DOWN TEN WAY

Stories emanating from Texas to the effect that President Wilson would be sCundIy rebuIzed there for his Mexican policy have been found to be somewhat like those reports from NO2ales that every Connecticut man III the National guard will cast his vote for Hughes. Tn the first instance 1t looked as if there might be some truth to the assertions; but time as ever, proved that truth will triumph in the long run. Former Governor COlquitt was the man about whom all the storm centered. He made an attempt to unseat United states Sen atOr CulbersOn. To do this he sailed the Wilson administration as only a Texan can when he goes on the War-path. The erstwhile gover- nor did everything in his power to gather every vote that was against Wilson. He came out flat-footed for the German American alliance He wrote letters disappearing everything Mr Wilson did in the controversy with
 
 the White House right and left, with out rhyme or reason. He sought Republican support, and got it. All those things he champiOned that MT Wilson denOu4ced, in the hope that the enemies of Wilson would rise in their might and put in the United States senate the real man of the hour.
 In the earlier returns from the Texas primaries it looked as if the Hon. MT. ColQuitt would win out, would administer a severe rebuke to President Wilson. The German Americans, the Republicans, all the enemies of the man in the White House were preparing their hest smiles There was to be great rejoicing and festivities among the elect The ad- miristratiOn was to be shown the drift of the tide. After fight that showed the true principles of the great campaign now going on Texas was to take the place of Maine and show the people of the nation which way to vote in November. That i was the schedule, but the laughter ! has died away before it got fair i chance. The joy was short-lived. l MT. Colquitt is beaten by Senator ] Culberson who represents the admin istration. The final vote shows an overwhelming majority of 50,OO0 for the Senator. Transporting the for | mer Texas governors name it is at i once seen his victory "quit cold,' and MT. Colquitt will not have his seat in i the United States Senate nor his re- i buSe to the President of the United ! States.

CRA|OVA CAPTURED RUMAN|ANS FORGED
 ID START RETREAT
[RepubIlean A. p. Leased Wirel

BERLIN. Nov. 21.-(By Wireless to Sayviile) )-The capture of Craiova in western Wallachia by German troops was announced by the war office in an official statement this evening. Re- garding the fighting in northern France the evening statement reported thick fog in the Somme district with a lessening of activities along this front.
 The capture by General von Falk- enhayan's forces of the town of Crai- ova apparently clinched the Austro- German hold upon a large section of western Wallachia. and probably means the putting off of important Rumanan forces from their line of re- treat by railroad.
 Craiova lies on the main line be- tween 0rsova and Bucharest, about 120 miles west of the capital. The Rumanan army. retreating in the Jiul valley, was falling back toward this town and was reported in the Petro- grad official statement of Tuesday to have reached the region of Filiash, about 40 miles northwest of Craiova. If, General von Falkenhayn's troops have beaten it to Craiova, which is probable. it's railway line of retreat thus is severed Likewise, it would appear that the Rumanian force which had been operating in the Orsova re- zion, was seriously imperilled, if not cut off by this new Teutonic success. i Craiova. before the war, had a pop ulation of nearly 50,000. and was an active center of Rumanian trade.

The death of Francis Joseph is a re-
 markable climax to the long list of
 tragedies in the Hapsburg family-a
 list unparalleled in any other reigning
 house in Europe. He dies in the midst
 of the worlds greatest war. which he l himself largely brought about by his determination to avenge the act of as

 state visit to Bosnia on June 2S. 1914. Francis Joseph was S6 years old at the time of his death. He was born August IS, 1880.

 first twenty of which he was also Apostle King of Hungary. It is doubt
 full that if in all history there has been an active, authenticated reign that was longer. But in recorded history there
 certainly has been no reign of equal l duration to that of Francis Joseph. Louis XIV, of France, was nominally king for seventy-two years.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-Definite infor- nation to support rumors that produce dealers are permitting fruits and veg etables to rot i'm the fields in order to cause a shortage and increase prices, came to the government officials, who are investigating the causes of the present high price of food today.
 B. L. Brundage. a farmer of Gary, Ind. reported that he had sold his crop of seven acres of pumpkins for cash. When the crop ripened and the pump kns were allowed to rot in the field. he tried to find the buyer and learned that the name and address he had been given were fictitious.

BALTIMORE. Nov 2l.-Efforts to effect an utilization between the American Federation of labor and the Railway brotherhoods. received a de- cided impetus today when the federa- ton convention here enthusiastically received speeches by the four repre- senatives of the brotherhoods and President Gompers. of the federation, favoring such action
 Leaders of the organizations tonight were preparing to inaugurate a joint fight for better working conditions, particularly for railway workers of all classes and against all compulsory ar duration measures inst as though an official utilization had been perfected.
 Both sides entertain high hope that they will be able to gain much during the coming session of congress and in preventing the breaking down of pres ent favorable laoor laws, by presenting q united front. They believe, too. that official affiliation only awaits certain formal steps to be taken by the brotherhoods at their next con vention, to be held some time next year.
 Other than to say that they would oppose all sorts of compulsory aroi- tration bills in congress, the speakers were rather indefinite today as to what they expected to do for the great mass of railway workers. Fed eration leaders, however. said the pri- mary object of the proposed affifia-

 Attorneys for the Pennsylvania, New York Central and Burlington roads conferred with Attorney General Gregory and Solicitor General Davis tonight, and it was understood the question was discussed of making Q test case of one of the suits with a view to bringing the law before the supreme court as soon as possible.
 Though department officials were reticent about the conference it is be- lieved further negotiations will be un- dertaken tomorrow and that there Is prospects of an agreement which would put the issue on one case. If this course is adopted, both the de- partment and the railroads will make every effort to expedite the case they may select for tue test.

 WASHINGTON. Nov 2l.-Light on the high and growing cost of living was given the house naval committee today by Rear Admiral Frederick R. Harris. chief of the bureau of yards and docks. Explaining his estimates for the fiscal year 19lS Admiral Harris said increasing prices of material and labor were rendering the huge navy building program on which the coun try has embarked doubly expensive.
 Submitting an estimate Of s2O00 900 for shore station maintenance, as against sl. 500. 900 last year. he warned the committee that the actual sum needed would be nearly S3.000.00 which would buy no more than $l,S00,- 900 did year ago.
