Today's session, whicl began at 10:45 o'clock in the morn ing and was suspended only an hou for luncheon, did not end until thi evening at 9:30 o'clock. Several nev lines of testimony were opened bu these tended rather to incriminate ii the affray persons not heretofore ac cused than to throw light on the mail question as to whose hand fired th< shot which brought down Mr. Cohen One witness, Jerry W. Dunn, made th> first direct imputation of guilt fo tnat nomiciae. tie said he saw on* of the two men now in arrest. Ed ward R. McDonald, shoot Mr. Cohei in the back, though he would not say the shot was deliberately aimed a the newspaper man. Some evidenci was adduced tending to show that th< police took special care to keep dowi trouble, whereas testimony from oth er quarters was that police actively participated in the disorder. Two wit nesses said they saw a policemai stand in the doorway and deliberately fire into the committee room. Allei Lejrare said he heard Plain Clothe: Officer Hopyan, after conversing in lov tons with Chief Cantwell, say, "A1 ripyht, there will be hell when I pre to them," whereupon Hogyan entere( committee headquarters and a com motion culminating: in pistol shots iir. mediately broke out there.

The dreadful thing which happene* at the meeting of the city Democrats executive committee yesterday wil stand against Charleston for many i long day to come to the shame an< humiliation of her people. It shouh shock and humble especially those o ? her citizens who, in their blindness have denied to themselves and other the truth regarding conditions as the] have existed in Charleston this lonj time past. Yet what happened yesterday ii only what has threatened to happei repeatedly when in the last four year citizens of this community have ha< to assemble for the assertion of thei political rights. Everybody expecte< that the county convention last yea would end in a wholesale shootim affray. The tension was stretched t< the uttermost. When the day close< without bloodshed a great sigh of re lief went up. There are hundreds o men who are profoundly convince* that but for the presence of th< mlitia in Charleston last Tuesda; there would have been the most seri ous trouble, in which many citizen! might have lost their lives. That ai affair like that of yesterday coul< have happened comes as no surprise then, to those people in this commun ity who have not shut their eyes t< the facts. It shocks and appals then yet bad as it is?and on every ac count it is to be deplored withou measure?it is not so terrible as man; have feared would be the end of thi reign of strife and discord and vio lence to which Charleston has beei subjected. Let us hope that it mark the worst. The News and Courier does no want to say anything this mornini which might add at a time of straii and excitement to the inflammabilit; of the situation. To do so could di no good .and it is its duty as it i that of every good citizen of Charles ton to try and promote the peace The facts speak for themselves. Th record as it stands constitutes its owi that record that the people of Charles that record that the people of Charles ton took their stand on Tuesday. In election of Maj. Hyde?and this news paper has no doubt in the world tha he was the honest choice of a ma jority of the voters in Tuesday's elec tion?was above everything else i protest against a state of affairs whic! made possible and invited such a event as that of yesterday. It is right that Charlestonian should writhe under the mortificatio and disgrace of what has occurred. I is imperative that they go forward t the mending of the conditions, wit which they are confronted. Failur to do so must mean irretrievabl damage and moral degradation. Th community must awake to the peril which threaten it. There can be n doubt of how it will meet them.?New and Courier. CHILDREN OF CONFEDERACY.

Election Not Close?Despite Heavy b Majority Against Them, However, ^ Women Elan for Another i, Campaign. ir t Jersey City, N. J., Oct. 19.?New , Jersey registered at the polls today _ an emphatic no to woman's appeal r for the ballot. Indications at mid- t s night were that "votes for women" had t v met defeat in each of the State's 21 r counties and that the majority against x n adoption of the constitutional amend- N . ment to enfranchise women was he- ^ 1 tyveen 50,000 and 00,000. , B Undaunted by the overwhelming j tide against them, suffrage leaders an- t c nounced tonight they will start tomor- t r row with new plans intent upon pledg- j 8 ing candidates for the legislature to t permit them to vote next spring for 1 presidential electors. v Unofficial returns from nearly two- $ I thirds of the districts in the State ^ g showed that in 1,222 out of 1.891 dis- | e tricts the vote was 88,275 for the j tl amendment and 124,19 against it, a j majority of 85,844 aprainst suffrage. f v . Suffrage lost in every big city and j in nearly every town. Where it did 1 win the majority was small. , P Mrs. E. F. Feickert, president of c the New Jersey State Woman Sut- < s frage association, conceded defeat j v within an hour and a half after the j j polls had been closed. Later in the j ^ night she issued a statement charging ^ ^ "unfair tactics" on the part of the r anti-suffragists. Hudson and Essex counties, where a big fight centred, apparently gave de cisive majorities against tne amena* ment. Passaic county apparently was . close, with the amendment defeated. . ^ The city of Trenton and Mercer j county, early returns indicated, voteo j ' against the amendment by a big ma- , J jority. j j President Wilson's own precinct, the . Seventh election district of Prineeton , borough, voted: For suffrage 64, ^ against 150. j The only county in the State which j seemed to be certain to go for suf- t frage was Cape Cay. Early returns , s indicated that the majority for the . amendment there would approximate j 300. Burlington county was elaime^ . for suffrage by the women leaders. Where suffrage triumphed returns j j showed the majorities to be small. ? c The country communities in many j cases voted against the amendment. i j Coupled with admission of defeat j Mrs. Feickert embodied a promise of j a renewed fight next spring. f TAKING NO CHANCES. 1 J s London Tit-Bits relates that a ( 1 freckled-face girl stopped at the s ' postoffice and yelled out: "Anything for the Murphys?" r s "No, there is not." 1 "Anything for Jane Murphy?" ^ "Nothing." "Anything for Ann Murphy?" r "No.*" "Anything for Tom Murphy?" 1NO. ' J "Anything for John Murphy?" ' "No, not a bit." "Anything for Terry Murphy?" " "No, nor for Pat Murphy, nor , Denis Murphy, nor Peter Murphy,t nor Paul Murphy, nor for any Mur-' e phy, dead, living, unborn, native or ^ foreign, civilized or uncivilized, sav" ape or barbarous, male or female, s black or white, naturalized or other] wise, soldier or citizen. No, there is> positively nothing for any of the Murphys, either individually, jointly, severally, now and forever, one and 3 inseparable." !l The girl looked at the postmaster in astonishment. "Please," she ^ said, "will you see if there is any^ thing for Bridget Murphy."
