which she made yesterday when the
cross examination of the defendant
was resumed in Judge Aliens court

fact yesterday.
The letter declared that if the elder
Mrs. Patterson would not pay her
sons hospital bills she could send
him to Dunning, an institution main
tanned by Cook county, in which the
city OF Chicago is situate, and to
which among other patients, impover-
ished consumptives are consigned by
court order.
Yesterday, when asked If she had
written such a letter, the prisoner an
swered with a denial. When the let
ter was shown her today she reversed

not write it. did you. not?" asked Pro

HE WAS PUT TO SLEEP BY
A HYPNoTIsT.

AS a demonstration of the wonder
full power of hypnotism man was
placed under 'the influence" this aft
ternoon at O'Clock, in a wooden box
and buried alive at the corner of
Main and Sixth street, He will be
awakened from this mysterious sleep
Monday night at the opening per
formance of the Randolph company
of hypnotists at the Duncan opera
house. The grave is four feet deep
and the casket is of wood. Pipes
were placed at the head and foot
through which air may circulate.
The time elapsing between putting
the man to sleep and awakening him
Monday night at the opera house is
so hours.
Though wonderful this may seem,
similar demonstrations of psychic
power even more mysterious will be
performed during the appearance of
this company at the theater in Las
Vegas. This same attraction appear
ed in Las Vegas two years ago and
pleased great numbers of people who
went to witness the performances.
This year, added to the attractions of
the former performances, will be
spirit seances. Real spirits such as
one is apt to meet any night prowl-
ing around graveyard, will appear
at the Duncan Monday evening and
the night following, and it is said that
the performance excels anything pre-
sented by any travelling company. :. /.

The Socialists likewise elected Lunn, their candidate for mayor of Schnectady, and are in complete control of affairs in that city. They also boiled large vote in Auburn, where Thomas Mott Osborne, the head of the Democratic League, was defeated for mayor by Thomas H.

Cox Machine Gets
 Body Blow In
 Tait'S Own Town
Candidate Endorsed by the Presi. dent Badly Whipped
 at Polls
Special from United Press.)

Cincinnati, Nov. 8-Democratie leaders, exulting, today, in the cleo tion of County Prosecutor Henry T Hunt, as mayor of Cincinnati, declar- ed the plurality of 4,0OO accorded Hunt was a direct repudiation by the voters of the Cox machine and, incidentally a severe slap at President Taft, who had publicly endorsed Louis Schwab the Cox machine candidate. The election of Hunt, arch-enemy of the machine domination of George B. Cox, Garry Hermann and Rude Hyencka, was regarded as the se- verest blow the Cox organization ever sustained. It was Hunt who forced Coxs indictment on perjury charge and who compelled the judges o1 Hamilton County to resort to many technical expendiencies to keep from placing Cox on trial, according to the Hunt following Cox, therefore, was the bitter personal enemy of the youthful prosecutor and exerted his every effort to defeat him.
 It was President Taft, who, as Sec. Akron speech, in 1905, in which he declared:
 eff I were in Cincinnati, as I fear I shall not be because public duty calls me elsewhere, I should vote against the Republican municipal tic h6C duu lOC Iu0 IScpuUllCdn StdLS IlC~ ket." I
 |. Taft's entire speech was critical arraignment of the Cox machine.
 The Cox ticket that year was over whelmingly defeated by the organi- zation, while Henry T. Hunt, the Democratic prosecuting attorney, was his opponent The campaign was Hunt, a wealthy young society man, whose fighting qualities have made him statewide political figure, car ried the war into the enemy's strong holds.
 Former Mayor Julius Fleischmann, who has been spoken of as the lead CT to succeed George B. Cox in Ham Taft and the latter addressed an open letter to F1eischmann, in which he declared he considered conditions had sufficiently changed for him to urge voters to cast their ballots for the Republican ticket.
 President Taft's personality and popularity thereupon became a direct issue in the campaign that was wag- ed The Democrats assailed him bit terly for what they declared was "in- sincerity in repudiating his Akron speech. The Republicans, on the oth- CT hand, declared that changed condi- tions warranted Taft in entering the campaign.
 Y President Taft's defeat in his home city has been seized upon by the Democrats as an omen of victory in the Presidential campaign of next year, though Republicans declare it was due only to local conditions and will not affect the state in 1912.
 The potential Presidential boom of Governor Judson Harmon was given much impetus by the Hunt election, as Hunt is a keen follower of Ohio s Chief Executive.

