WOWS VOTE NOT
EITHER PARTY'S GAIN
Republican Fear That They
Would Help Wilson Not
Well Founded
CHICAGO, III., Nov. 7. Chicago women
did their part toward electing Hughes, and
the extensive belief that the women would
vote for Wilson In masses was not upheld,
From the start of the count the Hughes
women led Wilson women.
It Is true that the percentage of women
voting for Hughes was not quite as large
as the percentage of men for Hughes, but
it was not far behind. Judging from the
early returns, the Republican women will
lead the Democratic women by about 8000
In the city.
Almost every registered woman voted.
As far as the early returns showed, more
than ninety-five psr cent of the registered
women went to the polls. The estimated
vote of the women In Chicago Is 2JO.O0O,
The registration of women Is J02.69B.
In numerous precincts there were a few
more women voting for Wilson than men.
That was true particularly In the 25th
Aard. a strong Republican ward. In the
64th precinct, for Instance, there were 115
Wilson women to 90 men for Wilson.
Republican women were Jubilant over
the results In Chlcsgo. They feared the
kept us out of war" slogan. In club and
suffrage circles the Wilson talk was strong.
But when It came to the rank and file, the
women turned to Hughes.
Members of the National Woman's party,
which fought Wilson becauso of his atti
tude on the national suffrage question, were
particularly Joyous. After hearing the re
suit of the woman's vote In Illinois, Miss
Alice Paul, national chairman of tho Con
gressional Union, who has had charge of
the campaign of the party, made the fol
lowing statement:
We feel after this rerus.il to vote for
the man who has blocked national woman
suffrage that the passage of the Ffderal
amendment Is amured nnd that no Presi
dent or party ever ngnln would dare to
ignore tho Just claims of the women of tho
nation to their suffrage rights
"After our efforts In this and other suf
frage States, and the reports of the response
woman voters were making to the appeal of
the National Woman's party, we felt no
doubt as to the rosult In this State."
Oovernor and Mrs. Dunno with their
daughter. Miss Mona Dunne, went early to
a polling place, where Mis Dunne marked
her first DOlltlCal ballot nf nnv kln.l nn.l
Mrs. Dunno her first ballot for the presl-.
,..w. uuui .urn, iiinne ana ner daughter
were In the booth less than a mlnuto. The
Governor took conslderaKy longer.
"It was Indeed a thrilling and impressive
experience to be voting for President." de
clared Miss Jane Addams after she had
cast her vote for Wilson. "I believe that
every voting woman ln Chicago Is feeling
moved and thrilled by the experience, which
Is one of deep significance."
According to declarations of Mrs. Ray
mond Robins, who cast her voto for
Hughes, the big vote which women In
Illinois cast will show to politicians of other
States without suffrage as yet tho keen
Interest women are taking in politics and
will prompt them to aid In the passage
of Buch legislation In their own States.

HEART OF THE SUNSET
By REX DEACH
Copyrtoht. tilt, lu llarwr flro!Sr.
CII.WTKII XX11I (Cnntlnned)
BEHIND him he heard the hum of an
approaching motor, and he turned ,to
behold a car racing along the road ho had
Just traveled The machine was running fast,
as a long streamer of choking dust gave
evidence, and Dave soon recognised It as
belonging to Jonesvllle's prosecuting at
torney. As It tore past him Its owner
Bhouted something, but the words were
lost. In tho automobile with tho driver
were sevpral passengers, and one of these
llkewlns called to Dave and seeml to mo
tion him to follow. When the machine
slowed down a half-mile ahead and veered
abruptly Into trjo I.M Palmas gateway,
Dave lifted Montrosa to a run, worderlng
what pressing necessity could have Induced
the prosecuting attorney to risk bucIi a
reckless burst of speed.
Davo told himself that ho was unduly
apprehensive; that Strange'n warnings had
worked upon his nerves. Nevertheless, he
continued to ride so hard that almost be
fore the dust had settled he, too, turned
Into the shade of the palms.
