DEMOCRATS WIN IN GOTHAM Tom Johnson ßeaten in Cleveland and Reform Blasted in Philadelphia. Indianapolis, Special: The elections held Tuesday throughout the country show that Massachusetts and Rhode Island have re-olected HepubHcan governors, while Virginia has returned a Democrat to this oico. New York City has elected tho Democratic candidate, Judge William J. Gaynor, to tko office of .Mayor, while In Philadelphia the efforts of the reformers to break the Republican organization has failed. Tom L. Johnson (Dem.) has been defeated as Mayor of Cleveland Ohio. In New Jersoy the Republicans held their own everywhere. The Intest returns from San Francisco Indicate that Francis J. Honey (Dem.) has been defeated for district attorney. In Maryland the paramount issue was tho so-called disfranchising amendment, designed to eliminate the negro as a political factor. The roturns came in slowly and the result Is still uncertain. The Indications are, been defeated. The Republicans carried Massa chusetts by tho narrowest margin In the history of tho Bay State for nearly a quarter of a century. The entire party ticket was re-elected, but Governor Eben Draper's plurality was cut down rrom GO.000 last year to 8,000. It is apparent that Governor Aran J. Pothier, Republican, has been reelected over Olney Arnold. Democrat, In Rhode Island, by several thousand majority and that the complexion of the next Legislature will remain Republican. Tho Democratic victory In Virginia brings Judge William Hodges Maun to the office of Governor. His majority apparently will be tho usual one for that State. Tammany elected another mayor of Greater New York In the person of Judge Gaynor, Democrat, but the or ganization lost its grip on the city finances. The Republican-Fusion forces will control absolutely the Hoard of Estate and Apportionment. In addition the Republican-Fusionlsts elected Charles S. Whitman district attorney of New York county and practically all their other candidates on the city and county ticket. In Pennsylvania tho chief interest centered in tho battle waged In Phila delphia, where the reform element endeavored in vain to break the power of tho local Republican organization. Samuel P. Rotan was re-olected district attorney by a surprisingly large majority. In tho state ticket the Republicans elected the Stnte Treasurer. the auditor general and a judge of tho Supreme Court. In Cleveland Tom L. Johnson (Dem.) for four terms mayor of the city, was defeated for a fifth term by Herman C. Baenr. In conceding his defeat, Mr. Johnson, who advocated a system of cqal taxation, announced that be would be a candidate for mayor two years hence. New Jersey elected eight members of the Stnte Senate and a full house of sixty members of Assembly. Tho Republicans will again control both Houses. New York State elected an Assem bly that will show a Republican ma jority of about thirty-eight Will Taft Fly? Nol Rnvniiniih.

