Montreal, Sept. 21 In the province of
Quebec, the fate' of reciprocity between
the United aSlales arid Canada will be
decided today. "While the parliamentary
election Is national, both sides concede
that this province Is the pivotal one.
Not in many years has any election in
Canada attracted so much Interest as
that In progress today, and the -ote
will undoubtedly break all records.
Both sides are confident of victory.
The Liberals declare that as a re
sult of today's battle of the ballots
reciprocity will be ratified by a parlia
mentary majority of at least 85 votes.
The Conservatives are equally certain
that they will obtain more than the 23
eats necessary to defeat the measure.
The campaign of the Conservatives
and opponents of reciprocity has been
of a rlolently anti-American character
and annexation has been described as
the Inevitable sequel of reciprocity. In
many places President Taft has been
alleged to be desirous of rendering his
name Immortal by adding Canada to
the Union during his administration, or
at least by laying the foundation on
which tha structure of annexation may
be reared.

Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 21. In the elec
tions today the Liberals are hopeful,
but they admit that the result Is In
doubt.
Reciprocity has broken down party
lines and the population is so changed
since the last election that It Is diffi
cult accurately to forecast the result.
The administration admits that the
loss of 13 seats in Quebec Is likely, and
should the Tories gain seven other seats,
reciprocity would lose.
There is little probability of change
except in Manitoba, where the Liberals
expect to make gains. Th real fighting
ground Is Quebec and Montreal, and
corruption Is expected, as both sides are
well supplied with funds.
There' Is great bitterness In many
quarters and rioting ts expected. St.

Motive for Administering of
Chloroform to Woman May
Have Been Malicious Poi

(United Pre Lei.ifd Wire.)
Tampa, Fla., Sept. 21. The Shaker
colcvhy near Kisslmmee Is convulsed
with allegations today that Sister Sadie
Marchant's death was not due to Bro
ther Egbert Gillette's administration of
chloroform through motives of charity,
but to a malicious poisoning. Aa a re
sult Gillette today Is In Jail, held with
out ball on a charge of murder.
The prosecution asserts that the story
Gillette told of having chloroformed the
woman to end her alleged sufferings
from tuberculosis has bben upset and
thai It was nothing but a plain case of
murder, the motive of which Is obseurd.
It is declared by the officers that the
autopsy proved that instead of dying
from consumption. Sister .Sadie was
mildly affected with that disease. She
was 35 years old and prepossessing. It
Is reported that the autopsy surgeon
discovered a drug In her intestines1 and
portions of her stomach are being an
alyzed. The prosecution refuse to
discuss the case.
Ooncinc Clear.
Gillette still maintains that he com
mitted no crime In putting the sup
posedly sick woman to death.
"My conscience Is clear," he eald to
day, "and my faith unshaken. My trust
in divine guidance Is as firm as ever. I
have committed no orlme."
Brother Bracken of the Shaker col
ony slrenfithened the state's case by
deserting Gillette and conveying Im
portant Information to the prosecutors.
Bracken described the home life In the
colony which furnished valuable evi
dence against Gillette.
Gillette says the woman' suffering
grew worse. There was only one thing
left to Ju. He talked It over with SWs
ter Sears, and after many prayers for
guidance he bought six ounoes of chlo
roform, and the ufferlng woman
passed quietly away,
In the past 26 or 80 years there

the danger that nevertheless seema to

While the actions of congress and the

doubt that the intent of state and

Chicago, Sept. 21. Judge Peter 8.
Grosscup of the United States circuit
court of appeals today withdrew his
statement that he would resign from
the federal bench Octob'er 3, and pre
pared to force his enemies Into the open.
"I won't Find In my resignation on
Octuher 1," s;iUl Judge GrOHcup this
afternoon. "Instead, I will await the
so-called record of charges against me
which has been collected. It la reported,
by Detective Richie. Then I will make
a defense vindicating myself.
"I have Icurned that a certain publi
cation robbed the office of Marshal
Sumpsell, receiver of the Union Trac
tion company, and stole some of his pa
pers. I am informed that photographic
copies of these papers will be used
against me."
Want Investigation.
Sampsell was formerly Grosscup's pri
vate secretary. The Judge named him
as receiver for the street railway com
pany. "I shall lnvtte the widest investigation
of my personal and private acts," Gross
cup added. "I will make no defense un
til the charges are printed. I den-y that
my reversal of Judge Landls' fine of

Organization of Reserve Asso
ciation of National Banks,
Urged as Safeguard, by
Member of Commission.
That financial panics such as that of
1907 can and will be averted by the or
ganization of a reserve association of
national banks was the emphatic, declar
ation made last night by Honorable Rob
ert W. Bonynge at the Informal business
men's dinner at the Commercial cluh.
Mr. Bonynge is a member of the Na
tional Monetary commission, composed
of nine senators and nine representatives
and has made a very exhaustive study I
of banking system in the United States
and other great natrons of the world.
His addres last evening was a clear
exposition of the deductions that had
been arrived at by the searching Investi
gation carried On by the commission
since organized In 1908.
Mr. Bonynge holds there Is no need
whatever for financial panics, such as
occasionally have heen recorded in this
country, "that they are due altogether to
the faulty banking system of the coun
try as a whole. There being no organ
isation among the banking Institutions,
each one rushes for cover whenever pub
lic confldence-ls shaken and the public
has no source to look to for asslsance,"
he declared.
Cant Blame Banks.
He also pointed out that under such
circumstances the banks could not be
blamed for tightening their purse
strings because each one had to look for
Its own protection and self preservation.
"With the banks properly organized."
he continued, "such flnnnclal flurries of
distrust could never happen. Business
depressions may be felt, and such oc
currences are difficult to prevent, but
I can see no reason for financial panics
with such tremendous wealth In the
country."
The speaker was Introduced by Presi
dent H. M. Hailer of the Chamber of
Commerce, and he ariaressed about 150
prominent business nien and bankers,
every one of whom listened attentively.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Sept. 21. Ris
ing to the defense of his veto of the
wool, free list and the cotton bills. Pres
ident Taft here today delivered what la
regarded as one of the most important
speeches of his western tour. While
some of the president' talk was merely
a resume of the messages of veto, he
made additional suggestions and told in'
a less formal manner Just why he killed
the measures.
A drizzling rain greeted President
Taft and only a few hundred people
lined the streets us his party was
driven to the Country club for break
fast. En route to the club house the
president left the automobile at St.
John's orphan asylum and stood bare
headed in the rain, greeting the nuns.

today. Townsend predicted that Michi

The president talked golf at the

After explaining hi motive In
choosing a tariff board composed of

"The wool bill proposed a revenue
duty of 20 per oent upon raw wool in
stead of 11 cents a pound, a reduction
of considerably . more than 60 per cent
of the present duty, and an average
