The PROGRESSIVE Vote.

The result seems to indicate that the slump in
the progressive vote benefited the Democrats
more than the Republicans, which means that
many of the progressives who have left their
party or who did not vote for its candidates this
wear must have voted with the Democrats.
Many Democrats voted for Colonel Roosevelt last
wear These have returned to the party and
some former Republicans probably came over
with them.
NJ the disntergration of the Progressive party
should remember that that party has hardly
passed the stage of one man organization, and
that their leader not only was not candidate.
but was not in the country, Whether Colonel
Roosevelt has lost his hold the millions who
supported him a year ago remains to be seen.

UNIQUE Campaign,

James II. c. Grasty. of Staunton, a brother
OF DR.. J. s. Grasty of the University, was elected
to the house of delegates from Augusta at the last
election. More than usual interest attaches to
the election of Mr.. Grasty, because of the kind
OF campaign he conducted. For the first time
in elections of this sort for the legislature. he
came out with platform at the beginning of his
campaign, and based his claim to the votes of
the people on that platform. One solitary re-

who oppose the move being as think, mis-

The work of road building in Virginia has ad-

State and the counties acting in cooperation,
have built on their own account 1000 miles OF
highways while the counties have built on their

this time including previous construction, more
than 600 miles OF improved highways. That

Sorrowing New York to Give
Gaynor Great Civic Funeral

NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-New York
was CITY of mourning today for
its dead Mayor, William J. Gaynor.
Flags flew at half-mast and public
buiidings-the City Hall, police
Headquarters, the municipal pulioing
were draped in black.
The Board of Estimate, calied 70
gether by Ardolph l.. Kline tne
Mayors successor, met this fore,
noon to arrange for public funeral
to be held shortly after the arrival
here of the Mayors body aboard the
steamer Lusitania, which sailed TO-
day from Liverpool and Is due here
a week from today.
Monday, september 22, has been

and of the board of aldermen to pass
appropriate resolutions on the death
of the chief executive and to take

The recent resignation of John

CLAIM NEW HAVEN
|SSpEED CRAZY
Locomotive Engineers Tel
Management Cause OF
Roads Trouble.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 12.-An
official committee of locomotive en-
gineers told the management of the
New Haven railroad today what they
considered the trouble with the road
"Too much pressure for speed is
their complaint. The committees
statements in part follow:
why does not the New Haven GO
back to the conditions prior to the
fall of 1911 without attempting these
proposed radical changes in relation
to it's engineers? Under the same
rules of operation the New Haven
from 1901 to 1911 was as safe as any
in the country. The present SEN
iority rule was made in 1901. The per-
sonnel of the engineers is virtually
the same today as Immediately prior
to 1911.
"For eight years or thereabouts the
New Haven was operated safely. 1t
carried more than 500.000,000 persons
with only one fatality. In the fall of
1911 came change. Henry j. Horn,
general manager, ordered that engi-
neers make time. Time must be
made the order read. If an engineer
was minute late he was lacked up.
The first time his engine ran by a
signal the engineer was summarily
dismissed.
1.-THE ambition was to make rec
ord of trains on time over any rail-
road in the country. The orders put
out in the fall of 1911 made New
Haven travel unsafe and demoralized
the esprit de corps"
New England discussed with in
terest today a speech made by Gov
ernor Foss. of Massachusetts,, at
Worcester last night in which he at
tackled the railroad situation vigor-
ously.

Is Explained.

Another woman whom the police be-

from the list of possible ones today.
when a dispatch from Havana reached
here containing the information that
Mrs Lena Janin and Vincent Planells,
whose name has been mentioned in
connection with the case, were found
living in a house in Havana street,

The couple said they had lived to-

question of the Janins obtaining a
divorce.

where the pillow and tar paper

were purchased, and were sought by
the police because Bolian had sent a
much-stained and discolored shirt to a
nearby laundry. The stains on the
garment were found later to be those
