Chairman Mack Positive Of
Bryan's Election.
CLOSE STATES CANVASSED

Democratic Manager Declares His
=. Figures Show Heavy Republican
Losses as Compared With Four
Years Ago-Candidate Taft, Now
Speaking in the East, Will Wind Up
tho Week in Indiana.
New York, Oct. 20.-Massing all the
forces of the militant Democracy in
the final struggle of the campaign to
capture the Empire state Norman E..
Mack, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, bearing prophesies
OF victory, came from the West to
take personal charge of what he de-
clares will be the hardest fought fin
ish of any presidential campaign in
this state. Not only Mr. Bryan, but
other Democratic speakers of note, in
Guiding several United States senators,
will swing through the state in an
effort to capture New York's cleo
toral vote for the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Mack held several conferences
with Eastern leaders looking to the
devisement OF plans for the final on
Elaught. The national chairman as
serts that Bryan will be elected by
landslide and in support of this dec
laration made public some results
which he had obtained from precinct
polls made in many Of the so called
doubtful states. Mr.. Mack said:
II am firmly convinced that William
J. Bryan will be elected by a land
slide. Within the last two weeks l
have caused careful poll to be made
by captains in hundreds of precincts
in New York, Indiana and Ohio for
the purpose Of obtaining the percent
age Of Republican loss over four years
ago. The results of the poll were
amazing and in no instance did they
Indicate anything but an increase in
the Democratic VOTE"

MRS. HAMS LOSES IN
PRELIMINARY BOUT
Court Denies A|imony and Gus
tody Of the Children.

New York, Oct. 20.-The application
Df Mrs. Claudio L. Hams for alimony
and counsel fees to defend a suit for
divorce brought by Captain Peter G.
Hams, Jr., awaiting trial for killing
William E. Annis, was denied by JUS
tice Carr in Brooklyn. Mrs. Hams re-
quest that she be granted the custody
Of her children also was denied. Annis
was named as correspondent in Cap
tain Hams suit for divorce.
Justice Carr, in his decision, said
that Captain Hams has no means
from which to pay either alimony or
counsel fees, as his salary has been
suspended since his Imprisonment
and his own small means are needed
for his own defense. The court also
gave as reason that Mrs. Hams is in
comfortable home with her parents
In Massachusetts.
GAS to the custody of the Children"
said Justice Carr, "a similar embar-
rassment exists. The children are
with the fathers parents outside this
state and the defendant has no home
in this state and declares that if she
gets possession Of the children she
will take them to Massachusetts. I
feel it inadvisable at this moment to
disturb the situation"
In her affidavit replying to her hus-
bands suit for divorce Mrs. Hams de-
MED that she had been guilty Of any
improperly with Mr.. Annis and con-
cluded:
II believe that my husbands act
and the charges which he has made
against me have been prompted by
his brother, T. Jenkins Hams, who
threatened to injure me for refusing
his advances. He endeavored several
times while my husband was away to
make advances, going so far as to en-
ter my room. I repulsed him and he
declared that he would be revenged."

containing the names was quickly
done. After Thomas w. Gale had fin
ished speaking the little girls, Dema
Rose and Virginia Wagner, were in
troduced by Judge Witten. They were
heartily cheered.
Just twenty-five minutes after the
cans were opened and thoroughly
stirred Dema Rose was carried to the
front OF the platform by Judge Witten
and told to walk anywhere she
pleased and pick up an envelope from
behind her back. The little miss, who
Is only four years old, was frightened
and about ready to cry. She walked
over to the middle of the pile of en-
velopes and reached down and picked
up the winning envelope.

MINISTERS WILL ORGANIZE
Boston Pastors Hope Thereby to Bet
ter Their Conditions.

Boston, Oct. 90 Declaring that
many Boston preachers are unable to
support their families on the small
salaries they receive and that several
of them are forced to till the soil for
living Rev. Herbert S. Johnson, pas
tor vi the Warren Avenue Baptist
church, advocates the formation of a
ministers union and a meeting of
Boston pastors of all Protestant de-
nominations will be called.
The proposed union is to be based
on the same principles as those Of Or
gained labor and is intended to have
the same sort of restrictive and pro-
tective features. There will be a
clause covering a movement on the
part Of the clergy answering to the
"strike' of the workingmen and there
also will be functionary of the ma
ture of the walking delegate.
"Conditions among ministers here In
Boston are such that something must
be done,' said Rev. Mr.. Johnson. "A
number of my friends in this city are
actually preparing to leave the min
istry. They have bought little farms
in New England, to which they will
retire, because they simply cannot
live on their salaries" 49,

BRAKE FAILS TO WORK,
Three Trolley Cars in Collision at
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Oct. 20.-Three trolley
cars on the Troost avenue line COL
l1ded at Thirteenth street and Troost
avenue here and were badly wrecked
One man was killed and fifteen other
passengers were more or less serious
1y injured. The airbrake failed on one
OF the cars at Tenth street and Troost
avenue and it rushed back down a
steep hill. There were two cars COM
ing up the hill back of the first car
and for two blocks these cars backed
away in a thrilling attempt to escape.
The cars were crowded with passen-
gers bound down town, many of them
being prominent business men. For
three blocks before the cars finally
collided men and women jumped fran
tically to the street and many were
hurt IN their efforts to escape.
R. L. Smith of Nevada, Mo-, was
killed when the front end Of the rear
car was crushed in.
A wrecking car collided with the
runaway trolley car after the latter
had come to a standstill and the crew
were forced to jump to save their
lives, the foreman being badly hurt.

