DEATH OF UTTER
ENDSADEADLOCK

Washington, Nov. 4.-The death of
Representative Utter of Rhode Island
apparently breaks deadlock in which
the house would find itself if called
upon to elect a president. To the
time of Utter's death the house was
equally divided, with the representa-
tion of % two states democratic, and
% republican, and the four remaining
states equally divided between re-
publicans and democrats. Rhode Is
land was one of the states equally di-
vided, and Utter's death, should his
place not be filled by a republican to
fill out the remainder of the term,
would throw Rhode Island to the dem
ocratic column.
Throwing Rhode Island to the dem
ocratic column, however, would not
permit an election by the house be-
cause the constitution requires a ma
jority of states. This would be 25.
Utters death does not break the equal
division of republicans and democrats

RULE IS CHANGED
IN EQUITY CASES

Washington. New. 4.-Revolutionary
changes in procedure in equity cases
in the federal courts Of the United
States are effected in revised rules
promulgated today by the supreme
court Of the United States. The OBJ
ject is to reduce the cost of litigation
and eliminate delays
Chief Justice White explained the
rules. One was described as primar-
lily to remove all unnecessary steps
in modes OF pleading and to bring
parties quickly TO issue. Another was
described as a restriction in modes of
taking testimony. particularly in pat
ent and copyright cases. Another
provides for trial by court instead of
reference of suit TO a referee TO
take testimony and report back to the
court. Among the new rules OF pro,
ceedure is one not referred TO by
Justice White in his explanation from
the bench, which would prohibit the
issue of preliminary injunctions with.
out notice to the opposite party and
also restricting the issues of temper.

Samuel Gompers has this to say
about the new anti-injunction rule:
1T is a step in the right direction
and one of the things that labor has
long been fighting for"

threemasted schooner John Maxwell,

After unbelievable hardships for "a

waves.

BARNES AS THE LEADER
Statement Declares Republicans
Never Had Hope of Vic
tory at Polls.

New York, Nov. 4-The vote
cast for president at tomorrow's s
election in the United States
will exceed all previous records, if to-
days prediction are fulfilled. Reports
from all states indicate intense parti-
sanship as the election draws near; an
unusual activity on the part of cam
psign leaders to get out the vote, "
and developments in a three-cornered
presidential contest which indicates a
determination to bring every voter to
the polls.
Colonel Roosevelt, in a statement
today, made the direct charge that
New York republican leaders were
urging voters to support Wilson and
make the defeat of Roosevelt certain
The statement met with denial from
republican state leaders.
SOCIALIST STRENGTH PUZZLES.
From Wilson and from his New York
headquarters came further admoni
tions to democratic leaders to get the
voters to the polls, so the maximum
democratic vote will be cast. The eX
tent TO which the socialist party, with
pebs as a candidate, will cut into the
vote OF Taft, Roosevelt and Wilson has
become a matter of lively conjecture
to the committee headquarters of the
latter candidates. Progressive leaders
assert the socialists will poll a heavy
vote, drawing largely from the republi
CII, and democratic ranks

from his home at Oyster Bay, says,

lesser bosses who are Barnes hench-
man-Abe Gruber, for instance-recent-
ly have been publicly advising hear
ers to vote the democratic ticket This
is interesting as fresh proof of how
close and intimate the alliance is be-
tween the machines if they can only
beat the progressives. Gruber's atti-
tude merely illustrates what already
has been shown by the conduct of Pen
rose, Barnes and Crane and other re-
publican bosses that they had not the
slightest expectation of winning this
election and that their one purpose is
directly or indirectly to aid the demo.
Gratis in order that the progressives
may be beaten.
DISREGARD PARTY.
when the Abe Grubers, without re
gard to party, are eager to support
either of the old parties in order to
beat the progressive movement, then
IT is surely time for all honest, decent
citizens, without regard to past po
litical affiliations to support the pro
gressive party"
RETURNS WILL BE SLOW.
In majority of the states, the polls
will open between 8 and T. Full re
ports will not be available from any
section until after s o'clock (easterr
time) in the afternoon and compre
hensive returns from any states o.

night. Presidential candidates are pre-
pared to receive returns from state anC

II bled freely. which was a good thing,
although unpleasant at the time. The
physician spent an hour thoroughly
cleansing the cut. 1t was not necessary
