WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 LEADERS REJOICING
Votes for Women Apparently Granted
 in Two Of Seven States Voting

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Womau suffrage leaders rejoiced tonight when belated returns indicated that votes for wo- men had been apparently granted in two of the seven states voting on the question in Tuesdays election, with a third state in doubt. First returns had indicated refusal of the franchise to women in all seven states concerned.
 Montana and Nevada, according to the latest returns, granted votes to women, while Nebraska showed such a small vote against the proposal that the women claimed the state. Missou- ri, Ohio and North and South Dakota refused to grant equal suffrage, the majority against granting the fran chise to women increasing with the size of the population concerned.
 In Montana, where workers of the American woma nsuffrage association made heroic efforts to win the ballot, the vote was so close that the official count will be necessary to decide the outcome, but the women have a slight lead on incomplete returns

INDIANA BARS CATTLE
 FROM oUARANTNED STATES
Importatiens of Hay, Straw or Fodder
 is Prohibited Also

Indianapolis, Ind. Nov. 4-Importa- dons of cattle, sheep or swine into h. diana from either Michigan, Illinois. Ohio or Pennsylvania are forbtddden by a proclamation issued by Govern or Ralston late today. The importation of hay, straw or fodder from those states is prohibited aslo as means to check the spread of the foot and mouth disease among cloven hoof animals
 The governor sets forth in his pro- clamation that shipments of stock for the states named would be prejudi- cial to the health of the domestic anil maIs of this state and menace to it's entire animal industry, as well as to the health of the people and their food supply"
 The four states. together with h. diana, are all under quarantine estab .. lished by the federal bureau of animal indugtry because of the disease.
 "As a matter of precaution. it was explained, a quarantine similar to the one in force on the Chicago stock yards was placed on the Indianapolis stock yards today. No cases of the foot and mouth disease have been dis covered in the local yards.

German WarshiPs in Command of
 Southern Waters.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 1.-The victory of the German squadron over he British of the coast of Chile places new aspect on the naval situation in he Pacific, it was pointed out by ob- bervers here today.
 For the present at least it definitely Glifts command of southern waters to he Germans and, until there has been readjustment of forces, will make it. Jeff felt in the movement of all car soes between the Pacific coast and Europe.
 Which way tine Germans will elect b turn is speculative, but they are Tee to move northward to the Panama Eznal or to continue southward toward he Straits of Magellan and the route Eound the Horn
 At the same time the trade lanes be- ween San Francisco, Puget sound and he Orient, already heavily policed by Japanese and British, are declared to be cleared of menace and the allied patrois can move against the enemy Eith a. definite objective.
 The engagement accounts for all eernan warshipS at large in the Pa Sic and east of the Suez except the emden, whose repeated raids on Brit sh commerce in the Indian ocean have teen costly.

AFFAIRS OF INTEREST
 TN WALL STREET
Expiration of British Moratorium Has No Effect Either in London or New York.

New York, Nov. 4.-walI Street tenn porarily abandoned itsh interest in in ternational affairs today to give some consideration to the outcome of the elections. With the stock market still under closure, there was no way of measuring the significance of the over turn in terms of security values but conservative opinion inclined to the belfef that under normal conditions the market would have responded with a vigorous upturn of prices.
 On the other hand it was regarded as debatable question whether these political conditions would not have been largely neutralized by the latest victories of the German navy These were accompanied by another sharp rise in transatlantic rates, while war risks on ships plying between North and South American ports were vir- tually prohibitive, according to report
 Expiration of the British moratorium was without appreciable effect either in London or here. albeit the London stock exchange has formulated, with government aid, an elaborate plan to be employed when market operations are resumed The plan applies main i ly to the carrying of margined ac- counts and is plainly an emergency measure The weekly statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany, which showed an increase of s150 oO0, ,0o0 in gold reserves in the three months of the war, reflected the large payments made in connection with the war loan.

Russia is the only one of the beIlig- erent countries to claim in late re- ports anything akin to a decisive vic- 6ory for her arms. In East Prussia the German left wing Is said to be re- treating precipitately toward Bialia and Lyck and in Poland the Austrlans are reported as fleeing toward the iron tier Near Kelce the Russians de- clare they captured 15,000 men.
 To the contrary, however, the Aus trians say they have been able to hold the Russians at Lysa Cora, in South wheeling movement to another line of defence.
 Nothing Definite From France
 Along the battle front in Belgium and France probably the most anIoi- tious feats at arms are occurring in the region around Ypres, upon which the Germans fell back from the north on account of their failure through j~overa1 contingencies to pierce the al- d lines and work their way down the coast to Calais. Endorsements are being brought up here by the Germans and an attack in force is expected to take place shortly against the alIies in renewed attempt to proceed to Ca iais. Both sides make claim to only slight advantages at various points along this line
 A Belgian official report says that allied troops accommodating as far as Lombaertzyde, on the Yser front near Schoorbakke, found no Germans but that "an almost unbroIen column of the enemy of al arms, extending from Leke to Therout has marched in a norther1y direction"

 had been i'll si1ce last June with cirr- hosis of the liver. He came here against the advice of his physician.
 Fritz Augustus Heinze, who died this evening at Saratoga, had sen sational career in the financial world. After acquiring a fortune of millions through mining interests in the west he came to New York and became in- terested in other ventures, most of which were not successful. For several years MT. Heinze had been involved in litigation almost continuously and 1t was said by his associates that he had lost a large part Of his fortune
 From the time he was graduated rom the Columbia School of Mines in 1889 until his death, he was iden- t1f1ed with mining and smelting oper- ations and only about a month ago re- turned from a trip through the west in connection with his holdings. His interests were especially large in Mon tana and British Columbia. In Mon tana he was at one time a power in in politics.
 Soon after going to Montana at the age of 20, MT. Heinze organized the Montana re Purchasing company at Butte. Later he became president of the United Copper company and of the State Savings bank at Butte. Among other companies in which he was a dominating figure were the Davis-Daly Mining company in Montana, the Ohio Copper Mining company and va rious railway companies.
 After coming to New York in 1906 he became president of the Mercantile bank in 1907 and was soon beset by business troubles. Loans made dur ing the panic of 1907 which the gov ernment claimed went to help his brothers Otto and Arthur, who com posed the firm of Otto Heinze and Company, resulted in his indictment on the charge of misapplying $2,235,- i 900 of the banks funds. The case against him eventually was dismissed Former Senator kean.

their passports, Some of them al- ready have left their posts, while oth- CTS will depart tomorrow.
 Although no statement to this effect has been given out, it is understood that Turkeys apology for the actions of her fleet in bombarding Russian Black sea ports and Russian ships proved unacceptable to the powers of the triple entente in that Turkey was not prepared to accede to the demand that the German officers in her service be dismissed and the ships purchased from Germany dismantled.
 The powers which the Ottoman gov ernment thus defied are already taking warlike action against Turkey. The British have destroyed Fort Akabah in Arabia; the Russians have invaded Asia Minor, and an Anglo-French fleet is hombarding the forts of he Darda- nel1es.
