TN SOME STATES
North Carolina Now Has a
Solid Democratic Del
egation.
Washington, Nov. 7.—Of the 298 con-
gresslona! districts which have been
IimiiI from the Republicans carried 18"
and the Democrats 111, giving the Re
publicans a majority , considerably
larger than the most sanguine pre
diction of the Republican congression
al committee.
On n full membership of 386 mem
bers, the Republicans have a majority
in the present house of 114. The total
Republican vote In the present house
It *50 and the Democratic 116.
Two Vaoanoits Not Filled.
There are, however, at the present
time eleven vacancies paused by death
or resignation, and of these vacancies
mo will not be filled. Candidates were
substituted In the ‘Twenty-first New
York district for the vacancy on the
ticket for the sixtieth congress, caused
by the death of General Ketcham, but
not for the unexpired term. A similar
situation resulted in the Third Massa
chusetts, caused by the recent death
of Rnckwood Hoar.
The vacancies in. the present house
that were tilled at the electiona of yes
terday were three in Pennsylvania, one
In New York, one in Indiana, one in
California, ono In Virginia, one in Geor
gia and one in Illinois. >
The election In the 298 districts re
ported the Democrats gain as fol
lows:
Reported Democratic Gains.
Illinois, 2; New Jersey. 1; Pennsyl
vania, 3: Missouri, 3; New York. 3|
Maryland, 1; North Carolina, 1; Ne
braska, 1; Ohio, 2.—Total 13.
The Republicans gain one In Ken
tucky and one In Maryland. Repre
sentative Babcock, of the Third Wis
consin district, is probably defeated by
380 majority. Bibcock, one of -the
most influential members of the house,
led the revolt against the speaker last
winter on the statehood bills.
Defeat Not Unexpected.
His defeat will be particularly .felt In
the district. Its he has been active in
behalf of Washington while chairman
of the house district committee. He
will probably be succeeded in that po-
'ltlon by Representative Samuel W.
Smith, of Michigan, now the ranking
member. The defeat of Douglas, nomi
nated by the Republicans in the Athens
or the Eleventh Ohio district, to suc
ceed General Charles H. Grosvenor,
was not unexpected In well-informed
■luarters.
It has been quietly suggested for
some time that the Grosvenor followers
were so Indlgtrant jit the retirement of
die old veteran that they would knife
i he party nominee, no matter how dan-
serous that policy might prove. That
'hey kept their threat Is proven by the
result in the Eleventh district.
Surprissd the Democrats.
In the Third Kentucky district the
Republicans surprised the Democrats
•>>’ electing A. D. James over James
Richardson, the incumbent, who was
elected two years ago over Ills Republi
can opponent by only 100 votes. This
district was confidently claimed by the
Utmoc.-atr, and conceded by the Re
publicans. The result in tbs Ninth
Kentucky district, where Bennett, Re
publican, saved his seat, was as much
’>f a surprise to the Republicans as to
'he Democrats. Dennett was elected
'WO years ago by but 64 votes, and the
Democrat* made desperate efforts to
fieri their candidate. Mr. Bryan was
■nvlted to speak there, but owing to
'"her engagements could not do so. lie
' rote a lettey appealing to tho voters
i o elect Kehoe.
In New Jersey the Democrats msdo a
kiln of one seat and held the Demo-
TO THE PUBLIC.
The Schlesinger-Meyer Bak
ing Co. recently established a
new plant to make bread by
a new process as far as purity
and cleanliness are concerned.
Quality of material is the pri
mary consideration. The most
skilled workmanship only is
employed in the baking.
Cleanliness is given an equal
consideration, for without it
purity cannot exist. The
largest and best equipped
bakery yet established in the
South was constructed. A
thoroughly modem plant was
installed in a big, clean, airy,
well lighted building. The
finest machinery to be had
was purchased. The most ex
pert bakers obtainable were
employed. The product of the
bakery is known as
UNCLE SAM BREAD.
In the baking of Uncle Sam
Bread every process of sift
ing, mixing and kneading is
done by machinery. Nothing
is concealed from the public.
The factory is open and in
spection is invited. The loaf,
which sells for 5 cents, is larg
er and weighs more than any
other 5 cent loaf on the mar
ket.
A large majority of the
leadinggrocers sell Uncle Sam
Bread exclusive of all other
bread. You will find a list of
them published on this page.
The bread is delivered to
these grocers fresh from the
ovens daily. When you buy
bread, as you must, insist that
your grocer supply Uncle
Sam Bread. If he hasn’t got
it be sure that he gets it.
When the bread comes look
for the label—it’s on every
loaf.
Your physician will recom
mend Uncle Sam Bread.

The Schlesinger-Meyer Bak
ing Co. is making the best
bread that money, brains and

portion of the public not al
ready apprised of this fact.
Consequently an enormous de
mand is being created. Al
ready a great majority of the

ing our product exclusive of
all other bread. They have
learned that they save mon
ey and increase their bread
business. They can depend
on receiving the bread fresh
from the ovens daily. They
know that the public appre
ciates honest effort to give
wholesome food. That is
UNCLE SAM BREAD.

