VERMONT RESULT
 JUST A DOCFALL Neither Democrats Nor Repub- IiCans Get Consolation REPUBLICANS LOSE MOST Attention Is Now Turned to Maine, Where the Situation Seems Much
 More Favorable for Big
 Gains for Democrats.
REPUBLICANS LOSE MOST

Washington, September 2-(Special)- The important result of the Vermont election is that the republicans lost many more votes than the democrats; in other words, there was a pronounced compara- tive gain. In population the Green Noun tain state is almost stationary, and the electorate does not increase materially. The politics of the average Vermonter Is fixed largely by inheritance The attempt of the republican press of the east to claim landslide for Taft on the Vermont basis is childish. Vermont is about as much of political barometer as Flor ida. If anything. the democratic gain in dicates the election of Bryan rather than that of Taft, for if the democrats can gain in rock-ribbed republican states, the G. o. P. is placed in hole in the doubt ful states of the west and middle west.
 The vote this year in Vermont by ma jority Is about the same as in 1900 and 1904, which indicates that the republican vote remains stationary. Something more than stationary republican vote in rock ribbed Vermont must be required to bring comfort to the Hitchcock Cromwell com bine. In addition to this the republicans of Vermont were united, condition which exists in few other states.
 Maine will be the next center of in- terest The elections there. including the choice of representatives in congress, will be held September 15 and there is ad- mittedly some anxiety among republicans over the outcome, and corresponding 4I. tI,
 democrats.
 In Maine the republicans are handicap
 ped by two features of the campaign. In
 the first place, MT. Gardiner, the demo- cratic candidate for governor, has been for 13 years president of the state grange, a very influential organization of agri-
 culturalists. He is popular with the farm
 CTS, and is expected to break through
 strict party lines and carry many repub- lican votes by his personality
 In the next place the republicans have their old-time bugaboo in the path again the liquor interests. Rum Is riling 'em in Maine, as it is in Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey and other states. The democrats have everything to win and nothing to lose in the issue, and the republicans either have to lose votes or abate their principles.
 Sam Denedry, who is affiliated with fed erated labor, passed through this city to- l day. accompanied by Representative | Clark. secretary of the deftocratic con gressional committee bound for Maine MT. Denedry will rally the labor vote in the Second the old Littlefied district, for

COUNTESS IS BETTER.
Reports From Szechneyi Household
 Deny Serious Illness.

Vienna, September 2.-That the reports emanating from Budapest concerning the condition of Countess Szecheyi have been exaggerated is shown by the fact that the count and countess arrived today in that city and said that they intended soon to come to Vienna
 Nelson Shaughnessy, third secretary of the American embassy here, who is an intimate friend of the count and countess. received the following telegram from the former:
 Cordial thanks for your telegram, but the report is totally false. My wife's con- dition is very good"
 It is impossible, further than this, to get authentic information regarding the illness of the countess, but it is generally believed that its serious nature has been greatly overdrawn.

COLOR LINE DRAWN
 BY WAR VETERANS

Boston, September 2.-The drawing of the color line in the organization of tho United Spanish War Veterans was the most conspicuous feature of the fifth annual convention proceedings today This action was brought about through resolution declaring the Charles M Thomas camp of Washington, D. C., "un- attached"
 Commander-in-C Chief Hale left his chair at the convention tonight to defend the resolution, and he was vigorously op- posed by members of the colored camp from the floor. The commander-in-chief explained that it was the policy of the national body to have all colored camps unattached until such time as the colored camps could have a department for themselves. He acknowledged that the charter for the particular camp placed the camp on the same footing as white camps in the department of the District of Columbia but explained that the char ter had been granted by mistake. The resolution was finally adopted

 WILL CONTEST VOTE

Omaha, Neb September 2-Although less than a quarter of the returns are in from yesterdays statewide primary election, it is believed that former Con gressman Shallenberger has received the nomination for governor.

 While the press and public opinion Tn France and England appears to be ex- ceeding sensitive to Germany's taking any part in Moroccan affairs, 1t is not be- lieved that the French and British gov ernments will take any exception to what is considered here perfectly reasonable and sound action.
 Germany, 1t Is almost certain, indicated her intentions to Austria in advance and received Austria's full approval and 1t Is not unlikely that at least one other power has already associated herself with the German view

Taft not only does not say that his party will destroy the private monopoly, but he does say that to destroy 1t would de- stroy and extirpate business. He says that what the country needs is not exter- rninatlon of trust, but regulation. He has tried regulation in his party for 12 years and the result is that the trusts have regulated the republican party, but the party has failed to regulate the trusts"

AMERICANS LOSE
in THEIR APPEAL

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 14.-Lewis
and Hill. Americans who some time
ago were sentenced to life imprison-
ment for scuttling the ship Agener,
have lost the appeal made by them,
according to advices in the latest mail
from Japan. The Box of Curios OF
Yokohama says:
'In our opinion there is no doubt
that in the Agener case Lewis and
Hill were guilty of the crimes charg-
ed, but when it comes to life sem
tence passed upon them we must pro-
test against it's injustice when 1t is
compared with other sentences made
nv Japanese courts. We regret that
during our twenty-one years of resi-
dence we have not kept list OF some
of the many queer sentences that
have been rendered by the native
Judges, for if published in a row they
would seem so ridiculous and such
strong evidence of the miscarriage of
Justice that we feel confident the gov
eminent would take such steps as to
secure a proper code, and lay schools
to so educate jurists that such far
cial sentences would not be of so fire.

GIVEN FREEDOM

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 15.-At 8
O'Clock tomorrow morning the doors
of the state prison of New Jersey will
swing open and ]. Frank Cordova,
the unfrocked South River pastor,
will step forth free man, after hav-

finities.
It was about four years ago that
the case of Cordova filled columns of
newspaper space and was discussed
from one end of the country to the
other. 1t was the original affinity"
case, antedating by several years the
equally famous case of Artist Earle.

spected men who found their alleNed

climaxes the two cases differed very

FARO PLAY STIRS
UP new YORK

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-A story of
a faro game at high stakes in a luxu-
riously furnished dwelling in the
section of upper West
Side was disclosed today at the hear
ing of Martin Phillips, who was ar
rested late last night charged with
larceny Phillips was arraigned in
the West Side court today and was
held in $500 bonds for trial. Mel
Vile R. Moxley, formerly of Pitts

leging that he lost 5000 in faro
game dealt by Phillips.
In his story to the court Monkey

Phillips wrote to him saying they
would make $4,000 out of Phillips
employer. Monkey, it was alleged,
was to put up the necessary money
and get 60 per cent of the proceeds,
the remaining 40 per cent to go to
Phillips.

DETECTIVES AFTER
MISSING SHIPMENT

The disappearance of a sack of
amalgam, shipped from Manhattan to
the local mint, by Wells-Fargo and
company's express is being investi-
gated by c. Cain and T. Elliott, two
company detectives, says the Carson
News. The shipment was made about
ten days ago from the southern
camp. 1t consisted of two sacks, but
only one of them reached the mint.
The detectives arrived here yester-
day and have been working on the
matter since. An effort was made to
interview them last night but they de-
MED all knowledge of the matter, but
when facts were called to their at
tention they gave evasive answers.
Upon their arrival they enlisted the
aid of the state police, but did not ask
the local officers to assist.
They spent several hours at the
mint and were shown that the ship
ment was not received there. They
are evidently taking this city as a
starting point and will trace the bull
lion all along the line. Shipments of
this kind are sent from Manhattan to
Tonopah by stage, at which point
they are loaded on the train. A trans
fer is made to the train running to
Mound House, at which point the v
ct. takes over the express matter.
