An audience of 7,000 persons listened raptly for one hundred minutes with frequent Interruptions for applause. "To-night," he said, "the city of Harrisburg stinks to heaven—stinki worse than a run I used to know in Illinois that (lowed past barnyards, sewers, breweries and reeking places. It smells with a num\er of stinks and the first stink of your city is that of Sabbath desecration. than 50 per cent, of your people attend church on Sunday and the rest spend the day as a holiday or on picnics, auto rides or pleasure excursions. The chaotic con ditions in this country to-day are the direct result of the desecration of the Sabbath. Saloon Most Damnable "The second stink In your city Is that of Intemperance. The saloon is the most damnable ever let loose from hell." He told of a drunken spree after election in which the man, his wife and family were all drunk and had almost killed the 2-year-old baby by giving it whisky with a teaspoon. "God help me to do my duty," he declared. "I'm fighting and need your help, so bury your little superficial criticisms and get In line." He spoke of the ill-smelling stream of Immorality in the city and men tioned the "nasty little streetwalkers." He said: "They Infest th© winerooms, and the ladies' entrances at some of your hotels, as anybody knows who Is at all familiar with the life In your city." Doesn't Want to Pollute Sinners The sermon was based on the "new cruse" with which the stream of watei near Jericho was purified by the Prophpet Elijah.

S. W. Fleming, assistant postmaster, said this afternoon that the way things are going now it looks as though the addition will not be finished for at least two years. The reason for this is that the contractor does not have the new plans that are necessary since the increase In the appropriation from $125,000 to $200,000 was made. This Increase made It possible to erect two more stories to the annex and the plans for these have not been made and given to the contractor, who cannot go ahead without them. \ Buying Opportunities Readjustments in the various merchandise markets have brought many opportunities. While In some Instances prices have risen, in others there have been great cutting of quotations due to the fact that the holders of goods desire to liquidate. This liquidation Is not un healthy. It merely means that com merce Is readjusting itself to new conditions. But the fact that such price fluctuations exist make it more than usually important that peo ple post themselves before buy ing; In other words— It will pay your pocketbook to study the advertising In the Telegraph. TAMMANY HALL IS AGAIN IN SADDLE AT NATIONAL CAPITAL Balance of Democratic Power in House Lies With "Boss" Murphy BIG REPUBLICAN GAIN Even Democrats Admit That Great Majority of Voters Favor Protection Washington, D. C., Nov. s.—Badly beaten In New York, Charles F. Mur phy, boss of Tammany Hall, neverthe less, will be in complete control of Congress as a result of Tuesday's elec tions. The Democratic majority in the House, late returns show, has been reduced to 17 votes. The votes by which the Democratic Administration still controls the operation of the House represent nearly the full strength of Tammany Hall In that body. Not a single legislative measure will be possible of enactment in the Sixty fourth session of Congress, therefore, without the consent of Charles F. Murphy, the boss whom William Jen nings Bryan, now Secretary of State, read out of the Democratic party at the Baltimore convention. Landslide Greater The Republican landslide, resulting from the protest of the voters against the destruction of the protective tariff principle and the vicious attacks on business, has taken on bigger propor tions as delayed returns comes In. It !s now certain that In addition to the Republican sweep in Pennsylva nia, New York, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey and other Eastern States, there has been a com plete victory in Ohio and a decimation of Democratic strength throughout the West. The one big fact that stands out from the returns is that the Progress ive party has performed an amazing disappearing act. Scarcely a vestige of Colonel Roosevelt's once formidable party remains. The Republican re union may be said to be virtually com plete. The evidence of renewed power which has been given by the Republi can party, virtually without any di recting head, doubtless will bring the stragglers back to the ranks so that a united front may be presented In 1916. National Issue In Ohio Prank B. Willis has been elected Governor of Ohio. His election was unexpected. The Republicans believed they had a chance to capture the sen atorship from that State and they did so; but the fact that Governor Cox, the Democratic candidate for re-elec tion, was backed by all those who were opposed to prohibition was con sidered in his favor. Willis favored the adoption of a constitutional amendment for State-wide prohibition, and the strangest part of It Is that while prohibition was crushlngly de [Continued on Page 11] 52 OF G7 COUNTIES GIVE FRAZER SMALL LEAD OVER KUNKEL Allegheny County Judge Is Now Only 257 Votes Ahead of Local Candidate By Associated Press Philadelphia, Nov. 5. —Additional) returns received to-day show that the vote for Supreme Court on the non partisan ballot was»elose. Practically complete but unofficial figures from 52 o fthe 67 counties show the following: Robert S. Frazer, 320,1515; George Kunkel, 319,899. These figures include all of Allegheny county, the home of Judge Frazer, with the exception of 24 districts. They also include the vote of Dauphin county, the home of Judge Kunkel. The missing Allegheny districts will raise Frazcr's total about 3,000, but this gain will be offset by Delaware county which Is believed to have given Kunkel a majority of about 3,000. The missing counties include. Clar ion, Crawford, Erie, Fayette, Law rence, Mercer and Warren, which, taken as a whole, are expected to help the western candidate, and Bradford, Columbia, Juniata.

