scaffold Breaks Injuring
John Christman.

While working on the new
Cullavin garage this afternoon
a scaffold broke throwing four
men to the ground, a distance
of about ten feet, and injuring
John Christman quite severely.
The workmen were putting the
cement blocks on the front Of the
building above the steel Orders
when the scaffold broke with
out any warning and all were
thrown to the ground in a heap
but John Christman was the
most seriously injured as he
struck his head on the edge
of q cement block and cut q
cash about a inches long. He
was taken at once to DR.. Tam
isiea's office where the wound
was attended to and an exami-
nation made, but is thought the
wound on his head is the only
serious injury. The rest Of the
workmen were quite badly
scratched, Geo. Cullavin Sr.
having his. ankle turned while
doing a double turn on the way
down. He was started head
first but managed to grasp q
plank on the way down which
righted him but he struck q
cement block with such
force that the ligaments in his
ankle were strained. Another
workman struck on his
shoulder but beyond a bruise,
it is not thought any damage
! vas done. All of the men had
a lucky escape.

BLIND POOL" SAYS DIXON
Fatal Error Not to Fill Sher-
mans Place, He Declares.

Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon. chairman Of
the Progressive National Committee, de-
clared last night that the failure OF the
Republican National Committee to name
a candidate for Vice-President before
election would cost the Taft ticket thou
sands Of votes Senator Dixon took the
opportunity again TO predict that to-day
would bring a landslide for Roosevelt and
johnson.
The statement which Senator Dixon is
sued last night was as follows:
The expressed determination OF the Taft
organization TO name no candidate for
Vice President until after the election Is
over will cost the Taft ticket thousands
OF votes in every state tomorrow. Inc
people Of the nation are not going 10 sub
scribe to a blind pool in the matter or the
Presidential succession. Under these cir
Cumstances the Taft organization enters
the light tomorrow with only half a
ticket.
refuse TO have the Vicc-Presldeutial cam
d!dafe 10 succeed Sherman designated
before the day Of election. Thousands
who had until recently intended 10 vote the
Republican. ticket. under the Circum-
stances will refuse by their votes to-mor-
row in effect TO give Barnes and tho
other Republican national committeeman
a proxy 20 name such Vice President as
they personally see At after the election
ia over. II has been the worst strategy
possible and IS the final blow TO the stag
gering hopes OF the Taft organization
again repeat that the avalanche vote
tomorrow for Roosevelt and Johnson will
stagger the oldtime politicians. During
the day we have received literally hun
dreds OF kilograms from every part of the
country, all OF them predicting landslide
votes In their localities for Roosevelt to-
morrow.

MURDER TALE GR0UNDLESS
Kings Grand Jury Reports on
Abraham & Straus Mystery.

The so-caIled Abraham & Straus mys-
terry" was definitely set at rest yesterday,
when the Kings County Grand Jury
cett in the County Court, Brooklyn. In
which II reported that no one has been
found who knows anything whatever
about the charges. No proof has been
given and no statement made which
shows that there is any truth whatever
I'm tho charges investigated.
ION the contrary, our entire investiga-
ton into this matter has shown that there
is no truth whatever in the charges. and
that the rumors and reports thereof are
absolutely groundless."
For the last two months a wild tale
has spread by word OF mouth that a
young girl had been murdered In the
store Of Abraham & Straus, on Fulton
street, Brooklyn. The canard reached
every newspaper in greater New York,
and although thoroughly Investigated and
found to be without foundation, still per-
sisted in spreading. Then the depart
ment store asked that the malicious
rumors be thoroughly investigated.
In discharging the grand jury, Judge
Faweett said: ut is little short OF a
crime that such dastardly rumors have
been spread concerning one OF the fore
the newspapers will give a full and fair
display to what the grand jury says OF
its investigation"

Progressive leaders appeared worried
yesterday by a report that policemen

his interview with the Police Commits

Mr. Waldo very promptly told us that
the order TO the police was not as mar
row as this and was intended to mean
that the police should be on duty at ell
polling places for the purpose Of perform
ing full police duty on Election Day, and
that anybody-inspector. watcher or pri-
vate citizen-had the right to summon a
policeman for the purpose Of performing
such full duty, and that the police would,
Of course, promptly respond TO such q

william +. McCombs, chairman OF the
Democratic National Committee. issued
final statement last night IN which he pre-
dlcted the election of Woodrow wilson ny
the greatest majority eyer given to any
President since James Monroe. He said
The argument is exhausted We appeal
with absolute confidence TO the pallot, i nc

The people will see that 1t wins IN over

The campaign has been clean. NOT q

The Campaign has been clean. NO issue
has been evaded. No question remains
unanswered, The Democratic nominee has
met the people face to face Win open
mind and frank expression. The people
and the nominee have learned to know
each other and TO trust each other.
. Above all things, the campaign has been
educative. Woodrow Wilson as he Is
would be the surest argument to induce
his popular support.
And In this wonderful campaign Wood
row Wilson has borne himself with such
gentleness, with such courtesy, with sucn
serenity of mind and temper, and Ylthal
with such perfect fairness and convincing
earnestness in high discussion; that ne mas

HOUSE STILL DEADL0CKED
Utter's Death Does Not Mean
Election of President.

Providence, Nov. 4-Governor Pothier
will not announce until after tomorrow
his decision regarding the calling OF a
special election to fill the vacancy In
Rhode Islands present Congress delega-
ton caused by the death yesterday OF
Representative George H. Utter.
New ballots with the name of Lieuten-
ant Governor Zenas w. Bliss, the Repub-
lican candidate. in place OF that of Mr..
Utter, who was seeking reelection, were
distributed to-day.
Washington, Nov. AT the time of Mr..
Utter's death the House was equally d.
vided. Representation of twenty-five
states was Democratic and twenty-five
Republican, and the delegation Of four re-
naming states was equally divided be-
tween Republicans and Democrats.
Rhode Island was one OF the states in
which the delegation was equally divided,
and Mr.. Utter's death, should his place
not be taken by a Republican TO fill out
the rest of his term, would throw Rhode
Island to the Democratic column. This,
however, would not permit an election OF
a President by the House, because the
constitution requires a majority Of the
states, which would be twenty-five. Mr..
Utter's death, however. does break the
equal division between Republicans and
Democrats.
