UTTER3 DEATH BREAKS TIE.
Might Affect Choice of President by
 the House.

Washington, Nov 4-The death of Representative George H. Utter of Rhode Island apparently breaks the deadlock in which the house of repre- sentatives would find itself if it were called upon to elect a president.
 To .he time of Mr. Utter's death the house was equally divided. Represent ation of 9 states was democratic. 22 republican, and the delegations of four remaining states were equally divided between republicans and democrats.
 Rhode Island was one of the states in which the delegation was equally divided. and Utter's death, should his place not be filled by a republican to fill out the remainder of his term, would throw Rhode Island to the dem ocratic column.
 Throwing Rhode Island to the demo- cratic column, However, would not per init an election by the house because the constitution requires a majority of the states This would be 25. Mir Ut- ter's death, however, does break the equal division between republicans and democrats.

TROOPS WITHOUT FOOD.
constsntinople's Explanation Of ths
 Turkish Reverses.

Constantinople, Nov. 4-s 9. m- None of the powers has yet replied ts he pOrte's request for mediation. Ths belief is held here that King Ferdi- nand will not be sorry tO accept Euro- pean intervention. as it is considered that after their tremendous sacrifices the Bulgarian army must be near en- haustion.

It now becomes clear that the dcf- cient commissariat was largely re- sponsible for the Turkish reverses Ths Turkish plans aimed af encircllnR fhs Bulgarian forces by an advance on t1s right wing The Bulgarian general concentrated his efforts on an attack against the Turkish center at Seraf and the left wing along the raiinau. The Turkish right was meeting wifh much success. but the cOmmissariat broke down completely. owing partly to bad weather which made the roads difficult and prev ented operations ae ! the Turkish base, Midia.
 As a consequence. Mahm0nd Nu<- htar Pasha, commanding the right Waa compelled to sacrifice the advantaRa Ralned because ms troops were WIfn- out food.

 The difficulty in maintaining order l Is increasing daily. T. is said that c

SUPREME COURT MODIFIES
 INJUNCTION PROCEDURE
Places Restrictions on Issuance of
 Temporary Restraining Orders.

Washington, Nov. 4.-In promulgat- ing today the first revision of the equity rules of federal courts in the last 50 years the supreme court of the United States prohibited the granting of preliminary injunctions without notice and restricted the granting of temporary restraining orders. The court embodied in the new rule many of the points of the Clayton anti-in junction bill, for which labor leaders have been fighting, which has passed the house and waits in the senate.
 Instead of temporary restraining or ders being issued without notice upon presentation to a federal judge of gen. eral allegations that immediate and ir- reparable damage is about to be in flicted, the new rule requires that it must be shown by specific acts set forth in affidavits or otherwise that such damage will result. When a tenn pOrary restraining order is issued a hearing in injunction must be given within 10 days. Heretofore no time limit was fixed by the rules and often not by the courts.
 The court went still further and pro- vided that those restrained may come into court within two days and be heard with expedition on a motion to dissolve the restraining order.

Party Leaders Say They Control Enough State Leg
 isIatures to Give Them Majority
REPUBLICAN ACTIVITY IN DOUBTFUL STATES
Strong Efforts Made Keep State Legislatures Republican CoIumn-Women to Vote in Six States-Woman Suf- fage an Issue in Five Other States-Governor Hadey Favorite Candidate For Vice Presidential Nomination

New York. Nov. 4.-The most vigor ous fight of recent years came to an end tonight with the leading candi- dates for the national chief office con- tinuing their personal appeal to voters almost to the last moment. President Taft, speaking from his train in Ohio on his trip to Cincinnati; Colonel Roosevelt. addressing voters at Long Island points close to Oyster Bay, and Governor Wilson, addressing meetings at Passaic and Paterson, gave to the conclusion of the long campaign touch of personal activity that empha- sized the interest in tomorrow's bal loting.
 Democratic Effort to Capture Senate.
 More than the presidency is at stake in the elections tomorrow. The repub- lican forces have concentrated their efforts in doubtful states to prevent an overturning of local organizations or a capture of the legislatures in states heretofore republican.
 The democrats have made an organ iZed assault upon a number of states to control the legislatures so that the majority in the United States senate may be swung to the democratic col umn. Against republican predictions lhat the senate will remain republican the democratic national leaders today claimed enough states to give them the senate and to greatly swell their majority in the house of representa- tives. which they captured in 1910.
 Campaign on Since February.
 Few campaigns have run for a longer period The fight for the presi- dency was under way early in Febru- ary and has scarcely Jagged since that 1f bn af -l1p orc active candidates for presidential nom- nations early in the summer, three candidates. representing the three leading parties remain to solicit the votes and support tomorrow.
 Women to Vote in Six States.
 The influence of women in the cam paign probably will be greater than in any previous election. Each national headquarters has had an organized bureau to appeal to women workers, presided over by women well known in public and social life. Jn the six western states where women will vote Wyoming, Utah. Colorado. California, Idaho and Washington-their ballots will be an important factor in the re- suit. In five other states-Arizona, Michigan. Kansas, Oregon and Wis consin-tEe right of women to vote will be an issue at the polls.
 Fair Weather Predicted.
 Fair weather is predicted for the majority of the states. The uncertain ty caused by the third party ticket, the more than ordinarily urgent appeal of party managers to all voters to "go to the polls.' and the local interest caused by fights for state offices and control of state machinery indicate a record vote in almost all sections of the country and a popular presidential vote of huge proportions

