Editors in London Comment on
Roosevelt and Effect of
Republican Loss
PRAISE WILSON AND HARMON
ThundeTer Declares That Former
President May Learn Mod
GRAFTON from His Defeat
(Associated Press)

LONDON, Nov. 10.-The morning
newspapers print long editorials on
the election subject.
The Standard thinks it an exagger-
alton to describe the elections as a
crushing blow to Roosevelt or as an
overwhelming disaster to the Republl-
can party. Roosevelt, says the paper,
may pop up again, while the party un
der President Taft might pull itself
together for great effort in the presi
Dental election.
Roosevelt's fault, adds the Standard,
lay in the belief that the party or
ganization must be instantly remodeled
and that he was the only person to
carry out the task. In duel between
a man and the machine, it is not gener-
ally the man who survives.
The Daily Graphic says: "Insurg-
ency clearly has gripped the country.
The old party is perilously near the
melting pot, If not actually in it,"
The Chronicle sees in the result
revolt against protection.
The Daily News says: "Mr. Roose-
welt took on himself to reform Amer
lean politics without reference to any
other person or influence kind of
assumption from which the American
form of Democracy fights shy"
The Express says: Roosevelt
encOmpaSSed his own failure. lntoXl-
Gated by the passions of his own con-
victions and over-rating the influence
of his personal authority, he wrecked
his party by the indiscriminate vio-
lence of his campaign. The disaster
was magnifed by the follies of the
Payne tariff, for which President Taft
Is largely to blame"
The Times says: lizard as is the
blow for Roosevelt and Taft, we are
far from believing that either the ex-
President is down and out, or the
word failure must be written of Taft's
administration. Mr.. Roosevelt may
learn moderation from his defeat; in
any case he is too valuable an asset
to be dispensed with by his country
and too forceful a personality to per-
nit of such treatment. We cannot but
note with satisfaction the tide which
swept into office men like Wilson and
Harmon. Such men must prove gain
to the countrys public life"

FRANCE EXPECTS TARIFF
SOON WILL BE LOWERED
Figaro of Paris Says the Country
Feared RooseveIt'S Ambition

PARIS, Nov. 10.-The French press
continues today its comment on re-
suits of the American elections and
directs attention to the international
significance of the Democratic success
as presaging lower tariffs in the United
States and the consequent opening up
of bigger market for the products of
Europe.
The Figaro in the course of an ex-
tended review of the returns expresses
the opinion that the result was "a
crushing defeat for Mr.. Roosevelt"
to be explained in part by his abuse
of his popularity and partly because
of the country's apprehension that his
overpowering ambitions spelled a dan
ger to the democracy, paving way
to an autocracy, a one-man power and
perhaps a life presidency.
The Gaulois, royalist, thinks the
Catholic clergy influenced the check
on Mr.. Roosevelt because of the un-
pleasant incident with the Vatican,
when the colonel refused to accept cer-
tain terms as conditional to an au-
dience with the pope.

FOR NEGLECT OF FAMILY

John H. Kornarens, S201s West Third
street, who was out on parole from
six months sentence for failing to pro-
vide for his wife and baby, was ar
rested last night on charge of drunk
enness and wife abuse His wife, Mrs,
Anna Kornarens, made the complaint
against him, and will appear in the
police court this morning.
Behind KornarenS' arrest lies story
of wifely fidelity. The husband was
arrested February 25 on a charge of
battery and given a short jail SEN
tence. During the time he was in jail
his wife was his constant visitor, goins
to see him every day, and even at
times, it is stated at police headquar-
ters, going without her lunch at noon
in order that she might have more
time to spend with him in jail. When
he was released she purchased a com
plete new outfit for him and gave him
money to go out and secure work. In
stead he is alleged to have abused her.
He was arrested again August 81 for
failure to provide for his baby and
given a sentence of six months. On
promising to behave he was paroled by
Judge Williams.
Mrs. Kornarens has been supporting
the family of three for several months.
She is a talented woman, demonstrat-
ing pianos all day in Spring street
store.

SUFFRAGISTS GAIN LARGE
MAJORITY IN WASHINGTON
Vote for Amendment to Constitu-
ton Nearly Two to One

SEATTLE, Nov. 10.-The majority
for the woman suffrage amendment to
the state constitution, estimated on
the basis of returns already received,
will exceed $4,000. The vote was about
Q to for the amendment.
The plurality Of Congressman VIII
liam e. Humphrey in the First or
Seattle district is probably 1000, show
ing that he was voted for by most of
the insurgents of the district, although
he was formerly a close friend OF
Speaker Cannon.
The Democrats gained a few seats
in the legislature, but otherwise made
a poor showing. Wahsington appears
as the most steadfast Republican state
in the Union. But this is accounted
for by the upheaval in the September
primaries, which put the progressive
Republicans In control of the party.
The Socialist vote in the state is esti-
mated at $500.