1 OF f 0 CADET BYRNE IS SACRIFICED WITH BROKEN NECK. WEST POINTER DIES IN SCRIMMAGE Fatality Probably Sounds Death Knell of Game in Both Army and Navy. Uest Point, N. y Special: Football, as played by tho colleges, cllamed another victim when Cadet fcugeno A. Byrne, of IlufTalo, N. Y a fourth-year man at tho United States Military Academy, died in tho Cadet Hospital us a result of injuries received on tho gridiron. Army circles are plunged In grief as a result, and it is freely predicted that tho game will bo stopped in both tho military uim uavai academics. Young Byrne expired with his griefstricken father, John Byrno. a Civil Wur veteran, at his bedside. Bravo as was the young soldier's fight against death, it was hopeless from the start. Burled beneath a mans of struggling players in the Harvard-Army game Inst Saturday, his neck was twisted and broken by the weight of the crushing pile above him, and he was picked up with every nerve of his body, except those of his head and face, helpless to perform their functions.. Only the immediate resort to artificial respiration kept the boy from almost Instant death, for he did not draw a natural breath after receiving tho fatal shock. Byrne was only 21 years old, but was a veteran of tho football field. When it became known that Byrne was suffering from paralysis of the entiro body below the line of the jawbones tho cadet corps grasped with apprehension the similarity between this occurrence and the recent Injury to Carl Wilson at Annapolis. "If Byrne dies it will kill football for both West Point and Annapolis," was the remark heard in groups. Byrne was liked by all at West Point, not only for his football ability, but because of his good fellowship. Colonel Scott sent the following message to tho Naval Academy at Annapolis, where Cadet Earl Wilson, Injured in a manner similar to Byrne two weeks ago, Is in a critical condition: "To Superintendent of Naval Academy, Annapolis, Aid.: On account of the sorrow over the loss of a member of our football team and out of respect to his momory, West Point desires to cease playing football for tho remainder of the season. "H. U Scott, Colonel, U. S. A." The decision of Colonel Scott means tho cancellation of the annual ..struggle between the army and navy, which was to have taken place at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, on tho Saturday following Thanksgiving. WHAT D'YE THINK OF THIS? Psychic Power Causes Furniture to Perform Funny Stunts. Portland, Ore., Special: Influenced by an apparently inexplicable power, the contents of a house in this city were for hours turned topsy turvy from cellar to garret. Furniture as well ns other inanimate objects moved as if they were things of life. These occurrences were vouched for by hundreds of persons who visited the house and were witnesses of tho phenomena. A six-foot extension table raised itself on two legs and fell on Its side; a sora moved from its place against the wall and careened on its side; a clock on a shelf turned almost completely around and stopped at 3:20 p. m.; dishes on even surfaces stood on edge and rolled to the floor; a Morris chair fell over; a half-filled tea kettle and coffee pot refused to remain on the cook stove, although replaced there repeatedly, and a basket of onions traveled across a dralnboard and dropped to the floor though put back a dozen times. The phenomenon ceased as suddenly as It began. Which Would You Cut Out, Prof.? Cambridge, Mass., Special: That some of the ten commandments need brushing up," or revision, is the jpinion of Thomas N. Carver, professor of economics in Harvard University. Professor Carver, although not i prohibitionist, advocates that an enirely new commandment dealing with iio liquor habit should bo put in the place of another In tho original ten.

Jeffries wanted to mako a $20,000 side bet and winner take all, but Johnson refused. No club outside of America can bid for the match, which will likely como off In Frisco. The match will not take place until July.

EVOLUTION, OR WHAT? Mrs. Martin Has Been a Bird, Crow, Robin and Buzzard. Lebanon, Ohio, Special; Having four different surnames in her brief time, and all these names ot birds, is tho singular distinction held by Mrs. Elizabeth Martin, of Paris, Ky., who is now visiting her sister, Mrs. fcugene Hartsock, near Iebanon. She began as Miss Elizabeth Bird, In Harrison county, Kentucky, and first ventured from tho home nest when sho married Bud Martin. When Mr. Martin died, she married Edward Crow, a farmer.

Into the Buzard roost Mrs. Buzzard carried one llttlo Mnrtln, two Uttlo C rows, and one little Robin. One little Buzzard was already there to welcome the other birds.

63 M WAS SPEED AVERAGE OF VANDERBILT CUP RACE. ALCO WINS IN MAD FINISH Automobile Classic on Long Island Marked by Spectacular Features, But No Deaths. Garden City, L. I., Special: In a mad spurt Harry F. Grant, in an Alco, snatched victory from the two drivers in the Vanderbllt Cup Race between whom It was thought to lay, and finished first. After William Knipper had led for 11 laps he gave up the lead to Parker, who was Just beaten by GranL Grant's time was 4 hours, 25 minutes, 42 seconds. Parker's was 4:30:58 3-5. Only these two finished. As Grant swept by the grand stand at tho end of his twenty-first lap ho was ahead of what was left of tho field. The crowd gave him a mighty cheer. The Alco's owners then declared that one lap by their car had not been counted and the protest was granted, giving the victory to Grant at tho end of what had been supposed to be his twenty-first lap. Tho winner's average speed was 03 miles an hour. The Massapequa sweepstakes was finished comparatively early, Joe Matson, No. 41, in a Chalmers 30, finish-" ing first. Ills time was 2 hours, 9 minutes, 52 2-5 seconds. Doorley, In a Maxwell, was second in 2:28:28 4-5, and Lee, also in a Maxwell, was third in 2:30:24.

