Now and again some incidents give

CUBA IS VOTING.
Third National Election Is in Pro-
gress on the Island.

Havana, Nov. 14-Election day
dawned bright and the third contest
at the polls in the history of the
Cuban republic to elect a president,
senators and congressman promised
to pass without serious disturbance
or disorder. Two tickets are in the
field, the liberal headed by Jose
Miguel Gomez, and Alfredo Zayas,
candidates respectively for the presi-
dency and vice presidency and the
conservative with General Marc
MenocaI and DR.. Rafael Montero as
candidates. 1t is probable that the
vote will be the heaviest yet recorded
in Cuba.
Colonel c. H. Crowder, chief of the
bureau of elections this morning re-
ceived reports from each municipality
excepting Cienfuegos, Cardenas.
Neuvitas. Ciego de Avila and a few
others saying that tranquility reigned
and that there are current vague
rumors of possible factional- issue.
The weather is fine except in
Santiago province. where there are
heavy rains. The condition of the
roads is almost everywhere good, and
there is every Indication of heavy
vote and prompt returns.
The indications of a Liberal sue
cess are increasing. The followers of
Jose Miguel Gomez in the city of
Havana, began a celebration at
late hour last night in anticipation of
liantly illuminated trolley cars, with
bands of music were run through the
city discharging fireworks as they
progressed. The explosion of a box
of fireworks in one car injured six
persons. There was no counter
demonstration on the part of the
conservatives.
The polls opened at o'clock and
at that hour many electors already
were waiting at the booths to cast
their ballots. 1t is probable that the
bulk of the vote will be cast early.
An inspection of the polling places in
the lower section of the city this
morning found everything working
satisfactorily. Cabs and automobiles
are being freely used by both parties
to carry voters to the polls.
The conservatives this morning are
somewhat encouraged by the report
that General Aloman and General
Guzman, liberals of Santa Clara
province, have announced their in
tention of supporting General Memo

An investigation of the shooting
last night at Cienfuegos of Edward
Prieto, a liberal, by Gonzalo Vieta,
conservative, and at one time mayor

affair is without political significance.
There is evidence that Prieto insulted
Vieta and attacked him with a knife,
whereupon Vieta fired in self defense.

while attempting to separate the two
men.

The Naval Portfolio Will Be Given to
His Assistant.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Secretary of
the Navy Victor H. Metcalf has re-
signed his office to take effect Deem
Der 1 owing to ill health. Assistant
Secretary Newberry will be named as
Metcalf'S successor.
For more than a year the fact that
Mr.. Metcalf has suffered serious ill
ness has been well known at the navy
department. Formerly of vigorous
health. his friends expected that he
would be able to regain his strength,
but constantly recurring illness has
for him to pursue is to sever his con-
nection with all active work. Mr.. Met
calf has suffered from nervous break
down that has rendered it impossible
for him to remain at his desk for any
length of time, and the chronic nature
of his trouble has caused him to
abandon hope of recovery while bur-
dened with the cares of office
On April Is last he went to
California to review the Atlantic
battleship fleet. He took long
vacation hoping to be permanently
benefited thereby, returning here
September 1. Upon his resumption of
official duties his illness promptly re-
Cured and he frankly told the presi-
dent that he could not remain in the
cabinet.

important public office prior to his
appointments as assistant secretary of

fore Thanksgiving.

Laporte. Ind, Nov. 14.-For the
purpose of taking advantage of every
opportunity so as to finish the trial of
Ray Lamphere before Thanksgiving,

were taken from the fingers of the
adult female body found in the fire.
Sheriff Shutter swore they were SINH
lar to rings he had seen on the finger
of Mrs. Guinness during her life, but
we will establish their ownership with
out question by the testimony of Her
man Elbogan, a jeweler, who had
and several times had seen them on
Mrs. Guinness fingers.
"Neighbors will also support the
testimony. This we will follow up
with the Introduction of the dental
work found in the. ruins near the
bodies and by the testimony of DR..
/ P. Norton We will prove that the
bridge had been made for Mrs. Gun
ness and fitted in her mouth"
DR.. J. L. Gray, who yesterday testi-
fled that in his opinion the cause of
death on the adult female body found
in the ruins was asphyxiation, resumed
the witness stand today for completion
of his cross examination.

Weather-Crop Bulletin

Des Moines, Ia, June /, 'O8.-
From Monday morning to
Friday night, the temperature
was considerably above normal,
with frequent and general
showers. The rainfall was ex-
cessive; the total for the week
at stations exceeded the month
ly normal. Continuous rains
prevented any field work being
done until Saturday, and the
loss to crops by washing and
floods will be considerable. A
great deal of corn will have to
be replanted, and, as a result,
there is now nearly as large an
acreage to be planted as there
was two weeks ago. The early
planted fields are becoming
very weedy, but the more
favorable conditions which pre-
vailed during the last two days
afforded an opportunity to do
some cultivating on high and
we'll drained land. All small
grain, grass, clover, and pota-
toes have made rank growth,
but reports indicate that the
condition is good except on low
land where the grain is becom-
ing yellow.

Attracts Wide Attention
Special Dispatch to the World
Herald.
Sioux Falls, S. D., May 30
Judge Frank B. Smith, Of
Mitchell, sitting for Judge
Jones of the state circuit court
in this city has concluded the
work of hearing the arguments
and has taken under advise
ment the case instituted against
George w. Egan, formerly of
Logan, Ia, to secure the recov-
cry of a $1,000 gold bond and
$50 in cash alleged to be the
property Of Julia Ann O'Grady,
who for a time was under the
charge of murder growing out
OF the murder last September
Of her aged husband, Jonn
O'Grady, at tbs O'Grady home,
north of Sioux Falls.
The suit was instituted by w.
Z. Baker, guardian of the es-
tate Of Mrs. O'Grady, who now
is in an insane asylum in Okla
homa. The defendant in the
action is an attorney and is the
insurgent candidate for nomi-
nation at the June primaries to
the office of the states attor-
ney of this (Minnehaha) county.
He was engaged to defend Mrs.
O'Grady and induced her to
transfer to him all her prop
erty, real and personal, includ-
the gold bond and $50 in cash
which are the bone of conten-
in the present suit.
The case against Mrs.
O'Grady was finally dismissed
and following this Attorney
Egan retransferred to her all
her real estate, but retained
the bond and cash. The case
attracted great local interest
while on trial before Judge
Smith and a great deal of bit
terness was displayed by both
sides to the controversy.
Judge Smith announced that
it would be a week or ten days
before he would render a de-
cision.
