MUST LIMIT HEIGHT.
New York Al chitect Protests Against
3OO-Foot Buildings.

New York, Nov. 7.-Dangers of con-
gestion in downtown New York, should
the proposed new building code fail to
restrict more radically than now pro-
posed the height of buildings hereafter
constructed, were dwelt upon by prom
inent architects and engineers before
the building committee of the board of
aldermen today.
Speaking for the American Institute
of Architects and Society of Beau Arts,
Ernest Flagg, an architect, opposed
the recommendation Of the commission
because it fixed the limit Of height so
high that scarcely anyone would care
to build higher"
Mr.. Flagg pointed out the danger
from congestion in times of sudden
panic, if the people in all the 300-foot
buildings which the new regulations
would allow to be constructed were to
attempt to get out at once.
"The Streets" concluded Mr.. Flagg,
could not hold them. To continue
this policy is to invite disaster the
like of which has never been known"
The committee on congestion of pop
ulation submitted figures to show that
in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and
every large center OF population in
Europe the maximum height permitted
is considerably less than 100 feet.
The New York Board of fire under
writer's and the Municipal Art commits
sion also voiced opposition to the 300
and 350-foot limitation.
No action was taken by the alder
men.

Colorado,

Denver, Nov. 4.-Chairman Vivian
of the Republican state central com
mittee admits that the trend of the
count of Tuesdays vote in Colorado is
toward Democratic victory, but still
hopes that complete returns will give
the state to Taft and that some of the
candidates for state officers will be
successful. However, he comedies the
election of ex-Congressman John F..
Shaffroth, Democratic candidate for
governor and also comedies a good ma
jority of both houses of the legislature
to the Democrats. This insures the
selection of Charles j. Hughes as
United States senator, Henry M. Tel
ler's successor, which will be made by
the next general assembly.

Keeps Divorce Industry.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 7.-Oppo-
nents of the proposed new divorce law
raising the period of residence from six
months to one year and requiring that
hearings be held at regular terms of
court instead of in chambers are conf
IDENTIFY claiming tonight that the meas
ure was defeated Tuesday. While
those favoring the new law will not
concede this, leading politicians who
are IN close touch with the conditions
throughout the state and have been
neutral in the divorce law fight are of
the opinion that the law was defeated

MORSE GOES TO
FEDERAL PRISON
Judge Sentences Bank WreCker to
Serve Is Years.
Curtis, Ex-President of Defunct lnsti-
tuition, Gixen Liberty on Suspend
ed SentenCe-Morse Asks Liberty
on Bail and Instructs His Counsel
to Fight to Highest Court.

New York, Nov. From a cell in
the Tombs prison Charles w. Morse
now directs the efforts of his counsel
to procure his freedom, he having been
sentenced yesterday to serve Is years
in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga,
for misapplication of the funds of the
National Bank of North America and
making false entries in the books of
the bank Alfred H. Curtis, ex-presi-
dent of the defunct bank, who was
tried jointly and convicted with Morse,
was given his liberty on suspended
sentence.
While Morse's lawyers Immediately
applied for and obtained a stay of exc
cution for 10 days after sentence had
been imposed, it is probable that Morse
will remain prisoner in the tombs
until Monday, as Judge Hough has re-
fused to admit him to bail.
The Morse lawyers applied late yes
terday to the United States Court of
Appeals for writ to show cause why
their client should not be admitted to
bail, and the writ was granted, but it
is not returnable until Monday.
Whether new trial will be granted
Morse is problematical. Judge La
combe granted writ of error to his
lawyers today. The writ is returnable
December 3, and is based on the usual
grounds exceptions taken by the de-
fense during the trial and exceptions
to the indictment itself. This step had
to be taken before application for bail
could be made, and it also leads to the
argument for a new trial.
Morse's lawyers say their client has
instructed them to fight "to the last
ditch. -

HUGHES ELECTED
Returns Also Give New York
State and City to Taft.
MISSOURI IS REPUBLICAN
Maryland Still in Doubt, but Vote Will
Probably Be Split--Bpan Will
Have l56 Votes.