He was placed under $5,- 000 bond to insure his appearance for trial. STOCK YARD RECEIPTS By Associated Press Chicago, 111., Nov. s.—Receipts at the stock yard, in cattle, hogs and sheep, to-day were 53.000 head, or 13,000 less than those a week ago. The decrease was mostly in hogs, prices of which advanced 25 to 60 cents, and in sheep, which rose 10 cents over yesterday's close. Cattle sold 10 to 20 cents higher than they did yesterday. Beginning Saturday, the first busi ness day on which the yards will be closed, there will be no market quo tations until the embargo, due to the outbreak of disease, is lifted.

The Germans on the night of November 3 made a counter attack which for a time hindered operations. The attacking forces, according to the statement, are now gradually clos ing in. Shells are falling in the streets of the town and the power house has been destroyed. On November 4 the Japanese right captured some small forts, an officer and twenty soldiers. Shells struck and burned the Bismarck barracks. "Kampaign Kitty" Joins Central High Orchestra While "tuning up" this morning the Central High School orchestra heard a faint nolsa in the auditorium. When the members looked around and found nothing, they surmised it was one of their own instruments. They started to play the opening march when a very distinct, "meow" was heard. Everybody stopped and fooking up on the platform they dis covered a lltle black cat. Kitty was captured by one of the choir boys, and remained in the choir throughout chapel and, of . course, helped in the singing. The choir boys named the cat "Kam paign Kitty." Curtis, Republican, Leading in Kansas Topeka, Kas., Nov. s.—With the re turns practically complete in all but three counties in Kansas early to-day, ex-Senator Charles Curtis, Republican, appeared to be leading in the race for the United States senatorship by about 1,000 votes over Representative George A. Neely, Democrat. With the re-election to Congress In the Sixth district of John R. Connolly, Democrat, all but one of the con gressional districts had made complete returns. The fifth was yet in doubt, although Guy T. Helvering, Demo cratic incumbent, seemed to be lead ing by a slight majority over W. Cal derhead. Republican. Later returns indicated the election of Republican State ticket by pluralities of from 15,000 to 30,000. THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1914. If you want to know just how a real cook—that Is a real scientifically garbed cook —should look, take a peek at the layout above. It shows a class In domestic science at the Central High School. Notice the white cap, and the scrupulously clean white apron. Weil, the girls are taught by the instructor, Miss Frances Hamilton, to keep those aprons and that cap clean as a new pin and Immaculately laundered. The one thing that Miss Hamilton just will not stand for Is dirt. During the first week the girls were taught how to properly wash dishes, build a fire, and cook scal loped oysters.

The pro posed law doing away with the fistic sport had been given a majority of votes in the precincts reporting and as votes were distributed throughout the State It seemed probable that later figures would maintain the same ratio ; against the measure. Earlier returns, especially those from cities, made it I appear that the anti-fight measure | had been lost by a narrow margin. I The State has long been a pugilistic stamping ground and It is said at one time three world champions of vary ing classes lived In the same block In San Francisco. The so-called lowa Injunction law for the abatement of Immoral traffic, I heretofore regarded as defeated, like wise showed heavy support from the inner districts of the State and the af firmative votes obtained a majority. COLD WAVE COMING According to reports received by E. R. Demaln, local weather forecaster, a cold wave Is approaching the eastern Bectlon of the United States, with pos sibly freezing temperature. BUSINESS ADVANCE EXPECTED THROUGH VERDICT ATPOLLS .. Bankers, Insurance Men and Manu facturers See Hopeful Outlook Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Nov. 6.—Anxieties re moved by the result of the election, rush orders being placed for manu factures for export and a vacuum in domestic stocks that mußt be filled during the winter months, bankers, in surance heads and executives of big manufacturing and commercial con cerns say are harbingers of an era of industrial activity. None among a number of persons prominent in the city's financial and commercial life whose opinions were sought, however, would predict a boom, but all inclined strongly to the belief that business will "brighten up" for a steady run, gradually striking a healthy, normal basis. "Some of the large orders recently have been placed In the United States by the European allies. It Is said, in an open letter from the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company.