Programme Mapped Out for Balance
Of Campaign.
Washington, Oct. 20.-Before leav-
Ing Washington Judge Taft discussed
the future demands of the campaign
with interest, saying that while the
programme mapped out for him was
extensive he hoped to be able to CON-

ing in Baltimore at which Secretary
Garfield presided. Tuesday night Mr..
Taft will spend in travelling to his
home in Cincinnati, where Wednesday
will be given to complete relaxation.
The last three days of the week will
be devoted to a whirlwind dash
through Indiana in company with Vice
President Fairbanks, Senator Bever-

Hcans. The last week Of the cam
paign will be given to New York and

BLACKDUCK <. P.'S ARE
PREPARING A BIG Time
District Convention of the Order Will
Be Held at the ''Duck" Thursday,
October 22nd.

The fall convention of district No.
Is, Knights of Pythias, of Mime
sofa, will be held at Blackjack on
Thursday, October p, and it is ex-
pected that the forthcoming meeting
will be the very best Pythian get
ting together" ever held in northern
Minnesota.
The district includes Park Rapids
lodge No. 100, Mcintosh Lodge No.
156, Blackjack Lodge No. 1872 and
Bemidji Lodge No. 1853, which lodges
include in their membership several
hundred loyal K. P.'s, all of whom

The people of Blackjack are max
ing extensive preparations to royalty

antitrust law against unlawful
restraint of trade or commerce
among the states; the anti-rebate
law, the rate bill, the pure food and
meat inspection law; the law Great
ing the bureau of corporations to-
investigate and publish the facts in
regard to the operations of large
corporations and secure publicity
therein. 81
These measures are genuine
reforms, for which Bryan claims to
TALKED, but which Roosevelt has
put in ACTUAL PRACTICE.
Instead of recognizing the great
work for reform that the president
has done, Bryan denounces him as
subservient official, who has been
raised to power by the representa-
ton of predatory wealth in order
that they may prey upon defense
less public. Do you think that the
American people approve such de-
nunciation? or do you not think that
their verdict will be, as will be the
verdict of history, that Theodore
Roosevelt has done more for genuine
reform, for higher moral ideals and
standards in our business affairs, for
charging the opportunity of the
ordinary business man, for securing
a square deal, for pr ogress and civil
cation, than any man in modern
times?
Mr.. Stevenson then said:
IF you desire the continuance
of republican prosperity and Roose-
welt reforms and honest tariff revis-
ion upon republican lines, then you
must elect Mr.. Taft and republican
congress and the work will be done.
Having confidence in the inteli-
gence and fairness of the American
people, we await their verdict upon
these momentous issues with hope
and confidence that the wheels of
progress will not be turned back but
that this great nation will go onward
to realization of still higher ideals
and greater triumphs."
In conclusion, referring to J. F
Jacobson, the republican nominee.
for governor, the speaker said he
was a man tried and true, and
deserved the support of every repub-
lican. No man who believed in the
the principles of his party could vote
against him, and it was pretty GER
tain that few would. There was a
landslide coming, and it was for
Jacobson, the true and tried friend
of the common people.

LONG BATTLE FOR SLIFE

Chicago Murderer Has Escaped Exc
cution on Several Occasions, but 1t
Is Not Probable That He Will Get
Another Stay of Proceedngs-Ac'
cused of Numbering Three or Four
Members of One Family. ..
Washington, Oct. 20.-The supreme
court of the United States has dis
missed for want Of jurisdiction the
appeal of Herman Billik from the de.
cision of Judge Lands Of the United
States circuit court for the Northern
district of Illinois, denying the petit.
ton for writ of habeas corpus in
the case of Billik, who is under SEN
tence of death in Chicago on the
charge of numbering a number of peo-
pie.
The petition was based on the plea
that Billik had been denied a constitu-
tional right by the failure of the trial
court to ask him if he had anything to
say why the sentence of death should
not be passed upon him. By taking
the case into the United States courts
on petition for writ of habeas cor
pus and appealing to the supreme court
from Judge Landis' decision denying
the writ he obtained years delay;
but it is probable that he will not get
another stay Of proceedings and there
fore that the sentence of the trial
court will soon be executed. Billik
was necromancer and it was charged
that he obtained undue control over
victims by practicing upon their
credulity. A number of offenses were
charged against him, but the most
serious was that of numbering three
or four members of the Vzral family
of Chicago, after robbing them and
betraying their confidence in many
ways.
Several Times Respited.
Chicago, Oct. 20.-The refusal of
the supreme court of the United States
to act in the case of Herman Billik Of
Chicago brings to an end one of the
most notable struggles ever made in
the history of American Jurisprudence
to save the life of condemned man.
Billik, indicted two years ago for the
murder of five members Of the Vrzal
family, was tried on one Indictment
and convicted of the murder of Mary
Vrzal Billik was sentenced to hang,
but was thrice respited pending the
outcome of appeals to higher courts
or the board of pardons.
The member of the VrZal family
whose deaths were laid at the door of
Billik were Martin, the father; Mary,
Ti]ly and Rose, children of Martin,
and Mrs. Martin Vrzal, mother of the
children. Post mortem examinations
uncovered traces of arsenic in the
stomach of EACH Damaging testimony
was given against Billik by Jerry
Vrzal. 1t was the story he told, in
fact, which friends of Billik declared
made the conviction of the defendant
certain. A sensation was created later
when Jerry retracted this testimony
before the board of pardons. He
claimed that his evidence in court
had been given under duress. The
defense relied largely on this retrac-
ton in making the fight to save the
prisoner from paying the penalty for
the crime charged against him.
