the political complexion of the New
Jersey senate from thirteen Republic
ans and eight Democrats to seventeen
Republicans and four Democrats is a
part of the task which the Republican
party in the state is seeking to accom-
plish in the election today.
The other part is to recover the reg
ular Republican delegation from Es-
sex county, thus making the house of
assembly consist of forty-five Repub-
licans and fifteen Democrats and to
stamp out the New Idea even in Pas
sale.
The chances have been pondered by
the Republican state committee and
by those men who would succeed
United States Senator Kean as well as
by Senator Kean himself who wants
to be reelected by the legislature OF
1911. The Republicans say that all in
dications point to success when the
votes are counted tonight.

HUNTING SEASON,
WITH GAME GALORE,
OPENED ON MONDAY
MANY LOCAL NIMRODS ARE AL
READY IN THE FOREST.

Monday marked the opening of
the rabbit season in this state, in
preparation for which scores of
Honesdale sportsmen arrayed as a
general rule in the canvas hunting
coat and trousers, and with one or
more dogs, are already in the differ
ent rural sections ready to wage a
relentless war of determination
against poor Bunny.
The hunting season may be said
to be in full swing now, and reports
from the experienced gunners are
that game is more plentiful this sea-
son than in some years past. The
reason for this is the careful en-
forcement of the law by the state
game wardens, also few ' serious
forest fires.
The law allows each hunter ten
rabbits day and woe unto the in
dividual who has a larger number
on meeting a game warden, for he
is liable 10 arrest and a fine. All
protected game is now in season,
save the deer season, which opens
December /.
In view of the fact that more or
less fires always occur during the
fall season, the following act is
quoted:
BE it enacted, That any person
or persons who shall wantonly and
wilfully kindle any fire on the lands
of another, so as to set on fire any
wood lands, barren or moors, within
the limits Of this commonwealth,
and on conviction thereof shall be
sentenced to pay a fine not exceed
ing three hundred dollars and un-
dergo an Imprisonment not exceed
ing twelve months, or either or
both, at the discretion of the court /;
the prosecutions for such offenses
may be commenced at any time with
in two years from the commission
thereof.
Section Q. Upon the conviction
of any person or persons, for any OF
the offenses aforesaid, the commits
sioners of the county in which such
conviction is had, shall pay to the
prosecutor in every such case the
sum of fifty dollars out of the coun-
ty treasury as a reward for the ap-
prehension and conviction of the
offender, and the defendant or de-
PENDANTS shall pay the same, with
the costs as in other cases, into the
hands of the sheriff for the use OF
the county, and nothing herein con-
tanned shall prevent the prosecutor
from being a competent witness in
the prosecution aforesaid"

HENEY'S WORK AN ISSUE.
San Francisco Republicans Weary of
His Graft Prosecutions.

San Francisco Republicans Weary of
His Graft Prosecutions.
San Francisco, Nov. 2.-Veteran poll
ticians are at sea over the probable
result Of the municipal election today.
This uncertainty is due to the fact that
the contest for the mayoralty is three
cornered and that this struggle has in
volved a number Of other municipal
officers, thus breaking down the usual
party lines.
So far as registration goes, William
Crocker, Republican, should win, as
his party registered 1907 votes
against 1912 Democratic and 12,030
Union Labor votes, but the large min
ority of the reform Republicans are
against Crocker because his support
ers refused to support the candidacy
Of Francis ]. Heney for district attor-
ney.
Crocker stands as the representative
Of the business and professional inter
ests Of the city. which are weary of
graft prosecutions by Heney and Ru-
dolph Spreckels.

NO trace OF missing newark Ster0y-
man Found In London.
London, Nov. 2.-Inquiries made in
all directions here and hereabouts fail
to elicit any information as to the
whereabouts OF the Rev. Henry G..
Vanderbeek, who resigned as pastor
OF the Forest Hill Presbyterian church
OF Newark, N. j., several months ago
to go abroad for postgraduate course
In theology.
The statement received here was to
the effect that the missing clergyman
after reaching Europe in July seemed
to drop out OF sight and that his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Vanderbeek
OF Tenafy, N. j., are alarmed about
him. A friend OF the clergyman's,
Robert Reisenbeck, who was with him
In Berlin, said Mr.. vanderbeek left
the German capital on July 10, saying
he was going TO London for a few
days.
He left no address. and nothing has

Fraud Alleged at New York
MayOraIy Election.
HEAVY VOTE IS CAST EARLY.
More Than a Million People Will Be
on Streets Tonight to Find Out
Whether Gaynor, Hearst
or Barnard Wins.

