BOTH PARTIES ARE PLEASED
Republicans Note Gains, Democrats
ESee Endorsement of Plans.

Washington, D. C.-Both Chairman
Doremus, of the Democratic congress
sional committee, and Chairman
Woods, of the Republican congression-
al committee, express satisfaction
with the result of the elections.
Massachusetts,, New Jersey and
Maryland voters" said Mr.. Doremus,
"have indorsed President Wilson 8
progressive policies, including tariff,
currency and Mexico. The results in
dictate that manufacturing interests
are not apprehensive Of the tariff re-
auctions.
"Many Republicans have been elect
ed to public Office now held by Demo-
Gratis, said Chairman Woods. "There
has been a tremendous Republican
gain and a tremendous Democratic
loss compared to the last elections in
the same districts. The Bull Moose
as a party demonstrated that they
have practically no strength at all;
their candidates would have received
probably more votes if they had sim
ply been candidates on an independent
ticket

KAISER PAYS BIG FOR
CONTROL OF NEWSPAPER

Berlin-It is reported here that ST.
10000 has been paid to retain a
newspaper mouthpiece for the kaiser's
use. The money was paid to the Au-
gust Scherl Newspaper company, own
ers of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, in
return for pledge to keep the paper
constantly at the government dis
posal.
This influential journal was in dan
ger of becoming the property of Ru-
dolph Mosse, owner of the Berliner
Tageblatt. The transfer would have
left the imperial party without an inn
portant newspaper.

New York Election returns show a
complete triumph for the Democrats
in Massachusetts, where a governor
and state ticket were chosen in four
cornered fight, the selection Of Dem
ocratic governor and state ticket in
Virginia without contest, the ascend
ancy of fusion over Tammany in New
York City, with indications Of Repub-
lican victory for the New York assem-
bly, and the judicial ticket, and the
election Of James F.. Fielder, Demo-
crat, as governor Of New Jersey.
A feature Of the New Jersey cleo
ton is that the vote cast for Everett
Colby, the Progressive candidate, will
not exceed 10000, as compared with
145, 40 received year ago by Colonel
Roosevelt for President. Fielder's in
Dictated plurality is about $4,000.
Fielder's vote in the returns at
hand is running slightly below that
received by Woodrow Wilson year
ago, which was 178, 289. Stokes vote
probably will exceed $50, 900, as COM
pared with SO, received by Taft
last year. Fielder's plurality in the
state is probably 10000 and may ex-
coed that amount.
Estimates from Hudson county,
Fielder's home county, show that
Fielder has carried it by 10000.
Stokes apparently has carried Essex
county, the home Of Colby and also the
home of ex-senator Smith and ex-
Democratic State Chairman Nugent,
whom Fielder, on the stump, accused
Of working against him.

in is Heir to John WIS Cash.


New York 1t is made known here
that the fortune of Charles G. Gates,
estimated at $1,000, 900, is left out
right to his widow, who was Miss
Florence Hopwood, Of Minneapolis.
The bulk of John w. Gates wealth

When John w. Gates died he be-
queathed almost his entire fortune to
his widow. Charles G. Gates, the
only son, received $1,000, 900 and an
income of 500, 600 year from Gates

the bulk of the $50, O00,O estate left
to his mother would have gone to him.
Now, it is believed, Baker will inherit
this money.

CURRENCY BILL
Republicans Aid Reed and Hitch

Administration Leader Says Plan
Equivalent to Central:Bank;
Predicts Dire Results.

Warrington, D. C. - An entirely
new feature was tentatively written
into the administration currency bill
by the senate committee, after full
day OF heated wrangle.
The new plan was characterized by
Chairman Owen, chief administration
supporter in the committee, as equiv
alent to central bank" He said the
committee adjourned with the matter
"up in the air."
The new scheme would provide for
the Capitalization of one-half of the
reserves to be held by the regional
banks in the proposed new system.
This proportion would be placed under
the complete control of the federal re-
serve board and would be held in
Washington to be administered for the
aid and convenience of the entire
banking system.
AS finally voted on the proposal was
a modification Of plan proposed by
Senator Reed, of Missouri, who sug-
gested it as means Of composing the
wide difference among members of the
committee. Senator Reed and Senator
Hitchcock joined with the Republicans
in voting for the plan, which was op-
posed by Senators Owen, Pomerene,
Hollis, O'Gorman and Shafroth.
Senator Owen was plainly agitated
over the progress of affairs in the
committee. After the vote on the
Reed PROPOSAL he declared that if an
opportunity were given him he would
demonstrate that the plan would not

Statement to People.
Havana General Felix Diaz, fugi-
tive from Mexico, arrived here on the
steamer Esperanza, to which he had
been transferred from the United
States battleship Michigan off the
Mexican coast.
General Diaz gave out the following
statement:
ITO the Mexican People: When
left the country to fulfill the mission
entrusted to me towards the Japanese
government, constitutional order pre-
vailed in full vigor. This lawful stu
alton was maintained until the date
on which, by instruction sent to Paris,
/ was relieved of my high charge and
left at liberty to fulfill the obligation
voluntarily contracted by me with my
followers and friends.
"True to my promise, / returned to
my country without losing time, and
during my homeward journey the dis
solution of congress and the arrest of
majority of the peoples representa-
tives were brought about by executive
order, which, unfortunately, disrupted
the constitutional condition which pre-
vailed when left. Before such ter
rible situation the sole purpose which
guided me was to remain in the coun-
try during the time occupied by the
Presidential election, thereby fulfilling
by my presence the requirement of the
law governing election.
my purpose being accomplished,
and as did not wish to be involved in
the anti-constitutional proceedings
which are certain to develop in Next
co, am compelled to leave the coun-
try. l am going abroad"
