There is a Northern question, just

not a little similar. Five small states

cal conditions are such as to cause
considerable inconvenience to their
nefghbors. This contributes to the
creation of an uneasy situation. A
declaration of neutrality does not
solve the problem. The question must

ball league was in the city Thursday
on his way home from the National
association meeting in New York. He
called on President Hanover of the

President Lucas said that the small

league asked for a special class A,
it would have been granted, but no
such request was made by the rep
resentatives at the meeting.
Mr.. Lucas favors granting special
rights to class A leagues, but does
not think they should have control of
the national board, as they desire. He
also favors a rule to limit the num-

IS PLEASING TO ROOSEVELT
PRESIDENT SAYS ELECTION WAS
8. "ExTREMELY GRATIFYING"
Gives Out Statement Expressing His
y opinion-Makes Analysis
Of Vote,

Washington, Nov. S.-President
Roosevelt issued the following state
ment regarding the elections held
! Tuesday last:
The president regards the result
OF the elections as extremely graft
flying. He has sent a letter of hearty
congratulation to Mr.. Heney on the
result In San Francisco. The victory
In New Jersey was precisely what
happened nine years ago in the mid
die of President McKinley's admin
istration. He had carried New Jersey
by $4,000 and two years afterward the
Republican candidate for governor
had $500, the vote being cut down
just as happened in the case of Judge
Fort.
AS compared with elections next
preceding the last presidential cleo
ton, we have done decidedly better
than we did in 1903. Then, as Tuesday,
Rhode Island and Maryland went
against. us; but this year we have
won sweeping victory in Kentucky
for the first time since McKinley's
first election; and Massachusetts was
also remarkable. The showing in Penn
sylvania and Nebraska is equally
good. The showing in New York state
as whole was excellent, far better
than was the case prior to the last
presidential election.
THAT the result in Manhattan was
due to purely local causes is shown
by comparing it with the decisive tri-
umphs in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Albany
and in the state generally. The presi-
dents own home county Of Nassau
made a better showing than it ever
has in an off year"
"As a whole, the showing has been
an improvement over what it was four
years ago and eight years ago." the
statement concludes.

making their escape an hour later
without leaving the slightest clue.
While the two bandits worked at
the bank the others guarded the al
leys and streets. The occupants of a
hotel across the street were aroused
by the explosion but the robbers
opened fire and drove them back,
threatening to kill the first one who
appeared. The hotel was riddled with
bullets.
Where lights were burning in
homes the bandits, at the point of the
gun, forced the owners to extinguish
them. The town is terror-stricken.
