VICTORY FOR MENOCAL
Conservative Candidate Is Elected
President of Cuba

Havana, Nov. 2.-The sweeping vic
tory of General Mario Menocal and
Enrique Jose Varona, the Conserva-
tive candidates for the presidency and
vice presidency and of the rest of the
Conservative ticket for the executive
offices of the Cuban republic, appears
to be fully confirmed by the returns
received from the provinces today.
Ell Triunfo, the administration or
gan, continues, however, to claim that
Alfredo Zayas, the Liberal candidate,
has been elected There is practically
no doubt that the Conservatives carried
all the provinces with the possible ex
ception of Matanzas, but in some
places the vote vas extremely close.
The Liberals appear have car
ried only a few municipalities. At the
small town of Jiguani, in Oriente
province, partisan clash re-
suited in the destruction of the regis
tration lists. rendering the election i'm
possible. In Havana one man was
shot and killed during an election dis
pute, but no other conflict occurred
here. General confidence is felt here
that there will be no disorder, but as
a precautionary measure the military
occupation of Havana probably will
continue until Monday.

Picnic A Big Success

Apparently every person in the city
and many visiting friends gathered in
the City Park Wednesday afternoon
to participate in the civic half holiday
and union sunday school picnic. 1t
was grand success, as the large crowd
present testified by the way they enter
ed into the sports, and the general good
will and happiness which existed
throughout the afternoon. In fact, so
enjoyable was the whole event that it
is highly probable that it will become an
annual affair.
The sports furnished much amuse-
ment to the onlookers and the prizes
offered drew many entries in each
event. Especially amusing were the
grand stand stunts. Some good talent
was disclosed in the yelling connie"
contest, this event proving to be half
way between beginning class in voice
culture and steam caliOpe. 1t was a
scream" The best looking politicians
made favorable showing along with
the prettiest babies and there was no
doubt but that Bill Campbell deserved
the lemon. Several visiting office
seekers lined up in this event but none
of them had anything on our Bill.

Two More Wrecks on p. NJ.

Local freight No. so from saginaw
was wrecked two and one half miles
west of this city at : o'clock Wednes
day night. A broken bra& beam threw
one of the trucks OH coal car from
the rails but none of the cars left the
track until the train had pr. ceedeC
about a mile. The derailed truck left
the road bed on cnrve, throwing six
cars from the track. There were four
cars of coal and two box cars, one q
refrigerator containing 200 cases OF
eggs The latter was turned over on
its side and most of the contents brok.
ell. The road bed on either side of the
track was strewn with coal.
The evening train from Port Huron
proceeded to the scene of the wreck
when the passengers from the train
from Saginaw were transferred. The
wrecker from Port Huron was called
and it was early Thursday morning
before the rails were replaced and the
track cleared SO trains could pass. One
coal car was completely demolished but
the other cars were righted, placed on
track and brought to this city.
An interesting feature in con.
nection with the wreck which occurred
Wednesday night is the lack OF provls-
ion which the Pere Marquette makes
for accidents of this nature. so thor
oughly hard-up is this road that they
had no extra rails to bring along with
the wrecker and it was necessary for
the crew to take up some OF the rails
from one of the sidings here to replace
those which were broken in the wreck.
Again we are brought to mind of a
greater disaster which will inevitably
happen when a passenger instead OF a
freight train is wrecked. Although
this wreck can not be laid TO the con-
dition of the track or equipment,
nevertheless, the condition of the road
bed warrants some decided improve
ments and that at once.
Thursday afternoon, while the wreck
ing train was returning to saginaw
after clearing up the wreck which hap
pened near this city the night before,
spreading rails near Sherwood caused
the train to leave the track, the large
crane turning turtle. Traffic was delay
ed several hours, the night tram from
Saginaw being about four hours late.
No one was injured.

CARRY CHILDREN
: TO THE SCHOOLS.
Plan Proposed to Solve Educational
Question Troubling Chevy
Chase, Md.

Instead Of erecting portable school
buildings In Ch svy Chase. Nd. to meet
the situation caused by the barring Of
the children Of that community from the
District schools unless they pay tuition.
1t is probable that the pupils win be
transported this term and the succeeding
one to the school at Bethesda. Md.
Two plans have been suggested to solve
The problem OF education Just across the
District line. Either portable schools
must be erected temporarily until funds
can be obtained for the establishment OF
permanent ones. or else the children Of
the town must be moved to existing
schools. The former plan is almost out
of the question because Of the fact that
only slim funds are available.
The second plan is the only logical
one. in my opinion" said DR.. Ryan
Devereux. nephew Of Archbishop Ryan
and one of the Public School Commits
sioners. who is to be the principal speaker
at the public meeting to be held In the
Chevy Chase Library at o'clock to-mor-
row night for the purpose OF considering
the school problem.
Transportation Feasible.
Tho only feasible thing to DO IL to
transport the children by wagons to the
schoolhouse at Bethesda A wagon line
could be run across from Chevy Chase to
Friendship and thence to the desired
point. The School Commissioners are
badly in debt, and II would be impossible
to erect portable schools at the present
time. The transportation scheme has
been used in other parts OF the country
and has given perfect satisfaction. In
my estimation. It Is far better to carry
the children to q good school than to
bring a one-horse one to them
with this temporary arrangement IN
effect. plans for the establishment of
permanent school buildings in the coun-
ty could be considered The present
buildings In the county are a disgrace.
No educational facilities have ever been
furnished the people Of this community.
We intend to wage a vigorous crusade
for tho establishment Of schools in the
near future
