The republicans will hold three ral- lies. Speakers will attempt to snare the votes at the corner of Dwight and East streets in Skritulsky's hall and at Benz's hall.
 Both sides kept up their steady can- nonading last night. Alderman George A. Quigley spoke to large gathering of Jewish voters in Odd Fellows hall, and Mayor Joseph M. Halloran ad- dressed an assembly of French voters in Giddings' hall.
 It is the general opinion along the streets that the vote tomorrow will be heavy and that the results will be in doubt until the last returns are count ed

continue clean tactics in combating this new angle.'
 Last Arguments Tonight.
 Desperate efforts will be made by both parties tonight to hammer home their last arguments of the campaign and probably shift the minds of those who are on the fence It is probable that there will be more oratory to the square foot in this city than there ever has been before. .-
 Every ward will be visited and any voter who has not heard the various blanks expounded and explained will be given an opportunity to hear what is going to be done for the "dear peepul' during the next two years. Republicans and democrats will assail each others fondest arguments and the last night of the campaign will re- solve itself into a. vocal maratho on, with each party trying to outshout the other. The determination of the lead- CTS indicates to many that the race to- morrow is going to be close and that neither side is absolutely confident of winning, although the party pilots ex- press great confidence.
 Spellbinders will sweep over the city in great numbers. Republican orators will pierce democratic strongho1ds in the fifth and sxth wards and the demo- crats will repay them in kind by send ing their best "stumpers'' into the first, second and fourth wards, where the republicans are strong.
 .. Democratic Rallies.
 The democratic rallies and the speakers are as follows:
 The first ward rally will be at old Turner hall, the second at Curtin's block on Park street and at the corner of South Main and Ellis streets, and in the fourth ward at the corner of East Main and Elm streets, East and Dwight and Stanley and Church.
 There will be three groups of speak CTS. the first being Mayor J. M. Hal- lora.n, Lawyer F. F. McDonough, E. B. filling and w. F. Troy, candidate for tax collector; William F. Delaney, Richard Schaefer. William J. Farley and Public Work Commissioner John Kelly in the second group, and P. K. King. Selectman c. P. Wainwright, P. c. Mcintyre and Henry F. Roche in the third group.
 There will also be street rallies in the fifth and sixth wards John F. Calla- han, James F. Degnan and J. J. Riley, candidates for the council, will speak in the fifth ward, and Senator J. M. Brady, Registrar T. J. Smith, Alder man M. T. rKerwin, Councilman Thomas J.. Coyle, A. M Paonessa and F. L. Conlon in the sixth.

PURPLE CROSS SOCIETY
APPROVED BY WILSON
Care of Horses Wounded in War to
Be Practiced on European
Battlefelds.

President Wilson has given his ap-
prevail to the movement to have the
Geneva convention, under which the
Red Cross societies operate. extended
to provide care for the horses in war.
This sanction was expressed to Sen
ator II. L. Myers of Montana and Rev
DIR. c. Ernest Smith, rector of St.
Thomas Protestant Episcopal Church,
who had audience at the White House,
in which they explained the aims of
the recently organized Purple Cross
Service for Horses on the Battlefield,
which has been taken up with enthu-
siasm throughout the European war
fields.
They told him injured horses We're al
lowed to lie on the battlefields of Eu-
rope without care, and that there was
great need for veterinary ambulance
corps to treat those slightly hurt and
end the suffering of animals beyond
recovery.
Earnest workers in the cause are
Lady French. wife Of the famous gen
eral, and her daughter. The Earl of
Duchan is president of the organiza-
ton. The French government has pub
lished an official circular urging that
in the care of humans throughout the
war zone the horses be not neglected.
The Presidents approval at once was
cabled to the European headquarters.
The proposed extension Of the conven-
ton of Geneva is to be discussed at
to be held there this month.

prisoner, while docile at first, later be-
came refractory, the superintendent
said, and went on a hunger strike"
For several days he refused food, and
on April 20 the physicians decided on
forced feeding" When they attempt
ed to compel him to eat the prisoner
fought viciously, Mr.. Zinkhan testified,
and threatened to kill all hands. 1t

about $1,000.

WILL TRY TO ESCAPE
FROM TORTURE RACK
Houdini Accepts Challenge of For
mer POLICE Officer Joseph
A. Martin. :

Joseph A. Martin Of 1909 18th street
northwest a former member of the
police force of the District OF Column
bia, today sent to Houdini, the Wizard
of Escapes" appearing at the B. F.
Keith Theater, what the latter char
acterizes as the most remarkable chal-
lenge received by him in recent years.
Mr.. Martin challenges Houdini to lib
crate himself from what he calls the
Mohammedan torture rack. The instru-
ment has been in the possession of Mr..
Martin for a number of years, and has
been examined by hundreds Of local
mechanics, and dozens of men have
tried to escape from the rack. it Is
said, to no avail
The Mohammedan torture rack is de-
scribed as a stout oak frame surround
ed with sharp steel spears, numbering
in all fourteen. There is one under
each arm and against each hip. Also
one against the front and back Of each
thigh. The hands are locked at the
top of the oak frame in iron clasps.
The neck is locked to the bottom of the
frame after chain has been placed
around the neck and down the back to
a cleated staple in the floor OF the rack.
The feet are shackled and drawn down
to the same cleated staple. holding the
faStenfngs OF the neck. Houdfni has
accepted the challenge and will try to
get out of the rack this evening. 1t is
now on exhibition in the lobby of the
theater.
The challenge Of a committee Of
sailors for Houdini to get out of a
"sea bag" used in ancient times for
sailors, resulted in the Wiz
ard of Escape" making a record for
this kind of a Liberation. He was
placed in the bag at 4:31 o'clock. At
4:37 o'clock he started to get out in
full view of the audience, and seven
minutes later he stood before the pub
lie and the sailors free of bonds.

ing an expense not reimbursable to
