Kx-Prcaldent for Misrepre? sentation Persistently Continued After Warn In??Mayor As* uro* Dlx Support. New York, Nov. 2.?The Demo? cratic State campaign here reached flood tide tonight at a meeting in Carneg e hall where John A. Dlx, the nominee for governor, made his first public address in the city. The meeting also served as the occasion for Mayor Oaynor's long expected formal announcement of his support of the ticket. The mayor's voice still being weak, this came In the form of a letter to the chairman of the meeting. The rally was held under the aus? pices of the Independent Busines? Men's league and Herman Bidder, president of that organization, pre? sided. Mr. Dlx devoted the greater part of a 3,000 word speech to a denunci? ation of Theodore Hoosevelt. He charged the former president with wilful falsehood in repeating the ac? cusations for which Mr. Dlx in his Buffalo speech demanded an apology. He declared that Col. Roosevelt, "be? cause of what he deems to be his political necessity of the hour, struck hands and made a political alliance" with William R. Hearst whom, four years ago, Roosevelt had publicly branded "as responsible for the as sasln's bullet which made him presi? dent." Leaving the subject of Roosevelt, the candidate returned to charges of Republican extravagance. He prom? ised that a Democratic administra? tion would reduce taxation and once more make it possible for the "aver uge man" to save enough for a rainy day. He denounced the Republican tariff policy and declared himself for a downward revision of the tariff. "This campaign," .said Mr. Dix, "like gS many in the v?.ist. Involves questions of policy and expenditures, of reform and retrenchment, and the other questions which necessarily have to do with carrying on the well ordered business of government. "Such QUSSttollf WOUld have been settled in the usual way by appeals tu reason and experience and by that application to common sense Judg? ment which is so distinguishing an attribute of the average Amerleun. "Hut this was not. to be. into the centre of the stage there has been hurled?by the inordinate vanity, the dangerous ambition. the reckless conduct of a man who has become the apostle of tumult and the pro? tagonist of misrepresentation?the momentous question of whether or not our very republican institutions should survive or, under tho assaults of the agitator and the egotist, should go down to destruction, as have oth? er great countries under similar assaults. "Fortunately for our country, the battle ground chosen for this light Wag that which combined patriotism. Intelligence and public spirit in their highest form, and the decisive defeat which lies before this creator of un? rest, this Instigator of panic and this destructive agent of business depres? sion will not alone retire to a sphere of well-earned and unenvted seclu? sion, but will serve for many years to come as a signal warning to all other men who may let their ambi? tion blind their judgment to the facti that there is and must remain a gov? ernment of the psople and by the people. "Never before have we in our his? tory had so much occasion to bl ush for the conduct of h man who had been the tirst citizen of our country and no greater and morn striking difference could be found in our his? tory between the last Republican president and the Ulustrous men who preceded htm In office than is found by their conduct after they had re? tired from the gr?>at office which they bad held. "Look for a moment upon the man who Is now rushing up and down the State shouting, threatening, abusing and win ally misrepresenting ?bring? ing contempt and ridicule upon the greal office he has held, ad avoid* tag the discussion of all the real issues of this campaign, and then upon his great predecessors who never forgot that they owed to their countrymen ths duty of besrlng themselves Always with dignity and with honor."

