number Of EIectOrs Registered Indi-
Gates that Total Vote In City OF
Omaha VIII He About Sew
enteen Thousand.
Repatriation in City Of Omaha.

As compared with the registration of
1900 the total number of voters registered
in Omaha this year shows a falling on Of
1906, the total being s,435, as against a.
741 two years ago.
In South Omaha the total registration
this year is 1881, while two years ago it
was 4,972, a deficiency of s91.
In the two cities, therefore, 1921 less
voters are registered for the election next
Tuesday than we're enrolled preceding the
presidential election OF 1900.
The deficiency In both cities is about
evenly divided between the different par
ties, IL 1t be taken for granted that the
larger portion OF those who refused to give
party afiliation are Of the democratic
forces.
In Omaha the greatest falling of IS in
the Third ward, where us less voters have
registered this year than in 1900; then
comes the Sixth ward with a deficiency OF
526; the First, 3s4; the Eighth. 391; the
Fourth, 1856; the Fifth, 316; the Seventh,
SO3; the Second, 297, and the Ninth, with
a falling of OF only 8. The large reg
istration in the Ninth ward is explained
by the increased population and building
up OF that part Of the city. .
Although no complete statistics on the
registration OF last year were compiled by
the newspapers. it is known that this
! years enrolment of voters Is in excess OF
that OF 1901 by probaly 1900.
With a total OF Is, 4S5 voters registered in
the city Of Omaha 1t is, likely hat the to-
tai vote in the city next Tuesday will be
about II, 900. estimating that s to 8 per cent
Of those registered will not go to the polls.

when testimony will be heard in this city.
The first four days Of next week will be
taken up in inspecting mines and mining
towns from Hazletop south to the end OF

Judge Gray said tonight that the recess
will be taken TO give both sides suficient
time to prepare their cases. and the COM

The arbitrators spent the day about
Wilkesbarre, visiting one mine and making
a tour OF several towns on the outskirts.
Nearly two hours we're spent In the Dor
rance %colliery, belonging to the Lehigh Val
ley Coal company, at North Wilkesbarre.
The mine is a gaseous one and the com
missioners and other members OF their
party we're compelled to carry safety lamps.
They were told the mine was dangerous,
but their eagerness for Information was so
great that the unsafe condition OF the
workings did not deter them. On this trip
S. d.. Warringer, general superintendent OF
the company, and w. J. Richards, general
superintendent OF the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal company. accompanied them.
The miners were represented by Mr.. Mich
oils and John Fallon. There were no spe-
cial incidents in the trip and the tour was
made much the same as those taken in
other mines, the only difference being that
they saw a vein about sixteen feet thick,
which is three times the thickness OF the
seams seen on Thursday and Friday.
Today was All Saints day and It is re-
ligiously observed by many OF the foreign
| speaking mine workers. For this reason
no coal was mined in the Dorrance and
many other collieries throughout the re-
gion. The company officials drew the at

After luncheon the party took a trolley
car and visited South Wilkesbarre. Ashley,
Sugar Notch and Plymouth, inhabited prin-
cipally by mine workers. They did not
leave the car, but wherever it stopped a
crowd gathered to give them an opportunity
to ask questions regarding rents and other
living expenses. On the return to Wilkes

train for Scranton.

the ball into a Nebraska mans face. UNI
pIre Curtis promptly disqualified Baine and
ruled him out OF the game. Penalties we're
frequent, holding by Mason twice costing
Nebraska the possession OF the ball when
It was within hailing distance Of the Has
kell goal line. Tho Indians suffered mostly
from offside play and for interfering with
the Nebraska center before the bail was
put iu play.
Archiqueme for the Indians played brill
liantly. Practically all OF Haskell's gains
belong to his credit. Westover, the Ne
braska captain, was a stumbling block to
the redmen, and he threw back the charges
OF the opposing backs on almost every as
sault on his side OF the line. Once on the
offense the Cornhuskers' captain broke
through the Indian line and ran Atty yards
before being brought to earth. The crush
ing defeat administered to the Indians,
who are the strongest aggregation next to
Minnesota that has opposed the CornhuskeTs
this season, encourages the supporters
of Nebraska in the belief that Booths
men will go through the season without a
defeat.

In Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. III. Pierpont
Morgan and party arrived here today from
Chicago. The train was stopped at the
Detroit street crossing. where Mr.. Nor
gan and his friends alighted and we're
driven to the residence of Ralph W. Hickox
on Lake avenue.
Later in the day Senator. Hanna was a
visitor at the Hickox residence and held
a long conference with Mr., Morgan and
his associates.
At its conclusion Mir. Hanna was driven
to his office. He declined TO discuss his
interview with Mr.. Morgan. He added.
however, that the latter was simply in
the west on a railroad inspection tour.
Concerning Mr.. Morgan's visit to Chicago
and Cleveland the Evening Plain Dealer
today will say:
A report which could not be verified was
i'm circulation today that Mr.. Morgan's visit
to both Chicago and Cleveland was In con-
nection with the proposed combination OF
all the soft coal interests in the country.
For the last two years there has been a

Mr.. Morgan is credited with being largely
instrumental in. combining the Hooking
valley field in this state, while the firm OF

control of the entire output of the Massillon

II is said that constant efforts have been
quietly made recently to unite the soft coal
producers In Indiana and Illinois, and II Is
pointed out that as Mr.. Morgan is largely
