CHRISTIANS DID IT.
They Made Strong Fight Against
Breckinridge.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 16.-A strong
Breckinridge man, cashier in one OF the
banks here, attributed the defeat of his
candidate to the opposition of Judge
Morton and Prof. McGarvey, of the
Christian church. He said:
"The Christian church has very
strong following here, and while ordi-
narlly we should have thrown 500 to
1000 plurality for Breckenridge, we
carried Fayette county by only 2O5
votes"
Col. John R. Allen, county attorney,
one of Breckinridge's incessant sup
porters, says that he intends to support
Owens, and in fact is wearing the
Owens button. Poyntz Nelson, of the
state college, a man very close to Col.
Breckenridge, said that he did not be-
lieve any of the rumors that Breckin-
ridge would contest. The committee
will meet in Frankfort, he said, to can
vass the vote and if anything wrong is
discovered it will be righted there.
Owens men are very well satisfied. A
few, however, complain that Breckin-
ridge men had stack of affidavits at
every polling place and voted every man
they could on these af1idavits. A story
was started that w. S. McChesney Jr.
and another Breckenridge man took a
carriage and went to Scott county with
$4,000 intending to buy up the officers of
election, but arrived too late. Traced
to its source, this story appears to have
been founded on the fact that Nc
Chesney hired carriage at a livery
stable to take Col. Breckenridge to
Trevilis to the home of Mrs. Douglass,
where Breckenridge and his wife are
staying. Col. L. Logan Hocken. the
original Owens an,of Lexington, said:
LAS victors we can afford 10 be
generous. l fought the colonel to the
best of my ability. but now that he is
beaten have no unkind words for him
or for any of his good friends who
worked for MIN. We are all Demo-
crats.'

TO STRIKE.
NEW ENGLAND CLOTHING
TRADE ALL TORN UP.
If the Jumping System Is Not
Abolished Journeymen Will
Lay Down Their Tools.

BOSTON, Sept. 16.-There is every in
dication today that within few days
there will be inaugurated here one of
the biggest strikes in the history of the
clothing trade of New England. The
various branches of the trade held meet
ings today aud indorSed the recon-
mendatlonS of the clothing trade coun-
Gil that the Jumping system be aboI-
iShed, and that the weekly wage system
be established; also that a uniform num-
Der of working hours be established.
The matter will be brought before a
mass meeting of the United Craft to-
morrow, and, If the recommen dations
are adopted by two-thirds majority.
then series of conferences with the
manufacturers and contractors will be
held as SOON as possible. If the en-
plOyers agree to the demands, then the
threatened strike will be averted, but if
they refuse, strike will be ordered at
once. The operatives claim they are in
better position for a struggle than
their employers. as the latter have been
waiting the result of the tariff bill, and
consequently are behind with their
work. They also assert that they have
everything to gain and nothing TO lose,
as they are ground down at the present
beyond endurance. A feature the men
are expecting to aid them is that, owing
TO the present strike in New York, the
manufacturers there have been sending
their work to be made up here. The
entire trade appears encouraged over
the prospect. and at the meeting a strike
would have been ordered if it had been

OWENS BADGE EVERYWHERE
The Supporters of Breckin-
ridge Get in Line for the
Nominee.
CHRISTIANS BEAT BRECK.
They Got in Their Work at
Lexington, the Old Mans
Home.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 10. - The
victors seek TO possess the entire field;
the vanQuished accept defeat manfully.
This conclusion is justified by outside
manifest themselves early this morning.
One Notable indication was the dotfing
of Breckenridge badges and donning
Owens badges by the most ardent young
bloods. who supported Breckenridge
throughout the campaign with their
money and their personal services. They
say they went to the election yesterday
believing that every voter at the pri-
maries was morally bound to support the
nominee. Now that their fayorte, for
whom they fought SO valiantly, seems
to have suffered defeat they feel IN
honor bound to support his opponent.
They SeeIu to acQuieSce in the iuevita-
bic. There was report this afternoon
that Owens, Settle and Brecki nrdge
would each issue card 70 the public
stating his case. This was on the theory
that Breckenridge was about to contest
the election. Breckinridge absolutely
refuses to talk. The most thorough in
vestigation failed to find ground for the
rumor. Everybody is thoroughly tired
of the fierce contest that terminated in
yesterdays primaries. TO contest the
election would be 10 prolong the strug-
gle. The probabilities, therefore, seem
to be against the contest. The best
figures obtainable here tonight at this
hour give totals for candidates as fol-
lows: Owens. 1890; Breckinridge, 1910;
Settle, 3,405; Ovens plurality, 800
Corrected returns, which are expected
tomorrow. will probably vary but little
from these figures.

