Heart Failure, Not Broken Neck, Causes His-Death Ansley, Neb.,, Nov. 2—To the Editor of The Bee: It having been re- ported locally and by some cn!crp}js- ing reporter to the daily press that the death of Wilbur Gettys on the Ansley foot ball field was due from rough handling, which resulted in his neck being broken, I take. this means as a spectator and attendant physi- cian to say that the above report is not only incorrect, but unfair to the game and especially to the Ansley players. The yvoung man had hardly started with the ball when tackled. He fell, not backward, as reported, but for- ward on his side. He started to get up, bud turned about and lay down as if short of breath. I was at first called, then told he was all right; in fact, he said so himself. However, I walked out where he lay. When I reached him I noticed his difficult breathing, and at once felt for his pulse, but found none in the wrist. I then lis- tened with the stethoscope for the heart beats, but found the heart had stopped. He breathed irregularly for several minutes, but all efforts to re- vive him were in vain, After we decided there were no hopes for him, we made a thorough physical examination, but found no signs of fractured vertebra or other marks of violence. We found quite a marked enlargement of the thyroid gland, or a goitre; also some swelling around his ankles. I therefore feel that I am cotrect in saying that he died as a result of over-exertion because he had a weak heart, which is very often attendant with goitre. In this opinion I am sustained by Drs. Young and Higgins and also Chiropractor C. R. Woolley, all of whom assisted in try- ing to save the young man’s life and made a thorough pyhsical examina- fion While it is very regretable that he should have passed beyond while tak- Jing part in a friendly game it is no more than often happens under ex- isting conditions while in any scuffle, wrestle or other exertions. In view of these known facts it is very manifestly unfair to tegm it a faot ball fatality, but should be called a case of heart failure while indulging in a game of foot ball. Very sincerely, C. L. HOUSEL, M. D. Woman in Prison Taken to Milford For Birth of Child (From a Staff C X respondent.) Lincoln, - Nov. (Special Tele- gram.) — Mrs. Gertrude Schaue, brought to the penitentiary from Omaha seven months ago to serve a term for issuing checks with no fypds in the bank, gave birth to a daughter at the Milford Industrial home Mon- day, whére she had been taken, that the child would not be born within prison walls. The mother will be re- turned to the penitentiary in a few days and the child will be kept at the home until a place can be found for it. Princeton Alumni 3 to 1 for Hughes New York, Nov. 2—(Special.)—For Hughes, 2,098; for\Wilson, 651. This is the result of a non-partisan poll of Princeton alumni taken by a commit- tee of graduates from that university under the auspices of the Hughes National College league. The poll reveals that 492 Princeton alumni who voted for Wilson in 1912 are go- ing to vote for Hughes this year; whereas, fifty-seven is the total TFaft and Roosevelt vote which is going to Wilson, Equally significant is the fact that 360 men who voted for Roosevelt in 1912 are going to vote for Hughes and only thirty-seven for Wilson. In other words, over 90 per cént of the progressive vote is going to Hughes. Of the 2,098 men for Hughes, 492 voted for Wilsom in 1912; 360 for Roosevelt, 890 for Taft and 356 did not vote. Of the 651 ballots cast for Wilson, 473 were by men who voted for him in 1912, thirty-seven by men who voted for Roosevelt, twenty by men who voted.for Taft and 121 by men who did not vote. In 1912 three Princeton graduates voted the prohi- bition ticket and ‘two the socialist. RAILROAD MEN GET WISE T0 FLIMFLAM w.orkeu Are Coming to Sup- port Hughes as Discover Deception Practiced. WHAT THIS LAWYER SAYS New York, Nov. 2.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Something is going wrong with the program of the Big Four railroad brotherhoods to deljiver the votes of all railroad workers to Wil- son. Governor Hughes has a labor rec- ord, too, and it is winning the support of wage earners on the railroads, even the railway trainmen, despite the frantic attempt of the presumptive beneficiaries of the Adamson act to hold them in line for the president. The National Hughes alliance to- day pointed to a flood of enrollments from railroad men as proof of the declarattion that railroad men are rallying to the support of Governor Hughes. Among a batch of signed enrollment cards received were those of five employes of the Erie railroad, of a railroad conductor of the Boston & Albany living_ at Pittsfield, Mass? of a Pennsylvania railroad brakeman living at Philadelphia, Pa, and of a fireman of the Jersey Central at