BOLSHEVlSM RECEIVED HARD BLOW AT REGENT
 ELECTION. SAYS KING

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Bolshevism in the United States received a hard blow at the recent election, s. s. King of Dayton. Ohio, said today at the opening of a meeting of the National Association of Sash. Door and Mill Work Manu- lecturers.
 The union labor man is not so jockey as he was just before the election" Mir. King, who is presi- dent of the association, said. 'ln a little while he will be ready to eat out of his employers hand. In Chicago the Building Trades Coun- cil has acquiesced in the right Of contractors to fire men who loaf on their jobs.
 Employers are getting 90 per cent more production out of labor than they were some time ago. Many workmen who left the wood working industry to get higher wages in automobile factories have been let out and now are sit ting on the fence wondering what is to come next. They have lost their old-time frisky spirit"

CLAIMS FRAUD IN KENTUCKY VOTE

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Nov. 4-John Grayet, Democratic state congress- ional chairman, tonight charged Re publicans with gross frauds in the eleventh congressional district of Kentucky which is comprised of counties in the mountain regions.
 Mir. Grayot's charges were based on the variation of majorities in the senatorial race claimed by Republi- can state headquarters. MT Grayot asserted majorities claimed today for Richard P. Ernst. Republican sen atorial candidate, exceed by 11,19O these claimed on Wednesday,
 The figures. he said. were taken from majorities claimed on the two days in 12 counties in the 11th dis trict. He also asserted that while votes for MT. Ernst were being piled up. the count for Senator Beckham does not show any substantial changes"
 G. O. p. Repudiates Charge
 This excess of 11.199 votes over the result of the first reports. if they be honest must be supposed to be the result of some sor of recount on Thursday or at some time later than the first count" said Mir. Gray ct. That must be true. The thing that srikes he honest intelligent man is that such recounts, if such there was, does not show substantial change in Senator Beckham's origin ally reported votes"
 c. H. Seary. Republican state cam Grayots charges were utterly ab- surd."

COURT PUTS END
 TO DEPORTATION CASE; DISMISSED

Prosecution of the defendants in the Bisbee deportation cases was end ed yesterday when charges of kidnap- ping. filed last year against 2O6 men, were dismissed in the superior court at Tombstone upon the motion of County Attorney Robert N. French.
 The abrupt ending of the cases came as a surprise to even the defen- dants themselves, who were prepar- ing to start making daily trips to Tombstone next Monday, the date set early in the summer for trial of the blanket information
 The motion for dismissal of the re- maining criminal cases was made by MT. French before Judge Sam. l.. Pat tee, of the superior court Of Pima county who presided during the trial ,of H. E. Wootton, of this city, early this year. Wootton, the first of the defendants, was acquitted on the first ballot taken by the jury that, for two months, had listened to the evidence offered.
  ed, MT. French yesterday stated that he had been working for practically two years on the states case against the defendants. he had reached the end of the trail" Inability to get many of the deported men to appear as witnesses and the fact that hun dreds of Cochise county residents had asked him not to put the county to the expense of further prosecutions. said Mir. French, had made 1t neces- sary for him to at last ask for dis missal of the indictments.
 The county attorney stated that he had devoted almost his entire time to preparations for prosecuting the crim' inal cases and. although offered posi- 7 tion as counsel for the plaintiffs in civil suits filed as the result of the deportation, he had refused tnis for the reason that, as county attorney, ! it was his duty to confine himself to | prosecution of the criminal cases. William H. Burges. chief counsel for the defense, and Frank E. Curley, as sistant chief counsel. appeared yester- day for the 2O6 defendants.
 ! The indictments dismissed yester- day included 159 men named in the blanket case" which was to have been started next Monday. and indiNf- dual indictments naming 47 defen- dants. Since the prosecution of the
 v-x ago. four of the defendants have died.

 He said it was the governments duty to defeat the organized and armed attempts to intimidate the gov ernment into granting the indepen- dence of Ireland. If the government failed in this, the policy of assassina- ton would spread to England. The best way to put stop to what were called reprisals, the secretary said was to stop the campaign of murder against the police and military.
 Mir. O'Connor's motion of adjourn ment was defeated, 133 to 5t.