New York, Nov. 2.-All over the I'm
ion today heavy vote is being cast
in municipal and state elections, and
with dispatches from all sections at
hand it is evident that the most excit-
ing of all is that over the mayoralty
here.
In New York city heavy vote was
cast during the forenoon, and there
were many arrests for alleged illegal
Charges Of wholesale frauds were
made by Herbert Parsons of the Re-
publican county committee and by the
leaders of the Civic Alliance, whose
candidate is William r. Hearst.
Governor Hughes, who came here
from Albany to cast his vote, sent
messages to the sheriffs Of New York,
Kings and Queens counties and to the
superintendent of elections as follows:
You are directed to take all necessary
measures and precautions within your
authority to see that the election is con-
Quoted without disorder, intimidation and
fraud and that the provisions of the cleo
ton law are fully enforced.
You will be held strictly accountable for
the performance OF your duty.
1t is expected that more than a mil
lion persons will gather at central
points in the city tonight to find out
whether william J. Gaynor, Otto T.
Barnard or William r. Hearst Is elect
ed mayor.
Barnard will get 100000 votes and
will have 10000 plurality" said Her
bert Parsons, chairman Of the Repub-
iican county committee, 'Judgp GsEs
nor WIN be second in the race with a
total Of 10000"
Democratic leaders reckon that
Judge Gaynor will get 100000 votes
out of the $4,000 cast for the three
leading mayoralty candidates.
Except in Massachusetts, where the
fight over members Of the legislature
Is largely based on the proposed in
come tax amendment to the federal
constitution, the issues in today's elec-
ton are purely local or state wide.
Governors are being elected in Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Virginia.
Members of the legislature and jul
dietary are being elected in many
states.
The hottest city fights outside of
New York are in Philadelphia, San
Francisco and Cleveland. In all three
cities the contests have been particu-
larly bitter, and charges of corruption
have been freely made. In New York
state there are mayoralty campaigns
Dat Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, Syra-
bcuse and many smaller points.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-The municipal
contest in this city Overshadows the
.eaf7Fa;sa IN the state Tie light OF
the reform element against the local
Republican organization has been a
spirited one, and every effort is being
made to bring out the full strength Of

that the total vote will equal IL it
does not exceed that cast at the last
presidential election.
The fight in Philadelphia centers
about the Office Of district attorney.
The Republican organization asserts
that Samuel p. Rotan will be re-elect-
ed by $4,000 majority, while the re-
formers have issued statements that
d. Clarence Gibboney, who is on the
William Penn party and Democratic
tickets, will defeat Rotan by 10000.
Among disinterested citizens the fight
appears to be exceedingly close.

the District of Columbia.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Colonel Perry
Carson, the negro politician, who once
enjoyed national notoriety as boss

Lincoln knew of him and provided
civil employment for him with the
army In the civil war until Carson en-

the authorities at West Point may
come to look at the matter in differ
ent way.
Football is not regarded as a sport
merely, but as a great developer of
manly and officerlike qualities. AS
the midshipmen and cadets are being
trained for service in which injury
and death are natural incidents it is
felt that it is unwise to allow so re-
grettable an incident as a death of one
of the players to make change in
the established order.
There is also some hope for the
game in the fact that it can only be
Cancelled by order OF the departments,
which have already sanctioned the
game in Philadelphia.
General Franklin Bell, chief of staff
of the army, has expressed himself as
willing for the game to be played, and
this is the overwhelming feeling of
ranking naval officers. Under these
circumstances the game may still be
played, but there is no doubt that the
navy will agree to its cancellation un-
less Colonel Scott withdraws his re-
quest.