Wilcox was second, three laps behind, and Wells third, after covering six laps. Accident followed acc'ent in the Vanderbllt cup race In the daredevil driving of America's greatest motorists. Death was narrowly averted on a number of occasions and ten of the original 15 starting cars were disabled long before the race ended. A spectator tried to kill Louis Strang, and he was narrowly missed by a bounding stone which was thrown on tho track and struck his car. The stone struck the track and new up; the car going at something llko bullet speed, stopped It, but had tho missile been a few inches higher Strang would have received It in the face. Hugh Harding's car overturned when he was going at a terrific rato near the Mnrislnl lodge. The steering gear went wrong, but the pilot nnd his mechnnlc jumped barely in time to save themselves. The terrific pace set by Knipper, who led most of the way, tried tho cars hard and several cars were stopped when different parts of the machines broke down. Knipper avoided a bad spill when he made a turn on one wheel. Mitchell came to grief In his Maxwell through a broken crank shaft. Other broken machinery laid out the rest. Teddy May Return Soon. Porto Maurizlo, Italy, Cable: After having spent some time In Florence, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied, by her sister, Mrs. Carrow, have returned to Mrs. Carrow's villa here.

LANDS SHANK A WINNER IN INDIANAPOLIS RACE. G, 0. P, MADE STRONG RALLY Taggart Worked Hard for Democratic Victory, But South Side Failed To Support Candidate. Indianapolis, Special: Victory came to the Republicans Tuesday nt the darkest hour of the contlict for control of the city. Face to face with what seemed certainty of defeat, they rallied and just before the polls were votes to give Samuel Lewis Shank, their mayorality candidate, a plurality of 1,585. So sure were the backers of Representative Charles A. Gauss, Democrat, of his election as Mayor that they offered 10 to 7 all day that he would win. The betting was bo one-sided that it created the impression that there was nothing to the game but an absolute cinch for the Democrats. National Commltteman Taggart, whose activity put Gauss In the running ten days ago, when hardly a soul thought he had a ghost of a show, waB the big noise of the Democratic organization. He Bcemed to be everywhere directing his followers. After completing a second tour of the voting a second tour of the voting places late in the day he expressed the opinion that it was a horse race between the two Mayorality candidates. At the critical period the Republicans put on an extra head of steam. The word went out from headquarters to get in tho rest of the votes, and It is believed that the work between 4 and C o'clock saved tho day for Shank. The unofficial returns give Shank 27,170, Gauss 25,702. It is believed that Collins, Rep., for Police Judge; Ramsey, Rep., for City Clerk, and tho entire Republican councilmanic ticket has been elected by pluralities ranging from 3,000 to 3,500. Gauss fell down on tho South Side, which wps expected to give him a majority of 6,000. Shank was slaughtered right and left in many of the North Side precincts, where the Republicans usually get their votes. Two of the Important elements entering Into Shank's election were Democratic disaffection on the South Side nnd Mr. Shank's own popularity among the laboring classes of the city. In tho precincts where there is a heavy working population, factory districts for example, Shank ran well. Tho Seventh Precinct of the Fourth ward is an illustration in point. It gavo Shank 301 votes and Gauss 311. Under any normal conditions it would he Democratic by 200. Shank's good fellowship and his "hail fellow well met" bearing helped him to roll up a large vote in the precincts where laboring men live. He made a strong showing among the "common" people. Shank asserted that he finished the fight without promising any one a job or without making any alliances that will bo embarrassing. Ho repeated that he will consult with the various commercial bodies of the city regarding the appointment of his boards ami that he proposes to carry out his campaign pledges. The result of the election here Is of State-wide significance. Thousands of Republicans were vitally concerned because of the fear that the election of a Democratic Mayor would injure Senator Beveridge as a candidate for re-election next year.

Worn By a Woman, It Blocks a Pass in the Alps. Berne, Cable: One of the papers of the Bernese Oberland relates an amusing incident said to have occurred in tho Aar gorges, near Moringen. It appears that a fashionable dame, wearing tho huge hat which fashion Imposes upon her devotees, failed to pass through a narrow gorge with her headgear. The hat stuck between tho two walls nnd refused to bo moved. A party of tourists coming up behind had to wait until the obstruction was cleared away. Eventually the wearer of the monstrous hat was obliged to take it off and let the mere men of the party wrench it free. Hard on Louis. Llbby, Mont, Special: Louis w.

With tears streaming down her face she rushed back to the platform to know if it were really true. Shaking hands with Judge Witten and all his deputies, she sang in Joy. She had worked nights in a hotel to pay her way to Aberdeen. She sat up days to hear her name, but when it was called she had fallen asleep. The drawing of tho 20,000 names ended last week, Corinne, of Clark City, Iowa, being the last.
