H.-H. CROWD GETS SETBACK IN
TUESDAYS ELECTION

OESDA1 = EGEC - ION
Mr.. and Mrs. Voter went to the
polls hand in hand yesterday and
tossed Willie Hearst and his political
influence out of the window.
1t was the most crushing blow
ever handed Hearst and his Chicago
political agent, Andy Lawrence since
they first invaded Chicago. Their
subway was buried so deep that they
will never attempt to ride to victory
on it again.
Hearst, and on account of his con-
nection with Hearst, Harrison, were
repudiated at every point. Not only
did the subway come to violent end,
but every other proposition and every
candidate that Hearst openly sup
ported went down to defeat.
To make matters worse, Aid. John
H. Bauler, 22d Ward, whom the H.-H.
crowd double crossed in the primar-
les and then tossed out of their or
ganization, defeated the H-H.. can
didate, Gustav P. Bartnick. even
though Bauler was forced to run as
an independent.
The Twentieth Ward voters repeat
ed their action at the primaries when
they broke away from Hearst-Harri
son-Sabath control and nominated
Henry Flick and Matt Franz by elect
ing these men to Office. The H.-H.
crowd had set up Hugo Pitte and Abe
Kretske as Independents.
Another H.-H. leader who fell by
the wayside was Aid. Frank McDon-
aid of the 18th Ward. Frank H. Ray,
supported by labor and women, de-
feated him.
In the 21st Ward came a great sur
prise. 'tHot Stove Jimmy" Quinn,
peeved because the Democratic yot-
ers walloped him at the primaries and
nominated W.T.. Schofield, Sullivan
man, got even by double-crossing the

SIIGuSIu u Tie HOu- pdIIlSdl IlON0-
ment in Chicago politics.
''Votes for women" added nineteen
counties to the dry column, now
numbering 40, in Illinois, and several
large cities will close their saloons.
With but few exceptions, the male
vote alone in these cities and town
ships favored the "wets,' the women
voting heavily against the saloons. In
few cities, however, women helped
swell the majority in favor Of retain
ing the saloon. This was true in
Springfield, the capital of the state,
where majority of the women yot-
ers cast wet" ballots.
Each of the eight women candi-
dates for alderman in Chicago was
defeated, including Miss Marion H.
Drake, whose spectacular fight
against Aid. John Coughlin in the
First Ward aroused national interest.
On the other hand, women voters
eliminated several candidates clasSed
by non-partisan organizations as
thoroughly undesirable and forced
the election of three more non-par-
tisan candidates to the city council
against the wishes of the old party Or
CARNATIONS.
In proportion to the number of
both sex registered, women cast a
heavier vote yesterday in Chicago,
than the men. The total male vote
was 324,750 and the female vote
164,026.
Analysis of the women's vote in
Chicago today showed that while as
a general rule women balloted about
as their male relatives, the Progress
sive party and the non-partisan
movement received more than their
proportipnate share of the suffrage
vote. Women's votes elected two of
the three Progressives named yester-
day and seated three new non-paFti-
san aldermen.

"Some time ago wrote you about
my little boy, Clarence, five years Of

They were very sensitive to the touch,
and he was quite deaf at times. He
seemed to be worse after catching
cold. I had taken him to doctors. but
they did not seem to be able to relieve
him, and was very much afraid he
would lose his hearing entirely. He
was getting more deaf every day.

ONE DEAD, Two SCORE. HURT
Fast Passenger Train on tho Omaha
Road Wrecked At Mendoza by
Split Switch.

Two coaches of the Twin City Linn.
tied, fast passenger train between
Omaha and Minneapolis on the Omaha
road, plunged from the trestle over
the wagon road in Mendoza, Ave miles
from st. Paul, killing one woman, Sc
riously injuring two other persons
and causing lesser injuries to thirty
nine. A split switch was responsible
for the accident.
The dead woman was identified al
Miss Julia Higburg of Minneapolis
Miss Higburg had been teaching at
Elmore.
The day coach, the first to leave the
rails, went over the trestle and fell on
its side in the roadway twelve feet
below, while the observation car, just
behind, plunged over the embankment
lengthwise, tipped over on one side
and threw the passengers to the for
ward end of the car.
Passengers were hurled against the
seats, through windows and in some
cases pinned beneath the wrecked
seats in the day coach. Many were
made unconscious and only heroic
work by the passengers saved many
of them from death.
Minneapolis and St. Paul hospitals
are caring for wreck victims who were
taken from the cars by those who
were uninjured and hurried to the
Twin Cities in the coaches that re-
manned on the track.
Going at fairly high speed to make
up lost time, the train sped through
the village, having no orders to stop.
In front of the station the day coach
split the switch, rumbled over the ties
and onto the viaduct over the road.
The trestle crashed as the coach
struck it, and then the coach, after
smashing it's coupling with the car
ahead, plunged over the trestle and
lay in the road. The brick platform
of the station was plowed up like so
many clOds of earth.
In a little more than half an hour
after the wreck every wounded pas
senger had received temporary treat
ment and was made as comfortable
as possible in the other coaches. A
nun on board organized relief work
and instructed others in the care Of
the injured until physicians reached
the scene from St. Paul in automo-
biles.

WESTINGHOUSE DIES
OF HEART DISEASE
Noted Inventor Expires Rather
Unexpectedly.

New York, March 14-George West
inghouse, who invented the airbrake
and through this agency proba bly,
saved more lives than any other man
of the country, died at his home here
of heart disease.
Mr.. Westinghouse death came but
a few hours after the public was ad-
vised of his serious illness. The dis
ease manifested itself fifteen months
ago and is believed to have been
brought on by the blow his ventures
suffered in the depression of 1907.
His career as an inventor started
when he was but fifteen years old,
when he evolved rotary engine. Be-
fore he was twenty one he invented
the airbrake, which made huge for.
tunes for his hackers.
The genius Of Westinghouse touch
ed many things. Besides railroading
for more than fifty years he made
many contributions to electrical and
engineering advancement He found
ed many manufacturing companies
here and abroad and the plants en-
ploy more than $4,000 persons. They
have capitalization totaling more
than $200,0o0,o00. '-~
In 1885 he succeeding in introduce
ing the alternating current system for
supplying electric light and power.
He invented many appliances for rail-
road signals, devices for safely and
economically conveying natural gas
over great distances, air springs for
all kinds Of motor vehicles and a
geared turbine for propelling ships
His inventions total in the hundreds.
