THE GENERAL RESULTS.

The elections hold yesterday through
out the coIntry show that MaSsachu-
sets and Rhode Island have reelected
Republican governors, while Virginia
has returned Democrat to this office.
New York City has elected the Demo-
cratic candidate, Judge William j.
Gaynor, to the Office of mayor, while in
Philadelphia, the efforts of the reform
ers to break the Republican organiza-
ton have failed.
In New Jersey the Republicans held
their own everywhere
Tom l.. Johnson. Dem, has been
defeated as mayor of Cleveland, Ohio.
The latest returns from San Francis
co Indicate that Francis j. Haney,
Dem, has been defeated for district at
tcrney.
In Maryland the paramount issue
was the so-calcd disfranchisinS
amendment designed to eliminate the
Negro as a political factor. The returns
in this state came in slowly and the
result is still uncertain The indica-
tons are however, that the amendment
has been defeated.
In Indiana the Republicans scored
several important Victories particu-
larly in indianapolis, where Samuel
Lewis Shank. Rep, was elected mayor

Thc Republcans carried Massachu-
history of the Bay state, for nearly a
quarter Of century. The entire ticket
was elected but Eben s. Diapers plu-
rality was cut down from 10000 last
year to 5000
1T is apparent that Gov. Pothicr.
Rep. has been reelected over Oincy
Arnold, Dem. in Rhode Island by sew
eral thousand majority and that the
COMMISSION of the next Legislature will
remain Republican.
The Democratic victory in Virginia

He had been corresponding with a

LORD ROBERTS IN MPASSION-

FIGHTING WITHIN TWENTY

LONDON, June 9.--Predictine
that Great Britain will be involved
lin war within twenty months,
Lord Roberts today took issue
with War Secretary Haldane, who
told the imperial press conference
that the empire would have its
defense developed within twenty
months.
Haldane dismissed the foreign
situation with the statement that
the next twenty years would prove
most important in the develop
men of the imperial defense and
intimated that the nation relied
materially on the colonies.
Lord Roberts was upon his feet
In an instant.
"It is impossible for us to look
forward to a period of twenty
years peace in which to prepare
ourselves" he cried. II am In
olined to reduce the period to
months. II you will pay atten-
|tion to an old soldier I counsel
you that the present situation de-
mands the closest attention. We
cannot evade our responsibility
nor defer action.
"The great question facing us
at this time is are we prepared
to fight now?'"

Seeking Woman in
Cleminson Mystery

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
CHICAGO, June 9.-The police
now think that DR.. Haldane Gle
minson, the prisoner under arrest.
charged with wife murder, may
not have intended to kill the wom-
an when he gave her poison but
may have wished only to Supply
her 80 that she would not object
to his leaving the house to follow
up one of the. fiirtations they al
lege they are. now. investigating.
The determination of the prose-
|cution to block all avenues of es-
cape for the prisoner was shown
today when they had him exam
ined by an alienist.
Find Pretty Blonde.
Miss Anna Kolb. q pretty
blonde, was brought to headquar-
ters and examined by the police
in connection with the Cleminson
case. She admitted knowing the
prisoner. but said 1t was only In
a professional way. She was a
patient at the hospital when the
Mysterious Mrs. Berg" whom
the police have vainly been trying
to locate, was a nurse.
There was a lively scene later
when the police brought Miss
Kolb to the prisoners cell. Both
insisted that their relations had
been nothing more than that OF
doctor and patient. But when the
detectives pressed their examlpa-
tiom, Miss Kolb suddenly turned
to Cleminson and said weepingly:
81 think 1t Is due me that you
tell them who this woman Is that
they think ! am. My reputation
is being hurt by this affair"
Nothing is due you or anybody
else" retorted the physician. an
grily, land you had better keep
your mouth Shut"
Miss Kolb then became hysteri-
cal In her demands that Clemin-
son clear her reputation" but
when the prisoner turned a deaf
ear she made none of the revela-
tions the police were hoping for.
They still believe that the girl can
give them valuable information.
