ChaIOner,s Advice.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 27.-To avoid
Icing run down by reckless automo-
bilists, perfect yourself in the "toreador
sidestep, and carry steel-tipped cane.
This is the advice given by John
Armstrong Chaloner, author OF who's
loony now," and owner Of the pig
,Dolgorouki, following what he declares
to have been hairbredth escape from
death shortly after the witching hour
OF midnight this morning.
The toreador sidestep, Chaloner ex,
plains, is the leap employed by bull
fighters to escape the maddened
'torro." The steel-tipped cane takes
the place OF a toreador's sword. 1t
comes in handy, Chaloner says, if one
desires to give the chauffeur thrash
ing;
when the auto bore down on me
last night" said Chaloner, I jumped
aside just like a bull fighter and held
my cane poised ready to strike. The
chauffeur saw that / was not intimi-
dated, aRd he pulled desperately to one
side, leaving me in possession Of the
middle of the road.
Had it not been for my sidestep and
my cane, am sure | would have been
killed. F."

London NEWSPAPER Fined.

London, Oct 27.-For publishing
the story of an alleged plan for the
escape Of DR.. II. II. Crippen, Will,
aboard the steamer Montress, the Lon.
don Evening News was today fined
81, 900 by the high court. The court
held that the publication of the story
during the trial Of Crippen was pre-
judicial to the defendant, who was
found guilty o. the murder of his wife
and sentenced to death.
The Evening News's story was to
the effect that Crippen had entered in
to a deal with the ships quartermaster
whereby the latter was to smuggle
Crippen ashore, hid in a piece of
the cargo, after the alarm that the
doctor had committed suicide by jump
ing overheard.

THAT THE grandfather clause con
stitutional amendment is valid was de-
cided by the Oklahoma State Supreme
Court yesterday. The court held also
the the special procedure under which
the amendment was adopted is valid,
all votes not cast against the PROPOSE
ton being counted for it. The grand
father clause" provides that no man
whose grandfather could not vote can
exercise the right Of franchise. 1t will
thus disiranchse many negroes, whose
gyandfathers were slaves. This move
ment. which was first inaugurated III
southern states, is gradually spreading
in other sections OF the country. The
United States Congress at the close of
the civil war made negroes who had
lust emerged from cotton and corn
fields voters. 1t was later seen that the
movement was premature and that the
newly.made suffragans were not lntelh-
gent voters. As time goes on 1t Is be-
coming more and more apparent that
ignorance and suffrage are incompat'-

The Approaching Election.

New York, Oct. 27.-'1 believe we
have Tammany and Wall Street on the
run, and that Harry Stimson's election
is now certain. But il we lose this time
we will keep on fighting against this
unholy alliance OF dishonesty business
and dirty politics. "-lTheodors Roose-
welt.
John A. Dix will be elected without
a question and the democrats will prob
ably control the legislature, thus ensur-
ing a democratic United States senator
in succession to Chauncey NJ. Depew.
There will also be substantial gains in
the states congressional representa-
ton. ~ Winfield A. llu2puch, chair
man of the democratic state committee.
L have no figures to give out. but
am certain New York state will remain
republican. - Ezra P. Prentice, chair
man Of the republican state committee.
With the election only twelve days
away, and the fight at its bitterest, the
men responsible for the campaign OF
both parties in the Empire State today
emphasized their belief that their party
will win the verdict OF the people.
The democrats are making their big
play on the high cost OF living and have
pressed into service moving picture
houses where are displayed a dozen
times a day pictures comparing the
prices OF food and clothing today and
ten years ago. With the pictures OF the
commodities are displayed, epigrams
of which the following are samples:
Mr.. Roosevelt breaches against race
suicide, and yet the tariff law he ad-
vocates keeps the market basket emp
ty."
In the betting Dix is still 2 to /
iavorite with a number OF even money
bets being made by republicans that he
will not have 100000 plurality in the
state. The betting, however, has been
very light, and admittedly does not re-
fleet the opinion OF the experienced
politicians who say that it will be impos-
sible to get line on the real situation
until the middle OF next week.
indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 27.-Conhict-
ing claims on the result in Indiana
were made today by Stokes Jackson,
chairman of the democratic state COM
mittee and Edwin Lee, chairman OF the
republican organization. Both insist
that the result of their canvass OF the
state which ended today show that
their fayorite candidates are to win.

As STATED in the Gazette's Washing
ion correspondence Yesterday President
Taft has decided to appoint William
n Lewis. a negro, Of Boston, to be as
sistapt attorney general, and Charles A.
CotterilI, a negro Of Toledo, o., to be
COLLECTOR OF customs at Honolulu.
Lewis is now assistant district attorney
at Boston. The position to be gwen
Lewis is said to be the highest ever
rendered negro and in the Depart
ment Of Justice he will act as the SUI
nerior of scores OF white officials, clerks
and employees. The salary IS So,OOO

ed by Mr. Taft are: j. G. Napier, oil
Tennessee. register Of the treasury;
Whitfield McKinlay, collector OF Gus
toms. at Georgetown, d. c., anc Henry
b Johnson, register OF deeds for the
District of Columbia. President Taft
and Attorney General Wlckersham are
said to have agreed upon the appoint
ment of Lewis for pursuance OF a policy
that is being worked out OF as broad
recognition of the colored race in fed
eral appointments as possible As as
sistant attorney general it will be nee
essary to assign him to some OF the
most important legal work OF the gov
eminent, and he will come in frequent
contact with senators, representatives
and Others having business with the de-
partment. This action OF President
Taft goes further in recognition OF the
negro race than any president III his
tory. 1t is understood that the presi-
dent intends to do still more for Lthe
race. This, of course, is to secure the
negro vote in the several states in which
they hold the balance OF power

land of the Caesars has been the scene Of
similar commissions in the sc2pe Of
volcanoes. cloudbursts, hurrican :. etc.
The beautiful coasts OF the 39y OF
Naples and the Gulf Of Salerno I'd the
islands OF Ischia and Pocida have been
devastated by a peculiar combination
OF the elements. The exact number OF
victims has not been learned, but lou
or more persisted. The monetary loss
is great. The disaster appears to nave
come in the form Of a cyclone having
three centers, the first over the island oil
Ischia, the second over the town OF
Tore Del Greco on the east OF the Bay
of Naples. and the third sweeping the
Gulf OF Solerno. Accompanying cy-
clone we're a cloudburst, a tidal wave
and violent eruptions from Mount
Vesuvius and from crater suddenly
opened on the summit Of the long-ex-
tinct Mount Epomeo, on the island OF
Ischia. In addition TO the effects oil
