Jury Acquits After Being
out only Thirty
Minutes.

The evidence in the case of T. j.
Taylor, charged with killing Claud
Knight, in this city, Jan. 1, was con-
cluded Teusday morning. Taylor
told his own story on the stand. He
said that Knight had enticed his wife
away from him on more than one ocss
casion, at one time going to Illinois
and finally returning to the Viewers
Store neighborhood, where they re
sided. He also said Knight had threat
ened to kill him. He said he went tC
Lee &c Harper's saloon on the night Of
Jan. /, and as he started out met
Knight coming in. He he said he had
brooded over his troubles and seeing
the man who had caused them he
drew his pistol and shot him.
The case turns upon the ''unwrit-
ten law" as applicable to a ruined
home.
Judge Bush was an attorney in the
case and vacated the bench and Judge
T. P. Cook presided. The defense
was conducted by Southall G. Son and

The shortage in the Republican col
umn is due to the absence of many
colored voters in the northern states.
Hundreds left here, but a majority of
them were from the suburbs and
other precincts outside Of the city
where there is no registration to dis
close their absence.
Upon the whole the registration is
very gratifying to the Democrats.
Their vote is registered fuller than
the Republicans and less than 30
Democrats have registered as indie
pendents. The vote in the city last
year showed that many Democrats
voted all or a part of the Republican
ticket. The registration indicates
that these will return to the party
this year.

Mackensen Orders Evacuation

RAINY SEASON SETS In
Hampering The Advance Of
The Allies on Western
Front.

London, Oct. q. Although the Ru-
manians continue to gain ground
against the Austro-Germans at various
points in Pennsylvania, the situation
in Dobrudia, which has attained added
interests since the crossing of the
Danube into Bulgaria by Rumanian
forces remains uncertain.
Bucharest says that violent fighting
continues all along the line south of
the railroad running from Constanza
to the Danube with the Teutonic
allies offering stubborn resistance to
the Rumanian and Russian forces.
Nothing is said, however, concerning
the troops which invaded Bulgaria.
An official dispatch from Rome as
serts that Field Marshal Won Macken-
sen has ordered the evacuation of the
Dobrudia fortress of Silistria and
Turtukai, recently captured by the
Teutonic allies in the fear of their be-
ing envoloped by the Rumanians.
Heavy rains are interfering with
the activities OF the British and French
armies in the Somme region ofFrance
but nevertheless Paris records the
capture Of an important trench north
Of Rancourt and the taking of addi-
tional prisoners, while London says
the fighting at Eaucourt lAbbaye is
proceeding satisfactorily"
! Violent fighting has been in pro-
gresS in Russia west of LutSk and in
Galicia in the region of the ZIota Lipa
river.
AS regards the fighting in Mace
dunia, Sofa admits that the heavy
artillery FIRE of the Serbs in the region
of Kaimakcalan height caused the
Bulgarians to withdraw to the Mog-
lencia valley in order to avoid unnec-
essary losses but assert that entente
attacks elsewhere along the front
were repulsed.

An Artful Dodger.

When Candidate Hughes is corn
cred by questions he pretends that
he does not hear them or makes
equivocal reply. While he was
speaking at Toledo. Ohio, the other
night he was heckled by the audience
and among the the questions hurled
at him was "What about the Danbury
Hatters' case?" He said afterwards
he did not hear it, but appeared to
maintain his silence when told OF It.
This case was tina. in which the SUI
preme court, with Justice Hughes
sitting, required the unions which
boycotted the manufacturers to pay
them large damages because of it
Hon. Richard Olney, secretary OF

Mr.. Hughes criticism of the eight hour
law, wrote and asked him why II he
opposed il and knew that il was I'M
constitutional he had not advised his
party members in.the senate to kill it
by fillibustering. He answered that
he did not believe in defeating legis-
ation that way, very lame excuse
since Mr.. Hughes party believes IN
any means necessary to accomplish
their ends, and the stream is no high
er than its source. The fact is the
further Mr.. Hughes goes the worse
he gets and the more disappointing
he becomes. For his reputation and
supposed ability Mr.. Hughes has
made the sorriest spectacle OF him
self that candidate Of a party ever
did and the people as well as leaders
of his own party are disguised with
him. II would have been thousands
of voters to his credit if he had con-
. tinued to maintain the silence after
Z his nomination that he observed be-
fore. He would then have been re-
garded as great man whereas he
