the United States.
Many Grievances Aired.
Next to the political programme the
delegates are interested in Jurisdictional
disputes. The Executive Council in ses
sion this afternoon reviewed the griev
ances lodged against the United Brewery
Workmen by the engineers, firemen, team
sters and other unions. The council
could not arrive at any decision and de
cided to throw the whole matter Into
the conxention. The steamfitters and
plumbers are lining up their forces Tor
a decisive battle against each other, the
plumbers being determined to have the
charter recently isued to the steamfitters
revoked. The carpenters and woodwork
ers are also preparing for a tight on the
floor of the convention. The United Order
of Boxmakers, with headquarters in Chi
cago, has a representative here to renew
its application for a charter which baa.
for years, been denied it because of the
protests of the woodworkers.
Credentials have already been received
for about 335 delegates and more are ex
pected in the morning. The convention is
expected to last two weeka.
GORED TO DEATH BY DEER
Mystery of Wealthy Kew Torke.r's
Death Explained.
NEW TORK. Nov. 11. It was definitely
established today at Mont Clair. N. J .
that a pet buck deer killed Herbert Brad
ley, a wealthy flour exporter, whose dead
body was found last night on the pre
serves at his home there. Deputy County
Physician Simmons, of Orange, found
that Mr. Bradley's death was due pri
marily to the deer's ripping open an
artery in his hip.
The horns of the buck, the largest one
belonging to Mr. Bradley and his special
pride, were found to be covered with
blood. The animal also attacked him
with its hoofs.
Mr. Bradley returned yesterday from a
business trip to the West, and was told
that a great deal of shooting by hunters
was going on .in woods near his estate.
He started out to see if any hunters had
broken into his grounds, and while he
was investigating the buck, killed him.
