the dead lay in piles beside the tracks.
The passenger train. conveyed by

When He Reaches Capital.

Washington. President Wilson
came back to Washington Sunday
night, ready to take up public prob
lens and begin framing plans for his
second term In the White House. He
had been away two months.
A cheering crowd packed the :ail-

drizZle of rain to welcome the presi-
dent. AS he appeared walking down
the station platform, accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson and fianked by secret SER
vice men. hundreds began shouting
and rushed forward ir effortS to shake
his hands.
Mr.. Wilson walked through the sta

ARABIA ASSERTS INDEPENDENCE.
World Notified That People Have De.
cided to Throw OF Turkish Yoke.

Washington Of the new
kingdom of Arabia, with Grand Sher.
eef Hussein Ben Ali as monarch and
Mecca as the capital, was reported to
the state department Saturday in an
undated telegram from Mecca signed
by Shereef Abdullah, minister of for
eign affairs The Arabic nation, Alb.
dullah said, would henceforth be an
active member of the society of ma.
tions and confidently looked forward
to recognition by the United States.
The new kingdom resulted, he said,
from an unanimous meeting of the
notables and citizens of the country
who threw off the yoke of the commit
tee of union and progress at Con
stantinople.
The state department knows nothing
of the new foreign minister and little
OF the circumstances surrounding the
proclamation of the kingdom, and does
not know how to reach the foreign
minister, owing to the absence of any
consular or diplomatic representative
in Arabia. Investigation into the sit
uation, however, may be made through
British or French sources.

that as the men voted In the suffrage

about equally divided MS to prefer

successful. but his pluralitles were not

Farm Vote the Factor.
There are several great outstanding
facts concerning the result of the cleo
ton. one of which is that labor, In all
the big industrial states except Ohio,
declined to give its undivided support
to President Wilson despite his claim
to IL on the score of having persuaded
congress TO pass the Adamson eight
hour" bill. New York, PENNSYLVANIA.
Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, In
diana, all gave the Republican candi-
date pluralities. and Ohio's vote in fa.
vor of Wilson Is not certainly to be at
trlDuteu 10 the iubOr vote.
Another interesting development was
the independence of the West, which Is
asserting that II elected president
without the aid of New York and Penn
sylvania ana other big western and
central states. When Ii was found,
early in the evening of election day.
that the empire state had gone for
Hughes. the newspapers of the metrop-
oils, even those that had supported
Wilson, conceded the victory to the
Republicans, without waiting to hear
from the middle West. When the re-
turns came In from these regions, II
was found that the farmer and stock
raiser had decided the election.
Yet another fact that calls for com.
ment is that Governor Johnson of Cal.
ifornia, running on the Republican and
Progressive tickets, has been elected to
the United States senate by something
like 100000 plurality, and yet the state
went Democratic on the presidency.

tempting TO extort $4,000 from Coun.
tess Won Bernstorff, wife of the Ger

publish letters alleged to contain
matter showing her infirmities and

Officials of the embassy also allege
that Graves had in his possession what
apparently were confidential code dip

government TO Count Won Bernstorff.
The prisoner told the federal agents
he obtained all the documents from
persons who struggled them past the

was arraigned and held on $4,000 bail

also with bringing into the District of
Columbia letters stolen in Hoboken,

In a statement after his arraign-

not guilty, Graves asserted that he
had no intention of Matchmaking the

of the word blackmail, and that the
papers he had in his possession were

Democratic senate, but with five dis
tricts still undecided, the best that the
Democrats could claim was a plurality
Of four votes in the house.
Upon the basis of revised returns
the Democrats have elected 215 men,
211. In addition there have been elect
ed one Independent. one Socialist, one
Progressive and one Progressive Pro-
tectiOnist.
Four districts In West Virginia, two
of them nominally Democratic, and two
Republican, and one district In New

districts do not change. the Democrats

a plurality of only three.
AS there will be four members of
