Many Ladies Present.

1t is estimated that 1000 people
were, present at the meeting, which

large number of ladies in the audience,
but the majority of those present were
qualified voters, there being among
the number some of the most promi-
nent Of the business and professional
men of Nashville The laboring class
es were also well represented, there
being probably some member of every
trade of occupation in the city m the
crowd.
The official announcement on the
part of the Anti-Saloon League, made
by DR.. Allen G. Hall. who presided,
that segregation and high license were
only to be given trials, and that the
ultimate goal of the league was a
saloonless city and state, was received
with unbounded enthusiasm. He de-
clared that 1t. was the purpose of the
element to press the fight
to accomplish this result at the next
election for representatives in the gen
eral assembly
In addition to Senator Carmack,
Senator Pendleton, of this county, the
author of the act that bears his name
was speaker. The senator briefly
outlined the history of temperance leg
slation in Tennessee, giving an in
structive account of the progress Of
he cause.

Mr.. CARMACK AT
THE AUDITORIUM
ADDRESSES 1000 OF NAsHVILLEs
LEADING CITIZENS ON STAIN
LESS FLAG DAY.
Sounds The Death kneII OF The sa-
loon, Not Only In Tennessee,
But In The Nation.

Says the Nashville Tennessean:
What was pronounced the greatest
temperance rally ever held in Nash
vile, probably the greatest ever held
in Middle Tennessee, took place yes
terday afternoon at the Ryman Audi
torium, Senator E. w. Carmack being
the chief orator. Not only was the
audience a large and enthusiastic one
but it was representative of the people
of Nashville. In the vast auditorium
there were assembled all classes and
grades of the social and business life
OF the community.
The occasion was an inspiring one;
there was manifested an enthusiasm
and determination that forecasts
anything but success for the saloon
element in the contest to eliminate
the retail liquor dealer from Nashville
soon to be inaugurated. The state
ment by Senator Carmack that God
speed the day when there shall not be
a saloon within the borders of this
proud old state" evoked most en-
thusiastic demonstration that lasted
for several seconds.
The fact that the meeting was held
under religious auspices, being opened
and closed with prayer and gospel
songs and was held on Sunday after
noon, did not prevent loud and oft
applause. The occasion not
0nly demonstrated the strength of the
temperance cause in Nashville, but it
proved the popularity of Senator Car
mack as a public speaker. He was
given the most rapt attention. and was
repeatedly interrupted with significant
applause.

PROBLEM FOR THE PARENTS.
Offer of a Wealthy Englishman to
Adopt Their Son.

NEW YORK. November 9.-An offer by
William Frederic Lawrence, a wealthy
Englishman and former member of par
lament from Liverpool, to adopt as his
son and heir G. Francklyn Lawrence, jr.
twelve-year-olds son of G. Francklyn Law
renee, a New York woolen importer, is
proving a puzzling problem to Mr.. Law
renee and his wife. He hesitates over
allowing his son to become an English
subject and to grow up with English
ideals, even to gain great wealth The
son, however. boy-like and eager for new
scenes and adventures, says he will be
glad to start for England as soon as he
gets his parents permission.
In discussing the offer and the problem
involved Mr.. Lawrence said:
I'VE want to do what is best for the
boy. and yet we are not sure what would
be the best. You see. / am an American
of the fourth generation, and / have al
ways considered myself a pretty good
sort of an American citizen. Leaving out
of consideration the thought of losing
our boy, we have to consider whether it
would not be better for him to grow up
an American than to fall into a ready
made fortune and grow up to different
ideals. In short, would 1t be best for
the boy to be an American or an English
man?
I'VE have had many family conferences
over the ma tier and 1t is far from Settlsd
yet l cannot imagine a more heart
breaking predicament for parents"

SINGLE TRACK ELEVATOR.
Excellent Chance for Increased Fa-
tality List

CHICAGO, Ill. November 9-An inven-
tion which, it is asserted will revo.u-
tioniZe elevator service in skyscraper
buildings causing a saving Of space worth
from $4,000 to S25o,G0 a year in aug
mented rents and doubling the efficiency
of the average elevator plant will be
installed soon by Architect Jarvis Hunt
in several of the largest office structures
in Chicago and New York.
The key to the invention is the opera
tion of two elevators in one shaft. With
the practical devices to he used as equip
ments for the cars, the running of two
elevators in one shaft appears to be just
as safe as the running OF one elevator
car at present in the great skyscraper
buildings of the worlds most progress
sive cities
I'VE will take for example a building
of twenty Stories" said Mr.. Hunt yester-
day in explaining, his invention. Tho
express elevators is at the first floor
loading: the local elevator directly un-
derneath 1t in the basement, not loading.
AS soon as the express or upper elevator
is loaded 1t leaves and makes its first
stop at the tenth story. Meanwhile, as
soon as the express elevator has left the
first floor the elevator from the basement
comes up to the first floor and is loaded
and it leaves the first floor at the same
time the express elevator leaves the tenth
Now, they both travel up ten floors and
serve locally. then both travel down ten
floors, serving locally The positions then
are: Express elevator at tenth floor local
at first floor. While the express ele-
vator is descending from the tenth floor
to first the local elevhtor unIoads at the
first floor and drops into the basement,
then the express elevator unloadS at the
first and the same process is repeated.
The upper elevator is never delayed.
The lower elevator is only delayed while
the upper elevator is loading or unload
ing, which n a two-minute schedule
would be about fourteen seconds.
Not only are these elevators protected
by the ordinary means. in case of acci-
dent. by safety clamps, etc, but they have
mechanism, simple and effective which
when these elevators get within prede-
termined distance of each other slows
down the elevators and at closer point
absolutely stops them, also in case Of
incorporation of machinery or breaking
of cables have positive clamps which
make 1t impossible for them TO como
closer together than a predetermined dis
tance"
