Rhode Island Congressman Ex
pires. Making State Demo
cratic if Election Fails.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. —Adding one
more complication to a presidential
election which may be thrown into the
house of representatives, the death of
Congressman George H. Utter, Repub
lican. of Rhode Island, was announced
today. Mr. Utter’s death may have a
vital bearing on the presidency in the
event that the duty of election devolves
upon the house. It doesn’t break the
existing deadlock, but for the present
it adds one more Democratic state to
the list.
Mr. Utter was a staunch Republican
from one of the “tied states” prohibited
from voting in the event no candidate
receives a majority in the electoral col
lege, and the election went to the lower
branch of congress. His death makes
Rhode Island not an evenly divided
state, but a Democratic state, so far as
voting purposes go.
As the house delegations now stand,
the vote for president would be as fol
lows:
Democratic, 2; Republican. 21: tied, 3
(Maine, Nebraska, New Mexico).
A majority of all the states in the
Union, or 25, each state having one
vote, is needed to elect a president.
House Deadlocked Heretofore.
For months since the possibility of
the house election of a president devel
oped, by reason of the peculiar political
conditions of the day. the vote has stood
22 to 22. with four tied and not voting.
In so far as the sixty-second congress
is concerned, Rhode Island is represent
ed in the house by Congressman
O’Shaughnessy, a Democrat. If a spe
cial election is held and a. Democrat is
elected to succeed Mr. Utter, it will
make doubly sure the casting of the
Rhode Island vote for Wilson and Mar
shall-provided, always, that the house
is destined to elect.
If the Utter seat remains vacant, the
Rhode Island tie is broken; Mr.
O’Shaughnessy would caucus with him
self and decree that Rhode Island’s
vote shall be cast for the Democratic
candidate.
In the event of a special election,
wherein the Republicans elect a succes.
sor of that party to Congressman Utter,
the state would go back Into the "tie”
column.
Congressman Connell, a New York
Democrat, died last week, but his death
did not change the complexion of the
Democratic Empire State delegation.

CONFESSES POISONING
TWO WOMEN WHO TOOK
PLACE OF HER MOTHER
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4.—Police here
today are in communication with au
thorities in Missouri to ascertain
whether Mrs. Pansey Ellen Lesh, aged
26, who confessed two murders, is want
ed in connection with the alleged slay
ings. Mrs. Lesch came to the police
and told of having put poison in med
icine capsules intended for Mrs. Quafn
tence, of Greenridge, Mo. This, she
said, was in 1901. The girl was an
orphan and was taken to the Qualn
tence home. She said Mr. Quaintence,
60 years old, took advantage of her.
She believed his wife discovered it and
she was treated cruelly. When the
woman became sick, Mrs. Lesch says,
she put poison in two capsules and put
them back In the box. Mrs. Quaintence
died. Later, Mrs. Lesch said, the story
of the man's relations with her became
known and he killed himself.
A short time afterward, she said, she
was taken by Mrs. Coe, a widow. Mrs.
Coe was strict with her and the girl
said she put poison in milk and beer
given the woman. She felt sorry, she
said, when she found that Mrs. Coe
really cared for her.
Mrs. Lesch said her husband was
jealous of her and threatened to tell
the police. She said she prayed over
the matter and then decided to tell of
the murders herself.
THEY FIGHT EMBARGO
ON CHRISTMAS TREES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4—Prelimi
nary to a proclamation quarantining
portions of the New England states
against the shipment of Christmas trees,
railroad ties, telephone poles, plants
and other products, on account of the
gypsy and brown tail moth ravages, the
Federal horticultural board heard the
protests of thirty representatives of
New England horticultural interests. It
was stated that their objections will be
thoroughly considered.
THE OR. WAS
IN A CYCLONE
Dr. B. N. Alsworth, the physician of
Purvis, Miss., writes interesting details
about the cyclone that devastated that
section. We quote: ”1 suppose you saw
a notice in the papers that we had a cy
clone on the 24th of May. It swept our
little town about off the earth. Thank
providence, my family and self came out
alive, but my drug store was swept to
the winds. We are picking up slowly I
found four bottles Fulton’s Renal Com
pound unbroken and gave them to a
lady whom the other physicians had given
up (kidney dlesase). She came to me as
soon as she heard that I had returned to
my practice again, and I put Iter on the
Renal Compound and she is now nearly
well. But I need more, and you will
please send me another dozen of the
Renal Compound from your nearest ship
ping point.
"tn haste. B. N. ALSWORTH. M.D."
How can people who have any ktnd of
kidney trouble expect to get well on the
old futile kidney patents when the census
deaths show that ninety-two out of every
hundred of them passed out from a form
of the disease that was Incurable up to
the date that Fulton worked out his Renal
Compound?
Due to the futility of the old-time kid
ney medicines, the kidney deaths now
number one every nine minutes
Isn't there room here for serious re
flection for the man who is on bis way
io the drug store for a kidney medicine?

He was taken to Grady hospital.
I TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA: I
The present unfair, unjust, untruthful attacks now being I
made on Colonel Roosevelt by certain politicians in Georgia is
the best evidence that they fear the result of the balloting on
Tuesday.
It looks now certain that Roosevelt will sweep with a land
slide all the big industrial centers throughout the North and
West. Pennsylvania and Illinois are coming for the Progressive
ticket one hundred thousand strong. New York and New Jer-
1 sey are hanging in the balance. ■
I In every state throughout the Southland Roosevelt will poll I
g the biggest opposition vote in thirty years. Taft and Debs are I
running hot race for fourth place.
I We hope Georgia will keep step with her sister Progressive S
states of the North, Kentucky registering a tremendous vote for
i the greatest living American—Theodore Roosevelt. ■

NEW LIGHT RATE
TO SME PEOPLE
stoyoo >
Reduced Tariff Becomes Ef
fective January 1, Although
Falls Plant Isn’t Finished.
Beginning January 1 next, electrla
light bills will show a decrease of a lit.
tie more than twenty per cent, and th«
total charge against Atlanta consumers
will drop about $150,000 per year. The
annual bill paid by the municipality for
lights used tn streets and public build
ings will drop about $20,000.
That Is because the Georgia Railway
and Power Company has promised to
cut its rates when its big hydro-etectrio
plant at Tallulah Falls is completed.
The plant will not be finished before
March or April, but the company guar
anteed the reduction by January 1 and
will carry out its agreement.
The present rate on lights for ondl!-
nary consumers Is nine cents a kilo
watt hour, and next year it will be
seven cents. The general power rate
is 5.4 cents and the new rate will be.
4.50 cents. If you are burning eight In
candescents in your home now you can
burn ten next year for the same price
you pay now.
Cut Was Voluntary.
The agreement to cut the city’s rate
twenty per cent was accepted by the
company several months ago and the
electric light committee of council
agreed to recommend Its acceptance by
council but the agreement reached a
pigeon hole and never has been acted
upon formally. The city can accept it
at any time before January 1, however.
Officials of the company said today
argument used in the recent mayoralty
campaign—that the electric company
had been forced to grant a reduced rate
—was not In accordance with the facts.
"When we appeared before the rail
road commission and asked the right to
issue bonds, we made the public state
ment that prices would be sharply re
duced,” they said. “Everybody knows
that electricity produced by water pow.
er Is cheaper than that produced by
steam plants, and it was only reasona
ble that the rates should be reduced
when our water power plant became
available.”
