STATE BY 10.000
REPUBLICANS PROBABLY ELECT
SOLID DELEGATION TO CON
GRESS AND LEGISLATCKE.
Hearst Runs Behind Ticket Nearly
60,000 Votes, Electing Hughes
GoTernor of New York.
San . Francisco, Nov. 7. The in
completeness ol the returns makes it
Impossible to speak with precision of
the result of the election for Gover
nor and other officials. The great
length of the ticket and the exces
sive amount of scratching In almost
every county made It Impossible to
get full returns except in a very few
precincts. Accordingly, the most re
liable estimates of pluralities ob
tained from the various county seats
have been used and they show a plur
ality of at least 10,000 for Glllett.
Later returns may reduce this slight
ly, but the probability Is that the
amount will be increased.
The returns Indicate that a solid
Republican delegation will be sent
to Congress. The figures are scant,
but their trend Is Indicative of Re
publican success In every district.
Kahn and Hayes are elected by sub
stantial majorities In tnelr districts.
The Republican candidates for Su
preme Justices have received large
majorities, but the details of the
vote received are too meager for pre
sentation. The Republicans have also' secured
an undoubted majority in both
branches of the Legislature.
Owing to the length of the ticket
voted for throughout the State yes
terday, and the numerous amend
ments, the counting of the ballots
has been extremely slow. There was
agreat deal of scratching in every
county.
Warren R. Porter IK.), has been
elected Lieutenant-Governor.
Secretary of State Charles F. Cur
ry Succeeds himself.
For Controller, Edward P. Col
gan (R., U. L., I. L.) Is elected.
William R. Williams (R.) will be
the next State Treasurer.
Attorney General U. S. Webb (R),
will serve another term In that office.
W. S. Kingsbury (R., U. L) will be
Surveyor General.
W. W. Shannon will succeed him
self as State Printer.

nuglies Carries the State by 50,000
Republican Majority.
New York, Nov. 7. Corrected re
turns on the vote for Governor In this
Slate show that Hughes' majority
over Hearst Is 53,170. There was
such a slump from the rest of the Re
publican htate ticket that It was
thought at one tlma that the Demo
cratic Lieutenant Governor and pos
Ibly the rest of 'he State ticket
Blight be elected.
Hughes will be elected by over
(0,000, and has saved the rest of th
ticket.
New York, Nov. 7. After one ol
tho most bitterly contested elections
In the history of the State of New
York, Charles Kvans Hughes, Repub
lican, has been elected Governor by
a plurality of 53,170. A feature ot
the voting was the big poll for
Hearst In the hir.ie cities und in tht
larpe cities and In the tuniiufnctur
Ing towns.
Surh ci;lc as HufTalo, Rochester
Flt!il-: Oswego, limne and Pougb
keepsle gave materially reduced Re
publican majorities. In the western
part of the State this Republican de
flection extended Into the rural dis
tricts also. New York City gave a
large rote for Hearst.
The' election of Hugnes and his
ticket shows how the farmers of New
York State and the Independent
Democrats restored to sense a city
populace inflamed and overheated by
a torrent of words, promises, and vll
Iiflcatlon by which the combined
forces of Tammany and Hearst
sought to wrest control of the State
from the Republicans.
Republicans Will control Congress.
Washington, Nov. 7. That the Re
publican party will have complete
control of the Sixtieth Congress is
Indicated by election returns up to a
late hour this morning. The Demo
cratic party nas held the Solid South,
but failed In its efforts to invade to
any extent the districts now held by
the Republicans In any other section
of the country. James W. Wadsworth,
a noted republican figure in Con
gress, was defeated in New York, and
the latest returns indicate that J. W.
Babcock, who has for several cam
paigns previous to the last conducted
the Republican Congressional fight,
has been defeated in Wisconsin.
Returns from the Congressional
elections show that 197 Republicans
and oO Democrats have been elected
to the Sixtieth Congress. Thirty
nine districts are still to be heard
from.
The Democratic gains so far lndl
cate two in Illinois, five in Missouri,
five in Pennsylvania, one In Indiana,
one In Ohio, one In New Jersey and
one in North Carolina. The Repub
licans gain one In Kentucky.

