Confident that Safe Majorities

By John Edwin Nevin
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, Nov. 2. For. the first
time in the history of the United
State the voters tomorrow will di
rectly1 select one-third of the member
ship of the United States Senate. In
consequence added interest is felt in
the outcome. In addition to the Sena
tors an entire new House of Repre
sentatives is to be elected. While the
European war has interfered to a
great ektent with the general inter-
est the last week of the campaign
witnesses an old fashioned revival of
spirit. Present indications are that
nearly a normal vote will be cast.
In addition to the national feature

Washington and Oregon, the voters
will pass upon the question of prohi-
bitioir of the liquor traffic.

k Montana and Nevada the women j
feel certain that they will win. In
North and South Dakota and in Mis
souri the other States where consti
tutional amendments will be voted on
they frankly admit that they will in
all probability be defeated.
The States which will elect United
States Senators are Kentucky, where
a selection is to be made to fill the un
expired term of the late Senator Brad
ley and the following, where Senators
for the full term of six years will be
named: Oregon, Arkansas, Alabama,
Florida, Oklahoma, Nevada, North

(By the United Press.)
New York, Nov. 2. The largest number of million
aires on record in a single court proceeding were today
criminally indicted by the Federal grand jury under the
Sherman anti-trust law for the New Haven looting.
Twenty-one indictments were found. They charge a con
spiracy to monopolize the New England transportation
lines in restraint of trade. The defendants named in
cluded William Rockefeller
Theodore N. Vail of the American Telephone Company,
Robert W. Taft, brother of the former President : Louis
Cass Ledvard. George F. Baker, a Morgan partner and
chairman of the board of the First National Bank of New
York. All the defendants were New Haven directors and
are charged with amalgamating the transportation lines
in New England. The defendants were not in court, but
were ordered to appear. Ex-President Mellen was not
' indicted. He will probably be

STOLE SUIT PI ftTHFS
Solicitor Henry E. Shaw returned
Sunday afternoon from Clinton, where
he had been engaged in the trial of
the Sampson county court docket,
prosecuting for the State.
.He relates a pathetic incident,
showing the frailty of human nature
when subjected to the temptation af
forded by opportunity. A traveling
salesman representing a prominent
shoe house, receiving a salary prob
ably in excess of two thousand dol
lars a year, having sold a bill of shoes
to a general merchant in Clinton, se
cretly took from the merchant's stock
a suit of clothes. The merchant, dis
covering the loss soon afterwards, lo
cated it at a pressing club in the
town, whereupon an officer in civilian
clothes was placed on watch. Later
the unfortunate man came in and, af
ter putting on the waistcoat, was ar
rested by the officer, whereupon he
acknowledged his guilt, begging for
giveness.
Restitution having been made, the
merchant, touched by the incident, ex
pressed Satisfaction. It was a case
of an inherent weakness probably
aal ' tne commission oi an
act whl. when he stood face to face
with it, brought him great sorrow, as
well as deep humiliation.
again one of the chief factors on the
stump.
Both sides are confident. Democrat
ic congressional headquarters admits
that it expects to lose a few members
of the House. The party leaders will
not be sorry, as the unwieldy major
ity has been a source of real trouble
to them. But they deny the Repub
lican claim that their control of eith
er the Senate or the House is in jeop
ardy. Incidentally Oscar W. Under
wood, the Democratic House leader,
will be elevated to the senatorship in
Alabama, the fight there having been
fought out at the primaries, where he
decisively defeated Captain Richmond
Pearson. Hobson.
The general situation presents some
very interesting contests. In New

CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY ,
OF STRANGE CONSECRATION
Wilmington, Nov. l.-The tenth a
niversary of the late Bishop Strarige's
consecration as Bishop of the Dio-
cese of East Carolina, was fittingly
and impressively observed at St,
James' Episcopal church, where the
consecration service was held ten
years ago. It was the purpose of
Bishop Strange, had he lived, to cele
brate the 10th anniversary of his
episcopate in this church. Having
this desire in mind, it seemed fitting
to many members of the church that
the services and message of All
Saints' Day at the morning service
be in the nature of a memorial to
Bishop Strange.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Durham, Nov. 1. The members of

this morning's conference to accept
the generous offer of G. W. Watts rel

The acceptance was unanimous and a
vote of thanks was extended to Mr.
Watts. Mr. Watts' offer was that he
would give $60,000 toward the build
ing of a new church if the congrega
tion would raise an additional $20,
