ship Virginia was rammed in Hampton
roads by the Old Dominion liner Mon
roe. Both vessels came afterward to
this port.
The Virginia sailed from Old Point
about 9 o'clock, bound for Norfolk.
Shortly afterward the Monroe came in,
following the battleship through
Hampton roads. Off Sewell's Point the
Virginia slowed down, apparen .ly, and
the Monroe Immediately rang down.
The Virginia's steering gear seemed
to have become deranged, and she
steered out of her course. The Monroe,
could not stop, nor could she change
her course III time, so she struck the
battleship on the after part Of her ar
nor belt and raked her starboard quar-
ter. The Monroe sustained bad twist
of her steel PROV, and the damage to
her may prove more serious than now
apparent.
There wers many immigrants
aboard the Monroe, and when the
slips crashed the women set up loud
cutlery. They were soon Gained.

MIMI EsoTA.

ST. PAUL, Nov. G.-Governor John.
son has been reelected governor OF
Minnesota over his republican oppon-
ent. A. l.. Cole, by a majority of at
least 10000. The Dispatch, republican,
III its midnight extra will concede this.
frank Day, chairman of the democrat
ic state central committee, claims
Johnson's election by 100000. This ma
jority for a democratic candidate is
unprecedented in Minnesota. Four
ago Van SAINT, republican, was elected
governor by a majority of $4,000.
When the complete returns are in it
would not be surprising, judging from
those already in, if Van SAINTS ma
jority would be beaten by Johnson.
1t is two years more of Johnson for
Governor of Minnesota and he has
been elected by the largest majority
ever given democratic candidate in
this state, estimated anywhere from
thirty to sixty thousand.
His victory over Cole. the republi-
can candidate. is SO decisive that early
III the evening as the returns came in
showing democratic gains of so to $50
and later of $50 votes in single pre-
cincts, the republican state central
committeeman began to admit defeat
for their candidate. AS an instance of
the great gains made by the democrat
ic candidate. seven precincts in St.
Paul which two years ago only gave
him majority of q this years gave
him 300 majority.
In AZ precincts heard from in st.,
Paul up to II p. m-Cole 3,419, John
son 5,69S. Two years ago these same
precincts gave Dun, republican. 1929.
Johnson 5,43G, a gain of 1928 this
year.
Duluth reported early in the evening
that Johnson carried St. Louis county
by 1900.
Very little accurate figures have
been received as to the makeup of the
legislature but 1t is thought to be safe
ly republican. altho at this hour-11
p. mt is said that. SHOULD Johnson's
majority be over sixty thousand. he
might carry some Of the democratic
legislative candidates in with him.

TRAFFIC IN LIVES OF BABIES.
Minister Makes Startling Statement
REGARDING IL.


Chicago, Nov. 6-Chicago is aroused
over the discovery of baby farms, so
called hospitals and homes which trat-
fic in lives of unclaimed children who
fall into their clutches. 1t is asserted
that pretty boy babies can be bought
in Chicago for a quarter and pretty
girl babies can be purchased for so
cents. The denunciation of the insti-
tutions has been started by Rev
Charles Virden at the state conference
of charities.
He claims that there are several
hundred of these baby homes in Chi
cago. ordinarily conducted by quach
doctors.
Sold as Drudges or Slaves.
Children purchased from them, hav.
ing been adjudged sound by their pur
chasers. are subsequently sold to other
parties as drudges or slaves.
DR.. Virden says: "A certain percent
age of children coming into the hands
of these so-called hospital authorities
disappear. have seen watts of quick
lime in these institutions. The propri-
etors will explain that watts and lime
are used for sanitary purposes They
lie. These watts are sufficient evidence
to tie a rope around mans neck or
send him to the penitentiary for life"

A young society woman was seated on
sofa in fashionable home. young
man in regulation evening dress suit was
in a chair opposite her. He had evidently
just made an offer of marriage TO this
beautiful girl and was waiting for the
answer Her eyes were looking into the
far distance, and there before her on his
knees, with a bloody bandage about his
forehead was the ghost of her soldier
hero with pleading face and with arms
outstretched toward her, begging his
loved one to be true to his memory. That
was a powerful picture, but no more
powerful than / see before me In many
and many an an old veterans life. I
see the old soldier sitting in the twilight
of life He too, sees two visions before
him. On the one side sits the man of
the world in evening dress. the symbol
of the sin and the selfshness and the
evil of life lie is saying to the old vet
cram: "Friend, come with me. We have
often together made merry. Come with
me-" On the other side of the old vet
eran [ see the ghost of young soldier
arising and pleading with the veteran to
be as he once was, when he went forth to
battle for your native lana, when the kiss
of a Christian mother was upon your
forehead Be like me when you used to
kneel down in simple faith and say your
prayers. Be like me when you used to

the good spirit and the bad spirit
