Postmast er Edward W.'Morgan,of; this city,' was shot down In the street as he was leaving his house in 146th street for the postofiice this morning" by y Eric H. Mackey, 'a stenographer em- ' ployed by a down-town law firm, who then shot and killed himself. The single bullet which struck Mr. Morgan entered at the right side of the abdomen and passed out at the left side without penetrating the walls. There is no internal trouble, and there is every likelihood that the wounded man will recover. Mackey left a letter in his room in which he declared his act "The last protest of a poor "man against the custom of never enforcing laws against prominent or wealthy peo ple." It stated that that revenge was the motive that actuated him, that he knew he was not morally justified (Continued on page 6) tionally legislate to prevent co-education of the white and black races. The case was instituted to test the validity of the State law of 1904 pro hibiting white and black children at tending the same schools. The high er State court held that the races were naturaly antagonistic and that forced a separation of the children of the white and black races that is in line with the preservation cf peace: In its opinion the supreme court affirmed the findings in both the Kentucky circuit court and the court of appeals. At midnight last night all those who had been figuring on the pri mary had gone home, and oo one Irnrw iust how the election stood with exactness. The returns show mass of undigested figuf. but out f it all ' few facts stand forth prominently. , Mr. Elmore received the nomina tion for the Mayoralty on the Re publican ticket by a very large vote. Mr, Smuu receiveu nuumii on the Democrat ticket by what ap pears to be s smalil vote. i The vote is somewhat mixed up on the informal returns gathered last night, for the reason that quite s few Democrats voted for Mr. Elmore as the candidate on the Democrat Mrltft. nd also for the additional reason that in one or more 01 , M precincts , the Judges apparently "bunched" the votes for Mr. El more, counting together in one total the votes he received on both the Republican and Democrat pickets. It appeared last night from sur vey of the figures that Mr. Kearney receives the nomination for street superintendent and Mr. Wentjar re ceives the same nomination on the Democrat ticket. Out of 1169 voters registered for the primaries, only about 180 were registered as Democrats, while prac tically all of the remainder were reg istered as Republicans, only s tew registering as independents. Independents could not vote yester day. Hence it was inevitable that the real Democrat vote of yesterday could not exced this 180 votes. One of the surprising things lies in the fact that quite a few Democrats kem votinir on the Republican ticket, The vote for the candidates for the Mayoralty will illustrate how the votinir went. On the Republican ticket Mr. Elmore received about 412 votes, and on the Republican ticket Vfe Smith received about 85 votes. On the Democrat ticket Mr. El more also received votes, though Mr, Smith received more than he, al ways remembering thae the entire Democrat ticket was comparatively small. It was not possible to get the Democrat figures accurately last night. For the street superintendency the contest was keen among "the four Republican candidates. Mr. Kearney received about 222 votes; Mr. Lough ery received about 121; Mr. Sherman received about 80, and Mr. Steffcn sen received about 120. These figures being taken from the face of the re turns. On the Republican ticket for the police commission Mr. Carruthers received 230 votes; Dr. Barr 23, and Mr. Bergman 17, but no one seemed to be able to figure out who got it on the Democrat ticket. The Demo crats still kept voting in their candi dates as Republicans. There was CHICAGO, Nov. 9. An inventive genius has discovered that there is money in a pig's squeal. That, the late P. D. Armour said, was the only thing that went to waste at the stock yards, and it now has a cash value. Millions of dollars worth of squeals have cone to. waste because it was not known what use to make of them. But now that their real value .has been discovered, the public will have to pay for squeals just the aame as it paya for the hams, the loins and other part of ,he American, porker .Last Saturday a , man carrying camera and a machine for making phonograph records, presented him self at the stockyards and asked per mission to take some pictures for use in a 5c theater to illustrate a pic torial slide that is to be entitled "A Day" at the Stockyards." - ..

DENVER, Nov. 9.-Hcarty ap plause was given President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor when the twenty-eighth annual con vention of that body opened today and also at the close of his report which he read at the afternoon ses sion, and is interpreted to indicate that there will be no effective oppo sition to his re-election. "The state ment that there will be a big fight in the convention in regard to the ac tion of Gompers in the recent cam paign will not be fulfilled," said John Mitchell, former president of the (.United Mineworkers of America, and a delegate to the labor conven tion. "The action of Coroners was the Jesuit of instrutc'tons given him by the federation at previous conven tions and he "will have virtually the entire support of the present con vention. "It is true there may be a fight on the question of allowing the federa tion to be brought into politics in the future, But I don't think Campers will be censured for the part he played in 'the -support of Cryan."
