winter on the statehood bills.
Defeat Not Unexpected*, i
His defeat will be particularly felt In
tbs district, as he has been active In
behalf of Washington while chairman
ct the house district committee. He
will probably be succeeded In that po
sition by Representative Samuel W.
Smith, of Michigan, now the' ranking
member. The defeat of Douglas, nomi
nated by the Republicans In the Athens

j reel General Charles H. Grosvenor,
was not unexpected In well-informed

It has been quietly suggested for
some time that the Grosvenor followers
were so Indignant at the retirement of
die old! veteran that they would knife
the party nominee, no matter how dan-
prim* that policy might prove. That
they kept their threat la proven by the
result In the Eleventh district.
Surprised the Democrats.
In the Third Kentucky district the
Republicans surprised the Democrats
by fleeting A. D. James over James
Richardson, tho Incumbent, who was
.elected two years ago over his Republl-
'sn opponent by only 100 votes. This
district was confidently claimed by the
Democrats, and conceded by the Re-
Mblicans. The result In the Ninth
Kentucky district, where Bennett, Re
publican, saved his seat, was tl* much
"t a surprise to the Republicans as to
Hie Democrats. Bennett was elected
'»o years ago by but 44 votes, and the
Democrats made desperate efforts to
"leu their candidate. Mr. Bryan was
Invited to speak there, but owing to
other engagements could not do so. Ho

UNCLE SAM BREAD
To Serve
Customers.
Insist
on the
Label
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 bakyig 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 UnoleSam
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.

D. P. A., Atlanta, Ga.
New York, Nov. 7.—Antld shrieks of
200 panic-stricken passengers, the
steamer Maine, of the New Bedford
Tine, was rammed and her side smashed
In for 30 feet by the big railway barge
Maryland, beating the Congressional
express, at Hell's Gate today. The pas
sengers on the train and on the boat
were frantic.. The danger was to those
on the Maine, which wall filling with
water like a tilted tub. Under full
steam she was run aground off Earl
River park at Eighty-ninth street.
I.lfe boats from tbe Maine and all
sorts of row boats that put out from
the shore took the passengers to the
park.
Wild Scc-.es Enacted.
Tlie rescue was effected after the
wildest scenes. The rush for safety
nearly overpowered the crew and the
officers on the Maine. Women In fright
tried to throw themselves overboard.
Men attempted to lower the life boats
and' were kept back only by the strong
arms of the crew.
The accident was the result of a mis
understanding of signals. The two
vessels were In the short channel of the
East river at Hell's Gate when the
Maine tried to cross the bows of the
Maryland. Evidently the captain of the
Maine had miscalculated the speed of
the big barge.
Iron Platts 8mashed.
The Maryland, with Its hesvy load of
big express train from Boston to
Washington, crashed into the Maine SO
feet abaft her bows. With a great
ripping and grinding the blunt beak
of the barge bit into the Iron plates of
the steamer. The plates were smashed
in and the supporting steel girders
broken like so much match wood.
The Maine, under the impact, ca
reened over and shivered from stem to
stern. Most of her passengers were
below at the time and at once there
was a rush to the deck, as they thought
they were sinking. On the Congres
sional limited passengers were hurled
from their seats by the shock. Tb*>