DULUTH LIVERPOOL.
A Far-Reaching Scheme for

to Liverpool.

ship.
SHALL UNCLE SAM HELP?

TORONTO, Ont. Sept. 16.-The inter-
national deep waterways convention
which will meet at Toronto tomorrow
promises to be the most important gath
erlng of the kind ever held on this COIL
tinent. Its efforts are expected by the
promoters to be far-reaching in the mat
ter or the transport of freight from the
Western states and the Western Cana
dian provinces TO tine seaboard, and its
influence on the present channels of
freight from the West to the East may
be very important. Chicago, Detroit,
Minneapolis. Cleveland, Duluth, To-
ledO and other important centers have
promised to have representatives here.
One of the greatest schemes to be con-
sidered is the deepening of the canals
along the st. Lawrence river connect
ing Lake Ontario and other great lakes
in the West with the Atlantic ocean to
a depth of twenty feet. so that they will
allow the passage of ocean-going vessels
to Duluth and all other American
ports on the inland lakes. TO overcome
the Chief difficulty that presents itself
it is held that the United States should
be asked to contribute to the cost of
deepening the canals. Against this,
however, it is urged that if the Amer
leans were asked to contribute to the
cost of the Improvements, it would
give them hold by part ownership in
the great water highway advantages,
which Canada now controls. James A.
Fisher. member OF tie Manitoba leg
islature, who has made q study of the
whole question. and who is here to
attend the convention, holds that the
saving to Western American shippers
and importers as we'll in having the use
of such deep waterway as that sug-
gested would he very great. The con-
vention is likely to appoint a strong
deputation to urge upon the Canadian
government the necessity of beginning
the proposed improvements before any
steps have been taken to improve the
Erie canal. The Canadian minister of
canals holds that the scheme is too big
for Canada to undertake at present, as
the country is not strong enough to bear
the accompanying financial burden.

New YORK, Sept. 16.-A man about
forty years old, who registered at the
New York Hotel, Broadway, opposite
Bond street, on Friday night. as NJ. A.

his room this morning. He had COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself in
the head. A revolver lay in the bed
beside him. When this morning re-
peated knocks at the suicides room
brought no answer, an entrance was
forced. On the bed, fully dressed, with
the exception of his coat and shoes, lay
the body Of the occupant of the apart
ment. His head rested on the pillow.
which had become soaked with blood
from bullet wound behind his right
ear. There was nothing to tell why the
man put an end to his life. but this
telegram was found on the table in the
room:
To George c. Bell. 5i3 Euclid avenue,
Cleveland, Ohio: l am dead. What shall
they do with my carcass? NJ. A. BELL.
This was also found written on a tele-
gram blank:
Don't ever black your shoes for me, as
am not worthy or responsible for it. n.
The only luggage the suicide had was
an ordinary telescope" bag. A con-
siderable amount, of money, jewelry
and gems of much value were found
upon his person. These included a
gold watch and chain. pocketbook
containing S175.76. two revOlvers, three
penknlves, three unset diamonds of
large size and great brilliancy, valued
at Si00 each, diamond shirt stud and
diamond ring worth collectively $500,
an emerald ring, two plain gold rings
and gold neck chain. The diamond
jewelry is estimated to be worth So, 900.
The mans relatives in Cleveland were
Informed of his death by telegraph.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 16.-Mlton A.
Bell, who killed himself in New York
last night, was well known in this city.
He had been engaged in business here
for some time as broker and money
Gamer, with an office at 20 Euclid ave-
nue., and lived at Collinwood, a suburb
an village. He went to New York last
Monday. and nothing had been heard
from him until today, when the news of
his death was received by his relatives.
MIR. Bell's brother, who is dentist
here. said that he could think of 10
reason why his brother should desire to
kill himself, and the only theory he ad-
vanced was that the man was tempo
rariIy insane. DR.. Bell says that his
brother has been subject to terrible
nervous headaches. and he thinks it
possible that he killed himself while
suffering from one of his periodical
attacks of headache.

