He was #0 badly injured that he probably will be confined to his home for several month: Comisky was with one of Superintendent of Election Morgan's deputies, who says that five men committed the assault and that he recognized three of them.

JEROME EXPOSES A FRAUD. District Attorney Jerome, at the final of his supporters in Cooper Union to-night, made a sensation when, on reaching the platform he exhibited a plate from which, he said, he had just discovered circulars were about to be printed purporting to be issued by the nominators and containing directions for voting for himself which, If followed, would have invalidated practically all the ballots cast for him. This city, he said, was to have been flooded to-night with se circulars, but the plot was revealed to him by a man employed In the print- ing shop in time to stop their issue. S —— SCOTT'S EMULSION.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.—The eve ot the day toward which Philadelphia has | been looking for six months to decide | whether the municipal affairs of the city jshsn continue to be conducted as they have been in the past, or a new order of | things shall obtain, finds the situation so tense that no Philadelphfan will be sur- prised to-morrow if the peace of the city | 1s seriously disturbed. Matters reached | a critical stage to-day, when the Mayor| of the city and the Sheriff of the county, both of whom are leaders of their respec- tive parties, issued antagonistic proclam- ations swearing to uphold the law and protect the citizens against the illegal ballots of the opposing side. The Sheriff, in his proclamation, called upon citizens to assist deputies appointed by him to uphold the law, and the Mayor replied in a strongly worded proclamation, in| vhich he says: “The peace of the city, the supremacy e law and the blood-bought rights of | t elections must and shall be pre-| served.” For the moment the question of major- has been lost sight of. Backing up his proclamation, the Mayor has sworn | | in about 1000 special policemen for elec- | tion duty. The Sheriff says he will not appoint deputies, and that the peace of the city rests with the Mayor. The proclamation of Sheriff Miles, who the Republican leader of the Thi teenth Ward and chairman of the City | committee, was published broadcast in | Philadelphia to-day. As soon as Mayor| Weaver learned of it he consulted with| his advisers, and this morning he issued mation which was as unusual as drafted by the Sheriff. The | | Mayor in his proclamation sa: It has become public knowledge that cer- rators against the public peace and welfare are planning unlawful acts in con- is | nection with the election to-morrow. Of this riminal combination, James L. Miles is the 1 head and has ostensibly in his office Sheriff, by a so-called proclamation, an- urced that he intends to appoint so-called ieputy sheriffs at the polling places of this formed that the Sheriff of capacity as leader of the lawless tion referred to, has been in consultation breakers and the enemies of law and g some means and free ex- at the election to -morrow. This object they hope to having him, as Sheriff, commission Jeputies to perform services at the ces in defiance of the expressed pro- | the law. | The Mayor, continuing, quotes the law | against such action on the part of the Sheriff, and urges all citizens to resist in | every way possible all deputy sheriffs who may in any way interfere with their voting. The proclamation further de- clares that “the action of James L. Miles constitutes such a menace to the public | peace that I deem it my duty as Mayor of the city to proclaim that his lawless announcement, ostensibly as_ Sheriff, is {an election scheme, and that by reason |of this lawless purpose an-emergency | bas arisen, and that therefore I, John Weaver, Mayor of Philadelphia, | will, by virtue of the authority vested in {me by the laws of’ the r‘omrnnnwealzh.J | take command of the police force of this | city, and in conjunction with Sheldon | Potter, director of the Department of Public Safety, appoint as many special | patrolmen as I may deem advisable, in | addition to the regular police force, to | protect law-abiding citizens in the exer- | cise of their elective franchise and honest | election officers in the performance of their duties.” The proclamation, in con- cluding, says: | 1 nereby warn any person from attempting | to exercise the functione or powers of deputy | sheriffs at the polls and I particularly and especlally warn James L. Miles, High Sheriff | of the County of Philadelphla, prostituting his | high éffice to the criminal ‘purposes of the y sheriff at the polls. 