FOUGHT EIGHT DAYS
 TO CONQUER DRUG
New York Merchant Swallowed Bichloride of Mercury By Mis-
 take and It Proved Fatal.

New York, Oct 27.--Isaac Levy, the retired clothing merchant of Bensonhurst, died today from bichlor idle of mercury poisoning. His valiant fight to defeat the effects of that deadly drug by indomitable will power alone enabled him to stave off inexorable fate for 179 hours.
 When death came every vital organ of his body had been destroyed by the ravages of the poison, but up to within two hours of the end he was conscious. The last words spoke by MT. Levy were several hours before his death when he whispered to the heart broken family, gathered around his bedside, Be your natural selves. Let us not act funeral"
 For many hours before Mir. Levy died there had been no manifesto tion that the end was near. The splendid exhibitioni of will power was as noticeable as on the first day. eight days ago, when he discovered that he had accidently swallowed thirty grains of the drug in mistake for asperin and the doctors who held the first hurried consultation, an nounced that he had not even one chance in million to pull. through.
 Before he sank into fathomless coma today he no longer could see or make sign. He was motionless figure which lay with eyes staring upward, but even with that look he was smiling benediction on the sor- rowful ones gathered at his bedside. He will be buried tomorrow.

nor any government form as the re- suit of the election just held.
 The hint is, however, thrown out by some diplomatic officials that while a president could not be elect ed by less than a majority vote in Mexico. the deputies might have been elected by plurality vote.
 Secretary Bryan was asked many questions today to develop the views of the State Department He lodged all of them.
 Great Britian had stated that she would cooperate with the United States on any policy the president would announce Mir. Bryan would not discuss this proposition. Other officials pointed out that if the Unit ed States accepted Great Britain's cooperation this country would to a large degree abandon it's asserted right of independence and exclusive action, as indicated by Senator Bacon.s
 The statement was also referred to Mr. Bryan that it was reported in London that the foreign office had declared that the recognition by Great Britian of Huerta was Honly pending the election" The State De- partment, Mr. Bryan said, had no official confirmation of the report, but it is therefore awaiting the formal withdrawal to the credentials formally presented a few days ago to Huerta by Sir Lionel Garden.
 Secretary Bryan announced that the Department had not yet received reports from Special Envoy Lind or Shaughnessy, charge daffairs, GOV ering the election.
 Several dispatches were, however, received from small towns, all of which indicatd small vote. dis patch from Nuevo Laredo stated that the vote there was light, but that Felix Diaz seemed to be in the lead. Ciudad Juarez reported that not more than five per cent of the vote was cast
 Dispatches from Mexico City state that the vote was light, owing to apathy on the part of the public.

BANKERS TO BE WELL REPRESENTED
  Plan Is to Have Three of Them on the Federal
 Reserve Board HEARINGS CLOSE
Currency Bill Will Not Provide For q Central Bank-Take up Mcas-
 ure Today.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The currency bill to be reported to the Senate Com- mittee on Banking and Currency will not provide for central bank. There will be seven regional reserve banks, one each to be located in Boston, New York, St. Louis. New Orleans, Den yer and San Francisco.
 The federal reserve board will con- sist of seven members to be appointed by the President but no member of the Cabinet will be allowed to serve. The control of the regional reserve banks will be under the plan outlined in the Glass-Owen bill.
 An effort will be made to give the banks representation on the federal reserve board by requiring the presi- dent to appoint at least three of the federal reserve board from the list of names to be submitted by the banking interests. Whether the public or the banks are to be given the first oppor- tunity at subscribing for the capital stock of the regionals is a question lutions, Professor Jenks was heard today behind closed doors. Two or thre other experts are to be heard in the same way. So far as actual pro- gress is concerned, today might as yet to be determined.

Jenks of the University of New York, who sub mitted a. bill along the lines of his views previously expressed to the committee.

 Tomorrow the committee will begin consideration of the measure in exc cutive session. The first question to be determined will be whether there shall be central bank or number of regionals as advised by the presi- dent. Regionals will be agreed upon and the details worked out from that starting point. If the committee re- ports within two weeks it will be satisfactory; if a report goes to the Senate earlier everybody will be sur prised.

