Permission, it was al lied, has been refused. The original jurisdiction of the Su premo Court was invoked and pro ceeded today under the Constitution provision for, the initial proeeedure in that court for suits between for fiirn states and the United States, but Cuba's attorneys state no record of any former suit by foreign state against an individual state of the Un ion. The bonds involvel in the proeeed ure beLHin today were issued by North Carolina in subscriptions to aid in the construction of western North Carolina, Williamston and Tarboro; Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruther Turd and Western railroads.

The bonds invol ved in the proceedings begun' in the Supreme Court today by attorneys fur the Cuban government in an ef fort to recover $2,185,000 from the tyate of North Carolina were known as special tax bonds, and were issued V tie so-called "Carpet-bag" ad ministration of this State immed ;;:ilv after the Civil War.

YERIAN LAST NIGHT. A Plain Talk to a Large Audience. The Rescue Work of the Salvation Army. Mrs. R. I). Yerian, a field officer of the Salvation Army, spoke to a large audience at the Central graded school building last night. She spoke of the great relief work the Salva tion Army is doing, and especially the work of the girls' rescue homes which the Army maintains in various parts of the country. The central thought was that every man is his brother's keeper and that so far as we are able we are responsible for the welfare of our fellows. She said that 100,000 girls in the United States go down to nameless graves every year. The Salvation Army brings a message of salvation to these. It has seen the benefit and necessity of advertising. It has dis tributed tracts and done all possible to attract the public's attention to the work. Last year it saw 64,000 souls" converted. We go to win souls and not the influence of those who have niches and position, she said. Mrs. Yerian spoke of the carious department of the work, but more at length' of the rescue 'work among the unfortunate women, 230,000 of whom are on the way to destruction every year. Gne of the causes of this is the low kages paid to girls in large cities, many of whom work for $3.00 a week, not enough to keep soul and body together. Another cause, she sai4, is bad literature, which is a fruitful source of adding to the num ber of wayward girls. She referred in strong terms of the bad effects of many moving picture shows. Noth ing in the world is worse than these, she said. Many of the pictures shown are of vile and of low ideals. This is one thing that sadly needs justify ing. When rightly used the picture show is a great force for education and betterment", but as they are many of them are tremendous forces to in crease immoralityrTlieJpI"ctiire'''men ought to clean up or they ought to go out of business. Mrs. Yerian drew a vivid p eture of the awful conditions of the, white slave traffic. Her talk was plain and impressive throughout.

Each Will Re ceive Vote Tomorrow Night With Only Immediate Members of His Family Present. Still Active Scenes at Headquarters. (nrTbeAtaocUttdPrtii) New York, Nov. G. Pres'dent Wil son and Charles K. Hughes, candidates of the dorminant parties for Presi dent, remained quietly at their homes today, recuperating from their labors of the long campaign. The last words sent forward by them to the people was an expression that each felt confident of victory. President Wilson plans to renca'n quietly at Shadow Lawn today and his only activity tomorrow will be a trip to Princeton to cast his ballot. Tomorrow night, with only the mem bers of his family about him, he w'.ll receive the returns in his study at Shadow Lawn. , Mr. Hughes remained at his hotel early in the morning but later visit ed National Republican headquarters, chiefly, it was stated, to thank the workers for their efforts-in his be half. He intended to take a drive through the parks this afternoon and spend the rest of the day quietly at his hotel. Tomorrow he will vote in his home d'strict here, and tomorrow night will get returns in hi3 hotel rooms Like Mr. Wilson he plans to have only the immediate members of his'family with him when'.the returns come. i Polif ical headquearters still present ed scenes of activity here today. The last reports from the political battlefield- have been received, and the final instructions sent. Both the chairmen had little to add to their forecasts issued Saturday night. Re publican cha'rman Wilcox then pre dicted that Hughes would receive 100 majority in the electoral college, while Democratic Chairman McCor mick gave Mr. Wilson 364 votes. The nccessarv electoral vote in the college is 26G. Tfie larger participation of "women as voters in the Presidential cam paign, and the Congressional election are of keen interest to politicians generally. The returns from States in which women vote is admitted will be closely and anxiously scanned. So far as Congress is concerned a full House of Representatives and 33 Un'ted States Senators will be elected. The total membership of the House is 435, and the necessary ma jority is 218. In-the Senate the pres ent membership is 96 and the neces sary iJ-ajority is 49. In all 35 new Senators Avill take seats next March. Two Republicans "were elected in Maine in September. Forty-two of the States will elect state office tomorrow in addition to nnlioral Congressional candidates. Of the states. 35 will .elect Governors. Fiur weather and moderate temper- itnres is forecasted cenerallv tor lection day, and if this prcd:ction -olds true, virtually a full vote is ex pected throughout the country.
