ELECTION Law IS UPHELD
DECISION OF CLEVELAND CIR
CUT COURT REVERSED.
Supreme Court Decides Polls in the
Two Principal Cities Must
Close at Four P. M.

Columbus, O., Nov 5.-The supreme
court Friday reversed the decision of
the circuit court in Cleveland, in the
matter of the validity of that clause of
the election law providing for the clos
ing of the polls at four D. m. in cities of
over 100000 population, and voting will
be stopped in Cleveland and Cincinnati
at four p. m. on election day. Four
members of the court sat in this case,
chief Justice Spear and Judge Price not
sitting.
Suit was brought by Cleveland dem
ocrats to compel the polls to be kept
open until half-past five o'clock on elec-
tlon day, on the ground that closing
the polls at four o'clock would not give
Workmen and others time enough to vote
In the two cities Observation-Disclosures
and Cleveland.
Inc decision means that the regular
election law has been upheld and that
the leaders of both parties in Cleveland
and cincinnati will be compelled to
make their usual efforts to get the vote
out and cast by four o'clock. Both
democrat and republican state leaders
here say that the decision is satisfac-
tory to them.

DYING BOY TO BE HANGED.
Consumptive, II Years Old, Who Bru-
tally Murdered Hunter, Sem
fenced to Gallows.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 5.-John Kay.
aged II, has been found guilty of MUIR
der and sentenced to be hanged January
II. The boy is in the last stages OF
consumption and it is probable that he
will never live to be hanged. The crime
for which Kay is sentenced was particu-
larly cold-blooded. He went to shack
occupied Bly, John Spittal, a hunter.
Spittal was absent and Kay started to
steal his rifle, and shotgun. Spittal re-
turned and tie boy shot him dead. He
dragged the body into the cabin, placed
blankets over it, exchanged his own
coat and hat for those of the murdered
man and started out with the guns.
These he sold in Vancouver. The evil
dence was purely circumstantial. It was
a month and half after the crime be-
fore the body was found.

Chief JUSTICE MAY RESIGN
HON. MELVILLE w. FULLER SAID
TO PLAN SUCH ACTION.
Will Retain Office Until After March
4-secretary Taft May
Succeed Him.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Chief Justice
Melville w. Fuller, Of the supreme
court of the United States, plans, it is
said, to resign his office on March S,
1913, the day after he has administered
the oath of office to the next president.
If President Roosevelt is elected, it
is reported to be his plan to offer the
post OF chief justice to William H.
TAFT, secretary of war. There is no
official confirmation of these reports.
Chief Justice Fuller will be Y years
old February II, 1905, and will then
be entitled to retire from the bench on
a salary of $10,500 year as long as
he lives. The recent death of his wife
contributes to his desire to spend the
remaining days of his life free from
official responsibilities. No chief JUS
tice Of the supreme court has ever re-
signed. All have died on the bench.
Chief Justice Fuller has administered
the oath of Office to four presidents
Harrison, Cleveland and Mckinley, the
latter twice. He was appointed chief
justice on April 80. 1888.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

A war scare was caused in Great Brit
ain by the departure of the Russian
feet from Vigo and alarmist reports
from Gibraltar, but it developed the
British feet had no orders to stop them
from sailing. Russia detached four
subordinate officers from Rojestven-
sky's ships and guaranteed before they
sailed that none will repeat North sea
affair. The officers detached will testi-
fly before the court of inquiry.
The verdict of the coroner's jury at
Hull, England, is that George Henry
Smith and William Loggett, of the
Gamecock fleet, were killed by shots
fired without warning or provocation
from Russian warships.
The government of Germany is in full
sympathy with the proposal of the Unit
ed States for treaty of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Germany,
and there seems no doubt that treaty
will be arranged.
1t is stated that the Philippine COM
mission has granted the right of emf
nent domain in the islands to railroad
companies holding charters.
Great Britain and Russia have agreed
to ask the United States and France to
appoint naval officers on the court that
is to investigate the North sea affair.
In the dominion elections the liberals
swept Canada and Sir Wilfrid Laurier
was sustained, Borden, the conservative
leader, being overwhelmingly crushed
in his own province, Nova Scotia.

WINS GRATITUDE OF ITALY.
Generous AGion of J. Piernonf Mor-
gan in Returning Stolen
Cope.

