In cities all over the country. cleo
trio irons are being used by the thouR-
ands. Richmonders are just gradually
awakening to the great benefits to
be derived from using these iron. The
electric iron has turned the day from
one to be, dreaded. to source of
qualification and pleasure. Your iron
is always exactly the right tempera-
ment and you simply have to watch
this: Turn off the electricity when
your iron is hot enough and beyond
this you have no care. Your iron

DARING RACER is VICTOR
Dawson Takes Turns at Reckless
Speed, Defeating MuIford.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov Joe Dawson's
Marmon car was just three and one
fifth seconds ahead of Ralph Milford s
LoZier at the finish of the 200-mile
race here.
The duel between these two began
Immediately after the Tooth mile.
Dawson was then far behind on ac.
count of stop to change tires. The
Lozier stopped soon afterward to
make a change of tires, putting the
cars on even terms. Thereafter luck
kept out of the game and a new ele-
ment, Mulford's daring, replaced it.
Mulford played the turns desper-
ately for the next few rounds of the
course and they went into the last
two-mile lap with but a few inches
separating their cars. AS they struck
the dangerous turn for the last time
1t was Dawson who took it at highest
speed, shooting into q lead which he
held to the finish. Time--2 hours 81
minutes 1913 seconds. The winner
took the Atlanta trophy and 81 900 in
cash. There were eleven starters.

ROASTS NEWPORT SOCIETY
Speech by Speaker of Rhode island
Legislature.

Newport, r. l., Nov. 7-Soeiety is
indignant at Roswell B. Burchard,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives of Rhode Island, for his remarks
in a political speech at Warwick. Mr..
Burchard is the son of the minister
whose memorable words, Rum, Ro-
manism and Rebellion" defeated
James G. Blaine for the presidency on
the eve of the election. In his speech
he said.
when | go up into the country /

with his little family. When l go to
my own little town / find the same
peaceful, happy condition of the fam
lily in the home. But when | go down

CR|PPEN MUST DIE
ON THE CALLOWS
Court Of Appeals Refuses to
Grant New Trial.

London, Nov. 7.-Dr. H. H. Crippen,
the American dentist who murdered
his wife, Belle Elmore, the music hall
singer, must die on the gallows.
The court of criminal appeal, con-
sisting of Justices Darling, Charnel.
and Pickford, after hearing the argu-
ments of Crippens attorneys and the
crown representatives, decided that
there was no ground for new trial,
Crippen heard his fate calmly,
though his ruddy face was white as
chalk and his twitching lips showed
the suppressed emotion he was un-
dergoing.
1t is altogether probable that Grip
pen will be executed Tuesday unless
the home secretary interferes, which
is considered most unlikely.
When it was announced that no
new trial would be granted Crippen
stood upright and uttered no sound,
but the expression of abject despair
on his face as he was escorted from
the courtroom showed that he had re.
signed himself to his fate.
Under a strong guard Crippen was
placed in a prison van and driven at
once back to Jail During the ride he
sat with his head between his hands
uttering not sound.

ARMOUR PROFITS
BY WHEAT SLUMP
Bears Make Killing by De-
cline in Price.
ARE NOW BUYING HEAVILY

Packer and His Associates Said to
Have Been Short at Least Ten Mil
lion Bushels, Which They Are Able
to Purchase at Present at Drop Of
From Fifteen to Twenty Cents.
James A. Patten Also on Bear Side.
Chicago, Nov. THE sharp decline
In wheat prices the last few weeks
has resulted in a big killing" on the
part of the leading bears.
1t is the general belief on the board
of trade that A. j. Lichstern and the
Armour interests have made millions
ON the short side of the market They
have been the big shorts and the de-
cline in prices of Is to 20 cents a
bushel on big lines gives them paper
profits of immense proportions.
While the extent of their lines is
not known it is the opinion of well
posted traders on the floor that Lich-
stern and Armour were short at least
100000 bushels of wheat This esti-
mate is regarded generally as conser-
vative.
A 15-cent decline on this amount Of
wheat represents paper profit of
about 81 100000. Recent operations in
the pit indicate that these paper prof
its are being changed into cold cash.
For the last three days the Armour
Grain company has been a big buyer
of wheat both December and May.
Buying on Large Scale.
Wednesday its representatives start
ed in buying on a big scale when the
December sold below 80 cents for the
first time. The following day their
purchases were placed at about 1,000,-
600 bushels by pit traders and Satur-
day they were supposed to have
bought i'm about 100000 bushels
more
Commission houses supposed to be
acting for Lichstern were credited
with buying several million bushels
also. The speculative market has
been so weak the last few days that
the big shorts were enabled to cover
millions of bushels without causing
any big rally in prices. The longs
have been forced to unload at steadily
depreciating values, giving the shorts
the opportunity to realize their profits.
James A. Patten, while he has not
been operating heavily i'm the grain
markets recently, has been bear on
wheat. Other local professionals who
are credited with making big killings
are John Barrett, Arthur Cutten and
several of the big traders operating
through the Bartlett Frazier house

CLAIM CONTROL
0 NEXT HOUSE
Both Democrats and Repnb=
IiCanS Confident.
FORMER NAME MAJORITY

Expect to Have Fifty-one More Mem
bers Than the c. o. p. and Say That
Number May Be Exceeded-Chair-
man Mckinley Confident That the
Republicans will Have a Working
Majority.
Chicago, Nov Statements re-
garding the control of the next house
OF representatives were given out by
the Democratic congressional com
mittee and Chairman w. B. Mckinley
of the Republican congressional com
mittee.
The Democratic committee believes
it's party will have majority of fifty
one in the SiXty-seeond congress,
while Mr.. Mckinley says he is conf
dent they will retain control by a fair
working majority. The Democratic
committees statement follows:
"We believe, after careful and con-
servative estimate of the political sit
uation, that we will have majority
of fifty-one in the next house. We ar
rive at this conclusion by giving to
each party the districts which we
think they are reasonably certain to
carry and dividing the doubtful dis
tricts equally between them.
"While our gains will be most pro-
nounced in the East they will not be
confined to any special part of the
country, as we have every reason to
believe that we will make gains in
every state which now has Repub-
lican representation, with the possible
exception of four, and we do not ex-
pect to lose more than two districts
that are now represented by Demo
Gratis.
Say Victory Is Assured.
1--WE congratulate ourselves that
the revolt against the Payne-Aldrich
bill and the Republican mismanage-
ment of government has grown each
day since the campaign began until
now it has become SO evident that a
racy is absolutely assured"
Chairman Mckinley, in his state
ment, says:
From the best reports obtainable
from candidates on the Republican
ticket and others interested in Re-
publican politics | am confident the
Republican party will control the Six
ty-second congress by fair working
majority. The size of this majority,
In fact the outcome of this election,
will be determined by the. percentage
of the Republican voters of the coun-
try who come to the polls on Nov s.
THAT the voters have taken but a
slight interest in the pending political
campaign is evidenced by the small
vote cast at the primaries for the can.
didates on the several tickets.
This, it would seem, forecasts an
extraordinarily light vote at the polls
especially in the rural districts, where
the farmers are enjoying an unusual
degree of prosperity"

that Theodore Roosevelt, by bitterly
denouncing the supreme court, has
done much to injure his prestige in