STOCKTON IXVKXTOR INDICTED
ON CHARGK OK I'KRI'ETltAT
ING KRAl'l).
Stockton, Cal., Nov. 7. A big sen
sation has developed here following
the arrest of William P. Colt, who
was Indicted by the United states
Grand Jury on the charges of using
the malls for fraudulent purpo3e3.
For several months Celt is said to
have obtained goods from San Fran
cisco firms under the name of "Peter
Gale." After he had become indebt
ed to the San Francisco merchants
they received a clipping purported to
have been published in a Stockton
newspaper giving an account of the
death of "Peter Cale." The creditors
started an investigation and learned
that no such person ever existed.
They found that Colt had been re
ceiving goods and taking letters from
the mall box addressed to "Cale."
Colt is a well known plumber and in
ventor. THREE MEN LOST ON LAKE.
Fishermen Caught In Storm In an
Open Launch on I-ake Michigan.
Chicago, Nov. 7 Three fishermen,
Lewis Wright, William Thornton and
a man whose mime could not be
learned, who left Michigan City, Ind.,
on Saturday In an open gasoline
launch, are believed to have been
drowned. They were on their way to
Chicago, giving a boat a test trl'i.
They carried but lltt'e food, as tlu v
expected to make Chicago In a slv.vt
time.
When ihey failed to reach Ch!,:,..,
It was lit first believed that biii'i
of a small storm which swept tl:i
lake the men had beached the bu.i'
and were safe. The continued ab
sence of the boat alarmed frlea,;.
In Chicago, and the life saving j
crews at Chicago, Michigan City ami
St. Joseph, Mich., were notified.
After an unsuccessful search, al!
hope of finding the missing fishermen
was abandoned last night.
It Is now believed that the boat
was swamped by heavy seas alter Ui;
fuel had been exhausted.
$.'0,000 Found In it G)y ('amp.
Carml, III., Nov. 7. On complaint
of t!tis Mitchell, a gypsy, a warrant
was sworn out yesterday for the re
covery of $1,000 which Mitchell
claimed had been stolen from him by
a rival band of gypsies. Taking a
dor.cn deputies, all heavily armed,!
Sheriff Grlsscom went to the camp
and began to search, in the first
wagon examined more than $1,000
was found, mostly In gold. The sec
ond wagon contalued the richest
treasure, $15,000 In gold being
found.
A certificate of deposit for $25,000 '
Issued by the First National Bank of!
Chicago was found. On sixty-tour1
rosn searched several smaller certlQ-1
cates were found. More than $5 0,000 '
in gold and currency was found In'
the camp. The officers were amazed ,
atthe display of wealth, but were un-1
able to identify Mitchell's alleged
loss.

CONFESSES TO
3
S.LN FRANCISCO GAS-PIPE THTG
CONFESSES TO THE Ml'RDER
OF THREE PERSONS.
Implicates John Simpson, Who Is Al.
so Under Arrest for Murder and
Highway Robbery.
San Francisco, Nov. 7. Louis ;
Dabuer yesterday confessed that h ;
and John Simpson killed William :
Piltzner, the McAllister-street mer-'
chant, William Friede, a merchant at
13S6 Market street, the robbery of
the Japanese bank, O'Farrell and
Webster streets, and the murder of '
M. Munakata, and also the robbery ;
of Dr. 'Thomas B. W. Leland, for!
which another man Is serving a term ;
In the penitentiary. , j
Dabner confessed to Captain of
Detectives Duke, making a clean j
breast of all the horrible crimes of
which he and his companion are
guilty. Dabner was captured by
Jeweler Behrend Saturday night on
Stelner street, when he and Simpson
attempted to murder the Jeweler with
a gasplpe with the Intention of rob
bing his store.
In addition to the confession of
robbing the Japanese bank, from
which Simpson says they got $2,200,
the Friede and Pfltzner murders,
Simpson told the detectives that
about six weeks ago he and Dabner
held up an engineer whose name they
do not know and robbed htm of $55.
It is further confessed that Edward
Glllan was robbed of $38 in his hard
ware store on Point Lobos avenue.
In each case the victim was beaten
almost to death.
Dabner set at rest the theory that
there were three men concerned in
these various robberies by insisting
that he and Simpson did the work
alone. In the robbery of the Jap
anese bank, the Behrend Jewelry
store and tbe other crimes, there
were hut two men, according to
Dabner. He further declares that it
is not fair to lay the blame entirely
upon Simpson, as the chief perpetra
tor of the crimes or the one who
planned them. Dabner says that they
are equally guilty, that they worked
together In all these crimes.
It was expected that the relatives
of Dabner, who visited him Monday, j
would get the confession from him ,
and the police waited nearly all day
for the relatives to appear at head
quarters, they having promised yes- !
terday to do so. But they did not j
come, so Chief Dlnan and Captain
Duke vent out to the station where
i
Dabner Is confined and got the whole ,
story from his Hps.

BEVERLY OF
GRAUSTARK

woman in her journey from St. Petersburg to Graustark,
during which she meets a prince in disguise who turns out
to be the "fairy prince" every woman expects to see
coming down the road, as related by
George Barr McCutcheon
To readers of "Graustark," "Brewster's Millions"
and other charming novels from McCutcheon'spen the mere
announcement of his name is a guarantee of a good story.
"Graustark." as you may remember, is the romance Miss
Jeannette Gilder liked better than " The Prisoner of Zenda. ' '
The story is beautifully illustrated by Heyer. Some of
the pictures are shown in reduced size in this advertisement.
