UTS INTO PRACTICE DEMANDS OF LABOR Many Other Innovations Made to Lessen Delay and Ex pense in Equity Pro .. ceedings. By Associated Press. Washington, Nov. 4. Revolutionary harges in procedure, in equity .cases federal courts throughout the United States are effected in revised rules promulgated today by the su- rome court of the United States. The bject Is to reduce the cost of litiga tion and to eliminate delays. The new rule on injunctions pro- ides: - "No preliminary Injunction shall be ranted without notice to the opposite party nor shall any temporary re training order be granted without notice to the opposite party unless it hall clearly appear from specific facts hown by affidavit, or by the verified bill. Unit Immediate and Irreparable oss or damage Will result to the ap plicant before the mattt?r can be heard m notice. In case a temporary restraining order shall be granted without notice n the contingency specified, the mat ter shall be made returnable at the arliest possible time and in no event later than ten days from the date of the order, and shall take precedence on all matters except older matters of the same character. When the matter comes up for hearing the party who obtained the temporary restraining or der shall proceed wltb his application for a preliminary injunction and if he does not do so the court shall dissolve the temporary retraining order. . . Uiciu 1 vt u utiyB 'iiuctcv iw inc jjtn ij obtaining such temporary restraining orders, the opposite party may appear and move the dissolution and modifica tion of the order and In that event the court or Judge shall proceed to hear and determine the motion as the ends of Justice may require. Every temporary restraining order shall be forthwith filed In the clerk's oftlce." The new anti-injunction rule Incor porates into practice several demands of labor leaders which they sought to have recognized by the enactment of the so-called Clayton Injunction bill. Among new rules of procedure an nounced by the supreme court today s one which would prohibit issue of preliminary injunctions without notice to the opposite party and also restrain' Ing issues of temporary restraining or ders. Chief Justice White, explaining 9ome of the new rules, grouped the reforms under four or five heads. One was In regard to the exercises of power y the federal courts In equitable mat' ters. Another was described as being de signed primarily to remove all steps In modea In pleading and to bring the parties quickly to the Issue. Another was described as being a restriction In the modes of taking tes timony. particularly In patent and opyright cases. "The whole Intention has been," said th echlef Justice, "to bring the taking of testimony down to a more simplified and Inexpensive method." The chief Justice said the new rules would make It possible for the appel late court not to reverse suits merely liecause of errors not prejudicial. The rules will go Into effect Febru cry 1. 1913.

The great concern of th "busses," the colonel said, would be to beat the progressive party. BANK HOLIDAY tnmiirrnw, .Mwllon Iay. All ISitiiks Will lie Closed In Aslievllle. the Doubtless every one. who can will taka a holiday tomorrow. It Is not a general legal holldayi but It Is one for banks and all the local banks will observe It as such by cdoilng their doors. The local fire Insurance com panles will observe a halt holiday and will close their offices at 12 o'clock (t will be a day of uncertainty for many who will have to work and they will likely not perform their usual duties vary effectively, EXPECTED EARLY Increase in Telegraphic Lines Gives Better Facilities for Getting County Results. ELECTION OFFICERS URGED TO BE PROMPT It Is Expected Also That Congression al District General Results Will Come Early. There has never been an election In years in which the people have felt so much Interest as In the one tomorrow. The chairmen of the different politi cal organizations realize this and have made arrangements to get the results I in the county and district as quickly as possible, and conditions for this are very favorable; more favorable than ever before. There are telephones in almost every part of the county, cerr tainly in every precinct, and the Judges have been Instructed to tele phone in the unotl icial results' as soon as the ballots have been counted. These result will In practically every ase be as correct as the official count: n fact, they will be the official count, ut of course will not be certified. ! The polls open at 6.57 and close at unset, 5:30. J. E. Swain, counts democratic chairman, says that some of the returns will be in by 8 o'clock. It is likely that It will be definitely nown which county ticket has won by 11 o'clock. Only a very few of the precincts will not send in the re turns by telephone by that time, and the probability is that these will be those In sections which are not thick- Inhabited and cannot affect the re sults very much. The roads are also very much improved, which will greatly facilitate the bringing in of the official returns. There Is a good road to almost every part of the coun ty. At the count v headquarters of the two parties a man will sit at the telephone and call out the results, while others sit with blanks ready to take them down. Others will total them as they are received. On the night of the democratic primary the .returns cams In Arryar except from three or four pre- lncts, and by 12 o'clock It was known who was victorious. Of course there will be more tickets to count this time. The county returns In the city are always' received first, notwithstanding the city precincts average more than twice as many voters as the country precincts; and for this reason it Is thought that It. will not take much longer to count the tickets In the country this time than it did on the occasion of the primary. The congressional chairmen also ex pect to get early returns from every county in the district. They have written to every county chairman Im pressing on them the Importance of early telegraphing of the results. As It happens, In those counties where means of communication are few, the results either way cannot make much difference, the chairmen conceding that neither will have large majori ties. The main counties, Buncombe Haywood, Henderson and Rutherford. where the majorities will be large, are fairly well provided with telephones. The chairmen will depend for the results In the state and nation on thr news service, of course, although it if expected that the local managers for he senatorial candidates will receive many messages from all parts of the state. J.J. BRITT TO SPEAK T1 T Last Address of Campaign Will Be Made in Interest of R. H. Staton. The campaign speeches In Ashevlll will be wound up tonight with thi speech of Hon. J. J. Brltt, In the Inter est of R. H. Staton, republican nomi nee for congress from the tenth con gressional district. The speech wll he delivered at the court .house, and It Is certain that Mr. Rritt will have l good audience. Ho Is generally 'ecognlzed as being one of the most loquent of present day North Caro llnians, and he has statistics at hi nger tips which he brings to th' support of his clear and logical rea oning. Thomas Settle, republican candidal for governor, Is In the city. Askei what he thought of political condl linns In the state, he said that he wll ret the votes of a great many peopl who will vote for Roosevelt, "hundred of them." The moose men deny that there wll ' any perceptible defection fron Meares and are still sending out warn Ings against what they say was a plot to substitute the name of Settle for that of Meares, on progressive ballots Mrs. Virginia ZolllcofTcr Dead.