Lawrence Striker Testifies at Trial
 of Ettor and Associates.

Salem, Mass, Nov. 4.-That militia men and policemen made no effort to prevent the attacks upon street cars in Lawrence on the morning of Jan uary 20, and that the cars were be- sieged by an organized gang of about twenty men was the testimony today of Leo Ready, one of the strikers, at the trial of Ettor Giovannitti and Caruso for the murder of Anna Lopiz 20. Ready declared that he was near the scene of the riot that morning and that the strikers were peaceful.
 T saw this gang of twenty men go up and down the streets said Ready. They were armed with clubs with which they smashed the windows of the cars. Some of them threw chunks of ice. The policemen on the street made no attempt to stop them Nei- ther did the soldiers"
 Did you see the police when the windows were being smashed?' asked Attorney George Roewer, Jr.
 Yes, several times" said Ready. T saw one of this gang come up toward the curb and stoop to pick up a chunk of ice. One of his pals said to him, There's a cop and he said TO hell with the cop and let the chunk of ice drive at the car window. The police man made no effort to arrest him."
 Several Lawrence women and chil- dren workers testified that police and miitiamen clubbed the strikers. One told of the stabbing of IA year old boy by a soldier.

The Army in Too Crippled Condition to EnabIs
 It to Make Prolonged Stand at TChataIia
COMPLICATIONS ARE NEAR CONSTANTNOPLE
Bulgarians Are Advancing Toward lt-No Replies From Powers to Portes Appeal For Mediation Government Seizing Food For Army Consantnople and Fears of Famine Prices Are Already Entertained by People

London. Nov. l.-The prospect that considerable portion of the defeated Turkish army will be able to reform behind the lines of Tchatalja, the last Notifications before ConstantinOple, is not altogether excluded but whether the Turks will be able to maintain there any serious resistance to the Bulgarian advance is a question which permits of doubt.
 Turks Lose Half Their Artillery.
 In the struggle with the allies the Turks lost more than half their artil- lery. In fact, the Servians alone claim to have captured no less than 300 guns This will certainly initiate against any prolonged stand at Tcha- talja. The Turkish government main- tains that, although embarrassing, the position of affairs is not desperate, and declares that when the allies had com pleted their mobilization Turkey had barely begun hers. The note to the powers insists that Turkey is still able to maintain prolonged warfare.
 Powers Move Slowly.
 Up to the present hour there is no sign that anything has come of the porte's appeal to the powers for
 
 ceived at Constantinople and there is little doubt that when they are re- ceived they will embody a declination to consider the idea of proposing an armistice. Apparently Bulgaria is in no mood to negotiate peace at the present time.
 A Rear Guard Action.
 Although fighting is still proceeding on the TchOrlu Serai line and cOrre- spondents are sending reports of Bull garian and Turkish success in that neighborhood, according to which side they draw inspiration from, the off, cial announcement from COnstantino- pie that the Turks are withdrawing to Tchatalja line of forts is not to be doubted. ard t is evident that the fighting is ! rear guard action to cOv- CT the movement of the Turks to Con- stantinopie.
 Famine Prices of Food Likely.
 Comparative order is still. being maintained in COnstantinople and Sa- loniki, but apparently the nervousness felt in Europe over possible outbreaks and disorders is equally shared by the authorities in Turkey. In Constanti- nople already the government is seiz- ing great supplies for the army, and the likelihood of famine prices for food will add to the governments difficult ties. The anxiety has been partly re- lieved by the arrival of European war ships. Others are on the way and are