Yes, there was excitement here! some
thing was evidently very much amiss, Judg
ing from the groups of ranch hanl as
sembled upon the porch. They werclus
tercd about the doors nnd windows, peering
In. Prlefly they turned their faces toward
Law; then they crowded cloer, and he
perceived that they were not talking. Some
of them had removed their hats nnd held
them In their hands.
Dave's knees shook under him as he dis
mounted; for one sick, giddy Instant the
scene swam before his eyes; then ho ran
toward the houso and up the steps. Ho
tried to frame a question, but his lips were
stiff with fright. Heedless of those In his
path, he forced his way Into the house, then
down tho hall toward an open door,
through which ho saw a room full of peo
ple. Krom somewhere came the shrill wall
ing of a woman; the house was full ot
hushed voices and whisperings. Dave had
but one thought. From the depths of his
being a voice called Alalre's name until
his brain rang with It.
A bed was In the room, and around It
was gathered a group of white-faced peo
ple. With rough hands Ijiw cleared a way
for himself, and then stopped, frozen In
his tracks. His nrms relaxed, his Angers
unclenched, a great sigh whistled slowly
from his lungs. llefore him, booted,
spurred and fully dressed, lay the dead body
of Ed Austin.
Dave was still staring at the master of
Las Palmas when the prosecuting attorney
spoke to him.
"dod! This Is terrible. Isn't It?" he
said. "He must have died Instantly."
"Who did It?"
"We don t know yet. Renlto found him
nnd brought him In. Ho hasn't been dead
an hour."
Law ran his eyes over tho room, and
then asked sharply, "Where Is Mrs, Aus
tin?" He was answered by Renlto Gonzales,
who had edged closer. "She's not hero,
senor."
"Havo you notified her?"
Renlto shrugged 'There haa been no
time. It all happened so quickly "
Somo 0110 Interrupted, nnd Dave saw that
It was tha local sheriff evidently It was
he who had waved from the speeding ma
L'hin a few moments before.
"I'm glad you're here, Dave, for you can
give me a hand. I'm going to round up
these Mexicans right nway nnd find out
what they know Whoever did It hasn't
gono far; so you act as my deputy nnd
see what you can learn."
When Dave had regained better control
nf himself he took Renlto outdoors and de
manded full detalh of tho tragedy. With
many lamentations and Incoherences, the
range boss told what he knew.
Ed had met his death within a half
mile of Las Palmns as he rode home for
dinner. Renlto, himself on his wny to the
house, had found the body, still warm,
near the edge of the pecan grove. He had
retained enough sense to telephone at onco
to Joneavllle, and then Benito hardljj know
what he had done since then, he was so
badly shaken by the tragedy.
"What time did It happen?"
"It was noon when I cams In "
I'ave crnri'lted his watch and waj tur
jrltcd to dUcover It was nr only a few
minutes part one. It was evident, tlu-it-fore
that Renlto had Indeed lost no time
and that nil alarm had met with instant
response.
"Now, tell me, who did I'?"
Ilenlto flung his hnnds high. "Ood knows I
Soma enemy, of course; but Din E'lunrdo
had many."
"Not that sort of enemies. ThTf was
nobody who could wish to kill him."
"That Is as It is."
"Haven't you any suspicions?"
"No, senor."
"You say Mrs. Austin is gone?"
"Yes.'"
"Where?''
"I don't know."
Dave spoke brusquely; "Come, Renlto;
you must know, for your wife went with
her. Are you trying to keep something
bark?"
"No, not As Ood Is my Judge 1" Renlto
dclared. "I didn't know they were going
until the very last, and even then Dolores
would tell me nothing. We were having
bad times here at Las Palmas; there were
stormy scenes yonder In the house, Senor
Ed was drinking .again, you understand?
The senora had reason to go."
"You think she ran away to escape him?"
"Exactly." ..
Dave breathed more easily, for this
seemed to settle Strange's theory. The
next Instant, however, his apprehensions
were doubled, for Ilenlto added:
"No doubt she went to La Kerla."
