a slight gain and is improving, but the
doctors could give no positive hope for
her recovery.
Mrs. Lumsden has made no state

said at the hospital that he is DR.. E.

Omaha people have been drinking
81 tons OF mud every day, according
TO the testimony Of the city chemist

The Omaha water supply is secured

ORA70RICAL DUEL
In House Of Lords Over Unrest
in India
MORLEY AND LORD CURzON
Trouble is Admittedly Due in Large
Part to Japanese War, But Govern
ment Won't Adopt Martial Law
and Damned Nonsense"

LONDON, July1,-There was an
oratorial duel between Lord Curzon
ond Viscount Morley OF Blackburn,
secretary OF state to India, in the
House OF Lords last night on the
subject Of the late unrest i'll India,
this being Viscount Morley's maiden
speech in that house, Lord Curzon
regarded the unrest as chronic
symptom of the condition OF Asia as
whole which has been fomented by
Japanese vistory of Russia,
THAT was the triumph of Asia over
Europe" he said, "and the revelations
OF that conflict have spread like a
thunder clap through the whispering
galleries OF the East"
Viscount Morley in defending the
governments policy agreed with
Lord Curzon that the trouble was
largely due to Japan's victory. The
government had no reason, he con-
tinued, to doubt the Ameer's loyalty
and friendship and regarding the
Indian agitation it did not intend to
adopt the remedy Of martial law and
damned nonsense but while the en-
forcing Of law and preserving order
would not be determined by bombs
and outrages it would persevere in
the policy of reform in the direction
of giving to all grades of Indians

In the case the Duiour and Du Val
couples, Judge Lands imposed re-
cord breaking bail In each case the

holding that the charges were serious
enough to make justifable to make
the heaviest bonds. Both couples
were indicted on between 80 and 40

Cincinnati, Nov. 4.-Not until to-
night can it be known with any degree
of exactness by what figure Taft car
ried his native state, but the early fig
ures today confirmed the indications
of the night that his plurality would
run from $4,000 to $4,000. and might
lie about midway between those fig
ures. The enormous ballot and the
additional voting for the constitutional
amendments made slow voting yester-
day and even slower counting during
the night Many counties reported tho
count had not been completed at day
light and that the full figures would
not be available until late in the day.
: Overnight reports also continued
the indication Of defeat for Governor
Harris, Harmon, democrat, having a
plurality ranging anywhere from 10000
to 10000. Absolutely no word has
been received regarding the balance
of the state ticket and equal ignor-
ance must be admitted about the COM
plexion of the legislature, by which a
new United States senator is to be
elected In the congressional delega-
tion the democrats have gained at
least two and possibly three or four
members.

trict, and while the republicans con-
cede Jamieson's election the vote is
admittedly very close and the district
may go either way by a narrow mar
gin The democrats made vigorous

and that Iowa will have a solid re-

From the meager returns received at
headquarters here. Kendall in the Sixth
district. has apparently defeated Ham
ilton, democrat, for reelection. This is
the only Iowa district in which there
was any serious doubt of success.
Kennedy and Dawson in the First

comfortable pluralities. Pickett in the
Third made a wonderful race and car
ried the district by $500 over Elliott.
Haugen in the Fourth is returned by

Des Moines, Nov. 4.-The entire re-
publican state ticket in Iowa. is elected
by pluralities varying from $4,000 10
$4,000. Tafts plurality is about $1,000.
Cummins is nominated for senator by
a majority of $4,000 over Lacey. whils
the complexion of the next state legis-
lature will be progressive republican
by a safe working majority.
Never in the history of the state
have the returns been so slow in COM
ing in. At noon today returns on the
entire ticket had been received from
only ten counties, and in the cities
the election boards had not completed
the canvass of the ballots owing to
the heavy vote and the large ballot.
The work was further complicated by
separate ballots on other propositions.
Complete returns will not be in before
Thursday, but enough have been re-
ceived on which to base a. fair esti-
mate. Governor Cummins estimates
his majority over Lacey at $4,000, and
considers that figure conservative.
At noon today very few additional
particulars of the election il Iowa had
been received. Neither political COM
mittee is securing any re turns. The
only interest this morning was in re-
gard to the Eighth district for con-
gress. A rumor had 1t this morning
that Jameson, democrat, was elected,
but later returns show that Hepburn
probably is elected by sn all majori-

ot'Tuesday's Election
REMAINS JUST PLAIN Mr.. TAFT
Declares the Business Men and Farm
ers, Aided by the Labor Vote.
Elected Him-Bryan Shows No
Traces of His Bitter Disappointment
-RooseveIt's Interpretation of Result.

Cincinnati, Nov 4.-"I believe was
elected by the business men of the
country, democrats as well as republic
cans, that l received my share of the
labor vote. and that the farmers gen.
orally stood by me. l am very much
gratitied."
Taft this morning gave expression
to the above declaration. He added:
"In my own state and Indiana the
results were very much affected by
local liquor questions, and it is very
difficult to figure out just how it oper
ated. The sweeping victory in New
York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and
Connecticut is especially gratifying to
me-"
Altho Judge Taft was up the greater
part of the night scanning the reports
as they were received over the wires
installed at his house, he nevertheless
was ana early riser this morning. The
CHEEKY household within the Taft man
sion was in striking contrast to the
appearance outside, where were plainly
visible the remnants of the midnight
demonstration of thousands of Cin-
cinnati's citizens bent on showing hon
or to one of their number who had
been honored.
Just Mr.. Taft.
rs President-elect Taft the proper
title now?" was asked
Just Mr.. Taft, if you please" was
the CHEEKY reply. You know am not
elected president yet, and will not be
president-elect until after the meeting
of the, electoral college. We shall en-
deavor to remain in our capacity as
private citizen as long as possible"
Taft himself during the morning was
preparing for the delivery Of a dedica-
tion speech he is to make this after
noon at the cornerstone laying of the
New Woodward high school building.
He Thinks Of Bryan.
While showing beyond doubt his
qualification at the result of yester-
days voting, Taft admits his cam
him, and that it will require many
days rest and exercise to restore his
normal condition. He reflected this
morning that Bryan must also feel the
effect Of the tremendous campaigning,
he has done. No communication has
yet passed between the successful and
defeated candidates, and none is likely
until the returns are complete. Taft
and Mrs. Taft Will leave for Hot
Springs, Va, Friday.