New York, Nov. 7.—Amid shrieks of
200 panic-stricken pasaengera, the
steamer Maine, of the New Bedford
line, was rammed and her side smaehed
in for 30 feet by the big railway barge
Maryland, bearing the Congressional
express, at Hall's Gate today. The pas
sengers on the train and on the boat
were frantic. The danger waa to those
on the Maine, which waa filling with
water tike a tilted tub. Under full
■team she waa run aground off Earl
River park at Eighty-ninth street
Life boats from the Maine and all
aorta of row boats that put out from
the shore took the passengers to the
park.
Wild Scenes Enacted.
The rescue waa,effected after the
wildest scents. The rush for safety
nearly overpowered the crow and the
officers on the Maine. Women In fright
tried to throw themselves overboard.
Men attempted ti^ lower the life boats
and were kept back only by the strong
arms of the crew.
The accident waa the result of a mis
understanding of signals. The two
vessels were In the abort channel of the
East river at Hell's Gate when the
Maine tried to cross tho bows of the
Maryland. Evidently the captain of the
Maine had miscalculated the speed of
the big barge.
Iron Plates Smashed.
The Maryland, with its heavy load of

The Maine, under the Impact, ca

waa a rush to the deck, as they thought
they were sinking. On the Congres

Despite the pathetic appeals of sev
eral of the turned-down applicants and
some opposition In certain instances,
the reports of the special committee
on saloon licenses were adopted byf
council.
There were twenty-one applications
for whisky and beer licenses. Three
were reported upon favorably by the
special committee and three were
granted licenses by council. The re
mainder of the applications brought
forth adverse reports, and council sus
tained the action of the committee.
in a number of Instance* there was
opposition. The strongest vote secured
by any of th« turned-down applicants
was that of Steve Moore. He got six
votes out of the twenty that were
cast.
It was night when council adjourned
Tuesday, after a session of the entire
afternoon that day. and the entire aft

LABOR SITUATION
DISCU8SED BY OPERATORS.
Special to Thu Georgia*.
Savannah Ga, Nov. 7.—The feature
of the meeting of the South Georgia
Turrentine Operators' Association was
the fact that practically every naval
stores factor in the city lined up sol
idly behind the association In its ef
forts to control the labor situation in
this section. The operators have not
heretofore had the unanimous backing
of the factors, and it was on this ac-,
count that they had some fear* of the
success of their movement. President i
W. G. WarnelL of Hagan, Tattnall
county presided over the meeting. The
meeting was attended by more than!
*"venty-flve of the leading operators of j
the stale.
Washington, Nov. 7.—Because of
their rallure to disclose the identity of
some of their number who had been
guilty of murder and violence while
etatlone.i at the army post st Browns
ville, Tex., President Roosevelt ha* or
dered ths dismissal. In disgrace, of an
entire battalion of negro troop*. The
action of the chief executive is unpre
cedented In tbe history of the United
States army.
The president has also ordered an In
vestigation which may result in the
court-martial of Colonel William T.
Pitcher, of the Twenty-seventh In
fantry, a white officer, who 1* charged
with casting a slur upon the negro
troops.
Garllngton Mad* Recommendation.
The order regarding tho dismissal of
all the negro troops composing compa
nies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry, was the result of a recom
mendation made by General Garllnc-
ton, who investigated the acts of the
negro soldiers while at Fort Brown on
the night of August 13. 1906, when
shots were fired Into tho homes of cit
izens, one man being killed nnd the
chief of police so badly wounded that
he lost an arm.
The negroes arc to be disbarred from
re-enllstlng in the army nnd navy of
the United States, as well as from em
ployment in any civil capacity under
the government.
• Negroes Wouldn’t Tell.
When the acta of the troopers ware
reported, the president ordered that the
men In the three companies tell who
had been guilty of the disorders. None
of them would tell, nnd so the Innocent
will be made to suffer with the guilty.
General Garllngton. in his report of
the affair, stated that the dlsniltooil of
the troops should be a forceful lesson
t>* tho arms’ ."t law, ami .-hiliv i„
non-commissioned officers that l heir
duty does not cease upon the drill
ground, at the calling of company rolls,
making check Inspi-.qi.uis and .aii..r
duties of formal chnrncter, but that
their responsibilities of ofilce arcom-
pany them everywhere and at ail limes.
People Must Be 8sft.
He added:
"Moreover, the people of the United
States, wherever they live, must feel
assured that tho men wearing the uni
form of the army are their protector*
and not midnight assassins or riotous
disturbers of the peace of the commu
nity in which they may bo stationed.”
Regarding the alleged criticism hy
Colonel Pitcher, It Is stated that on Oc
tober 6, 1966, a squadron of the Ninth
cavalry, an organization of negro
troops, reported at Fort Sheridan, near
Chicago, under orders from the war de
partment assigning them to duty there,
and that soon after their assignment
Colonel Pitcher waa quoted In the pa
pers as making tho following state
ment:
Pitcher's Alleged Criticism.
"The negro troops would never have
been quartered at Fort Sheridan with
out a protest If I was to remain. I
never liked them, nnd the farther away
from me they are kept, the better It
pleases me. For the life of me, I can
not see why the United States should
try to make soldiers out of them- Cer
tainly there are enough fine unite
young men In this big country to malt"
soldiers of without recruiting from such
a source.”
The president asked that Colonel
Pitcher be asked If he was correctly
quoted. It wus stated that "the presi
dent thinks such conduct Is Bttlo beiirr
than that of the offending troops them
selves."
