grined became the majority of his
audience who resented the idea Of a
campaign address being made in the

their indignation during the remarks.
A couple of times during the adj
dress d. w. Anderson arose and was
compelled to correct some of the mis-
statements being made by the speak
er, especially when the speaker
charged the republican party with be-
ing responsible for the disfranchise-
ment of the negro.
The speaker offered to step down
from the platform and let Mr.. Ander-
son speak. but he told him to go ahead
and finish his speech and then, If CIV

But Mr. Anderson did not get to
speak, for just as soon as Taylor got
through, the chairman dismissed the
meeting in hurry, without giving
anyone chance to say another word.

PEOPLES MILITIA
FIGHT TROOPS.
Story Of Russian Refugee In
POuren ExtraditiOn Case.

New York, Nov. 10.-Stories of bat
ties between Russian governmental
troops and the militia organized
among the Russian people were told
on the witness stand by Jan Licit,
former neighbor of Jan Pouren, whom
the Russian government is seeking to
extradite.
Asked why the militia with which
he had been connected had attacked
the government soldiers, the witness
replied:
because they had taken two of our
comrades, tied them to horses and
dragged them face downward over the
ground" One of these, he said, was
Otto Freiberg.
Although the Russian counsel OBJ
iected, t.: witness was permitted to
describe the mutilation of Freiberg's
body. lie also told of five other
bodies that he had seen at the same
time. One, he said, had been terribly
mutilated, or, as he expressed it, "all
broken to pieces"
The witness then told of the election
Of Pouren as an officer of the militia.
In relating the incidents in connection
with his own flight from Russia, Jan
Licit told of hiding in forests in the
deep snow in his efforts to escape from
the government authorities.
When counsel for Russia demanded
why he had left that country, the wit
ness said:
Because the Russian government
wanted to hang me, shoot me, and was
always after me-"
Pressed closely as to the route he
had followed to flee the country, the
witness refused to answer, saying
that 1t might prevent others from get
ting away.

Carmack, editor of the Tennesseean,
was shot and killed in Seventh ave-
nue. North, in front of the Polk flats,
by Robin Cooper, son Of Colonel

tol but did not fire.
Senator Carmack fell to the ground

right shoulder, but was not severely
hurt.
II is said that the trouble is one Of
the results of the recent Democratic
gubernatorial primary In which Car

Democratic machine and had printed
several editorials about Col Cooper

Colonel Cooper told Carmack that
these editorial criticisms must cease
Yesterday another editorial reference
to Colonel Cooper appeared in the Ten

OWES LIFE TO DAUGHTER.
Her Quick Wit and Bravery Saved
Postmaster Morgan.

New York, Nov. 10. - Edward NJ.
Morgan, postmaster of New York city,
who was wounded in the abdomen by
bullet fired by Z. H. B. Mackay, an
eccentric English stenographer, who
then committed suicide, is resting
well, and unless complications de-
velop he will recover.
Mr.. Morgan probably owes his life
to the quick wit and bravery of his IA.
year-old daughter, Dorothy, who saw
Mackay draw his revolver, and struck
it with her hand This detected the
bullet, otherwise the postmaster would
have been fatally wounded, for his as
Eailant was at close range and fired
four shots in all. The shooting oc-
Cured at 146th street and only short
distance from Mr.. Morgan's home.
He was on his way down town at the
time.
An investigation of the life and rec
ord of Mackay reveals that he was OF
morbid nature and a former inmate
of an asylum in Worcester, Mass.
That his act was premeditated is made
certain by a letter he left, but aside
from a fancied grievance against Mr.
Morgan and the postoffice authorities
concerning the handling Of his mail
nothing has come to light to indicate
why he should have sought to murder
the postmaster. His clothing when
searched gave up between thirty and
forty smokeless cartridges, heavy
slungshot, a knife with a four-inch
blade and clasp knife.
A quantity Of literature on social
Ism and slungshot similar to the
one found on the body were discovered
in his room. That he was rational
during work hours, however, was at
tested by the Broadway firm Of law
yers where he was employed.

SERVED IN BOTH HOUSES.
In the Senate He Made a Number Of
Brilliant Speeches.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Ex-senator
Carmack, who was killed on a street
in Nashville, is well remembered in
Washington, where he served in both
houses of congress. During his SEN
atorial career from 1901 to 1907, he
made a number of brilliant speeches
Although inclined to be sarcastic in
some of his utterances, he had many
friends in congress among both Dem
ocrats and Republicans who admired
his fearlessness and his intellectual
attainments.
During his congressional career he
constantly attacked the Republican
administration, in connection among
others, with the Indianola, Browns
Vile and Panama revolution incidents,
executive encroachments, etc, and his
speeches on the subject of the Philip
pine tariff and in answer to Senator
Foraker on the negro Shooting up"
incident at Brownsville, are among
those particularly recalled by the Ten
nesseeans admirers. In the senate
he was q minority member of the
committee on philippines.

DEMAND FOR RECOUNT.
Reelection of Governor Deneen to
Be Contested by Adlai E. Stevenson.

BE contested py AolaI Z. stevenson.
The election of Governor Charles
S. Deneen to serve another term as
governor of Illinois will be tested by
his defeated Democratic rival, ac.
cording to a signed statement is
sued on Friday night by Charles
Boeschenstein, chairman of the Dem
ocratic state central committee. The
statement follows:
81 am convinced that with a correct
count and an honest canvass Adlai e.
Stevenson has plurality of the vote
cast in the election last Tuesday for
governor of Illinois. We will demand
that the ballots be recounted. The
demand for recount will be made up
on the legislature as provided for in
the statutes"
Governor Deneen's plurality is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000. Ben
II. Atwell, secretary to Chairman
Boeschenstein, explained that errors
in the count have already been dis
covered in several precincts, and it was
calculated that if only three ballots in
each of the 4,040 voting precincts in
Illinois were taken from Deneen and
given on recount to Stevenson the lat
ter would be found to have won the
election.