New York, Nov. 5.-The report that
the ancient ecclesiastical cope which
was stolen from the cathedral of AS
coli, Italy, two years ago, and later
purchased by ]. Pierpont Morgan, had
been presented to the Italian govern
ment by Mr.. Morgan, is confirmed.
The presentation was made through
Baron Edmondo Des Planches, the Ital-
ian ambassador, who called by appoint
ment on Mr.. Morgan in this city Thurs
day. The cope is now in the Victoria and
Albert museum at South Kensington,
England, to which it was loaned by Mr..
Morgan.
The cope was presented by Pope
Nicholas " to Ascoli his native place.
1t is French work of the thirteenth
century and is one of the finest specl-
mems of fetal art of that period that
have been preserved. 1t was in 1902
that the cope was stolen from the ca
thedral of Ascoli while repairs were be-
ing made on the building. Every effort
to trace it or discover the thieves failed
until last July, when letter appeared
in the Giornale DItalia from Signor
Ricci, the director of the galleries OF
Florence, saying that the cope was on
exhibition at the South Kensington mu-
scum, where it appeared as the property
of "a well-known American collector,
A month later sensation was caused
at Ascoli when Mgr Sanlarelli, the
rector, and several priests were sum-
moned to appear before the court which
was investigating the theft of the cope.
Two days later Rockingham, photog-
rapher, who had been arrested in con-
nection with the case, committed suicide
by hanging in his cell. Rockingham
left note, stating that he was inno-
cent and intimating that the real thief
was one high in Italian circles. The.
search for the culprit or culprits has
since been conducted with considerable
care, but no trace has been obtained.

New York, Nov. ga thick blanket
OF fog which settled down over New
York city and harbor during the nj ht,
seriously disarranged traffic, both by
land and water early Friday, and re-
suited in at least one serious accident
when the East river ferryboat Column
fla was run into and sunk. All of
Eer passengers were saved, but a num-
Ter of horses, which were being taken
across the river, went down with the
beat, and were lost. There were about
$50 passengers and II teams on board
the Columbia at the time Of the acct
dent. All of the passengers were taken
OFT in safety, but eight or ten horses
were drowned. The city of Lowell was
coming down the river, and in the
dense fog struck the Columbia amid
ships, just clear of the paddle wheel.
The Columbia. foated around for
awhile, and began to settle. A hawser
was thrown from the City of Lowell
and the Columbia made fast, and all
the passengers, SO far as known, were
taken on board the steamboat Later
the hawser parted in some unaccount-
able manner, and the Columbia finally
sank near one Of the slips of the Union
terry company, on the Brooklyn side.
On the harbor and in the rivers
c1aft of all kinds moved only with the
greatest care, and delay was evident in
every quarter. In. the city the ele-
waited and surface cars suffered seri-
GUS delay, and schedules were practi-
cally abandoned. On the elevated lines
the dense fog made it impossible for
the engineers to distinguish signals at
any distance, and as a consequence
the trains, which usually make fast
time during the rush hours. were
driven very slowly, and thousands of
persons were late in reaching the
downtown districts.

defeating George E. Foster, finance
minister under Sir John Macdonald.
MIR. Foster was elected in the north
riding of Toronto, and it is said in
view of the defeats Of r. L. Borden, in
Halifax, he may assume the conserva-
tive leadership.
The most remarkable feature of the
contest was the defeat of Borden, the
conservative leader, in his own city
of Halifax and the failure of the con-
servatives of Nova Scotia to return a
single member His failure to carry
a single seat in his own province may
mean his retirement to private life.
A report is in circulation that as
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's health is not of
the best, he will retire before many
months and transfer the premiership
to w. S. Fielding, of Halifax, his
finance minister.

Fatal Riot.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 5.-In a riot
which occurred mile east Of Egypt,
near this city, Friday one man was
killed and three probably fatally in
jured. A man named Dean was foreman
of the construction gang for the Roches-
ter & Syracuse Trolley company at that
point. He ordered the men, all Italians,
to get into the swamp further, but they
refused because they had no high boots.
Dea1 insisted. This angered the men,
who attacked him with knives while
his back was turned. Dean turned and
began shooting at the men. One Italian
was instantly killed, another fatally
wounded and it is said there is another
dead Italian in the swamp. Dean, it is
said, cannot live.