FIVE LEGISLATIVE SEATS
IN MONTANA IN DISPUTE
Choice of Senator Rests on De-
Iayed Returns

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 10.-With a
United States senatorshIp as the prize
managers of both parties are sending
trusted agents to five counties in the
state where legislative returns are still
incomplete. On these counties, with
five disputed seats, depend the politi-
cal complexion of the Montana legis-
lature which will choose a successor to
United States Senator Carter.
Without the disputed seats the Dem
ocrats will have fifty votes on Joint
ballot and the Republicans forty
seven. The Democrats, therefore,
have to secure three of the disputed
votes in order to control, while the
Republicans will have to secure five
to get the fifty-two votes necessary to
elect a senator.
In case the Republicans get four
and the Democrats two of these seats,
the legislature will be a tie on Joint
ballot.

PHYSICIAN
SEEKS OWN LIFE.
Police Hunt Dr.. C. A. Carey,
Who, They Claim Attempt
ed Suicide Last Night
BUYS ETHER AND DISAPPEARS
Had Been Dragged from a Room
Where Drug-Soaked Tow
els Were Found
BUYS ETHER AND DISAPPEARS

A man giving his name as Dr. C. A.
Carey and registering from San Fran
cisco was apprehe ~ it is believed,
in the act of comnsSstng suicide in
his room at the Haddon Hall hotel,
1904 South Spring street, about 10
o'clock last evening.
Roomers in the house, noticing the
strong odor of ether coming from the
room occupied by Carey, hammered
and pounded on the door until Carey
who seemed in a stupid condition,
opened it, He explained that he had
been cleaning some clothes and had
spilled some of the drug on the floor.
With this explanation he was allowed
to leave the house, but hardly had he
departed when Patrolman McFadden,
who had been called in, discovered
towel saturated with ether under the
bedclothes on the bed. This, coupled
with the fact that Carey ten minutes
later purchased a second can of ether
from the Godfrey & Moore drug store
at First and Spring streets, has led
the police to believe that the man un-
doubtedly was attempting suicide and
a thorough search is being made
for him.
Carey is a we'll appearing man, ap-
parently we'll educated and seemingly
has plenty of money. 1t is believed
that he is a doctor, as he spoke in
technical language at the drug store
while buying the drug and used very
good English in his conversation with
the landlady at the Haddon Hall.
Carey appeared at the Haddon Hall
about 10 o'clock and asked for a room
for the night, volunteering the infor-
nation that he was on his way to
San Diego.
Shortly after he went to his room
a lodger passing along the hall no
ticed the odor of ether. He notified
the landlady and she, becoming fright
ened, called in Patrolman McFadden.
The trio went and raped on the door
of the room occupied by the man, but
received no response. They hammered
louder and louder and were about to
break in the door when a feeble re-
sponse came from Carey. He 'dnaily
opened the door.
On being questioned by the patrolman
Carey made the excuse mentioned and
put UP such a remarkable talk that he
was allowed to dress and leave the
house. On searching the room the
ether can of four-ounce size, from
which all the drug had been taken,
and towel saturated with ether were
found.
On leaving the Haddon Hall Carey
went directly to the drug store at
First and Spring streets and purchased
another can of ether, paying for 1t
with $40 gold piece. The clerk at
the drug store stated that the man
volunteered the information that he
wished the ether for antiseptic pur-
poses. The clerk could give no in
formation as to where Carey went
after purchasing the drug, but the
rooming houses In the vicinity were
secured last night by the police in
their efforts to locate him and prevent
him taking his life.
Carey is described as a man about
40 years old, six feet tall and Weighing
about 200 pounds. Exceedingly pol
ished in speech and dressed like a
gentleman of means, he did not at
tract suspicion from any of those who
came in contact with him.

TAFT GRANTS RESPITE
TO CONDEMNED SAILOR

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - John
Wynne, able seaman, waiting in his
cell in a Honolulu Jail for the call OF
the hangman, can thank an energetic
attorney in the department of justice
for a new lease of life.
President Taft, five minutes before
he took a train to start on his trip to
Panama yesterday, signed a respite Of
thirty days for the sailor. That will
postpone Wynne's execution until Jan
uary 8, and when the president re-
turns he will consider an application
for pardon now pending. Wynne was
convicted of the murder of an officer
on the oil ship Rosecrans in Honolulu
harbor in 1907.

RECLAMATION BUREAU TOPS
RECORD OF LAND WATERED

WASHINGTON, Nov 1o.-The larg-
est area ever watered in the Salt river
valley was watered by the reclamation
service during 1910, according to the
report of the engineers in charge of
the project, made public by the recla-
nation service here today.
Water was furnished through 490
miles of canals for 141,363 acres and
those lands which contained crops
were furnished with five acre feet of
water or enough to cover each acre
with five feet of water.
Although this was a year of unusual
drouth, the report says the water sup
ply was ample throughout the year.
A guarantee of sufficient water in the
times of drouth is furnished by the
reservoir created by the Roosevelt dam.

Evidently Mr.. Herrin believes that
government regulation has not been a
success in this country. He spoke Of
the permission recently granted by
the interstate commerce commission to
the Baltimore and Ohio road to raise
it's rates, and then said that this per-
mission would be valueless to the road
at all competitive points so long as
the Pennsylvania system keeps its
tariffs at their present level.

"I think IT. r. must have been
pretty badly hurt" he said, "for he
