TAFT'S VOICE GIVES OUT
 AND HE MUST TAKE REST

New York, October 19.--That Judge Taft's voice is in such bad condition that he will have to cancel many of his dates for speaking, was indicated by Chairman Hitchcock on his return today from morning visit with Mir. Taft at Newark, N. J. This means d encouragement of MT. Taft's itinerary but 1t will not affect his dates in New York.
 The encouragement will cut out all of MT. Taft's day speeches, and one of his night speeches. The latter Is the speech which had been planned for Chicago next Saturday night.
 It is also expected that most of MT. Taft's dates in West Virginia and all in Connecticut may be cancelled.

WOMAN IS DENIED
 RIGHT TO VOTE

New York, October 19.-Justce Truax in the supreme court today denied a motion on behalf of Dr. Julia Seaton Sears that the registration board be re- convened and ordered to register Dr. Sears as voter TOT the presidential-ele ton. The board at its regular session had refused to register the complainant as a qualified voter. Miss Mary Cole man, who appeared for pr. Sears, argued that as the latter had voted at three presidential eiections in Colorado, the re- fusal to register her here was in eff feet a denial of the provision of the United States constitution hat no citi- en shall be deprived of rights acquired under that instrument Miss Coleman did not claim for her client the right to vote for state officers here.

JUDGE PARKER THINKS
 OHIO IS SAFE FOR BRYAN

New York. October 19.-Judge Alton B. Parker returned today from a speaking tour in the middle states. He said that he found democrats in all sections of Ohio through which he went thoroughly organ ized and very hard at work to secure 8 victory, which the great majority of them really expect. He added
 Their expectations are not based on their hopes but are based on factors which they have very carefully weighed. Or ganized labor, for instance, it is certain will add many thousands of votes to Bry- an and Kern. At this stage of the can vass the negro vote seems to be an. im- portant factor. The democrats did not early attach much importance to 1t, the

FIVE KILLED IN
 INDIAN BATTLE

Mssoula, Mont, october 1s.-A tele- phone message from ovando, Powell county says that Deputy Warden c. E. Peyton and four Flathead Indians arc dead as a result of a fight between Dep uty Peyton and his assistant Herman Rudolph. and band of Flathead h. X 'ians near Hollands Prairie on Swan
 ger yesterday afternoon.
 keyton and Rudolph were attempting o$arrest the Indians for hunting without a license and killing deer in excess of the number permitted by law. Peyton went to the camp of the Indians and told them they must accompany him to Missoula. Without warning they fired on the deputy with rifles. The fire was returned by Peyton and Rudolph.
 Yellow Head was one of the Indians killed. The squaws escaped.

Dr. Richardson, the throat specialist, who is travelling with MT. Taft. is of the opinion that MT. Taft's voice has speaking. By abandoning the day speeches, which were to have been made out of doors, it is believed by Dr. Richardson that MT. Taft will be able to meet all of his night engage ments with the exception of that at Chicago.
 MT. Hitchcock said that he never saw the candidate looking better and that MT. Taft is more hopeful of the result than he has been at any time since the campaign began. He will rest in Ohio on Wednesday.
 Chairman Hitchcock believes from information he has received that there is fighting chance in Missouri for the republican national ticket.

feeling was that they were so loyal to the republican party that in the end they would be eoaXed into line, but as to a number of thousands of them this has not happened as yet. On the contrary they seem to be growing more determined to administer rebuke to the President and MT Taft as election draws near, and in this they are encouraged by many of their clergy. It is claimed by the leading Ohio democrats that they have never had more effective organization than today and they are working with confidence that they will be able to make gains in the state and give the electoral vote to Bryan. In a general way this expresses the situation in Indiana, although at this time it seems to me that the indications point to larger percentage of democratic gain than in Ohio"

 This same policy is being followed out in the other doubtful states. Particular attention is being paid to the coal mining regions and to the sections where there is apparent doubt as to the solidity of the labor vote.

 Again, MT. Bryan proposes to cut off the trusts as you cut tree, at 50 per cent of it's height.

The citizens living IN the vicinity OF

spanning the Spruce street entrance 70
&. the work or Il having beer,
finished to-day. 1t lends a very fine
appearance to the grounds and vines
will be planted at its base so that they
will twine overhead.
The arch is made Of steel and strong
ly constructed. The families living
thereabouts have long desired such an
ornament, but it was only within the
last week hat subscriptions enough lad
been secured to make the plan possible.
WOrl1men had been engaged in con-
structing the arch during the week ara
the final work on it was completed this
morning. When the vines that are to
be planted soon have grown over ths
steel frame the appearance will be
much more beautiful and provide a
very pretty entrance gate to the
grounds.