I,aw uttered au Incredulous' exclamation.
"Not there! Surely she wouldn't go to
La Ferla at such a time. Why, that
country Is ablate. Americans are fleeing
from Mexico."
"I hadn't .thought of that," Renlto con
fessed, "Rut If she didn't go there, where
did she go? Paints above! It's a flne con
dition of affairs when a wife keeps secrets
from her husband, eh? I suppose Dolores
feared I would tell Don Kduardo, Ood rest
his soul I This much I do know, however
not long ago there came a letter from
General Longorio, offering settlement for
tbM oattle he stole in bis government's
nuu. Betores tok m tfea ten era was
kMMr it "
lor hit
roWe
friend, an ardent admirer " Ilenlto winked.
"Dolores told mo all about that, too, No,
1 think they went to La Kerla."
Davo remembered his first conversation
with Phil Strange nnd the fortune teller's
Insistence that some powerful person was
behind Joso Sanchez. Moro than threo
weeks ago Strange had forecast something
very like this murder of Ed Austin.
Davo felt as if he were the victim of an
hysterical Imagination. Nevertheless, ho
forced himself to ask quietly.
"Is Jose Sanchez anywhere nbout?"
The range boss Bhrugged. "I sent him
to the east pasture this morning."
"Did he go?" '
"Eh? Sot You suspect Jose of this. Ood
In heaven I Joso Is a wild boy But
wait I I'll nsk Juan If ho saw him; yes,
nnd Victoria, too. That Is Victoria you
hear squalling In the kitchen. Walt here."
Benito hurried nway, leaving Dave a prey
to perplexity; but he was bnck again In a
few moments. His face was grave.
"Jose did not go to the east pasture." he
said.
"Where Is he now?"
"No one seems to know,"
Law walked to his horse, mounted and
galloped nway. Benito, who watched him.
saw that ho turned toward the river road
which led to the Las Palmas pumping plant.
The moro Dave thought about Ed Austin's
death, the more certain he became that It
was In some way connected with Alalre's
disappearance: and the loose end by which
the tangle might be unraveled, It seemed
to him, Uy in the hands of Rosa Morales,
Jose'a sweetheart. That Sanchez was the
murderer Dave now had little doubt ; but
since tho chance of npprehendlng lum was
small, ho turned his attention to the girl.
He would make Rosa spenk, he told him
self. If he had to use force this was no
time for gentle methods. If she knew
aught of Alalre's whereabouts or the mys
tery of her departure from Las Palmas, he
would And a wny to wring the truth from
her. Dave's face, a trlflo too somber at all
times, took on a grimmer aspect now; he
felt a slow fury kindling In his breast.
Years of experience had taught him to
be always alert, nen during his moments
of deepest preoccupation and so, from
force of habit, when he came to the pump
house road he carefully scanned It In the
dust were fresh hoofprlnts leading toward
the rUcr. Now he knew this road to be
seldom used, and therefore he wondered
who could bo -Idlng It at a gallop In this
blistering midday heat. A few rods farther
on and his quick eye detected something
else something that brought him from his
saddle. Out of the rut he picked a cigarette
butt, the Are of which was cold but the
paper of which was still wet from the
smoker's lips. He examined It carefully;
then ho remounted and rode on, pondering
Its slgnlAcance.
Dave loped out of the thicket nnd straight
across the clearing of the Morales house.
Leaving Montrosa's reins hanging, he
opened the door and entered without knock
ing. Rosa appeared In the opening of an
other door, her eyes wide with fright at
this apparition, and Dave saw that she was
dressed in her finest, as it for a holiday
or for a Journey.
"Where's your father?" he demanded,
"He's gone to Sangre do Crlsto. What
do you want?"
"When did he go?"
"This morning, early. He "
"Who's been hero Blnco ho left?"
Rosa was recovering from her first sur
prise, nnd now her black brows drew to
gether In linger. "No one has come. You
are the flrst. And ,havo you no manners
to strldo Into a respectable house ?"