Thy (?od's au AY, NOVEMBER 6, 191 GRABFELDER STOPS SUIT. Practically Admit* Paying (.rafi In Tills State?And Compromises The Case. Columbia. Nov. 2.?Practically ad? mitting that they had overcharged the State to the extent of thousands of dollars. Grabfelder & Co.. a liquor house of Louisville, has abandoned Its Injunction proceedings and will pay the sum of $15,000 to the dis? pensary commission. The com? pany was seeking to enjoin the com? mission from further holding up the sum of $18.000 due from the several county dispensaries to the liquor house. This case involved the constitution? ality of the act of 1910 wh eh pro? vided that funds, owing sundry liquor houses by county dispensaries should be first applied on the payment, of claims in favor of the State fund found by the commission to be due. The aban? donment of the litigation by Grao felder & Co. and settlement in ac? cordance with the views of the com m salon would seem to indicate that the attorneys for Grabfelder regard the act as valid though this question is yet to be determined by the su preme court in another case. The conclusion of this case leaves little to be collected under the provisions of I the act of 1910 except the Carolina Glass company matter in which Is In? volved several thousand dollars. FEDERAL FINANCES FALL. Experts Surprised When Deficit for October I lev ruled. Washington. Nov. 1.?The Govern? ment's finances took a downward twist during the l.ist three days of October and tricked the experts who had been predicting a surplus for the month and hoping for an I even break at the worst. Exclusive of the Panama Canal charges, the receipts for the month were $."5,266,4 41 and the expendi? tures $58.560.3 23, which left a deficit in ordinary operations of $3.203.882. Add to that sum the month's cost of t)\> I w .rk on the canal and $d.295. 083 atunds on the wrong side of the ledger. The close of September had shown a total surplus of more than td ,400,000. and It was the first time in the present fiscal year that the Government took in more than it paid out. While the operations of the month bring the total treasury deficit for the fiscal year to more than $21.000,000, and the close of September saw it down to $15,000, 000, the situation Is not considered unusual. Barring all unusual expenditures, such as for the Panama Canal and payments on the public debt. the month's operations show a deficit of $13,000,000, as against $23,000,000 a year ago. In the face of the growing receipts which now total more than $226.000,000 for this year,' treasury officials expect to be satistled with the showing of the month and ex- | pect a gradual Improvement from now on. Twenty-two n??w national banks came Into existence in October, w'th the total capitalisation of $2.500.000. The majority were small banks, with n capital of $r>0.000 or less. The total national bank circulation is now $724,874,308. nn increase of about $4.000.000 over last month. The total cash in the treasury at the dose of the month's business was $1,759,673,952, an increase of about $9,000.000. LAUGHS WHOLE DAY THROUGH. BWaiet at Palming Off Mule us "Shaved Tall Horse."

GARMENT WORKERS' STRIKK RAISES GRIM SPECTTIES. Police Charge Large Mob? Plough Through Crowd of Several Thous? and Rioters?Many Injured. More Serious Trouble Feared. Chicago, Nov. 2.?Grim spectres of the days of the Haymarket riot haunted Chicago's streets for a brief time late this afternoon when Inspec? tor S. K. Healy and squad of 60 po? licemen with drawn revolvers, charged several thousand striking garment workers who were rioting on the West Side. One policeman was stabbed, 15 rioters were seriously in? jured and 25 strikers and sympathi? zers were arrested during the brisk fight which threatened to get beyond police control. This, the most serious outbreak that has occurred since the Inception of the strike of garment workers oc? curred at the plant of A. Lot & Co., at West Ohio and Bickerdike streets. Before the police arrived the strikers had broken all the windows in the large building occupied by the cloth . ing maufacturers, had driven strike? breakers out and carried a large number of sewing machines into the streets where the machines were de? stroyed. The strikers and their followers put up a desperate fight for a time. Many of their number were knocked down by the clubbing of the police and not a few were tram? pled on in the fighting which follow? ed. Bleeding heads and faces were numerous and a number of persons suffered more serious injuries. When pickets gained entrance to the tailoring establishment, as the mob of strikers approached the build? ing, some of the employes of the company joined the strikers and are said to have assisted in the work of destruction. Men and women were hurling br'cks and stones through the windows of the plant when In? spector Healy and his squad of re? serves arrived. The inspector experienced