TAXES SEVEN YEARS ID BUILD

Washington. November 1.-The members of the isthmian canal board who acting as subcommittee, have been charged with the preparation of plans for d lock canal. met again today and progressed so well with their work that they now expect to be able to present a report to the full board at it's meeting next Tues day.
 Some astonishing figures illustrative of the magnitude of this undertaking have developed in the course of the work For instance, at the Culebra cut. under the lock project, one of the several series of locks required to lift the great ocean liners to the highest level of the canal will be made up of compartments ag- gregating in length 300 feet, or more than two-thirds of a mile. and each lock must be three hundred feet broad. Some idea of the water pressure on these locks and their dimensions may be gained from tho fact that one set of gates would be ninety feet high, 150 broad and weigh 1,80O,000 pounds. The board estimates that at least seven years will be occupied in the Construction of these locks.

 Court.
FIGHT IN BALDWIN COUNTY

Montgomery, November 4.-Judge Sam uel R. Browne, of the Thirteenth judicial circuit, in a letter to Gov. w. D. Jelks today, requested that military assistance be rendered to carry out the orders of his court.
 Judge Browne has been attempting 10 hold court in Daphne in Baldwin county. Sheriff Armstrong and Circuit Clerk Voltz have refused to attend the court contending that Bay Minette Is the le- gal capital of the county. Judge Browne each day at Daphne has assessed penal ties against Armstrong and Voltz Tor their failure to attend court Each Is at nresent fined $600 and sixty days in the Mobile county jail.
 Coroner Mckenzie was sent to Bay Mi- nette by Judge Browne to effect the arrest of the sheriff and circuit court clerk The latter could not be found and Sheriff Armstrong declined to submit to arrest. denying the validity of the war rant cited on each by the coroner.
 The request by the court was then made for state troops to assist In taxing Armstrong and Voltz into custody. cover ner Jelks has declined to order out troops as he Is of the opinion that the situation Is not of sufficient importance to Justify such action.
 The trouble arises from a contest be- tween Daphne and Bay .h.nette TOT the court house of Baldwin county.

Race Issue In Maryland.

Baltimore. November 1.-The election In Maryland next Tuesday is for comp troller of the state treasurer, the legisla- ture and county officers and in Baltimore for judge of the supreme court, sheriff, city court clerk and surveyor. The main issue of the campaign which practically closed tonight is the proposed constitu- tional amendment, the avowed purpose of which is to disfranchise the illiterate ne- gro voters. One of the clauses of this amendment provides that to be qualified to vote a person must be "able to read any section of the constitution of this state submitted by the officers of regis tration, and to give a reasonable explana- tion of the same to the registration of ficer
 This provision has been vigorously op- posed by a large number of democrats. including Governor Warfield, Attorney General Bryan and United States Senator Raynor as opening the way to fragrant abuses, with the result that many demo- crats, including independents and regu- lars, have openly joined the republicans in opposing the amendment Apparently the foreign vote in Baltimore which has hitherto been divided between the two parties will be cast almost solidly with the republicans. Such has been the in- tenstty of the fight over this proposed

Chairman Dick Is Confident.

Columbus. O.. November 4-Chairman Charles Dick today gave out the follow Ing ante-election predictions:
 Based upon the final poll reported by the county chairman from the S8 coun- ties of the state, every doubtful vote having been counted against us and every statement made upon the most conserva- tive line net a republican plurality of 83 ,951 is shown for Governor Herrick.
 Tn my experience, covering many state campaigns, actual republican pluralities have exceeded. rather than fallen below results indicated by the poll, and I have every confidence that this will be the case at the election next Tuesday
 "The same reports also justify the claim that the legislature will be strongly re- publican in both branches"

tison, the democratic nominee for gover nor, will carry the state by 36O00 plur- ality. Chairman Garber says:
 "A careful analysis of the situation 4S hours before the voting starts, and based on polls and reports from the best and most harmonious organizatio the demo- cratic party has had for twenty years in all the counties of the state, together with opinions from prominent and best informed republicans in all the counties, justifies me, chairman, in making the unqualified statement that Mir. Pattison will carry Ohio by 36.0OO plurality over Herrick on the expressed vote. My opin- ion, however, Is that Mir. Pattison will receive the largest plurality ever recorded for any man in Ohio with the exception of MT. Roosevelt. This is based upon the thousands and thousands who refused to express themselves when the poll was taken. The legislature will contain majority friendly to MT. Pattison."

Peculiar Fight in Ohio.

Columbus. O., November 4.-The cam paign just drawing to close has been peculiar for Ohio. Dignified declarations on tariff, railroad rates. municipal owner ship of public utilities, initiative and re- ferendum, and the administration of state offices were adopted at the party con- ventions and then speedily forgotten or overlooked in the bitter denunciations and personal attacks that characterized the campaign. Saloons and their regulation. horse racing and pool selling, the use of the veto power, insurance manage ment and legislation and political boss ism were the chief themes for discussion, with occasional discussions of railroad rates and references to the tariff.
 Only two outsiders of national reputa- ton appeared and their stay was brief. Secretary Shaw made a number of speeches at different points, while Gov ernor Folk of Missouri addressed four mass meetings in support of the deme-

heen subjected to many queries as to ms nossible action on any insurance legis- iation. the general insurance agitation aroused byNthe New York investigation being used indirectly against him.
 While many of the church people who have been heretofore allied with the Re- publicans have declared against Governor Herrick, there have come endorsements of the Republican candidate from the State Liauor Dealers and Brewers asso- ciations, who declared that they approved the governors s attempt to treat all classes with equal fairness.
 Attack on Political Bosslsn.
 Another phase of the campaign and one having it's particular complications has been the attack on political bossism. This was particularly directed against Geo. B. Cox the Republican leader in Hamilton county and in addition to the speaking campaign against him, a noted eastern cartoonist was imported and cartoons against "bossism'' have been published in the opposition press throughout the state. Although the Republicans generally main tained that this was a Cincinnatti matter and should not be allowed to affect the state ticket the Democrats claimed that Herrick was subject to ''The Boss" and to complicate matters further Secretary Taft in his Akron speech supporting Re- publican policies. criticised the methods attributed to the Cincinnatti leader. As a result interest In the outcome in Cincin- natti is only second to that on the state ticket.
 With these many complications and bit- terness the campaign has been filled and most of the political prophets refuse to make predictions. although in a general way each claims. certain victory for his own party.

 The conservative view at the end of the campaign is that Baltimore will give a large majority. which is not likely to be overcome in the counties.
