STARS BULLETINS
GIVE NEWARKERS
QUICKEST RETURNS
Outcome Flashed at 7 O'clock;
Crowds Remain During Rain
to Get Latest News.

Broad street, in front of the STAR
office. was blocked for five hours last
night by a crowd seeking news of the
election, not only in Newark, but also
in New York. 1t was a happy crowd,
one that took things good naturally If
things came their way and without
making any demonstration if the re-
turns went against them.
That the bulletin service given the
public by the STAR was appreciated is
shown by the fact that as early as G
o'clock people Interested in the election
results congregated in front of the STAR
office. And they stayed there, with eyes
glued on the canvas sheet on which the
results were flashed as fast as received
in the office.
A corps of trained reporters reinforced
by a host of special messengers brought
the returns to the STAR office from the
different districts, not only in Newark,
but throughout Essex county, the mo-
ment election officials had completed
their count
AS early as 7 o'clock the STAR was
able to forecast the result. At that time
the STAR bulletin said that Shoenthal
iNdu pccll tlCCltu SulfOBdtt ONcT INuSScll
and that the Republican ticket for AS
sembly had been elected. The fact that
Gaynor would be the next mayor OF
New FORK was flashed at about the
same time.
The rain that came shortly after
o'clock put a damper on the crowds
enthusiasm for a few minutes. Just be-
fore the rain came there was probably
1000 people in front of the STAR office
Gradually the watchers began to scat
ter, but hundreds remained, regardless
of getting wet, in order to get a peeh
at the latest returns as they same ovel

phone, ans were flashed on the bis
screen.
Even during the furry of rain thai
sent the crowd to cover for a few min
utes. the STAR bulletin board KEEP
busy. and fifteen minutes later thu
crowd was back watching the returns
as eagerly as ever. 1t was not unit
Good night" was flashed that thu
crowd finally faded away.

PHILADELPHIA SWEPT BY
BIG REPUBLICAN VOTE.
Local Organization Gets Ma
iOrity of $4,000.
ADJUSTMENTS.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-Penn-
sylvania elected the Republican candi.
dates for State treasurer. auditor-gen-
eral and judge of the Supreme Court
and Philadelphia overwhelmed the re-
formers opposition tc the local Re
publican organization, electlng that
party's entire county ticket by a ma
1ority of more than 43.000 in one of the
heaviest votes ever polled in the city.
]. A. Stober, of Lancaster. for State
treasurer, and A. E. Sisson, of Erie,
for auditor-general, came to Philadel-
phia and Allegheny counties with ma"
i~orities over their opponents in spite OF
Democratic gains in many counties. c.
La Rue Munson, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Justice of the Supreme Court,
who had made a strong canvass ran
well ahead of his ticket, and it is prob
able that the large Republican MAORI
ties of Philadelphia and Allegheny
counties were needed to elect Judge
Won Moschzisker, of Philadelphia.
The proposed amendments to the
State constitution a~bolishing .ipring
elections were generally ignored, but
were adopted by varying majorities.
The majority for the victorious ticket
IN the State will reach nearly 100000.
The total vote in Philadelphia for dis
trict attorney, or which Office the fight
was made, was Samuel p. Rotan, Re-
publican, 149, 1888; D.. C. Gibboney,

CURTAILMENT AT COTTON
MILLS is NOT GENERAL.
Fine Goods Makers Will Not
Make Reductions.

BOSTON, Nov. 3.-Misleading reports
have been sent out as to the extent OF
the shutdown of New England cotton
mills. The members of the Arkwright
Club are far from being a unit in the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES movement
promoted by the executive committee
of this organization. The resolution
favoring curtailment which was passed
by the club recently Is purely sug-
gestive, and o binding. Yet even in
that form it did not obtain a unani-
nous vote.
There may be a curtailment. and
many mills may enter into the move
ment, but that will depend on the price
of raw cotton. The manufacturers of
fne-count goods. of print cloths, of
ginghams and of certain specialties are
too we'll covered with contracts and
cotton to be in a position to sign a def
mite agreement to curtail.
up to the present the whole curtail-
ment movement is, in a sense, a specu-
lative movement, with Patten and other
cotton spectators at one end of the
bluff and the mill owners at the
other. Which bluff will win remains to
be seen.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The cotton
market opened steady, at an advance
of 5 to I points, and quickly sold s to II
points net higher. All positions made
new high records, n trading was ac-
tive and excited as a result Of sensa-
tional gains in Liverpool and New Or
leans yesterday. Realizing was enor-
nous on the early advance, but prices
held some 5 to 7 points net higher, on
talk of bullish ginners' figures and
covering by foreign shorts.
Rumors hat Mr.. Patten had advised
realizing were denied during the late
forenoon, but their circulation was ac-
companied by heavy general selling.
while numerous stop-loss- orders were
uncovered a shade under the closing
figures of Monday. January cotton de-
clined from 1901, the high point, to
14.74, while May sold off from 1923 to
1893, and the general list from a net
advance of Soil points to a net decline
of about 1903 points. Trading con-
tinued very active. and prices at mid
day were a little up from the lowest,
showing a net loss OF 1o@12 points on
the active positions.

IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
NEW ENGLAND TOBACCO
CROP TO BRING MILLIONS.
Big Price Will Be Paid for Years
Yield.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Nov. "A
record tobacco crop in point of returns
to the farmer has been harvested in
New England. While it is true that
the prices obtained per pound for the
famous 1892 yield will not be equaled
by this seasons crop, and also true
that the 1907 tobacco acreage exceeded
that of either this year or last, the
fact remains that increased acreage
as compared with 1892 will bring the
aggregate value of this years crop well
above that of 1892, and that the higher
price of the 1909 crop. as compared
with the yield of 1907, insures returns
a third larger than those of 1907.
Conservative estimates are that the
1900 acre crop of New England to-
bacco will yield the growers between
Sc, 900, 900 and $500, 900, that upward of
81, 900, 900 of this mount will go to Con-
necticut Valley growers, and that the
farmers of Suffield, Conn, alone will
receive lot less than 81. 25o,OOO for the
$500 acres of fin lea grown in that
town.
Estimating that 1t costs s 1,500.0 900 to
| operate the warehouses in which the
| tobacco is sorted and packed during
the winter. the principal item being
for labor, the new tobacco crop will
put about 5000. 900 in circulation among
the oppressed agriculturists in the New
England tobacco belt. who ride in
autos in summer, spend their winters
in Florida and send their sons and
daughters to college.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 3.-The Off
cial knell of Tom L.. Johnson, four times
mayor of Cleveland, vas rung today.
After working all night h board of
election commissioners announced that
in his fifth mayoralty campaign john
son had been defeated by Herman C,
Baehr.
With one precinct missing early today
the returns gave Johnson Z 1902; Baehr,
Al, 2S5. While Johnson went to defeat,
the entire city ticket, except N. d.
Baker, city solicitor, who was reelected,
and the new Council will be strongly
Republican in aspect. WEAKNESS of
the public over the long delays In get
ting a definite and satisfactory traction
settlement is credited largely with

AMERICANS LOSE COTTON
MARKET IN MANCHURIA.
japanese and British Exporters
Winning Trade.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Japan is
driving American manufacturers of
cotton goods out of the Manchnrlan
markets, according to a report from
Fred D. Fisher, United States consul at
Newchwang. Since 1905. he says, the
sale of American cotton goods there has
shown no material increase. while the
Japanese products and British articles
have forged steadily ahead in popu-
larity.
The trouble seems to be in the meth.
DDS adopted by American manufacture
ers in distributing their goods. They
have established their depot in Shang-
hal, from which point all wares are
distributed. This method is unsatisfac-
tory to the small dealers of Manchuria
and the Japanese and British houses
have profited. Mr.. Fisher urges Ameri-
can exporters to sci energetic agents
to Manchuria to push their goods, and
to establish depots in all of the larger
cities.

TREASURER OF BIG
FOUR IN CINCINNATI
100000 SHORT
6. L. Warmer COnfesses to Big
Defalcation, Caused, 1t Is Said
by Stock Speculation.

NEW YORK, Nov. &c. L. War
riner, until last Monday treasurer of
the Cincinnati offices of the Big -Four
railroad passenger department, is ac-
cused of being short in his accounts.
While the mount is not given, it is
believed the shortage may reach $780,
900. Warmer made a statement in the
office of Albert H. Harris, vice-presi-
dent of the Big Four and general coun-
sci Of the New York Central lines, in
the Grand Central station. Warmer
admitted taking money and it is said
declared stock gambling had been his
ruin.
For hours the accused treasurer was
closely questioned by Mr.. Harris in the
presence of L. J.. Hackney, general
counsel of the Big -Four; Vice-Pres-
ident Christensen, of the New York
Central lines, and e. V. w. Rossiter,
financial head of the system.
After this searching examination the
officers held a long conference as to
the best course TO pursue in WARMERS
case and Warmer started last night
for Cincinnati. He was under surveil-
lance n every movement is said to
nave been closely watched, although he
was not under arrest. Mr.. Harris said
last night the amount of the shortage
was considerable" but he could not
namo the exact figures.
AN investigation is now under way
at Cincinnati" said Mr.. Harris, and
we shall have to wait until it is fin
ished before we can deal in exact fig
ures. The railroad company, however.
carried an indemnity policy In War
riner's case to the amount of s50, 900,
issued by the American Surety Com
pany, and a claim on account of the
losses through Warmer is now being
made under this policy.
THE shortage was discovered when
the auditor in Cincinnati instituted a
new system in the treasury depart
ment. Mr.. Warmer did not deny that
his account was short. He admitted
taking money that did not belong tc
him. Mr.. Warmer has been with the
Big Four for ten or fifteen years. He
has a wife and several children. He
was among the most trusted employees
of the road"

WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown Sentiment-Several specula-
tive interests who have been active in
the stock market for some time say
that while they believe that the trend
of prices will be upward, they do not
look for special activity within the next
few weeks. They think that even the
active stocks will be dealt in only on
q comparatively moderate scale, and
that the ~fuctuation will not be rapid
in either direction. Unless there is
some unexpected development of a de-
cidedly adverse character, they do not
believe hat the market will experience
a big break. AT the moment the bear
party does not seem inclined toward
special agg~ressiveness. out it is sug-
gested that If the market should be-
come notably dull the leaders might
make a fresh attack.
Indications are quite favorable TO
further improvement in the stock mar
ket during the remainder of the week.
Speculative sentiment. generally speak
ing, has been much more cheerful dur
ing the last few days than it has been
at any time In the month just closed.
The trend of the market again appear-
ing upward, stocks should be bought
on all slight recessions. Much higher
prices are confidently expected by the
end of the month. Copper trade is i'm
proving and the stock market is re-
fecting it, After months of failure to
respond to the general trade recovery,
the stock in the copper business is
gradually being taken. Brokers advise
purchases of good copper stocks. Anal
gamated Copper is more the barometer
of trade conditions and the mirror of
speculative opinion in h copper world
rather than a stock which represents
intrinsic value. 1t will, however, lead
the copper stocks. London is very bull
ish on Rock Island.

these were the election of Samuel

Campaigns in most Of the cities were