1 | As all such ns appointed by him would | | under such circumstances be law-breakers, they | | ought to be and will be treated accordingly. | The peace of the city, the supremacy of the |law and the blood-bought ights of honest ;eleclorl must and shall be eserved. | Subsequent to the Mayor’s proclamation Sheriff Miles issued a statement, saying: | 1 will not reply to the vicious attacks and | personal abuse of the Mayor, but I will say [ Do deputies have been appointed by me for the election; that I will appoint none, and that 1 have never seriously considered such appoint- ments. He said he did not consider the act pro- | nibiting the appointment of deputy sheriffs for election purposes as con- | stitutional and if he: thought it proper | to do so he would have no hesitation in appointing deputies. He preferred, Ke said, to place the whole responsibility for the preservation of the peace on the Mayor, where it belongs. When Mayor Weaver was shown the Sheriff's statement, he said the Sher- |iff's proclamation certainly indicated | that he contemplated appointing depu- | ties. He said he was willing to accept the responsibility to keep the peace. The work of swearing in special police- men was begun early in the day and was }stm in progress at a late hour to-night. Hundreds of men crowded the corridors of the City Hall all day and evening, walting to be sworp in. It was the In- tention of the administration to have only 500 extra men on duty, but there was s0 many rumors in circulation that squads of policemen would resign to-mor- row and join the forces of the opposing organization that the Mayor and his ad- | visers deemed it best to be prepared for any eventualities, Among ‘the regiment of men sworn in are 350 students of the University of Pennsylvania, some from Swartmore College and several of the medical colleges of this city. The stu- dents from Swartmore include nearly the entire football team of that institution. | Among others sworn In are Willlam T. | Tilden, a wealthy business man, who is | chairman of the campaign committee of | the City party, and Franklin 8. Edmonds, chairman "of the City party city commit- A majority of the special policemen at the Polls To-Day. will be sent to polling places in the wards in the center of the city, known as the “river wards.” Most of the mounted police force will be brought into the city outskirts nnd; will be held in reserve. The Republican organization and the City party managers have made every arrangement to handle all cases of ar- rest. Great efforts are being made to bring out the stay-at-home electors. The managers of both sides gave out predictions to-day that their candidates would sweep the city. The Republicans claim their ticket will win by 50,000 ma- Jority. The City party asserts that its candidates, who have the indorsement of the Democrats, Independent Democrats, Prohibitionists and the Lincoln party, will carry the city by at least 60,000. An extremely heavy vote—heavier than that cast at Presidentlal elections—is looked for. United States Senator Penrose and Chairman Wesley R. Andrews of the Re- publican State committee say they look for Republican victory in the city and that J. Lee Plummer, Republican candi- date for State Treasurer, will carry Phila- delphia by more than 100,000. Their pre- diction is disputed by Democratic Nation- al Commtteeman James H. Duffey and the Lincoln party managers, who claim that Willilam H. Berry will defeat Plum- mer. Berry is the Democratic nominee and has the endorsement of the Lincoln party, Independent Democrats and Pro- hibitionists. e TOM JOHNSON INDORSED. Praised for Administration as Cleve- land’s Mayor. CLEVELAND, Nov. 6.