 at Executive Offices.

Car Plunged Through Draw Into Fort Point Channel, Just Outside the South Side Terminal Motorman n Declares There Were, No Lights on the Gates-TWeIve Persons Were Rescued by Fire Boats and Tugs.

Boston, Nov. 7.-The lives of from thirty to fifty persons were lost to- night when a crowded passenger car of the Boston Elevated Street Railway plunged through an open drawbridge into Fort Point Channel just outside the South Station terminal.
 Bodies Pinned in the Car.
 Twelve other persons were rescued from the water by fire boats and tugs. One man, Thomas J. Cannon. died af- ter being brought to shore. Two bod ies were found with grappling irons but the recovery of other bodies was delayed, as it was believed they were pinned in the car which rested on the bottom of the channel, 35 feet deep.
 Motorman Jumped.
 Gerald Walsh, motorman of the car, who jumped before it went over the edge of the draw, asserted that the ac- cident was due to the fact that there was no light on the gates protecting the opening. He and George McKeon, the conductor, who also leaped and so saved his life, were arrested on technical charges of manslaughter. The conductor was unconscious and the police were unable to learn exact ly the number of his passengers.
 Forty Persons Unaceounted For.
 Some of the rescued people esti- mated the number Of passengers at upwards of fifty. J. Harvey White, publicity agent of the Boston Elevated Railroad, in a statement issued soon after the accident, said his informa- tion agreed with that of the police that about forty persons were unac- counted for.
 Shortly before midnight 30 bodies had been removed from the car and the divers reported that there were others that had not been brought to the sur face.

PLURALITY OF 100000
 FOR HUGHES IN ILLINOIS
Early Returns Show He Ran Ahead
 of His Ticket.

Chicago, Nov. 1.--Returns received up to 9.15 o'clock tonight indicated a republican victory in Illinois by a plurality estimated by tine republicans at more than 100000 for Hughes and slightly smaller piuralities for the re- publican state ticket, headed by Frank o. Lowdeh for governor.
 Estimates based on returns up to that hour indicated a plurality for Hughes in the state outside of Chicago of more than 100000, while Hughes was leading slightly on incomplete Chicago returns. The race in Chi cago, however, was close.
 Lowden was opposed by Governor Edward F. Dupne, democrat, who was up for reelection.
 Women who voted for the first time in Illinois on the presidential issue maintained about the same ratio of preference for Hughes or Wilson as the men.

whether they were ready to proceed
with the paving or not.
