YOL. XXVI., NO. 326. DELICTS TALK AS IF THEY REALLY tl Have Made Good Canvass and WlifGIve Republicans Stubborn Fight EXPECT TO BREAK STATE'S DELEGATION .No National Issues Involved and Result Depends Lar gely on Rural Vote .PORTLAND, Maine. Sept 11. Th night before the buttle of the 'ballots in Milne's bi-ennkU election And both republican and democrats confident of the verdict, and satisfied that the 180,000 voters understand the Issues. There are four tickets In the Held, the. candidate for. governor being-: Republican, Bert M. Fernald, of Poland: democrat. Fred'k W. Ptai- ted, of Augusta; socialist, Robert V. Hunter of Freport; and protilDKion ist, J as. H. Antes, of Sowdoinham. As the aodallsts and prohibition ists poll very small vote In Maine, the struggle here aa in other states, la between the principal national parties, . The republicans believe that there Is sufficient party loyalty -to seat Governor Fernald for a second term, aa well aa elect the party candidates in the foiir congreslonal districts, and there will be no change in the complexion of the legislature dhosen to select a successor of United States Senator - Eugene Hale. Democrats Hare Hope. On the other hand, the democrats declare that while there Is no na tional Issue at stake, the republican administration has been so extrav gant that Mayor Fred'k Plalsted of Augusta may be placed In the seat once occupied by his father, Harris M. Flaiffted; the fusion governor of 1881. The 'democrats also are confi dent of the ability of Daniel P. Mo Qilllcuddy of twtton to defeat .Congressman, Jno, Pv Swasey of Can ton In- tn .eswoond district, and say that former Sheriff Wm. M, Pennell will give considerable trouble in the second district. Some of the more optimistic -democratic leaders go still further and predict a democrat for governor. Much will depend tomorrow on the size of the rural vote, governed (Conthmni on uaae Frew.) Both Sides Concede That This Issue Was Defeated at the First Primary OUTCOME UNCERTAIN COLUMBIA. S. C, Sept. 11 South Carolina democrutB on Tues day will make their final choice for governor, adjutant general, railroad commissioner and1 congressmen In two districts. The voting constitute the second primary, made necessary when there are more than two can didate for one office and no on of them receive a majority. Chief interest In this second pri mary, naturally centers In the con test for governor, between C .C. Featherstone, of Laurens, anil Cole L. Bleaae, Of Newberry. Mr. Feather stone entered the campaign as the -champion of the state-wide prohibi tionist; wWle Mr. Bleaae ran on a local option platform. Since T. G. McLeod, another local option candi date was eliminated at the first pri mary. It ha been maintained b leading newspapers of the local op tion persuasion that the issue is no longer ope of measures, but a ques tion of personal fitness as between Mr. Fee. chert one and Mr. Blease. Supporting this view, several of the prohibition leaders of the state havr com, out with admissions that the state-wide prohibition cause wa practical defeated at the first pri mary. Since the first primary the cam paign ha been bitterly contested with adherents of both candidate working hard. The press of the state, with single exception. Is sup porting Mr. Featherstone and attack ing Mr. Blease. Predictions on th outcome are futile. . For adjutant general, W. W. Moore, of Barnwell, and J. M. Rich ardson are in-the second race while James Oansler and O. Mc Duffle Hampton, of Columbia, are In the fight for railroad commissioner. In two congressional districts, the sec ond and the sixth, there are second races. .- In the second district J. O. Patterson, Incumbent of Barnwell and' J F. Bvrnea of Alkin are In the : second race. In the -sixth- dlstricti J, E. Ellerbee, Incumbent, and P. A.