Dave broke In harshly. "Rosa, you're
Ivlnir. Jose Sanchez has been here within
an hour. Where Is he?" When the girl
only grew whiter and raised a hand to her
breast he stepped toward her, crying, "An
swer me!"
Rosa recoiled, nnd the breath caught In
her throat like a sob, "I'll tell you noth
ing." she said In a thin voice. Then she
began to tremble. "Why do you want
Jose?"
"You know why. lie Kiuea iron t'.auarao,
and then he rode here. Cornel I know
everything."
"Lies! Lies I" Rosa's voice grew shrill.
"Out of this house! 1 know you. It was
you who betrayed PanAlo. and his blood
Is on your hands, assassin!" With the Isst
word she made as If to retreat, but Dave
was too quick; he seized her, and for an
Instnnt they struggled breathlessly.
Dave had reasoned beforehand that his
only chance of discovering anything from
this girl lay In utterly terrorizing her and
in proflt.ng by her Arst panic; therefore
he pressed his advantage. He succeeded
better than he had da led to hope.
"Vou know who killed Senor Ed," he
cried Aercely. "The fortune-teller read your
plans, and there Is no use to deny It."
Rosa screamed again; she writhed; she
tried to sink her teeth Into her captor's
flesh In her body was the strength of a
full-grown man, and Dave could hardly hold
her. But suddenly, as the two scuffled,
from the back room of the house came a
sound which caused Pave to release the girl
as abtuptly as he had seized her It was
the clink and tinkle of Mexican spurs upon
a wooden floor.

WITHOUT an Instant's hesitation Dave
flung himself past Rosa and through
the Inner door,
Jose Sanchez met him with a shout; th
shock of the'r collision overbore the lighter
man, and the two went down together,
arms and legs Intertwined. The horse
breaker flred tils revolver blindly a deafen
ing explosion Inside those four walla but
he was -powerless against his antagonist's
strength and ferocity. It required but a
moment for Law to master him, to wrench
the weapon from his grasp, and then, with
the aid of Jose's silk neck scarf, to bind his
wrists tightly,
From the front of the little house came
tha crash ot a door violently slammed as
Rosa profited by the diversion to save her
self. When Anally Jose stood, panting and
snarling, his back to the wall, Dave re
garded him with a slnlsttr contraction of
the lips that was almost a grin. '

UNCERTAIN ELECTION
DECISION MATCHED BY
HISTORIC PARALLELS
Snmc Doubt Provnilcd After
Tilden-IInycs nnd Clcvelnnd-
Blnine Cnmpnlgng in
1876 nnd 1884
TENSE FEELING FOR DAYS
The undecided outcome of the battle of
ballots between President Woodrow Wilson
nnd Chnrles Kvans Hughes recalls two
previous close elections that of Rutherford
B. Hayes, Republican, over Samuel J. Til
den. Democrat, In 18?6. which was not de
cided for months, and that of Orover Cleve
land, Democrat, over James O Blaine, Re
publican, In 1SII, which was not conArmed
for two days.
To this day Democrnta maintain that
Tllden was wrongfully kept from the presi
dency, and tha nftermath of the momentous
decision, which was made by a special elec
toral commission, created by an act of Con
gress, was a general conviction that, while
technically Hayes was elected, morally Tll
den was the victor. Hayes was chosen by
the margin of one electoral vote, according
to the findings of the commission.
The election of 1884, which went to Cleve
land by the small margin of 104? popular
otes, bears the closer analogy to the pres
ent situation, as flrst reports, then as now,
had It that the Republicans had swept tho
country.
THR HAYKS-TILDEN ISSUR
In tho moro prolonged election finale of
1S76 charges of fraud and Illegality were
mndo by tho Democrats, and feeling ran
high. Tllden, a New Yorker, opposed
Hayes, who was from Ohio, nnd apparently
was elected. A dispute arose over the con-
dieting electoral certlflcates of Louisiana,
Florida, Oregon and South Carolina. One
set, advocated by the Democrats, would
have elected Tllden ; the other set. backed
by the Republicans, meant the election of
Hayes. The certificates named by the Re
publican party as authentic were technically
the legal ccrtlAcates, but the Democrats nl
leged that, particularly In Ioulslaua. frauds
had accomplished the election of the Re
publican electors. Thousands of Democratic
otos were thrown out by the Republican
returning bunrds. they maintained.
