One-Half of the 3,000 Members of the Manufacturers' Association Expect to Add to Their Present Force More Than 200,003 Men American Indus tries Figures on That Basis That 13,000 Manufactories Employing Over 100 Men Each Will Increase Force 60 Per Cent. The National Association of Manu facturers publishes In the American In dustries, Its official magazine, a con tinuation of the statements on trade conditions contributed by Its 3,090 members representing every branch of Industry. Telegrams were Bent out prior to the election to a number of the as sociation's members asking them to state specifically how many working men would be added to their present force by Dec. 1 If nothing occurred to shake commercial confidence. A re sume of the information contained In these replies Is also given by the maga zine as follows: "The percentage of replies received Indicates that an average of 135 men each will be added to the majority of manufacturing plants In the associa tion by Dec. 1. The percentages show that at least one-half of the 3,000 mem bers of the National Association of Manufacturers expect to add to their present force more than 200,000 men. "Taking this as a basis," says the article, "it is safe to assume that the 13.000 manufactories which, according to the census of 1900, employed an av erage each of 100 men or over will add at leaBt 50 per cent to their present force, making a total In round figures of 650,000 men. In other words, with the continuance of business confidence, the Important manufacturing Inter ests of the country will be enabled to Increase their present force by more than half a million working men to meet the market demands for their productions. "In securing this Information Demo cratic and Republican manufacturers alike were addressed. No attempt was made to limit the canvass to any par ticular Industry or to any particular section of the country and the queries sent toSianuf-icturers were based sole ly on actual business conditions and business possibilities for the future. "Although this information, showing rs It does, in concrete and convincing form, the real proofs of a returning prosperity, was secured prior to the election, it wns not used because of the association's desire to avoid any semblances of partisanship."

Since Carmack Was efeated In Gu bernatorial Primary He Has Severely Criticised the Democratic Machine In His Paper During His Senatori al Career, Which Ended Last Year, He Was Well Known and Liked In Washington. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 10. Former United States Senator Edward Ward Carmack, editor of the Tennesseean, was shot and killed In Seventh ave nue North, In front of the Polk flats, by Robin Cooper, a son of Colonel Duncan C. Cooper. Mr. Carmack was going north In Seventh avenue and Colonel Cooper and his son were ap proaching Seventh avenue in Union street. Soon after they came In sight of one another, the shooting began. Rob In Cooper, It Is said, fired two shots and Senator Carmack one. Colonel Duncan Cooper, It is said, drew a pis tol but did not fire. Senator Carmack fell to the ground with the trio of shots, dying Instant ly. Robin Cooper was shot In the right shoulder, but was not severely hurt. It Is Baid that the trouble Is on of the results of the recent Democratic gubernatorial primary In which Car mack was defeated. Carmack had, since he became editor of the Ten nesseean. been rather caustic in ad versely criticising what he called the Democratic machine and had printed several editorials about Col. Cooper. Within the last few days, It Is said, Colonel Cooper told Carmack that these editorial criticisms must cease. Yesterday another editorial reference to Colonel Cooper appeared In the Ten nesseean. and this is supposed to have been the immediate cause of the trouble. As soon as Senator Carmack fell on the edge of the street curbing, Col onel Duncan Cooper put his arm around Robin Cooper and both walk ed a few feet down Seventh avenue to Dr. R. G. Fort's office, where the wound In Robin's shoulder was treat ed. Dr. Fort said that the wound was slight. An ambulance carried the body of Mr. Carmack to an undertaking estab lishment. The pistol of Mr. Carmack was found lying at his side with two chambers empty, and It was turned over to an officer. The stump of a cigar that Mr. Carmack had been smoking was also found on the walk beside his body. Young Cooper was later carried to a hospital and Colonel Cooper was held at police headquarters. Robin Coop er Is an attorney, 27 years old, and un married. SERVED IN BOTH HOUSES. In the Senate He Made a Number of Brilliant Speeches. Washington, Nov. 10.

Her Quick Wit and Bravery Saved Postmaster Morgan. New York, Nov. 10. Edward M. Morgan, postmaster of New York city, who was wounded In the abdomen by a bullet fired by E. H. B. Mackay, an eccentric English stenographer, who then committed suicide, is resting well, and unless complications de velop he will recover. Mr. Morgan probably owes his life to the quick wit and bravery of his 14-year-old daughter, Dorothy, who saw Mackay draw his revolver, and struck It with her hand. This deflected the bullet, otherwise the postmaster would have been fatally wounded, for his as sailant was at close rang and fired lour shots In all. The shooting or rurred at 146th street and only a short distance from Mr. Morgan's home. He was on his way down town at the time. An investigation of the life and rec ord of Mackay reveals that he was of a morbid nature and a former Inmate of an asylum In Worcester, Mass. That his act was premeditated Is made certain bv a letter he left, but aside from a fancied grievance against Mr. Morgan and the postoffice authorities concerning the handling of his mall nothing has come to light to Indicate why he should have sought to murder the postmaster.

A quantity of literature on social lem and a siungshot similar to the one found on the body were discovered In his room.
