SURVEYS THE FIELD Washington, Nov. 4 rhajjem- ocratic administration today surveyed the field, of political battle and couWted up general losses throughout the coun try sustained, in yesterday's engage ment at the polls. ' : President : Wilson, ' who retiredt las night without waiting for detailed re ports of the election," awoke to find his party's majority' in the House pared down considerably, with- the returns still coming in,' and its control of the Senate ' maintained, but wit h several seats dependent on backward returns. Democratic leaders asserted today that the losses in the House, 'where upwards of fifty additional seats were captured by a Republicans, "were "no more than they had ' expected. ' .They declared that the administration still retained a good working'' majority; Many dis tricts were still in doubt today, however, and Republicans claimed that the final feturus would show .-'the Democratic majority .reduced still further, perhaps entirely eliminated. , - V The - general melting away of the Progressive vote throughout the coun try was a -source of - jubilation to the Republicans. . - The ; Progressives lost none of the nineteen seats which they held in the present House on the face i of the early returns. These were gained by the Republicans Who also won back many districts which fell to the Demo crats in the 1912 landslide. .' Victory' in -these .'districts ' brought back "Uncle Joe" i Cannon and sev eral of his old associates in the House from ; Illinois. - Former Representa tives ' Mc Kinney,' Fuller, Rodenbert. and Sterling will return to the places they occupied when "Uncle Joe" wielded the Speaker's gavel.; Connecticut, where the Democrats lost all five 'districts, also returned two former members, Ebenezer J.

Disap pointment at the prospect of missing the thrills at the Wild West show that came to town'Sunday led her to at tempt suicide. The lure of," the big street parade, with its scores of gaudily painted Indians and picturesque cowboys and cowgirls, had added fuel to the flame of her desires, and Tuesday night she impatiently awaited the arrival of her young husband, A. R. Sanford, a con ductor for the street railway company When Sanford 'Stepped into his home at No 29 Huli street, he found his bride of seven months quiet excited in anticipation of ;tRe Wild West thrills Told to Wait She told 'her .husband she wanted him to take herVto the show Tuesday night, but he suggested that she had better wait until Wednesday afternoon on account of the crowds and crush always incident to a night circus per formance. Mrs. Sanford was sadly disappointed. Her brother, who, with a friend, took supper with the Sanfords, agreed that she had better wait until Wednes day, but she thought differently. '' After the brother and his friend had taken their departure, the young husband told his wife he wished to go to a nearby cigar stand, and would return within, a few minutes. Left alone then with her disappointment, Mrs. Sanford called 12-year-old Ed ward Verner, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Verner, with whom the Sanfords room, and dispatched him to a drug store for a phial of carbolic acid. Knowing her husband would be back Shortly, she bid the boy speed as fast as he could. - i- Life Not Endangered About three minutes before San ford returned the -girl swallowed a draught of the poison. Sanford found her lying on the .bed. Temporary relief was administered by the ' husband; and, Mr. and Mrs. Bernor, pending the arrival of the Grady hospital ambulance. An exam ination at the . hospital showed that she had not taken sufficient poison to endanger her life., "My wife had 'been in good spirits, there had been, no family trouble of any kind, and we had been living hap pify I know o no reason why- she should have taken the poison except for her disappointment that I didn't want to take her 'to the circus last night," said the husband. tative Gudger in. the tenth Narth Carolina district, and W. P. Martin, Progressive, was in the lead on back ward - returns in 'the third Louisiana district. , .' . - ' I The results in the House will shift the' v - Democrats ' leadership in that body.

Whether there is any danger is not known but the Canadians do not want to take any chances. NEGRO CUT UP Unknown Man Carved Frank Jen kins Last Night.

Officers at -once went to the scene and found that Frank Jenkins, a respecta ble necrro who lives on Main street. had ;n fact been seriously injured by unknown person. According to the story told the police by Jenkins a negro man drove up to his house in a transfer and called him out into the yard.

After making the assault the as sailant ran and was not captured. Jen kins is in pretty bad shape. ENSIGN TRIED FOR THEFT.

Parti.- ikirly signi ficant i- what he w.itcs regarding the admitted s'iperiorit of the French artillery and the eleve r rnses they adopt. He writes: "I proceeded by train to Metzland, thence set off by motor, with an Ober lieutenant as an escort, to visit the fighting line. Across the French front ier and on past Latour and Woevre we met ah ever-increasing number of infantry, ar'illery, and transport col umns and the further we went the bus ier became the scene. "German officers to whom I spoke in this neighborhood were by no means satisfied over the progress of affairs; there was no progress to be noted, prin cipally because the French artillery had proved itself superior to the German. The French seem to have dragged their heavy guns out of the fortress and to have placed them in the open field. Moreover, it is asserted that the French artillery can reach at least two kifo meters farther than that of the Ger mans. "We passed on by St. Hilaire and Dutgneville to Harville, where we were only 12 kilometers from the great for tress of Verdun, whose guns were send ing out their terrible messengers of death. Not far from that point was a magnificant battery of 30 centimetre motor howitzers. I was not allowed to approach it, but German officers toM me that the Auslriand had suffered terrible losses. The French shells raked even the best sheltered positions a fact which gave the Austrians much food for thought. At last they found the solution. In a tree close to their battery, they found a Frenchman armed with a field telephone who promptry informed Verdun of any change ia the position of the Austrian guns. The brave Frenchman was given short shift. But the instance does not stand alone. Repeatedly have the Germans found country people in trees and in cellars, all with pocket telephones. "The Germans have made such act ions almost impossible now, but still they admit they are not by a long way where they would like to be. Every where I heard in Germany, officers and soldiers alike speaking with great joy of the fall of the Fort de Camp dea Romains. Now at last there was a gap in the line of forts. At the fighting, line itself I heard a very different story. -Yes, they had taken the fort and the? Bavarian soldiers had acted magnificent ly, but whether tfceyjjcould hold,kthe fort'was another queatjojj. aThe Frepch guns in the forts of Patoch.es and Leon- ' ville were so excellent that they, com- pletely covered the Camp des Romains ,. and the gap was mo gap at all." -. , . , COCA COLA COMPANY GIVING AWAY PRESENTS. s . 6'The clocks and punch sets,' which were given away at the Fair last week by the-' Coca-Cola - bottling works, werewon as follows:' s' Eight day clock won on Thursday by George Dunn of Grifton, Twelve piece punch set w t by E.
