One thing is certain. The result of
the election in Shawnee county VIII
stand out as being the most peculiar
one in years. There was probably
more scratching of tickets done in this
county yesterday than ever before For
years Shawnee county has been looked
upon as one of the banner, rockribbed
Republican counties Of the state It
gave a majority for HOch two years
ago of more than three thousand.
Every one knew that there was a con-
siderable sentiment in the county and
especially this city for Mr.. Harris, but
those most sanguine thought that II ne

sand he would be doing handsomely.
He not only did this but he carried the
county by a good sized ma jority-
And right here is the one peculiar
feature of the election results IN this
county. Harris ran on a law enforce
ment proposition and so did Frank
Foster and it seems that the men who
gave Harris majority turned around
and voted against Foster. OF course

known as the law and order forces in
the county secured the nomination Of
Foster They did not seem able to Sc
cure his election. There is no doubt
that Foster was not popular with a
good many other candidates on the Re-
publican county ticket and with the
county organization and it is likely
that he was knitted by men who ordin-
arily will vote for a yellow dog If he
is only on the Republican ticket
It did not take a great amount Of
perpiscuity to tell yesterday that an
unusual fight was being made against
Foster. Around the polling places II
seemed as though everyone was work
ing against him, and some Of the lead
ers of the fight were those interested
in the liquor business The vote against
Foster was unusually heavy in the
North Topeka precincts and all over
the county 1t looked in a way as
though those who voted for Harris
voted against Foster.
Although the voting during the early
hours of the day was light it picked
up during the afternoon and by the
time the polls closed. about the full
registered vote had been Dolled It
was an unusually quiet election in the
county There was no trouble Of any
sort. even at the voting places in the

votes in the city precincts, was un-

This is the only Republican gain SO

Speaker Cannon received his usual
$4,000 majority and comes back to
congress for the 18th time. The fight
against Representative Dalzell of
Pittsburg, was futile, as Mr.. DalzeIl is
reelected with a reduced majority.
Mr. Wadsworth, who is chairman of
the house committee on agriculture,
was defeated by Peter A. Porter, who
announced himself first as an inde-
pendent Republican and attacked Mr..
Wadsworth's record on the meat in

by both the Democrats and Independ-
ence league.

Still in Doubt.
New York. Nov. with Incomplete
returns outside of the Greater New
York, the result of yesterdays election
in New York state aside from the head
of the ticket was still IN doubt today
At 10 o'clock this forenoon there was
a possibility that the Democrats
state ticket aside froIn governor had
been elected. All tlg Democratic state
candidates ran far ahead of William r.
Hearst in the Greater New York and
their pluralities here of approximately
100000 over their Republican oppo-
nents may have the effect of Overcom-
ing the Republican lead in up state
counties. These estimates, however.
necessarily are based upon the full
state vote for governor and depend en-
tirely upon the estimate that lesser
candidates held with Charles E.
Hughes On the face of the present
returns Mr.. Hughes came down to the
Harlem river with a lead over Hearst
of little more than 10000. While
this was sufficient to give him a lead
of considerably more than so. 900 over
Hearst, Mr.. Hughes associates have
the far greater plurality rolled up by
the remainder of the state ticket to
meet.
The closest contest undoubtedly will
be between M. Linn Bruce, Republican,
and Lewis Stuyvesant Chan1er, Inde-
pendence league and Democrat for
lieutenant governor. Chanler's plu-
raHty in the Greater New York is about

MYSTERY AS YET UNSOLVED
Detectives Trying to Fix Response

Santa Monica, Aug. 11.-ACting upon
the theory that the young woman
found murdered in Temescal canyon
was brought down the beach, officers
and detectives are cerrying. their inves-
tigation into the vicinity of Calabasas,
a few miles above here. They believe
midnight revels that have taken place
there may afford a clue to the solution
of the puzzle. The identity of the
woman with Posey Horton when he
found the body is being traced. Hor-
tons itinerary of the trip down the
beach and his return home is also be-
ing tabulated. Seach in the canyon,
after the brush in the vicinity had been
removed, added nothing TO the meager
clues. beyond confirming the theory
that the body had been sitting in the
canyon ever since death, or at least 8
few hours afterward. The laundry
marks on the garments, SO far, have
not aided in identification.
A more minute examination of the
remains of the dead woman and of her
garments has disclosed the fact that

