WHALES STOOD ON HEADS
According to Ships Officers, Large
School Certainly Acted In q Most
Peculiar Manner.

This is a whale story, concerning
whales that stood on their heads, and:
all vouched for by officers of a fruit
steamer which arrived recently from
the tropics, according to a recent issue
of the Boston Evening Transcript;
And, seriously, the chief officer Of the
steamer intends to make a written re"
port about the whales to the federal
bureau of fisheries. The whales were
sighted south Of Nantucket shoals
llghtship. During their respective
careers at sea the officers have see
many whales, but none which behaved
in the manne of those sighted OF this
trip, and it was the peculiar behavior
Of the leviathans, together with their
number, which attracted attention. Be-
tween 6 a. m. and i p. M, according to
the chief officer, nearly 100 whales
were seen. For the most part, they ap-
peared to be in shoal water, and from
time to time would dive and remain
poised with their tail-ends p%rotruding
twenty or more feet above the surface,
according to the size of the individual
whale. In the opinion Of the ships Of
ficers, the whales pursued these tactics
to obtain food fish swimming close to
the bottom. On the other hand, q num-
Der Of the whales again, according to
the mariners, f1oated on the surface
apparently asleep and were not dis
turbed by the approach of the steamer.
In addition to the story, the steamer
brought $4,000 punches of bananas.

Whitman Odds
Close at 7 to 5

In the betting in the financial district
yesterday odds on Whitman closed at
to S. An influx of Smith money car
ried them down at one time to to 5
from the opening of 8 to 5.
The amount of money wagered on
this election is small compared with
preceding years, according to Wall
Street Stockholders. They estimated
that up to the close of business last
night between $1sO,00O and 100000 had
been placed, whereas in former years
the total has run up to between
S500,000 and $1,00O,O0O. Few of the bets
thi year have been big, most being
either for $500 or 81 600
Percy Guard estimated that $4,000
was handled yesterday by himself and
other curb brokers. James w Ball e.
Co. announced a bet for a customer of
$1,000 that the next House will be

Both Sides Claim
Senators i'm Jersey
Situation Somewhat Muddled
by Reason of President
Wilson's Plea
,spcial Dispatch to The Tribune

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 4.-The cur
tain was rung down tonight on the
most confused political situation that
has ever existed in New Jersey on an
election eve. Republicans predicted the
election of Governor Edge as United
States Senator for the full term. Dem
ocrats say David Baird, present mem
Der of the Senate will be defeated for
the unexpired term of the late William
Hughes. The opponent for Governor
Edge is George NJ. Lamonte, and Sen
ator Baird's adversary is Charles
O'Connor Hennessy.
In the final statement of the cam
paign Charles F. Mcdonald, chairman
Of the Democratic State Committee,
prophesed tonight that the appeal of
President Wilson was going to have q
vital effect on the results of the Jersey
campaign and would result in the cleo
tion Of Lamonte and Hennessy, the
Presidents personal friends.
Republican leaders take the opposite
view and hold that the action of the
President has antagonized many old
line Democrats. They say that at q
conservative estimate Edge will have a
plurality Of 10000.

She Registered

by State Superintendent
Of Elections

Rose Pastor Stokes, Socialist. was
arrested last night at her home, SO
Grove Street, by State Superintendent
Of Elections Frederick l.. Marshall on
charge of illegal registration. Mrs
Stokes is out on bail pending the set
tlement of her appeal in Kansas, where
she was convicted of seditious utter
ances.
Superintendent Marshall contends
that she committed a felony by reg
istering. Mrs. Stokes, when arraigned
in the Women's Night Court, said that
she did not believe that she had lost
her franchise because of her convic-
tion, since sentence had not been
passed upon her. Magistrate Marsh
held her in $500 bail for hearing in
jefferson Market Court this morning
Bail was furnished.
Magistrate Mcclellan in Jefferson
Market court yesterday refused to issue
a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Stokes
in case she should attempt to vote to-
day. Deputy State Inspector of Elec.
tons Williamson asked for the war
rant.
The brief presented by Inspector
Williamson was drawn by Deputy State
Attorney General Becker.
At her home earlier in the day Mrs
Stokes said:

as to my status as a voter, and if they
point out the law restraining me
shall refrain from voting. Otherwise

than in the ranks of Austrian and Ger
man workiagmen. They know the
victory of the Allies means the end Of
militarism and the wide extension of
democracy.
Mission Accomplished Much
"The American Socialist Mission
accomplished much. For one thing,
it killed the idea of Stockholm
conference. That, alone, was a great
achievement. In France the mission
had the effect Of strengthening the
pro-a'ly Socialists and forcing the anti
war Socialists to a defensive posi-
ton. In France. too, we came into
touch with leaders of the Czecho-
Slcyak and Jugo-Slav movements and
were able to be of material assistance
to them. In Italy, where the situation
was much worse than elsewhere, the
mission strengthened the hands of
men like Bissolati and it forced the
official Socialists to cover.
War Not Over Yet
THE one danger see is that our people
think the var is ended, and they fail
TO comprehend the seriousness and the
magnitude Of the problems of read
justment and peace. We must be on
guard against that. We must see the
tilHS CilIOuSus OuT Allies neeQ our
support for many months to come
We must rescue Russia and make q
stable government of that unhappy
land possible"

about the Congressional elections. Mr.
