A NOBLE GIFT.

to Plymouth church, Brooklyn, by

country. Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight
Hillis, pastor of the church, in mak
ing the announcement of the gift,
said it was really one to the Ameri

Americans gave a memorial window
to the church at Stratford-on-Avon
and were planning to place a tablet
in Westminster Abbey in memory oi
James Russell Lowell. The window
will be one of a scries representing

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

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

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

La Grande, Oregon, was released
from custody today in bonds of
$40,000 provided by friends and rela

it was given out on what is regard
ed reliable authority that several
conferences have been held by Scrib-

of making good the entire indebted
ness of the ex-banker. It is also ru

arraigned.
Scriber's bail on the first count of
forgery is $15,000 and $25,000 on the
second count on a similar charge, the
principal complainant being the
United States owing to the fact that
the La Grande bank was a national

There Will Bo No Fight in Fechrdicn Convention
' Over tils Action During Rccsr.t C3::"N.
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."
Secretary: Lcnaou's report showed
that the federation to have had a
jvery prosperous year.