difficulty In getting together the disorganized force of policemen which had borne the brunt of the early fighting. When he had done so, however, the policemen charged through the centre of the mob, knocking down all in their way. As a result of today's developments in the strike situation. Ch ef of Po? lice Steward tonight odered a confer? ence of his inspectors and issued a special set of emergency orders to Inspectors, captains ami lieutenants in the various police distr cts where the riots have occurred. The attitude of the police Indicates that mu^h more serious trouble is expected within the next 24 hours. All pre? parations are being made for hastily calling in reserves from outlying sta? tions and mobolizing a strong force. Strikers tonight held a dozen largely attended meetings and agita? tors were active in urging the strik? ers to further disorder. Meanwhile various clubwomen who have inter? ested themselves in the cause Of the g'rl garment workers were urging their followers to refrain from any action which mitfbt injure their cause or their opportunity for secur j Ing a favorable settlement of the strike. Wonderful Growth In Bible school Work. The eleven thousand Bibb: schools, better known as Sunday schools of the Churches of Christ have an en? rollment of sixteen bundled thousand, and it is in this department of th> church work that the Christian churches are devoting most of their energy, as this is the proper teaching place in the churches. Eighty-five per cent of all the additions to the Christian Churches come through the Bible school. L. L. Paris, State Bible School Su perlntendent <d' Ohio will represent the Bible school Interests at the con? vention, and will speak twice on Sat-] urday afternoon. Mr Paris is an authority <?n the Adult Bible Class, and the Christian Churches have] more organised Adult Bible ci isses than an) other religious body, also a larger number of trained teachers, an?! Teacher Training students than any other religious body. Two hun? dred and eighty-four thousand are . nroiled in the Teacher Training classes The largest organised Bible school In the United States Is the Central Christian school at Can- j ton, Ohio P. H.

Erb stein, one of the attorneys for Lee O'Neill Browne, who was recent.'y acquitted of a charge of bribiag State Representative Charles A. White to vote for William Lor? mer for United States senator, wa in? dicted today, charged with corrupt? ing a member of the Jury which cleared Browne. The bribery is al? leged to have figured in the verdict of not guilty. Among the witnesses for the State were three State representatives, who asserted on the stand that they had received $1,000 each for their votes for Lorimer. Immediately the ease went against the prosecution, State's Attorney Wayman began an investigation of numerous rumors concerning at? tempts at tampering with veniremen. A week ago he got a clue which led to McCutchen. He and Stacey, it is said, disgruntled at the small sum which they say they received, told of receiving $250 from Erbstein. Erb stein denies the charge and alleges persecution. DR. SNYDKR WILL LECTURE. President of Woflford DeHvers Ad? dress at Rafting Creek School on Friday Evening, November 18. I Rembert, Nov. 2.?Dr. H.

DELEGATE TO A. EL P. SYNOD. Rev. R, C. Reed, of Columbia, Ex? tends Fraternal (?rectinga from Prosb>tcrian Church to geOSjiees. ! Columbia. Nov. 4.?Rev R. C. Reed ! of Columbia has been selected as the ! delegate of the Presbyterian General Assembly of the South to bear fra? ternal greetings to the synod of the Associated Reformed Presbyterian church, which will be held in Char? lotte next week. This is the first time In the history of the Seceder church that a representative has been officially delegated to bear fraternal greetings to its leading council from the main body of the Presbyterian faith, and this fact Is believed to pres?age closer relations of theee two branches of the faith?if not at once, then in the next several years. The selection of Dr. Reed for this import? ant mission is a most happy one. It is hardly probable, however, that the two branches of the faith will be re-united though the two churches have been on most friendly terms for years. The Seceders have never \et been able to lay aside their unique Ind rvlduality, even to uniting with the United Presbyterian church of the North, whose form of worship is identical with theirs. The chief difference between the two churches !n the South is the resolution of the S. ceders to bar human composition* from their worship. The visit of Dr. Reed to the synod in Charlotte will be. if nothing else, another step toward bringing the Protestant churches closer together in that work whVh each denomina? tion is doing in i annum with tb* others. Mr. Reed's presence will add to the Interest taken in the synod by the general public and will probably Inaugurate a custom that will, in time.