Candidate.

Candidate.
GEORGETOWN. KY. Sept. 16.-The
people of Georgetown have not yet
ceased celebrating the triumph OF their
honored fellow citizen in the congress
sional primary election yesterday. All
day MIR. Owens has been flooded with
congratulations from all parts of this
country. He bears the well-earned vic
tory with his usual modesty. 1t was
long after midnight before the ell
thusiasm aroused by the retarns las t
tire. The enthusiasm, which was in
full blast, was dampened for while
by unfavorabe reports, but when
the news of the victory was made GER
tain bedlam broke loose. Men went
crazy with JOY and hugged each other
in way that would have made them
ridiculous OIL ordinary occasions. The
good natured mob, for it was nothing
else, seized upon Mr.. Owens and tried
to carry him on their shO ulders. The
court house bell was rung. balloon
was sent up, fireworks filed the air and
boniires biazed Oh every corner. A
drygoods box was placed ON the public
oHQalC Uuu NIL ONCllS was llltSu upoh
it. But speech-making was out OF the
question. Mr.. Owens said he had been
doing the speaking, but the boys had
done the WORK; it was their
night to howl and he wanted
them To enjoy themselves. After
the crowd had yelled themselves
hoarse, they insisted on speech, and
Mr.. Owens spoke briefly from the bal
coy of the Wells house. He said:
"For some months have been fur
nlshing the chin music, but this Is
the sweetest music ever heard. You
have done all you promised to do. but l
want TO exact one more promise from
you, and that is 10 support the nominee,
and l won't forswear you. will take
your word. l am only the instrument
through the people; The noble men and
women have won the victory. l believed
that the work of the men aud tears and
prayers of the women would bring a
good result "

May BE a CONTEST.
Evidence Being Looked Up in
Owen County.

FRANKFORT. KY, Sept. 16. -Breck-
inridge men here are reluctant to ac-
knowledge their defeat. Some of them
are still claiming the nomination of
Col. Bfeckinrdge by a small majority.
They base their hopes OF contesting the
election on the fact that the Owen
county vote fell off 800 from last fall.
Chairman Gaines, of the Breckenridge
committee, went to Lexington to-
night TO consult with party leaders
there. Owens men claim the nominal
ton by 241 votes. The official count
will be held here tomorrow, and, as a
majority of the election committee
favors Breckenridge, it is expected that
advantage WILDE taken of every con-
tested vote to seat the colonel. Bishop
Duncan, IN prayer before the Meth
odist conference here today, thanked
God that the right had been upheld in
putting down bad men who aspired to
public office.

having removed there with his parents
from Providence, r. l., in 1919, when
the Minnesota metropolis was little
more than an Indian village. He and
his father purchased $40 acres of land,
which later became known as Dayton's
Bluff. He was educated in the law and
otherwise at Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and
practiced for time in New York city.
Later lie returned to st. Paul and Min
neapoiis and e-entered the real estate
business, in which he was for many
years very successful. In 1881, when
the James River valley was opened to
settlement, he made extensive purchases
of town lots in the new towns of Aber-
deem, Milbank. Watertown aud other
places. He also filed on quarter Sec
ton of land now within the city limits
OF Aberdeen. The same has been
Repeatedly Contested,
and the case is now one of the most
celebrated in the land department at

His other interests here became of con-
siderable value, 100000 or more, but
are badly involved. While living in
New York he married grass widow
who was passing under fictitious

romantic chapter was added TO his life.
Mr.. Dayton made his will Friday. His
attorney refuses to divulge its contents
at this time any more than that the bulk
OF the property goes to single heir, an
