WILSON CONTINUES To
GAIN, HERALD ADMITS
Republicans Are at StandStiIIl
Democrats Going Ahead,
Straw Vote Shows
Especial Dispatch to The Journal1

Especial Dispatch to The JournalD
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE New
York Heralds political poll. published
Sunday, says:
Copyrighted 1916, the New York Her
aid Co. All rights reserved.
Charles E. Hughes maintains a slen-
der lead in the race for the presidency.
President Wilson has made slight gains.
The margin of safety for the Republican
ticket has narrowed considerably since
the Herald's canvass started, but the
indications as shown by the 107, 40S
straw votes are that if an election were
held today the normal Republican
strongholds would roll up a plurality
just large enough to give Mr.. Hughes
majority in the electoral college.
THE changes during the last week
were more marked than the present
week. From all that can be cleaned
T at this time the Republicans are at a
standstill and President Wilson is go
ing ahead slowly. The race is a close
one. Nowhere is there a suggestion of
landslide or anything approaching it.
Conditions are such that it would be
hazardous now, with the straw vote
campaign incomplete, to make a definite
prediction. The states of New York, II
linois, Ohio and Indiana will beyond all
question decide the election. Any one
of them may.
THE \straw votes and the inquiries
made by correspondents for the Herald
indicate at this writing that Mr.. Hughes
has the better of the situation in New
York, Illinois and Indiana, and it is a
"toss-up" in Ohio. All the states men
toned are in doubt. Illinois, which was
presumed by the Republicans to be over
whelmingly Republican, and conceded
by the Democrats to be very likely to go
strongly for Hughes and Fairbanks, has
begun to waver.
THE women, so far as the straw vote
discloses, favor the president, because
of his peace program. The male element
of the electorate is in a large majority
for the Republican ticket, but the atti-
tude of the women voters, of whom
there are half million, inject dis
tinct note of uncertainty in the situa-
tion there.
New York perhaps enjoys the spot
light more than any other state. Con-
ditions there remain about the same
as last week. The president, from pres
ent straw vote indications, will have a
small plurality. In the total of 1O7, 400
votes taken to date Mr.. Hughes has a.
plurality over the president of 4,926."

Germans Deny Charge
Poisoned Sweets Were
Dropped By Aviators

BERLIN, Oct. 15.-(By Sayville.)-
"The British wireless service states
that German seaplanes which attecked
Constauza, Rumania, recently, dropped
with cholera bacilli," says the Overseas
News agency. THE shamelessness and
meanness of such statements can be
surpassed only by the credulity and stu
pidity which the British attribute to
their allies.
The statement referred TO by the
Overseas News agency evidently is an
official Russian announcement of Oc-
tober IL which said that aeroplanes
which attacked Constanza dropped pois-
oned sweets and garlic infected with
cholera bacilli.

MYSTERY In DEATH
TOMAH MAN FOUND LIFELESs
WITH RAZOR NEAR BODY.
Body in Alley in Rear of Restaurant
With Throat Slashed-Theory
of Suicide Is Secuted.

Tomah.-MysteTy surrounds the
death of William Larson, %, which
occurred here. Larson, who is the
son of a prominent contractor, left
a restaurant, asking to be excused
for few minutes. When he did not
return Immediately, search was in
stituted and his body was found in
an alley at the rear of the building.
His throat was cut and nearby lay
a razor. 1t was believed at first that
the wounds was self-infiicted, but his
brother Charles declares that the ra-
Zor did not belong to the dead man.
The authorities are baffled by the
case. They can ascribe no motive for
suicide, and no strangers have been
seen in town. Relatives and friends
declare that Larson had no enemies
so far as known.
The dead man was to have been
married to Miss Emma Edgerton.
whose father is proprietor of the res
taurant where he was at the time of
his death. Nothing to prevent the
marriage is known to exist.

Every window in the church was

THE Zeppelins!" was the cry among
the church people as they rushed into
the street. Soaring overhead were two
German seaplanes, less than two-thirds
of mile high, dropping bombs on the
town at intervals of few minutes. Be
fore the raiders turned back over the
channel they had killed two men and

EASTLAND MEN FREE
FEDERAL JUDGE ABSOLVES OWN.
Frs INDICTED FOR MURDER.
Rules Accused Need Not Leave Mich
igan-Asserts Charge of Con-
spiracy Not Proved.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 21.-Six
men charged by the government with
responsibility for the loss of more
than 500 lives in the Eastland disaster
do not have to go to Chicago to stand
trial.
This decision was handed down on
Friday by Federal Judge Clarence w.
Sessions, sitting as a commissioner
in the district court here. He denied
the governments application for a
warrant of removal for the defendants,
all of whom live in Michigan.
The finding Of the court means
practically that none of the defend
ants will ever be placed on trial by
the government. There is a possibil-
ity that if any of them journey into
other states than Michigan they may
be seized and another attempt at ex-
tradition made, but it is declared to
be a remote one.
The men, indicted here, who fought

company; George T. Arnold, general
manager; Harry Petersen, captain;
Joseph NJ Erickson, chief engineer,
and Robert Reid and Charles C. Eek
lift, federal inspectors.
Judge Sessions, in his opinion, said
the government had failed utterly in
all attempts to show conspiracy and
negligence.
In making his decision the judge
said:
The dead cannot be restored to
life. The sorrows of the living can
not be lessened by claiming other vic
tins. The majesty of the law cannot
be upheld and indicated by taking
men from their homes to stand trial
among strangers upon accusations
which there is barely a scintilla of
proof to sustain. The evidence in
this matter wholly fails to establish
the probable cause for believing any
of these defendants guilty of any
crime charged in the indictments"