For a time charges flew thick and fast,
nnd fcnrlng a violent outbreak, Congress
took action. The House of Representatives
at that time was Democratic and tho Senate
Republican. The combined houses by an
net npproved January 29, 1877, created the
Electoral Commission, consisting of Ave
Senators. Ave representatives and flvo as
sociate Justices of the United States Su
preme Court. This body, with the exception
of one Justice, was chosen on strictly par
tisan lines. The Republican Senate named
threo Republican and two Democratic Sen
ntors, tho Democratic House of Represen
tatives named three Democrat and two Re
publican Representatives and the two
houses, In conjunction, named two Repub
lican nnd two Democratic Justices. The
flfth Justlro nnd Anal member of the com
mission was chosen by the four Justices.
He was a Republican.
This commission's verdict was to be Ir
revocable unless both houses of Congress
dissented.
After a memorable scries of hearings, In
which the rlvnl parties were represented by
tho best legal talent In the country, the
election was awarded to Hayes, 185 to 184
electoral votes. The ballot of the com
mission showed that It voted nlong partisan
lines, tho vote In tho case of each State
In question being 8 to 7, which was the
ratio of Republicans to Democrats on the
board. Tho House of Representatives oh
Jected to tho decision, but the Senato ap
proved It The case was ended.
The crux of the situation waa whether
or not the commission had the power to
Inquire Into the alleged frauds committed
before the electoral certlflcates were Issued.
It decided In tho negative The board was
composed of Justices Clifford, Strong, Mil
ler. Flold and Bradley, tho Inst named being
the fifteenth member; Senators Kdmumln,
Morton. Frellnghuysen, Bayard and Ker
nan, who took the place of Senator Thur
man, who waa 111, and Representative))
Payne, Hunton, Abbott, Garfield and Hoar.
The Democrats evinced great dissatisfac
tion at tho decision. Tllden rerelved the
verdict with dignity. Ho declined the
Democratic nominations In 1880 and 1884.
THR CLEVELAND VICTORY
Cleveland's victory over Blaine, which be
came known two days after the election,
was the climax of the most bitter presi
dential campaign In the history of the coun
try. The Democrats accused tho brilliant
and magnetic Blaine of personnl nnd polit
ical dishonesty. Blaine, who had been
Hayes's rlvnl fur the Republican nomina
tion In 1876 and the rival of Grant nnd
(larfleld In 1880, retaliated with nt tacks on
the character of Cleveland Personal nn
tagonlsm arose to a fever height and malig
nant accusations unparalleled In American
politics were mado in regard to tho private
lives of both candidates.
Late (in election night the Republicans,
basing their claim on early returns, an
nounced n landslide for Blaine,
This was accepted as llnnl until returns
shewed a surprising trend townrd Cleve
land, whose vigorous and Independent per
sonality had attracted the support of the
"mugwumps," or Independent Republicans
Tho day alter elevtlon Blalnex' lead had
been cut down so sharply that the result
of tho election hinged on the vote In New
York State, which two years before had
chesen Cleveland Oovernor by the then
tremendous plurality of 192.0(10. On the
second day leturns showed that New York
had yielded him a small plurality swing ng
to him a majority of thlrty-seen electoral
ctes and the presidency.
ISAAC II. CLOTHIEIl IN LINE
Sevcnty-nlnc-Year-Old Union Leaguer
Marches in Parade
Probably the oldest man In the line of
the marching Union League early this morn
ing was Isaac II, Clothier, who has Just
passed his seventy-ninth birthday
Mr. Clothier was one of the founders of
the Republican Invinulbles In 1860, and
marched with them the flrt night they ever
paraded, as well as nearly every night
nfterward, till Abraham Lincoln's election.
