Southern Fights
Check On Rates
WASHINGTON, Nov. (JP) —
Southern railroads has asked the

In all, 26 petitions have been filed
with the commission by various
state regulartory bodies In southern
territory, chambers of commerce,
and individuals
The carriers, in their answer to
day, denied there was any need for
investigating the present rate
structure.
Should the petitions be granted,
the carriers said, “the same could
only result in the expenditure of a
large sum of money to defend a
rate structure which the commis
sion has rrprn'rdly held to hr just
and reasonable.’’

Congress Fight
Draws Interest
Through Nation
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—(A*)—
The election of a new congress to
dig into a mountain of "unfinished
business" shared national Interest
with the presidential contest in to
day's balloting.
Republican candidates hoped to
slash away the overwhelming Dem
ocratic majority in the house of
representatives, although they had
no chance to wrest control of the
senate.
Democratic victories in 1932 and
1934 gave the party" enough sena
tors serving six-year terms to guar
antee it more tnan 60 of the sen
ate's 96 seats, regardless of today's
returns.
Thirty-five senators will be nam
ed today from a list of 192 candi
dates of more than a half dozen
shades of political belief.
An unusual upset would be nec
essary to piace even the house into
Republican hands, since 308 out of
the 436 seats are now held by Dem
ocrats. Republicans have 100 mem
bers, while Progressives hold seven
and Farmer-Laborites 3. Seventeen
seats are vacant.
Voters are choosing their new
representatives from 1,339 aspir
ants, Including Socialists, Com
munists, Prohibitionists, Progres
sives, Farmer-Laborites and Christ
ian and Union party candidates.
No matter what its political com
plexion is, the next congress will
face plenty of hard work when it
convenes January 6.
Heavy Vote b
Cast All Over
North Carolina
RALEIGH, Nov. I.—<*>>—Early
reports from today's election In
North Carolina, with one precinct
already reporting a unanimous
Democratic vote, indicated citizens
were going to the polls in record
numbers.
There was no disorder by noon,
but the first word of election strife
came from Thomasville, where Re
publicans challenged the registra
tion of approximately 1,700 persons,
most of which were said to have
died or moved away.
Without exception, Mecklenburg
county registrars reported voting
the heaviest in history. Veteran ob
servers estimated the county’s vote
would be nearer 10,000 than the
38,000 generally expected until yes
terday.
Lines formed at polling places
here early In the morning, and
election officials said the early vote
was the heaviest they had ever
seen.
Much Interest In
Old Hoover States
ATLANTA, Nov. 3.—{&)—South
ern skirmish lines of the presi
dential election were drawn today
in four states which Herbert Hoov
er won with tradition-shattering
ballots In 1038.
Adherents of Alfred M. Landon
listed Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee and Florida for their su
preme efforts.
Democratic leaders, headed by
Chairman James A. Farley, declared
President Roosevelt would capture
the one time Confederacy's 134 elec
toral votes as a unit. Just as he did
In the Roosevelt-Hoover campaign
of 1039.
Democratic candidates of Texas,
which also left the "solid South”
eight years ago, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Ark
ansas and Louisiana maintained
they saw no serious opposition.
The primaries settled most of
their problems. In Georgia, Louisiana
and Mississippi only the Democrats
offered candidates for the United
States senate.

NEW HUDSONS i
AND TERRAPLANE
CARS SHOWN HERE
Arey Motor Shows
Brilliant New Car
Models
Four completely new Hudson -
built cars, the 1937 Hudson Eight,
the Hudson Six, the DeLuxe Ter
1 raplane and a new companion car,
l the Super-Terreplane, will be for
J mally presented to Shelby today at
the showrooms of Arey Motor Co.,
Hudson and Terraplane dealers.
Strikingly styled In the most ad
| vanced trend, the new cars are
| longer at the wheelbase by two
inches, lower by two inches, wider,
roomier and more powerful than
preceding models. Characteristically
sleek, the lines of the '37 cars flow
rearward from the newly designed
narrow radiator grille In perfect
harmony around an Interior said to
afford a"*new conception of roomi
ness and comfort in motor cars.
The complete line of Hudsons
consists of an 8-cyllnder car on 129
inch wheelbase, an eight, on 122
inch wheelbase, and a Six on 122
Inch wheelbase. Both of the 122
inch wheelbase chassis in the Eight
and the Six carry a complete line
of bodies, all of which are entirely
new this year, while the 129 inch
wheelbase chassis is available in
two body models—the Sedan and
Touring Sedan.
Joining the DeLuxe Terraplane
this year is a new Super-Terra
plane of 101 ho-ge power featuring
the new "Double Carburetlon”
principle, an engineering advance
ment Introduced by Hudson for
1937. Both DeLuxe and Super
Terraplane carry a complete line of
body models on 117 Inch wheelbase
as against 115 inches for 1936.
Brilliant new bod? colors feature
inQh weelbase cassis In the Eight
planes, a choice of seven being of
fered with five additional colors
optional at slight extra cost.
Toronto Derby
Causing Suits
(Continued from page one)
baby-beartng entitle her, ehe said
tonight, she’s going to get unsliced.
Everything from a divorce to the
establishment of a fund for another
baby derby is on the shopping list
of the six women who, by reason
of having brought nine babies into
the world in 10 years, believe
themselves Joint winners of the
lawyer’s legacy.
Mrs. Clarke said that her share
would be devoted mainly to the
Improvement of her eight living
children, but that the divorce was
the first thing among the agenda.
Five Illegitimate
The 24 year old mother's posi
tion among the six winners is the
most delicate of all. Her last five
children were bom after her sep
aration from her husband. All were
properly registered, however, and
their illegitimacy doesn't bar them
under the Millar will.
Since it became apparent that
Mrs. Clarke had a good chance to
win, friends said her husband has
indicated that the embers of his
abandoned love have begun to glow
anew.
Mrs. Clarke, however, wants that
matrimonial chapter closed. Her
lack of money has prevented her
from seeking a divorce and has
been responsible, she feels, for the
fact that her last five children are
"Clark’s” by courtesy only.
She had intended to marry the
man who is their father, she said,
but could not, because her husband
would not divorce her.
Finds Two Others
The fly In Mrs. Clarke's oint
ment and in the ointment of four
other top flight mothers may be
Mrs. Loly Kenny who is determined
to get all the money herself. Mrs.
Kenny is nominally tied with the
other mothers with nine children,
but she stated triumphantly today
that she had found the registra
tions of two other babies, to make
her total 11.
The trouble, she said, was that
the babies had been registered as
“Cenny," as a result of a bit of
alphabetical confusion on the part
of the registrar, who didn’t under
stand Mrs. Kenny's spelling very
well.
This is not hard to believe when
it is recalled that in naming her
last child after Charles Vance Mil
lar she spelled it “Vendor.”
Another Derby
It i* Mrs. Kenny who has the
most imposing list of things she's
going to do with the money. She'll
set aside $100,000 for another baby
derby. "I’ll carry on the noble pro
gram of Mr. Millar.” she explained.
As if that were not enough trib
ute to pay to the late acentric,
shell spend a sizable sum to build
a Millar mausoleum, and shell
carve Millar's likeness in it with
her own hands. Mrs. Kenny makes
figures in wood between confine
ments,
Mrs. Annie Smith, a fireman's!
wife, won’t take the full $500,000.
even should it be awarded her at
Friday's court hearing. She will
condescend however, to accept one-!
sixth; and she thinks shell spend
part of it giving her husband, Al
fred. a nice trip—second class,
nothin c fussy bark to his native
England
