no success. Mrs. Green says that the
only person in the car was the porter, but
the latter denies this. Mrs. Green says
that she looked at her watch at 9:l0, and
returning from the lavatory, wanted again

the watch aud rings was discovered.
The officer here opened every vallse on
the train and turned every berth upside
down without avail.

DIES MONIES. Iowa. Oct. 29.-Artist
E. E. Garnsey, who is decorating the
Minnesota state capitol, is assisting the
Iowa capitol commission to defend an
injunction suit brought to prevent en-
tering into a contract with him to dec
crate the state capitol, disclosed some
sensational figures concerning his work
in Minnesota. Taxpayers here seek to
enjoin the commission from employing
Mr.. Garnsey on the ground that the
price is excessive.
Mr.. Garnsey was cross examined
concerning his Minnesota work as a
pretext of getting at the amount he
figured for his profit and reputation.
He testified that during the Minnesota
job he would hire during the year re-
quired to complete the work employees
on the average that would figure a to-
tai cost for labor s49.500. Local artists
testified that material is figured at Is
per cent of the labor, and this show
ed his actual expense to be s56,925,
whereas his contract called for $125,

WILL BRIDGE
Army Engineers to Examine
Smelling Vladuct


Engineering experts of the general
staff of the army will submit the Fort
Smelling bridge to a rigid examination
and report as to its capacity for the
uses to which it is to be submitted BY
the Fort Smelling war establishment.
Congressman F. C. Stevens was adj
vised yesterday of the action of the
general staff in detailing engineers to
make the examination of the bridge.
The report will be submitted to the
general staff at Washington, with
recomme endation.
On the occasion of Gen. A. r. Chat
fees visit of inspection to the West
ern army posts last summer his atten-
ton was, called to the bridge across the
Mississippi at Fort Smelling at Sew
enth street. He made personal in
vestigation, and the detail of the er1e
gineers is laid to his interest in the
matter. 1t Is understood that the
question of the ability of the bridge
to carry heavy traffic arose out of the
proposed action Of the war department
to assign cavalry regiment to Fort
Smelling. Its use by cavalry will be
more severe strain on the bridge than
ordinary traffic.

A showing that will surprise the poll
iticians and discount all estimates of
the political outcome in Ramsey coun-
ty resulted from the registration yes
terday, when 1912 male voters regis
tered, bringing the grand total UP to
S1,s14.
This means that there will be 1000
more votes cast than was estimated by
the Democratic committee, and 5000
more than the Republicans considered
the top notch. With the 10000 votes
that will be cast it will be necessary
for candidate who is to be elected to
poll a greater vote than has heretofore
been received by successful aspirant
for the favor of the public.
Two years ago. when interest in the
contest for governor was intense, the
registration was 26,210, and this was
considered a high water mark. Yes
terday's showing came as complete
surprise to even those who have kept
close track of the political trend, re-
sulting in persistent speculation as to
what the great increase in the voting
strength of st. Paul means.
Explanation of Increase
1t was considered that without doubt
much of the increase was due to the
interest in the gubernatorial contest,
yet it was conceded that the firemen
and policemen who had spent the day
in an effort to get out the voters were
also largely responsible for the in
crease And the nature of the vote, its
political affiliations and all that per-
tains to the probable course of those
who do not usually vote in elections.
prove an interesting theme for dis
cussion.
The rapid increase in the population
of the city was also shown. Much of
the increase in the registration. comes
from suburban sections that are rap

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Secretary

Parker is already practically elect
ed. We are confident that he will get
ESQ voters and hope he will get many
more. We will carry New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Mary
land, West Virginia, Idaho, Colorado,
Utah and Nevada. The Republicans
are sure they are going to carry Ohio,
but we are not so sure. In fact, it
would not surprise me greatly if Par
ker should carry the state. The death
of Mark Hanna, Charles Foster and
eX-Gov. Nash weakened the Repub-
lican party greatly in Ohio and the
Democrats have been,<doing fine work
there Every county and township in
the state is organized and our lead
ers assert that We have good chance
of carrying the state.
"The Republicans also think they
have California solid, but they may
find themselves mistaken. We have
done some hard work in that state and
are hopeful of carrying it. We will
carry New York by over $4,000 plu-

Combes provides for a period of transit

clergy an indemnity of 400 francs, for
