BLOWS OUT THE GAS
AND IS ASPHYX|ATED
Ltnmbefman From Everett,
WASH, Meets Death Acct.
dentaIIy in ST. Paul.

Ignorance of the result of blowing
out the gas was apparently RESPONSE
BILE for the death of j. +. WALL lum-
herman, about fifty years of age. at
the Great Northern, 1874 East Third
street, Wednesday night.
Wall registered at the hotel at 6
o'clock in the evening and after send
ing his baggage, consisting of two
large grips, up to his room, he went
out for an hour or two. On returning
to the house he was shown to his room
by Henry Miller, the night clerk. Wall
thanked him and on being asked if he
wanted to be called, said that it was
not necessary.
AT the usual hour yesterday morning
the chambermaid knocked on the door
and receiving no reply thought that
the man was probably still asleep and
went away. She returned two or three
times during the day and at last be-
coming alarmed she called the propri-
etor, H. C. Johnson, and told him that
she had called the man several times
during the day and thought something
must be wrong.
Johnson, after trying to unlock the
door, looked through the tranSom and
saw that Wall was dead, and on open
ing the transom the odor that imme-
diately filled the corridor showed that
Wall had been aspfXiated..
Had Been Dead Several Hours.
The door was broken open and the
police surgeon summoned, and he
found that the man had been dead
several hours. Coroner Miller was. no
tilted and examined the clothes and
baggage of the dead man for any clue
pointing to possible suicide. In the
coat were several letters from sister
in Everett, Wash, frorn which place
Wall had been heard to say that he
had come to ST. Paul Three slips
dealing with the sale of timber indI-
Gated that Wall was a Iunlberman. In
his trousers pocket was s7e. His
clothes were all new and of superior
quality. The two grips which he had
taken into the hotel with him were
filled with worknan's clothes. A gold
watch with his name inscribed on the
back was found under his pillow.
Although there was both gas and
electric light in the room he seems to
have lighted the gas in preference. to
the electric light, for he was heard
striking matches in the room and as
there was ne evidence that he had
been smoking, he had evidently used
them to light the gas. The gas Geek
could only be turned with difficulty
and the man evidently blew out the
7 light and got into bed.
The coroner gave 1T as his opinion
| that it was clear case OF accidental
death The body was removed to the
morgue and the relatives Informed OF
his death.

NEW HIGH SCHOOLS
Commercial Club Committee
Submits Adverse Report.

The committee on education of the
Commercial club has made its report
to the board of directors on the school
question, and the directors will formal
ly consider the report at the Tuesday
session.
In line with the remarks made by the
chairman of the committee, Judge j..
w. Willis, at the Tuesday evening
meeting, the report opposes the cree
ton of a new high school on st. An
thony hill, is against the erection OF a
new and large Central high school, ia
yors the maintenance of the existing
high schools, and urges that the high
school question should be solved as
the situation demands. This means
that Just sufficient additions should be
made to the present buildings to ac-
commodate the increasing number of
pupils.
The grades, it is urged, should be
cared for in the best possible manner,
needed repairs made to existing build
ings and new buildings or additions
added where the congestion is the
greatest. The figures regarding the
condition of the grade schools, recent
ly printed in T h e Globe. are repro
duced and commented upon, being Civ
en- as asreason for the grades being ia
vored above the high schools.
The report will be welcomed by those
faxering the retention of the Cleveland
and Humboldt high schools, as it is
clearly in their favor and can be used
by them to excellent advantage.

