ELECTION IS WON
ON TARIFF STAND
Major Nicely Gains Seat in Con-
gress From West Virginia
by $500 Plurality.

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 15.-Major
Matthew NJ. Neely, democrat, yester-
day was elected by u plurality of
nearly $500 in the special congress

second, and George A. iaughlin. pro-
gressive, a poor third. TIE combined
vote barely exceeded that of Neely.
The tariff was the issue and the
election of a democrat in normally
republican district is taken to mean
that voters generally are willing to
give the law a chance. Despite the
strenuous efforts of all three party
organizations, not more than 90 per
cent of the total registration voted

day. At the same time there was a
remote possibility that the case might
collapse.
Counsel for the impeachment man
ayers asked that the court recon-
mend to the assembly the bringing of
a new article of impeachment il the
testimony of Duncan w. Peck, super
intendent of public works. and Henry
l. Morgenthau should be found not
relevant to any charge in the present
articles.
Whether this testimony was relevant
TO article 4, which charges the gov
ernor with suppressing evidence be-
fore the Frawley investigating commit
tee, was the subject of debate in execu.
tive session and was undecided when
adjournment was taken last night un.
til today. On the result of the courts
deliberations on this issue will de-
pend whether the tribunal. will pro-
ceed to vote on a verdict now or await
the action of the assembly on a new
article of impeachment.
POLITICS ENTERS CASE ANEW.
1t is considered doubtful whether
the necessary majority of the assem-
bly, to vote a new article could be OBJ
tanned. The suggestion was made that
many of the assemblymen would be
candidates at the coming election and
politics might be injected into the as
sembly's course to an acute degree.
The specific issue placed before the
court in allday arguments of counsel
was whether the Peck-Morgenthau tes-
timony constituted new charge At
torney Stanchfield for the impeach-
ment managers brought it to a climax
by proposing an amendment to arti-
Gle 4 to specify the names of Peck and
Morgenthau in addition to those of
Frederick A. Colwell, Louis A. Sar-
ecky and Melville b. Fuller, as persons
whom the governor sought to prevent
from testifying before the Frawley
committee.
Peck swore that the governor had
asked him. If called before the commit
tee, to deny under oath that he had
given $500 for his campaign. Morgen-
thau testified the governor had asked
him in connection with his $500 con-
tribution ito be easy with him"
MAKES FELONY CHARGES ALSO.
The proposed amendment further
differed from the original in that 1t
specified that the governor attempted
subornation Of perjury, a felony,
whereas the original merely charged
that he used threats and menaces," a
misdemeanor.
There were rumors that several of the
nine judges of the court of appeals felt
that constitutional objections against
articles l, 2 and 6, the money artf-
cles,'' were well taken. II these OBJ
jections are upheld and there is no ar
tlcle, as the case now stands, under
which the Peck-Morgenthau testimony
can be considered. there Is a possibili-
ty that the case may fall completely.
When court adjourned, it was ru-
mored a motion was under debate TO
adopt the proposed amendment There
was also an amendment to the motion
itself, but It's nature could not be
learned.

ALL ROCKETS SET OFF.
"The boats did not get near enough
TO US so we could throw line. Cap
tain Inch tried to shoot a line to one
of the boats with a rocket. A spark
set off all our rockets at once. At the
same minute the ship was rocked by
terrific explosion on the bridge. All
our ammunition had gone up. A half
dozen passengers jumped into the
ocean and swan for boats. We or
dered the other passengers to fasten
on life belts. They did so and be-

THE half dozen who jumped had
lines about them and were pulled back
TO the ship, when they couldn't make

The captain of the Kroonland, think

The fire spread amidships. All our
lights went out. Searchlights of the
II ships were around us and the glare
of the fire guided us. | gave an order
that all make ready to jump for the
boats. Captain Inch was still on the
bridge. Passengers made ready and
some jumped into the water when the
boats got close. Some were picked

A boat from the Grosser Kurfurst al

The survivors aboard the Kurfurst

MORE TALES Of BRAVERY.
More instances of the bravery Of the
crew OF the Volturno are related in a
wireless from John Hasiup Adams OF
Baltimore, passenger on the Grosser
Kurfurst, which arrived today.
The message in part reads: Third

GETS INJUNCTION.

Attorney F. H. Rehberg Friday
received from Judge Edgar Steele
an order for an Injunction against
the commissioners of the Glenwood
Highway District The Injunction Is
sought to stop the commissioners from
collecting a special levy Of 1919 mills
against the property of people living
in the highway district, the COM
plant alleging that the levy Is ex-
cessive and not legal, as the law in
such cases only grants the commits
sioners the power to levy a tax of 5
mills and In this case the commits
sionefs have exceeded that authority.
The case will come up for a hear
ing in the next few days, when the
court will be asked for permanent
injunction. Progress.