CONSERVATION IN MILITARY
CIRCLES.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 11.-Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaievitch, president OF
the council of national defense, mar
rowIy escaped assassination yesterday
afternoon at the hands of the Imperial
guards In the guard camp at Krasnoye-
Selo.
Thus far the Associated Press has
only been able to obtain meager details
of the affair, from which it appears
that the grand duke was personally re-
viewing the maneuvering and putting
the troops through blank firing prac-
tice, when he suddenly was startled by
the wasp-like hiss of bullets about his
head. Fortunately neither himself nor
his horse was touched. The command
to cease firing was Immediately given
end the soldiers of the regiment from
which the bullets came were marched
back to their quarters and an investi-
cation begun in the hope of ascertaining
from the barrels of the rifles which of
the soldiers fired ball cartridges. Sew
eral arrests are understood to have
been made.
Plot to Assasslnate.
One of the grand dukes aides-de-
camp, who, however, was not personal
ly present, advanced the theory that
possibly the bullets were fired by acct
dent, but he considered that beyond a
doubt there was plot on the part OF
q number of disloyal guardsmen who
deliberately planned to take the grand
dukes life under cover of the general
blank cartridge firing.
TT was no more an accident" the
aide-de-camp said, than was the fir

luting battery at the Winter palace on

The bold attempt on the grand dukes
life caused an immediate change in the
plans of the emperor, who had arranged
TO go to Krasnoye-Selo today and
spend a week with the soldiers of his
imperial guards.
Impossible to Place Blame.
IT was learned that. the troops were
in extended order and engaged in vol
ley firing when the accident occurred,
rendering it difficult to determine the
regiment from which the bullets came.
The grand duke, surrounded by his Of
ficers and aides-de-camp was off on one
side of the line of fire.
The affair has created a deep impress

topic of conversation in the clubs, but
the attempt on the grand dukes life is

the subject having been published in

First battalion of the sharpshoOters of

shots were fired but the impatience of
the conspirators led them to open fire

E|GHT-HOUR LAW
IS DISREGAROED
Samuel GomperS 0utSpoken in
CritiCizing Conditions on
the ISthmuS.
OUTRAGEOUS AND BRUTAL
CHAIRMAN SHONTS PLACED IN
BAD LIGHT.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, today issued a state
ment concerning the action Of the 18TH
milan canal commission In deciding 10
introduce Chinese coolie labor to the
work of constructing the canal across
the IsthmuS of Panama. The statement
is as follows:
1T seems that those in charge of the
Panama canal construction have regard
Tor neither law nor principle. First in
the most extraordinary manner the
ei6ht-hour law is annulled in the great
est public work ever undertaken by the
government, under the pretense that
conditions there are different than they
are in the United States. 1t must APP
peal to the veriest tyro that if eight
hours work IS regarded as sufficient in
the comparatively temperate zone of
the United States, certainly, ten, eleven
and even more hours of labor a day
In the pestilential and miasmatic at
mosphere of the Panama zone are not
only improper but outrageous and
brutal.
THE existing law excludes Chinese
laborerS and coolies from the United
States or any of its possessions. The
Panama canal zone is an American pos
session and it Is as much a violation
OF the law to bring Chinese coolies
there as it is in other portions of our
country.
Some time ago in an interview l had
with Chairman Shonts, l protested
against the employment of Chinese
coolies in the Panama canal construc-
ton as has been published in the news
papers it was the intention of Mr..
Shonts to do. He there and then en-
phatically stated that it was not the
intention then to employ Chinese cool
les, and they would not be employed
under his administration"

THE work of preparing the contract
will be slow for we must comply with
the laws. In the contracts there must be
no appearance of involuntary servitude

"Chief Engineer Stevens and myself
have handled Chinese labor and we found
the men all right. They do the work
and that is the principal object We
aim to get the strong. husky laborers