He walked every foot of the distance last
night, and seemed as fresh at the finish as
at the start,

LESS WATER NEEDED;
BUREAU GEIS CHANCE
TO OVERHAUL PLANTS
City's Demand Fulls Off 40,-
000,000 Gallons From High
Mnrk Set in Hot AugUBt
Days
SUMMER TASK SEVERE
, .! "
IM
,
For the first time In months tho city
Rureau of Water Is able to furnish a sup
ply adequate to the demand. Th Hemand
has dropped from thirty to forty million
gallons a day from the high mark of
840.000,000 gallons In the closing days ot
August, nnd the difference makes It possible
for the pumping stations and flltratloa
plants to keep ahreaat of consumption.
The dally supply now Is considerably
above normal, as this time last year the
dally consumption waa well below I00,.
000,000 gallons. The radical drop. how.
ever, conies as a welcome relief to Chief
Carleton K. Davis and his corps of engi
neers nnd nslstants, and advantage Is being
taken of present conditions to make very
much-needed repairs and to overhaul th
machinery In a number of plants.
HARD WORK IN SUMMRR
During the summer months, when th
dally consumption was In the neighbor
hood of 840.000,000 gallons and sections
of Houth Philadelphia were -complaining of
the Inadequacy of tho supply, many oX the
plants were worked nt top speed nnd pres
sure, and as a result few shutdowns for
repairs wero msde. The strain at times
was terrific nnd tho need for overhauling
became Imperntlvo as the dally demands
upon the eytscm lessened.
The new sedimentation basin at Tor
resdale hns been proving its value during
the unprecedented demand made upon the
water works. With the exception of a
short time this autumn tho river water
has been running unusually clear and' haa
been 'unusually free from bacteria. This
basin, Chief Davis claims, ndds an addi
tional safeguard to the purity of the -water
and takes oft a certain load from the
filters.
TO UNCOVER OLD MAIN
A 800-foot length of forty-elght-lnch steel
pipe Is about to bo uncovered on Emerald
street between Lehigh avenue and Somerset
street, The durability of steel pipe, as
compared with ca?t Iron, has been a much
discussed question. This will afford U
the engineers n chance to estimate the con
dition of the pltie .that has been burled ten
years. There nro now In service about
twenty miles of forty-elght-lnch steel pipe,
these being the -principal mains carrying
water from Ijirdner's Tolnt to the central
and southern sections of the city.
Director Dalesman hns Just awarded a
contract for the extension of the high pre
sure Are system to cover the territory from
Rroad street to .Seventeenth, and from
Spring CJurden to Callowhlll street Thla
extension, affording protection to the Bald
win Locomotive Works, will be mnde at
very little expense to the city, na the Water
Rureau already had on hand virtually all
the special pipe and fittings necessary for
tho work. These pipe and fittings were held
as reserve to make emergency repairs, but
practice hns shown that more stock was
carried for this purpose than was neces
sary. It has thus been possible to put ,
thlB pipe to useful service and perhaps pre
vent a disastrous conflagration.
It Is an interesting commentary that th
Introduction of the high pressure Are sys
tem has materially reduced the volume of
business done by safe manufacturers In this
city.
GASOLINE LIGHTING DIDS
Only Ono Firm Submits Rato Aaks
$3G Per Lamp Per Year
Only one company submitted .a .bid for
the lighting of gasollno lamps throughout
the city for tho new year when tho bids
were opened by the Dureau of Lighting
today The Welsbach Street Lighting Com
pany of America was the bidder.
Its hid called for (36 per lamp per
year, on n basis of twenty-cent gasoline.
Tha city's contract, however, calls for a
reduction of M per lamp for each corre
sponding reduction of one cent per gallon ln
the prlco of gasoline during the year. The
city Is at present paying Z9 per lamp at
an annual cost of $594,000. Of the 20,500
gasoline lamps now In use ln the city,
11,200 wilt be replaced next year by gas,
and tho cost for lighting will be reduced to
1455,000.