J 14 PAGES Tsing Tau Bombarded by Jap Forces; British Ships Leave Chilean Waters Cruiser Glasgow and Transport Otranto Are Not Bottled Up by German Warships; German Cruiser Yorcke Strikes Mine and Sinks; First Rush of Kaiser's Forces For French Coast Has Been Checked No British warships are in Chilean ports. The fate of the three British cruisers that engaged five German warships off the coast of Chile and the transport that accompanied them remains a mystery. On this mystery is based the British hope that one or more of their vessels survived the action. A dispatch from Santiago to-day disposes of an earlier report that the British cruiser Glasgow and transport Otranto had been bottled up in Chilean waters by the Ger man cruisers Leipzig and Bremen. The whereabouts of the two lat ter cruisers are also in doubt. Of the nine vessels that figured in the naval battle only the German warships Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Nurnberg have been definitely accounted for. After coming into Valparaiso they again sailed. Nor was there any word to-day of the British battleship Cano pus which the Admiralty says had been sent to strengthen Rear Admiral Cradock's squadron. There is nothing to indicate that she arrived in time to participate in the fight. Great Britain has declared war on Turkey and the Ottoman government despite dissensions in the cabinet is definitely com mitted to hostilities against Great Britain, Russia, France and Servia. While Turkey becomes in effect an ally of the Teutonic allies she is strictly speaking waging an independent war upon Russia because of an alleged attack upon her by the Russian navy; and upon the ether countries involved because of their espousal of the Russian cause. The new drive for the sea coast of the heavily reinforced Ger man forces in Belgium has been met by a counter offensive of the also augmented armies of the allies in the vicinity of Ypres. LINES HAVE NOT DRAWN BACK "The Franco-British lines have at no point drawn back," says the afternoon French official statement, "and our troops undertak ing the offensive have made notable progress in several directions." It is declared that the allies have made slight progress to the east of Nieuport and that the German attacks from Dixmude to the Lys are being made with less energy. Renewed German activity is reported on the center without notable change and on the right of j the allies the situation remains deadlocked. A dispatch from Teheranx reports that the Persians are mucli excited over the clash between Turkey and Russia. The pretender, Salar Ed Dowleh, has proclaimed himself as Germany's candidate for the throne. Great Britain has formally annexed the Island of Cyprus in th« Mediterranean which has remained long under the suzerainty of the Turkish sultan though with a British administration. The Russian war office announces that Russian troops have entered Turkish Armenia, defeated the Turks and occupied four towns. The Russians claim that the Germans are falling back not only in Russian Poland but also on the east Prussian frontier, and that Russian troops have penetrated at points on the east Prussian border. AUSTRIANS HELD IN GALICIA It is asserted that the Austrians are being held in Galicia. The Russians have suspended the siege of Przemysl because of a cholera epidemic in the town, it is said. A wireless dispatch from Berlin brings an , official German denial of reports that the Russians had recently taken many prison ers and machine guns. The statement does not describe the general situation in the eastern theater. A despatch from Cape Town received in London says that the rebel movements led by General Beyers and Lieutenant Colonel Maritz in the Union of South Africa appear to have been completely crushed. The attitude of Bulgaria appears still undermined. Russia, is said to be making diplomatic efforts to reconcile Bulgaria and Servia and prevent Bulgaria casting in her lot with Turkey. A despatch from Sofia says that the Greek government has assured Bulgaria that Greece will remain neutral. No definite word has come from Ru mania. The British and Japanese are still hammering away at Tsing Tau. Tokio announces that the attacking forces are gradually clos ing in but also states that the Germans 011 Tuesday night made a counter attack which delayed the operations of the allies. ( "J GREAT BRITAIN ANNEXES CYPRUS London, Nov. 5, 12.38 P. M.— Gre:t Britain to-day form ally annexed the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean which nominally formed a part of the Turkish empire.
