Victory in Massachuse It's
Hailed as Republican
Presidential Hint.
NATIONAL ISSUES
SEEN AS CAUSE
Bennet's Triumph Taken as Re-
buke to WilsOn-ROOt Still in
Race, Says McCombs.

Indications Of a distinct trend 20
the Republican party were seen as the
result Of Tuesdays election By former
President Taft and Charles D. Hilles.
chairman Of the Republican National
Committee, yesterday. Mr.. Taft re-
garded the election OF Mr.. Mccall az
Governor Of Massachusetts, as signif-
cant Of the probability Of Republican
victory in 1916. The fact that the Pro-
gressive party was disappearing in
Massachusetts added to this probabil-
ity, he believed. Mr.. Taft was dis
appointed at the defeat Of the consti-
tuition in this state.
Mr.. Hilles declared that the results
Of tho election must be anything but
gratifying to the national administra-
ton. He cited the election Of Mr.
Mccall In Massachusetts, and that Of
Mr.. Bennett In the 23d Now York Con-
gress District as indicating that
where national issues were involved
the results favored tho Republicans
Both these contests were fought on
national lines.
William F. McCombs, chairman OF
the Democratic National Committee
also Joined in the discussion Of Tues
days results to the extent of saying
that he did not believe that Mr.. Roo,
was eliminated as a Republican Presi.
Dental possibility by the defeat of the
constitution. Mr.. McCombs also
praised Governor-elect Mccall. He said
that the large majority the Democrats
got In this city was due TO the intact
ness of the organization.
Election Pleases Taft.
81 am very much pleased with the
election of Mr. Mccall" Mr.. Taft said
at is very significant. Mr.. Mccall had
some local distractions to overcome
that only those who were intimately
cognizant Of the conditions could I'M
derstand. The fact that the Progress
sive party is disappearing in Massa-
chusetts practically, and that the Re-
publican ticket Is elected, is very sig
nificant to me of the probability Of
Republican victory In 1915.

WIFE AND CHILDREN
STARVING IN FLAT
Husband Begged on Street as
Family, Furniture Gone, Lay
Sleeping on Floor.

A story of better days, OF reverses
that necessitated the selling OF the en-
tire furniture OF a home, and of a
mother and children starving while the
father begged on the street, came out
last night with the arrest Of James
White.
Detective McCahill Of the Mendicancy
Squad, saw White at l25th Street and
Third Avenue last night, asking pas
sersbv for aims. He took him TO the
mems court, where Magistrate House
was sitting. There he asked the court
TO investigate Whites story that he
begged only to obtain money to keep
his family from starving. The inquiry
showed facts more startling than those
recitcd in court.
William Lonergan, representing the
Catholic Protective Society. volunteered
to 20 TO the White home. When he
knocked at the fiat at 1880 Second Az
cnue, he received no response. lie OPP
ened the door and saw upon the floor
without heat and covering, Mrs. White
and her two children, one and three
years old.
The children had no clothing. and
Mrs. White-soon to become mother
had eaten nothing for several days. No
furniture at all was in the rooms; all
had been sold 10 buy food.
Lonergan told Magistrate House what
he had found after he had sent a
neighbor to a grocery and bakery for
provisions.
Within half an hour food was cooking
on stove in another fiat, and soon
the family had supper. Father Thomas
J. Lynch agreed to send furniture TO
the house, and Mrs. White will receive
care until her child is born. Lonergan
has promised to see that the children
are looked after.
When Magistrate House heard the
recital Of Lonergan's trip he adjourned
Whites case until tomorrow.

critical turn in the turbulent situation between AIexicans and Americans on the lower Texas border was evident today as the result of yesterdays raid by Mexicans on the village of Pro- gresso and the casualties sustained by an American army detachment which finally routed the invaders. All of the Mexicans, probably so in mum Der, were said today to have escaped into Mexico, but strong army patrols occupied every foot of the Rio Grande bank to prevent repetition of the raid.
 The escape of the Mexican raiders was regarded as one of the gravest features of yesterdays battle. When the American soldiers pursued the marauders to ~the~Fiver bank, 1t was reported by Major Edward Anderson of the 18th cavalry, they were met by a brisk fire from the Mexican side, where apparently several hundred Mexicans were concealed. It also was reported that a number of the raid CTS wore khaki uniforms but whether they were connected with the Car ranza garrisons which hold the Vari- ous border towns opposite Progresso and Brownsville could not be learned
 Captain A. V. P. Anderson, of the I2th cavalry and Private Cecil W Kennedy, who were wounded yester- day were reported today to- be in no danger The body of Private Henry w. StubbIeheld, who was killed by the Mexicans, is. being held for relatives.
