untnry manslaughter hi connection

of the mob that lynched Walker and

other policemen should have prevented
the burning.

VOTING
f ate of Reciprocity Being
Decided Today.
LIBERALS FEAR CITY VOTE.
Greatest Campaign In History of Our
Northern Neighbor Ends, and. Peo
ple Are Deciding Future Pol
icy of Government.
Ottawa, Ont Sept. 21. Cnnndlan
nerves are stretched to the snapping
point over the result of today's elec
tion. Turning out a government in
volves such vast political changes, so
many ambitions are killed nnd so
ninny now ambitions are roused thai
flutirely nsldo from the Importance of
the acceptance or rejection of reci
procity tho election appeals directly to
the Interests of a vast number of
Canadians.
Sir Wilfrid Laurior made n whirl
wind finish in Montreal. At least
70,000 people attended this meeting.
Sir Willinm Van Home's nntlreci
procity meeting was well attended, but
as nn audlenco getter ho proved vastly
inferior to tho prime minister. The
Liberals frankly admit that they are
afraid of the city vote and tho vote in
the industrial centers. They expect
conservative gains in Montreal and
other large towns and are pinning
their hopes to tho farmers and fisher
men. Level headed Liberals are inclined
to cut down their estimates of tho
majority by which the government
will be returned. Speculation as to
what will happen in certain contin
gencies after election has taken the
place of guessing on majorities. It is
conceded that no matter who forms
the next government one of the first
things to be done will be to pass a
redistribution bill based upon the
census just completed, by which the
west will get a greatly increased rep
resentation in parliament.

Illinois and the states beyond the
Mississippi, where, next week, he will
invade tho real "insurgent country."
Mr. Taft Is anxiously awfittlng the
outcome of the Canadian elr (ilons to
day. Until then he expect, i to say
nothing further on recipr Jty. al
though he is in a part of thii country
intensely Interested In that subject.
While he has said little about tho
elections, it is believed that ho expects
the Canadian government tojibe sus
tained, Insuring the passage of the
reciprocity bill through the dominion
parliament. ;r
WILSON FAVORS STRIKERS.
Governor Believes Demands of Lacka
wanna Section Men Are Just.
Sea Girt, N. .1., Sept. 21. Following
tho receipt by Governor Wilson of a
letter from A. R, Lowe, president of
tho International Brotherhood of Main
tenance of Way Employees, In which
he was asked to try to bring nbout ar
bitration In tho strike now In the Lack
awanna railroad, the governor wrote
n letter in which bo said that from
the statements made tho demands ap
peared "Just nnd reasonable," and that
It was neither In the interest of good
irovemment or good feeling that tho
company should take the stand It has
taken.
The governor wrote to General Lewis
T. Rryunt, head of tho stato depart

he could not help tho strikers. He
forwarded tho letter received from Mr.
Lowe aud told General Bryant to co
operate with the New York authorities.

THE OLYMPIC.
Largest Steamer In Service (
Disabled on Way to America. C
8 tail, by American Press Association
Cowcs. Isle of Wight. England. Sept
21. The White Star line steuuier
Olympic, which was in collision with
the British protected cruiser Ilnwke
near Osborno bay. on tho north side of
tho Isle of Wight, and was so badly
damaged that her captain, E. J. Smith,
beached her on n mud bnuk In the
Cowes roadstead, later was released
nnd started back for Southampton,
whore she docked safely. '
The Olympic sailed from Southamp
ton, bound for Now York by way of
Cherbourg aud Queinstown. She sail
ed with tho largest list of first class
passengers that ever started across the
Atlantic on one ship. Tho first cabin
passengers numbered 742, twenty-tout
more than her best previous record.
Among them were between twenty and
thirty American millionaires. Some
thing like $250,000 had been paid In
passage money. All told there were
nearly 3,000 persons on board.
The mishap will upset tho White Star
schedule for a time or until the broken
and damaged plates can be replaced.
The Olympic will be sent under her
own steam to the big dry dock there.
It is unlikely that she will be able to
get back to Southampton under two
weeks. Her passengers will be trans
ferred to other steamers which sail
from Liverpool nnd London. The im
fpen?o cargo of the Olympic except
(hat which Is perishable may be kept
aboard until she is ready to sail again.
The Olympic is the biggest ship in
I'o.ntuisslon. She Is equalled only by
her sister, tho Titnnic. which Is afloat,
but not In service.
SHARK KILLS A PILOT.
Off Florida Coast Schooner Loses Race
and Misses Rescue.
Pensacola. Fin., Sept. 21. Deatli nnd
a huge shark won in a race with the
chooner Wallace A. McDonald, Cap
tain Tony McGInty. Tho schooner put
hack to Pensacola to report tho loss
of Thomas Ashe, known as "British
Tom." pilot of the boat.
While Ashe wos nt the wheel with
the schooner making considerable head
way he slipped and fell overboard.
Immediately a great shark started aftei
him. Small boats wero launched nnd
the schooner put nbout, but not until
Ashe had been left far astern. Ashe
was a poworful swimmer and shouts
from his comrades on deck encouraged
him. But tho man made craft wore no
match for the great fish. The chase
lasted perhaps two miles and the
schooner was close enough to throw a
line when the shark's Jaws closed over
Ashe. Tho shark was killed.
LOOKS BRIGHT FOR RACING
Opponents of Bill Believe Assembly at
Albany Will Pass It.
New York, Sept. 21. Opponents of
tho Gittins bill, which would re-establish
racing nnd bookmaking on the
tracks of the state, have almost sur
rendered, but they haven't quit ihe
tight. Ono of the most prominent of
the men who hnvo attacked the bill
and who is one of the stanchest sup
porters of Governor Hughes' campaign
admits that he thought tho assembly
would pass the measure next week.
Tho reformers, however, nre not
ready to admit that Governor Dix will
sign tho bill. That is altogether an
other question with them.

THE AMATEUR
PHOTOGRAPHER
(Concluded from Last Week.)
All right, let us make an exposure
in the nice light dining room, with
its bright red rug, and bright red
wall naner two wnmia nv,,,,..,.
should be plenty. Well, what Is the
maiier; useu same speed and same
stop, and tho light was just as good
as in that whllte room, and we have
a bad under exposure. Could the
color of the rug and wall paper have
had anvthincr tr ,in win, ttt v-..
guessed right. Anything red' in col
or uus me power to absorb a great
portion of tho light rays that would
have anv nffepr. nn nn. film

wuu a ruoy glass. With the white
walls you aro aided by the light re

...i.u auuui.ca 111
Just about the same proportions as
your oiaer exposure was lengthen-
ea oy tne. ansorblng power of the
red walls and floor covering.
Now let us try two further experi
ments. Wo will take our subject
outside again, on the shady side of
the house, but where we can" obtain
direct Illumination from the sky. To
our eyes, this loentlon would seem
to require a longer .exposure than
the one In the room with the white
walls, but let us try an exposure of
1-10 second. This dovelops up
about normal. Now as a final ex
periment let us move our subject
up on the veranda, just far enough
back so that the direct light from
tho sky cannot bo utilized. The il
lumination appears to bo just as
good here as the previous exposure,
but to be on the safe side let us
try two exposures, one of 1-10 sec
ond, the same as for our last out
door exposure, and one of 1-2 sec
ond; once more we are surprised, as
the 1-10 second exposure is very
much under exposed, and the one
half second could have been increas
ed to one second without danger of
much overtiming.
