ADJUSTMENTS
At the Jefferson

Watch Your Step" a musical comedy produced by Charles Dillingham;, which registered successes of a sensational na
 ture in New York and London, will be offered for the first time in this city at the Jefferson Thursday, matinee and night.
 Every name associated with 'Watch our Step is one that has been made lliustrlous by successful achievements in some particular avenue of the entertain
 ment field Harry B. Smith wrote the book, Helen Dryden designed the cos
 tunes and scenery for the piece and Irving Berlin, Americas champion song
 writer, is responsible for the music and lyrics.
 Watch Your Step is far and away the best of it's kind that theatre-goers
 has been regaled with in many days.
 There are modishly attired show girls. spirited ponies, and a group of villagers reminiscent of Mother Goose at her best.
 These and other features combine to
 form background for the principals
 and never permits the proceedings to lag.

 Developments in the spot situation may have some bearing on the course of con- tract prices and, also, there may be in- formal tion of importance concerning the progress of ginning from private bureau sources.

 Will Fox and Harry Marks Stewart. comedians extraordinary, are the princi- pals and are surrounded by a capable supporting company, a bevy of pretty girls, special scenery and handsome cos tunes.

PARIS INTERESTED
IN ELECTION
RETURNS
French Public Follows with
Keen Intelligence Every
Late Dispatch

PARIS, Nov. 9.-The American cleo
ton is being followed with the deep
est interest, the news having the place
of honor in most morning papers. The
commentators. mindful of the dramatic
surprise of yesterday when the sup
posed certain Hughes victory was
turned into a possible defeat, are re-
luctant to commit themselves.
The majority of the comment is
similar to that of Stephen Pichon in
the Petit Journal, who expresses the
belief that the victory of either can
didate will have little effect on Amer
ican policy as far as the big questions
interesting France are concerned. II
is also pointed out that the present
administration will remain in power
in any event, until March 4 and that
many things may happen between now
and then.
The Matin remarks that while a vic
tory for Mr. Hughes might mean
more vigorous international policy. ii
would also mean a protectionist regime
The Matin comments that this change
while unimportant in time of wal
might be awkward for French business
interests on the return of peace.

CHINESE LEADER
MAY Be PRESIDENT
Chang Hsun Mentioned but He
has Many Opponents for
High Position

PEKING. Nov. General Chang
Hsun, the powerful leader who was
called to the military conference at
Hsuchowfu for the purpose of devils
ing means for preventing the parlia-
ment from depriving the military of its
power, is now prominently mentioned
as "A candidate for the vice presidency.
President Iii Yuan hung is reported to
be favorable to the election of General
Chang Hsun to the vice. presidency by
the parliament.
Many newspapers are antagonistie
to the elevation of Gen. Chang Hsun,
and say that his military conference at
Hsuchowfu was nothing but a seditious
movement and its promoters should be
punished. Gen. Chang Hsun would
probably not release his position as
military governor of Anhui province
We're he elected vice e-presdent, as the
vice presidency is regarded as a sine
cure which carries with it high honors
but little work. Furthermore, the re-
linquishment of military power would
probably mean the political downfall OF
Gen Hsun, who has been n dominant
figure in China for many years.

David Lubin Talks to Agents
At London and Views Are
Well Received

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Representatives
of 13 of the trans Atlantic steamship
lines, in meeting just held in London,
listened with great attention to argu-
ments in favor of the proposed inter-
national commerce commission by
David Lubin, of New York and Cali
fornia, who succeeded in getting
through congress resolutions endors-
ing the idea, which has for it's object
the steadying of prices of staples
through the fixing of freight rates on
ocean bulk traffic.
Mr.. Lubin has succeeded in interest
ing the big shipping men here in his
plan, among them being Walter Runci-
man, president of the board of trade,
who is a member of wealthy shipping
family. The meeting was called by
Sir Norman Hill, a great Liverpool
shipping magnate. Among the lines
represented were The American, Allen,
Atlantic Tranpsort, Associated Lines,
Canadian Pacific Cunard, Dominion,
Furness, Witty. Harrison, Leyland
White Star and Wilson.
Mr. Lubins address was followed by
questions from practically all attend
ing that revealed general interest in
the plan. To questioners who feared
the result of such strict control Of
the lines as to compel them to conform
to special rates, Mr.. Lubin pointed to
the benefits sustained by the railroads
| in the United States from the inter-
state commerce commissions rules.
Before the interstate commerce
commission came into being the price
of the leading American railway stocks
on your market here were as uncer-
tain as those of common wildcat
schemes offered to the public" he said.
But the stabilizing effect of the inter-
! state commerce commissions control
has, as you know of your own personal
knowledge, converted them into the
highest gilt-edged securities"

That's Outlook Now but Late
neturns May Change So As
To Give Republicans Gain

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-The Demo
Gratis, assured of control of the next
senate, may retain control of the house
by holding 10 seats in u congressional
districts to be heard from Early to-
day the division of members already
elected was as follows Democrats
210; Republicans, 200; Progressives,
two; Independent, one; Socialist, one
In the 21 districts not yet reported
are as follows, which are Democratic
in the present congress: Two each IL
Missouri and Indiana; three in Wes;
Virginia, and one each in Washington
Michigan and Pennsylvania. Eleven
of the missing districts are Repub-
lican, as follows: Two in Nebra ska
three in West Virginia, three in Wash
ington and one each in New Mexico
Ohio and Wyoming.
If these districts should hold to Their
present political status in the returns
yet to come, the Democrats would have

KOREA RECOVERING
TRADE LOST
BY WAR
Exports Are Coming Up BY
Big Margins; Statistics
Show Gain Everywhere

SEOUL, Korea, Nov. 9.-Official in
vestigation shows that Korea has
gradually recovered from the blow
dealt her trade by the European wal
last year. The export of cow hides
shows great increase, due to the
large demand for them by Japan to
meet the large order for army boots
from Russia. In Korea, some 100000
yen worth of boots and ammunition
pouches were exported to Russia.
Partly as material for the chemical
industry that has developed in Japan
to reach markets monopolized by Ger
many, and partly to meet the general
demand in the market owing to the
shortage of stock, the export from
Korea of rice, linseed, tallow, cotton,
alum, gold ore, coal and dye stuffs
greatly increased.
A decrease was generally seen III
articles imported from Europe, a re-
markable falling off being witnessed III
the figures for wheat flour, condensed
milk, salted herring, alcohol, aniline
dye stuffs, iron and dynamite. I'M
ports from the mother country, how
ever. Increased and Japanese goods
took the place of foreign articles
especially wheat flour, petroleum, iron
nails and plate glass.
The deuction is that Korea will more
and more depend on Japan for her
necessities.

One OF Democratic Electors Is
Dead and Votes Cast for Him

NEW YORK Nov. 9.-Chairman Me-
Cormick said today he would investi
gate reports received at democratic
headquarters that the Republicans in

name of E. NJ. Connor. the Democratic
elector who was substituted for A.
Stream, the dead elector did not ap-
pear on the ballot in many counties
and it was stated that, therefore, the
votes cast for Stream might be valid

one Republican elector.
I'VE will investigate the matter :
said Chairman Mccormick, "but even
If we are forced to concedc the vote
