FINAL RESULTS OF
RECENT ELECTIONS
REPUBLICANS HAVE TWENTY
MORE SEATS THAN RIVALS.
DEMOCRATS LOOK AHEAD.

There will be 20 more republicans
than democrats in the next house of
representatives, and II more republic
cans than democrats in the new
senate In the house the repub-
lican majority over the combined dem
cratic and scattering vote will be II,
while in the senate it will be 10.
In addition to these changes, all of
which become effective after the sixty
seventh congress expires March 4th
next, there will be some immediate
shifts in the totals through the filling
OF vacancies at the election. There
were eight vacancies in the present
house, due to deaths and designations,
and of these the republicans captured
six
Berger Sure of Seat.
Victor Berger, Milwaukee socialist
who was elected to congress in Wis
consin at the recent election after hav-
ing been twice denied a seat, will be
seated in congress this time despite an
attempt to raise a question OF consti-
tutional right.
This is the prevailing opinion among
republicans as we'll as democratic rep
resentatives.
Berger was ousted from congress
the first time on grounds of alleged
disloyalty. The second time he was
refused a seat on constitutional
grounds.
Democrats Perk Up.
Now that the election is over many
prominent democrats affiliated with
one element or the other of the party
are giving consideration to presidential
prospects for 1924. The outlook for
democratic success two years hence is
held by party leaders to be quite as
good as any democrat could ask.
The situation is one inviting enough,
according to leaders, to make any
democrat possessing presidential aspi-
rations perk up considerably.

FAMISHED DOGS
ATE HUMAN FLESH
BRUTES DEVOURED ESKIMO
PLAGUE VICTIMS. A WHOLE
VILLAGE FOUND DEAD.

Donald B. Macmillan, recently re-
turned from his latest voyage of Arc
tic exploration, has brought to the CIV
ilized world the news of horrible
tragedy which he heard from the Es-
kimos in northern Labrador.
The widespread epidemic of infuen-
"a, which in 1918 and 1919 took its
death toll OF thousands in the United
States and other countries, almost de-
populated the Eskimo villages on the
wild coast of northern Labrador and
its outlying islands. Living far beyond
the aid Of skilled physicians, the Eski-
mo had not even a fighting chance for
his life.
Not only whole families, but whole
towns, were wiped out. In some of the
Eskimo villages not a living human
being remained. The tale of death and
desolation was told only by the visible
signs of the terrible visitation, its grue-
some aftermath of deserted huts and
the crunched bones of those who had
lived and died therein.
People Died Unattended.
Not only had the inhabitants died,
virtually unattended, from influenza,
but their bodies had been eaten by the
wild dogs that came in savage, yelp
ing packs and fell upon the pitiful prey
that was past defense. Survivors who
lived at a distance told the explorers
in graphic detail of the fate OF one
Eskimo town near Hebron.
In boats and sledges they had Wis
tied this village and found that it had
returned to primitive wildness. Doors
of huts swung open on their hinges.
Where doors remained shut, windows
had been broken open by the Zero
cious dogs that succeeded the human
population The wild animals were in
possession OF the place. No other life
was present. Every man, woman and
child had persisted.
Dogs Ate Victims Alive.
Those who had not died from infiu-
enza when the dogs attacked the vii
lage had been killed and eaten by the
rayenous hounds. Weak from ravageS

ed from their beds and devoured. Lit

ed bones OF the victims lay strewr
about the streets and in the silent hab-
itations.
In one instance the band of rescu-
ers from Hebron entered hut to fine

Hughes made a successful break for

pie They demanded the blood of gov

eign minister; ProtopapadalIis, finance
minister; Hadjianestis, and Stratos.

Colonel Gonatas, leader of the revo-
luton which resulted in the dethrone-
ment of Constantine and the assump-
ton of King George to power and
now the premier, allowed the execu-
tons to take place despite the protests
of Great Britain. Threats. it is under
stood, were made by England that she
would sever diplomatic relations with
Greece if the ministers were put to
death.
The British minister, F. O. Lindley,
has notified the Greek government
that Great Britain has broken off rela-
tons with Greece, and that he is leav-
ing Athens tonight.

Hadjianestis wore their monocles as
they took their places in the little line
before the firing squads. All removed
their hats except Gournaris, who stood
with his hands in his pockets.
Gives Present.
Stratos smilingly lit a cigarette as
he took his place. Then he handed the
silver case to the officer in charge of
the execution as sign of his appre-
citation of the latter's courtesy and tact
in the exercise of painful duty.
Theotokis and Baltazzis chatted gal-
" with Gounaris as the brief final ar
rangements were made Protopapada
kis was silent, and General HadJanes-
It's wore his usual air OF nervousness
and restlessness.
The death sentence was delivered
by the court martial on Tuesday and
was communicated to the condemned
men, who had previously been remov-
ed from Averoff prison, where they
had said farewell to their relatives.
After the administration of the last
religious rites, the prisoners were re-
moved in automobiles to the place OF

wealth of the State has in a
large measure been withdrawn
from the country and centered
in the more populous areas This
uneven distribution of taxable
wealth has imposed upon the
State a revision of its methods
of financing the public school
system Of necessity the State
must give more and more finan-
eial support to the financially
poor counties. To fail to lend
this aid would be to deny
schools to these children and
would result in the depopulation
of the rural counties, the de-
struction of their wealth and the
imrovishment of the State.
According to the official
records of 1921. Shelby County
had per capita wealth of S4983
back Of each child between the
ages of six and twenty-one; Van

Shelby County would be re-