New York, Nov. 5.-The member.
ship of the electoral college which
will choose the next president of the
United States was still in doubt wher
the official counters in Maryland aban.
doned their task for the night.
According to the best information
obtainable, the proportionate number
of Republican and Democratic elec-
tors was determined by division of
Maryland's eight votes. Half of the
city of Baltimore and two of the 23
counties outside that city are still to
be counted, but there is strong indi-
cation that the states vote will be
split. In any event, the margin of
victory will be so small that the state
was claimed tonight by the leaders of
both parties Though the splitting of
a states electoral college vote is un-
usual, it will be recalled that in 1904
Maryland chose one Republican and
seven Democratic electors.
Missouri appears to be safely for
Taft, to whom the latest returns give
a plurality of 300, with the prospects
that the few final districts will double
or treble the figures.
Conceding Missouri to Taft and leav-
ing Maryland out of consideration to
be split between him and Bryan, the
figures show 80 Republican electors
assured and 1856 Democratic.
Latest congressional returns indicate
that the next congress will be COM
posed of PIG Republicans and IT'S Den:
ocrats, majority for the Republicans
of Al.
The returns for the Socialist and
Prohibition parties are still far from
complete, but indicate that the hopes
of the Socialists have not been real
lied, and those of the Prohibitionists,
in certain sections where gains had
been expected, have been disappoint-
ing. The figures for the independence
party vote are also insufficient to give
an accurate idea of what that party
accomplished.
The states certainly carried by Mr.
Bryan are as follows: Alabama, II,
Arkansas 9, Colorado 5, Florida 5,
Georgia IS, Kentucky 13, Louisiana 9,
Mississippi 10, Nevada 3, Nebraska
s, North Carolina II, Oklahoma 7,
South Carolina 8, Tennessee II, Texas
Is, Virginia IL. Total 156.
Taft's plurality in the state Of New
York, according to corrected figures
late tonight is 203, 495, more than 28,-
900 in excess of President Roosevelt's |
plurality of four years ago.
Governor Charles E. Hughes was re-
elected governor of New York by H.
$50. The returns as between presi-
dent and governor indicate heavy |
splitting of tickets. The proportion Of /
scratched ballots was about the same |
in the upstate districts as in Greater
New York.
Outside of the returns, political in
terest was engaged today in the ex-
change of messages of congratulation
and thanks between Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Taft; a statement by Mr.. Bryan in
which he sets forth his determination
to continue his work for the good of
all, in the capacity of private citi-
zen; and the announcement by Mr..
Sherman that it cost him just 81, 800
to be elected vice president.

Delaware.

Wilmington, Del, Nov. 3.-General
T. Colman Dupont, Rep, state chair
man, claims Delaware for Taft by 81
500 plurality. He also claims the cleo
tion of Pennewell, Republican, for
governor, by about 1000, and the re-
mainder of the Republican state ticket
by the same figures, with the possible
exception of Davis for attorney gener-
al, whose election he claims by 1900.

Georgia.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. Although
Georgia gave Bryan a substantial plu-
rality of about 10000, Republican
gains were shown throughout the
state. Taft received a small majority
in two counties, and Watson, the Pop
ulist candidate, carried three counties.
Taft carried two wards in this city.
All the Democratic congressman were
reelected, and the reelection of Sen
ator Clay, Dem, is assured.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. Add

this morning do not change the esti-

ity for Taft and from 10, 900 to 1000
for Spray, Republican, for governor.
Utah will return Joseph Howell to con-
gress and Reed Smoot to the United

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 3.-The Re-

victorious in Wisconsin today by a
plurality estimated at $4,000. The
congressional delegates with one dis
trict to hear from probably will remain
about the same as two years ago, nine
Republicans and two Democrats.

EXCEEDS TAFT VOTE.
Plurality OF Cosgrove Over Pattison
Estimated at 47,l66.

