NEGROES VOTE EARLY.
Intense Interest in the Election
Manifested In Montgomery County.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, November I'm
tense interest, occa sioned by the proposed
suffrage amendment coupled with beau
tiful weather and unusual activity by
both parties. brought out a heavy vote In
Montgomery county today. The negroes.
at whose political life the amendment is
aimed. were right on the job. and the
number who failed to go to the polls was
small.
BY noon the vote was practically all in.
Judging from appearances the illiterates
of both parties experienced less difficulty
than usual in marking their tickets and
it is thought the number of rejected bal
lots because of improper marking, will
be smaller than usual. 1t was reported
that several of the democratic candidates
were being knitted. but to what extent
there was no way of ascertaining.
Reports from the various polling places
throughout the county were to the erect
that the election was passing off quietly,
and that there was entire freedom from
disorders of all kind. The indications
were that the corrupt practices act was
being strictly observed. and that neither
side was resOrting to the use of money
or whisky to influence the voters. The
that the vote in the county would show
a good majority in favor of the suffrage
amendment, and that all the democrats
on the ticket would receive substantial
majorities.
The republicans declare the chances IA
vor the success of several of their candi-
dates.
Indications at noon were that an I'M
usually heavy vote would be poled at the
Bethesda district, which includes Chevy
Chase. long line Of voters was waiting
when the polls opened al O'Clock this
morning. More attention is being paid to
the amendment than to the rest of the
ticket.

FAvoRs DISTRICT RESIDENT.
Postmaster Generals Views o
Washington Appointment.

Postmaster General Hitchcock is not
disposed to run counter to the wishes of
the people Of the District in recommend
ing a man to succeed the late Benjamin
r. Barnes as postmaster OF Washington.
Mr.. Hitchcock was in the city for short
time yesterday afternoon very unexpect-
eddy and discussed the subject hurriedly.
He was not ready to say he would
recommend to President Taft the APP
pointment of a man born and bred i'm the
District, or a man who has no legal resi-
dence in a state. but he did say he would
probably name a man who has lived in
Washington for a number OF years and
Is closely identified with Washington in
terests.
Mr. Hitchcock said he wanted to see
the local post Office a model for the rest
of the country in every respect. and
would do all In his power to make it and
keep it SO.
He will return to the city in a few days
and will doubtless have more to say on
the subject of the local postmastership.
There will be no definite action on his
or the Presidents part until after Con-
gress convenes i'm December.

Indicated Large Vote in the
Police Court District.

With clear skies and an carly turnout.
the prospects were for heavy vote in
The Police Court district today. with p
whole lot of upset prophecies. Although
the ballot showed no candidates for
higher places, there were a score OF con-
testants for such offices as Chief Vag.

the like.
No one thought that Tom Johnson
would get into the campaign. but he did.
Not three-cent-fare johnson, of course.
but another student of street car condi-
lions, Who made an ante-election tour OF
the pay -as-you-enter cars to prime HIM
self with solid facts for the mass OF
voters. Johnson got on one car and re-
fused to pass inside when the conductor
told him to.
You cannot herd me i'm there with a
lot of sheep he said, as he paid his
fare.
Later the conductor and motorman
combined to eject him. The traction in
terests made a desperate fight to beat
Johnson. but Judge Muliowny east the
deciding ballot. and Johnson went on his;
way rejoicing that a charge of disorderly
conduct had been dismissed
John Bresnahan was collecting cam
paign funds last night, a nickel at A

John to the judge. John said he had a
bag full of coin. and threw a lot OF il on
the judges bench. and also decla red that
he had held Office under Supt. Zinkhan
at the workhouSe for fifteen DAYS, and
wanted to retire from the race. At the
urgent request of some of his con-
stituentS he was elected to serve ninety
days more, with the assurance that he
can resign when certain friends come
forward to prove that he is not eligible
for Office as vag.
There was a mix-up i'm the ballots in
the case of Lizzie Smith. She was can
didate for loud royster on the FoDyy
Bottom independent ticket, but the clerk
had the ballots written Bessie Smith. IL
was discovered in time and Lizzie won
out without vote cast against her and
will hold down a job for fifteen days
over near the Eastern branch.
John Hardy. another solicitor of cam
paign funds. tried to interest plain

man was a formidable rival. Hardy pre-
pared some campaign literature last night
and mailed il to Judge Mulowny. setting
forth his own virtues i'm glowing terms.
The judge said il was convincing stuff,
and helped Hardy get a three-month job.

Democratic Gain in Norwell.
loft Year" and Rain Make
Liqht Vote in Providence

PROVIDENCE r. L., November q
Rain and the fact that politically this is
an "off year" tended to make the vote for
state officers light. In some localities,
however, there were contests which
brought the voters to the polls in full
force.
Apart from the fight over the governor
ship between Aram j. Pothier repub-
lican), the incumbent of the office and
Olney Arnold. democrat, the adoption or
rejection of three constitutional amend
ments afforded the chief interest.
The question OF issuing a state loan for
the Improvement OF the Providence har-
Dor was also being voted on.

FAMILY OF FOUR MURDERED
ATROCIOUS CRIME REVEALED
NEAR BLUEFIELD. w. VA.
Dwelling Burned and Bodies PARTIAL
ly Destroyed-Robbery Believed
to Have Been Motive!

BLUEFIELD. W. Va. November a.
The clarred bodies OF four members or
the family OF George Hood, an aged
white man. were found I'm the ruins
Of the Hood home at Harper. The house
was destroyed by fire for the pur-
pose. the police believe, OF covering mp
a quadruple murder. Robbery Is believed
To have been the motive for the crime.
The body of George Hood was removed
while the flames were still at their height.
From the ruins the charred and black
ened corpses of Washington Hood. aged
thirty-five years: his sister, aged twenty
seven, and their niece. aged twelve years.
We're taken. The body Of George Hood.
seventy years old. had the head almost
severed. as was seen when il was dragged
from the house.
Theory of officials.
The burned building was two-story
frame structure, the upper floor being
occupied by the Hoods. while i'm the
rooms below was a restaurant conducted
by negro. The theory is that the house
was fired after the inmates had been
murdered. though there Is not the slight
est clue to the perpetrator- Officers
Immediately went TO the scene with
bloodhounds but. ii Is said. the dogs
Idueu 10 ma a tfdli. Inc ROBBERY Theory
was suggested by the fact that Wash
ington Hood Saturday had shown over
500 in the negro restaurant.
A younger Hood was attending serv-
ices Sunday night at a church near the
home, and IL was from the church the
flames were first seen. Hood rushed
madly from the church. He fought his
way into the home, which was already a
roaring furnace, and forced his way up
the steps until he stumbled over the
corpse of his father. He managed to
drag the body down the stairs and out
into the yard. but when he attempted to
go for his sister. brother and little child
he found every entrance closed by the fu-
rious flames.
Hacked With Axes.
1t was claimed by some that the bod
les of Washington Hood and his sister
gave evidence of having been hacked with
axes, but the trunks were SO badly
burned that this could hardly be proven.
There seems little doubt. though, that
Washington Hoods throat had been cut
before the fire was started.
The money that Washington Hood had
exhibited in the negro restaurant the
night before the fire was all lin gold but
no trace of it was to be fbund in the
ruins.
