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.

MORE TURKS ON THE RUN 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?

His right leg was fractured. 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. ■ I JOS. M.

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.” MAN RIDES TO HIS DEATH WHILE ROLLING CIGARETTE ANNISTON, ALA., Not. 4. — While leisurely rolling a cigarette, Hugh To land, of Oxford, rode to hls death lasi night, about 11 o’clock, when a horse pulling a bug,gy in which he and Leon ard Thomas/Were riding became fright ened and leaped into Snow creek at th< bridge crossing on F street tn Oxanna The distance from the top of the brldgs to the creek is about ten feet.