Robert Winthrop Chanler, who last June was a millionaire Is now a pensioner on $20 a month allowed him by his wife, Llna Cavalier!. His dream of love has been shattered. The former sheriff of Dutchess county, artist, clubman, so ciety man and politician, and the grand opera queen, "the most beauti ful woman in the world," have parted forever. Cavallerl has Chanter's en tire fortune and he Ja in America penniless, says a Paris dispatch to The New York World, This was learned today through friends Of Chanler In Paris. Many of the details how Chanler was dup ed b ythe singer, ( how she got him to transfer his property to her, how she flouted him after the marriage and many of her escapades with a Russian nobleman since the wedding are matters of common knowledge among certain Americans in Europe. Conned Her Night and Day. It was in the spring of 1909 that Chanler, not long before she sailed, after her grand opera season here, fell in love with Llna Cavallerl. From the moment he set eyes on her, the grandson of John Jacob Astor lived with one object In view, to make her his wife. He went to see her at noon every day, as soon as the singer had left her bedroom; he waa with her every afternoon; he went to hear her sing every time she appeared at the Manhattan Opera house, - and then took her to supper every night Af ter the performance, There waa nothing the singer ex pressed a desire for that Chanler did not try to move heaven and earth to get. For twelve months the mllllon- aire courted Cavallerl. She played him along, now sending him to the seventh heaven of rapture, now plunging htm to the lowest depths of (Continued on Page Two.) E HILL FOR AT LEAST ONE DAT Masses Colonel Buries Himself in His Home and Will Not Be Disturbed SOON STARTS AGAIN OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept. 11. After an absence of three weeks. Col onel Roosevelt Is home again, weary from his western trip, but well satis fled with the result. He enoyed every minute of it, he said. The colonel reached New York at 10 o'clock this morning from Pitts burg. His automobile waa waiting for him at the ferry; he hopped Into it with agility, whirled across the city to a ferry for Long Island, and a little after noon was in Oyster Bay- His firaw .orders were that no one should be permitted to Invade the pri vacy of Sagamore Hill, and for the day he relapsed into the comforts and seclusion of his flimily life. Tomor row he will plunge Into an accumu lated mass of correspondence. It Is likely that this will occupy his entire day, and that whatever consultations are to come with those who have in hand the fight to force his election as temporary chairman of the coming state republican convention will be kept waiting until Tuesday. It was on August 23 that Colonel Roosevelt left New York and during his absence he has been In Id states and has traveled more than 6,600 miles, mostly through the middle west delivering about 100 speeches. Wher ever he went, he received the honors usually accorded to a president only, and the enthusiasm of the great crowds that greeted him everywhere made his Journey both notable and conspicuous. To the people of the middle west he declared himself on almost all of the questions now be fore the nation. His utterances Were accepted aa his political creed, and were received with . satisfaction by many Insurgents, although Colonel Roosevelt himself In a speech at Kan sas City classed himself as a pro gressive. Early In October Colonel Roosevelt will launch out again on a shorter lour-through the South, daring which he will make a campaign speech tor Senator Beveridge In Indiana.

For several years the Erie has been working at- the gigantic task of carv ing an open cut for Its passenger trains through the solid rock of Ber gen Hill, which In some sports Is 800 feet high, The cut was opened for trayel not long ago, but there still remains the task of hewing a com mon portal for the old tunnel and the new cut, out of the ledge where they will meet west of the boulevard. It was there that the fall came today. A wall of rock from four to ten feet thick still separates the two sets of tracks and eight sets of drills were pounding away at It today.

II IS REALLY AN INCURABLE MAUDY Health Bulletin Adheres to Old Belief That Rabies in Animals Is Not Fallacy WAfimNOTOtf, Bept. 11. Hydro phobia Is a reality and not a dream, Incurable, and not Infalllably pre ventable and Is a respecter of no par tlcuUr season nor species of mam mals, says a public health service re port today. A. M. Btlmson, It au thor, repudiates certain mad dog fal lacies and his report admit rabies may not bo uniformly futal, though It Is almost so. Pesteurltatlon general ly prevents development. Mad dogs are not always wild-eyed and frothing at the mouth and deter mined upon attacking every person they meet. "The rabid dog." says the report, "is sjck; he is not necessarily running wild and furious; he Is fre quently obedient up to a late- stage, and often seems to have a bone In his throat or, to have sustained In Jury to tho back." Another fnlliuy Is the general belief that rabies Is much more easily trans mitted In summer than in other months: the explanat on Is that more people are moving about and become subject to attack. Nor Is the malady confined to any climate or region. It It liable to occur In the arctic or the equatorial Jungles. Dogs, wolves, coyotes and skunks seem to be es pecially susceptible.
