White men risked their lives to save
injured negroes from the rapidly

OF the IA bodies recovered, nine were
negroes and five white. The majority
of the injured are white. Practically

AN ALIBI FOR CARUSO

Salem, Mass, Nov. 11.-A0n effort to
establish an alibi for Joseph Caruso,
co-defendant with Joseph j. Etor and
Arturo Giovannitti, on trial here for
the murder of Anna Lopizzo in the
Lawrence textile strike last winter, was
begun here by his attorneys today.
Antonio De Bartelo, Caruso's land
lord, called as a witness for the defense

WEAR YOUR HAIR DOWN
AND BE IN NEW STYLE

London, Nov. 12.-Wear your hair
down during the day if you wish to be
up to date, young and healthy.
This is the advice of a well known
hostess residing in Scotland. who in
duced all the ladies of her house party
to follow her example and leave their
hair about their shoulders-at least, all
those who had enough to do So, for in
these days of artificial hair some wom-
en- We're afraid of the idea.
One of the house party told today
how she personally became acquainted
with the new fashion.
Il was met by the hostess on my ar
rival" she said, who was wearing her
hair down. She is not a young woman,
but she was enthusiastic about the
idea.
Certainly the freedom of unre-
strained tresses caused a certain gay
ETY. in the party.
Two engagements We're the result
of the return to natures hairdressing."

ted States senator over Governor
Stubs, republican.
The fight for governor between Ar
thur Capper, republican, n George H.
Hodges, democrat, had narrowed down
to a few hundred votes.
Ninty-six counties out Of 105 give
these pluralities: Wilson, $4,000;
Thompson, 10000; Capper, 500.
1t Is estimated that the remaining
counties will give Wilson a total plur-
atty of $4,000 and Thompson, 12, 900.
In the min missing counties, some
of which are democratic, it is predicted
by the democratic state chairman that
Hodges will easily overcome Cappers

touch of cold weather. according to
men closely connected with the coal
mining industry, who summarized the
situation here today.
1t was also argued that because OF

only their immediate territory.

MINNESOTA SWINGS
FROM WILSON COLUMN

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 11-Late returns
today swung Minnesota from Wilson
to Roosevelt and the colonel probably
will carry the state by about 5000.
Roosevelt found his greatest strength
IN the rural districts.
The vote complete from 1880 pre-
cincts of the 1868 precincts including
those in Hennepin and Ramsey coun-
ties. shows Roosevelt received, / 1885;
Wilson, SALLY; Taft, 50,7S9. Roosevelt
in the anvas of votes is gaining an
average Of seven and one-half votes on
Wilson in the county and should his
ratio continue his plurality would ma
terially exceed claims already set UP
by his. followers.
Governor Eberhart was reelected by
a plurality of $1,000. The election of
the entire republican state ticket is
practically assured.
Senator Knute Nelson led all the re-
publican state candidates.
Returns from about two-thirds of the
precincts Indicate that MS plurality
over Dan w. Lawler will be about 80
600. Ringdahl led the democratic ticket.
1t is no probable Taft's vote will
greatly exceed $4,000.
Collins, progressive nominee for gov
ernor, probably has polled less than
10000 votes.

ELECTORAL VOTE OF
452 GOES TO WILSON
Great Popular Vote Given to
New Jersey Governor -
Democratic Landslide.

New York, Nov. 11.-Although final
returns have not been received in all
OF the states it now appears that
woodrow Wilson, democrat, will have
the largest electoral vote aver given a
candidate. Wilson'S plurality is not so
great as early returns indicated. OF
the $1,000, 900 votes polled he has re-
ceived approximately 5000, 900. Roose-
welt received a little " 5000, 900 votes
and Taft less than 1000, 10000.
Taft carried three states, Idaho, Utah
n Vermont with a total of IL cleo
toral votes.
Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Minnesota, Washington and
South Dakota and has. a slight lead
over Wilson in California. The other
80 states went to Wilson.
The split in the republican party was
fatal all along the line and republican
majorities were overturned in states
that never before were out of the re-
publican column. The democrats made
great gains in the various states, cap
turing legislatures and congressman.
The Wilson administration will have a
congress in sympathy with it as the
democrats are assured Of a big major
1ty in the house and will control the
senate by a margin Of from one to four
votes. The complexion of the new leg
islatures in several states is not yet
known.
The big surprises Of the election were
afforded by Iowa, which gave Wilson
q plurality of about $4,000; Kansas,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana
all of which returned democratic plur-
alfties. Nebraska gave Wilson about
10000 plurality. In Kansas the demo-
Gratis swept everything, defeating
Stubs for the United States Senate,
and electing the full democratic state
ticket. The republican state ticket
pulled through in Iowa by small plur-
alties. Byrne was elected governor of
South Dakota in a hard fought con-
test with Johnson. George w. Norris
has been elected senator from Nebras-
ka, receiving a large majority over
Sh~allenberger, democrat.
Fails of Majority.
A by-phase of the general election
that became known today was the
success of woman's suffrage in four
of the five states where constitutional
amendments were submitted to the
people. The victory of the women was
complete in Kansas. Arizona and prob
ably Michigan; late returns from Ore
gon indicated they had succeeded there
also. while from Wisconsin came re-
turns showing the decisive defeat of
h equal suffrage proposal.
