THREE CROSS ATLANTIC
IN SMALL TUG BOAT

London, Nov. 13.-"One of the
most extraordinary voyages ever
made across the Atlantic has just
been completed by the Vigilant,
small American tug belonging to
New York and bound from st. Johns
N. F., for Cardiff. Two days out
from st. Johns, which she left a
week ago last Sunday, the Vigilant
experienced terrific weather and
the fifth day sent out S. o. S. calls,
the captain fearing she would foun-
der. The Holland-American liner
Ryndam picked up the signals and
proceeded to her assistance. The
captain and twelve of the tugs crew
were taken off by the Ryndam,
which was bound for Rotterdam,
but three of the men refused to
leave.
Taking control of the ship, the
three men overcame tremendous
difficulties and actually succeeded
in bringing her within sight of the
Irish coast where they were picked
up by British patrol vessel. Fer
gusin was locked in the wheel house
and the other two in the engine
room. The terrible weather prevent
ed their moving and they remained
at their posts for fifty hours, with
ont food. water or sleep.

Won Mackensen is Retreating with

BRITISH MAKE AN ADVANCE
Teutons Are Being Beaten Back in
East by Strong Russian Army
While British Smash on
West Front

London, Nov 1.-THE Russians
have crossed the Danube into Do
brudja at two points south of Tch-
ernavoda and the Russian fleet has
renewed the bombardment of Con-
stanza, according to Petrograd ad-
vices received today by wireless by
way of Rome.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen is
reported continuing his retreat with
demoralized forces and with one
third of his effectives lost.
Bucharest, Nov. 14.-According
to last nights dispatches General
Mackensens army, or at least the
bulk of it, was north of the Tch-
ernayoda-Constance railroad. If
this is the case, and the Russians
who have crossed the Danube south
of Tchernavoda are in force, the
German-Bulgar army is in great
danger. In fact, IL the situation is
as indicated, there is a possibility
of the capture or humiliation of
the whole Teutonic army.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. ID
The official count Of California e
vote in the presidential election be-
gan today and steps have been TAX
en- not only to expedite the enumer-
alton but also to assure its accu-
racy. Both the Democratic and Re-
publican state central committees
have engaged checkers and attor-
neys to scrutinze the count of each
tally sheet
The Republican state central
committee was busy getting in fig
ures on the individual votes of all
electors in the belief, it was an
nounced, that at least some of the
Republican electors might be found
to have enough votes to qualify
for the electoral college.
With seventeen isolated precincts
still unreported, the vote stood
Hughes 462,S2S, Wilson 466,1O6.
The missing votes, it was generally
believed, will not materially change
President Wilson's plurality of
1918.

U. S. Ship Compelled by U-Boat to
Lie to Until Storm subsidized
CREW ORDERED TO THE BOATS
American Steamer, Met in Storm by
German Submarine Was Held
Up Until Storm subsidized
and Then Torpedoed

Paris, Nov. ia wireless dis
patch from Madrid says that it was
a German submarine which sank
the American steamship Columbian.
According to this information,
the Columbian encountered the sub
marine on November 6, during
violent tempest. The submarine
compelled the Columbian to lie to
under surveillance until November
8. When the storm subsidized, the
dispatch says, the submarine or
dered the crew to abandon the ship,
and then sank her.
A Havas dispatch from Madrid
quotes the newspapers of Corunna.
Spain, where the crew is reported
to have landed, to the effect that
when the Columb ian was held up
the submarine ordered the crew to
disembark but that the storm was
so severe that this was impossible,
until two days later.
The dispatch also says that the
Norwegian steamships BALTIC and
Fordalen were destroyed in the
same manner on November 3. A
report of the sinking OF these
steamships was received from Lon
don last night.

Brotherhoods and Officials Can't
Agree on Application of Law
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND 1T
Strike Order Still in Force and I'm
less Agreement is Reached
BrotherhoOds May Walk
Out

New York, Nov. 1.-THE confer
ence between the heads of the rail-
road brotherhoods and the railroad
managers to reach an agreement on
the application and operation of the
Adamson eight-hour law adjourned
late yesterday without any conclu-
sion being reached No date was
set for another conference but it
was intimated that one probably
would be held in day or two.
Danger of a nationwide railroad
strike which was believed to have
been ayerted by the passage of the
Adamson eight-hour law, has not
entirely disappeared here, when
representatives of the railroads and
four brotherhoods, comprising 400
600 employees, failed to reach an
agreement as to the proper appli-
cation of the new law. The stumb-
ling block, both sides admitted was
the existing mileage system of com
pensation.
William G. Lee, president of the
of Railway Trainmen,
spokesman for the employees in the
absence of A. B. Garretson, of the
Order of Railway Conductors, de-
elared in a statement that in the
event of evasion by the railroads of
he Adamson law, summary action
would be taken by the brotherhoods.
He said that the strike order, which
was directly responsible for the
aw, was still in effect and the
)rotherhoods would not hesitate to
enforce it if the occasion warranted
t.
Frankly" said Chairman Elisha
zee, the trouble lies in the fact
hat neither the railroads nor the
nen know definitely how the law
hould be applied.
I'VE have Our own ideas as to
ow the law shall be applied-if at
IL, as suits to test it's validity are
ow pending; while the brother +
GODS have their own ideas"

REPUBLICANS HAVE 217
VOTES IN HOUSE NOW

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Repub-
licans will have PIT votes in the
next congress- according to the lat
est returns available This is an in
crease of one in the total Republi-
can membership previously report
ed. A change is based on reports
from the Sixth New Jersey district,
showing the election of John II.
Ramsey, Republican, by a plurality
of about 1900 over Robert Seats,
Democrat 1t does not take into
account a probable contest in the
North Carolina district, the Third
New Jersey district, where Joseph
Scully, Democrat, claims to have
been elected by plurality of 14l
votes; or the Eleventh Iowa or
Third Louisiana districts, where the
pluralities are so small that re-
counts are considered possible. The |
election OF Mr. Ramsey from New |
Jersey with the consequent loss of |
one Democrat from that state, leaves
the Democratic membership of the
house at PIP, as indicated by re-
turns thus far received.
All other parties have elected six
members. On the face of present
figures the Republicans fall one
short of the 21S votes necessary for
a working majority.

Ran Far Ahead of the
Democrats

Topeka, Nov. 1.-THE ReDubli-
can state ticket in Kansas has poll
ed on an average about 1882, 600
votes, and the average pluraities OF
the newly elected Republican state
officials will run close to 10000,
according to practically complete,
although unofficial. reports from
ninety-one counties. Governor Cap
per, running for reelection with on
ly a few scattering precincts miss

of 157,088 in the f05 counties
Woodrow Wilson's plurality for
president in the state, with the
same precincts missing as i'll the
gubernatOrial contest is 35,028,
which the official count and absent
vote is expected to swell to $4,000
or $1,000.
The Republican candidates for
state office, on two of whom com
plete, although unofficial returns
have been compiled from nlnety-one
counties appear to be running sew
eral thousand votes ahead of Char
les Evans Hughes, the Republican
candidate for president.

W. Y. Morgan, Republican, for lieu

votes; Tom Botkin, Republican for
secretary of state, 24O,G54 votes; i
Elizabeth Grandle, Democrat, 167,-

on the state ticket are reported to
be running about the same as Tom
Botkin, with w. d. Ross, state SUI
perintendent of public instruction,
Morgan and Botkin probably run
ming close for high places on the
ticket.
Based on the vote for secretary
of state, the usual basis for COM

Wilson is running about $4,000 g,
