Should the state of Georgia win the ucond and Anal phase of the suit pend ing In the supreme court of the United State* against the Tennessee Copper Company and the Ducktown mines It sill probably result In the Federal au thorities forcing 180,000,000 worth of copper mines In and about Butte, Mont., to close down or adopt some plan to prevent the destruction of veg etation by the fumes from the smelt ers. This case of the state against the Tennessee Copper Company Is unique In that It Is the first time In the his tory of the United States that a state has been given the right to sue an In dividual. and in the decision handed down Monday an Important 'precedent was set when that tribunal held that (Pointa had a right In Its sovereignty to enter the supreme court to secure the suppression of the fumes of smelt ers located at. Ducktown, Tenn. The itnal hearing of the case Is set for February 25 next. The state asked for a' temporary restraining order, seeking to have the smelters closs down until the final hearing was completed. This restraining order was denied. It Is believed that the court assumed that little would be gained by allowlng sucb an order, as new vegetation usually does not show untir about the middle of Marctv'and little remains to be killed at this season. A Famous Suit. . This suit was-filed against the Ten nessee Copper Company about a year ago by'Attorney General John C. Hart, u ho ims been depending wholly upon J.lgon Johnson, of Attanta' ln charge of the litigation. Mr. Johnson has been warmly congratulated upon the suc res, of his efforts In securing this im portant decision, which will mean a great deal to • the copper mining Inter- v«t' 1 of America. The property at. Ducktown Is esti mated to 'be worth only about 55,000,- 000, white that In and near Butte, Mont..'la said to be worth at‘least 860,000,000. The government sent Its experts to Ducktown soon after the suit was brought and an Investigation was made of tho effects of the fumes on plant life. A full report was mads to the bureau of statistics at Wash ington and will he used In probable future cases. These same expects have gone to Butte, Mont., to make a similar Investi gation In that territory. Fcr miles around the Butte copper smelters there Is not a blade of grass or a green leaf of any sort so thorough' has the pois onous fumes done their work. Should any action be taken by the Federal au thorities the stock market will be af fected through Amalgamated Copper, one of the most Important stocks quot ed on the New York Exchange, and other mining Interests now on the boards. The status of the case at present is wholly In favor of the state winning out In the Anal decision. It only re mains for Attorney Johnson to prove Injury. The result of the Investigation of the Federal experts and the data collected by them will be of much Im portance as evidence In the second and last phase of the case. The effect of the decision wilt be far-reaching and the result will be watched with interest.

I., Nov. 8.—With the weather dear and cold, election day In Rhode Island Is the greatest and most enthusiastic ever known In the state. Mayor James H. Higgins, of Paw tucket, Democratic candidate for gov ernor, said today after he had cast his ballot: , 'I am confident of victory. I have never doubted It since the beginning, and now I feel more confident than ever. The great vote that will be poll ed for the Democratic ticket will be a mighty rebuke to the ring rulera who have held the state house In their dead ly grip for years." Judge Robert Fitzsimmons, chairman of the Democratic state committee, was the first to cast his vote In his home town of Lincoln. He said: “Mayor Higgins Is going to be elect ed governor by a splendid majority, and he will carry the whole ticket with him. There Is no doubt of that; even our friends, the Republicans, admit It now. The Democratic party will also send a majority to the legislature, cap turing the grand committee and the junior senator front Rhode Island will be H. I. Goddard, Democratic.” The polls opened at 7 o'clock In the cities, and will remain open until 7:30 p.tn., so that It will be well Into the night before the returns begin to come In. . TREMENDOUS VOTE POLLEDIN CHICAGO Independence League Makes Great Effort To Win Out. Chicago,. Nov. '.8.—A tremendous vdte Is being polled in Chicago today, where state, county and judicial can didates are- to be elected. Indications are that out of * total .registration of 344,246 In the city.and suburbs over 300,000 votes will be cast. The entry of the Independence League into the tight Is responsible for the exceptional interest In the election and the strength being shown by the ticket at the polls today Is easily the feature. A lesser feature which tended to greater Interest Is the fact that In addition to sheriff and the usuat county officers to be chosen at today's election, there are twenty-eight judl eta! Justices who, constitute the new court which will supplant the old Jus tice courts system and all justices. The Independence League, with, two detective agencies and an army of watchers, has acted as a big check on fraud.

A Cut Glass Sale Thursday By actual count 2193 Pieces of Cut Glass to Go Into This Sale. A Pre-Holiday EventYou’ll Not Care To Miss. Thursday. Chamberlin-Johnson DuBose C9. Sits at Ease to Watch the Many Bat tles. In the election held through out the utato Tuesday there was but little interest and a very light vote cast. Besides the election of eleven congressmen and three judges of the court of appeals, the only other names voted for were for local offices, and in most places the candidates were with out opposition, as were the con gressional and judicial candidates. It was because of the lack of op position to the Democratic nomi nees that there was so little in terest taken by tho voter, as a nomination practically means an election. The candidates for congress have done but little campaigning, owing to the lack of opposition. Election day In Georgia doei not carry much significance or especial In terest. Tuesday, whlls great struggles an going on in New York, Illinois and over the , Union, Georgia Is simply go ing through the formality of electing eleven congressmen and three appellate Judges. Due to lack of contest anfwhere, the vote Is likely to bo very light Georgia does not differ from other states fn that voters will not go to the polls unless there is a contest among candidates. Down In the First dis trict Charles Edwards, the Democratic nominee. Is opposed by a Republican, but there Isn't the slightest apprehen sion as to the result. . Georgia's dele gation will remain solidly Democratic. Here in the Fifth Congressman Liv ingston Is without any kind of oppo sition, and he will sit back comfortably while the voters do the refit. Congress man Livingston Is now dean of the Georgia delegation. The eleven con gressmen to be elected are as follows. In order of districts: Gsorgla Dslsgation. Charles Edwards, of Savannah: J. M. Griggs, of Dawson; E. B. Lewis, of Montesuma; W. C. Adamson, of Car rollton: L. F. Livingston, of Newton county; Charles S. Bartlett, of Macon: Gordon Lee, of Chlckamauga; W. M. Howard, of Lexington; T. M. Bell, of GalnesvIUe: T. W. Hardwick, of San- dersvllle, and W. G. Brantley, of Bruns wick. Besides the congressmen three Judges of the court of appeals will be elected. The three nominated on Octo ber 3 are: Judge R. B. Russell, Hon. Benjamin H. Hill and Arthur O. Pow ell. Interest In this will come after their formal election In the naming of the presiding judge, and the formation of the court's work. Judge Russell and Mr. Hill are both possibilities In con nection with the presiding Judgeship's place. It Is probable that Georgia will not cast over 50,000 votes Tuesday.

Hart told her to stop. The woman's arrest followed her refusal, and then she come at the conductor with a case knife.

Ihe was forced to stay on the ear and was turned over to County Policeman Wright at East Point. CLAIMED FOR HEARST Continued from Page One. G. 0. P.