Especial from United Press.a

Philadelphia, Nov. s-Unofficial figures, compiled early today, show that Rudolph Blankenburg has been elected mayor of Philadelphia by a plurality of 4.OO0 over George H. Earle, the organization candidate.
 The election is believed to have na- tional significance, in view of the fact that United States Senator Pen- rose assumed charge of the Earle campaign and threw the entire weight of his influence into the balance and was beaten
 The machine, believed by many to have been one of the strongest poli- tical organizations ever built up in American municipality, was beaten in its own strongholds by the Fusionist refOrmers
 A great demonstration greeted the news that Blankenburg had been elected.
 Thousands of citizens parade the streets all night and when it was con- ceded the reform party had won they gathered around the Union League and sang hymns, led by clergymen.
 Early today, when a report became current that an effort would be made to count Blankenburg out there was a demonstration against the city hall and great crowds surged about the building crying for the city officials to show themselves.
 The entire city Keystone-Democrat- ic ticket was elected.

His Progressive
 Policies Won Out
 For Governor Foss
Second Democratic Executive in 50 Years to Get Reelection
 in Fay State
Special from United Press,

Especial from United PreSS.) Boston, Nov. S.-A general trend vote of anti-machine Republicans gave Governor Eugene N. Foss a sec- ond term at the state house and de- feated Lieutenant Governor Frothing- ham, Republican candidate for that office, according to assertions made here today, by Democrats and many Republicans.
 In the reelection of Governor Foss, by a vote of 214,62S to 206,297, is seen, by political observers of both big parties. a telling blow. to the Re- publican machine, of which United States Senator Lodge is called the mentor. It was even limited here, to- day, in Republican circles, that the F,oss victory, although his plurality of 35,000 of 1910 was cut down this year to S,331, may mean the with drawal of United States Senator w. Murray Crane from that body at the expiration of his term, in 1913.
 Today's complete compilation of figures shows that the Democratic victory was won by the closest mar was elected Governor by one vote. It was also emphasized, today, that Governor Foss is the second Demo cratic state executive to be reelected since the Republican party came into power here 50 years ago. Twenty years ago, Governor Russell was re- turned to office.
 That the Republican leaders were vastly surprised at the defeat of Frothingham can be seen, today in mainder of the ticket was carried and despite the manner in which the Foss lead Of a year ago was cut down. It was agreed among Republicans that, if they hope to swing the state "back into line," in 1912, they will have to nrf tn hn In this connection, the name of Speaker Joseph Walker; who cam paigned before the primaries as progressive, has been prominently mentioned.
 Since Republican leaders warned from the stump that the return of Floss would mean defeat for Presi- dent Taft, making the fight almost wholly on the tariff issue and the support of Taft, much weight is giv- en to declarations of Democrats, to- day.
 to Republican President by Massa- chusetts, standpat Republican state. Many Republicans who voted for Frothingham, but would rather have seen a progressive like Joseph Walk CT or Norman White, representatives from Brookline, win at the primaries, said, today, that yesterday result means the downfall of senator Henry Cabot Lodge. The latter was notable for his absence during the campaign.
 It was Senator Crane who first started the prophecy that Foss vic tory would mean death to New Eng land industries. That the voters took little stock in the prophecy was shown in the pluralities given Foss in the big industrial centers.
 It was unofficially announced here, today, that where Governor Foss' ex- penses were something over $160A0. the Republican campaign expenses reached close to $100, 0,OOO.
