LOWERED Fl. sUMPTER FLAG
Veteran of Famous Battle Celebrates
Anniversary of Event by Play
ing Billiards.

April IS was the forty-ninth ami
versary of the taking of Fort Sumter
by the confederate forces. There has
identity of the man who fired the first
shot in that famous fight; but there
has never been question as to the
identity of the man who. on that 18th
of April, 1860, lowered the American
flag from over the fort in the first de-
feat suffered by the Union army in
the Civil war. The man was Lieut..
Col. H. W. Hammer, now a resident
of Los Angeles, and the old man, now
more than seventy years old, cele-
brated the fall of that famous fort by
playing billiards all afternoon with
fellow soldier at his hotel
Although having passed his three
score years and ten, the old soldier
is hale and hearty, and the hand that
held the billiard cue was as steady
and the eye as clear as they were 40
years ago, when he lowered the flag
1t is his boast that he can outwork
many man 20 years younger than
nor chews, and he thinks nothing of
starting out in the morning for ten
mile ramble over the hills.
Colonel Hammers memory in re.
gard to the taking of the fort is won.
derfully clear, and to hear him tell OF
the events which took place during
the battle, one would think they had
happened yesterday instead of nearly
half century ago.
81 was regimental quartermaster
sergeant, First artillery" said Colonel
Hammer. II was assigned to Fort
4 Moultrie, but was transferred with
two companions of artillery to Fort
Sumter, which was located about 300
yards from Moultrie. The reason for
abandoning Fort Moultrie was that 1t
could be easily swept by rifle fire
from the tops of the nearby houses.
"The confederate troops were sta
toned in front of Sumter, and when
they saw US transferring all our forces
to that fort they began building bat
teries. The next day, the 18th of
April, they sent demand to Major
Anderson, who was in command Of
Fort Sumter, to surrender. Anderson
refused, and word was sent that I'M
less he surrendered within an hour
they would open fire.
Our supplies were low. He had
heard that Lincoln was sending relief,
but whether or not we could hold out
until it reached us we did not know.
Our ammunition was low, too.
Anderson agreed that unless pro
visions reached us by the fifteenth we
would leave the fort, and meanwhile

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE
Eastern Returns Indicate a
Change-Champ Clark
TO be Speaker.

With Democratic majorities in five
Eastern states. according TO incom-
plete returns, Indications point to q
plete returns. a Democratic House OF
Representatives seems assured. The
returns so far indicate a Demo
cratic landslide in the East. Later
returns may alter the result.
At present the Republicans have a
majority of forty-two in the House OF
Representatives To overturn this
majority, change of twenty-five con-
gressmen is required. The Democrats
expect a majority of ten to fifteen.
Should the Democrats carry the
House of Representatives. Champ
Clark will be speaker. Should the
Democrats lead, the House OF Repre-
sentatives would be Democratic foi
the first time since the last admins
tration OF Cleveland.
A dispatch from St. Louis early
this morning said that the next hous:
would be Democratic by majority ci

James A. Reed and John c. Mt
Kinley will go before the state legis-
lature as nominees of the Democratic

lieved the legislature will be Demo

insure the election of Mr.. Reed to the
senate to succeed William Warner.
The St. Louis Republic early this

the Democratic nomination over Fran

Jackson county gave Reed a good ma

STATE TICKET IS
STILL IN DOUBT
Democrats are Believed to
Have Won by a Mar
row Margin.

Late election returns indicate that
the Democratic state ticket has been
elected by a small majority. Reports
from st. Louis and Kansas City, how
ever. are that the result may still be
regarded as doubtful.
In St. Louis the Republicans rolled
up a majority of about $4,000. The
Democrats went into the city about
20. 900 ahead. leaving them a scant
margin on the state as a whole. Kan
sas City voted Democratic.
University Missourian., 1910-11-09

Early last night it was reported from
St. Louis that that city would give the
amendment majority of about $4,000.
At 4 o'clock this morning, the ST.
Louis Republic over the long distance
telephone. said that instead of ma
jority for the amendment. there was
little doubt but what it suffered the
fate of all the other measures sub
mitted-:that it went down in the
avalanche of votes cast to keep the
vote from going dry.
A similar story came from Kansas

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Nov. S.-Four
states in the East which the country
at large was watching, elected Demo-
cratic governors yesterday. John A.
Dix's majority, despite the whirlwind
campaign of Colonel Roosevelt, was
sufficiently large to insure his elec-
ton. Even few hours after the re-
turns began to come in New York
flashed the word over the United
States that Dix had won. The vote,
in the state was close but the Dem
ocratic vote in New York City was
Unusually heavy.
Judson HarmOn's election also was
conceded early although the estimates
of his majority varied greatly. Har-
mon is the present incumbent. His
election, Democrats say, means that
he will be one of the formidable can.
didates for the nomination for the
Presidency in 1912. 49,
10000 Majority For Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson's majority in New
Jersey is estimated early this morn
| ing at 10000. DR.. Wilson recently re-
signed as president of Princeton Uni
versity to make he race for governor.
He is another man who, by virtue OF
his election as governor of New Jer-
sey will be formidable candidate for
the nomination for President on the
Democratic ticket.

cede the election Of Judge Baldwin.

about 10000 Judge Baldwin for
