WARM WIND-UP IN OHIO
STRONG FIGHT MADE TO SECURE
CONGRESSMAN.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, November 3.-For an
"off year" the short campaign just closing
in Ohio was particularly strenuous. Prom
inent speakers from other states were
heard, and local orators were at work early
and late Carmi Thompson, republican.
and Samuel A. Hoskins, democrat, lead
their respective tickets as candidates for
secretary of state, and as both have frank
ly approved decent temperance legislation.
less attention has been paid to the issue
which decided the goyernorship one year
ago.
The real contest however. has been on
representatives. Secretary of the Treas
ury Shaw, Secretary of War Taft, Vice
President Fairbanks, Senators Beveridge,
Foraker and others urged the election OF
republican representatives to support Pres
ident Roosevelt's policies. William ].
Bryan, on the other side, maintained that
President Roosevelt had adopted democratic
principles and that a democratic House
would most properly sustain him.
In general, however. the democrats
dwelt on state and local issues, while the
republicans discussed national questions.
OF the local contests, that in Hamilton
county for judges was probably the most
bitter the democrats being assisted by a
citizens municipal party in what they
called an "anti-boss" campaign, directing
their attack on George B. Cox, the repub-
lican leader who announced his retire
ment after last years election. The labor
unions in several congressional districts
opposed those representatives whose votes
in Washington met their disapproval
An interesting and popular feature of the
campaign was the attendance of Mrs Alice
Roosevelt Longworth at the various meet
ings throughout tie state where her hus-
band. Representative Longworth, was one

CASE BROUGHT TO CLOSE.
Police Trial Board to Report Findings
to the Commissioners.

The investigation of the alleged derellction
of Capt. Mathews and Lieut.. Mulhal of the
fourth precinct police at the scene Of the
accident at 9th street and Maryland avenue
southwest when Engineer Hugh Murphy of
the Southern railway was caught under his
overturned engine and fatally injured was
concluded yesterday afternoon before the
police trial board sitting at the first pre-
cinct police station.
The arguments of counsel for both sides
occupied about three hours. Attorney Ed
mund Burke opened for the prosecution.
He stated that there was no malice In the
prosecution, but that the broad question
was whether the police could keep back
experienced men from the scene of such
an accident as had been under investigation.
In conclusion. Mr.. Burke declared that one
hundred thousand railroad men are look
ing to the board to give them their rights.
Mr.. James S. Easby-Smith for the de-
Tense opened with the statement: Il want
to say that the police in the future will act
as they did at the accident under investi-
CATION. This Is a message I want to send
the chief OF the fire department shall be
in command. and SO. he was at this acci-
dent"
Continuing, Mr.. Easby-Smth said he
wanted the members of the trial board to
decide on the testimony of disinterested
persons and for that reason he had not
introduced the defendants.
In conclusion, he declared Take their
word and not that of these disgruntled
railroad men,"
The hearing was later brought to an end
when Attorney Charles Bendheim closed
for the prosecution.
The case will be reported by the trial
board through the office of Major Sylvester
to the District Commissioners, when the
findings will he made public.

BOTH CLAIM MISSOURI
STATE CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN
VERY CLOSE.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November s-The state
campaign ended tonight with both demo-
cratic and republican parties putting forth
such strong claims that the result of the
election cannot be forecasted with any con-
siderable degree of accuracy.
The ticket to be elected comprises two
judges of the supreme court, railroad and
warehouse commissioner, state superintend-
ent of public schools, sixteen congressman
and a full state legislature, with the ex-
ception of seventeen holdover senators.
At the democratic state central commit
tee headquarters it is claimed the state will
be carried by a democratic majority of be-
tween &c. 600 and 40,0 votes. A republican
majority Of from Is, 600 to 10000 votes in
the state is the claim made at the repub-
lican state central committee headquarters.
Election results in st. Louis, Kansas
City and st. Joseph are doubtful, but in
pdications are that the democrats will carry
Kansas City and st. Joseph and that st.
Louis will go republican.

KENTUCKY PROSPECTS.
Little Likelihood Of Change in the
Delegation.

LOUISVILLE, KY, November 3.-The
situation in Kentucky as regards the con-
gressional races offers no certainty of any
change Of the present representation Of
nine democrats and two republicans. How
ever, the republicans say they will gain
the third and the fifth districts, the latter
consisting of Louisville and Jefferson coun-
ty. In any event, these two districts
promise to be close.
The races for governor and United States
senator to succeed McCreary in the demo-
cratic primary, which will be held on cleo
ton day, are much befogged by deals and
rumors of deals between candidates in the
two races The result in both cases seems
to hinge on the size of the majorities given
in the first and the fifth districts.
Gov Beckham is credited with a slight
advantage over Senator McCreary for the
senatorship, and S. w. Hager probably has
better prospects than N. B. Hays for the
governorShip.

EEK OF ACTIVITY
ENDEAVOR OF. WASHINGTON TO
EXTEND ITS TRADE.
Active Competitors Entering the
Southern Field-Star's Offer
of Fare Refund.