sides Judge Willis, are DIR. Justus

Electoral
States


Senator Scott, in his estimate,
classed as surely republican states
having total electoral vate Of 231.
He comedies to the democrats only
I66 electoral votes. In his statement
Senator Scott declares:
"Briefly, the outlook could not be
more encouraging. I believe that
Judge Parker will be beaten as badly
as Greeley was in 1872. shall go fur
ther and predict that Roosevelt's
popular majority will be greater than
that of Mckinley over Bryan in 1896
or in 1900:
New York state will, in my opin-
ion, give Roosevelt majority rang
ing from $4,000 to 5000 votes. l
do not believe that the democrats
majority for Parker, south of the
Bronx, will exceed 10000, it is be so
large while Roosevelt's majority up
state should be at least 10000, and
it may greatly exceed that figure.
New Jersey and Connecticut are as
safely republican as Massachusetts,.
There is not doubtful state in that
group, known as the middle west
and in this group I include also In
diana. which will give Roosevelt a
majority Of 2o,ooo-while the Pacific
slope California, Oregon and Wash
ington) will register record-breaking
majorities.
The intermountstn states are nat
uraily republican, and have returned
to their former party allegiance. l
believe that every one of them-Colo-
rado, Utah, Idaho, Montano-will
cast their vote solidly for Roosevelt,
Maryland is debatable ground with
an even chance for our carrying it.
IF any doubt existed that West
Virginia would remain in the repub-
lican column it has been removed"
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1904-10-25

The democratic managers assert
that there are many reasons why
Parker will carry all these states.
They base their estimates largely on
the claims that the independent vote
OF the entire country will go to the
democratic candidate.
Further than this the leaders count
much on the. labor vote. They say
that it will go largely for Parker on
account Of the many strikes and gen.
orally disturbed conditions for the
past two years.
According to the estimate OF the
democratic leaders Parker will carry
this state by a plurality of from 3o,-
600 to 10000, while some of the more
optimistic are confident that Herrlck
will carry the state by 100000. In
this estimate they reckon on Roose-
yelt coming down to the Harlem
with about $1,000 plurality and Par
ker carrying the city by at least 49,
900.
The democratic managers count On
carrying Connecticut. All OF the IN
dependent and gold democrat vote is
said to be in line for Parker.
Democrats scout the republican
claim that New Jersey will give
Roosevelt a plurality of 1900. They
say this claim is based on the vote OF
four years ago, and that conditions
are totally changed.
The labor vote is expected to carry
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and
Idaho for Parker, West Virginia:
Maryland and Delaware are reckoned
as Parker states.
The democratic leaders are not say
ing much about Wisconsin, but they
have strong hopes for the state.

Il am largely responsible for the
dispensary law, not as it exists and
is enforced today, but in its original
form and purpose. In 1892 when the
question of prohibition was strongly
advocated it was thought wiser not
to allow the issue to be injected, not
the political campaign. Accordingly
it was arranged that at the general
election a special box should be
placed at every voting precinct, so
that every man might express himself
as favoring prohibition OF License.
There were $4,000 votes for prohi-
bition, $4,000 for license, ard about
10000 did not vote at all. A prohi-
bition bill passed the house. My
truest conviction was then and is now
that prohibition is not practicable,
does not prohibit. I took the bill,
added to it and struck out, having
before me prohibition laws Of other
states. The law in its shape was
impracticable and incapable of being
executed; in it's place proposed the
original dispensary law as a COM
promise measure, promising the pro-
hibitionists that | would enforce the
law. This I did while governor IN
the face of almost insurmountable OBJ
stacles. The dispensary' law put
about 375 barroons out of business
with all their enticing and allurln8
features. By putting the sale OF
liquor in the hands Of state officers,
salaried and bonded, it has removed
the personal profit feature OF liquor
selling which is responsible for so
much evil. Under the dispensary
law there is no incentive for the dis
penser to encourage the buying Of Ii
quor. The dispensary is not so at
tractive as was the barroom with rs
gilded furniture, red lights and cut
glass. The dispensary closes at sun
down and for half day you have ab-
solute prohibition. I am not claim
ing to favor the profit feature Of the
law. but as it stands your town and
county gets considerable revenue
from the profits of the dispensary.
This is for you to consider whether
or not you are willing by additional
tax to supply the loss of these profits.
