as State Labor Commissioner.
As is well known, and always un-
derstood, there is friction in the ranks
Of the men belonging to the several
labor bodies. Mr.. Doherty has been in
office for some time, and just now he
is being opposed by a faction which Is
supporting Howard T. Colvin.
The recent sessions of the State
Federation Of Labor at FredericKs

eral bearing on the subject. The
anti-Doherty forces made a protest
against Mr.. Doherty, it being COM

Of the labor folks. and also that the
chief clerk, in the office. Captain
Charles NJ. Wallace, was not the pos

LONDON DARE AS PITCH.
New Lighting Regulations Makes il
Easy to get Lost.

London, Oct. 14.-London's new
lighting regulations are in force, and
a city of blinded windows. screened
skylights, shrouded street lamps and
generally subdued and smothered ap-
pearance has taken on an even darker
hue Londoners have grown accustom-
ed to this funereal aspect of the city.
but it is none the less strange and dis
ouieting to the foreigner. In vain
one looks for the blaze of light which
used to food Piccadilly Circus and the
Leicester Square, ana unless he is an
adept in finding his way around the
city at night he is likely to become
lost in an obscurity as complete and
batting as that Of the traditional Lon
don fog.
Well-known streets have lost their
principal features and become merged
into sort of negative resemblance
to all other streets. They begin and
end in darkness. and their fantastic
aspect is increased by dim statues and
monuments and once familiar arcades
The appearance Of the buses with
red lights under the stairs, shining on
the passengers as they pass in and
out. l.; another detail which makes
the scene weird and unreal.

States more white women than there
are colored men and wone.l together.

would vote and the white women
would not.

exactly the opposite, judging from our