DUKE D'ABRUZZI
 LOST MISS ELkINS
LATE SENATOR'S DAUGHTER WAS MARRIED TO WILLIAM F.
 HIT YESTERDAY.
Her Mother Did Not Know of Plans Until Shortly Before the
 Ceremony.

Elkins, w. Va, Oct. 27.-'Miss Elkins, daughter of the late Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, at one time reported to be the fiance of the Duke D'Abruzzi, of Italy, mar ried William F. Hit, son of the late Representative R. R. Hit, of Illinois, ia the drawing room of Halliehurst the Elkins mansion, at 1 o'clock to- day. The affair was arranged with such secrecy that the brides mother did not know of it until three hours before the ceremony.
 Neither the mother of the bride groom or any member of his family was present. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Frederick Barron, of the Davis Presbyterian church at Elkins, in the presence of only a few of her relatives and Miss Brit ton, of Washington, D. C., whose en- gagement to State Senator Richard Elkins, brother of today's bride, it is said, will be announced shortly.
 State Senator Richard Elkins acted as best man for MT. Hit and Mrs. Blaine Elkins. sister-in-law of Miss Elkins, was the matron of honor. There were no bridesmaids.
 After the ceremony Mrs. Hit put on a dark brown travelling costume with one of her picturesque black Gainesborough hats, with dropping black feathers. It is thought that despite the announcement that they were going east. they will go direct to Homeland Hunting Lodge, al Middleburg, Va, where much of their courtship was spent.
 The members of the family were totally unprepared for the event and it is said that the bride stated that she was only carrying out her often repeated threats that when she mar ried she would do it in a hurry and probably before a justice of the peace. Her family persuaded her to give up the justice of the peace idea

Of Local Importance.

The decision rendered by the Supreme Court yesterday will prob- ably cause the commissioners of the two improvement districts of this city to now proceed with the work planned. One district was for the repaving of Main street from Bar- raque, from Main to Chestnut street. The other district was formed for the paving of Pine street, from Fourth avenue south to the old lake bed. Now that the legal obstacles are removed it is probable that bids will be asked for. the contract let and work begun shortly.

Mexico May Not Have New Administration if Huerta Can Prevent It
|n1AZ VOTE IS LARGE
|p,onmuet Could Legally Be Elected
 Vice President To Serve With Diaz.

Mexico City, Oct. 27.-While no of kficial returns from yesterdays cleo
 tion have been given out, it is known
 that Frederick Gamboa, the Catholic
 marty candidate, carried the federal district with Felix Diaz second, al-
 though Huerta and Blanquet receiv- ed about 5000 votes, mostly from the soldiers. Huerta and Blanquet car- ried the State of Guerrero by a [large majority. Their main strength kcame from the soldiers. 1 It is considered probably that Huerta and Banquet will be shown | to have received the majority of the ! vote cast throughout the republic by l the unanimity of the military vote l and the activity of the provincial au- thorities in favor of the administra- Eton ticket.
 { It is generally believed that Diaz Ewill be found to have run a strong Esecoad and Gamboa third. As Huerta 1 has publicity declared that he would I not accept election because of the illegality of his candidacy and also of his previous declaration to the same effect, the possibility exists that Diaz may have obtained a suffi- cient number of legal votes to elect him president.
 As there is no reason why Blan- Equet should not legally be elected ! vice president, the vote cast for Huerta and him must be counted for him so .thatShe may be selected to serve as vice president with Diaz, rather difficult combination in view of recent occurrences.
 Despite the speculation it is gen. erally accepted that the new con- gress which will be convened on No- vmber 20, will annul the election and that Huerta will remain in power.
 Because of signs of uneasiness among the Felicistas, the police are watching closely for signs of an up- rising. There has been considerable talk of new revolution, but wheth- CT it is to start here or elsewhere is not known. However, an outbreak is looked for in some directions before many days.
 In San Luis in Potosi the situa- tion is particularly menacing al- though the election there passed off quietly, the Huerta- -Blanquet ticket receiving the great majority of the vote.
 A troop train was blown up yester- day morning near San Salvador eighty federals being killed and many injured.
 The War Department announced today that the city of Torreon had been taken by the federals yesterday and that three of the rebel leaders had been hung in the plaza.

