NEW YORK IS REPUBLICAN.
Assembly Changes Tone, Leaving
Governor Without Support.
New York From a Democratic ma
jority of 24, the New York state as
sembly has turned overwhelmingly
Republican.
All indications, point to the Republi
cans in the lower chamber having a
majority of 24. Thus the majorities
in both houses, which existed during
the first half of Governor John A.
Dix's administration, will be lacking
next year. The present senate holds
over.
" In the unexpected landslide the
Democrats were able to capture only
three seats held by the Republicans,
whereas nil over the commonwealth,
Democratic assemblymen fell by the
wayside.
In one instance Sohnectady Her
bert K. Morrill, a Socialist, won,
where a Democrat had held the seat.
In Greater New York the Republi
cans defeated nine Democrats, while
in Kings county an equal number of
Democratic candidates met defeat.
At Auburn Thomas S. Osborne, one
of the organizers of the Democratic
league, was defeated for mayor by
Thomas H. O'Neill, Republican.
Ten vacancies on the State Supreme
bench were filled by elections in four
judicial districts. Six seats will
probaby go to the Republicans and
four to the Democrats.

EVER MADE.
Johnson Man Wins by 18,000.
Cleveland Cleveland, which two
years ago went Republican, electing
Herman C. Baehr mayor over Tom L.
Johnson, has returned to the Demo
cratic fold, electing Newton D. Baker,
Johnson's political heir, mayor over
Frank Hogan, Republican, by about
18,000 plurality.
The entire Democratic city ticket
was elected with the exception of five
councilmen.
Newton D. Baker, the new mayor,
was city solicitor during the entire
eight years of the Johnson regime, and
was a victor two years ago when the
rest of the Democratic ticket was de
feated. He favors woman suffrage
and in his campaign declared for a
municipal lighting plant, municipal
betterment generally and all the is
sues for which Johnson stood.

OCEAN TO OCEAN
FLIGHT IS ENDED
Aviator Rodgers Lands at Pas
adena Safe and Sound.
Almost Mobbed by Enthusiastic Spsc-
tators Declares Mechanism Must ;
Be Revolutionized,
Massachusetts Vote Close.
Boston On the face of complete re
turns from 1,071 election districts in
Massachusetts the Democrats won the
state election Tuesday and kept Mas
sachusetts in the party column by con
tinuing Goveronr Fosa in office for a
second term. The returns gave Foss,
Democrat, 210,622; Frothingham, Re
publican, 202,883. 'Foss' plurality,
7,734.-".-' . ' f - -tV,:,.
Last year the same districts gave
Foss, Democrat, 201,324; Draper, Re
publican, 167,497.
The margin of victory this year was
the narrowest in years and for hours
after the close of the polls the result
hung in the balance. Republicans re
fused to concede the defeat of Lieu
tenant Governor Frothingham, and it
was intimated that a state-wide re
count might be necessary.
In the Republican campaign
speeches, orators urged Frothingham 's
election on the ground that the na
tional administration should be sup
ported in its tariff policy,' and that a
Democratic victory would mean a
blow to the textile industries in the
state.
Governor Foss placed his record be
fore the people and asked for support.
It was expected that the total vote
would fall off considerably, but the
average was well maintained.
Both branches of the legislature,
apparently, will be Republican.
Statistics of Rodgers' Flight.
Total distance traveled, 4,231
miles. 5
Actual flying time, 4,924 min-1
utes, or 3 days, 10 hours, 4 minutes.
Elapsed time of journey, 49 days.
Average speed when flying, 61.72
miles an hour. . 1
EMPEROR MUST ABDICATE.
Pasadena In a flying machine that
held together only through the good
will of Providence. Calbraith P. Rod
gers, the transcontinental aviator,
glimpsed the Pacific ocean Saturday,
as he soared over the gray top of
Mount Wilson and settled down in
Tournament Park, amidst a clamorous
multitude, waiting, to welcome hir at;
what was. virtually the finish ofiiis
flight from Sheepshead Bay. N. Y.
Rodgers landed at 4:10 o'clock in the
afternoon. , , .
Rodgers appeared on the sky line
shortly after 3 o'clock, a few moments
after he had risen at Pomona, 20
miles away. He was sighted first by
telescopes levelled at him from the
solar observatory on Mount Wilson,
and word flashed down the mountain
by telephone caused a swarming of f
20,000 people to Tournament Park.
Rebels Insist on Absolute Surrender
of Manchus.
Shanghai The central machine of
the revolutionary government does not
trust the throne, nor does it agree
with the throne's terms. It is, there
fore, proceeding to arrange to control
the nation 8 affairs in expectation of
the sucess which it regards as certain.
The retirement of the machine dynasty
will be demanded.
. The official list drawn up includes
Dr. Wu Ting Fang, at one time minis
ter at Washington, who has accepted
the post of secretary of foreiirn af
fairs; Wen Tsong Yao, at one time
Chinese resident in Thibet, to whom
the post of under secretary has been
offered; Ehr Tang, atone time direc
tor of the American council of Canton,
who has accepted the military gover
norship of Cho Kiang and Kiang Su
provinces; Li Ping Shui, head of the
Shanghai gentry, who has accepted the
civil governorship of those provinces,
and Yu Ya Ching,- a leading merchant,
who has accepted the mayoralty of
Shanghai.
ine cninese cnamoer or commerce
baa declared for the rebels and urged
the consular body to prevent the irn
Dterial fleet from entering the yWhang
PO river. The populace fear a repeti
tion of the Hankow brutalities.
Perfect order was maintained in
Shanghai and the outlying districts
the first night after the capitulation
of the city to the revolutionists.
Li Ping Shui, responsible head of
the new administration in the native
city and suburbs, is completing his
organiration. He informed the cor
respondent that he recognized only the
republic and would guarantee order.
Both Sides Make Claims.
" Albuquerque, N. M. Bursum, Re
publican, and McDonald, Democrat,
for governor, both claim election on
meager early returns. Albuquerque
and Las Vegas, both ordinarily strong
ly Republican, however, are both con
ceded to the Democrats, the ' former
by 1,100 and the latter by 200.
- It seems safe to predict a ' Republi
can legislature, which will elect two
United States senators, but the Demo
crats, apparently, have fexcellent
chances of electing a state ticket and
members of congress.