—The Mayoralty campaign In this clty has been of un- usual interest because of the precedent which Mayor Johnson's possible re-elec- tion will establish. No other Mayor has served for longer than two terms. John- son’s opponent is Willlam H. Boyd, a Republican. The Municipal Assoclation, an organi- zation composed of prominent citizens, whose purpose is to investigate the fit- ness of candidates for public office and publish its findings, issued a bulletin on respective candidates for the Mayoralty recently. Of Mayor Johnson's adminis- tration it sald: “The association has not heretofore supported Mayor Johnson because it was not at one time convinced of the sin- cerity of his expressed purpose to give Cleveland a clean, progressive adminis- tration. His administration has, how- ever, demonstrated the sincerity of his statements. The character of service rendered and of officials responsible for this service has been placed upon a high- er plane than at any time in the his- tory of our city. His administration has been business-like, free from graft and such as to give our city a noteworthy position compared with other municipali- tles in this country. i g HERRICK HARD PRESSED. Vigorous Campaign Made Against Him in Oblo. COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 6.—On the eve of the elections the indications point to a remarkably heavy vote. Successors to the present Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, State Treasurer, Jus- tice of the Supreme Court and member of the Board of Public Works, are to be chosen, and also members of both houses of the Legislature and officlals of the leading citie: The campaign against the re-election of Governor Herrick began months befoxe his renomination and has been carried on so vigorously by the Anti-Saloon League that many Sunday night sermons became political addresses. That there are defections fro Her- rick, the Republican managers admit, but they claim that enough new adherents have been secured almost to balance the loss. Two years ago Myron T. Herrick was elected Governor over Tom L. John- son by a plurality of 113,812, and last year the plurality for President Roosevelt was 255,421, while Secretary of State Laylin had 230,389 plurality. The full registration figures this year are unknown, but in nearly all sections of the State there was a pronounced gain over the registration of two years ago and very little short of the big figures of the Presidential year. S NEGRO SUFFRAGE THE ISSUE. Democratic Party in Maryland Is Split in Twain. BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.—Though the campaign In Maryland practically closed on Saturday night, so far as public meetings were concerned, the leaders and party workers In the city wards and in the counties spent a busy day in giving the finishing touches to the final argument for to-morrow's battle, To-day’s morning and after- | noon papers were replete with fervid addresses to voters, all being devoted to the proposed amendment to the con- stitution to bar illiterate voters, par- ticularly negroes. It is agreed that the campaign over the suffrage question has been gne of the most exciting and bitter in the his- tory of the State, the Democratic party, especlally in Baltimore, being squarely divided Into two factions. The pro-amendment forces are led by Senator Gorman, and the antis by Sen- ator Raynor and Governor Warfield, with the Republicans united under the leadership of Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte. L ATl CHURCH KEEPS HANDS OFF. Mormon President Neutral in the Salt Lake City Election. SALT LAKE, Nov. 6.—At the close of the municipal ecampaign to-night the first authoritative statement as to the attitude of President Joseph F. Smith of the Mormon church was published in the Deseret News, whose editor, Apostle Penrose, is supporting Mayor Richard “P. Morris (Democrat), for re- election. This announcement states that President Smith is not interfering in the electlon and says that “all citi- zens are perfectly free, so far as he is concerned, to vote as they choose, and he has no counsel or advice to give them in relation to the matter.” United States Senator and Apostle Reed Smoot is supporting Chief of Po- lice Lynch, the Republican candidate, who is a Gentile. The betting “to-night is two to one against Morris, with Lynch and Ezra Thompson, the anti-Mormon candidate, in about equal favor. s s b QUIET ELECTION IN ILLINOIS, Party Lines Are Not Drawn and the Vote Will Be Light. ¢ CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—Election day in Tllinols to-morrow promises to be a quiet one, as party lines have not been drawn very closely during the cam- paign and the indications to-night are that not more than one-half the regu- FIGHTING FLANES Residents of West Redding Work for Hours to Save | Homes Endangered by Fire ¥ BLAZE IS OBSTINATE RS ol Men Compelled to Leave Beds and Resume Battle They Theught Was Won i PR S L Speclal Dispatch to The Call.

