VICTORY RESTED WITH PAT

An Irish jockey was called as a wit

What are your he began in q
bullying tone.
Sure, I'm jockey, same as my

"Ah!" said the barrister. thrusting

witness, "and l suppose your father
did little cheating in his time, like
the rest of the fraternity?'
"Troth, and l suppose he did now

And where do you suppose he is
now?"

And what should such fellows as
jockeys do there, should like TO

voice of thunder.
Paddy scratched his head. Then,
with sly grin, he replied
Train bosses for the angels, per

Maybe SO" replied the Jockey, still
unabashed.

Stanley Wins in Kentucky
by Majority of About 1000
Over Republican Opponent

LOUISVILLE, KY, November 4.-Un-
official but apparently reliable tabufa-
ton today of the gubernatorial vote in
Kentucky Tuesday gives A o. Stanley,
democrat, an indicated majority of
2.0S1 over Edwin p. Morrow. repub-
lican. A few precincts are missing,
but it was stated their normal vote
could not materially change the result.
AS additional returns became avail
able, Stanley's apparent lead of yester-
day was cut from approximately 5000
to 1000. and then to slightly over 1000.
around which figure it seemed likely
today 1t would stand.
Meanwhile irreconcilable claims of
victory continue to be made at the
headquarters of both candidates.
The majority of Gov. James B. Nc
Creary in 1911 over his republican OPP
ponent was 31.335.i

All HO LOCATED BY U. S.
Two Years Required to Find Widow
Who Gets Naval Painters Pay.

1t required two y-ars to locate All
Ho. widow of Hong Kai. painter, third
class, United States Navy, who died
September ID, 1913. from burns received
in the explosion on board the U. S. S.
Helena.
All Ho, in the designation of bene-
ficiary made out by Hong Kai, was
stated to be his wife and living at
Tung La, Canton. China. The vice con-
sui general at Canton failed to receive
reply to communications sent to her
at the address given, and asked that
the Chinese shipmates of Hong kai
give the address in Chinese characters.
The commander of the Helena located
All Ho at Shanghai. An affidavit of a
Chinese cook on board the L. S. S. Pam
panga supported her application for the
pay due her as widow, S196.56.
While the acting controller of the
Treasury. Charles Marshall Force, con-
sidered that the record would have

she is the widow of Hong Kai, and au-

Wanderlusters and the Sabbath.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Editor of The star
AS the recent excursion of the wan
derlusters to Antietam Sunday, Octo-
Der 81, has given rise to some adverse
criticism of the wander1usters Sunday
outings, l would like to say to those
VINO have not taken the time or the
trouble properly to inform themselves
in the matter that this has been the
only all-day Sunday affair participated
in by the mixers the present year. Be-
ing a devotee of walking, and one who
has derived much happiness and benefit
from association with the wanderlust-
ers in many of their most enjoyable
trips, 1 feel that it is my duty to in
form the uniniti3ted that the wander
lusters are as God-fearing, law-abid-
ing citizens as you would find in any
community. and those who have been
of their number or have followed The
Star in it's championship of such a
splendid, health-giving, happiness
making community endeavor will bear
me out that it is not an idle, self
seeking, sordid enterprise, but an hon
est endeavor to get people back to ma
ture to learn at first hand of her re-
vital1Zing effects.
Indeed. our most prominent leaders
have been those interested in reli-
gious and social work, and the walks
nave Deen SO planned as not TO inter-
fere with ones attendance upon reli-
gious duties.
Unfortunately there were two trips
last year and this one to Antietam of
the present year which did not allow
of the usual attendance at church, and
this transgression has caused some
good people to look with disfavor upon
all the pleasant outings of the wan
derlusters. Those folks are privileged
to think as they please and set us down
as Sabbath breakers, but, in the opin-
ion of one who attends divine service
regularly and believes firmly in follow
ing in the footsteps of the Master the
trip to Antietam was a blessed pill
grimage, and those who came to scott
would assuredly have remained to
pray, when, after a beautiful day in
the open. where kindness and good
nature prevailed. We gathered at dusk
about campfire and sang with a will
those splendid old hymns such as
Nearer. My God, to Thee" and stand
Up, Stand Up for Jesus Surely there
in the grove God was worsfiped as truly
as in the temple. and spoke to His
children strongly of the glory and
valor of those who had gone before.

AMERICAN SHIPYARDS
WORKING FULL SPEED
Secretary Redfeld Says More Boats
Are Being Built Now Than
Ever Before.

American shipyards are working at full
speed. and the amount of work now be-
ing done in them is unprecedented, de-
clared Secretary Redfield this afternoon
He made public part of the report Of
the commissioner Of navigation to show
the large amount of work going on in
the American yards. In connection with
an interview accredited to William F.
McCombs. chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee, in which the latter was
quoted as saying no ships were being
built in American shipyards, Secretary
Redfield made the following statement:
Il have no comment to make on the
alleged interview with Mr. McCombs other
than to express the hope that he has
been unsupported.
Whatever the effects of the seaman's
law may or may not be it is a fact that
it cannot be denied that during the six
months prior to its going into operation
an increasing, and in the total an un-
precedented number of new ships, both
for foreign and domestic trade, have been
ordered from American shipbuilders, and
at the time the law takes effect there
are more ships being built in American
shipyards than ever before in the history
Of the country"