came the float of the odd Fellows. whose convention convened in Hot Springs today. With the odd Fellows were the Cantons from Little Rock. Pine Bluff and other cities. Next came the float of the Red Men and their marching delegates, and last. though by no means least, was the representation of the Loyal Order of Moose, which was one of the most striking and picturesque of all the fraternal bodies. The Moose float represented a miniature forest. From out the trees and foliage large Moose gazed over the float on which were seated ten little girls all dress ed in white, while painted on the float was the announcement they were pro- tected by the Moose. This order also had it's respective Queen, Miss Louis Petit, daughter of Alderman Tom J. Pettit who held the reins ov- er a pared tandem team of spotless white horses, and after her came the Moose Drum and Bugle Corps and big march delegation.
 Fraternal Orders Drill.
 Those participating in the opening pageant were given stations facing the grandstand, and as soon as the last float had passed the Knights of Pythias, odd Fellows, Woodmen of the World and Ouachita College cadets executed drills, which were encored time and again. The intricate move ment by the fraternal organizations was especially interesting. The Odd Fellows, it should be stated, were also represented ill this pageant by the Orphans Home band, considered the best juvenile musical organization in the South.
 Immediately after the drills had been concluded Governor Hays arose and introduced Miss Willie Hooker, who designed the new flag for Arkan- sas, who read description of the new emblem of the commonwealth, announcing that she had come to pub licly christen the flag. Escorted by Governor Hays, President w. W. Wat CTS and Mayor McClendon, Miss Hook CT walked across the track to the queens throne, back of which large flag pole holding silk flag of the state had been erected. Miss Hook CT was given bottle filled with wat CT from the hot springs of this. city. The Queen of the Fair slowly pulled the flag to the top of the pole ana Miss Hooker broke the bottle over the new standard.
 The breaking of the bottle was the cue for one of the greatest display of daylight fireworks ever seen here, and at the same instant one thous- and small balloons, each carrying a

TESTIFIED WHILE
LYING ON COT
Candidate for U. S. Senator Denies
That He is Guilty in Bribery
Scandal.

WEBSTER SPRINGS, W. Va. June
2S.-Under protest from his physic-
ians, William Seymour Edwards,
whose candidacy for United States
senator precipitated the West Vir-
ginia legislature bribery scandal to-
day testified from a cot in the trial
of Senator Ben A. Smith, charged
with accepting a bride to vote for
Edwards. He said that he. Governor

SOME FACTS ABOUT sEAWEED
Great Variety of Use Found for It In
Various Parts of the
World

Some interesting facts about sea-
weeds which are used as food or for
producing vegetable gelatines or CLUES
are brought out by Messrs Perrot and
Gatin in the French Oceanographic in
stitute Seaweeds are not much used
in Europe except for alkalies or iodine
preparation. In the north coast re-
gions of France the seaweed Is used
by the peasants as a manure upon the
fields. Medical uses can be mentioned,
and the variety called Iceland moss
Ia collected in Brittany to a consider
able extent, this reaching twenty tons
of dry seaweed in 1904. One variety
of seaweed is very good vermifuge,
and is extensively used for this pur-
pose in Corsica On account OF the
iodine which they contain some sea-
weeds are remedies against goitre and
scrofula. AS to food uses, this seems
to be limited to the Brittany region,
and only the poorer population con-
sumes it. Although limited in Eu-
rope, the use of seaweeds as food is
| widespread in the extreme Orient. In
Japan edible seaweed is prepared in a
number of ways, and it is much cult
waited. Iodine is not manufactured in
that country at present. One use is
| for preparing agar-agar, gelose and
vegetable glue. Seeing that the gel
atines from this source are scarcely
nutritious, the authors explain their
extensive use by the manner of liv-
| ing. and as the populations consume
| great quantities of fish and rice 1t Is
thought that the gelatinous substan'
| ccs aid in digestion and in the intes-
final functions. 1t is valuable for ali