He claims to have been a thousand miles away from the scene when it was committed, yet admits taking a steamer for Australia in company with Nulda Petrle in preference to giving himself up and proving an alibl. which would have been very simple if he were in a different part of the country. Andrews says that he has a brother in Hartford who advised him to flee to Australia at the time that he was accused of the Bouton murder in Colo- rado. FLEES TO AUSTRALIA. At this juncture Andrews _explains the story of the killing of Bosworth at New Brittain, Conn. He claims to have been in Denver at that time, though he took great pains to keep his whereabouts a secret and leaving that city as quickly as possible to avoid ar- rest. Andrews dees not say much about his life in Australia other than to state he won large sums of money in crooked gam- bling and implicating Ellis in the transac- tions. He then branches off and gives a weird history of his life. Referring to the Ellis affair, Andrews says: “I told Nulda that it was his life or mine and that I would kill him for two reasons; first what he had done to her; and that he would tell the police if we had another quarrel and as I bad told him in confidence that I was a fugitive from justice. “A man who makes money at gam- bling as I do does not have to murder L3 e lar number of ballots will be polled.

The Re- publican party clalms the election of Lieutenant Governor Curtis Guild Jr. for Governor, over Charles W. Bartlett, the Democratic nominee, by a large plurality, and while predicting also the election of Eben S. Draper, its nominee for Lieutenant Governor, admits that his plurality will fall behind that given to Guild. The Democrats go as far as to claim the election of Henry M. Whitney, their nominee for second place, by a large plurality and express confidence in the choice of Bartlett by an emphatic in- dorsement. The four others places on the State ticket are generally conceded to the Republicans. < g S Close Fight in Rhode Island. PROVIDENCE, R.

BERKELEY, Nov. 6.—William C. El- 1lis, the Australian horseman who was assaulted and nearly murdered by An- drews in Berkeley, was informed of the death of his assallant to-night, and as he listened to the story of the murder and suicide his eyes lit up with a gleam of joy. After a few eager questions as to the proofs found that it was not a case of mistaken idgntity, Ellis said: Too bad. too bad, that they got him dead instead of alive, that he might have met a fitting punishment for all that he has done. During all this time that I have been ill from the effects of his attempt to kill me I have | lived in the hope of Some day meeting him once more. 1f we had met again he would never have had a second chance to kill me, and I would have punished him with my own hands for what he did to me and then they could have taken him and hanged him. You can rest assured that I would never have spoiled him_for hanging, for in spite of my hatred for him I do not forget that he suc- ceeded In fixing others the way he attemptea to fix me. Of course no man could forget all his deceit and_treachery, ending with a blow on the head llke the one he gave me, but for all that I would not want it to be my hand that ended his life. After I determined to delay my return to Australia 1 made up my mind that as soon as I was well enough I would go to Saa Francisco and locate that vegeterian restaurant there .and watch it. for I was certain that An- drews had mot left this part of the country and T know that If he was in San Francisco sooner or later he would go to that restaurant. It there was any money or jewelry in his possession when he killed himself, I think I shall claim enough to repay me what I loaned to him and what he stole from me when he tried to kill me. In all he owed me about $1200. ‘Andrews never spoke to me of committing sulcide if he was caught In anything that would mean a long term in prison, or death; in fact I think that he was too cowardly, and loved life too well to commit suicide, unless all hope of escape was gone. But I do belfeve that the woman who was with him, either asked him to kill her or killed herself, for one day when we were on the steamer, An- drews turned to her and said: “I love her, and she loves me, and if I were to tell her that I was going to kill her now, she would tell me that she was willing; wouldn't you, dear?’ The woman answered ‘‘Yes, I would.” - + GALA PERFORMANCE GIVEN BY MANSFIELD He Plays in Indiana and Modjeska Opens in Harrisburg.

For the dedicatory per- formance Mansfield acted his superb Shy- lock in a magnificent production of Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice.

But it is | admitted that the assessments for the | mortuary fund are insufficient to meet the death claims unless the reserve or emergency fund is used.

It Ts denied that Rosenfeld received $200,000 from the company by fraud, but stated | that this amount was paid for the mem- bership of the Life Insurance Company of Pennsylvania. As a result of this ex- | penditure the Western company received $90,037 over and above the purchase price. It is admitted that General Manager Rosenfeld and President George M.