Bayonne, N. J., who, by the way, rec- orded the fact that he voted for Wil- son in 1912, 2 A brakeman of the Jersey Central signed from Bayonne; from Jersey City came the coupon of an assistant foreman of a section gang on the Pennsylvania railroad. A“ Pennsyl- vania railroad clerk at Rahway signed and a freight clerk of the Baltimore & Bee Want Ads Produce Results, Ohio sent a_card from Elizabeth. A claim clerk of the Lackawanna railroad signed, an Erie man enrolled from Paterson, a draughtsman who voted for Wilsén- last time enrolled from Newark and a station agent of the Jersey Central at Barnegat signed. This batch of cards happened to be largely from New Jersey, but the rec- ords of the alliance show that the movement toward Hughes among railroad men as shown by these cards is just as true of other states. Brotherhoods’ Counsel Speaks. In a statement made public here to- day, Miles M. Dawson, a member of the advisory council of the American Assoeiation for Labor Legislation, praises Governor Hughes and shows how President Wilson tricked the rail- road brotherhoods by the so-called Adamson eight-hour law. Mr. Dawson is well qualified to speak on the subject, for he was coun- sel for the brotherhoods at Washing- ton during the agitation that preceded the enactment of the Adamson law and was present at the hearings before the senate committee on interstate commerce when the bill was under consideration. Mr. Dawson has long been associated with the brotherhoods, and was a witness for them in several arbitrations. . “The foremost trait of Charles E. Hughes is unswervifig devotion to duty,” says Mr. Dawson, “That ex- lains his character and it his career. ft explains, for instance, why he is so slow to accept new responsibilities; he expects to fulfill them, | "A%Albnny, while he was governor, was the ‘open door” He received in the big room, before all who gathered there, all comers on public business, friends or foes, rich or poor, powerful or friendless, and he listened or ob- served. There were no private con- ferences, no visitors” upon * public business except in public. The ‘back stairs’ both literally and figuratively disappeared. He welcomed open criti- cism of proposed legislation; the sharper the better. Thus mistakes could be remedied, or if too late for that the faulty bill could be vetoed. Thus legislation was brought to such erfection that little of it failed of its ull purpose. ¥ “Devotion to duty also explains the things which Hughes did for working- ment, more legislation for their real benefit than this state had ever seen, every line of it thoroughly wrought out after deliberation and submission to criticism. “Charles E. Hughes was my fellow member on the Social Reform club of this city twenty years ago, a club which supported labor’s cause con- stantly and consistently, and in which the movement for workmen's com- pensation in this country originated. He was so identified when Woodrow Wilson was, as a reformer, grossly in- sulting organized labor, as of late he insults classes of citizens, whom he thinks he can with impunity, and pos- sibly with political advantage. About the “Eight Hours.” “So, also, regarding the eight-hour controversy. The railway brother- hoods demanded an eight-hour day, with time and a half for overtime, and they refused to arbitrate because no offer was made to arbitrate this plain issue, and because a long list of counter claims regarding things’ long ago settled by agreements, compro* mises or arbitrations was set up. “Had a proposal been made by the railroad managers for eight hours at ten hours’ pay, leaving out the time and a half for overtime the brother- hoods would have rejected it and struck rather than stood for it. The brotherhood leaders instantly accept- ed this very proposal when made by the president, though they would have rejected it had it been made by the managers. Had they not the rail- road managers would Kave accepted. The brotherhoods would have been so universally condemned as to make a strike hopeless. The brotherhoods have, as yet, nothing but the prospect of increased wages, for the eight-hour day they must again give Every item on Wilson's legislative program is intended to be put through in the short session in which the brotherhoods expect to fight.” Elenore Bergstrom Dies of Poison Draught (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 2.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Elenore Bergstrom, aged 24, a domestic, formerly from Omaha, died last night from a dose of poison taken at the Lincoln”/insane asylum, where she was a patient. After an investigation, Coroner Mathews concluded that an inquest was not necessary, the evidence show- ing that she had obtained the key to the medicine closet and had obtained the poison, bichloride of megcury, while the nurse had her back turned.

