CONTROL OF CONGRESS.

Fewer Voters Left Washington This
Year Than Usual Exception Was
In New York State President Voted
at Oyster Bay Fair Weather In
the East.
Washington, Nov. 6. The campaign
In 42 states for the election of the
60th congress passed into history last
night. Besides the congressional bal
loting, 23 states elect governors, Ari
zona and New Mexico will accept or
reject a jointure in statehood, Okla
homa and the Indian Territory will
adopt a state constitution, and 20
states will choose legislatures which
in turn will elect United States sena
tors. The United States weather bureau
predicted fair weather for election
day throughout the East, Middle
West and South, with moderate tem
perature; rain in Minnesota and the
Dakotas, and cold and snow in -Wyoming,
Montana and the Interior of
Washington and Oregon.
President Roosevelt, who yearly sets
the example of good citizenship by
going from Washington to Oyster Bay
to cast his vote, left the White House
on this pilgrimage last midnight. He
will return today and arrangements
have been made as usual to keep him
posted at the White House of the elec
tion returns.
The district in which the president
votes nominally is Democratic.
Most of the cabinet officers have
done strenuous work and several of
them will find It convenient to be at
their homes to vote today. From all
reports, however, fewer voters have
gone home from Washington this year
to vote than In any congressional
year for a decade. This is owing
largely to the fact that free transpor
tation has been cut off and that elec
tion rates on the railroads are higher
than they have been before.
The single exception to this rule is
in case of the New York voters. Con
sidering the expense a remarkably
large number of Empire State voters
resident in Washington went home to
vote.
The congressional predictions by the
Republican and Democratic congres
sional committees with headquarters
respectively In New York and Wash
ington remnin the same as the "finals"
announced a few days ago. The Re
publicans claim the next house by 50;
the Democrats claim it by 22.

BEHEADED BY ELEVATOR.
3lrl Puts Her Head Through Gate Win
dow; Car Drops Upon It.
Pittsburg, Nov. C. Beheaded by an
elevator as if by a guillotine was the
distressing accident which befell Miss
Maud G. Weaver, aged 23, at the Fort
Pitt hotel Sunday afternoon at 4
o'clock. Death was instantaneous.
The accident occurred at the third
floor of the hotel. There Is a window
In the gate of the service elevator, not
used by guests of the hotel, and as
the glass had been broken out Miss
Weaver must have put her head
through the opening to see where the
elevator was.
While her neck was resting on the
slender sill of the window down came
the elevator with a rush, chopping oft
most of the girl's head and hurling It
down the shaft to the basement. The
victim's body fell backward upon the
floor and the elevator operator, having
seen her fall, stopped the car and
hurried back to see what had hap
pened. Miss Weaver was a house maid at
the hotel. While working on tho third
floor she had been summoned to the
sixth. Instead of ringing tho bell It
Is believed she put her head through
the window to locate the elevator, ap
parently believing It was some dis
tance away. The elevator shaft wa3
dark and nothing could be seen. Death
must have come before the girl had a
chance to realize the peril of her
method of locating the elevator.
Samuel Elbert, the young man lu
charge of tho elevator, says he Is cer
tain that the bell was not rung for
him to stop nt the third floor. As he
could not see the girl, he says he had
no means of knowing she was there,
lie will be called to testify at the cor
oner's inquest.
Scarcity of Platinum.
Cleveland, Nov. C. Tho price of
false teeth Is mounting at on alarming,
rate as the result of a scarcity of plati
num. The last month the Increase
has been more than $1 per set. Since
dentistry has reached Its present stage
of perfection it has been almost Im
possible to supply tho increasing de
mand for artificial teeth. Platinum is
used in pinning the porcelain tooth to
the plate. It is the only metal that
will resist the great heat necessary to
fuse the porcelain. For similar rea
sons platinum Is the only substance
that can be used In the manufacture
of electrical contact points and con
ductors, and this industry is one
cause of the shortage.