Seattle, Nov. 5. - Returns from
every county in the state place Taft's
plurality over Bryan at 1858. The
presidential vote on the Socialist, Pro-
hibition and Independence party tick
cts was inconsiderable and fell far be-
hind the predictions made by their
leading supporters. Cosgrove's plural
ity over John Pattison is figured at
AZ, l66.
The Republicans have 81 state sepa
tors and 81 state representatives, Civ
ing them a majority of n on joint bal
lot, which insures the election of con-
gressman Wesley l.. Jones to the
United States senate to succeed Levi
Ankeny.
Returns indicate that both the two
proposed constitutional amendments
have failed of passage, the tax amend
ment being overwhelmingly defeated
and the eminent domain amendment
being defeated by smaller majority.
The Hisgen vote in the state was
practically negligible, but Chafn, the
Prohibitionist, polled a respectable
vote. AS indicated, the Socialist vote
approximates 1900. Only one "stick-
err candidate, or candidate running on
nonpartisan platform, in the entire
state got in. He was on the county
ticket in Skamania county.
Goldendale, Nov. 5.-The full vote
for Klickitat county is now in. Taft
got 1913, Bryan 344., Cosgrove $40,
Pattison 374.
Aberdeen, Nov. 4.-Indications are
that the entire Republican ticket in
Chehallis county has been elected by
good majorities and that the Demo-
Gratis, Socialists and Prohibitionists
did not make anywhere near the show
ing that was anticipated.
Chehalis, Nov. a. Complete unoffi-
cial returns from 49 Lewis county pre-
cincts give Taft 1892, Bryan 1926,
Debs 1896, Chafn At. Cosgrove for
governor has 2S2 plurality.
Yakima, Nov. 4.-Yakima county
polled 5,400 votes, of which the Re-
publican ticket got straight vote of
about 3,400 and the Democrats 800.
The entire Republican ticket is elected.
Kalama, Nov. 4.-The entire Repub-
lican ticket in Cowlitz county was
elected yesterday without any excep-
tion. All the precincts We're heard
from today, giving the Republican can
didates majority ranging from 302
to 1,031.
Vancouver, Nov. a. 4.-Complete re-
turns from 26 out of 27 precincts in
Clarke county give Taft 1854, Bryan
1921, Chain "a, Debs SO, Hisgen 8.

son 1886. For congressman-Cu
man 2,617, Brown 1,133.
Raymond, Nov. 4.-Incomplete re-
turns in Pacific county insure the cleo
tion of the entire Republican county
ticket, with the exception of commits
sioner for the First district.
Seattle, Nov. 4.-Returns received
here leave no doubt of the election of
Poindexter and Cushman
for congress, with the vote practically
the same as that of Taft.
Returns at 3: 80 p. m. show the fol-
lowing result of election for members
of the Legislature for the state:
Senate-Democrats, 5; Republicans,
10.
House-Democrats, 4; Republicans,

Concord, N. H., Nov. 4.-Two-ffths
of the vote of New Hampshire, counted
and returned, indicates that Taft has
carried the state by about 20, 600 plur,
ality. Henry B. Quimby, Rep, for
governor, will probably have 4,OOC
plurality, but as majority is required
to elect, the vote of the minority par
ties may cut an appreciable figure in
determining the result. The two Re-
publican congressman were reelected

that Taft has carried the state by a
majority close to 5000. c. N. Pray,

Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 4.-Complete
returns from 40 counties in the central
and northern sections Of the state give
Bryan a plurality of $4,000. The
counties yet to be heard from are
principally those bordering on Arkan-
sas and Texas, which have large Dem
ocratic votes. These probably will
raise Bryan's plurality to $4,000.
Returns indicate that the legislature
will be composed Of 40 Democrats and
43 Republicans. This is gain of 25
for the Republicans, but the defeat of
United States Senator Gore is not
threatened.

by small majority; Bartless, Dem,
for congress, will win by heavy plu-
rality over Maxson, Rep, and Fitz-