I E Death of Representative Utter Breaks Tie in Congres sional ; Delegation. By Associated Press. W ASHINGTON, - Nov. 4. The death of Representative George H. Utter of Rhode Is land apparently breaks the deadlock In which the house of representatives would find itself If it were called upon to elect a president. To the time of Mr. Utter's death the house was equally divided. Represen tation of twenty states was demo cratic, 22 republican, and the delega tions of four remaining states were equally divided between republicans and democrats. Rhode Island was one of the states in which the delegations were equally divided and Utter's death, should his place not be filled by a republican to fill out the remainder of his term, Hid throw Rhode Island to the emocratlc column. Throwing Rhode Island to the dem ocratic column, however, would not lermlt an election by the hnu'e hc- anse the constitution requires a. mar ority of the states. This would lie. Mr. Utters death, however, does reak the equal division between re publicans and democrats. TIE RIOTING FEARED ON DAY OF ELECTION Jacksonville Strikers in Ugly Mood and Threaten Fur ther Trouble. By Associated Press. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4. Recog nition of the street car employes' union Is the stumbling block which prevents the settlement of thO big 9treet car strike in this city. The Jacksonville Traction company offi cials stated today they would posi tively not make any further conces sions than those already announced and would under no circumstances recognize the union of the men. The men say this is one demand they will force and there seems to be no chance for a settlement of the dif ficulties at the present time. Rioting occurred in many places In the city yesterday but no fatalities have yet resulted. Great apprehen sion is felt for tomorrow. It being election day, the police and troops will find It impossible to keep the streets free from crowds and It is feared the threats of serious out breaks which have been heard for several days will materialize.

"As regards foreign Intervention, however, there seems to be no chance of the Balkan states listening to any foreign counsels while treating for the arrangement of conditions of peace.

It may be assumed that inasmuch as the details of the campaign were ar ranged with the greatest care, the same procedure will be followed, both as to the conclusion of hostilities and subsequent political considerations."

It Is hoped and believed still that the powers will soon find a formula under which they can oner their good offices. While the number of troops engaged In the series of battles fought between the Turkish and Bulgarian armies In Thrace during the last fortnight was not so large as that of the armies that fought In the Russo-Japanesa war, yet this probably Is the most savage and bloody war ever fought In Europe. The fighting has been followed by many massacres by the Turkish sol diery, the brutality of which is hardly ; believable. The reports Issued by the Eulgarluns are probably exaggerated but the accounts of Independent wit nesses show that the situation In this respect Is very bad. German Warships to Turkish Waters.