New Jersey is Republican,
Trenton, N. J. Returns indicate
that the Republicans will- control both
branches Of the legislature next win
ter. . The election is significant in the
defeat of several men whose election
was specifically advocated by Gover
nor Woodrow Wilson. . Essex county
went back to the Republican side. ; A
.Republican senator and 12 Republican
assemblymen were chosen. . Returns
from the First district show that Wil
liam J. Brauning, 'Republican, was
elected to congress.
High-Living Cost Study. ' V. -Madison,
Wis. A committee of the
state board . of public affairs met to
take, up . the subject of co-operative
marketing, as, an aid in solving, the
problem pf the high-cost, of living.
Those present included Governor -Mc-Govern
and several Wisconsin- univer
sity professors. The committee con
sidered the selection of an expert to
assist in getting statistics with ' refer
ence to the cost of living and co-operation
among thefarmers.
Taft Refuses, to, Comment; .
Cincinnati 1 resident' Taifc had no
comment to make on the result of the
election in the various states. He
scanned with interest the bulletins
handed him by an Associated Press
representative, but refused to make
arty statement., . ... ;:, ..,.
as the spreading pinions of a soaring
eagle, he sailed in a wide spiral and
voipianea qown to tne tgreenswaru in
the middle of the park.
Rodgers literally was mobbed. He
was borne hither and thither by the
surging crowd. Eager hands clutched
and scratched him, but his leather
clothing was strong enough to resist
attack, although afterwards the avia
tor declared his ribs would surely
manifest black and blue marks of an
over-enthusiastic greeting.
Rodgers started on the last dash of
his flight from Banning, a little town
out in the desert, where his arrival
had interrupted the only diversion of
the year the funeral dance of the
Mojave Indians. The aviator saw a
squaw, 101 years old, who had danced
all night and day, fall in a swoon.
Then he took the air at noon.
their supporters and the Manchu
troops, who never again would be per
mitted to control.
There is reason to believe that the
the South strongly favors the uncon
ditional abdication of the emperor and
the establishment of an entirely new
regime.
Glacial Ice Uncovered.
Klamath Falls, Or. While William
McCully was digging gravel in Bul
lard's canyon recently he was sur
prised to encounter ,a large body of
glacial ice several feet below the sur
face of the gravel bed. He took
some of the cakes into the town of
Merrill, where it was judged to be of
good quality. Thirteen years ago
what is supposed to be the same body
of ice was uncovered, but it became
covered and not until the late dis
covery was it supposed to be still in
existence.
Colored Oranges Barred.
San Bernardino, Cal. Because the
artificial coloring of oranges is no lon
ger permitted, by order of the bureau
of food and drug inspection. Eastern
j tables this Thanksgiving will be
i without.oranges as far as Southern
.California is concerned. Prominent
I orange shippers estimate that this sea
son's crop will be from two to four
weens late oecause or tne order,
Heretofore, by use of the coloring de
vice, the first of the crop have been in
New York in time for the country's
annual feast day.
Turkey Grows for Taft.
Newport, R. I. Horace Vose, the
Westerly turkey fancier, is preparing
his annual Thanksgiving gift for the
president's table. The Taft turkey
this year is a fine bronze gobbler,
which is gaining weight every minute
on a diet of chestnuts, which produces
a fine quality of white meat. "I shall
send President Taft the finest tur
key I ever gave to any President since
the one I sent to President Grant."
says Vose.
Trans-Atlantic Dirigible Fails.
Atlantic City, N. J. Lack of suffi-
cient gas to keep the big dirigible in
the air brought to a sudden end the
trial flight of the airshfD Ak ron.
which is scheduled to make an at
tempt to cross the Atlantic ocean from
this city some time this month. A
propeller blade broken and a guy wire
snapped were the only parts dam
aged in the landing, and these can be
repaired easily. 1
' Fowler Decends Suddenly.
El Paso, Tex. R. G. Fowler, the
eastbound coast-to-coast aviator, ar
rived here at 3 :10 Monday afternoon
on an El Paso & Southwestern passen
ger : train, unhurt, after an accident
which compelled him to leave his bi
plane one mile from Mastodon, N. M.
about 14 miles west5 of El Paso.
Fowler had made 400 miles since leav
ing Douglas, Ariz., in the morning,
when one of the sparkers on his en
gine failed to work.
Witnesses Confirm Atrocities,
Malta Steamer passengers arriv
ing irom iripoii describe the scene as
a reign of terror. Strong military
patrols are continually conducting rig
orous house-to-house searches and on
the smallest pretext summary punish'
ment is meted out. Many victims
have been shot in their own houses.
In the absence of any attempt to
discriminate between friend and foe
many foreigners have taken refuge in
their respective consulates.
Taft Off for Cincinnati.
Hot Springs, Va. After three days'
rest here, President Taft left for Cin
cinnati, accompanied by Mrs. Taft,
Miss Helen Taft and Mrs. Thomas M.
Laughlin, of Pittsburg. Secretary
Hilles and. Major Thomas L. Rhodes,
the .president's physician, will meet
him in" Cincinnati. President Taft
expects to appear before the election
board in Cincinnati and qualify so he
can vote at the city and county elec
tion." '''-.v. - i