JEFFERIS MAKES ADDRESS Springfield, Neb., Nov. 2—(Spe- cial)—After a busy morning spent in Lincoln visiting the freight houses and large business concerns where numerous voters are employed, John L. Kennedy, republican candidate for United States senator, carrigd his campaign into Sarpy county Wednes- day and closed the day by speak- men and women in the tabernacle at a barbecue held here tonight under the auspices of the Springfield Hughes club. Ben S. Baker, republican candidate for congress from the Second dis- trict, joined Mr. Kennedy at Gretna, and A, W. Jefferis of Omaha came here edrly thig evening and all had a part in the spcech making. W. G. Kieck of Springfield, republican can- didate for county superintendent. also spoke. Clarence Keyes, republican committeeman, presided. Whole:Town at Spread. Before the speaking all Springfield turned out to partake of a supper of cheese and “hot dog" sandwiches and doughnuts and coffee, provided by the Hughes' club under the direction of Frank Comte, president and Roy Harberg, secretary. Miss Eula Bates was in charge of the tables and George Bates was master chef de cuisine, A On the platform sat H. P. Shum- way, candidate for licutenant gover- nor; E. B. NickerSon, candidate for county attorney; Cha Martin, can- didate for county treasure harles Hutter, candidate for sheriff; Fred Iske, candidate for representative: Ernest Ruff, candidate for county clerk; Fred Ball, J. M. Elwell and W. H. Davidson. A large number of voters gathered here from all over the counfy and the.meeting was the best that has been held here during the campaign. Asks Hughes’ Election. Mr. Kennedy's speech dealt largely with patriotic questions and the large moral questions in the campaign. He pleaded for the preservation of the American idealism which in McKin- ley's time made the United States a world power, henored and respected abroad and loved and revered at home. To accomplish this he asked for the election of Charles E. Hughes as president and Ben S. Baker as congressman and himself as United States senator. This proposal was met with a wild burst of applause and cheering. Mr, Baker talked at length on the tariff and the needs of the country after the war.® His speech was good natured and well re- ceived. As to the War’Argument, A. W. Jefferis said in part, “We are told that Wilson kept us out of war. But I say that he came very nearly getting us ‘into war with Ger- many. So near did he come that our respected democratic citizen, William Jennings Bryan, resigned from the eabinet rather than be a party to a transaction of the president’s which would have plunged this nation into war with Germany. After Mr. Bryan resigned the policy of the Wilson ad- ministration was-changed and the note to the Berlin government al- tered. If we are to thank any one for keeping us out of war let us thank William Jennings Bryan and Kaiser Wilhelm, but for whom we would have been thrown into war by President Wilson.” Democrats Change Over. The spirit of “America first and only,” which prevaiied here tonight, caused many who had been noncom- mittal to announce themselves for Hughes for president. Many Jocal democrats assured Mr. Kennedy of their intention to vote for him be- cause of his fearlessness in taking a stand on moral questions, and his cleanfand wholesome manner of cam- paigning. Wilson-Meredith Party at Sioux City Sioux City, Ia,, Nov. 1.—The Wil- son-Meredith special, which is mak- ing a final swing over lowa in behalf of the democratic nominee for gov- ernor, arrived here at 7 o'clock to- night. Mr. Meredith and his party were met by a democratic entertain- ment committee and band and escorted to the court house, where he delivered an address in the interest of the dem- ocratic *national and state candidates. Congressman Tom Steele presided and introduced Mr. Meredith. The meeting was preceded by a parade, headed by the Iowa State band. Son of Henry Ford Wedded in Detroit Sioux City, Ia., Nov, 2-—The Wil- Ford, only son of Henry Ford, De- troit_ automobile manufacturer, married here tonight to Miss Eleanor Clay, a niece of the late Joseph L. Hudson, millionaire dry goods mer- chant. The marriage took place at the home. of the bride.
