ISSUE TODAYAT
VIRGINIA POLLS
Election or Defeat of Rose Ex-
pected to Determine kIan's
Future in Politics.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. Sin
terest in the general Virginia cleo
tion today centers upon the vote
that Richmond, the particular
stronghold of the Democratic party
in the State, will give Col. Henry
w. Anderson, Republican nominee
for governor and upon the effect
the Ku Klux Klan expose will have
upon John E. Rose, jr., candidate
of the Democratic primary for
Commissioner of the Revenue, who
is an avowed member of the Ku
Klux Klan and whose election in
the primary by the narrow margin
of &c votes is credited to the ac-
tivities of the klansmen in his be-
half.
Member Of Ku Klux.
Democratic leaders frankly admit
that Rose is the one candidate on
the city ticket who is in danger of
defeat. The declaration of Rose on
the eve of election that he was a
member OF the khan caused many
Democrats who opposed the princi-
pies Of that organization to remain
out OF the primary. The result was
that of the 10000 votes polled in the
primary Rose received about 5000
and his opponent, Henry f. Tresnon
&C fewer votes. Tresnon was urged
to run as an independent in the
general election, but remained loyal
to the party and IL supporting Rose.
Thousands OF the Jewish. Catholic,
and other voters OF the city. includ-
ing those OF direct foreign descent,
however, have combined to defeat
the Ku Klux candidate, as he is
known. and the campaign managers
of his opponent, Thomas n. Kendler,
independent. are today claiming an
assured victory for the independent
candidate.
They base their claims on these
figures:
Rose received 5000 votes in the
primary. There are 10000 lilly
white" Republicans registered. 1t is
the policy Of the lilly whites" TO vote
against the Democratic party nomi-
nee. Having no candidate of their
own in the field for this office they
will vote for the independent. There
are $500 negroes registered. While
the lilly blacks" are fighting the
lilly white" nominees, they recognize
the Ku Klux candidate as their so.
cial and political enemy, hence they
will vote solidly against Rose and
for Kendler 1t is estimated that
the Irish, German, Italian, French,
and other elements of the foreign
vote" will poll 5000 against Rose,
because Of his prominence In Ku
Klux affairs.
The total registered vote of Rich.
mond is approximately III 900. II is
pointed out by the Kendler managers
that II Rose received the whole vote

raj election and the entire vote polled

STOCKBRIDGE Mass, Nov. g.
Because Dan Hanna, son of former
Senator Marcus A. Hanna, wooed
his fourth wide with an incandescent
and unforgettable love, Mrs. Millie C.
Hanna. though divorced from him,
has started an investigation into his
death, which she calls mysterious
and unnatural"
Mrs. Hanna, suffering from a nerv-
Gus breakdown, has sent Erwin
Smith, a private detective, to Cleve-

grave of Hanna and determine If
his death was in any way fastened
AS her former husband had given
her a 100000 estate at Stockbridge,
and an income of 81, 500 a month for
life, she says she has no monetary
reason for asking the exhumation.
Mrs, Hanna said today:
my intuition tells me that Mr..
Hanna met with foul play. Other
attend the funeral? And why was
his body shipped the very next day,
quietly and secretly, to Cleveland?
A Wonderful WOoer.
Mrs. Hanna has great respect for
her late husbands love-making pro-
clivities. As she told of his many
loves and Of her great romance with
him, her white poodle, fheda Bara,

became unruly, Mrs. Hanna shook

Aides Of Refusing Cooperation
and Disturbing Morale.

Following reports of dissentior
and lack of cooperation among
guards and employees of the District
penal institutions, the Board OF
+, Charities and District Commissioners
are conducting a thcrcugh investi-
cation into the management.
Guards are Discharged.
During the past month or so. since
| the appointment of William III. Meyer
as superintendent of the penal insti-
tutions, five guards have been dropped
and 1t is stated that six others are
slated to go within the next few
days.
1t Is stated that Superintendent
Meyer has charged that several OF
the guards have not been giving him
full cooperation and have tried to
handicap him in his work of reorgan-
izing the penal institutions which con-
sist of the jail, workhouse ut Deco
guam. and the reformatory at Lorton,
Va
Further. IL was stated this morning
that Meyer has charged that these at

Charges Of Cruelty.
There have been murmurings of
dissension at the penal institutions
ever since Superintendent Meyer was
appointed on June 81, last. Charges
of cruelty, lack of proper food for the
inmates and other allegations have
been made.

Regarding the charges of cruelty"
said an official Of the Board of Chari-
ties this morning. 81 will say. en-
phatically. they are untrue. 1t is
rather the opposite. Mr.. Meyer. it
appears in some instances, may have
been too lenient to the inmates of the
reformatory.
"Moyer has made good as far as
can be learned" continued the Off
