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 nr the Eleventh Ohio district, to auc- j reel General Charles H. Grosvenor, was not unexpected In well-informed 1 quartet*! - f 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 wrote a letter appealing to the voters tn elect Kehoe. •« New Jersey the Democrats mode a Rail) of one seat and held the Demo- Groce r s D emand 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. These Grocers Sell Uncle Sam Bread: A—Autln, R. 19 Hayden street. Aiken, E. U„ & Co., 491 Teacbtreo street.

In the Elev enth district, where a prolonged dead lock was had in the Republican con vention, resulting in two candidates and the ultimate throwing out of the j nomination of Palmer, the sitting mem- . ber, Mr. Cobieigli, the Independent Republican, evidently was badly knifed, as the district was carried by the Dem ocrats.

Race for Life, While the passengers on the floating train looked on, those who were calm enough realized there was a race for Ilf*, as tho Maine was turned toward shore. The steamer waa listed far over and water seemed to .be rushing Into the yawning hole In her side. Every mo ment as she churned toward the park she seemed to sink lower. Her sloping decks were alive with frantic passen gers. When at last she was seen to come to a stop and settle on the bot tom the passengers on the express train, whose barge had kept on its way, sent up cries of encouragement.

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.

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.

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!
