Nashville, August 4.-One of the largest
 votes ever recorded in Tennessee was
 east today In the election of supreme
 court and court of civil appeals. Judges
 of inferior courts, attorney generals and
 county officers were also chosen and in Addition congressional primaries in four districts and a number of legislative pri-
 maries were held. The campaign has
 been one of the bitterest in the history of
 Tennessee and the interest throughout the state in the result is intense. In many
 places the vote will break all records and As heavy everywhere except in some por-
 tions of west Tennessee.
 1ntrest has centered about the supreme court race, in which there were two tick.
 cts representing the regular democratic organization and the so-called independ- sents. The latter has received the indorse- ment of the republican organization, but
 an element of that party, including a large part of the negro vote, split from the leaders and went for the democratic ticket. Governor Patterson took the stump for the regular ticket and made a campaign remarkable for the number of speeches delivered in given period and the large size of the crowds addressed. He yclosed here last night bfore the largest political gathering eyer seen in Nash | ville.
 The weather over the state today was clear and hot for the most part and no rain fell at any point. While the feel | Ing was tense at all places, there has heen comparatively little trouble and none of a serious nature. In this city a clash occurred in the Twenty-fifth ward between City Attorney A. G. Ewing, Jr, | and J. w. Weaver, an officer of cleo tion. They came to blows over the right of certain negro to vote, but were sep nrated before either was hurt Both ksvere arrested. At Morristown a mer- Yrhant was arrested, charged with vio- lating the election laws, and Sheriff Car riger of that (Hamblen) county was charged with depositing money with the trustee with an order to issue poll tax .tecepts to a number of applicants.
 At Smyrna. in Rutherford county, row at the polls between Robert Morton hnd two Taylors. father and son, re- suited in all three receiving knife wounds but none Is thought to be seriously hurt The fight, 1t is said, involved others, but ho one else was injured.
 The ballot is perhaps the longest and most complicated ever used in the state and 1t is certain that many of them will be thrown out because of irregularities The count will necessarily be slow and returns will be late coming in.
 This (Davidson) county has cast the biggest vote in its history and it seems pertain that the regular judicial ticket has carried. For county offices the fights for criminal judge and attorney general have been exceedingly bitter. The regulars are claiming the election of William Hart for judge. and A. B.
 Anderson for attorney general over Jeff McCarn and Edward McNeilly. inde- pendents

PRESIDENT OF
 YORK HEALTH
 BOARD TO ODER
Assures President of Bridge port Health Board that Garbage Reduction in York Is Satisfactory to People.

pr. G. E. Ober. President of the Board of Health, has received a letter from J. H. Bennett, president of the Board of Health, York, Pa, in which the latter refers to the article re- gently printed in the Standard, rela- tive to the Fischer Plant in York.
 MT. Bennett says that this article reflects upon the York Board of Health and continues by saying that the Fischer plant is the best ever had in that city. He also says that there are number of plants in the neighborhoOd, of an obnoxious char acter, which create the odors some times attributed to the garbage plant. Property owners in York, continues MT. Bennett formerly addressed a pc tition to the State Department of Health of Pennsylvania, which inspect ed the garbage plant and pronounced it well kept and operated in all re- spects.
 MT. Bennett closes by saying that his letter is written purely that Dr. Ober may know that all representa- tions made to Dr. Ober by MT. Ben nett relative to the Fischer plant, were correct. The writer says that he is not interested in the Fischer plant in any way, but in the work of his department solely, as he presumes that pr. Ober is in Bridgeport.

Especial from United Press, ,

tOpeCidl rom OQltGQ Press.
 Cambridge. Mass. Nov. 29.-while over and over again the last words of Clarence F. Glover. the Waltham laundry owner, Hattie Le Blanc shot me-" rang through the old court room in East Cambridge. today, the a7-year- old girl, who, under a whole year of suspicion has kept silence regarding the murder for which she is on trial, sat quietly, the only sign that she understood the testimony being a quick drawing of her breath as her name was mentioned, repeatedly moistening her lips and almost con- stant gnawing at them. The young prisoner was a little paler than yes terday, while she sat in court. today, and did not regard the great crowd of morbid men and women, who flied every inch of the space and crowded the court house hallls, with the same curiosity she showed, yesterday. For the most part, during the testimony she sat with downcast eyes. Only a slight trembling was noticeable when witnesses thundered out And Glover said. Hattie Le Blanc shot me, l don't know why"
 in that Judge Bond decided to hear testimony as to whether Glover knew whether he was dying or not, before the court ruled on the defense's con- tention that Glover's implication of Hattie was not a dying statement in the legal sense. the testimony all tend ed to show that Glover realized his wounds were probably fatal. The nurse, Gertrude Shaw, stated that Glover even asked divine forgiveness.
 This afternoon the attorneys argued the point of the dying statement.

WATERBURY SPORTS TRYING
 TO BUY DURANT'S TEAM

Waterbury, Nov. 29-Recent develop ments have brought out the fact that next year the stock of the Waterbury Athletic Corporation. which controls the local franchise in the Connecticut League, may be in hands other than those now controlling 1t, if the pres ent stockholders can be induced to sell at a reasonable price. A well-known local promoter of clean sports has been promised good financial backing if he secures the franchise and if President Harold R. Durant and the other directors of the corporation do not place a prohibitive price on the stock. there is every indication now that the club will be run by other local people next season.
 In view of the long period of time elapsing since Waterbury had won a pennant, the many fans who followed Mike Finn's team on the road to Pennantville last season are anxious to see somebody pilot the team next year who will place the Brass Burg on the lists as a record breaker. No team in the Connecticut League has yet won two pennant in succession and Waterbury fans would be tickled if Waterbury should be the first to break the record