The present week promises to be one of
activity for the Greater Washington work.
ers, according to Mr.. Woodwork Clum, as
sistant secretary of the Jobbers and Ship
pers' Association. He has been looking into
the boom proclivities Of some Of the not
very far distant cities and the efforts of
their leading business men to corral the
trade of the south. One of the active COM
petitors of Washington is said to be Rich
mond, Va, which city, 1t is stated, has
awakened to the fact that the field of the
south is ripe for trade advantages and her
leading men are preparing to enter the
field.
1t has also been observed that Baltimore
and Philadelphia are preparing to do things
in the south, and that even far-aWay BoS-
ton has trade intentions toward Dixie and
is making great preparations to have big
and comprehensive exhibit at the James
town exposition. In view Of these things
Mr.. Clum sounded a brief but significant
note of warning last night when he said:
1.-THE District merchants and manufac-
turers must get a hustle on or they'll get
left"
The merchants Of the middle states and
the east have come to a realization, 1t is
said. of the fact that the market of the
south is as yet an open field for trade COM
petition. That the buyers there are recep-
tive in the matter of new depots of supply,
as 1t were, and that the city that gets in
first with the best advantages and prices
will reap tho reward.
Inviting Inspection.
One Of the considerations is said to be to
get the merchants Of the surrounding coun-
try and the south to come to Washington
and look over the local field. as well as to
meet the fair minded and progressive busi-
ness men here and the promoters of the
enlarged commercial idea. and that then
one-half of the battle will have been won.
The Star Is lending its efforts to this prof.
ect by It's liberal proposition for the refund
Of the railroad fare of merchants who
come here and actually purchase bill Of
goods from certain merchants who are
lending their efforts toward a Greater
Washington. The Stars offer is fully given

How It is Done.

"a man or a woman, very often a mere
boy or GIRL Is arrested by the polce-of
course without any warrant from magis-
trate," says the prince. I'VE have three
different police bodies in Russia-the local
ordinary police, the state police Chat Is,
the gendarmes) and the 'Okhrana' (protec-
tion)-that is, the secret organization Of
paid police officers and army officers In
troduced for the protection of the car and
the higher functionaries; 1t was this body
which had established lately at st. Peters
burg their own printing office, and issued
from it proclamations appealing for the
wholesale massacre of the Jews and or
the intellectuals' Well, one of these
three separate police bodies, or rather
some subaltern officer OF one or them,
makes up his mind that 1T would be bet
ter to arrest this or that person, and he
arrests him or her without any further
formality. At this very moment thousands
of men and women Of all conditions and
ages are arrested in this way every day.
An address found on somebody during
searching, the report Of third-class In
ferior spy or the guessing of an Okhrana'
officer are quite sufficient. The victim is
locked up and often mercilessly beaten II
he or she objects to the arrest
And now comes the question: What Is to
be done with these scores Of thousands of
prisoners? All prisons. all lockups and
even occasionally the municipal hospitals
and lunatic asylums are filled with them.
How to find room for those new thousands
which may be brought in the next few
days is a problem To bring them before
magistrate would be utterly impossible, be-
cause if 1t Is easy to write ARRESTED In
virtue of article 1897 felony. there would
be, in nine cases out of ten, no earthly pos
sib.ity Of substantiating the accusation, or
even of giving it any concrete form, if the
affair had to be brought before any sort Of
court or Judge.

How Raids Are Planned.


Special Cablegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG. November 3.-Pre-
mier Stolypins policy of divide and rule
causes considerable confusion in the scat
tered ranks of the revolutionists. His ac-
ton IN drawing a wide distinction between
the Maximalist wing of the socia..se revo-
utionist and workman socialist revolution
list drives q wedge into the mass which
favors an immediate revolution by ply
steal force. Among the eight persons
hanged for the raid on the treasury van
were some whom it is not supposed actua.iy
hit anybody. but their membership in the
Maximalists. which conducted the raid and
their presence on the spot with revolvers
was decided to be sufficient ground for their
immediate execution.
The seizures made at the apartments OF
the terrorist Rosenberg show that the Max
imahsts, whose title may be regarded as
being derived from the policy Of inflicting
the maximum wreckage upon the govern
mcnt, reorganized units Of ten. Each ten
has a chief who co-operates with ten other
chiefs of ten. The chief Of these latter il

pinned followers, although he personally

Rosenberg was regarded as centurion OF

horses carriage and collection OF uniforms.
some of which were those worn by civil
dignitaries when attending receptions. show
ed that he had ample material for conduct
ing revolutionary robberies and assassina-
tions on the highest scale.
In striking contract to the fate OF the
Maximalists the government has treated
the leaders Of the revolutionary workmen's
council with the utmost moderation. The
prosecutor announced that he did not ask
for sentences involving any kind of convict
labor The result was that fifteen leaders
were sent to reside within the boundaries
of some remote province accompanied by
their families. A couple Of the other ac-
cused men must sit idly in the Petropav-
losk FORTRESS for few months, like an edi-
tor who has disobeyed some census regula-
ton, and the remaining dozen were set free
to return to their st. Petersburg comrades.
Yet these st. Petersburg comrades approve
absolutely the Maximalists propaganda.
They realize that their own inability this
year to strike an effective blow while Pre-
mier Stolypin orders the unflinching exter-
mination of the Maximalists may convert
the latter back into mere nihilist fanatics.

LONDON, November 3.-Prince Kropot-
kin. who is now living in England, has
written a letter In which he makes terri
Bile revelations regarding the system of
administrative exile now being carried
on in Russia. The conditions as described
by Prince Kropotkin are worse than those
which prevailed in the darkest years of the
reigns of Alexander II or Alexander III.
Prince Kropotkin says from time to time
dispatches from Russia mention that
"trainloads of exiles' are sent admins
tratively to Siberia or to the far north of
European Russia; but surely no west
European reader can imagine what these
words really mean, nor the tragedies they
conceal administrative exile" that Is,
transporting to a remote part of the en-
pire by mere order of somebody of the
administration, is a purely Russian institu-
ton.
