A. |. BROOKS DEFEATED.
HOfehead Receives Majority Vote Ci
Fifth CohdFessIGnal District.

The friends of Hon. A. L.
Brooks were disappointed when
it was learned that he was de-
feated for congress by his oppo-
nent, John NJ. Morehead. The
official vote has not yet decided,
but all indications are that he Is
defeated by more than a hundred
majority.
The defeat of Mr.. Brooks is
peculiarly pathetic for many
reasons: He entered the race
in a district that was safely
Democratic by q majority of
more than 5000 and lost out.
The causes OF his defeat is attri-
buted to many things, but chief
among the causes may be ascribed
the hard fight made upon his
official career as solicitor by his
own party men. Republicans
hoped for gains in the State on
account of the prohibition move,
and really made gains. but the
fact that Democrats fought so
hard against him before the
nomination was against him on
every hand.
The following special from
Greensboro of the 9Th gives the
figures which tells the tale Of
brooks defeat:
AT 2 O'Clock today the worst
fears about the congressional
race had been realized when
apparently authentic figures re-
ceiyed from best of authority in
the various counties of the dis
trict showed total majorities in
the district Of 1896 for More
head 70 2,li2 for Broots. Mr..
Brooks, while not conceding de-
fat. admits that only the Official
yo,ecan decide the actual result. "

Southern California is particularly
a sweet wine region and the success
of the grape growers in securing a re-
versal of the ruling of Commissioned
Capers. which excluded native sweet
wines from being components Of pro-
prietary medicines. has made the effort
for organization in this region com

KAISER MUST YIELD
IS FRENCH BELIEF
Gallo Nation Confident of
Emancipation From Ger
man DOmineering"
Great Britain and Russia Sup
port France in Casa
Blanca Affair

PARIS. Nov. S.-No new word has
come from Berlin with reference to the
German governments attitude in the
Casa Blanca affair and "a further delay
is considered likely owing to some con-
fusion which prevails among the Ger
man officials and the necessity of ma
neuvering before the reichstag. But
French opinion remains serenely conf
dent that Germany eventually will yield
upon the point upon which France in
sists-that both express regret for the
incident.
There is no trace OF bluff in the
French attitude, and the spectacle pre-
sented by France last week must have
convinced Germany that in all her deal
ing with the German government since
the catastrophe of 1870 France never
displayed such an exhibition of national
solidarity.
Moreover. Germany doubtless is
aware that Great Britain and Russia
have been consulted upon every step
France has taken and fully share this
governments view, and in addition are
prepared 10 give material as well as
moral support to France. Europe is
now Witnessing the first real test OF
the strength of what amounts TO an
Russo -FrancoNtriple alliance, and
France already halls it as marking her
definite emancipation from what is
termed here German dominering."

SAN JOSE, Nov S-MentaI depres-

have been the motive which drove aged
Thomas F. Maloney to kill himself by
cutting his throat with a razor in his

on the floor, with the razor at his side,
He was conscious, but the blood was

across his throat. and also from the
arteries of the wrist, which he had sew
cred.
The discovery was made by the ma

Bangs. Their efforts 10 assist the dyin 2.

But little is known of MaloneY in San

about three years ago from San Fran
cisco and advanced a considerable sum
of money-in return for an agreement on
the part of the institution to support
him throughout the remainder of his
life.
The sister in the Agnew insane asy-

GERMANS ON ELECTION
Berlin Paper Says People Wei
come Taft's Accession

BERLIN. Nov. S-The Norddeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung. discussing the
election of Judge Taft from semi
official point of view, says:
The election of William II Taft is
heartily welcomed by Germany. The
successor of Mr.. Roosevelt is far from
being an unknown personality in our
political circles, where his career has
been followed with interest for years.
The impression gathered in this way,
as well as acquaintance with his per-
sonal qualifications, cause us to greet
his attainment to the highest Office of
the great republic with sincere good
will
We are confident that under Mr.
Tafts presidency the fundamental lines
of American politics, and more particu-
larly the friendly relations between
Germany and the United States, will
continue the same as heretofore. The
wish expressed by the vast majority
of German people that Mr.. Taft will
steer the United States toward new
period of economic prosperity from
the standpoint of extended German
American commercial relations can only
be ardently re-echoed.