Despite the pathetic appeals of sev
eral of the turned-down applicant* and
some opposition In certain Instance*,
the reports of the special committee
on saloon licenses were adopted by
council.
There were twenty-one application*
for whisky and beer license*. Three
were reported upon favorably by the
special committee nnd three were
granted licenses by council. The re
mainder of the applications brought
forth adverse report*, and council sue-
talned the aetkm of the committee.
In a number of Instances there was
opposition. The etrongest role secured
by any of the turned-down applicants
was that of Steve Moore. He got six
votes out of the twenty that were
caet.
It was night when council adjourned
Tuesday, uttsi- a seeston of the entire
afternoon that day. and the entire aft
ernoon of the previous day.
Ham Klein, an applicant for a license
at *9 and 71 Decatur street, said that
In Russia the esar had given his people
a year to close out their confiscated
businesses, but under the Stars and
Stripes only thirty days were being
given.
Alderman Holland moved that the
saloon men be given sixty more days In
which to close out their stock. The
motion was
A resolution was introduced by the
saloon committee that no more appli
cations be considered until after Jan
uary 1. 1‘ounrllrnau Martin offered a
substitute that It Is "the sense of coun
cil that no more licenses should be
granted until after January 1.” Sub
stitute was adopted.
The report of the special committee
appointed to Investigate tlie change*
made against members of the special
committee on whisky licenses was
made to council. The report stated
that not a particle of evidence had been
obtained against tbe official conduct of
a single member of the committee;
that especial pains was taken to run
down every rumor, no matter how
slight, ami that Chairman Oldknow, as
well as all other members of the com
mittee, were completely vindicated.
Alderman Harwell, one of the com
mittee, left the chair to state that the
vindication of Mr. Oldknow and the

Washington, Nov. 7.—Because of
their failure to disclose the Identity of
some of their number who had been
guilty of murder and violence while
stationed at the army post at Browns
ville. Tex., President Roosevelt has or
dered the dlsmlseal. In disgrace, of an
entire battalion of negro troops. Tho
action of the chief executive Is unpre
cedented in the history of the United
State* army.
The president has also ordered an In
vestigation which may result In ths
court-martial of Colonel William T.
Pitcher, of the Twenty-seventh in
fantry, a white officer, who is charged
with costing a slur upon tho negro
troops.
Garlington Made Recommendation.
The order regarding the dismissal of
all the negro troops composing compa
nies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth
infantry, waa the reauit of a recom
mendation made by General Garling
ton, who Investigated tho acts of the
negro soldiers while at Fort Brown on
tho night of August 13. 1906, when
shots wore fired into tho homes of cit-
liens, one man being killed ami tho
chief of police so badly wounded that
he lost an arm.
The negroes are to be disbarred from
re-enlisting in the army and navy of
the United States, as well as from em
ployment In any civil capacity under
the government.
Negroes Wouldn't Ttll.
When the acts of the troopers were
reported, the president ordered that tlie
men in tha three companies tell Who
had been guilty of the disorders. None
of them would tell, and so the Innocent
will be made to suffer with the guilty.
General Garltngtun, in his report or
the affair, stated that the illsinlexnl of
ths troops should be a forceful las mm
to the army at large, und cspoclnIU to
non-commissioned officers that their
duty doss not cease upon the drill
ground, at ths calling of company mil!-,
making check Inspections und other
dutlea of formal character, but that
their responsibilities of office accom
pany them everywhere and at all timer.
People Must Be Safe.
He added:
“Moreover, the people of the United
States, wherever they live, must feci
assured that the men wearing the uni
form of the army are their protectur <
and not midnight assassins or riotous
disturbers of the peace of the commu
nity tn which they may be stationed."
Regarding the alleged criticism by
Colonel Pitcher, It is stated that ott Oc
tober 5, 1933, a squadron ■> tin- Ninth
cavalry, an organization of negro
troops, reported at Fort Sheridan, near
Chicago, under ordera from tho war de
partment assigning them to duty there,
and that soon after tholr assignment
Colonel Pitcher was quoted in the pa-
pers as making the following state
ment:
Piteher’e Alleged Critioiem.
The negro troops would nover have
been-quartered at Fort Sheridan with
out a protest If I was to remain. I
never liked them, and tho 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 enougli fine white
young men In this big^eountry to make
soldiers of without recruiting from such
source.”
The president asked that Colons!
Pitcher bo asked If he was corrertlv
quoted. It wa* stated that “the presi
dent thinks such conduct Is little bettei
than that of the offending troops them
selves."
